Two theories of science debated
State committee rejects creationism
BY TY BEAVER

The Kansas State Board of Education committee voted Thursday to not include teaching intelligent design and creationism in K-12 education. The board will reconvene in April to evaluate and accept or reject the committee's decision.
The committee was asked to consider including teaching intelligent design and creationism in the science curriculum. In 1999, the board voted to remove teaching evolution from state curriculum, but it reinstated evolution in the classroom in 2000.
"They want to give an improper definition of what science is," Gleason said.
Jennifer Gleason, assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said she was relieved that the committee didn't side with proponents of teaching of intelligent design.
The concept of intelligent design suggests that somewhere in the process of creation a supernatural being or force is responsible because aspects of creation are unexplainable and thus a result of supernatural intervention.
Evolution and its possible conflict with religious beliefs has been an issue in many states for many decades.
"T they want to give an improper definition of
what science is." Jennifer Gleason Assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia and Kansas have had disputes regarding teaching evolution. Perhaps the most famous case of controversy over teaching evolution comes from the 1920's case Tennessee v. John Scope, commonly known as the "The Monkey Trial."
Ed Wiley, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, said that intelligent design and creationism weren't science. To teach them in the classroom along with evolution will confuse students, he said.
Heidi Kuster, New York City graduate student, doesn't understand why there is such a conflict between evolution and religion. Raised Catholic, she said her faith had no conflict with evolution as a theory, citing a letter issued by Pope John Paul II.

"Science doesn't tell you how to live your life," Kuster said.

Hillel has made considerable changes since 2002. A student board and the executive director led the reorganization.
Melissa Horen, president of KU Hillel, said that the presence of an executive board helped advance the organization. Jay Lewis, executive director of KU Hillel, added 16 KU students to the board when he became executive director.

Man arrested for delivering lashings to car,KU student
Lawrence police arrested a 21-year-old male after an alteration in the parking lot of Liquid, 806 W. 24th St.
early Saturday morning.
Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said that the suspect made threatening comments toward a group of people as they were returning to their car.
Once the group was in the car, the suspect then took off his belt and struck the hood of the vehicle with it.
James Ko, a 22-year-old KU student, exited the vehicle, and the suspect struck the student in the neck with the belt.

Langford's formalwear stolen from downtown tuxedo store
The tuxedo that KU guard Keith Langford wore for the cover of the men's basketball media guide is among items stolen this weekend. The mannequin the tuxedo was displayed on and a tie are also missing.
Randall's Formal Wear, 815 Massachusetts St., was broken into around 5:30 a.m. Saturday. The burglar and theft are still under investigation.
Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said the front window was broken to steal the items, valued at $1,520. Ward also said that police are not sure if the tuxedo was stolen because it was the same one that Langford wore.
Lawrence police have not identified any suspects.
State anti-union activities checked
TOPEKA — Two complaints accusing Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' administration of anti-union activities were filed yesterday, a potential embarrassment for a Democrat who received strong financial support from labor groups in her last campaign.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The complaints involve two state agencies, but the leader of the organization filing them said anti-union activities are more widespread.
The Kansas Association of Public Employees filed its complaints with the state Public Employees Relations Board, which reviews such allegations against government agencies.
Joshua Bickel
One complaint said several Department of Revenue managers made comments designed to discourage employees from joining KAPE. The second said Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services managers sat in on meetings between employees and KAPE representatives, intimidating the workers.
In December, the association filed a complaint with the review board accusing the Department of Transportation of making disparaging remarks about the union in a newsletter.
Association President Betty Vines said anti-union activity has increased since July, when KAPE protested a Sebelius decision to allow selected merit raises for civil service employees. KAPE, which has about 5,000 members and bargains for 20,000 state employees, contends Sebelius' decision could lead to favoritism.
finally gotten to the point where we're saving, "Enough is enough."
In all three cases, KAPE wants the review board to order the agency involved to stop anti-union activities. The union also wants a printed retraction from KDOT and a written apology from the Department of Revenue.
Sebelius supports "fairness and respect" in the workplace, spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said.
"People should reserve judgment until all the facts come out," Corcoran said.
Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, a Sebelius ally, said: "If there's any blanance of truth to these allegations, it's very serious."
In 2001, Sebelius, then insurance commissioner, clashed with labor activists over the selection of the Democratic Party's state chairman. However, she raised about $180,000 from labor unions for her 2002 gubernatorial race, state ethics commission records show.
"It's getting worse," Vines said. "It's
KAPE's political action committee contributed $500 to both Sebelius and her Republican opponent, Tim Shallenburger.
The Department of Revenue complaint alleges that in three incidents over six months, supervisors made comments to employees critical of the union, once saying an employee couldn't join.
Revenue Secretary Joan Wagnon said she hasn't verified the allegations, but promised to seek a resolution.
ON THE RECORD
"I wholeheartedly support the right of public employees to be part of a union." Wagnon said.
A 19-year-old KU student reported to the Lawrence Police Department that someone had stolen a smoking pipe and damaged a front door sometime between 10 p.m. Jan. 26 and 6:15 p.m. Jan. 29 at the 2200 block of Breckinridge Drive. The pipe is valued at $25, and the value of the door is unknown.
A 52-year-old KU professor reported to Lawrence police that her purse was stolen sometime between 4 p.m. Jan. 26 and 6:45 p.m. Jan. 27 at the 900 block of Vermont Street. The purse and items in it are valued at $30.

After traveling to the Republic of Guinea with the Peace Corps from 1998 to 2000, Danielle Monty-Mara came back with more than the great experiences and the souvenirs. She came back with a husband.
While many Peace Corps volunteers do not come back with a spouse, they do come back to Lawrence with an appreciation for different cultures and satisfaction that they made a difference in the world.
For the second year in a row, the University of Kansas has ranked among the top 25 schools for graduates serving in the Peace Corps.

Monty-Mara, lecturer in French and Italian, said meeting her future husband was part of the best thing about her two-year experience. Her husband's family still resides in Guinea.
"Unlike a lot of volunteers' experience that ends when you come back, I have a permanent connection through my husband," she said.
The University currently has 47 graduates serving in 24 countries, which is an increase of six graduates from last year, said Betty Baron, Peace Corps coordinator for the University and the Lawrence community.
"I have been really impressed by the commitment and caliber of the KU students, as well as the community," Baron said.

Those motives varied from seeing the world, helping and meeting other people or even just to take time off before getting a real-world job, she said. Kline was sent to Mauritania because she was open to going to anywhere, she said.
Baron, who served the Peace Corps from 1966 to 1968 in Ethiopia, said volunteers often continue traveling after completing their service.
Monty-Mara has not been back Guinea since she left in 2000, but she said she hoped to go there soon. She said she would like to take her her two-year-old son there who has yet to visit the country where his parents met.

STATE
Legislation aimsto keep tablets behind counter
TOPEKA — Work on antimethamphetamine legislation stalled yesterday because senators disagreed about how much the state should restrict consumer access to some common medicines.
The measure before the Senate Judiciary Committee would permit only pharmacies to sell tablets of cold, flu and allergy remedies containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, common meth ingredients.
The bill is patterned after an Oklahoma law credited with reducing meth lab seizures there by 80 percent.
Also, consumers would have to show photo identification and sign a log,and they could not buy more than 9 grams typically three packages, within 30 days.
Club celebrations relocated
The Associated Press
BY MIKE BARRY editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Two campus clubs will celebrate the Chinese New Year this month but neither will be able to enjoy their native cuisines on campus. Because specialty ethnic dishes are a staple of the celebrations, the Taiwanese Student Association and the Chinese Student Scholars Friendship Association each spent hundreds of dollars to hold parties off campus to avoid catering restrictions at the Kansas Union.
"We would prefer to have the feast in the Union but there are so many amenities," Xiaosen Zhou, Cheng-du, China sophomore said.
Events held in the Union must be catered by Memorial Union Catering. Its policy does not permit food made outside of the Union. Cultural groups can bypass this rule if they hire a
specialized caterer.
Whitney Fox, Memorial Union Catering coordinator, thinks this restriction is necessary to avoid potentially expensive problems concerning the University's liability. It is the only catering company on campus, Fox said. "If something does go wrong or something does get poisoned, and it's on campus, it would be the University that gets in trouble."
Both clubs have decided to serve traditional Chinese food in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Reserving the main room costs $400.
The Taiwanese Student Association used a local caterer last year but decided to make more authentic dishes for this year's celebration. It will celebrate the new year on Feb. 12, and has opted to prepare its own food because the celebrations bring a sense of community.
"In past years we just booked
Chinese restaurants but most of the Chinese food is Americanized," Mao-Sheng Hung, Taiwan graduate student and president of the Taiwanese Student Association said. "We would like to do something different and special this year." Hung said he assigned students to bring back special materials from Taiwan to make traditional Chinese food.
The Chinese Student and Scholars Friendship Association will celebrate the Chinese New Year Feb. 4. It will begin the evening performing traditional Chinese games and dances in the Memorial Union. It will then take the activities to the ECM to eat traditional Chinese desserts.
"This event is not only for fun, it is for connection." Zhou said. "Hopefully the event will bring Chinese students some warmth so far from home."

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
www.kansan.com
The University Daily Kansas and Jayplay published calendars containing information that was improperly attributed. Members of the Jayplay staff gathered the majority of Jan. 20's Weekly Choice calendar from information published on Lawrence.com.
'Kansan', 'Jayplay'admit ethical lapse, plagiarism
The Kansan began an investigation once it learned of these accusations. The investigation revealed flaws in both the Kansan and Jayplay's data gathering practices in relation to calendars.
The Kansan and many other journalists believe primary sources are best and should be used whenever possible. Secondary sources are used in journalism, but not when a primary source could be reached. A primary

source is the people, businesses and organizations themselves. Secondary sources are people talking about primary sources. Lawrence.com and other media are secondary sources.
In all cases information from either primary or secondary sources should be attributed so that you, the reader, can evaluate the credibility of the source.
The investigation uncovered a history of the Kansan and Jayplay using other media to create calendars. Small portions of music calendars from the Spring 2004 semester used secondary sources as primary sources. The Summer 2004 Kansan also utilized other media as primary sources. The practice continued in the fall semester in Jayplay and was used on a more regular basis. By the beginning of this semester the practice became almost the sole way to research for calendar information.
These practices gradually became the norm because of incorrect instructions and unclear guidance from editors.
The Kansan is disciplining all individuals involved and each staff member will learn why this practice is unacceptable. All staff members will meet to discuss sourcing, plagiarism and other tenets of journalism. Additional policies and training will be added to
calendars and other we gather are from primary sources by doing our own research. Research is the basis of any good journalism.
Kansan staff members will ensure
inform future staff members.
In the course of the investigation the Kansan discovered that a small amount of an event description from the Jan. 20 "Weekly Choice" calendar was plagiarized. The sentence, and a
half were lifted from a Lawrence.com description.
The staff member involved in this incident is on suspension.
All Kansan staff members feel pride in the work that is published for you each day. We feel that it is necessary to keep our readers informed as to decisions that we make, mistakes that we make and the problems that occur.
The Kansan depends on its reputation as a professional news source so that readers will trust what they read.

Alaskan wildlife needs preservation
COMMENTARY
Alaska, one of only two non-continental states, has a reputation of being a frigid place, home to the spectacular Northern Lights and wildlife that many Midwesterners have never seen. Because this part of our planet and ecosystem is not our front yard, we may think that what happens in Alaska stays there, but this is not so.
COMMENTARY
According to the February 2005 issue of Discover Magazine, a 1998 U.S. Geological Survey estimated that 1.5 million acres of land along Alaska's beautiful northeastern shore are sitting atop anywhere from 4.3 billion to 11.8 billion barrels of recoverable oil. For petroleum companies, these figures, and the fact that this much oil could supply the entire United States with enough oil to last three months, leaves Alaska looking like an attractive untapped resource. But this is a nightmare for environmentalists.
ERICA PRATHER
enrather@kansan.com
These lands may seem safe because, according to Discover Magazine, 19.6 million acres of Alaska is governmentally protected. Those who voted for George W. Bush can go sit in the corner. He proposed in 2001 to open this refuge for drilling, and while he was shut down in the Senate four years ago, he is likely to gain approval this year when the proposal is revisited because of the Republican victory in the 2004 election.
Charles Clusen of the National Resources Defense Council told Discover Magazine, "The coastal plain is the biological heart of the [Alaskan] refuge. If you destroy it, you'll harm the wildlife that inhabit the entirety of the refuge and beyond." This wildlife includes acres of trees, mountains, natural streams and animals such as caribou, musk oxen and polar bears.
So what can we as Kansans do when we are thousands of miles away? Decisions have been made, an environmentally unconscious president has been elected, and unless you want to fly yourself to Alaska to literally hug a tree, there may be nothing you can do about preserving wildlife. And why bother preserving it anyway? Alaskan wildlife doesn't directly affect our lives. But when any part of Earth's ecosystem is attacked, the rest of the planet suffers.
College students can take steps to help out in our corner of the world. Recycling is obvious, as is conserving food and other goods to avoid unnecessary waste. Carpool to those weekly trips to Target, don't litter, turn off the lights and television when you are not using them. You could even write to your local and national government. Being conscious of the earth and embracing these simple steps add up.
Reviewing the situation in Alaska provides an example of the respect we as humans have lost, and continue to lose, for the delicate balance of life, the enchanting way our ecosystem works, and the way in which we are constantly choosing mankind's well being over Earth's well being. "Savage" civilizations that preceded us knew how to use the Earth without harming it, so why can't we modern humans with all of our fancy technologies learn how to prevent these problems? Maybe because we are too selfish, or maybe because unless there are hard facts such as these placed in front of our faces, some of us are more concerned with what Paris Hilton wore yesterday than the state of our planet.
On a larger scale, what could be done about rising oil prices and the scarcity of oil? The answer is alternate energy sources. According to www.florida-gas.org, Florida ranks eighth in the nation for energy consumption. However, the use of natural gas in this state is on the rise, and the Florida Energy Office reported that, "increased use of natural gas in Florida's commercial, residential, transportation and industrial energy markets would result in net economic and environmental benefits to the state." Clearly there are alternatives that benefit the environment and the wallet simultaneously.
Clusen also told Discover Magazine, "If we required automobile owners to replace their used tires with ones as efficient as the tires that originally came on the car, we would save more oil than there is in the Arctic refuge." This is still more proof that it isn't picketing and tying yourself to a tree that will help our environment, it is ultimately thoughtful earthly minded decisions such as the aforementioned that help. You don't have to be a liberal tree-hugging hippie to show the Earth and the ecosystem respect.

Aid can do more than heal wounds
Given the general climate of violent, or at least unfavorable sentiment, toward our country these days, it seems that such a natural disaster is but God's way of stirring up an already boiling cauldron.
As the death toll continues to mount from the tectonic havoc that ravaged South Asia and Africa in late December, we face significant questions as citizens of both the United States and the world.
We must, however, restrain ourselves from the bitter isolation reaction that might be a logical result of the duality of the world's two hands — one open and begging, the other closed and punching.

The tsunami tragedy has been compounded by the ensuing volley of blame. After the Norwegian Jan Egeland, United Nations' emergency relief coordinator, remarked that wealthy nations were being "stingy," xenophobic Yanks denounced the international apparatus for its arrogant, self-serving humanitarianism.

COMMENTARY
And, of course, the whole affair provided an opportunity to trash the French — Fox News anchors reported the earliest French offer of $160,000 with a derisive smirk, though their pledge rose to $66 million by Jan. 3. Ironically, both the U.S. and France are
among the very lowest per capita contributors, while the Egeland's own Norway tops the list by donating $40 per citizen.
So we roll along, political animals throwing our own feces at each other while orphaned children breathe the stench of rotting corpses. Our fragility as human beings has seldom been more apparent, but we beat our chests rather than place kindness over politics.
Though the U.S. government is not responsible for all of the world's misery, the panicked and grief-stricken look to us for help as the only superpower, a position we invoke with pride. It is foolish to squander any opportunity to show the developing world that America would rather build than destroy.
If we are worried about extremism and the quick root it takes in despair, let us keep in mind that Indonesia, the country at the epicenter of this disaster,
has the largest Muslim population of any nation in the world.
The affected countries should appreciate our help, but they are well aware that we spend more money in a few Iraqi days than we plan to give several nations to share over months and years. In the end, the cost-benefit analysis of American involvement boils down to one thing: We cannot afford to give any more children an excuse to grow up resenting us.
The real object of our frustration has to be our unfortunate human inclination to create heroes and villains from a situation that should never have been allowed to turn into a soap opera.
We must help others in order to help ourselves. This was proven with the Marshall Plan, and the same strategy should be avidly pursued today.
Charity is a support mechanism predicated not on political expediency but on a basic sense of right.
Our superpower status is not merely military. We must open our hearts precisely because it is difficult to do so when we feel vulnerable. It is always wise to keep a guard up, but we must not bear two clenched fists at a time when so many need a helping hand.

If the interest went to the Regents schools, funds would go to projects on campus such as the Student Recreation Fitness Center expansion and other areas where student fees are applicable, said Katie Wolff, Shawnee senior and Student Senate's legislative director.
Funding reductions over the past few years is another motivation for a change in ownership.
The six universities have had $82 million in funding reductions in three of the last four years while tuition and fees continue to increase, according to a Regents document.
But the board can't change ownership alone.
Wolff said it was essential that students from the University went to Topeka and communicated with state legislators.
lost," Wolff said. "We want them to realize how important interest ownership is and provide them with a students' view."
Student involvement is a concern that will be addressed today in Topeka at a presentation hosted by the Kansas Campus Compact.
The group, which is based in Manhattan, is a part of the national Raise Your Voice Campaign. More than 300,000 students at 450 colleges make up the campaign.
The presentation will be given by the president of the Regents, Reggie Robinson, and Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt (R-Independence).
Any student enrolled at the one of the six state universities can attend the presentation.
Mary Hale Tolar, executive director of the Kansas Campus Compact, said the main point of the presentation would be to raise the point that the student voice was important for future improvements of the universities.
"We want to hear from students about what concerns they have about their schools," Tolar said. "Holding an event like this is important because we want to hear from students across the whole state."
Iraqis rejoice, condemn elections
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Prime Minister Ayad Allawi urged Iraqis yesterday to unite behind democracy in the wake of the country's historic elections. But al-Qaida's arm in Iraq vowed to press ahead with its "holy war" despite its failure to stop millions of Iraqis from voting.
Partial results could be released as early as today, though final results from the hand counting of ballots could take up to 10 days, election officials said. U.S. soldiers stood guard and election workers cheered as trucks loaded with the first batch of ballots rolled into Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone for the next phase of the count.
Insurgents struck back yesterday, killing three U.S. Marines in a roadside bombing south of Baahdad.
Despite the lack of official totals from Sunday's election, officials in the main Shiite coalition claimed a large victory.
A string of suicide bombings and other attacks on election day, killed at least 44 people.
Allawi called on Iraqis to unite and rebuild Iraw's shattered society.
"The terrorists now know that they cannot win," Allawi said. "We are entering a new era of our history and all Iraqis, whether they voted or not, should stand side by side to build their future."
In southern Iraq, U.S. troops opened fire on detainees rioting Monday at the Camp Bucca prison facility, killing four people, the U.S. command said.
communicate
Local polling stations worked through the night to count ballots. By yesterday afternoon, the count at all 5,200 stations nationwide was completed.
Local centers were forwarding tally sheets and ballots to Baghdad, where vote totals will be compiled in computers and then announced, election officials said.
With turnout figures expected to take some time, concern was high that Sunnis _ who make up the backbone of the insurgency _ largely stayed out of the vote and may be alienated from the government that emerges.
The group al-Qaida in Iraq,
led by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, vowed to "continue the jihad (holy war) until the banner of (Islamic) unity flutters over Iraq."
Allawi promised to work to ensure that "the voice of all Iraqis is present in the coming government."
Although no partial results have been released, political parties were allowed to observe the counting at local stations. That led members of the Alliance, which was endorsed by Shilte Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, to say they expect to win about 45 percent of the 275 Assembly seats up for grabs in the election.
Allawi's ticket was running second among the 111 candidate lists, and a Kurdish faction was third, those officials said.
The al-Sistani-endorsed list swept some southern cities, winning 90 percent of votes in Najaf and 80 percent in Basra, said local officials of the parties within in the alliance. The claims could not be confirmed, but the Alliance had been expected to run strong in the southern Shiite
The National Assembly will name a new prime minister and Cabinet and draw up a permanent constitution to be put to a referendum. If it passes, elections for a new government will be held in December. Iraqs also selected provincial councils in the 18 provinces, and voters in the Kurdish-run north elected a new parliament.
heartland.
But the prospect of a Shiite- dominated government raises concern among disaffected members of the Sunni minority, many of whom stayed away from the polls. Sunni Arabs number about 20 percent of the population but include many of the country's educational and technical elite.
In Saddam's hometown, the predominantly Sunni city of Tikrit, history teacher Qais Youssif, 48, said no member of his family had voted because the elections "were held in the way that America and the occupation forces wanted."
"They want to marginalize the role of the Sunnis," he said. "They and the media talk about the Sunni as a minority. I do not think they are a minority."

Formal practices include Shabbat dinners and services, and informal practices include events and activities that emphasize the social aspect of the organization.
"My main goal as president of the executive board is to make the Hillel available to anyone," Horen said.
She said the activities Hillel organized this year helped attendance. She said for the past two years, Hillel had arranged a welcomeback barbecue in August where about 20 to 30 students attended. This past August, Horen organized "Heatin" Up With Hillel" and
rented out Abe & Jake's Landing, which drew 350 people. Two bands performed, and Hillel served complimentary Sheridan's Frozen Custard ice cream and cheesechee.
"The event was very fun, social and a great way to catch up with old friends, ask them about their summers and meet new friends." Horen said.
The next event, "Shabbat 300," was the largest gathering in Hillel history with 400 students attending. The holiday of Shabbat, celebrated every Friday, represents a day of spiritual enrichment and relaxation after a long workweek. The event featured an hour-long service and free dinner in the Kansas Union.
have the funds to feed 400 students for free. Because of Lewis connection to the Jewish community in Kansas City, the free dinner was possible.
He said Hillel maintained a $290,000 budget this year. Contributors included individual donors from Lawrence and Kansas City, who gave about $120,000, the Jewish Federation of Kansas City, which donated $57,000 for programming and the Jewish Heritage Foundation in Kansas City, which donated $17,000 for dinners, such as "Shabbat 300." Student Senate also gave Hillel $3,500, for advertisements in The University Daily Kansan and maintenance of the organization's Web site. www.buhillel.com
Texas and Colorado are the only two Big 12 schools with larger Jewish populations than the University. Both schools have had stable attendance at Hillel events, said Margo Sack, director of the Texas Hillel Foundation, and Devorah Friedman, director of the CU Hillel.

Adam Shapiro, Austin, Texas, sophomore, said he did not have any interest in Hillel last year. He said after Horen, a good friend, became president he became involved.
"Someone just told me that there's this lady who wants to take me out for coffee," Shapiro said. "I couldn't turn that offer down."

Works by art department faculty on display in teachers' exhibition
Twenty-one professors submit pieces for two-week show
By NEL MULKA
nmulka@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
An urban fairy skates off Kansas City, Mo., buildings and a two-foot ear rests near the floor of the Art and Design Building.
Don't worry, a giant didn't lose his ear, and there isn't a fairy in Kansas City — they are art made by KU art professors Phillip Blackhurst and Maria Velasco.
Blackhurst and Velasco are two of 21 professors in the annual faculty exhibition.
The exhibition opened Sunday and will be open until Feb. 11 at the gallery in the Art and Design Building.
"The opening was very wellattended despite the weather,"said Velasco, associate professor of installation art.
Michelle Lenihan, junior, said that the show was a chance for
art students to see where their professors were coming from while they were teaching class.
Lenihan said it was also a learning experience.
"Here we get a good professional example on how to show your work in a gallery," Lenihan said. "It's exciting to look forward to."
Velasco's piece, "A City With a View" wasn't meant to be seen in a gallery. The five-foot viewer that plays footage of the skateboarding fairy was originally located on Central Avenue in Kansas City, Mo., as part of last year's Avenue of the Arts exhibition.
When people look into the viewer, they see a person, or "urban fairy" as Velasco describes it, skateboarding off buildings on Central Avenue and hiding in windows.
"I thought of how I can make a piece that engages viewers and takes them out of the monotony of and routine of
"We have some people
who just pass through But some people walk through, see something interesting and they linger."

work." Velasco said.
She said her piece needed extra explanation because the art relied on the original Kansas City atmosphere.
The city scape was the springboard for the piece, she said.
Stunts and tricks were made by lavering separate films.
Luke Anderson, Topea sophomore, said the show gave viewers a peek at how the faculty fit nationally.
"I suppose the KU art faculty is just a microcosm of the entire art scene," Anderson said.
Lenihan said that it was sad that a significant amount of traffic for the faculty show were cafeteria customers who had to go through the gallery to get to the eatery.
Brian Devine, a gallery employee, said the location of the cafeteria was helpful.
"We have some people who just pass through," Devine, Laramie, Wyo., senior, said. "But some people walk through, see something interesting and they linger."
Devine said attendance depended on the type of exhibit and the day of the week.
He said that exhibitions had a larger attendance earlier in the week because they were newer and not as many people had seen them.
Potential jurors attempt to avoid Jackson molestation trial
Edited by Kendall Dix
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA MARIA, Calif. — Dressed in a bright white suit and jewel-trimmed vest and belt, Michael Jackson stood before the first group of prospective jurors yesterday. They could decide his fate on charges that he molested a teenage cancer patient and plied the boy with alcohol at his Neverland Ranch.
Accompanied by four defense lawyers, Jackson smiled as he faced prospective jurors. He also greeted the clerk with a handshake.
Outside, several hundred fans pressed up against a chain-link fence and shouted words of encouragement, holding up signs that read, "Dear God, Please Give Michael Justice" and "France Supports and Loves MJ."
Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon, whom Jackson has derided in a song as a "cold man" with a vendetta, did not come to court. A deputy represented the prosecution.
Jackson, 46, is charged with molesting a teenage boy — then 13, now 15 — and plying him with alcohol.
On Sunday. Jackson issued a
court-approved video statement on his Web site, predicting he would be acquitted. His parents also spoke out in his defense yesterday.
"I know my son, and this is ridiculous," his mother, Katherine Jackson, said in an interview broadcast on CBS "The Early Show." She said people who believed her son was guilty "don't know him."
Judge Rodney Melville told the first group of 150 prospective jurors that they might have to serve for about six months, but that it was an important duty.
"Most of us have relatives who
have fought and died to protect this service," Melville said. "Freedom is not free. Jury duty is part of the cost of freedom."
The first group was predominantly white. About a quarter appeared to be Hispanic. There were only three blacks.
Sixty-six members of the first group asked to be excused, but during questioning by the judge, two changed their minds. One woman was excused from the case.
Five hundred more prospective jurors were to be processed yesterday, today and Wednesday.
The judge wants 12 jurors in

addition to eight alternates.
Judge
The small-town feel of the jury pool was apparent during questioning. One woman ran a pet shop, while another was in local real estate. One woman said she could get a medical excuse from
her doctor across the street. A few said they had friends who work at Jackson's Neverland ranch.
Other prospective jurors said they had to care for sick relatives or had too many job responsibilities. One woman said that at 75, she was "just too old."
"You don't look a day over 60." the judge replied.
"Your employer doesn't pay
luv service?" Melville asked.
One man said he couldn't serve because his employer wouldn't pay him while he was on jury duty.
"He's an attorney; No sir" the man said.

Miles key to turnaround
KANSAS

Seniors Wayne Simien, forward, and Keith Langford, guard, jump off the bench to celebrate an alley-oop from senior guard Aaron Miles to junior forward Christian Moody last night. Simien led all scorers with 22 points and eight rebounds. Simien and his fellow seniors are now 8-1 out of the Missouri Tigers.

Late assists propel 'Hawks past Tigers
By MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
MLENNEN SPORTSWITTER
Aaron Miles apologized to his teammates at halftime. The senior guard said he thought he was responsible for the Kansas Jayhawks' lackluster first-half performance. The Jayhawks trailed the struggling Missouri Tigers by eight at the half.
"When we play like that, I feel like it's my fault." Miles said.
Although Miles wasn't the only Jayhawk to blame for Kansas' sub-par first half, he was the key to their second-half rally that ended with a 73-61 victory against Missouri.
Miles scored 10 points and nine assists in the final 20 minutes of play and finished the game with 14 points and 10 assists. He hit consecutive three-pointers early in the second half that not only narrowed the Missouri lead to five, but also got the frustrated crowd back in the game.
But for someone who takes so much responsibility for things that go wrong. Miles doesn't take credit for what goes right.
Last night was just another example. It seemed like he was involved in every second-half play for the Jayhawks. Whether it was pushing the ball up the court or dishing out a perfect alley-oop pass, Miles did it all. Heck, every time he shot a three-pointer last night, it went in.
But he credited Keith Langford, who also came out of the locker room smokin' hot, for the Jayhawks second half resurgence.
Langford, who scored only two first-half points, looked like a different player after the intermission. And it wasn't because he traded in his white Nikes for black ones.
The senior guard scored nine second half points, breaking loose for transition buckets, slashing through the Missouri defense and opening up countless perimeter shots for his teammates — well, mainly the starters.
"Yall might say it was me, but I think it was Keith, more so because he just started attacking and drawing double teams."
rebounds in 24 minutes of play. Sophomore J.R. Giddens hauled in 15 points and threw down an alley-oop dunk that gave the Jayhawks their first second-half lead, one they would never relinquish.

great," Self said. "But it all keyed off of Aaron."
When the Jayhawks were forced to stay an extra night in Philadelphia after their 83-62 loss to the Villanova Wildcats, Self said Miles was the most vocal in the team meeting they had at the hotel. Self has said all year that Miles was the last one to point fingers when something went wrong. Instead,
he finds ways to fix it.
"J.R. made some baskets. Christian made some baskets. They were both
So it should come as no surprise to the Jayhawks that Miles came through once again.
"He's been doing the same thing consistently game after game," Langford said. "It just kills me that people don't give him his recognition."

Defeat puts Mizzou coach's job security further in question
BY KELLI ROBINETT

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The Missouri Tigers showed promise in last night's game at Allen Fieldhouse.
After falling behind by seven points early on, they regrouped and stuck it to the Kansas Jayhawks for the remainder of the first half. Sophomore forward Linas Kleiza came off the bench, and the Tigers got hot. They made 15 of 29 shots and closed the half off with a scissillating 20-4 run, giving them an eight-point halftime lead.
But Missouri coach Quin Snyder knows all too well that promise means nothing without results.
Kansas switched to a zone defense in the second half and chipped away at the Missouri lead. It took Kansas a long while to put Missouri away. The game was still close with three minutes remaining when Kleiza committed his fifth foul and then mouthed off to an official, earning him both a seat on the bench and a technical.
"That definitely hurt us," said Missouri freshman forward Marshall Brown. "They were up, but we had a chance to come back. We would have had a chance to make a run until that technical."
The play symbolized Missouri's entire game, and even its entire season. The Tigers played well enough to win, but they committed so many mental errors that it didn't matter matter how much promise they showed.
A question about Snyder's job security was sure to come following the game.
"It would be selfish for me to answer that and talk about myself," a visibly distraught Snyder said after being asked about how long he expected to be Missouri's head coach. "I'm concerned about the team. Ultimately, though, I know I'm accountable."
In fact, it was the second question he was asked.

This season did not exactly start out the way LR. Giddens planned.
Giddens 'just plays', emerges from slump
Until recently though, Giddens had the dubious distinction of being the season's biggest disappointment.
The sophomore guard entered the season with expectations of a lottery pick in the NBA Draft and a chance at ending up as an all-Big 12 Conference selection.
Dating back to overtime against Georgia Tech, through the game against Texas A&M, and then through the beginning of the game at Kentucky, Giddens endured a 59-minute dry spell. He wasn't shooting, he wasn't rebounding, and he certainly wasn't defending.
In fact, Giddens was in the middle of a pronounced sophomore slump.
His play earned him more and more time on the bench, time which he used to focus on what was wrong.
"When you're playing playground ball, you can play like you don't care." Giddens said. "I don't think I was thinking too hard. I'd say I was thinking too much."
On the advice of coach Bill Self, Gilders relaxed and just played. So far, it's working. Judging from both Saturday's demolition of Texas and last night's triumph against Missouri, Gilders has turned the corner.
"Nick Bae tried to drive on me to the hole, and he said, 'J.R. you're sliding your feet good,'" Giddens said.
Sliding out to cut off open lanes and force extra passes is an area of defense in which Giddens has made an effort to improve. This extra work has made him more valuable on the floor and helped him carry the load when the team was trailing hated rival Missouri.
Several times last night he spun past his defender, stepped inside the line and shot up a two, instead of a way-too-long three. Even beyond that, Giddens is dishing assists. While he didn't wrack up any against Missouri, he did accumulate five assists, a season high, against Texas.
The last two games represent a new Giddens, one who is playing a big part in his team's victories.
Of course, any piece on Giddens wouldn't be complete without at least some description of the acrobatics that fans have come to know and expect of the sophomore from Oklahoma City.
In last night's game Giddens had the second-most points, 15, and the second-most minutes, 36. He also pulled down four boards. With Giddens' height and jumping ability, he shouldn't have had the rebounding problems he endured through early January.
not only is Giddens working harder to grab the loose ball, he's also making the extra pass. Early on, the team could rely on Giddens for mostly one thing: putting up the three. But lately he's discovered the pass and the pivot.
With 10:24 left on the clock in the second half, the Jayhawks moved down the court after successfully defending a Tiger possession. As senior guard Aaron Miles moved the ball up court, Giddens saw his chance. Telling himself to "just run J.R.," Giddens took off for the basket.
Giddens has also made night-and day improvements on defense.
As he streaked along the baseline, Miles fed him an alley-oop, which Giddens slammed home, giving Kansas its first lead of the second half, 52-51.
Yes, I'd say it's safe to assume J.R. has turned a corner on his season, and it couldn't have come at a better time for the Jayhawks.

Swimming finishing strong
BY KELLY REYNOLDS
kreynolds@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
Arkansas is a familiar squad to the Kansas swimming and diving team. Each year the Razorbacks and the Jayhawks meet in a non-conference dual meet that always promises to keep the crowd on its toes.
"It's a good rivalry. We have good competition that brings out the best in both teams," coach Clark Campbell said. "Especially being a Jayhawk. Everyone wants to beat the Jayhawks."
In 2002, the Jayhawks hosted a contest against the Razorbacks when Cathy Burgess was still the Kansas coach. It was the final home meet of the season. Current senior captain Amy Gruber swam the 100-yard freestyle, finishing first place with a time of 52.08. Gruber, a freshman at the time, also swam the last leg of the 400-yard freestyle relay for a winning meet.
In 2003, the Jayhawks headed south for another competition against Arkansas. This time around, coach Clark Campbell was the man in charge. The results were different, too.
The Jayhawks lost the meet in Arkansas 181-119, but Campbell and the team would have another opportunity in 2004. When the Razorbacks traveled to Lawrence second semester last year, the Jayhawks defeated the Razorbacks at home once again.
With the alternating pattern of winning at home against Arkansas and losing in the Razorbacks' house, the question regarding how the swimmers and divers would perform Saturday was in the air.
After Kansas rolled over Drury Friday night 144-86, they packed up and headed to Arkansas. The team arrived at about midnight for the highly anticipated competition Saturday.
Despite the long bus ride Friday to Drury in Springfield, Mo., and yet
another tedious drive to Fayetteville, Ark. Campbell and the Jayhawks stomped the Razorbacks on their territory, breaking the pattern of winning and losing against Arkansas. Coach Campbell said he was impressed with the team's performance.
"The team did wonderful. There was so much energy and enthusiasm," Campbell said. "It's situations like back-to-back meets that build toughness, regardless of how we swim."
The tenacity of the team was not the only thing that led them to domination against Arkansas. The team had several events in which they claimed first and second place.
"We had great depth against Arkansas," Campbell said. "But hats off to Arkansas. We were not near as sharp as them, but we won races and that's what it takes to win meets."
This weekend was not the only occasion this season that the Jayhawks had back-to-back competitions. At the end of October, Kansas took on Southwest Missouri State in Springfield, then traveled to Columbia for a contest against Missouri.
"Looking back, we are swimming very objectively better than in October," Campbell said.
Earlier last week before the Jayhawks left on their mission for victory against the Panthers and the Razorbacks, Gruber said she was excited about returning to her home state and reflected on the history of the Kansas-Arkansas rivalry.
"Arkansas, beat us two years ago," Gruber said.
Captains Gruber and Miranda Isaac have been around for four years of the rivalry. In 2002, Isaac captured the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 106.51. On Saturday, she capitalized on her specialty three years later and won the race again with a time of 1:05.07. She also walked away as the winner of the 200-yard breaststroke, clocking in at 2:20.62.
Gruber out-touched Arkansas sensa
tion Zzuwsa Csobanki by a hair more than a tenth of a second in the 100-yard freestyle, and she hung with Csobanki in the 50 freestyle, claiming second place with a time of 23.48.
"Csobanki is hotter than any swimmer in the country." Campbell said.
Kansas took the heat from Arkansas and continued to turn it into positive energy.
Sophomore Lia Pogioli swam a season-best time in the 1000-yard freestyle. In addition, junior backstroke and freestyler Gina Gnatzig took first place in both the 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard backstroke at the Arkansas meet. Against Drury, Gnatzig swam a lifetime best in the 400-yard individual medley with a time of 4:32.86.
On the diving front, sophomores Shelly Noonan and Jenny Roberts dominated against Drury, claiming first and second place. Because of Roberts' outstanding performance, she will join junior Casey Topol and sophomore Shelly Noonan at the NCAA Zone Diving meet in March.
The past weekend placed the Jayhawks in perfect position to end the season on a high note, and to enter the Big 12 Conference championships ready to dominate.
"College swimming is geared towards championship meets," Gruber said.
Campbell said the winning weekend had given his team an edge as they wrapped up dual meets and entered Championship waters.
"Winning builds confidence, and we are getting better every meet." Campbell said. "Not only are we tough, but we are tough and we're swimming well."
The Jayhawks will take on the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday, Feb. 5 in their last home, dual meet. The six Kansas seniors will be recognized before the meet at 2 p.m. that day at Robinson Center Natatorium.

When the Kansas men's golf team tees it up at the TaylorMade/Big Island Invitational Feb. 9 at Waikoloa Kings Golf Course in Hawaii, it will have been more than two months since the team's last tournament.
Senior Kevin Ward, sophomore Gary Woodland, sophomore Tyler Docking, senior Andrew Price and junior Pete Krsnich are the five golfers that qualified to play in Hawaii. The qualifying took place in November and was the last time the team practiced as a group.
During the break between the fall and spring seasons, the Kansas golfers have been on their own for practice.
The winter weather conditions that the area experienced in January made it difficult to get outside and play.
"Our players have been doing the most they can,weather permitting." Kansas coach Ross Randall said.

Because of the renovations that are underway at Alvamar Golf Club, the layhawks' home course, the team has making due without a driving range.
Senior Kevin Ward did much of his playing at his home course of Leawood South Country Club.
Sophomore Tyler Docking said he did most of his playing at Meadowbrook Golf and Country Club in Overland Park. Docking also was able to escape the cold weather in Kansas and travel to Florida to play.
Junior golfer Luke Trammless lines up a putt last semester on the back nine of Alvamar Golf Club. The men's golf team will compete at a tournament in Hawaii starting Feb. 9.
"Our players have been playing a lot on the course with the driving range being closed," Randall said. "They have been finding many ways to keep busy."
Although the driving range at Alvamar has been closed since October, the Jayhawk Practice Facility has remained open. The practice facility is a short-game area at Alvamar that allows the players to practice their chipping.
One of those ways the team has been keeping busy is hitting the weights. The team has been spending four to five days a week in the weight room.
pitching and bunker play.
The private course at Alvamar has also remained open during the renovations to the public side, so the players have still had a course to play in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks will come out of the mid-season break and jump right into a difficult field at the TaylorMade/Big Island Invitational. Coach Randall said that this would be one of the most difficult tournaments of the season for the Jayhawks.
The team will leave for Waikoloa Hawaii, on Feb. 5.
"You gotta start somewhere," Randall said.

Jersey ceremony honors former Kansas, NBA standout
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jonathan@kansan.com
KANAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
On a February day in 1972, Bud Stallworth recorded one of the most impressive individual performances in Kansas basketball history.
Facing the Missouri Tigers, Stallworth scored 50 points, coming just two short of the all-time record set by Wilt Chamberlain on Dec. 3, 1956 against
Northwestern University. With a final score of 93-80, the Feb. 26 game was special for Stallworth.
It's only fitting then that Stallworth witnessed the retirement of his jersey on the same day that the current incarnation of the Jayhawks defeated Missouri, 73-61.
"Norm Stewart was a great motivator," Stallworth said of the former Missouri head coach. "We always wanted to beat that team."
Stallworth was more than a
one-night wonder. In his career Stallworth accumulated 1,495 points, 16th-most in Jayhawk history. If not for a couple of rule changes, Stallworth could be even higher on the list.
Stallworth earned all those points in just three seasons, as freshmen were prohibited from playing until 1972. Additionally, in Stallworth's time, the three-point are didn't exist. Driving to the basket and drawing the foul was the only way to get the extra point.
Stallworth's career extended beyond the Jayhawks. He enjoyed a career with the Seattle Supersonics of the NBA as the seventh-overall draft pick in 1972. He also spent time with the New Orleans Jazz.
"When someone says we're getting ready to put you up there with those guys — Wilt Chamberlin, Raef LaFrentz, Paul Pierce — it's a humbling experience," it壮 worth said.
Bridges and Walter Wesley, whose jerseys have already been retired. Dave Robisch will have his jersey retired at the Feb. 27 game against Oklahoma State.
Stallworth and four others
form a forgotten portion of Jayhawk history who did not have their uniforms retired in the order most similar to the years they played for the 'Hawks. Several, including Darnell Valentine, were somewhat bitter at the snub, but all embraced the chance to return to Lawrence and see their jerseys hung from the rafters.
Joining Stallworth and Valentine in this year's class of jersey retirements are Bill
"It's something that we felt, for the anniversary of the Fieldhouse, would be great," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs. "These players all deserved to have their jerseys up there."

TURNAROUND: Zone defense closes Tiger run
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The Jayhawks recognized that whatever they were doing in the first half wasn't working. Kansas led by as many as 10 points in the first period, but with about six-and-a-half minutes left before the half, Kansas hit a rut.
Missouri went on a 20-3 run to close out the first half, sending Kansas into the locker room trailing 36-28. After the game, none of the Jayhawks seemed to know why that happened.
"I can't explain it," Langford said. "We can't let that happen again."
They certainly didn't repeat that performance in the second half. The 'Hawks outscored the Tigers 45-25 in the second half. They went 15-of-26 from the field and earned 16 points off of turnovers.
After Miles' crowd-energizing three-pointers, Kansas put together a couple of small runs that slowly narrowed the Missouri lead.
"We knew that we could go out there in the second half and chip away at the lead," Giddens said. "Nobody was going to come in our house and punk us."
It was Giddens' ally-oop slam, off a pass from Miles, that put the Jayhawks up 52-51 with about 10 minutes left to go in
the game. The Tigers never got another lead.
Self moved his players into a zone defense that frustrated the Tigers. The Jayhawks moved in and out of the zone regularly throughout the last 10 minutes of the game, and the Tigers couldn't keep pace.
The zone forced the Tigers to take long, ill-advised shots, allowing the Jayhawks to pick up some long rebounds and push the ball in transition. Kansas had 13 transition points in the second half.
Self said he thought the change in defense would help the lavhwaws seal the victory.
"The biggest thing was to change the pace of the game," Self said. "We just wanted to get them out of rhythm."
However, it wasn't the zone that changed the pace of the game for the Jayhawks. Kansas was up by a point when they went into it.
He may not take credit for it, but Aaron Miles was the reason why the game took a twist in the Jayhawks' favor.
GAME NOTES
Freshman forward Alex Galindo did not suit up for last night's game because he reaggravated his groin injury in the Jayhawks' victory against Texas on Saturday.
forward, C.J. Giles, would play this Saturday at Nebraska. Giles has not played since the last time the Jayhawks met the Cornhuskers, on Jan. 19. He suffered a bruised foot Jan. 9 against the University of Kentucky.
■ Self said he was hopeful that his other injured freshman
Miles, senior guard Mike Lee, Langford and Simien are 8-1 all-time against the Missouri Tigers. The seniors are 7-0 when facing the Tigers during the regular season.
Miles broke another Kansas record last night. The Portland, Ore., native's 10 assists gave him 19 career games with double-digit assists, moving him ahead of Jacque Vaughn for the most such games in Kansas history.
Wayne Simien said he would no longer have to wear the cast on his left hand that he has had since he injured it against South Carolina on Dec. 18. Simien underwent surgery on Dec. 20 and missed four games. He returned to the line-up on Jan. 12 against Iowa State and has been playing with the cast ever since.
He said he expected to replace the cast with a small bandage when the Jayhawks travel to Nebraska on Saturday.
"I'd like to get out of it as soon as I can," Simien said.

NHLlockoutnegotiations sufferanothersetback
HOCKEY
NEW YORK — The NHL and the players' association are now disputing whether they have anything to talk about.
The sides have had limited
contact by phone since Thursday, when the league presented more salary-cap concepts in an effort to reach a new collective bargaining agreement. But even that talking stopped yesterday.
"We broke up on Thursday and both agreed to keep the lines of communication
open,"Bill Daly, NHL executive vice president, said.
Ted Saskin, the NHLPA's senior director, said Daly shouldn't have expected a response.
"We were very clear on Thursday that we would not be negotiating over his proposed concepts," Saskin said.

SNYDER: Tigers struggle, record falls below .500
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
one know what they thought Snyder's chances were of keeping his job before the game even began. Nearly every fan wearing a Muck Fizzzou shirt shook signs reading "Quin Snyder... You're fired" from yesterday's edition of The University Daily Kansan.
Last night's loss was only the most recent of Missouri's struggles under its slick-haired coach. Since taking over in 1999, the Tigers best finish in the Big 12 Conference was a 5th-place tie in 2002-2003. Last year Missouri failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament and was under a national microscope while the NCAA investigated the athletic department after cheating allegations surfaced.
Missouri attempted to forget its problems after firing Snyder's entire coaching staff and opening a state-of-the-art arena. The team's new arena was originally named the Paige Sports Arena,
but had to be renamed Mizzou Arena after a 20/20 special revealed that the woman the stadium was named after may have cheated her way through college.
The new assistant coaches also have a dismal record, as last night's 73-61 setback to the Jayhawks dropped the Tigers record under .500 at 10-11.
"You can't let your kids lose faith," Snyder said. "I know we can win. We've won this year. We certainly have had some success in past years. We were in position, until the last three or four minutes to win the game tonight. You can't let disappointment get in the way of progress. This is a time when we've got to be strong."
Snyder said that he thought his team got better after the game, and that there was still time left to right the ship.
Unfortunately, his time is running out. Missouri has nine games remaining before the Big 12 Tournament, and unless something drastic happens in
the coming weeks Missouri will undoubtedly have to win the conference tournament to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Players were also asked whether they thought Snyder would be gone next year, and most of them shrugged and admitted that it was at least a possibility.
"That's not my decision," Brown said. "I guess that's on the athletic director. Whatever he feels is best for our program. I guess he'll make that decision."
In fact, only one player seemed willing to stick up for his coach.
Freshman guard Jason Horton said Snyder was safe at Missouri, and that the media was making too big of a deal out of the situation.
"I'm confident he'll be here," Horton said, "and he's the only coach I ever play for."

First Management to drop ads after Quin fiasco
By Ross Firch
ffitch@ansar.com
KANSEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER
After a satirical poster attacking Missouri coach Quin Snyder appeared in Allen Fieldhouse Monday night, First Management, Inc. is halting its sponsorship of University Daily Kansan ads it cannot approve.
First Management's logo appeared on the ad, which read "Hey Quin ... You're fired." Not only do First Management officials not support disrespecting coaches and players, but First Management president Doug Compton is also a close friend of Snyder.
First Management's main complaint, which led it to cease sponsoring the gameday ads, was that it was not allowed to approve the
ad before it was published.
Ashleigh Dyck, Kansan business manager, said sponsors were not allowed to see the ads ahead of time because they were not public property until published.
"We will not support, in any way, ads we cannot approve." Sheryl Krzanowsky of First Management said. "We're only going to advertise what we can approve."
Had the Kansan known of Compton's connection to Snyder, First Management would have been given the option to drop the logo, Dyck said. Not allowing the Kansan to take full blame for the posters, Dyck also said the purpose of the posters was made clear.
"They understood the purpose of the posters is satire," she said.

Student aids tsunami victims
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egarcia@kansan.com
KANSAN SAKST WRITER
Kevin Raymer made arrangements two years ago to travel to India this year to work with an HIV program in a hospital in Chennai. He didn't expect that two weeks before his trip a tsunami would strike southeast Asia and parts of Africa.
Raymer, a fourth-year medical school student at the University of Kansas Medical Center, left for India Jan. 11 for an international elective program offered by the Med Center. His experiences are much different than he planned as a result of the tsunami, which struck Dec. 26.
Raymer's day starts with a two-hour bus ride to Pudupattinam, a city on the coast of India, where he spends four or five hours helping patients. He said that the No. 1 aliment he treats is respiratory tract infections because many of the people who were in the tsunami's wake swallowed a lot of sea water.
"It's a lot different from the U.S. it's a lot of primary care." Raymer said. "We see the patients and we do what we can. We see the patients really quickly and try to give them the medicines we have."

Bill Lacy, director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, stands smiling in front of a picture of former president and boss Ronald Reagan. Reagan's presidency is the feature of the 2005 Presidential Lecture Series, which kicks off tomorrow and will last through the end of February.
Speakers share their memories of Reagan
BY JASON SHAAD
jishaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
As a student in 1975 at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Bill Lacy couldn't imagine he would someday serve as a political director for the future president and eat dinner with him. Lacy, director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, recalled how he and a group of 14 other students dined with Ronald Reagan after a speech Reagan gave at Vanderbilt.
"I was very impressed with how affable and easy-going he was." Lacy said. "He was very interested in hearing what students had to say."
After serving two terms as director of the White House political department, Lacy is helping students discover what people have to say about Reagan.
The Dole Institute's third annual presidential lecture series, entitled "The Reagan Presidency" begins tomorrow with a lecture by Lou
"Lou was there from the
beginning to the very end. He provides a sort of overarching objective analysis of Reagan."

Cannon. a definitive Reagan biographer.
Jonathan Earle, associate director of programming for the institute, said he wanted to start the series with someone who could give a broad view of Reagan's life and presidency. Lacy had similar ideas.
"Lou was there from the very beginning to the very end," Lacy said. "He provides a sort of over-arching objective analysis of Reagan."
The series will feature three other lectures throughout February. Other lectures will focus on Reagan's presidential image, foreign policy and presidential campaigns.
Josh Steward, chairman of the KU College Republicans, said he attended some of the events last year and planned to attend all of the events this year.
Steward is most looking forward to the speech on Reagan's political campaigns, he said.
Previous series included lectures by Pulitzer Prize-

Accreditors weigh student, faculty suggestions
BY DANI LITT
dlltt@kansan.com
dllttKANSAN STAFF WRITE
Suggestions introduced by students, faculty and staff included allowing architecture students to design a building for campus rather than hiring outside contractors, strengthening government relations and utilizing University resources.
A team of scholars visiting the University of Kansas this week will look further into suggestions for reaccreditation.
The next step for the 12 scholars of the accreditation team will be to compile information from suggestions, concerns and individual meetings with other people at the University. Information will be measured against the criteria for reaccreditation. The suggestions the scholars provide will help the University become more successful, said Barbara Romzek, chairwoman of the steering committee and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Twenty-two people attended the open four forums yesterday and Monday. Romzek said the accreditation team used the comments and concerns they heard at the open forums as another way to get information about the campus.
Michael D. Johnson, GTA for the department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, said he salary was 10 percent less at the University than at a northern school he taught at six years ago. But Johnson also said the department treated him well.
One of the four students at the forum was a graduate teaching assistant who voiced his concerns about GTA salaries and the University administration.
Johnson said the University easily found money, except for GTA salaries.
"Where are the priorities? Where is the money going?" he said.
The previous accreditation report from 1994 included a concern that GTAs were being overused and underpaid, according to the Self-Study report.
The 2005 Self-Study states that salaries and benefits for GTAs have increased, and the tuition enhancement has increased the availability of graduate fellowships.

The University is too publicly modest and needs to find a way to publicize its accomplishments without seeming arrogant, said Dan Consolver, director of academic technology services.

Contest to award tickets to the Big 12 Tournament
Contestants will have to write a short essay, no more than 600 words, describing why they are the world's biggest Jayhawk fan. Essays are due by 5 p.m. Feb. 17, at the SUA office on level four of the Kansas Union.
Student Union Activities is looking for the world's biggest Jayhawk fan and will give the winner two tickets to the Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
SUA will then choose the top-10 finalists and provide them with a camera that they will use to take as many pictures of themselves at KU-related events and with as many KU celebrities as possible. Cameras are due by Feb. 28, and the contestant with the most diverse and enthusiastic pictures will win tickets to the Big 12 Tournament.
"We want to promote the good things about KU that aren't just athletics," said Becca Swick, McPherson senior and SUA traditions committee member.
The winner will be announced March 1.
SUA is also looking for KU students to serve on next year's SUA board. Applicants can either apply for an executive position or a coordinator position. No previous SUA experience is required. Applications are available now at the SUA office and are due by Feb. 18 for executive positions and March 2 for coordinator positions.
"We're looking for students who want to get involved with the school, are outgoing and want to serve in a leadership role," said Megan Wesley, Hutchinson junior and SUA cultural arts coordinator.

Hall Center for Humanities to host oral history workshop
- Joshua Bickel
Ten to 12 speakers will share their life experiences during an oral history workshop at the Kansas Union Ballroom on March 18.
The Hall Center for the Humanities will hold "Learning to Hear the Stories VI: Listening in the Borderlands," which will also detail the history and relationship of Native American and African-American culture, said Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center for Humanities.
"The point of the workshop is to get subjects and themes that conventional archives don't allow you to get in the same way," Bailey said.
Conventional archives could be letters, diaries or any other written documentation; many of these forms of communication have been lost in the past 20 to 30 years.
The primary speakers are Angela Y. Walton-Raji, an Arkansas Native American, and Patrick Minges, a professor at Davidson Middle College in Lexington, N.C. Both will discuss slave narratives.
Bailey said that the event is not a campus event, even though it will be held on campus. The event is open to anyone, and Bailey expects KU graduate students, faculty and individuals from museums and archives at the workshop. Individuals who register by Feb. 28 will receive a complimentary lunch at the workshop. Bailey said that the workshop attracted 200 people last year and a similar turnout is expected this year.
Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. In the article, "Reorganization increases Hillel's student membership," Melissa Horen was attributed as saying 20 to 30 students attended a "Welcome Back" barbecue the past two years. There were approximately 150 students who attended the barbeque in 2002 and approximately 165 students who attended the barbeque in 2003. The article also said that Horen organized "Heatin' Up With Hillel" this year. Erin Bodzin, social chairwoman of the KU Hillel Foundation, and Katie Weil, special events chairwoman of KU Hillel, also organized the event.

Malott to be renovated

Malott Hall looks sound from the exterior. A visit inside, however, reveals the skeletons of seven projects in progress.
Projects spanned from the third through six floors of the building, which is home to the physics and astronomy, chemistry and medicinal chemistry departments.
Some rooms have skeletal walls and dust coats every surface.
Three of the multi-million dollar renovations began last semester. The building was in need of modification and upgrades, said Jeff Aube, chairman of medicinal chemistry.
Aube said his department would benefit from three projects. One is a large-scale remodeling; the other two are upgrades to research facilities.
The department is also upgrading its reverse osmosis

The department of chemistry leads three other projects. Two are lab upgrades for faculty who arrived in August 2004 and are funded by tuition enhancement dollars, said Susan Teague, chemistry department business manager.

The Underground boasts new facelift; doubles revenue, staff

Twice the revenue means twice the work. The Underground in Wescoe Hall, a dining area that was reconstructed in 2004, is bringing in twice as much money as the old cafeteria, and has the numbers to prove it.
The old cafeteria, which employed 45 workers, brought in approximately 1,200 customers a week. The Underground, which employs approximately 120 workers, brings in approximately 3,000 people a week, Michael Myers, assistant director of KU Dining said.
Anna Beggs, Overland Park junior, grabs a quick lunch on Monday afternoon at Chick-fil-A at The Underground in Wescoe. 'I grew up in Texas with Chick-fil-A.' Beggs said
The Wescoe Hall cafeteria had not been renovated since 1992. The KU Memorial Unions, which operates the cafeteria, decided to renovate the cafeteria because it needed to be updated, Myers said.
The money allocated for the renovations came from student funds and internal funds gained through retail services, such as the KU Bookstores.
"We try to use our student funds as little as possible," Pat Beard, director of building services, said. "We try and save our

revenues from retail services to pay for our development."
The University chose restaurants based on a student survey and restaurants that did well at the Kansas Union.
The KU Memorial Unions has a five-year agreement with each business. It could not disclose contractual information for the businesses, but the KU Memorial Unions pays about 5 to 10 percent of monthly revenue for franchise fees for some of the establishments. The remaining franchises required an up-front fee or a per cent of sales for national advertising.

Journal-World exaggerates Union beer sale's impact
If Student Senate passes a bill tonight to send a petition to administrators, beer could potentially be sold
The predictable headline of The Lawrence Journal-World two months from now will be: "Bowling team's ranking greatly decreases after beer sold in Union."
on the first floor of the Kansas Union. Sales of 3.2 percent beer could then lead to drunken bowling practices, which in turn could eventually lead to full out drunkenness of the team and suffering performance. This is not to mention that
Beer was sold in both the Kansas Union and the Burge Union until 1997.
Senate's petition to "Investigate Bringing Responsible Alcohol Sales to the Memorial Unions" mentions that

restricted, at University fund raising events and in designated areas for tailgating before football games.
the performance of students at the University of Kansas will also suffer. Students will start to show up to class "two sheets to the wind," not to mention the professors. And this is all because of beer on the first floor of the Kansas Union.
Obviously, this so-called vision of the future is greatly exaggerated. But it is not any more exaggerated than the fuss that the issue has caused.
The Journal-World put the story on the front page on Jan. 26. The article seemed to be reassuring readers that there would be an emphasis on responsible consumption, as if that weren't a given. The article also points out that Kansas State and Wichita State universities both allow alcohol on their campuses. Surely it is common knowledge to those students that alcohol is allowed on campus. So obviously, there have been no tragic accidents or crimes caused by alcohol's presence.
Alcohol sales on University property is nothing new. The University allows alcohol consumption, though it's
alcohol was sold "without incident," meaning that the alcohol available at the unions was sold and consumed responsibly.
Alcohol is definitely not a brand new concept that has just hit campus. Almost every student has either
been hungover or has sat next to someone who was hungover in a Friday morning class. And it's not as if alcohol isn't easily accessible. Any student can walk a few yards from the Kansas Union and, with the proper identification, drink at The Crossing or The Wheel on any weekday afternoon.
As the petition states, "Alcohol use is prevalent in college culture, and overall contemporary society." If this is true, then why all the to-do? Consumption of alcohol is an accepted part of campus life, so why does it seem as if it's a completely alien concept to the outside world? If the petition is passed, accepted by University administrators and 3.2 percent beer is allowed, the bowling team will not become drunken hooiligans and neither will the remaining members of campus who do not already fall into that category. Life will remain as it is, and this issue will be left to stand as one more that was blown out of proportion.

Soldiers deserve students' respect
THE CROSSWORD CAN WAIT
Any government that grants its citizens free speech has made a very dangerous choice. Certainly, an unrestricted public forum will result in the discussion of more ideas, and will possibly result in a governing system that creates the best possible lives for its citizens.
DONALD W. HALLMAN
But with that catalytic word "unrestricted," discussions and ideas that are absurd at best will undoubtedly ensue.
MATTHEW SEVCIK msevcik@kansan.com
This is why I'm dumfounded by the
One such incident recently touched the University of Kansas. A group protesting the inauguration of President Bush, and I assume his policies and decisions, recently staged a demonstration. At the end of this demonstration, the protestors marched down to the Military Science Building.
I'm honestly still trying to wrap my head around this one. I've always considered myself a liberal thinker, but what did these protesters think was going on? Did they think that the ROTC cadets were responsible for the war? Did they think that the military service members loved to leave their families and go abroad, putting their lives on the line?
I can assure you, they don't. These young men and women are doing a job for their country. An extreme sense of duty trumps any personal political feelings.
The right to free speech should come with a certain set of responsibilities. One of which is having at least an inkling of understanding about what you are discussing.
It's important for people to understand that when a student contracts with the ROTC, they make a vow to defend the Constitution, not whoever we think is right. Just as it would be unfair and ridiculous for someone to assume that all Kerry voters were vegetarians who don't take showers, it's unfair and ridiculous for someone to assume that all ROTC cadet
support every policy and position of the Bush administration.
That being said, President Bush is our commander-in-chief, and ROTC cadets also took an oath to obey the officers appointed above them. That's why it is so important for people to make sure the commander in chief is someone who truly represents them and will use the military in a responsible manner.
Regardless of whether you support the war, soldiers should be the last people you stage a protest against. They are merely doing their job for the current, elected politicians. If you want to see some changes made, I'll tell you once again to get out there and make sure the people in power represent your attitude toward war I know I'm beating a dead horse, but voting is the most important right we have as American citizens.
Does this mean that the soldiers are merely tools for our government without feelings or convictions? No. It means that their convictions rise above political parties, above partisan agendas and above eight-year terms. Their trust lies in America, and because of this, they are willing to defend it to the utmost of their abilities.

KAT'S CALL
During a visit to the Student Recreation Fitness Center, after an indulgent semester abroad, shrinking gym-goers, whose faces were etched with hard-bound determination, kept themselves occupied on the machines around me. They peddled, rowed and jogged furiously toward Cancun and hard beach bodies. Suddenly realizing that March is around the corner, I lost my grasp on the elliptical hand bars. I glanced down at my gelato-nourished thighs, groaned and decided to wait three weeks before swim-suit shopping at Shark's.

The effort to lose weight quickly for spring is futile. It's a tired New Year's resolution and concept. Experts at the FDA define responsible weight loss as losing three-quarts to two pounds each week. If a beach-bound student lost one pound each week until spring break, only eight pounds would be shed. But thousands subscribe to commercial programs, such as Cortislim, because its makers promise dramatic weight-loss in just a few weeks.
The trend is contagious. Everybody I know works out, and many of them are trying to lose weight quickly.
Not only that but also the ever-idolized royalty of Hollywood are boasting jealousy-inducing whitted waistlines. Nicole Ritchie is all of a sudden skinny. No doubt, Gwen Stefani is looking increasingly like a flagpole, and I think Al Roker weighs less than I do.
Aside from building muscles that gleam in the Caribbean sun, why are we beating ourselves up for a quick fix?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 25 percent of
adults aren't active. This is the problem. But the solution isn't to slave away at the gym.
We waste too much time on the treadmill. Much like our rodent pets, on a treadmill, you may run three miles, but you haven't moved an inch. The hamster wheel is meant to occupy a pet and was never intended for human use. Let's get somewhere instead of spending hours running nowhere fast.
Activity means more than 45 minutes at the gym. While physical aesthetics lie in the minds of exercising college students, incorporating activity into life outside of the gym can reap the same benefits plus increase overall well-being. Physical activity pulls in a myriad of benefits, including relief of depression and anxiety, increased bone strength and even increase life-span, according to the CDC. When activity equals life-altering benefits, being active shouldn't equal torture.
Sled down Daisy Hill. Learn to play racquetball. Play with your dog, cat or little brother. Enjoyable exercise is easy to stick with. The time-shortage excuse is as worthless as a fat-free cheeseburger, but you may need to cut hours playing Halo.
The United States Department of Sports and Recreation recommends a mere 30 minutes of moderate activity on all or most days of the week.
And for those still wondering about their second chin, perhaps consider ordering Gumby's once a week or limiting Corona consumption to less than a full case an evening.
Aristote said, "Moderation in all things." This is the key to self improvement, whether it's physical or mental.
Stu Mittleman, author of "Slow Burn; Burn Fat Faster by Exercising Slower," understands the concept of living an active lifestyle. Instead of thinking in terms of exercise, Mittleman looks to children as models for an active lifestyle.
"Even within the confines of a structured work-out session or coaching session, most five-to-seven-year-olds will find a way to tickle their buddies while the coach is making a serious attempt at a new technique or defensive strategy." Mittleman said in his book.
The lesson is to have fun in day-to-day activities, not to go crazy on the stationary bike.
Mittleman is a distance runner who in 2000 ran from San Diego to New York City in 56 days, and I'm sure he looks fabulous in a bathing suit.
So consider the benefits of activity rather than the benefits of exercise. Rethink a goal of losing 10 pounds before Fort Lauderdale, and instead, aim for a better quality of life.

WASHINGTON — Former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole is expected to be released this week from the hospital, where he's been recovering since injuring himself in a fall last month.
The 81-year-old former senator and 1996 Republican nominee for president fell Jan. 11 while moving a suitcase in his Washington apartment, said Mike Marshall, an aide.
The fell tore Dole's rotator cuff and other shoulder muscles, injured his left arm and left him with a cut below his right eye that required stitches, Marshall said.
Dole depends on his left arm because of a disabling injury to his right arm suffered during World War II.
Dole has been hospitalized at Walter Read Army Medical Center but is expected to be released by today.
"It was quite an ordeal," Marshall told The Kansas City Star.

SPONSOR: Satirical ads seen on national TV

actual coach of an opposing team, Dyck said Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight has been the subject of numerous satirical ads in the past.
Krzanowsky said First Management was not cutting all ties with the Kansan. She said the company would continue to advertise, just not through the gameday posters or anything it
could not approve beforehand.
Compton said the posters did not damage his friendship with Snyder.
"He knows I would never do anything to hurt his family or our relationship," Compton said.
The loss of First Management's sponsorship does not worry Dvck.
The ads were seen on SportsCenter, ESPN's "Cold
Pizza" and in newspapers, Dyck said. The logos are highly publicized, so finding another sponsor shouldn't be a problem, she said. But the Kansan will take extra measures in the future, she said.
"We're going to make sure the sponsor understands the nature of the posters so we don't end up in this situation again," Dyck said.

REAGAN: Lecture series free to public

For Lacy, the series is part of an idea he has had since he attended Reagan's funeral last year.
"When I left his funeral I said to my wife, Susie. 'It's a shame I have this knowledge and experience and don't have any way to share it,'" Lacy said. "I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great to be some place where I could pass this knowledge on.'"
And now he is. Lacy helped select the lecturers for the series, many of whom he knows from his work in the Reagan administration.
Lacy said the lecturers included a combination of historians and practitioners. This ensures that people get perspectives from people who write about history and people who participate in it. Lacy said.
Tickets for "President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime" by Lou Cannon are available for free and can be picked up at the Lied Center and Student Union Activities ticket offices.

'Greenies' most popular dog treat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
W
NORTH KANSAS CITY, Mo. Five years ago, the makers of the popular "Greenies" dog treats sometimes survived on saltines as they tried to get their product on store shelves.
Today, the minty green bone- and-toothshaped snack that some owners refer to as "doggie crack" is the No.1 brand of dog treat in the United States and number two in the world, according to market tracker Euromonitor International.
"We feel really blessed," said Judy Roetheli, who started S&M NuTec LLC eight years ago with her husband, Joe, out of their Kansas City-area home. "The synergy has just worked for us."
An aggressive marketing strategy that put the breathscrubbing product in national retail outlets such as PetsMart, Petco and Target, as well as a strong push to establish Greenies' image in the highly competitive pet supplies market, also helped.
Euromonitor said that between 2000 and 2003, Greenies' share of the U.S. pet treat market went from less than half a percent to 11.2 percent, overtaking Kraft Foods' venerable Milk Bone brand. The privately held company doesn't give out revenue figures, but analysts estimate the company
that year had $181.2 million in sales,
Worldwide, S&M NuTec had 5.3 percent of the market, running second to Pedigree.
Euromonitor analyst Brian Morgan, in Chicago, said S&M NuTec has benefited from Greenies' unique look and easy-to-remember name. It also fostered a loyal following among pet owners for improving dog breath and dental hygiene.
“It's the timing,” Morgan said. “I think the market is at a point where there's a trend of humanization of pets and the idea you should treat your dog with the same respect to its health as you would a child.”
Sue Coyne, 44, Shawnee resident, said she gives her 12-year-old Husky, Bleu, a Greenvie three or four times a week for her breath.
"I'd say those are her favorite," Coyne said. "They last about four minutes."
Coyne also works in a pet store and said she regularly sees customers come in every two weeks to snap up a supply.
"We've never had someone bring one back and say their dog didn't like them," she said.
The first dog to sample Greenies was Ivan, the Roetheli's Samoyed that had breath so bad people didn't want to come out on the back deck with him.
Joe Roetheli, with a doctorate in agriculture and, in the mid-
1990s, working at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, started tinkering with various formulas until he found one using chlorophyll to counteract breath odor. He mixed it with a wheat-based resin to form a green-colored, hard treat Ivan could chew on, helping clean his teeth and gums.
"In less than six months, we had Ivan's breath 85-90 percent cleaned up." Joe Roethel said.
Figuring other pet owners were dealing with the same problem, the Roethelis started S&M NuTec in 1996 to turn the home remedy into a marketable product. The "S&M" refers to their sons, Steffan and Michael.
Around this time, Joe Roethell resigned from the USDA, leaving the couple and their two sons without a main source of income. It took two years to develop Greenies, during which the family sometimes relied on Steffan and Michael's afterschool jobs for grocery money.
Initially it was a family operation. Judy Roetheli went on cold calls at pet stores while their boys sat in front of the television packaging Greenies in plastic bags.
In 2000, the Roethelis went to California for their first pet supply show and came back with $150,000 in orders — more Greenies than they had made up to that point.
"Finally, it just sort of took off," said Judy Roetheli, who is
company president. Joe is CEO.
Besides quickly getting shelf space in national chains, the company aggressively marketed their products, setting up special displays in the store aisles, further differentiating themselves from the stacks of rawhide and pig ears next to them.
There have been some bumps along the way. One of the company's shipments of Greenies to the United Kingdom in 2002 got a little too much attention from customs agents dogs trained to smell contraband. Only after weeks of tests did authorities allow the treats to continue on to stores.
The company has also gone to court to protect its turf from what it considers copycat products. One such defendant claims the company has bullied national chains from buying similar products over threats of trademark infringement, a charge S&M NuTec denies.
S&M NuTec is also looking at coming out with a Greenies for cats, as well as products aimed at bird owners.
Looking ahead, the company wants to move beyond Greenies. Last fall, the company rolled out some new products, including Hip Chips, treats aimed at dogs with joint problems, and SecondWind, an energy treat for high-performance or working dogs.
"We wanted to diversify a little bit," Roe Heelthe said.
Students get sea legs during term on ship
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONOLULU — There was nothing to hold onto.
Lauren Osgood watched as waves and flecks of sea spray licked at the glass on the door. Computers, library books and furniture crashed to the floor and were flung against the walls as the ship leaned like a massive metronome from port to starboard and back again.
"We were right by the exit doors on either side, and so you could like see the waves on the doors, which freaked me out," said Osgood, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who was enrolled in the Semester at Sea program, which used the research ship Explorer as a floating classroom.
The Explorer limped into Honolulu Harbor on Monday for repairs and inspections after passengers endured more
than a week's worth of rough seas.
The ship's see-sawing motion made sleeping difficult, so many of the nearly 700 students were awake when a wave shattered the glass on the ship's bridge and three of the four engines shut down early last Wednesday.
The incident occurred about 650 miles south of Adak, Alaska, in the Aleutian Islands and about 1,300 miles southwest of Anchorage.
Students said rough seas had plagued the ship since they left Vancouver on Jan. 18 with 990 people aboard, including about 700 students enrolled in a University of Pittsburgh program designed to give students a global perspective.
The crew distributed plastic bags for nauseous passengers and students sat on the floor during classes because the furniture was not secured to the floor and would topple with the ship's movement.
"We were so used to it after a while. You'd just be talking to someone and when you felt the boat move, you'd just instantly grab for something," said Becca Leonard, 21, a junior at the University of Southern California.
After the engines and bridge were damaged, passengers and crew donned life vests. The students were herded into the ship's narrow hallways and eventually to the fifth deck of the ship.
The crew eventually separated the students and passengers by gender. Some students weren't sure whether the procedure was meant as a prelude to entering lifeboats, or as a safety measure, or both.
A spokesman for the ship said the crew took precautions to protect passengers.
"They tried to stick everyone in a hallway, so we were like
halfway on top of each other, said Melissa Good, 20, a junior at Indiana University.
"It was totally not fun when it was happening, but afterward, everyone was so much tighter," Leonard said.
"Safety is always the first concern when you do anything at sea. This is a state-of-the-art vessel," spokesman Jim Lawrence said. "The route she travels is one taken by 6,500 vessels a year, and she has a superb captain and crew."
Osgood and Leonard suffered bruises but said the experience "bonded the group."
The ship is expected to remain in Honolulu for about five days while undergoing repairs and Coast Guard inspections before sailing for Shanghai, China.
Pope John Paul II taken to hospital
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROME — Pope John Paul II, suffering from breathing problems and the flu, was rushed to the hospital last night, Vatican officials said.
The 84-year-old pope has been suffering from the flu since Sunday and apparently suffered a "breathing crisis," a Vatican official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Earlier, a close member of the pope's staff, American Archbishop James Harvey, said he didn't know the pope had gone to the hospital but knew that the pope had congestion and a slight fever during the day.
The Vatican planned to issue
a communique toward midnight yesterday. In the meantime, cars with Vatican license plates were speeding toward to Rome's Gemelli Polyclinic Hospital where the pope had been taken, according to an AP correspondent at the scene.
It was the same Rome Catholic teaching hospital he was taken to when he was shot in the abdomen in 1981 and at which he has undergone several operations.
The Vatican appeared calm with no traffic or sign of an alert last night. The sudden transfer of the pope caught his own staff by surprise.
The frail pontiff has Parkinson's disease, which makes his speech difficult.
STUDENT: Skills used to help

Raymer was inspired to help people after a pivotal change in his life. During his senior year at the University, Raymer became a Christian, a decision that altered his life and affected many of the decisions he would make, he said.
"My life changed a lot and the direction in my life changed a lot." he said.
Raymer finished his undergraduate studies and had to make a choice about continuing on to medical school or taking a year off so he could grow spiritually. Raymer chose to continue his education and said that it was God's planning.
His decision to go to India was not hard to make, he said. Raymer had traveled to Bucharest and Moscow with Hope Worldwide, a faith-based charity. During his trips he helped with charity work at local orphanages.
Those who know Raymer say that they aren't surprised he had a desire to go to India.
"I think it's pretty cool and he's doing what he wants to do," said Tanner Raymer, Kevin's younger brother.
Raymer's mother said his family was very proud of him, but she said she was nervous about him going abroad.
"Helping people is what makes him happy, he's always had a big heart," Sherry Raymer said. "That's what he wants to do, as long as he keeps in touch."
Raymer was raised in a farmhouse 15 miles south of Russell, so when he first arrived at the University, he had to adjust to a school and a town much larger than he was used to.
"There was a lot I wasn't ready for," Raymer said. "When I walked into my first general chemistry class there were more people in that class than in my whole high school."
Raymer became a member the Nu chapter of Sigma Nu and originally wanted to become a physical therapist before he got the longing to practice medicine.
"When he came home and told me he wanted to be a doctor, I said, 'Oh brother,'" Sherry Raymer said. "Then I thought, 'Can he really do it?'
"He has always been able to do what he wanted to, he has always had high goals," she said.
Raymer spent summers in Russell helping Earl Merkel, a KU alumnus and a local practitioner who assisted in Raymer's birth.
"He has always been targeted to go to med school because of his dedication and commitment." Merkel said.
Raymer helped with patient's histories and shadowed Merkel while he attended to patients.
"He was a huge influence on me, more so in my college days and at the med school," Raymer said. "This guy's dedicated 46 years of his life for Russell."
Raymer is scheduled to return from India on Mar. 12.

University wants your organ
Hello campers. Because of my demand, Tongue in Beak has returned again. We'll be here, on the back page of the Kansan, the first Wednesday of every month this semester. If you're easily offended, you might just move on to the sports section. I hear the men's curling club has some wonderful stories. I'd also like to apologize ahead of time to anyone we offend this semester. Sorry, you thin-skinned pansy. Learn to take a joke.

TONGUE IN BEA WRITEER
Amidst growing concern over rising tuition costs and expanding deficits in the state budget, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced the "Organ Harvesting for Tuition" program at a press conference yesterday in Topeka. The program would offer KU students tuition breaks in return for select vital organs.
Laurie Stinnell, vice president of Office of Administrations, said she hoped the plan might subsequently discourage unhealthy student behavior. "For instance, what better way to get underage kids to drink less than to remove one of their kidneys and/or their liver," Stinnell said. "Maybe kids would think twice about smoking if they knew they only had one lung to breathe on, instead of two."
Robert Eday, Ottawa freshman, thinks the idea is "awesome." "I mean KU gets something from me.
that I probably don't need until I'm at least 40," Eday said. "Instead of owing $10,000 to the University when I graduate, I'll only owe like $8,000. It's a win/win situation!"
The administration refused to comment on the possible destination of the extracted student organs. Several leading health service providers and Mrs. E's cafeteria have expressed serious interest. But as of yesterday, the University hasn't made a final decision.
The program does have some opponents, including Amnesty International, which insists that the University would be violating "almost every international law on humane treatment and fairness." The organization suggested the University just dedicate more revenue to financial aid.
"That's a bunch of activist nonsense," Hemenway responded. "This plan once again proves that the University of Kansas is one of the most progressive universities in all the country."

Pfizer launches 'anti-drug' drug

TONQUE IN BEAK WRITER
BY CHRIS CRAWFORD
In collaboration with the government's Office of National Drug Control Policy, Pfizer announced the launch of Viabrex, touted as the first 'anti-drug' drug.
Robert Cox, Pfizer spokesman said the drug would be prescribed to curb marijuana cravings. "The ONDCP approached us, realizing that we both had a common foe." Cox said. "F-ing potheads. The government hates 'em; We hate 'em.
Every bong blow is money out of our pockets. And if we can get parents and doctors to push Viabrex on
them, we'll make a killing and marijuana will disappear."
Might best be known for its National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign commercials. Titles include: "Why'd you steal from Grandma?" "Oops you
Grandma?" "Oops, you killed an
old guy" and "You let Janie drown."
The drug came to fruition after extensive testing and research showed that administering a combination of Pfizer drugs caused marijuana-addicted teens to lose their urge to smoke. After being prodded by the ONDCP, Pfizer scientists added chemicals that intentionally cause patient paranoia of the elderly.
"We've had incredible success with Viagra, but also serious setbacks with Celebrex," Cox said. "We needed a hot new drug, something
sexy. By mixing the two drugs, we created Viabrex."
Like most prescription drugs, Viabrex has side effects, which include leaking, bleeding and mild erections in male patients.
Kip Horsely, Viabrex trial patient and ex-marijuana smoker, has taken the drug for two years now. "I don't know man, I liked smoking weed," Horsely said. "It took the edge off. Now I'm scared to visit Nana's house and I'm constantly trying to hide my boner."

Kansas State replaces 'Powercat' with tractor

In an unexpected fit of clarity, Kansas State University pulled the plug on its edgy Wildcat logo and gave students the opportunity to elect its replacement. In the recent vote,
"Thunderkitty." An anonymous Kansas State source said, "Following our football team's humiliating loss in Lawrence, we realized the Wildcat was no longer viable." He added that, in light of the athletic department's meteoric return to mediocrity, the "Powercat" logo was too aggressive and "indicative of success." Furthermore, the "Tractor" logo is much more representative of the campus' rural setting and benign nature.
'Mom March'in D.C.; Cursing now prohibited

Last Monday, the Senate approved the MAP (Mothers Against Profanity) Act, prohibiting the use of "potty language." A list of legal phrases has been published and provided to all local law enforcement agencies and public libraries. Acceptable phrases include: gaseous waste production facility i.e.: "Don't be such a gaseous waste production facility-hole!" and celibately challenged i.e.: "Maybe if you weren't so selenitely challenged you wouldn't have herpes." Other acceptable entries in this category include vir-

Used car dealer offers deals and plea for life
Used car dealer and local celebrity Bill "Big Deal" McNeel announced in a local TV commercial last night that "terrorists" were holding him hostage on the roof of his Ford and Mercury dealership and would execute him if he didn't sell 400 cars by Saturday. "Hurry, hurry, hurry." McNeel shouted, blindfolded but still wearing his trademark ten-gallon hat. "Save me! And save yourself with 97 Ford Explorers as low as $299 a month, and sedans starting at just $7,000. I need your help at McNeel Certified Used Ford, here on l-35 and Blueridge Parkway. Where the prices are as extreme as the terrorists."
Beatle to lull Super Bowl viewers to sleep
-Owen Morris
Touchdown! Place your bets and pop open a cold one. Paul McCartney has been playing eight days a week, preparing his vocals for Super Bowl Sunday. The beloved Beatle who seems to fill every generation gap, from young teens to their grandparents, will perform at the halftime show in Jacksonville, Fla., at Super Bowl XXXIX, Feb. 6. Positively petrified from last year's wardrobe mishap, Fox has taken a few precautions to ensure clean, viewer-friendly entertainment. Jeffrey Salem, Fox representative said, "Not only do we have the legendary Sir Paul performing, but we also have notoriously sensational singers like Kenny G and Clay Aiken, guaranteed to drive several senior citizens wild with their sweet melodic sounds."
Tri-Gamma's fat-ass shocks sorority sisters
— Lauren Debiak
Weeks after returning from Winter Break, Gamma Gamma Gamma sorority members remain "totally shocked" about Rachel LaGrosse's, Chicago junior's, recent.
explosive weight gain. "She was kinda big before,
but I mean, now she's like HUGE," a concerned Liz Tanner, Olathe senior, said. "Have you seen her thighs?" Guesstimates on the LaGrosse's plumbing range from "at least 15 pounds" to "like a gaillion." Becky Bichalot, sorority treasurer asked, "What did she get for Christmas? Gift certificates for fried chicken and pie?" The pork-up comes at an inopportune time for the sorority, which hosts the popular spring charity car wash "Tits for Tots" to raise money for local
children's hospitals.

Ashlee Simpson gets new'La La'inthroat
Ashlee Simpson, the vocally challenged and less attractive younger sibling of Jessica Simpson, has decided to undergo vocal cord replacement surgery following a string of embarrassing performances. Simpson's father said the surgery was a necessary fix after her Saturday Night Live lip sync fiasco and standing boo-vation at the Orange Bowl. He admitted it is becoming increasingly difficult for Ashlee to get by on her sister's fame. Simpson didn't really have a sane explanation for the surgery. "I lip sync and all those jealous bastards make fun of me. I sing, they boo," Simpson told MTV news. "No one appreciates how talented I am, Jessica, Jessica, Jessica ... Damn it, it's Ashlee's time to shine!"

'GameDay crew good interview
Saturday was a good day for this University Daily Kansan sports-writer.
It all started when I went to the 10 a.m. show as a reporter for the Kansan. The east lobby of Allen Fieldhouse was rocking, and the setting couldn't have gotten any better. The hour flew by, and things were winding down. Just as I was thinking it was time to leave, someone asked me, "Do you want to talk to Rece, Digger or Jav?"
Kansas destroyed Texas by 25 points, ESPN's "College GameDay" came to town and I was lucky enough to drink a beer with Rece Davis, Digger Phelps and Jy Billas.
"Are you kidding me?" Of course I wanted to talk to those guys.
As each one came off the set, they were smiling and laughing after finishing off a great segment. These guys were looking at 12 more hours of work ahead of them, but none of them minded taking time out of their day to talk to me.
In fact, they went out of their way to answer every question I had. Not a single cliché from any of them. The interviews were the best I've ever had.
Bilas told me that he had been recruited hard by Ted Owens and almost came to Kansas. He admitted that he loved Lawrence, and said it blew Connecticut out of the water.
Up next was Digger Phelps. He was more than willing to chat with me. I asked him why he so avidly picked Villanova against Kansas, and he found a way to incorporate the fact that he had defeated seven top-ranked teams while he coached at Notre Dame in his answer.
A little off topic, but I guess if I were as good a coach as he was, I would brag as well. He redeemed himself by saying that hearing the Rock Chalk Chant was a special feeling.
The best was saved for last. It was my turn to interview Rece Davis. He was a total class act. He has what is arguably the best job in the world, but he is so down to earth that you would never know it by talking to him.
He told me college football and basketball were his passions, and that Allen Fieldhouse represented everything that was right in sports.
It was past midnight, and I'd been working all day, so I went to Henry T's Bar & Grill to relax and get the drinks my dad and his friends had promised they would buy me. Literally three minutes after I showed up, Rece, Digger and Jay walked through the door.
“It's not like in the NBA, where it's all about getting the newest arena and the most corporate suites,” Davis said. “It's about providing an atmosphere for a game for a student body. That’s what makes this so special. You don't have many arenas that carry a history that make people feel special. That's what I think makes it so unique and is one of the main reasons we're here.”
I went home and wrote about the show, but I couldn't get my mind off talking with those guys. I told everyone I saw about it, some two or three times. I thought my day couldn't get any better.
The game rolled around, and the Jayhawks crushed the Longhorns. By the time I finished my game story and left the stadium, the "GameDay" set was being loaded up onto several ESPN trucks.
I watched from afar and started trying to figure out the odds of those three choosing the same bar as I did.

Kansas holding on
C17 123 C18
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After Saturday's 59-48 defeat at Nebraska, coach Bonnie Henrickson admitted that her team had regressed a half step from its position entering the game.
The next challenge, a 7 p.m. home game against Oklahoma tonight, will provide an opportunity to get back in step and regain ground in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas recovered from an 0-4 conference start by winning two consecutive games, at Colorado and vs. Missouri, before falling to Nebraska.
A victory against the Cornhuskers would have put the Jayhawks to sixth place in the conference, but the setback has left Kansas, 9-9 (2-5 Big 12), in eighth position. Instead of creating a sizable separation between it and the bottom third of the conference, Kansas again finds itself battling to establish a place in the middle.
With a victory against the Oklahoma, 11-7 (3-4), Kansas could take sole possession of seventh place in a conference that should place at least five teams in the NCAA Tournament. Last season, the Big 12 sent seven teams to the tournament and an additional two to the Women's NIT.
Oklahoma is coming off a 73-60 home defeat to No. 17 Iowa State and also needs a conference victory.
"I think it's a critical point of the season," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. "The season is a long way from over."
For both teams, the establishment of an inside-outside combination will be integral to success in tonight's matchup.
In the Nebraska game, junior forward Crystal Kemp was limited to 11 shots, 10 points, six rebounds and zero trips to the free-throw line. Inside scoring and dominance by Kemp has been the key for Kansas this season.

Oklahoma has defeated the Jayhawks in six-straight contests and will try to ride its high-low game to a seventh consecutive victory.
Kemp will be facing off with the Sooners' leading scorer, sophomore Leah Rush. The 6-foot-1 forward leads Oklahoma in scoring with 14.4 points per game and gives the Sooners a threat inside and at the free-throw line.

Crappies abundant in lake
BY CALEB REGAN
cregan@kansan.com
KANAN SPORTWRITER
For Cameron Manuel, a sophomore from Wichita, it's all about simplicity.
"The cool thing about fishing for crappie in the early spring is you don't need much." Manuel said. "You only need a rod, reel and a simple assortment of jigs, or even just minnows. Just walk up and down the dam until you find out where they're at."
Cheap, simple pleasures are key elements of student life, and fishing at Clinton Lake fits that bill. It would not be a stretch for a couple of friends in the residence halls to come up with a rod, a reel, a couple of crappie jigs and the $20 Kansas State Fishing License good for one year.
Before heading out, be aware of some new regulations at Clinton Lake as well as where to go to find the largest crappie populations. Crappie are small sunfish that outnumber other fish in Clinton Lake nearly 10 to one.
Recently, two new regulations have been passed related to crappie fishing at Clinton Lake. Effective Jan. 1, the number of crappie one could catch per day was reduced from 50 to 20. Also, a 10-inch minimum length was implemented.
District Fisheries Biologist Richard Sanders oversees four counties in Kansas, including Douglas. He explained the added regulations and how they affect the biology of the lake.
how they are used. Sanders said, to some extent, the regulations were the result of declining numbers and crappie growth in Clinton Lake.
Because crappie do heavily outnumber other sport fish in Clinton Lake, population isn't a huge problem, Sanders said.
"Its impact will only be felt when the crappie are extremely concentrated in the winter and then in the spring spawn." Sanders said. "On the whole, though, we've done studies and the average fisherman is harvesting no where close to 20 per day, let alone 50."
Sanders doesn't expect the new limit to affect most anglers.
Manuel agreed.

Jayhawk hoop dreams
BY KELLI ROBINETT krobinett@kansan.com KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Manager thinks job could lead to future coaching experience
Matt Wolff sits down on a leather couch in the Kansas men's basketball team's video room deep within Allen Fieldhouse. He is wearing a Nike Kansas sweater and wind pants and is taking a break from setting up for the Kansas home game against Missouri that will be taking place in a few hours.
An assistant coach walks by and reminds him that he needs to take equipment to the court. Wolff smiles and nods. He's used to this by now.
"I'm starting to put in 50 to 55 hours a week," he said. "It's hard work, and I put in a lot of long hours."
Wolff, a fifth-year senior from Herington, is a manager for the No. 3 Jayhawks. This is his second year on the job, and he's taking a similar path to fulfilling his dream of becoming a basketball coach that Bill Self took.
He doesn't mind the work because the job is an opportunity to work with Kansas basketball, he said.
In 1996 former Kansas coach Larry Brown told Self, when he worked a summer camp for him, that if he could
ever help him out to let him know. Self then called Brown and asked if he could work as his graduate assistant.
"We all know that story. The people you meet is one of the biggest things about this job," Wolff said. "I meet people from ESPN and other coaches. The networking is great for this job."
Wolff worked his way up the ladder to earn his manager status with the team. His high school basketball coach used to be head manager at Kansas and helped him get in contact with former coach Ben Miller. For his first three years of college he worked at summer camps and showed enough effort to be promoted to team manager.
Now Wolff does everything from helping out administrative assistant Brett Ballard and director of basketball operations Danny Manning in the office to washing the team's laundry and getting needed items out for the trainer at practice. During practice he sometimes helps pass and rebound for drills.
"Matt has a great understanding of basketball and helps out a lot in practice." Ballard said. "He knows how to guard and rebound, and it makes the drills we run that much better."
Wolff said the easiest part of his job was working games. His duties include giving players water and acting as gophers for the coaches, which means he is at the coaches' every request during games.
Road trips are the hardest part of the
"On the road we're in charge of all the equipment," Wolff said. "If we lose anything, we get in trouble."
job,he said.
It's those types of responsibilities that make the job worthwhile for him. He is on a first-name basis with all the coaches and players and is treated as an assistant coach.
"The head coach realizes how much the managers help, and he treats them with respect," Ballard said. "The seniors on this team really appreciate it too and understand they are part of the team."
Wolff sits behind the Kansas bench at every men's basketball game and basks in the luxury of traveling on the team's charter jet. His face is shown on television so often that he's practically a public figure in his hometown.
"I don't know about being the envy of the town," he laughed. "I know a lot of people tell my dad and mom that they saw their son on TV. Most people probably look at it as prestigious."
"If I go out with my girlfriend and her friends, I almost don't want to tell them what I do, because then I get the 50 questions," he said. "They'll start asking me,'what does J.R. Giddens eat for breakfast,' or 'what is Bill Self's house
He indicated that people in Lawrence also recognize him, but not to the same extent as in Herington. And here people don't really care about what he does for the team, he said. They want to find out all the inside information he has.

like?' Stuff like that, which has no relation to basketball."
Still, Wolff loves his job. He said it had made him more focused in his classes and given him real-life experience that he could never get anywhere else. Just watching Self run the team has taught him enough that he would feel comfortable coaching if he had to do it tomorrow, he said.
"Everything I know about college basketball, I know from him," Wolff said. "This job helps you learn the inner workings of a big-time sports environment. In Kansas, it doesn't get any bigger than Kansas basketball."

Illini dump Spartans with ease
It was a sight No. 1 Illinois forced Michigan State to get used to
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Dee Brown backpedalled with his right arm held high and wrist cocked after making a three-point shot.
Illinois (22- 0, 8-0 Big Ten) was expected to face a tough test against Michigan State (14- 4, 5-2) in an arena known to be raucous. But several Illini calmly made three-point shots and scored on low-post moves and mid-range jumpers in their finely tuned half-court offense.
On the other end of the court, the Illini wouldn't let Michigan State get much done because they seemed to have their bodies, arms or hands in every passing lane.
Deron Williams had 14 points and five assists for Illinois and James Augustine added 11 points.
Alan Anderson scored 14 points for the Spartans, who lost their 12th straight game against a ranked opponents, dating to the regional finals of the 2003 NCAA Tournament.
Michigan State's Paul Davis and Shannon Brown each scored 12 points while Maurice Ager and reserve Kelvin Torbert both had 10.
Illinois led by 17 points midway through the second half and were ahead 73-58 with 6:37 to go before the Spartans rallied to avoid an absolute rout.
They pulled within seven twice, but the second time, Brown ended their comeback hopes with a three-point play on a driving layup that left him crumpled up against the basket support with 1:56 left.
In the opening minutes, the game matched its billing with four ties and four lead changes. The Illini led by as many as 11 in the first half and were ahead 41-33 at halftime.
After Michigan State pulled within three early in the second half, Illinois quieted the crowd with another 10-0 run, the last eight points coming on Head's two 3-pointers and dunk.

Mizzou's intensity causes lead changes
Tigers played better than Jayhawks 'expected,' but Aaron Miles stepped up with three-pointers
BY KELLI ROBINET
krobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWATER
Monday's Kansas-Missouri Border Showdown was practically a seesaw, with as up and down as each team was.
The Jayhawks came out of the gate with a strong 9-2 run.
Each time it looked as though one team was about to deliver a knock-out blow and pull away, the other team came storming back.
Soon after they pushed their lead to 19-9. But just as quickly as they took the lead, the Tigers came back with long jump shots that tightened up the match. It's tiring just to think about.
"I didn't ever think we were safe," junior forward Christian Moody said. "A lot can happen in three minutes. It showed with how they were playing. They made a lot of big plays."
Missouri continued to build on its momentum and took the lead with less than five minutes remaining in the first half.
Senior forward Wayne Simien responded with a baseline hook shot to tie the game at 27-all, but then

three minutes."
Missouri blitzed Kansas.
Missouri senior guard Jason Conley made two free throws and a three-pointer to go up by five. The Tigers added four points and closed out the half with a 20-4 run that made the Allen Fieldhouse crowd fear Bill Self's first defeat to Missouri could be on the way.
As surprising as it might sound, Self said he did not chew out his team during the intermission.
"Missouri played great," Self said. "There was no doubt they were the better team in the first half."
"I thought that we played like a team that expected our opponents not to win," Self said about his team's first half performance. "We made every play we could make wrong, but I just told the guys this is Missouri and we needed to change our whole mindset and body language."
The Kansas players responded, and Simien urged the crowd to get behind the home team as he walked out on to the court. The army of towel-waving fans obliged and helped energize the lavhawks in the second half.
Kansas looked much improved early in the second half and cut into the Missouri lead.
After about six minutes the Jayhawks finally regained the lead, 48-47, on a driving lay-up by senior guard Keith Langford.
Missouri immediately responded with jumpers by junior guard Jimmy McKinney and sophomore guard Linas Kleiza that pushed the team's lead back to three, with 12 minutes remaining. It looked like this could go on forever.
Luckily for the Jayhawks, it didn't.
Aaron Miles seemed to take over the game and dished out back-to-back alleyoop passes during a 12-1 run that helped Kansas put Missouri away for good.
The Tigers were never quite able to tilt the seesaw back in their direction, allowing the Jayhawk seniors to maintain a perfect 4-0 record against Missouri at Allen Fieldhouse.

Creighton scoring runs defeat Wichita State
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OMAHA, Neb. — Johnny Mathies and Nate Funk scored 17 points each, lifting Creighton to a 73-69 victory against Wichita State last night, the 12th straight victory over the Shockers at home.
Wichita State (16-3, 9-2 Missouri Valley Conference) missed an opportunity to widen its lead over idle Southern Illinois (7-2 MVC) by letting a 10-point lead slip away in the second half.
Creighton (14-8, 6-5] almost let a nine-point lead evaporate in the final 1:46 after missing free throws. The Bluejays won despite shooting 41 percent and surrendering 24 points to Rob Kampman.
Sean Ogirri scored 11 points and keyed a last-ditch rally for Wichita State, which ended its five-game winning streak. Randy Burns added 10 points for the Shockers.
only to be hit by runs of 13-0 and 8-0 as Creighton went long to build a 54-45 lead. Five three-pointers, three by Jimmy Motz for his only points of the game, sparked the Bluejays.
Wichita State scored the first eight points of the second half to lead 40-30.
Creighton led 60-51 with 5:15 left and 67-58 with 1:46 left before missed free throws and 3-pointers by Kyle Wilson and Ogirri helped rally the Shockers within 68-64 with 46 seconds to play. Mathies sandwiched four free throws around a turnover to make it 72-64 with 27 seconds left, only to have
Ogirr score five straight points to close within three.
Pierce Hibma then hit a free throw with 10 seconds left to ice it.
The Shockers led 32-50 at halftime after each team made five three-pointers, including shot clock buzzer-beaters by Creighton's Tyler McKinney and Wichita State's Adam Liberty.
There were only five turnovers — one by Creighton — in the first 20 minutes. All told, the Bluejays had only three turnovers to Wichita State's eight.

Coach Francis breaks records, builds legacy
By MATT TORNOW
mtornow@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
As the longest-running, winningest coach ever, coach Mark Francis has introduced many firsts for the Kansas women's soccer team.
In his first season, he led the team to its best record. In 2001, he lead it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time. In 2003, Kansas defeated Nebraska for the first time in school history. That season ended with the team's first trip to the Sweet 16. This past season, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America named him Central Region Coach of the Year.
Before coming to Kansas, Francis was the coach of South Alabama University. He was hired in 1996 and finished his first season as coach with a record of 2-17. The following season he led South Alabama to an 18-3-1 record. The 16-win turnaround was the biggest in NCAA Division I soccer history.
Besides his coaching experience, Francis played professionally for 10 seasons with various
teams.
Francis' arrival in 1999 marked an arrival of Kansas soccer on the national scene. Since then, Francis' teams have recorded several team records, including consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2003 and 2004.
"It feels good," Francis said. "We have made progress and accomplished a lot in the past few seasons. It's exciting."
In his first season at Kansas, he led the women's team to its best record in the program's five-year history as a team. Francis showed the team and fans that he was at Kansas to win, tying the school record for wins at home. During the 2000 season, Francis took the Jayhawks to their first Big 12 tournament, in San Antonio.
In 2001, he lead his team to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. The squad broke more than 12 school records that season. He won his first regional coach of the year honor at the end of season.
After losing in the NCAA Tournament, Francis helped the
team start the 2002 season with a 6-1-1 record, the best start in school history.
In 2003, the Jayhawks ended the season 18-6-1, the best record in school history until this year. The team defeated Nebraska for the first time in school history. The Jayhawks also defeated Missouri twice in the same season — once in the regular season competition and once in the NCAA Tournament. The season also brought the team's first trip to the Sweet 16.
Kansas ranked among the top 10 in the national polls nine out of 11 weeks this past season. Francis led the Jayhawks to victory against a top-10 opponent, No. 7 Clemson, for the first time. At the end of the season, Francis gave credit to the seniors for a successful season.
Francis gained his 100th career victory on vs. Texas Tech on Oct. 1. Reaching that level was a prestigious moment for Francis.
He said this year's seniors left a considerable imprint in the future for Javhawk soccer.
"They have made the team one of the top-20 programs in the NCAA," Francis said," and that will be the legacy they leave here. When they came here four years ago, Kansas soccer was not
where it is at now, and a lot of that credit goes to those six players."
"At first I didn't even know it 'til a reporter told me, but it was a great milestone for me," Francis said. "What it means though is that I'm getting old, I've been doing this for a long time now. But I look forward to another 100 victories some day."
This season, the team won its first Big 12 championship but was defeated by Nebraska and forced to exit the NCAA Tournament in the second round.
"Next year we have a talented group coming back, young, but talented. I'm excited for next season. We hope to win it again, obviously." Francis said of the prospect of another Big 12 title. "You can't go backward as a team, you have to move forward. Our goal will be to win it again, and move forward."

Hockey officials face off as negotiation deadline nears
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The NHL and the players' association will hold their next round of labor talks today in yet another undisclosed location.
During the last few days, emails were traded and the latest negotiating session was arranged. It was not immediately clear whether the NHL would offer a new proposal when the sides get together. The league
had not presented one as of last night.
Today's meeting will include the first face-to-face talks since last Thursday, when the sides wrapped up a two-day meeting that started in Toronto.
If this round doesn't lead to serious negotiations, time will likely run out on the hockey season soon after.

The philosophical differences that existed between the league and the players on Sept. 16 — the first day of the lockout —
still exist four-and-a-half months later.
Through the 139th day of the lockout yesterday, 756 of the 1,230 regular-season games and this year's All-Star game had been lost.

Rowing team attracts variety of female athletes
Rowing Novice rowers face challenge learning sport
By KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
Some women grow up playing sports their entire lives but cannot always compete at the college level. Not being involved with a sport in college can sometimes be a big adjustment. For those students who miss their favorite sport, an opportunity exists to get back into athletics.
Because rowing is not a typical high school sport, a novice level is available.
"Rowing is good for people who said they missed being involved with athletics," assistant coach Jennifer Myers said.
is also an assistant this year.
Myers is in her fifth year coaching at Kansas. Sarah Smith
Coach Rob Catloth said he agreed with Myers.
"It's an opportunity for women who are good students to come out and work hard," he said.
Working hard is definitely a concern for novice-level rowers, because rowing is new to almost all of them.
Every year Myers, who heads up the novice team, has to teach the team the basics before they can get started on the water. Those athletes who competed in a sport their whole lives know how much dedication and time can go into a sport.
"Most athletes will play a sport for nine or 10 years," Catloth said. "Jen has to teach the sport in nine to 10 months. For some, it is like teaching a new language."
Literally, it can be a new language. For example, "way enough" means "stop" in rowing.
Other such terms are also expressed by Myers for the team to learn.
"We have to teach them from"

She ended up seeing a flyer for rowing in A l l e n
Field house while picking up her sports pass. She attended the informational
meeting and decided that rowing was for her.
"I love it. It's awesome," Fuhs said. "I'm having more fun with this sport than I did in high school with my other sports."
If not being involved in a sport still bothers an athlete a year later, it is not too late to go out for rowing. The novice level is open to sophomores as well.
For sophomore Dyana Lawrence, who had played soccer since she was six years old, the opportunity to be involved in a sport was too good to pass up.
"I just wanted to do something different," Lawrence said.
"It's a good way to meet other people, get in shape and travel to different areas."
Rowing is similar to some other sports in terms of teamwork; it is essential to the sport.
"It's very much a team effort," Lawrence said. "Being part of a team is something I've always loved. In soccer I had that, but now I can get that aspect in rowing."
The team has five this year.
Catloth feels teamwork is important in order to be successful. It may be a love for some of the girls, but working together has to happen.
"This is such a teamwork sport," he said. "Everything you do has to be together. As soon as
they buy into the teamwork aspect, they'll be more successful."
Last year, teamwork took the novice to a one-loss record. The team also took first at the South Central Regionals, which is the highest novice level.
Fuhs said her goal for the team was to make it to regionals, undefeated.
The upcoming spring season is the toughest, players said.
"The spring season is our main season," Lawrence said. "I've heard from the older girls that it can get pretty crazy and stressful at times."
But after all the conditioning and training is complete, the team is eager to see what will happen when they start to compete.
"This year's novice has all the potential," Myers said. "We just have to wait and see what they do with it."

Softball to start Friday
lavhawks have potential for strong pitching, solid defense
BY DREW DAISON

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After four months of conditioning, lifting and practicing, the KU softball team will finally start the season Friday.
Kansas will undergo a tough first weekend at the Arizona Pepsi Classic in Tucson, Ariz. Kansas will face the regional contender Oklahoma State and the nationally ranked University of Arizona.
"I think we need to play and find out where we are as a team," coach Tracy Bunge said.
The team appears confident going into the season under the steady leadership of junior cocaptains Destiny Frankenstein
and Serena Settlemier.
Four newcomers also look to make immediate contributions. Freshman Elle Potterfow will start behind the plate, while Christina Ross brings experience and skills to the bench.
Tucson, Ariz., natives Cyndi Duran and Jackie Vasquez bring added speed.
Though the Jayhawks continue to build with several impact players, the rest of the Big 12 Conference also has improved.
Texas returns Olympic pitcher Cat Osterman, and will make a run at a Big 12 title.
Baylor, Oklahoma and Texas A&M also retained most of their players and are favored to take home the conference title.
As long as the Jayhawks play
consistent softball, Bunge said he thought they could compete with every team they faced.
Another key to the Jayhawks' success will be how well the team endures the season.
"We need to stay healthy." Bunge said. "We are not a very deep team."
The offense remains an area of concern. Bunge said he expected to win games by one-run margins.
But a strong pitching core and solid defense will keep the Jayhawks in every game.
The first home game will be March 11 in the Holiday Inn/Jayhawk Classic at Arrocha Ballpark.

Brady 'heart and soul' of New England team
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The dimpled chin, the middling pedigree, the unspectacular stats, the aw-shucks good manners.
Don't let it all fool you: Tom Brady is a tenacious competitor.
"He may be a pretty boy," former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw said, "but I don't think there's any lack of fire there.
I don't think he would hesitate to take your face off if he thought it would help his team win.
"Montana was like that."
The comparison is being thrown around a lot this week as Brady prepares to lead the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles. Brady already has two MVP awards from the title game, matching Bart Starr and
Bradshaw and one behind the former 49ers quarterback he idolized while growing up in the San Francisco area.
Aikman was the MVP of the 1993 game and winner of three Super Bowls in a four-year span, another feat Brady could match with a victory Sunday. But unlike Aikman, Brady has done it with steady leadership more than flashy statistics.
"His name's been mentioned with some of the all-time greats, as it should be," said former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, who will broadcast the game with Bradshaw for FOX TV. "He's played great in the big ballgames, which I think is the way you measure it."
"He's the key," Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse said at Super Bowl media day on Tuesday.
'Wardrobe malfunction' never again
Watchers assured McCartney's clothes will stay on at half
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Oh, what the NFL would have given for a marching band last year instead of Janet Jackson.
Over the 38-year history of the Super Bowl, halftime has always been the best time for fans to take a brief break from the hoopla and recharge for the third and fourth quarters.
But last year, the ever-so-brief shot of jackson's bare breast turned halftime into must-see TV, entering the term "wardrobe malfunction" into the Super Bowl lexicon.
It altered the watercooler conversation about the event and made the powers in the NFL realize they had failed in their never-ending quest to micromanage things down to the millisecond.
“Disappointment and embarrassment” was how NFL
spokesman Brian McCarthy described the scene and its bombastic aftermath.
Jackson's impact on the Super Bowl will never be forgotten not in this day and age of instant news, instant analysis, instant overkill.
Her breast, after all, was much more than a breast, and we're not just talking about the silver sunburst nipple shield that was revealed when Justin Timberlake tore open her black leather top — accidentally, he said.
The Federal Communications Commission got involved. The debate over decency standards on TV long considered a dying issue by all but the most vigilant re-emerged. Radio personality Howard Stern, tired of having the FCC breathing down his neck, moved to the censor-free Sirius radio satellite network,
Federal
the same company that broadcasts each NFL game across the country each week.
"All these people were acting as though Western civilization had taken a major hit," said Syracuse University television expert Robert Thompson. "The whole thing was dripping in sanctimony, contradiction and hypocrisy."
Without a doubt, Thompson insists, viewers see more graphic close-ups of nude flesh on the average soap commercial. And nothing Jackson did during that halftime show would compare to the content of a weekly episode of, say, ABC's racy hit primetime soap opera, "Desperate Housewives."
Buoyed by public outrage, Congress held hearings and voted for a tenfold increase in fines for broadcast indecency. In a separate move, each of the 20 CBS-owned stations that aired
the Super Bowl were fined $27,500, and the $550,000 total was a record for such an incident. It was part of a greater effort by government to crack down on the incendy and it even led several skittish ABC affiliates to not air the World War II drama "Saving Private Ryan" because they worried the violence and profanity would lead to penalties.
The NFL, meanwhile, vowed to never have something like this happen again. Last year, the league farmed out production of the halftime show to MTV, a Viacom company related to CBS, which broadcast the game.
This year's entertainment will be provided by Paul McCartney, whose every word and move will be vetted and reviewed by the league.
"He'll keep his clothes on," Charles Coplin, the man the NFL put in charge of the halftime show, assured.
INTERVIEW: Running into broadcasters at bar led to good times
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
A couple minutes passed, and I decided I might as well go see if they remembered me. I walked up to their table and mustered up the confidence to say, "Hey, Jay, do you remember talking to me earlier?"
Drunken Kansas fan after drunken Kansas fan ran over to talk with them, and everyone in the bar treated them like royalty.
"Sure, sure," he replied. "How are you doing? What did you think of the game?"
I then shook hands with Davis and waved to Phelps, who were both scarfing down chips and salsa as if it was the only food they had eaten all day.
I asked how in the world they had ended up there, and they told me they wanted to
unwind after a long day, and remembered Henry T's because it was near their hotel.
At this point, my dad's friend came up and joked with Bilas, telling him that I really wanted to sit next to him because Bilas was the only person in the bar that had less hair than I did. Bilas started laughing and pointed at me. I figured if he could take a joke like that, I might as well pull up a chair.
Bilas, who sat on the right and sipped a Bud Light, was
For the next hour I got to hang out and drink with those guys, like I was one of their friends. We talked about everything from Kansas basketball to how long it would take Missouri coach Quin Snyder to lose his job. Bilas and Davis even asked me questions a few times.
the most popular one there. He was practically a walking, talking advertisement for the Jayhawks.
Davis sat in the middle. He told me about his college days at Alabama and how he had started off in the journalism world. We talked about the game and some of the crazy stuff he'd seen hosting "College GameDay."
Eventually I asked him who the nicest coach he'd ever met was. Some football names came up, and I asked what he thought about Urban Meier turning down the Notre Dame job for Florida. He said Florida was a better job. He pointed to Digger and said, "Even he'll tell you that."
Phelps, who was by far the least talkative of the three, leaned forward when he heard this and told us Notre Dame didn't need to change its sched.
ule or academics to be good. He continually referred to the Irish as "we" and obviously took great pride in his time there.
Last call came way too soon, and as we were kicked out of the bar, I didn't want to say goodbye to the trio. Once I accepted the fact that I had to let them go, I offered my thanks to each of them and told Davis that I looked forward to seeing him again when he could come here for a football game.
He shook my hand, wished me luck on my journalism career and told me he'd be looking for me when that day came.
Saturday was a very good day.

HOLDING: Jayhawks work to hold place in Big 12 standings
On the perimeter, either junior guard Erica Hallman or junior guard Kaylee Brown will need to hit some shots to keep the heat off Kemp, who is constantly double-teamed down low.
In the first half against Nebraska, Brown and Kemp played off each other and both posted solid halves.
"When we have Crystal down low and they're pinching her, things open up," Brown said.
Brown nailed three three-point shots and combined with Kemp to score 19 points.
Hallam will have to find her shot again to keep pace with Oklahoma's All-American candidate Dionnah Jackson.
The 5-foot-9 senior guard, who leads the Soomers in
rebounding, and is second in scoring, will try to build offense by penetration. Jackson leaves the long-range shooting duties to sophomore guard Erin Higgins, who hits more than 36 percent from behind the arc.
Tonight's game pits the Jayhawks against an opponent in a similar situation. Both teams need to win to hang with the middle of the Big 12 pack.
Despite the Jayhawks recent ups and downs, Henrickson said her team is just trying to maintain an even keel.
The game tips off at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
"For us, it's never as good as it seems or never as bad as it seems." Henrickson said

NCAA rules limit recruit perks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Dajleon Farr one of the top high school football players in the country, recently took recruiting trips to LSU, Miami, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Farr toured the campuses, checked out the facilities, met some of the players and coaches and got a 48-hour feel for life as a student-athlete at a football powerhouse.
But he didn't get to see his name in lights. As of last year, that's against the rules.
"I remember watching that in 'The Program,' and I was like, 'I can't wait until it's my turn to take my trip, and I'll see my name on the scoreboard and get to run out on the field,'" said Farr, a tight end from Houston's North Shore High School.
High-profile scandals involving football recruits at Colorado and Miami prompted the NCAA to take what it called emergency action last summer.
No longer are schools allowed to woo prespects with rock star treatment. Fancy hotels, ritz restaurants and private planes are now off-limits. So are personalized jerseys and the use of simulated game-day activities, like the ones Farr saw in "The Program," a 1993 film about a fictitious scandal-ridden college football team.
The NCAA also now requires schools to file a written recruiting policy with their conference or the NCAA.
NCAA vice president David Berst, who chaired the panel that came up with the reforms, said the goal was to change the philosophy of recruiting and stamp out the "culture of entitlement," as NCAA president Mylens Brand referred to it.
major, as foreign as that concept may be to some."
"I think it remains to be seen if it has any long-term benefit of reducing the celebrity of the recruiting weekends," Berst said. "You shouldn't win the recruiting war by a lobster tail. You should win by an academic
National signing day is today.
Most of the reforms have been well received by coaches, said Grant Teaff, American Football Coaches Association executive director.
"I haven't heard one word of complaint," he said. "Though we may get that after signing day."
He said many schools don't have the type of perks available to them — five-star hotels and restaurants, for example — that the NCAA has outlawed. But some do, and opposing coaches were happy to see the playing field leveled.
"I can't imagine offering our recruits five-star hotels or restaurants," new LSU coach Les Miles said. "If staying where they have a hot tub in the room is important to them, this isn't the place for them."
New Mississippi coach Ed Orgeron was recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach for Southern California. He said
the new restrictions did little to change how USC conducted recruiting visits, and that he doesn't anticipate them being a problem at Ole Miss.
Rugers coach Greg Schiano was disappointed that he had to stop taking recruits on the Scarlet Walk, following the path the Scarlet Knights take on game day into the their new stadium, where the prospects' names would be displayed on the scoreboard.
"I think that's big, a kid getting a feel for being a part of the program for 48 hours," said Schiano.
Teaff said the reform that prompted the most protest from coaches was prohibiting college's from using chartered or private planes to transport recruits. About 35 Division I-A schools don't have a commercial airport near by, Teaff said. It saves time for those schools to use charters, but as Teaff pointed out, "There's no private planes to get you there when you become a student."
LAKE: Fishing locations plentiful in Clinton Lake park areas
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"For me, I don't see why anyone would want to harvest 50 and then have to clean them on top of that," he said. "They are good to eat, but there's no need to keep 50."
Fish that are too small or are over the daily limit should be thrown back.
During the spring spawn — April to May — there are several areas of Clinton lake that are hotspots for crappie. Sanders advised that during the spawn crappie swim in shallow waters, making boats unnecessary.
First of all, along the east side of the lake is the dam. Sanders said it is among the best places during the spawn. Crappie are usually visible, if the water is clear, so walking along the dam should reveal a good spot.
Bloomington Park, which is along the south edge of Clinton
Lake, is another area with two spots that are among the best accessible by land.
The first hole is along a tree line in the east part of the park. To find the second hole, look for a fireplace in the western portion of the park. It's on a foundation of a house. Straight west, there's a curve in the park that indicates a popular crappie spot.
The final hole accessible by land can be reached from the north. Around the northwest corner of Clinton Lake is Woodridge Park. The hole is just west, where Dry Creek runs into Clinton Lake.
Also, Sanders said the most successful crappie anglers at Clinton Lake seem to use charteuse colored crappie jigs. Minnows will also work well during the spawn.

Philadelphia Eagles receiver Terrell Owens talks with reporters at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla., yesterday. Owens told the more than 1,000 reporters who gathered at the stadium for Media Day prior to Super Bowl XXXIX that he was ready to play.
Owens says he'll play in the Super Bowl
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Terrell Owens strolled onto the field, claiming a podium near the 25-yard line. It would have been more appropriate to put him right in the middle of the field.
T. O. was clearly in his comfort zone yesterday at the Super Bowl's media extravaganza the center of attention, the star of the show, the guy making all the news.
And say this about the Philadelphia Eagles' All-Pro receiver: He didn't leave anyone in suspense. Less than a minute after the tape recorders and cameras began rolling, Owens made his pronouncement.
"I will play on Sunday," he said.
Then, transforming the podium into a pulpit, Owens put on an hourlong performance that was part Ali, part Reverend Ike — and pure TO.
Adorned with diamonds in each ear and a matching bracelet, Owens let the conversation flow in all sorts of directions. At times, he sounded downright humble while crediting a strong religious faith for hastening the recovery of his right knee and ankle.
"God brought me here for a reason," he said.
But those were only momentary interludes. For the most part, Owens was at his bombastic best, saying he has no intention of being a decoy and embracing the controversy that seems to follow him around like a cornerback in a man-to-man defense. From Sharpies in the socks to towel-clad actresses in the locker room, it's all good in TO.'s world.
"I can't change who I am," he said. "I can't who I am."
The New England Patriots, with victories in two of the last three Super Bowls and on the cusp of becoming a full-fledged dynasty, had to settle for a supporting role on this day.
Owens was the star.
"It shows what kind of guy he is," said Troy Brown, the Patriots' receiver and nickel back. "He came to Philly because he wanted to play in this game. To see him out there running around, well, I've got to take my hat off to the guy."

Date set for vote on marriage ban

Students have mixed reactions to Legislature's decision
BY DANI LITT AND JASON SHAAD
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF, WRITERS
The Kansas House of Representatives voted 86-37 yesterday to let voters decide the fate of a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
The amendment, which will appear on ballots throughout the state on April 5, will limit the definition of marriage to a union between one man and one woman.
A majority vote is needed for the amendment to pass, said Jesse Borjon, communications director in the office of the secretary of state. If passed, the constitution will be amended when all votes have been certified.
The ACLU would support any case brought against the amendment, Minkin said.
Minkin said. The amendment could affect the interpretation of other legal rights for gays, said Ryan Kusmin, a Leawood sophomore who is gay.
votes have been. Phil Minkin, president of the Douglas County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said he was disappointed with the vote. If the amendment passed, it would deny homosexuals their civil rights, Minkin said.
"I've begun to accept that the American populace is not ready for gay marriage," Kusmin said. "But it makes

Student threatens athletics director
The KU Public Safety Office has questioned a 20-year-old KU student who sent a death threat to Lew Perkins, KU athletics director.
The threat was sent by e-mail, and another threat of bodily harm was sent to Charlotte Stuart Blubaugh, director of ticket operations, said Maj. Chris Keary, assistant chief of the KU Public Safety Office.

PERKINS
Keary said the student was upset that he didn't receive his student seating tickets to the KU men's basketball game during the last
student ticket pick-up.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, said that threatening e-mails directed at Perkins were a rarity. But the incident didn't appear to faze Perkins at all, Marchiony said.
"He. pretty much takes things in stride." Marchiont said.
Marchiony could not comment on the specific content of the e-mail, but said that after the e-mail was received, it began circulating through the proper channels.
The report is now being sent to the District Attorney's office for a determination of charges against the student, Kearv said.

New hall starts to take shape
Construction on pace for the building to open next fall

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The two wings of the Dennis E. Rieger Scholarship Hall are beginning to take form. A foundation and a rising structure sit in the middle of a muddy lot located on the 1300 block of Ohio Street.
The building, which will house 50 students, will be the sixth women's scholarship hall on campus. It is scheduled to open next fall.
The student government of the house is being constructed as well.
Becca Evanhoe, All Scholarship Hall Council president, said that 19 women were selected as part of the government for Rieger.
for Rieger. The remaining women who will live at Rieger have not been determined. The Department of Student Housing will select residents of Rieger based upon academic performance, financial need, references and essays.
"I've met each of the 19 women and they are a fantastic group." Evanhoe said. "Every person is dedicated to community living and will be a great addition to the scholarship hall community."
Denny said that she would work with other selected Rieger women to develop a hall constitution this semester.
Jennifer Denny, Plano, Texas, freshman, was selected as one of the women to live at Rieger next fall.
The constitution will describe the rules and expectations of living at Rieger.
"I think it will be a good experience to have diverse girls coming together from different areas and broadening our understanding of the University.
Jennifer Denny

The Department of Student Housing will incorporate history into the scholarship hall by including fixtures from Old Fraser Hall, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
Iron fencing that once lined the perimeter of the widow's walk on top of Old Fraser will enclose a courtyard. Wooden spindles that were a part of a grand staircase will also be incorporated.
Stoner said that some spindles from Old Fraser were composed of pine and others were composed of walnut.

Pope recovering in hospital
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"You usually need multiple antibiotics programs," he said. "The big danger is that if you are having trouble getting air into you, you can just tire out and you just can't keep up with it."
Pneumonia remained a potentially deadly threat, but the Holy See insisted there was "no cause for alarm." Roman Catholics from Poland to the Philippines prayed for his recovery.
In St. Peter's Square, in John Paul's native Poland and in many of the 129 countries the pope has visited over a 26-year papacy, the faithful paused to pray for the spiritual leader of the world's 1 billion Catholics.
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II's doctors were on guard for complications yesterday, a day after the frail, 84-year-old pontiff was hospitalized with the flu and breathing trouble.
American experts said a case like the pontiff could lead to life-threatening pneumonia. "That's the complication of influenza that most frequently, by far, carries people off," said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious diseases expert at Vanderbilt University.
The pope will be hospitalized for a few more days to afford "many means to stay ready for any complications," said Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, head of the Vatican's health care office
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Americans' "thoughts and prayers are with the Holy Father," and in Rome, chief rabbi Riccarco Di Segni offered prayers for a quick recovery.
Tests showed the pope's heart and respiration were normal, and he felt well enough to participate from his bed in a Mass celebrated by his secretary, said papal spokesman Joquin Navarro-Valls.
Pneumonia is "often very difficult to treat because you have introduced bacteria that don't belong in the lungs," said Dr. Michael Freedman, head of geriatrics at New York University Medical Center.

Tuition increase likely in the fall CLAS urges students to learn where money may be spent
BY NATE KARLIN
nkarlier@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences administration will conduct two more public meetings this month to discuss the differential tuition with University of Kansas students.
The CLAS administration is urging students to educate themselves on the differential tuition plan, said Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences. The administration has talked to more than 40 groups of students since last fall. Several more group discussions are planned through the end of the month, said Nancy Lott. assistant to the dean.
Wilcox said this "educational phase" would determine whether Chancellor Robert Hemenway would carry the plan to the Kansas Board of Regents in March.
Beginning next year, the 20-year differential tuition plan would increase from $10 to $30 per CLAS credit hour. Lott said. Students would pay the $30 for the last 18 years of the plan. The money would be used to
increase financial aid for CLAS students and to renovate and construct buildings, such as remodeling Wescoe Hall and building a new natural sciences building. The money would not be used for additional programs, Lott said.
Students will get the chance to vote on the tuition plan the last week in February. The College will send an e-mail to all CLAS students to vote in an online survey, Lott said. One of the questions will be phrased: "Do you agree with this proposal or not?" she said.
The administration would not give the proposal to the chancellor to carry to the Board of Regents if the survey did not receive positive support, Lott said.
Ruth Anne French, Partridge senior, joined the first committee last fall initially hoping to stop the differential tuition before it started. However, she realized the importance extra money would have for the University, she said.
She said it was never easy to raise tuition, but the money would go to building renovation

and construction, a necessity for the University.
French was part of the group of students and faculty members who decided to use the money for building instead of additional student programs.
But she urges the freshmen and sophomores to get involved the most to understand the tuition plan.
"I'm a senior, so how I feel about it should not be as strong as how they feel," she said.
Wes Smith, Lawrence junior,
said he wasn't familiar with the
differential tuition, but he was
concerned the administration wouldn't really listen to the students.
"I would wonder of the relevance of the meetings and what they would actually accomplish," he said.
Jaime Andrews, Derby freshman, said it was important to keep buildings up to date. She also said the meetings would be an important opportunity for the administration to explain the priorities of the tuition to students.
"I think it's important to include students in a decision like that because it affects us," Andrews said. She said it was important for students to know what the increase would go toward because some students pay for their own tuition.
Regardless of the students' opinions, Wilcox said he just wanted the students to understand the purpose of the differential tuition.
"Yes or no, neither decision is a good decision based on lack of education," Wilcox said. "This is set up as an option for students to shape their future."

last fall.
McFarland, who resigned in November and is no longer active with the group, fully repaid the money by midDecember, shortly after the week of finals, Josh Steward, College Republicans chairman, said.
"I know Justin really well, and I knew from the start that it wasn't to sabotage the group." Steward said. "He was being careless, but he didn't have bad intentions."
As a result of the situation, the group is restructuring its policies on money spending.
"Before there were basically no rules," Steward said. "We had a checking account. Beyond that, you needed a receipt for expenses, and that was it."
Steward said the group would now require prior approval for expenditures of more than $50.

learned not to be naive about these things because they can happen."

He said the treasurer would be responsible for all checks and that the group's executive board would vote on any reimbursements.
The group will also keep better records of checks and receipts. Steward said.
Most of these changes will be integrated into the group's bylaws. Steward said the group would pass a new constitution at its next meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 8 and would work on passing bylaws after that.
Reba Good, College Republicans public relations coordinator, said the new implementations would ensure that the group continued to grow from the experience.
Another improvement for executive board members would be the development of continuity folders. Good said.
These folders will include information on what operations worked and did not work in the past. They would also keep people from repeating the same mistakes or wasting time, Good said.
Good said she did not resent McFarland for his actions.

Gay marriage divides on religious lines Don't let U.S. remain backward Marriage shouldn't be codified
At a panel discussion on gay marriage in January of 2004, Fred Parella, associate professor of religious studies at Santa Clara University, said that he hoped to "suggest a theological approach that might open up the possibility for greater Christian acceptance of, and ecclesiastical approval of, same-sex unions."

a Catholic university came forward and commented on this issue meant that it had definitely been brought into the limelight. Obviously, the Catholic Church is feeling pressure from its followers to accept same-sex unions as Parela says
towers to accept same-sex unions, as Patricia says. Everyone with strong, religious morals appears to be worried that the meaning of marriage will be warped and twisted if same-sex unions are allowed.
This is not the case. Marriage, to such Christian denominations as Catholicism, has two components.
It is the celebration of the love between a man and a woman and the openness for children in their lives. Same-sex unions only have to be legal certificates stating that two people of the same gender can enjoy some of the legal benefits of a married couple.
For instance, not to use the age-old examples, but hospital visitation rites, as well as a will being left to a partner in event of death are both viable legal benefits. Nothing would change the nature of marriage, it would not even be called that. A civil union would do.
This has worked in other, more progressive countries such as France, which offers Civil Solidarity Pacts to homosexual citizens. According to statistics from MarriageLaws.com, in France, couples can form unions which include tax, inheritance and housing benefits.
The many thousands of improved this was a bright
In the future, the issue of same-sex unions will be as
idea on the part of the French government. France is known to be a Christian country and still has marriage in a religious sense, but its meaning is different from that of a civil union.
The issue of same-sex marriages has, in recent years, come to the forefront of the political arena. There are few people in American society who don't have an opinion on the issue.
The point is, the issue of gay marriage is everywhere. If the Catholic Church is commenting about it, it is definitely something that needs to be tackled.

GAY MARRIAGE
The Legislature in Kansas voted yesterday to enact a referendum on a gay-marriage ban. The referendum, which passed 88-37, will be left up to voters in Kansas to decide on April 5.
If voters approve, the gay-marriage ban will be written into the Kansas Constitution as an amendment.
e that these unions are unnatural and bians should not enjoy the privileges of couples married under the "man and woman" definition of marriage.
They are attempting to make links between the human rights issues of pre-1960s America and a question of immorality. The Web site gavdemorganics.org
estimates that 0.97 percent of the U.S. population classifies as a same-sex couple. The question about the legitimacy under the law remains.
Gays and lesbians are trying to recruit support by painting this issue to look like the civil rights battle of our time. On Web sites such as hatecrime.org, Coretta Scott King — Martin Luther King Jr's widow — makes mention of these supposed similarities in many of her speeches.
This minority should not be recognized under the law. We as citizens have no right to tell gays and lesbians how to live their life and with whom.
but we have every right to express our disapproval their lifestyle.
The expression of disapproval should be in the form of a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union between man and woman. In the US, 76.5 percent of the population identifies with the Christian religion according to adherents.com, which uses the Bible for the
source of its teachings. The Bible forbids the gay lifestyle in the book of Leviticus (18:22), where it states: "Do not lie with a man as a man lies with a woman; this is detestable."
Representing this in the law would not be an infringement on the separation of church and state, because the law should not read to ban the practice of homosexuality, rather it should define what will be acceptable unions.
Whether a constitutional amendment written in favor of either side of the controversy is necessary or not is up to the politicians and lawyers.
Many conservative Christian groups don't support the possibility of legal recognition of gay relationships from a religious standpoint; gay rights advocates view the issue as one the government should let stand. Either way, this is not the "civil rights battle" of our time, it is simply a legislative issue that must be addressed. If people feel so strongly about the issue, maybe they should use their clever writing skills to correspond with their legislators, and stop citing their causes on rainbow littered bumper stickers.

NUTRITION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS

The U.S. Departments of Health and Agriculture released new nutrition and fitness standards last month. Whether students will listen to the advice is another issue.

Beer was last served at the Union in 1997 when it was banned after an off-campus car accident involving two KU students.
When beer was sold in the Union, it was not allowed during bowling classes, said Mike Fine, recreation coordinator for the Union and bowling instructor. Fine has worked at the Union since 1984.
Beer is currently served at other Big 12 schools including Kansas State, Texas, Iowa State and the Colorado.
"I am sure that if this is passed, the policy of no beer during bowling classes would go back into effect," Fine said.

Survey attacks textbook prices
BERKELEY, Calif. — College textbook prices have increased at nearly four times the rate of inflation over the past 11 years, according to the second edition of a survey conducted by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Higher Education Project.
The 2005 edition of "Ripoff 101," conducted at 59 universities all over the country, demonstrates that exorbitant textbook prices contribute largely to the growing lack of affordable education.
— which result in increased text-book prices.
The survey found that the average student spends about $900 each year purchasing textbooks — a fifth of the tuition at a four-year public university.
"The bottom line is textbook prices are skyrocketing, and publishers are ripping off students with artificially inflated prices." said Fatima Mohsin, CalPIRG's University of California-Berkley chapter chair.
The survey criticized the practices of publishers — such as charging American students more than students in other countries for the same textbooks
CalPIRG accused publishers of purposely printing new textbook editions with few content changes, forcing students to fork out more money. Seventy-six percent of faculty surveyed said new additions were justified only half of the time they were published.
But publishers argue that new editions are necessary to meet the faculty demand for updated information.
New editions are published at an average of every three years, reducing the availability of used earlier editions. Once a new edition of a textbook is on the market, university bookstores will usually no longer buy back the older edition.
the equivalent of 38 U.S. dollars.
The survey fiercely addresses the disparity between textbook prices in the U.S., versus the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Africa. The Pearson Publishing Company, for example, charges an American student $100 for its 2004 edition calculus textbook while in the U.K. the same book is sold for
This year's report is a massive expansion of last year's first edition, which surveyed costs of popular textbooks at 10 West Coast public colleges and universities.
The results of the survey, released in January 2004, sparked both professors and lawmakers to take action against the problem.
The pressure from CalPIRG and professors caused the company to issue a line of reduced-cost textbooks.
In August 2004, the California State Legislature passed two bills urging the UC Board of Regents to collaborate with faculty to lower the cost of textbooks and create a textbook rental service for students.
CalPIRG intends to continue targeting publishers for specific books and urging them to print new editions of textbooks only when necessary.
"We especially need faculty to express their disgust," Allen said. "Despite the small changes that have been made, they're still ripping off students."

The state Senate voted 28-11 to send the amendment to the public on Jan. 13. This makes sure that there is no room for interpretation by anyone other than the state Supreme Court, said Rachelle Colombo, communications director for Speaker of
the House Doug Mavs.
Brian Isham, a Wichita senior who is gay, said he expected the amendment would pass. Same-sex marriages are already not allowed, but this wasn't reassuring enough to many people, Isham said.
"I think that in Kansas a lot of people would rather see it in writing." Isham said.
The amendment should open many people's eyes who did not have an opinion on the issue before, Isham said. While the amendment would likely pass, the state would only be preventing part of the union between same-sex couples, Isham said.
"They can only take away the marriage license," Isham said. "If two people fall in love, they're still going to spend their lives together."

Bush focuses on Social Security
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush challenged a hesitant Congress yesterday to take political risks to make Social Security "permanently sound," saying the nation's costliest social program was headed for bankruptcy unless changed. Bush's plan would cut guaranteed retirement benefits for younger Americans, but would not affect checks for people now 55 and older.

Bush, in his State of the Union address, pledged to work with Congress "to find the most effective combination of reforms."
President George W. Bush smiles as he is welcomed to the House Chamber to deliver his annual State of the Union speech before a joint session of Congress, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, yesterday. He is applauded at rear by Vice President Dick Cheney, left, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Dennis Hastert, R-ill.
Democrats said that Bush's proposal to divert Social Security revenues into private accounts was dangerous and that there were better ways to fix the 70-year-old program.
A variety of solutions have been proposed, such as limiting benefits for wealthy retirees, raising the retirement age, indexing benefits to prices rather than wages, discouraging early collection of benefits and changing the

ways_benefits are calculated,
Bush said.
Bush's speech was the first State of the Union address since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that focused most heavily on domestic issues. He offered no hint of a timetable for a troop withdrawal from Iraq.
Bush promised to push forward for Mideast peace,including $350 million in aid to the Palestinians.
with the United States spending more than $1 billion a week in Iraq, Bush urged Congress to support his request for an additional $80 billion. He said his administration "will continue to build the coalitions that will defeat the dangers of our time."

Stewart to host an 'Apprentice' spin-off
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The masterminds behind "The Apprentice" — Donald Trump and Mark Burnett — and NBC announced yesterday that Stewart will host "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart."
"Mark and I have always admired her," Trump said. "She's a very brave woman. She's built a multimillion-dollar empire. It was an easy decision. We think this will be an absolutely tremendous success."
---
Burnett didn't reveal many details about the new version of the business-themed reality show, such as whether there will be a boardroom or when the show would begin taping.
But Stewart's take on "Apprentice" should be distinct,
Burnett said. "Martha has her own empire, which has a different look and feel," he said.
Her show will film in either New York or Connecticut.
STEWART
where the Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. empire is located. Sixteen to 18 contestants will vie for a one-year job with her company and $250,000 salary.
Casting has already begun. Producers currently seeking applicants for the fourth edition of Trump's "Apprentice" will also search for Martha
wannabes. And a graphic with Stewart's face touting "Apply now to be Martha Stewart's Apprentice!" has already sprung up on NBC's Web site.
Since Stewart is not allowed to conduct business while in prison, Burnett made it clear his deal with Stewart was completed before the domestic mogul entered prison — although he's made monthly visits to her.
She was convicted last year of lying about why she unloaded shares of ImClone Systems Inc. stock in 2001, just before the price plunged. Stewart began serving her five-month sentence in October, and is scheduled for release in early March from a prison in Alderson, W.Va.
Yesterday's announcement
means Stewart will have two shows. On Dec. 8 it was announced that she will revive her daily homemaking show next September, this time with a live audience, celebrity guests and with Burnet's help.
Filming on her "Apprentice" could begin as early as March when Stewart goes from prison to house arrest. Under her probation, she'll be allowed to work outside of her home, which Burnett said may include shooting the show.
Other moguls have attempted to walk in Trump's reality TV show shoes — such as Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Virgin owner Richard Branson, who starred in "Apprentice"-like shows. But both garnered low ratings.

Egypt coercive key in Middle East peace talks Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be reviewed at summit
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt invited the leaders of Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan yesterday to a summit next week. The move indicates that a much-anticipated breakthrough in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is in the near future.
Word of the summit came as Damascus-based leaders of the Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Islamic jihad met Egyptian intelligence officials in Cairo. It is seen as a key step toward securing a truce from Palestinian factions.
The summit will be held Tuesday in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik. It will focus on a possible Palestinian prisoner release, the fate of Palestinian fugitives, and a West Bank troop redeployment.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and King Abdullah of Jordan have all accepted invitations to attend from summit host, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
The White House welcomed the development. "That's an encouraging step that's being taken to build upon the recent
discussions between the Israelis and the Palestinians," White House press secretary Scott McChellan said. "There have been a number of encouraging steps from both parties that show that they want to seize this opportunity before us to move forward."
Israeli television reported the summit would likely result in the return of Egyptian and Jordanian ambassadors to Israel. Egypt withdrew its envoy after the latest Palestinian uprising began in September 2000. The violence also caused Jordan to delay posting a new ambassador. Egyptian and Jordanian officials declined to confirm the reports.
The statement also said Mubarak, who had refused to meet with Sharon since he became prime minister in 2001, would discuss with the Israeli premier ways "to push peace on the Syrian track."
The Egyptian president's office released a statement saying the summit was arranged in view of "the critical state that the peace process in the Middle East is going through" and was designed to "realize tangible progress on the Palestinian track."
Damascus it said it wants to resume peace talks with Israel,
"T there have been a number of

Scott McClellan White House press secretary
which collapsed in 2000. But Israel said Syria must first clamp down on Damascus-based Palestinian militant groups responsible for killing hundreds of Israeliis in suicide bombings.
The Arab state was the first to sign a peace treaty with Israel and has been trying for months to coax Palestinian militant factions to stop attacks against Israeli. Egypt is also expected to play a key role in developing Palestinian security services in neighboring Gaza following any planned Israeli withdrawal.
The announcement of the summit comes amid hopes of an imminent breakthrough in efforts to secure a cease-fire from

Palestinian militants.
Militant leaders say any final agreement depends on Israel's willingness to make crucial concessions, including ending targeted killings of Palestinians leaders and releasing Palestinian prisoners.
Israel resisted to halt attacks on Palestinian militants but its officials have said they will "respond to quiet with quiet."

Mushaal told the Arab TV station Al-Jazeera that a Palestinian

Abu Rob, who killed three Israelis and two alleged Palestinian informers in the past four years of fighting, said he was tired of life on the run and that he hoped to compete in Palestinian parliamentary elections in July.
cease-fire was not "dependent on a summit," but on Israeli willingness to offer concessions.
"The main issue is an Israeli regression on its position, which means an Israeli commitment to the conditions put forth by the resistance," Mashaal said.
"Without this commitment, if there are many summits, the situation won't change."
Despite the recent momentum, concerns persist about the ability of Palestinian security forces to restrain militant groups.
Nepalese king seizes country's control from government
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KATMANDU, Nepal — The gates to the party headquarters are locked, the offices empty. But around back, a party official gestures to a group of visitors to follow him, and drives away on his motorcycle. He stops along a busy road, hoping no one will notice him amid the clamor of Katmandu's morning traffic.
Shovakar Parajuli risked arrest for his quick trip yesterday to the office of the Nepali Congress party, the country's main opposition group, slipping in for a few sheets of party stationery.
He'd been on the run since the day before, when King
Gyanendra declared a state of emergency and ousted the government, saying it had failed to bring Nepal's growing Maoist revolt under control. Parajuli now avoids his house and office, stays with friends and moves around the city constantly, dodging police sweeps.
Technically, political activity remains legal in Nepal. But the draconian legal measures ordered by the king and the swift deployment of security forces,
This is what passes for political activity now in Nepal, where all the phones lines are cut, soldiers oversee newspaper newsrooms and most political activists are either in jail or have gone underground.
has frozen the political scene. The measures include suspending constitutional provisions protecting freedom of speech and public assembly, and outlawing preventive detention.
in neighboring India, already dealing with a decades-long dispute with Pakistan, the concerns go far beyond tourism.
The turmoil threatens the stability of a nation where some of the world's worst poverty exists alongside some of its most spectacular scenery. The Arkansas-sized country of 25 million people is home to eight of the planet's 14 highest peaks, including Mt. Everest, and is a premier destination for trekkers and mountaineers.
Yesterday, it was hard to find a politician operating openly: Ousted Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba was in his house under armed guard and the offices of the Nepali Congress were locked down. At the headquarters of the United Marxist Leninist Communist Party, a caretaker said the building was empty and at the home of the

party's leader, Madap Kumar, at least a half-dozen soldiers were making sure no one visited him.
Gyanendra swore in a 10-member cabinet on Wednesday, with himself as its head. Later, officials said the new government would try to bring the rebels back to the peace table.
The rebels, who say they are inspired by Mao Zedong, the Chinese communist founding father, control much of rural Nepal. They broke off peace talks in August 2003 and balk at invitations from Deuba's now-ousted government to restart talks, insisting real authority remained in the king's hands.
Most of the new ministers are fierce supporters of the king, who came to power in 2001 after his brother, King Birendra, was gunned down in a palace massacre apparently committed by Birendra's son, the crown prince, who also died.
This country has become increasingly cynical about both politics and royalty since a popular "People's Movement" revolt forced the absolute monarchy to allow multiparty democracy in 1990. While opinion polls indicate the country supports the idea of democracy, inter-party squabbling and government inability to deal with the rebellion means few parties get widespread support.

iPod faces its first threat from music rental service
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Is music something you own or something you rent?
How music fans answer that question in coming months will help determine the viability of a new state of online music services that offer to fill portable music players with an unlimited number of songs for a monthly fee.
While the music subscription approach has grown in recent years, far more music fans have opted to buy songs by the track, a business model popularized by Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes Music Store and its hugely successful iPod portable player.
But the release last year of new copy-protection software from Microsoft Corp. may begin to change that. The software frees subscribers to move their rented tracks from their computers to certain portable music players.
The system works by essentially putting a timer on the tracks loaded on the player. Every time the user connects the player to the PC and the music service, the player automatically checks whether the user's subscription is still in effect. Songs stop playing if the subscription has lapsed.
If the user doesn't regularly synch up the player with the service, the songs go dead as well.
"This is potentially the first serious challenge that the iPod is going to face," said Phil Leigh, president of Tampa, Fla.-based Inside Digital Media. "What these devices are going to be able to do is attack iPod where it's weak."
Several online music purveys see portability as selling point that can lure consumers to their subscription services. Forrester Research projects music subscription revenues will more than double this year to $240 million, largely because of portability.
RealNetworks, MusicNow
"This is potentially the first
serious challenge that the iPod is going to face."
Phil Leigh
President of Inside Digital Media
and MusicNet, which distributes its service through brands like America Online and Cdigix, all have plans to launch portable subscription services this year or early 2006 at the latest.
Napster LLC and F.Y.E., another MusicNet distributor, began offering portable subscriptions late last year through the Windows Media Player software, code named Janus.
Napster plans to turn up the heat on Apple with a $30 million advertising campaign debuting during Sunday's Super Bowl to promote a relaunch of its portable subscription service, dubbed Napter To Go.
"This is really the first subscription service supporting Janus that's going out in a big way," said Josh Bernoff, an analyst with Forrester Research. "Napster is charging a lot harder than the rest of them."
Napster's service is $14.95 a month — about $5 more than a non-portable subscription. FYE.e's service is also $14.95.
Chris Gorog, Napster's chairman and chief executive, said the new service should boost its subscriber numbers, which stood at 270,000 as of December.
Marketing will be crucial to persuading consumers accustomed to buying CDs or owning digital music tracks purchased online to switch to paying a monthly fee for music, like they might do for cable television programming.
"There's going to have to be
some education in the marketplace," said Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director for Jupiter Research in New York. "There's some stuff that consumers watch over the air and on cable but don't actually own and some DVDs consumers actually go out and buy. There's going to be some coexistence here as well."
Alan McGlade, president and chief executive of MusicNet, said consumers will see the value in being able to rent music.
"When you think about it, you can log on Tuesday when the new records are in the stores and download whatever new albums are out," McGlade said. "If you have to pay a la carte, then you have to make a buying decision."
Not everyone is convinced.
Apple has said it has no plans to offer a music subscription service. The iPod players don't support the Janus format.
Microsoft's own music service, MSN Music, has yet to offer any services beyond pay-per-track downloads.
Doubts also linger over whether consumers will be happy with the crop of portable music players that can support portable subscription services.
So far only a handful of players — including ones from Creative, Dell and iRiver — are on the market, although analysts say their number should increase this year.
And then there's the iPod factor.
"The problem is that in the current state of the market, vendors at best have been offering technical equivalents of the iPod, and the iPod itself has transcended from a consumer electronics item to cultural icon," Gartenberg said.
Portable music subscriptions may be a milestone, Gartenberg said, "but it's not something that is likely to displace Apple in the short-term."

Football not getting top recruits
Now that the college football national letter of intent day has passed, Kansas football fans, and coaches for that matter, can breathe a collective sigh of relief after watching a handful of recruits rescind their offers from KU to attend other schools. The chess game that is college football recruiting is done, at least for now.
Before you start planning the parade down Massachusetts Street for a Big 12 Conference title next year in football, let's take a deeper look into the recruiting Mark Mangino and his coaches did for the upcoming season. According to rivals.com, the most recent Jayhawk recruiting class ranks 48th in the nation behind ACC powerhouses Duke and North Carolina. There's one serious problem with that statement. Duke and North Carolina are basketball powerhouses whose football teams have stunk in recent years, but actually have respectable football histories.
North Carolina is 37th on the list and Duke is three ahead of Kansas at the 45th spot. These teams managed to out recruit a Kansas team on the rise, a team with a coach who's supposed to take them to the next level.
Beating its two biggest rivals in the same year is a great achievement for the Jayhawks. Nearly upsetting a highly ranked Texas team and barely losing at Nebraska were much better results than in years past, but Kansas didn't win those games. Almost and close don't add up in the win column. They should have beaten Texas and had a leitimate shot against Nebraska.
Until Kansas starts winning matchups against teams that have routinely embarrassed them in the past, it will not get the quality recruits as, say, Oklahoma and Nebraska, 2nd and 3rd respectively, or even a Kansas State, 30th on the rivals.com list.
Kansas will not start ranking higher on national recruiting lists until it starts winning games, seriously winning games. Seasons at 4-7 won't land the recruits. If KU starts to win closer to the double-digit range and contend for Big 12 North titles, then it can start ogling some of those big time recruits.
However, Mangino and his staff have to start somewhere. What they have done well and improved upon each year, is recruiting within the state of Kansas. KU secured commitments from four of the top six high school seniors from the "Postseason Kansas Top 12" list posted by rivals.com including the number one player on that list, Pittsburg quarterback Kerry Meier.
Kansas also did a nice job of branching out of the Sunflower State lines by nearly landing a visit from two-sport star, Alief, Texas, tight end Martellus Bennett. Bennett, who would have been a scholarship player on the football team and a possible walk-on for the basketball team, would have been a banner signing for the university. He's ranked as the number one tight end and the eighth overall high school senior in the nation. He gave KU serious consideration, but noted to sign with Texas A&M.
Kansas also secured the commitment of Garden City Community College defensive tackle, Rodney Allen, who was being wooed by Big 12 foes Kansas State, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State. Allen, listed as a four-star player by rivals.com, is the highest rated recruit signed by KU this off-season.
Allen is a nice signing, but KU missed on eight of the top 25 junior college players in the country. They played in the state of Kansas, but all signed to play at other universities.
Now that KU has everyone signed up, it's time to start coaching them up so those close and "almost" games can become victories.

With leading scorer on bench, Oklahoma lets Kansas stay close, ends first half with big run
BY BJ RAINS
brains@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
A game that was close for the first 15 minutes became a rout, as the Oklahoma women's basketball team used a 17-0 run to pull away from the Jayhawks en route to a 65-49 victory last night in Allen Fieldhouse.
"We were not very efficient on offense," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We lost by 20 and took three more shots than them.
"That what's most disappointing about tonight's game."
The teams traded baskets during the first 15 minutes, and had seven lead changes before the Sooners pulled away for good. The momentum turned towards the Sooners when sophomore guard Erin Higgins hit a three-point shot to give Oklahoma a two-point lead. Kansas freshman forward Taylor McIntosh committed a foul on the play, giving the Sooners another possession. Oklahoma senior guard Dionnah Jackson hit a three-point shot of her own on the ensuing possession.
"We needed one to go in," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. "It's one of those things, where you see one go in, and then your confidence goes up."
Just like that, a one-point Jayhawk lead turned into a five-point deficit. The Sooners used the momentum to end the half on a 15-0 run.
"How it happened is what's frustrating," said Henrickson. "They were scoring on layups and uncontested threes."
The Tajahwaks shot two for 14 from behind the three-point line and didn't
The Jayhawks went on a 9-0 run themselves, cutting the lead to nine midway through the second half, before Oklahoma's leading scorer, sophomore forward Leah Rush, hit consecutive jumpers to put the Sooners back in front by 13.
hit their first three-point shot until sophomore guard Sharita Smith connected on a three-pointer right in front of the Kansas Bench with 11:45 left to play.
Rush, who is averaging 14.4 points per game, was held scoreless in the first half. She played only seven minutes before picking up her second foul with more than 12 minutes to play, but she led the Oklahoma attack in the second half, scoring 15 points and finishing above her average.
"In the second half, Rush was the difference." Henrickson said.
Oklahoma, which entered the game fourth in the nation in three point percentage defense, held Kansas to just 14.3 percent from behind the three point line. Kansas shot just more than 36 percent from the field.
Kansas' second leading scorer, junior guard Erica Hallman, was held scoreless until the 14:36 mark of the second half and finished with six points. Pressure defense by Jackson was the kev to Hallman's struggles. Coale said.
Oklahoma also had the advantage on the boards, out rebounding Kansas 35-24. Oklahoma had as many offensive rebounds as Kansas did defensive rebounds.
"I thought Taylor did a great job on the glass," Henrickson said. "Unfortunately, she was the only one we had on the offensive glass in the first half."
"People forget that the heart of Dionnah Jackson's game is being a defensive stopper," Coale said. "Hallman is a heck of a player and can really score. Dionnah really frustrated her tonight. She went three for 14 from the field, and I think two of those were while Dionnah was on the bench."
Despite the stats, McIntosh's rebounding was one of Kansas' only bright spots on the boards, Henrickson said.

Coach disappointed by profanities during MU game
It was practically a perfect weekend for Kansas basketball. Coach Bill Self even said that it couldn't have been scripted much better.
But one thing bothered Self about Monday's game against Missouri. He said he was disappointed that the student section chanted profanities at their border rival.
"That is totally uncalled for," Self said.
During the game, he said he was

unaware that students were yelling the infamous "Muck Fizzou" chant (although a couple letters were altered). But when he was informed of the behavior yesterday, Self said he would have tried to put a stop to it.
"I would have done something to get the word to the students to cut it out," Self said.
T-shirts bearing the "Muck Fizzou" slogan are one thing. Signs and posters are a part of college basketball. But at a tradition-rich program like Kansas, people expect students to exhibit the same class the players do on the court.

Players ask commissioner to rejoin the lockout talks
NEW YORK — The NHL's latest salary-cap proposal to end the season-long lockout was rejected yesterday by the players' union, which came back with its own idea: Bring commissioner Gary Bettman to the bargaining table.
Bettman accepted. He is set to rejoin the talks Thursday for the first time since Dec. 14.
He'll meet with union head Bob Goodenow.
The sides met for four hours in Newark, N.J. This is the fifth time in two weeks they've talked.
In turning down the league's offer, the union reiterated it won't accept a salary cap as a solution.
The NHL proposed a six-year deal that contained a cap that would force teams to spend at least $32 million on player costs but no more than $42 million — including benefits. Both figures would be adjusted each year to reflect changes in league revenues.
The lockout reached its 140th day Wednesday.
Bettman has promised the 30 NHL teams that he will get them cost certainty, a direct link between league revenues and players costs.
This offer would give the players between 53 and 55 percent of league revenues.
If a deal is reached in time for hockey to be played this year, the NHL proposes that the players' association will still receive 53 percent of revenues generated from a full playoff schedule.
Also included in the offer was a profit-sharing plan that would allow the players' association to evenly split revenues over a negotiated level with the league.

Rallies take game down to the wire
Free throws, strong defense earns close victory for Sigma Chi
BY MICHAEL PHILIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
Editor's note: Each week. The University Daily Kansan will cover an intramural contest. This week, in basketball, Sigma Chi took on Phi Gamma Delta, nicknamed Fijif, in the first of three games of men's block play.
Sigma Chi sprinted to an eight-point halftime lead, then relied on defense to hold off a late rally by Fiji in a 39-36 victory Tuesday. It was the opening
game of the intramural basketball season for both teams. The game was held Tuesday night at 9 p.m.at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
The teams drained the first three shots of the game, only to be followed by a five-minute scoring slump. Sigma Chi then stopped the drought by playing pressure defense that stifled Fiji's struggling offense.
The Sigs forced turnovers and capitalized on them, putting up an 11-2 run right before halftime. Fiji began sending the ball inside to start the second half. By outmuscleing the defense, they triggered a seven-point run.
With eight minutes left in the game, Sigma Chi's Eric Adams, Tulsa, Okla., junior, broke the rally by delivering a behind-the-back pass, on a breakaway
for a wide open shot. Fiji regrouped after the play and chipped away its deficit. With 5:22 remining in the game, the score stood 35-33. Both teams tightened their defenses, as the game endured nearly five minutes of scoreless play.
With 39 seconds remaining, Sigma Chi's John Patzkowsky nailed a right-handed hook shot from the corner, ultimately giving them the victory.
"Time was winding down, and we needed some points." Patzkowsky, Enid. Okla.. senior. said.
The Sigma Chi men shot 41 percent from the field, but their greatest advantage was at the free-throw line. They shot 50 percent from the line, while Fiji struggled at 17 percent. Two of those free-throws came in the final seconds, when it was still a one-possession game.
Both teams also would have been better off looking inside. The two teams shot a combined four-of-22 from behind the arc.
Sigma Chi won the game on the defensive end. They forced turnovers and kept open shots to a minimum for most of the game. Even with a victory, Adams said his team looked rusty at times. But it was only the first game, he said.
"We'll come back strong and try to win some more," he said.
The game was officiated by Zach Houk, Des Moines, Iowa, sophomore, and Andy Hicks. Neodesh junior.
Intramural block play will continue through next week, with each team playing three games.

Team bound for the Super Bowl has room for one more
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Patriots only have 52 players on the active roster — one fewer than the maximum allowed by the NFL. That means they could sign anybody they want off the street as long as he didn't finish the season under contract with another team
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The New England Patriots are sitting on the ultimate Super Bowl souvenir: A chance to be on the roster for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The 53rd man wouldn't have any chance of playing. NFL teams only activate 45 players from the roster each Sunday and it's more than extremely unlikely that the person would make that cut.
Always tightlipped about anything involving his roster — or pretty much anything else — coach Bill Belichick wouldn't confirm that they would face the Eagles on Sunday with an open spot.
But No. 53 would get a $68,000 winner's share if the Patriots win and a loser's share of $36,500 if they lose. And then there's the ring the winners pass out — a bauble that can be worth $15,000 or more.
"We're at 52. We could add another player; we might not." Belichick said at Tuesday's media day. "I don't think that we would bring in anybody from the outside at this point."
Injuries — especially in the secondary, where they've lost both starting cornerbacks — have forced the Patriots to shuffle their roster all season. When cornerback Ty Law went on injured reserve, they signed former Steelers kick returner Hank Potet to replace him even though he had been out of football most of the season finishing his college degree.
After the AFC title game against
Pittsburgh, Belichick inexplicably cut Antwan Harris, who signed as an extra defensive back just 11 days earlier. That opened up a roster spot and left Harris on the figurative sidelines instead of the literal ones.
That's cold.
So the spot could probably best be used on Harris, who was a hero of the Patriots' first Super Bowl run.
Asked what advice he would give to someone sitting around, making plans to watch the game on television but really hoping to play in it, Poteat said, "Never give up. Always have faith."
Believe in yourself. Don't worry about what anyone else says about you."
Poteat could wind up covering Philadelphia tight end Jeff Thomason, who was out of football for two years and working in construction before the Eagles signed him to replace Chad Lewis for the Super Bowl.
"Right now, I'm living the dream," Thomason said.
He only made one mistake: If he held out,he might have gotten a better offer from the Patriots.
"Maybe I will," he said, five days before the game. "We'll see."

Sprinter runs to fill team's void

When Jordan left the Bulls.
When Montana left the 49ers.
When Bookman left the Jayhawks.

Teams often struggle to find replacements for superstar athletes who made such an impact that it's difficult to picture the team without them.
Leo Bookman, right, Dickinson, Texas, senior, led the men's 100-meter dash against Team Nike runner Rae Edwards during the Kansas Relays last spring. Bookman now runs for Team Nike. The track team is looking for Aaron Thomson, Lenexa junior, to step up and fill the hole left by Bookman.
Leo Bookman brought home so many records for the Jayhawks you would think he was shopping at a vintage music store. He owns the Kansas records for the 60-meter and 200-meter dashes and was three runners away from making the Olympic team. Bookman, the Jayhawk of the year in 2004, now runs for Team Nike, which competes at many of the same meets as the Jayhawks.
Sprinter Aaron Thompson specializes in the 60-meter dash and the 60-meter hurdles. As a junior, he possesses more experience and places in the top 10 more than any other sprinter/hurdler on the team. He has missed the top 10 once.
These aren't just big shoes to fill. These are clown shoes. As the Jayhawks begin a new era, the question of who will replace Bookman looms large. Someone must step up for the team to have success.
He owns the third-fastest times in KU history in both events, running the 60-meter dash in 6.81 seconds and the 60-meter hurdles in 8.01 seconds. He places fifth in the Big 12 Conference in both categories.
He cleaned up at the KU/KSU/MU Triangular Jan. 22, winning both of his events. At the Arkansas Invitational, he finished second. Behind Bookman, of course.
"For me, it's just inspiring because I got to practice with him, and I got to see what it takes to get there," Thompson said.
He said competing against Bookman while wearing different jerseys doesn't change his perspective of Bookman.
"I still look to him as a teammate, not a competitor," Thompson said. "When I look up at the scoreboard, I still see a 'KU' next to his name."
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said that expecting runners to perform at Bookman's level would be unfair.
"It's tough to say that Aaron will win the NCAA like Leo did" Redwine said. "Leo was a phenomenal athlete and a phenomenal talent."
Redwine and Thompson collaborate to determine what goals are tangible for Thompson, not what goals were left by Bookman, Thompson said.
"We both work together to get me in the right direction and to get me to the NCAAs." Thompson said of his goal to run at a nationally-qualifying time.
as he continually contributed to multiple events. Like Bookman, Thompson makes contributions to several other events, including the 110-meter and 400-meter hurdles, as well as the 200-meter dash and 4x400-meter relay. Thompson's veteran experience allows him to lead his teammates to victory as well, much like Bookman.
The jayhawks relied on Bookman's talent for four years
In a sport where athletes train to peak and reach bests at the end of the season, Thompson's potential cannot be measured in February. To reach his potential, Thompson cannot adopt Bookman's expectations. Thompson has expectations of his own.

Lakers coach quits for health reasons
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Rudy Tomjanovich resigned as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers yesterday, citing health concerns brought on by the job.
After victories, Tomjanovich said he would celebrate with a dinner of steak and fries, but the grinding feeling in his stomach always returned by the time he finished his meal.
"There are no outside influences, be it pressure from above, anything to do with my players or being here in Los Angeles," he said.
"It just kept wearing on me and wearing on me and my resistance got low. It hurt my health," he said, clearly subdued. "Maybe I'm an old general that needs to get his butt off the front line and do something else."
Tomjanovich, 56, went 22-19 in his first season as Phil Jackson's successor and with a revamped lineup built around Kobe Brvant.
General manager Mitch Kupchak said assistant coach Frank Hamblen would serve as interim coach.
Tomjanovich, who led the Houston Rockets to NBA titles in 1994 and 1995, returned to coaching after recovering from bladder cancer.
He said that he began wearing down mentally and physically about a month ago.
"I went from this energetic, pumped-up guy to being sapped of a lot of energy," Tomjanovich said, adding that he takes antibiotics regularly now.
Tomjanovich said the Lakers offered him a consulting position for two years, which he planned to consider.
He denied that his resignation was prompted by any conflict with owner Jerry Buss or injured superstar Bryant.
Tomjanovich's decision stunned players and the front office, which now must now look for a successor.
"The other day at practice when we saw him, he looked kind of disheveled a little bit and everybody was concerned," Kobe Bryant said. "I went up and talked to him and called him the next day to see how he was doing."
Tomjanovich signed a $30 million, five-year contract last summer and replaced Phil Jackson, who left at the end of last season. Addressing reports that Jackson might consider returning as coach, Kupchak said he hadn't spoken to Jackson in months.
If the season ended today, the Lakers would be in the playoffs as the seventh-best team in the Western Conference. Following tonight's game against San Antonio, they will play 24 of their final 38 games on the road.

Softball team relies on captains
By Drew Davison
ddavison@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
As the 2005 softball season approaches, the Kansas captains are preparing to carry the team.
Co-captains Serena Settlemier, pitcher, and Destiny Frankenstein, infielder, had different 2004 seasons.
Settlemier is coming back from two injury-plagued years while Frankenstein is coming off a great year where she led the team in steals and batting average and had a great defensive year at shortstop.
Frankenstein also had a great
onseason, when she focused mostly on weights and running. Look for Frankenstein to be a leader both offensively and defensively this season. She said she was excited about this season, especially with Settlemier back on the field and pitching well.
Settlemier will be back on the mound for 2005, the first time in two years. Serena had an injury to her wrist, which required a metal plate inserted inside her wrist and 18 months of rehab. After the injury, the doctors told Settlemier that she might not be able to throw again.
"I used it as motivation more than anything." she said.
She said she remembered some really rough days, but she never contemplated giving up.
With Settlemier back in the pitching rotation, along with sophomore right-hander Kassie Humphreys and freshman left-hander Christina Ross, look for the Jayhawks to be in a position to win every game.
Frankenstein and Settlemier are also looking forward to playing with the four freshman newcomers.
Jackie Vasquez, starting center fielder, and Cyndi Duran, outfielder, bring much-needed speed to the lineup. Settlemier looks forward to playing with catcher Elle Pottorf, who will
start this season. Finally, Christina Ross will make an immediate impact for Kansas being the first left-handed pitcher recruited by coach Tracy Bunge.
The 2005 Jayhawk softball team, predicted to finish eighth in the Big 12 Conference, according to the softball preseason coaches' poll, has a full pitching staff and the speed for the first time in several seasons.
Frankenstein and Settlemier said they each expected to exceed the poll's expectations.
The Jawahars start their 37th season Feb.4 in Arizona.

Cubs rid themselves of Sosa, make deal with Baltimore for infielder, prospects
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — Sammy Sosa could be tapping his heart and blowing kisses to Baltimore Orioles fans in a matter of hours.
Sosa was scheduled to take a physical yesterday, and the Orioles were already making tentative plans for a news conference to introduce him if baseball commissioner Bud Selig gives his approval. Selig's office was still waiting on some final paperwork, but it expected to receive it yesterday.
Chicago would get Jerry Hairston Jr. and two minor leaguers for Sosa, whose up-and-down ride with the Cubs is nearing a conclusion. The Cubs.would pay $12 million of Sosa's $17 million salary this year.
The swap cannot be completed without Selig's blessing because more than $1 million will change hands, but no problems are anticipated. Selig has been informed of the negotiations, and his office just needs
that last paperwork before it forwards him the trade. Missing is Sosa's waiver of his no-trade rights as a 10-year veteran with at least five years on the same team, and formal agreement to the restructuring of his contract by the league and union.
Sosa's contract with Chicago contains a provision that calls for the team's $18 million option for 2006 to become guaranteed if he is traded, and for a $19 million team option for 2007 to be added — one that would carry a $4.5 million buyout. As part of the trade, Sosa will sign an addendum to his contract voiding that provision.
In addition, Chicago is responsible for a $5.5 million severance payment that must be made within 30 days of the deal. Baltimore becomes responsible for the 2006 option, which carries a $4.5 million buyout.
The deal also is contingent upon Sosa passing the physical, to be administered by Orioles team physician Charles Silberstein.
Finalization of the trade can't happen soon enough for the
Cubs, who are ready to sign free-agent outfielder Jeromy Burnitz to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2006. That deal wouldn't be finalized until the Sosa trade is completed.
The Cubs initiated the swap with the Orioles in an effort to unload the 36-year-old Sosa, once a hero in Chicago. But his popularity and numbers dwindled over the past two years, and the Cubs found him to be expendable after a season in which he hit 253 and struck out 133 times.
Yet his 35 homers were more than any Orioles player hit in 2004, and his new teammates expect his bat to experience a revival this season.
"I'm looking for him to have a monster year," said Jay Gibbons, whom Sosa will replace in right field. "We needed a right-handed power hitter, and here's a guy who hit 35 despite missing time with a bad back. I'd say that makes the middle of the lineup pretty dangerous."
Sosa will certainly add punch to the lineup, but will he be a positive addition to the clubhouse? He was suspended for corking his bat in 2003, and last season left early during the Cubs' final game and was critical of manager Dusty Baker for dropping him to sixth in the batting order.
"Yeah, some things happened last year, but I'm sure there was a lot of stuff behind the scenes that we don't know about," Orioles outfielder Larry Biggie said. "I think he will fit right in. Take away the last two years and give him a fresh start, and I bet everything will be fine."
Bigbie has spent much of the offseason in Indiana, about 20 minutes outside Chicago. He knows what Cubs fans think of Sosa, and expects that opinion might change by July.
"They're happy to have him out of Chicago, and I'm happy to have him in Baltimore. I think he'll be a great addition to the team and to the city," Biggie said. "I might end up calling all those Cubs fans around the All-Star break and see how many want him back. Maybe all he needs is a clean slate."
T.O. takes center stage in Super Bowl circus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — He's not limping. He's not feeling any pain. He's embracing the biggest spotlight in sports.
And the way Terrell Owens is talking, it's ludicrous that anyone would doubt he'd be ready for Sunday's Super Bowl.
Owens didn't waste any time Tuesday pronouncing himself fit for the Philadelphia Eagles' first try at the NFL title since 1981. Less than a minute into media day, he let the world know that TO. would be in the house — Altelt Stadium — and in uniform against the New England Patriots.
"I feel great, I'm proving people wrong, the sky is the limit for me," he said. "There are no limitations."
Well, maybe a few, but the All-Pro wide receiver basically is ignoring them. He doesn't have clearance from the doctor who performed surgery on his right leg after he severely injured it on Dec. 19 against Dallas. Nor has he taken a regular role in any practice sessions.
No matter to Owens, who confidently predicted last month he would be in the lineup when the Eagles got to the big game.
"I will play on Sunday," he reiterated during a question and answer session that often resembled a monologue. "I know the type person I am; I have a lot of faith in my ability.
"I told the guys in the locker room: You guys just get us into the Super Bowl and I'll be there. They've done their job, now it's time to do my job."
Where T.O. is concerned, part of that job involves controversy. Whether he's pulling a Sharpie from his sock during a game, or being teased by actress Nicollette Sheridan, there is no middle ground for Owens.
Nor does he expect there to be.
"I was T.O. before I got here," said the player who forced a trade from San Francisco, refused to report to Baltimore, where the 49ers dealt him, then got the trade reworked for him to land in Philly. "I didn't ask to be controversial, but I guess it follows me."

BEEF UP: Meier spurns K-State
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
with 10 sacks last season.
Six junior college players are already taking classes and will participate in spring practices.
"They are learning how our football program operates, so that is a great advantage to them," Mangino said of the junior college players.
The junior college players that Mangino hopes to make the most impact on the offensive line are Marcus Anderson, who played at the City College of San Francisco, and Jake Cox, who played at Iowa Central Community College.
Anderson played left tackle last season and started every game as a sophomore. Cox was a junior college All-American after last season.
Mangino also was pleased with the fact that they were able to land the top quarterback on his coaching staff's board. Kerry
Meier, who played at Pittsburg High in Pittsburg, passed for nearly 1,000 yards last year. Meier also rushed for more than 600 yards.
"He has everything that I am looking for in a quarterback," Mangino said. "I couldn't find any negatives with him."
Meier signed even though two of his brothers had Kansas State connections. His oldest brother, Shad, was a tight end for the Wildcats and currently plays for the Tennessee Titans in the NFL. His other brother, Dylan, started most of the Wildcat games last season at quarterback.
Mangino said that every high school player the coaching staff targeted in the state of Kansas gave a commitment.
Kansas also received commitments from two wide receivers. Brian Murph, who played last season at Butler County Community College, and Raimond Pendleton, who played
at South Garland High School. Murp caught 20 balls for 396 yards last season.
"He is what you call a dependable guy. If you throw the ball near him, he going to catch it and secure it," Mangino said.
"Pendleton is a speedy guy that we had a lot of competition for." Mangino said.
Pendleton comes in with a good pedigree as his father played cornerback for the Miami Dolphins. Pendleton was a first team all-state selection in Texas last season.
But this year's haul was not a complete success. Mangino said Kansas lost three or four recruits because of de-committing this recruiting season. That is, the recruits verbally committed, but eventually signed with other programs.
"It is a hazard that comes with college football recruiting and it is going to be there for a long, long time," Mangino said.

Senior spurs Cowboys to trample 'Cats by 20
STILLWATER, Okla. — Being benched certainly motivated Daniel Bobik, and he helped fire up No. 10 Oklahoma State against Kansas State.
- - will participate in spring drills
* - non-scholarship athlete
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The 25-year-old senior sat at the start of the Cowboys' 104-86 victory against Colorado on Sunday, and his coach and teammates noticed a difference afterward.
"Daniel got his swagger back in Colorado and it showed today," guard John Lucas III said. "He was hitting shots, played with a lot of energy, and he rebounded. I didn't know he had 11 rebounds. That kind of surprises me."
Head coach designate Sean Sutton saw more energy from Bobik, too.
"You can go one of two ways." Sutton said. "Some guys will sulk. Some guys will battle up. It clearly had an impact."
Joey Graham scored 23 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, and Lucas had 19 points and 10 assists as Oklahoma State (16-3)
6-2 Big 12) pulled away in the second half to extend the longest home winning streak in the country with its 268 straight victory at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
for the first 9 1/2 minutes of the second half and finished with 25 for Kansas State. Peete added 14, and Cartier Martin scored 11 for the Wildcats, who lost for the eighth straight time in Stillwater.
"I'm not sure I've been involved in a game when three guys get double-doubles." Sutton said.
Lucas hit a 3-pointer from the right wing the next trip down for the Cowboys, and Terrence Crawford added to the lead with a steal at midcourt and a two-handed jam. He completed the three-point play, and Graham hit a baseline jumper and a 3-pointer from the left wing to put the Cowboys ahead 49-37.
Bobik and Lucas hit back-to-back 3-pointers to stretch the lead to 55-40, and Kansas State was never again closer than 10.
The Wildcats (13-5, 3-4) had a chance to tie early in the second half when Tyler Hughes took a pass from Jeremiah Massey and jammed it home with two hands while getting fouled, but Hughes missed the ensuing free throw and Oklahoma State got rolling.
"They didn't do anything different in the second half," Massey said. "The thing we were doing different was getting the ball to the open guy in the first half and it helped us stay close. They just hit more shots than us in the second half."
The Cowboys started strong from 3-point range and led 14-7 after back-to-back 3s from Lucas and Jameson Curry.
Kansas State pulled to 19-17 on a driving basket by Peete, but Graham stretched the lead again with five straight points — including a right-handed jam over Lance Harris that electrified the crowd.
Fred Peete brought Kansas State to 59-49 on a 3-pointer from the right wing, but another 3-pointer from Bobik sparked a 10-0 run that put the game away.
"It was one of those moments where he ran up under me, and I was like, 'You messed up,'" Graham said. "I hammered on him."
Massey, who scored 18 points in the first half, was held scoreless
Bobik compared the dunk to a Julius Erving cup-and-slam, but he and the rest of Graham's teammates said it was against team rules to look up at the replay. Rules couldn't resist.
"I looked up there," he said.
"The main reason she fouled out was because she didn't rotate fast enough to cover the middle penetration," Henrickson said.
KIBOSH: Kansas outrebounded
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
McIntosh tied Hallman for a team-high six rebounds, with four on the offensive end. She finished tied with senior forward Crystal Kemp with 10 points, tops on the team. Her numbers may have been more impressive had she not been in foul trouble. She fouled out with more than eight minutes to play.
After the game, Coale was quick to praise the Kansas players and coaches. She was amazed with the difference between last year's Kansas team and the current one, which dropped to 2-6 in conference play.
"The improvement that Kansas has made from last year to this year is nothing short of phenomenal," Coale said. "I watched Bonnie's teams at Virginia Tech, and they always really guard you."
"She does a great job of recruiting kids that can play the way she wants them to. You know at an institution like this, she's going to have success."

Softball team relies on captains
By Drew Davison
ddavison@kansan.com
KANSAAN SPORTSWITHER
As the 2005 softball season approaches, the Kansas captains are preparing to carry the team.
Co-captains Serena Settlemier, pitcher, and Destiny Frankenstein, infielder, had different 2004 seasons.
Settlemier is coming back from two injury-plagued years while Frankenstein is coming off a great year where she led the team in steals and batting average and had a great defensive year at shortstop.
Frankenstein also had a great
offseason, when she focused mostly on weights and running. Look for Frankenstein to be a leader both offensively and defensively this season. She said she was excited about this season, especially with Settlemier back on the field and pitching well.
Settlemier will be back on the mound for 2005, the first time in two years. Serena had an injury to her wrist, which required a metal plate inserted inside her wrist and 18 months of rehab. After the injury, the doctors told Settlemier that she might not be able to throw again.
"I used it as motivation more than anything." she said.
She said she remembered some really rough days, but she never contemplated giving up.
With Settlemier back in the pitching rotation, along with sophomore right-hander Kassie Humphreys and freshman left-hander Christina Ross, look for the Jayhawks to be in a position to win every game.
Frankenstein and Settlerm are also looking forward to playing with the four freshman newcomers.
Jackie Vasquez, starting center fielder, and Ceydi Duran, outfielder, bring much-needed speed to the lineup. Settlemier looks forward to playing with catcher Ellie Pottorf, who will
start this season. Finally, Christina Ross will make an immediate impact for Kansas being the first left-handed pitcher recruited by coach Tracy Bunge.
The 2005 Jayhawk softball team, predicted to finish eighth in the Big 12 Conference, according to the softball preseason coaches' poll, has a full pitching staff and the speed for the first time in several seasons.
Frankenstein and Settlemier said they each expected to exceed the poll's expectations.
The Jahawahs start their 37th season Feb.4 in Arizona.

Cubs rid themselves of Sosa, make deal with Baltimore for infielder, prospects
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — Sammy Sosa could be tapping his heart and blowing kisses to Baltimore Orioles fans in a matter of hours.
Sosa was scheduled to take a physical yesterday, and the Orioles were already making tentative plans for a news conference to introduce him if baseball commissioner Bud Selig gives his approval. Selig's office was still waiting on some final paperwork, but it expected to receive it yesterday.
Chicago would get Jerry Hairston Jr. and two minor leaguers for Sosa, whose up-and-down ride with the Cubs is nearing a conclusion. The Cubs.would pay $12 million of Sosa's $17 million salary this year.
The swap cannot be completed without Selig's blessing because more than $1 million will change hands, but no problems are anticipated. Selig has been informed of the negotiations, and his office just needs
that last paperwork before it forwards him the trade. Missing is Sosa's waiver of his no-trade rights as a 10-year veteran with at least five years on the same team, and formal agreement to the restructuring of his contract by the league and union.
Sosa's contract with Chicago contains a provision that calls for the team's $18 million option for 2006 to become guaranteed if he is traded, and for a $19 million team option for 2007 to be added — one that would carry a $4.5 million buyout. As part of the trade, Sosa will sign an addendum to his contract voiding that provision.
In addition, Chicago is responsible for a $3.5 million severance payment that must be made within 30 days of the deal. Baltimore becomes responsible for the 2006 option, which carries a $4.5 million buyout.
The deal also is contingent upon Sola passing the physical, to be administered by Orioles team physician Charles Sil伯stein.
Finalization of the trade can't happen soon enough for the
Cubs, who are ready to sign free-agent outfielder Jeromy Burnitz to a one-year contract with a mutual option for 2006. That deal wouldn't be finalized until the Sosa trade is completed.
The Cubs initiated the swap with the Orioles in an effort to unload the 36-year-old Sosa, once a hero in Chicago. But his popularity and numbers dwindled over the past two years, and the Cubs found him to be expendable after a season in which he hit .253 and struck out 133 times.
Yet his 35 homers were more than any Orioles player hit in 2004, and his new teammates expect his bat to experience a revival this season.
"I'm looking for him to have a monster year," said Jay Gibbons, whom Sosa will replace in right field. "We needed a right-handed power hitter, and here's a guy who hit 35 despite missing time with a bad back. I'd say that makes the middle of the lineup pretty dangerous."
Sosa will certainly add punch to the lineup, but will he be a positive addition to the clubhouse? He was suspended for corking his bat in 2003, and last season left early during the Cubs' final game and was critical of manager Dusty Baker for dropping him to sixth in the batting order.
"Yeah, some things happened last year, but I'm sure there was a lot of stuff behind the scenes that we don't know about," Orioles outfielder Larry Bigbie said. "I think he will fit right in. Take away the last two years and give him a fresh start, and I bet everything will be fine."
Bigbie has spent much of the offseason in Indiana, about 20 minutes outside Chicago. He knows what Cubs fans think of Sosa, and expects that opinion might change by July.
"They're happy to have him out of Chicago, and I'm happy to have him in Baltimore. I think he'll be a great addition to the team and to the city," Biggie said. "I might end up calling all those Cubs fans around the All-Star break and see how many want him back. Maybe all he needs is a clean slate."
T.O.takes center stage in Super Bowl circus
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. He's not limping. He's not feeling any pain. He's embracing the biggest spotlight in sports.
And the way Terrell Owens is talking, it's ludicrous that anyone would doubt he'd be ready for Sunday's Super Bowl.
Owens didn't waste any time Tuesday pronouncing himself fit for the Philadelphia Eagles' first try at the NFL title since 1981. Less than a minute into media day, he let the world know that TO. would be in the house — Alltel Stadium — and in uniform against the New England Patriots.
"I feel great, I'm proving people wrong, the sky is the limit for me," he said. "There are no limitations."
Well, maybe a few, but the All-Pro wide receiver basically is ignoring them. He doesn't have clearance from the doctor who performed surgery on his right leg after he severely injured it on Dec. 19 against Dallas. Nor has he taken a regular role in any practice sessions.
No matter to Owens, who confidently predicted last month he would be in the lineup when the Eagles got to the big game.
"I will play on Sunday," he reiterated during a question and answer session that often resembled a monologue. "I know the type person I am; I have a lot of faith in my ability.
"I told the guys in the locker room: You guys just get us into the Super Bowl and I'll be there. They've done their job, now it's time to do my job."
Where T.O. is concerned, part of that job involves controversy. Whether he's pulling a Sharpie from his sock during a game, or being teased by actress Nicollette Sheridan, there is no middle ground for Owens.
Nor does he expect there to be.
"I was T.O. before I got here," said the player who forced a trade from San Francisco, refused to report to Baltimore, where the 49ers dealt him, then got the trade reworked for him to land in Philly. "I didn't ask to be controversial, but I guess it follows me."

BEEF UP: Meier spurns K-State
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
with 10 sacks last season.
Six junior college players are already taking classes and will participate in spring practices.
"They are learning how our football program operates, so that is a great advantage to them," Mangino said of the junior college players.
The junior college players that Mangino hopes to make the most impact on the offensive line are Marcus Anderson, who played at the City College of San Francisco, and Jake Cox, who played at Iowa Central Community College.
Anderson played left tackle last season and started every game as a sophomore. Cox was a junior college All-American after last season.
Mangino also was pleased with the fact that they were able to land the top quarterback on his coaching staff's board. Kerry
Meier, who played at Pittsburg High in Pittsburg, passed for nearly 1,000 yards last year. Meier also rushed for more than 600 yards.
"He has everything that I am looking for in a quarterback," Mangino said. "I couldn't find any negatives with him."
Meier signed even though two of his brothers had Kansas State connections. His oldest brother, Shad, was a tight end for the Wildcats and currently plays for the Tennessee Titans in the NFL. His other brother, Dylan, started most of the Wildcat games last season at quarterback.
Mangino said that every high school player the coaching staff targeted in the state of Kansas gave a commitment.
Kansas also received commitments from two wide receivers. Brian Murph, who played last season at Butler County Community College, and Raimond Pendleton, who played
Murph caught 20 balls for 396 vials last season.
at South Garland High School.
"He is what you call a dependable guy. If you throw the ball near him, he's going to catch it and secure it," Mangino said.
"Pendleton is a speedy guy that we had a lot of competition for," Mangino said.
Pendleton comes in with a good pedigree as his father played cornerback for the Miami Dolphins. Pendleton was a first team all-state selection in Texas last season.
But this year's haul was not a complete success. Mangino said Kansas lost three or four recruits because of de-committing this recruiting season. That is, the recruits verbally committed, but eventually signed with other programs.
"It is a hazard that comes with college football recruiting and it is going to be there for a long, long time," Mangino said.

Senior spurs Cowboys to trample 'Cats by 20
STILLWATER, Okla. — Being benched certainly motivated Daniel Bobik, and he helped fire up No. 10 Oklahoma State against Kansas State.
The 25-year-old senior sat at the start of the Cowboys' 104-86 victory against Colorado on Sunday, and his coach and teammates noticed a difference afterward.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
- - will participate in spring drills
* - non-scholarship athlete
"Daniel got his swagger back in Colorado and it showed today," guard John Lucas III said. "He was hitting shots, played with a lot of energy, and he rebounded. I didn't know he had 11 rebounds. That kind of surprises me."
Head coach designate Sean Sutton saw more energy from Bobik, too.
"You can go one of two ways." Sutton said. "Some guys will sulk. Some guys will battle up. It clearly had an impact."
Joey Graham scored 23 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, and Lucas had 19 points and 10 assists as Oklahoma State (16-3,
6-2 Big 12) pulled away in the second half to extend the longest home winning streak in the country with its 26th straight victory at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Lucas hit a 3-pointer from the right wing the next trip down for the Cowboys, and Terrence Crawford added to the lead with a steal at midcourt and a two-handed jam. He completed the three-point play, and Graham hit a baseline jumper and a 3-pointer from the left wing to put the Cowboys ahead 49-37.
for the first 9 1/2 minutes of the second half and finished with 25 for Kansas State. Peete added 14, and Cartier Martin scored 11 for the Wildcats, who lost for the eighth straight time in Stillwater.
"I'm not sure I've been involved in a game when three guys get double-doubles," Sutton said.
The Wildcats (13-5, 3-4) had a chance to tie early in the second half when Tyler Hughes took a pass from Jeremiah Massey and jammed it home with two hands while getting fouled, but Hughes missed the ensuing free throw and Oklahoma State got rolling.
"They didn't do anything different in the second half," Massey said. "The thing we were doing different was getting the ball to the open guy in the first half and it helped us stay close. They just hit more shots than us in the second half."
Bobik and Lucas hit back-to-back 3-pointers to stretch the lead to 55-40, and Kansas State was never again closer than 10.
Kansas State pulled to 19-17 on a driving basket by Peete, but Graham stretched the lead again with five straight points — including a right-handed jam over Lance Harris that electrified the crowd.
The Cowboys started strong from 3-point range and led 14-7 after back-to-back 3s from Lucas and James Curry.
"It was one of those moments where he ran up under me, and I was like, 'You messed up,'" Graham said. "I hammered on him."
Fred Petee brought Kansas State to 59-49 on a 3-pointer from the right wing, but another 3-pointer from Bobik sparked a 10-0 run that put the game away.
Massey, who scored 18 points in the first half, was held scoreless
Bobik compared the dunk to a Julius Erving cup-and-slam, but he and the rest of Graham's teammates said it was against team rules to look up at the replay. Sutton couldn't resist.
"I looked up there," he said.
KIBOSH: Kansas outrebounded
"The main reason she fouled out was because she didn't rotate fast enough to cover the middle penetration." Henrickson said.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
McIntosh tied Hallman for a team-high six rebounds, with four on the offensive end. She finished tied with senior forward Crystal Kemp with 10 points, tops on the team. Her numbers may have been more impressive had she not been in foul trouble. She fouled out with more than eight minutes to play.
After the game, Coale was quick to praise the Kansas players and coaches. She was amazed with the difference between last year's Kansas team and the current one, which dropped to 2-6 in conference play.
"The improvement that Kansas has made from last year to this year is nothing short of phenomenal," Coale said. "I watched Bonnie's teams at Virginia Tech, and they always really guard you.
"She does a great job of recruiting kids that can play the way she wants them to. You know at an institution like this, she's going to have success."

Self assesses Giles' injuries
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
The Kansas men's basketball team met yesterday for the first time since its victory against Missouri on Monday night. The Jayhawks took Tuesday off, but were back on the court yester day, preparing to hit the road to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday.
Yes, the same Nebraska team that was one three-point shot at the buzzer away from upsetting Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 19. The team that defeated the Jayhawks, 74-55, last year at Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Neb.
With that on their minds, the Jayhawks were all business yesterday.
"They are a good team, and it is another challenge on the road," senior guard Mike Lee said. "They played a good game against us at home, and we lost to them last year. So we are working hard to get ready for them."
C. J. Giles may be more ready than anybody else. The freshman forward has been nothing more than a spectator on the Kansas
He didn't suit up for the Jayhawks' last three games because of a severely bruised right foot, and he played only a combined five minutes in Kansas two prior games.
bench for about two-and-a-half weeks
Giles said that he came down on his foot wrong after an alleyoop dunk during the Kentucky game Jan. 9. He played 21 minutes in the Jayhawks' next contest against the Iowa State Cyclones on Jan. 12, but he realized the injury was more serious during practice after the Colorado game on Jan. 15. Shortly thereafter, he began wearing an orthopedic boot on his right foot.
The boot has helped minimize the pain and swelling so much that Giles said he expected to be ready to play this weekend.
"I am not all the way there, but I should be by Saturday," he said.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that Giles could play only if he practiced yesterday.
"If he isn't prepared to play, I won't play him," Self said "But I am certainly hopeful that he can practice in the next day or two."
Before practice yesterday, Giles was boot-free and said he
would participate in some half-court drills.
Giles' injury poses a significant problem because it may have set him back in the rotation, forcing him to have to earn his way back into the Kansas line-up. Before the injury, Giles had emerged as the front-runner of the freshman big men, starting three games for the Jayhawks when senior forward Wayne Simien was out with an injured thumb.
But after practically no playing time in five games, Giles may find himself behind fellow freshman Sasha Kaun, who has surfaced as the first big man off the bench.
Kaun has played at least 11 minutes in each of the last five games, while averaging six points and three rebounds per game.
Self said he expected Giles to be in the line-up, but he said that his injury could affect the amount of minutes he will play in the immediate future.
"I don't think it was very timely for C.J.," Self said. "But we need a shot-blocker and an alterer and an athlete up front, so I think if he is healthy, and when he gets back in the groove, I still see him getting
back into our rotation."
Freshman Alex Galindo, who has an injured groin, will probably not be as lucky. Self said he didn't expect the freshman forward to be available for Saturday's game. But he also said that Galindo's groin injury was not as serious as the one Simien suffered last year.
"It is not quite as severe because Wayne's bothered him all year," Self said. "And Alex could progress to that, but I don't know if it is to that stage vet.
Speaking of Simien, Self said the power forward was ready to play without a cast. Simien has been playing with some form of cast on his left hand since his return to the court on Jan. 12. He had surgery to prepare ligaments on his left thumb on Dec. 20.
Simien played his first couple of games back wearing a rather bulky cast, and has recently moved to a smaller one. From there, Self said Simien would probably use just tape. But in the meantime, Simien has to lose the cast.
"It is time for that one to come off," Self said.

the tradition of Kansas basketball. Forty-eight hours later, while calling the Michigan State vs. Illinois game Tuesday night, he was still talking about how much class Kansas had.
With that in mind, Self simply wants the profanities to stop.
"I'll plead to the students now," Self said. "Any type of profanity should not be chanted."
He encouraged the fans to be creative instead of derogatory. "There are enough creative things that we can do." Self said. "They should come up with something clever."
Senior guards Mike Lee and
Aaron Miles said the chants didn't bother them, but they said they recognized that it might reflect poorly on the program.
"It would be perceived as more classless than anything else." Lee said.
Miles pointed to a situation during his junior year when the Kansas football team defeated Missouri
But Lee said part of the reason that it didn't bother him was because the Missouri fans "are the worst fans I've ever witnessed."
"A 70 year-old man who was a Missouri fan punched a student," Miles said.
Self said he didn't want Kansas fans to stoop to that level. He also doesn't want an action to take away from the unique atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse.
"Nobody enjoys a great home court more than me, and no one appreciates the student body being involved in the game more than me," Self said. "I respect the fact that they camp out and donate their time. That's what makes this place special, but I do think that if you get into vulgarity it takes away from how special this place is."
"Nobody enjoys a great

Daisy Hill residents investigated
Three law enforcement agencies are currently investigating two KU students suspected of making fake IDs.
Agents from Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, the Secret Service and U.S. Postal Inspectors served a search warrant at 10:45 p.m. Tuesday at room 653 in Ellsworth Hall, according to a KU Public Safety Office report.
The KU Public Safety Office only assisted the other law enforcement agencies with the execution of the warrant, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office.
Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations, confirmed that the residents were suspected of making fake IDs and said that the University was cooperating with the law enforcement agencies investigating the case.
"The University applauds the efforts of the Alcoholic Beverage Control and its work in eliminating the production of fake IDs on campus." Cohen said.
Tom Groneman, director of Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said details of the case were not available because the case was still under investigation.
Cohen said that the University could not comment on any disciplinary action being taken.

Law student humanitarian dies from brain cancer
He provided food and clothing to a girl in the Philippines through an adoption program. And recently, he donated money to tsunami victims.
He created a Web site dedicated to raising money for cancer research.
He focused on how fortunate he was compared to those he was helping, even though Keenan himself was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Keenan, Ness City third-year law student, died Monday morning from cancer. He was 26.
"Even with the disease, he still felt compassion for people who were suffering," said Erica Brown, Keenan's fiance. "He always said that we had so much to be thankful for."
Andy Keenan wanted to help the unfortunate.
People will remember him most for his motivation to beat cancer and to complete his law degree. Brown said.
Brown knew her fiancée had a limited amount of time left to live and was 15 credits short of a diploma, so she requested an honorary law degree for him.
Surrounded by friends and professors, a tearful Keenan received his diploma on Jan. 28 in his home in Lawrence.
"He said there was nothing more he wanted than to get his J.D. and to beat cancer," Brown said. "That was probably one of the happiest days of his life."
In addition to presenting Keenan with his degree, the law school awarded him the Outstanding Inspiration Award for faith, courage, strength and humanitarianism.

Class absences and hacking coughs have been common lately at the University of Kansas.
Briana McAtee, Wichita senior, has seen it firsthand.
"It went through me, then my roommates, then their friends. It all happened so quickly." she said.
The flu and other illnesses have taken the hill by storm. Watkins Memorial Health Center has signs warning the possible need to wear a mask while in the building.
Twenty-three cases of the flu have been confirmed at Watkins Health Center since the first day of the spring semester. Twenty cases confirmed at Watkins were Type A, the most common and easily treatable form of the virus, said Myra Strother, Watkins chief of staff.
"It's reassuring, and if this keeps up, we won't even have to give the test anymore." Strother said.
She encouraged students to watch for flu symptoms, and see a physician as soon as possible to get treatment. Proper nutrition, health care, and

Program gives voice to HALO issues
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egarcia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Last night nine students in the Hispanic American Leadership Organization hosted four University officials in the Collegiate Leadership and Development Program. The United States Hispanic Leadership Institute designed the program to get Hispanic students and University officials to discuss issues that affect Hispanics on campus. Paul Mason, assistant dean of the business school,
Hispanic students are speaking out and making a place for themselves in the minds of University of Kansas administrators.
The program is designed to take place in three-hour sessions during the course of seven weeks. Andrea Pantoja, president of HALO, wants to turn this program into a class.
Shanda Hayden, academic adviser, Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, and Cindy Derritt, University registrar, attended the meeting.
"I hope we brought some ideas." Pantoja, Mission junior, said. "I was thinking a one-credit-hour class that would be beneficial for the leadership minor."
One of the major issues discussed during the meeting was the growing number of bilingual students or students who have only Spanish-speaking
parents. Roney spoke of the need for bilingual employees and publications and she mentioned the use of offering Spanish-language courses for employees as more Hispanic students enroll at the University.
The students also asked Derritt about a bill that would allow undocumented students access to in-state tuition. She said the registrar's office wanted those students to be comfortable applying for in-state tuition without fearing their records being subpoenaed by the Immigration and Naturalization Services.
Other HALO chapters have had success with the CLDP program. Naureen Kazi, former president of the HALO chapter at Kansas State University, said
once the administration saw that they took the program seriously, the Hispanic community on campus was able to make a difference, because the university's administration would ask it for advice on what to do on Hispanic recruitment.
"Because of the program, some changes have happened through our members," Kazi said. "You don't see as drastic change that quickly."
In order to participate in the program students must sign a contract stating you will show up for six of the seven programs. Students must also be enrolled full-time at the University and a registered voter.

Editor's Notes
Too often, we judge our intake of healthful foods only by what we eat, forgetting the other half is what we drink. We all know we should limit our consumption of soda and alcohol and drink plenty of water, but what else should we be thinking about when we take a sip of that cold beverage?
Fresh fruits and vegetables are more difficult to find and more expensive during these cold months, but as Britta Florman discusses in "Juice up your Diet" on page six, we don't have to forego all their nutrients. Fresh-squeezed juice provides more benefits than its bottled cousins, but you can also try different combinations to custom make your own health cocktail. And check out Liz Beggs's investigation of everything milk in "Udder Confusion" on page 10. Besides your daily value of Vitamin D, you may also be chugging hormones and pesticides.
Bottoms up. — Misty Huber, editor

From duct to diva
A new trend sticks to them all
On the runway this season you can expect to find satin sashes, capellets and duct tape? That's right—duct tape, and this year it will be used for more than improving your cleavage.
The sticky stuff has been common in American households since World War II. But not until recently has it become a familiar material in American closets. Duct tape is flexible, durable and waterproof, which makes it the perfect material for making wallets, purses and other accessories. Heather Sefcik, media relations manager for Henkel Consumer Adhesives Inc., says part of the appeal is that duct tape items are unique.
"It's an interesting phenomenon, she says. "People can get really creative. It's something people grew up with and it's a familiar item that can be used in a cool, new way."
The Henkel Consumer Adhesive Company makes Duck Tape. Because of the consumer feedback, it has created the Duck Tape Club where artists can send in photos and instructions for their tape creations.
Keith Drone, founder of ducttapefashion.com, says that there might be another reason for the tape's appeal. "People like shiny objects," Drone says. "Using it in accessories and clothing is just another use for it."
People everywhere, like Drone and his designers, are creating all kinds of duct tape items. From wallets to backpacks and hats to entire ensembles, the silver tape can be a creative person's dream.
Mark Adams, Overland Park senior,
started creating wallets, hats and even
duct-tape shorts during high school.
"People should experiment with different brands of duct tape," he says. "The more time and care you put into your work, the better it will be."
He says the best part about creating your own duct-tape accessory is that you can customize it to fit you. "You can add as many card-holding slots, windows, pockets or anything else as you want," he says.
On ducttapefashion.com handbags are priced between $15 and$ 24. Wallets start at $10, and you can even pick up an adjustable guitar strap or a dozen duct tape roses while you're there. At local craft stores, you can choose between 19 colors and patterns of duct tape for about$ 3 a roll and put your creativity to use to make the perfect bag for you. For a simple design, create four separate panels and assemble them.
1. Decide on your pattern: Stripe, solid camoflauge, and what colors. The completed front panel will measure 7 inches by 11 inches.
2. To make the front panel, lay 7-inch strips of tape, sticky side up, overlapping the edges. Next lay 7-inch strips sticky side down to cover the pattern.
L
图
3. Repeat this process to make the back panel.
图1-38 制作竹片
3. To create the side/bottom/side panel you will need three 27-inch strips of duct tape. First, lay two strips sticky side up, overlapping by 1 inch.
4. The third strip is placed sticky side down in the center. Turn over the sticky edges.
5. To assemble: Center the two panels, and attach them with a strip of tape 7 inches long on the inside of the back and the outside. Then use two pieces on each side to secure the panels to the side/bottom/side. Lift the side/bottom/side panel and tape it to the front and back panels. Add extra pieces of tape to finish off edges and bottom. Trim off the excess tape.
Experiment with colors like flamingo pink and island lime and don't be afraid of patterns. Look at designer handbags for inspiration, and if you mess up, just unstick it, and try again. Drone says to use your creativity to make something unique.
"Duct tape is only as amaze as the imagination wields it," he says.

Quick Fix
Button, button, oh God, what happened to my button?
Nothing beats the good old-fashioned button when it comes to holding your clothes on and your shirts closed—until the button falls off. Then you're stuck with a loose button and a bunch of ragged threads.
While sewing on a button sounds daunting, it's pretty simple. Just follow these simple steps from Gail Trottier, cut-
ter/draper for University Theatre.
1. Remove all of the broken thread from the fabric. It will just get in your way later and create unneeded bulk.
2. Find thread that matches as close as possible the original thread.
3. Thread your needle. When threading, Trottier advises doubling your thread to make the process faster. Tie a knot at the
4. Put your needle through the fabric, starting from the side that would be worn against the body.
tail end of the thread.
5. Bring the needle through a buttonhole from the back of the button to the front, and then pull the needle through a different hole from front to back. Bring the needle through the shirt and pull tightly.
Repair this step a couple of times until the button is secure.
6. Make a double knot in the thread on the side of the fabric that would be worn against the body. If you make a single knot, it will just come out.

Juice up your d
Fresh juice can be the key to better health
By Britta Florman, Jayplaywriter
Feel like you're coming down with a cold? Need an energy boost? Fresh juices made from fruits and vegetables can help power up your tired, overworked self this winter. By juicing different combinations of fruits, vegetables and herbs such as carrots, apples, beets, cucumber, celery, spinach, garlic and parsley, you can create the perfect drink to help you feel better and build up your immune system.
A Scientific Explanation.
Fresh juice can provide health benefits like no other drink. Although bottled juices can have nutritional value, these pre-made drinks lack the thriving enzymes present in fresh juice. Removed from their food counterpart, enzymes have a different effect on the body.
Hal Sears, wellness manager at the Community Mercantile explains that enzymes function to aide digestion and eliminate waste and free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause cancer. When they are consumed with the vitamins and minerals of the fruit and vegetable juices, the body quickly absorbs the nutrients, and enzymes work to eliminate pre-existing waste.
Does this sound confusing? Basically, when you drink fresh juice, your body quickly absorbs the nutrients of the raw fruit or vegetable, requiring almost no effort by the digestive system. This advantage of drinking fresh juice is receiving all of the nutritional benefits of vegetables
A Real-Life Juicer
Lawrence sophomore Melissa Brewer attributes her interest in juicing to her father.
"My dad's a health nut," she says.
Brewer's father taught her well; she lists some of the wide-ranging benefits of fresh juice. It provides vitamins, antioxidants and is good for the hair, skin and nails, Brewer says.
No Juicer, No Problem
Since most of us don't own a juice, the Juice Step and the Community Mercantile (the Merc) both offer fresh-made juices to order. Brewer says carrot, apple and parsley comprise her favorite juice combination, which is available at both juice shops. The important antioxidant vitamin C in apples helps maintain healthy skin and bones, boosts the immune system and helps the body utilize the iron in parsley, which is also detoxifying.
The Juice Stop also offers earthy-tasting wheatgrass shots. A 1-ounce shot of wheatgrass juice is nutritionally equivalent to 2 1/2 pounds of raw vegetables. A wheatgrass shot is a quick way to energize you; it helps detoxify and regenerate the liver and blood.
If the wheatgrass is too extreme for your palate, vegetable and fruit juice may be better for you. The Juice Stop and the Merc both have menus suggesting different drink combinations. Try one of those,
or create your own mix of yummy, healthy vegetables and/or fruits.
These ingredients, when juiced, can provide the following benefits:
Beets stimulate the liver and help cleanse the digestive system.
Oranges and apples are packed with the antioxidant vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system and rid the body of free radicals.
Celery can help purify the blood, kidneys and bladder.
Cucumber is cooling to the body and is a mild diuretic.
Garlic has antiviral and antibacterial properties.
- Ginger protects against respiratory infections, aids digestion and warms
the body by stimulating circulation.
iet
Spinach is rich in antioxidants, which help slow cell degeneration; it's also high in calcium, folic acid and vitamin A.
- Carrots and red peppers contain the important antioxidant beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body and helps you rpaintain healthy vision.

When relationships go bad...
How to tell when "it's over"
BURNS AND BONES
Photo illustration by Kit Leffler
It wasn't about someone else. It wasn't about an argument. It wasn't even about Danae DeShazer and her boyfriend being in a long distance relationship.
Something happened in late November that made the Overland Park freshman realize it was over with her boyfriend of one year and three months.
DeShazer says she started noticing herself talking to her sorority sisters more than her boyfriend about her problems. "It
came to a point where I felt like I couldn't even talk to him anymore," DeShazer says.
Karen Harrison, marriage and family therapist, says there are common signs when a relationship is over. Distancing oneself from the relationship, not spending as much time with a partner, being more critical of one another and expressing the desire to date around when a couple has been in a monogamous relationship, are the typical signs.
Two weeks before the break up. DeShazer says she called her boyfriend less often.
DeShazer says she just lost the feelings she once had for him, and that if they didn't break up she would be forcing herself to love him when she didn't.
"You can work through so many things, but once you hit the point where you're forcing the relationship, it's over," DeShazer says.
Chris Pieschl, Stillwell senior, says he noticed his girlfriend acting differently at his military ball. She broke up with him later that night. Before the breakup, he says she didn't call as much as she used to, and she also lost interest in the things she normally wanted to do.
Harrison says it's common for couples to stay together even when they know it's over. These people are afraid to move on and are scared they won't find another relationship. This type of behavior usually ends up with the couple fighting more or becoming co-dependent, she says.
DeShazer says the ultimate warning sign their relationship was over was that she lost "that feeling" for him.
For a couple who is dating and also fighting a lot, Harrison says there are two solutions: break up or go to a counselor or communications class to learn how to communicate more effectively. Harrison says problems that have not been going on for long are easier to fix.
Harrison says that couples shouldn't settle for someone they don't get along with.
"People tend to settle for a person too quickly," she says.
Harrison says friends are another valuable resource to see how a relationship is going.
"Friends are more objective, and if you have several friends who don't like them, you should seriously consider their opinion," Harrison says.
How we met
Alexis Hallman, Kansas City, Kan., senior, and Jeremy Kanarek, Mexico City senior, met in the parking lot of the Hawker apartments where both lived at the time. Alexis was on her way to teach voice lessons in Kansas City, when she realized her car didn't have gas. Jeremy, who just happened to be there at the moment, offered her a ride. Going against her better judgment of not riding with strangers, Alexis accepted the offer. The car ride developed into friendship. After two years of knowing each other, Jeremy and Alexis say they're now totally committed to each other.

The world underneath campus

*Ryan remembers it clearly: It was one of those nights with a sky so overcast and dark that the very air around him seemed to be made of some sooty ether, blotting out heavenly bodies and sucking the light out of the lamps before it could reach him.
It was perfect.
He and his friends had decided – it being early enough in the second semester of his sophomore year that none of them had anything better to do – that they should explore the tunnels under campus. Everyone knew they were there, but no one knew much about them beyond that. They were a curious lot by nature, and the tunnels picked at their imaginations.
They also had a pretty good idea that the KU Public Safety Office wouldn't be too keen about a half-dozen college students wandering around in the tunnels, so the darkness of the evening worked in well with their plans to go exploring.
They were right, of course. Jim Long, vice provost for facilities planning and management, says entering the tunnels without authorization amounts to criminal trespass. That is why Ryan's name has been changed for this article.
Their chosen place of entry was the manhole just up the hill from Spencer Museum of Art. One of Ryan's friends had done some preliminary probing and discovered that it had an easy cover to pry up. Once they had removed the heavy obstacle, they dropped down into the tunnel's mouth one by one, leaving two guys topside to cover the lid and wait for their return.
Underground, the tunnels were unnaturally warm and smelled like an old attic. They were lit, at least, by a series of bare

lightbulbs along the ceiling. At some places Ryan and his friends could walk almost upright with plenty of elbow room, at others the passage narrowed almost to the point where he thought they would have to turn back. Occasionally the passage would slope up or down, other times it would split off into several branches whose endings Ryan could only guess at. Sticking together, Ryan and his friends chose what felt like the straightest and widest path and continued on through the seemingly endless catacombs.
The tunnels under campus were put in place to carry steam from the original steam plant to the other buildings for heat during the winter. Eventually, the tunnels wound up carrying other things, such as cables for electricity.
Long refused to disclose the exact trail of the tunnels, citing security concerns, but he says that as the University grows, the tunnels will continue to grow. He did say that they connect all of the major buildings on campus, stretching under the sidewalks and streets that students walk along every day.
Because of their age, some of the tunnels have become unsafe, prompting the University to start ripping them out and refurbishing them. The tract at $14^{\mathrm{th}}$ Street and Jayhawk Boulevard has been the first to receive attention.
Several of the supports within the tunnels are crumbling, and many of the pipes are insulated with asbestos.

had been the oldest portion of the tunnels, and had been drilled through solid rock instead of being a tube laid into a trench. The main worry was that water would seep in through the rock and flood the tunnel, a problem that the new tunnel has been designed to overcome.
She says the recently renovated section.
The condition of the tunnels is the main reason that people aren't allowed in them, says Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. She says that they were not designed for student traffic to begin with, and their deterioration has made them even less safe for trespassers.
Nichols does have a lasting impression from the time she spent in the tunnel before it was ripped out.
For Ryan and his friends, the creepiness of the tunnels was part of their appeal. Every step across the floor had to be taken with care, hunched over and mindful of the scalding-hot steam pipes running along the wall. Untold decades of grime covered the floors, making them ever more treacherous.
"They're really creepy," she says.
The explorers trekked as far as the Kansas Memorial Union and then Watson Library before security guards who seemed suspicious of their lookouts prompted them to quit for the evening.
In the end, despite risking criminal charges and finding nothing in the tunnels, Ryan says that the experience was a worthwhile one. He says he'll always remember his trip to the tunnels, and that of all the pointless, illegal and dangerous things he's done since coming to college, it remains his favorite.

Q
Not getting your daily, dose of sex?
I've fallen in love with my best friend. What can I do?
Jayce, senior
a
Jessi: They say "friends first" is the best pre-dating policy, and I bet you're asking yourself, "but why am I just now wanting her?!" Examine your situation. Maybe she just looks better now that she started wearing makeup, or maybe you're just plain lonely. Just be sure you're not making the common mistake of falling in love with the idea of someone.
Chris: Picture a partially frozen pond. On your side of the pond is a warm igloo. On the other side is another warm igloo, but inside is this girl you love – naked. And she has a giant box of gold. Is dying in the freezing water worth the gold and potential sex in the warm igloo? Will you be happy on your side with no gold and no girl? Or should you just run across that ice and hope for the best? I'm no penguin but I'd say you need to get across that pond.
Q
Q. My TA and I have been flirting and recently decided to go out.
Do you think this is a good idea or not?

—Julie, freshman
Jessi: Save yourself the trouble. Think of the negative consequences of getting involved with anyone "above" you in the land of academia. Why not just wait a semester and then, by all means, date your ex-TA.
Chris: Will he help you on papers? Will he sneak you answers to the test? If he doesn't will you be a huge bitch? All things to consider. If it's worth the potential conflict, go for it, but if you don't see it lasting all semester I'd get out now. And drop the class, especially if it's SOC 340. That class is a bitch to get into!
Q
Pat, sophomore.
Q. I recently got out of a relationship where I had sex regularly. Now that I'm dating again I forget how annoying it is to have to take a girl out many times before having sex. Any advice?
Chris: Get over it.
Jessi: So you've hit a sexual dry spell and now you're spending lonesome, passionless nights buying dinner for girls who aren't willing to tickle your fancy. Boo hoo. One big decision we make in college is deciding whether or not we're ready for a committed relationship. With that said, find people looking for the same thing you are: meaningless, raw salami-hiding.

The real "Got Milk?" question
Butterscotch nibbles on clover and lush grass as her tail bats the season's remaining flies. Her udder hangs low and full, with her teats reaching for the prairie like fingers trying to grasp a wave.
Wearing mud boots and a fall jacket, Sherie Noffke leads me closer to Butter-scotch and the three other dairy cows that make up her and her husband's small herd. I follow carefully. Tip-toeing between mud puddles and cow pies that dot the ground, we hop over electric fence after electric fence and faced the portion of pasture where the cows graze. Butter-scotch looks up at me with innocent eyes covered in thick, cartoon-like eyelashes, seemingly unruffled, and again turns her head to the grass.
Butterscotch and her lady friends eat grass and clover and roam a fresh pasture every week. They receive no hormone injections or antibiotics, and the grains that supplement their diet are organic. They live a stress-free life and fatten as nature intended. In comparison to their counterparts at large dairies that are confined to cement-floored paddocks and feedlots, the Noffke's foursome are lucky cows. The way Noffke tells it, these lucky cows make better milk.
Milk is one of the FDA's most controversial foods. From organic to conventional, raw to pasteurized and fattening to
healthy, the debate over milk is multifaceted. Scientists and nutritionists cannot agree on the safety of growth hormones used by many dairy farmers or the use of pesticides on cattle feed. The increase in attention to organic and pure foods has reintroduced raw milk into the mix as a potentially safe alternative to pasteurized milk. The safe and healthy concept received significant backing when a study by the University of Tennessee was released, casting doubt on the "too-much-dairy-makes-you-fat idea." It claimed instead that dairy products aid in weight reduction. Milk has proved to be one heck of a dairy dilemma.
The good for us stuff
Practically from conception, we have been bombarded with the five food groups—whole grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy products and meat—and told that if we ate a certain number of servings of each group per day, we would provide our bodies with the essential nutrients to stay strong and fit. We need to drink milk by the glass, add feta to our salads and consume yogurt for snacks. We were to be a nation of healthy teeth and strong bones with beautiful actresses and dominant athletes leading the way with their glued-on milk mustaches.
This "Got Milk?" marketing ploy simply
advertised to the public what many of us already knew: milk provides our body with essential nutrients. With components such as Vitamin D, calcium and Vitamin K, it's no secret that milk aids in the development of strong bones. One serving of reduced-fat cow's milk contains almost 30 percent of the daily value of calcium and a little more than 30 percent of the daily value of phosphate. These two minerals combine to form calcium phosphate, which provides for both the strength and structure of bones. A serving of milk also provides almost 50 percent of the daily value of Vitamin D, which keeps calcium in the blood and available for bones to use. With all of these vitamins and minerals, milk looks like a super-food, so why is there any debate at all? Nutrients in milk were never the problem.
One of the problems with milk's image is the fear of hormones injected into dairy cows. Many conventional dairy farms use
Shooting up cows
a cow growth hormone called rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone), known commercially as Posilac. Farmers inject this hormone into the cows as often as twice a month to extend the heavy milk output period from eight to 10 weeks to 16 to 20. This extended milking period allows each cow to produce more milk, but Dr. Samuel Epstein, a professor of environmental medicine at the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago, states in his book "Got (Genetically Engineered) Milk?" that the hormone also increases the occurrence of mastitis in cows. Mastitis is the scientific name for inflammation of breast tissue, which in cows can lead to swollen, hard udders that when milked, will excrete pus from the infected tissue into the milk. Extensive mastitis cases require large doses of antibiotics.
Epstein also says that rBGH increases a cell-stimulating growth factor that is genetically identical to humans and may cause premature growth of breasts in children and possibly breast cancer in adults.

...
[Image of three dairy cows in a snowy field].
According to a study conducted by the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center in 2001, 48,677 milk cows were certified organic in the United States. They produced less than 1 percent of the 6.3 billion gallons of beverage milk.
The growth factor to which Epstein is referring is called insulin-like growth factor, or IGF-1. Both human and cow's milk contains some level of IGF-1 because milk is designed for the young and IGF-1 helps us in the growth process. Epstein says that the higher levels of IGF-1 in the blood could stimulate cancerous cells to grow. Melissa Hooper, nutritionist for the Midwest Dairy Association, disagrees and says that rBGH can't affect humans because it is a bovine hormone that has been deemed safe by the FDA.
Ideas similar to Epstein's are what keep the Noffke's Pleasanton farm, Skyview, all natural. The Noffkes do not use growth hormones because Noffke has read about the link between the hormones and cancers in the reproductive organs and breast tissue. She also understands that science currently cannot back up these claims.
Worries about hormones are not the only reason farms like Noffke's go organic. She compares eating and drinking inorganic products to stepping on nails. She says that occasionally stepping on a nail won't hurt you too badly. Stepping on nails every day is a different story. Included in Noffke's "nails" are pesticides and fertilizers. An organic farm can neither feed its cows grain that has been treated with pesticides nor medicate the cows with antibiotics. The pasture where the cows graze must be naturally fertilized, and the water source must be controllable. The final product is all natural and pure.
Straight from the udder?
Take the idea of natural and pure one step further and you'll run smack into one of the newest milk crazes—or should I say oldest? Obviously, milk straight from the
cow was consumed before the whole idea of pasteurization, but now some consumers are choosing raw milk over the pasteurized version because it is richer in vitamins and minerals and therefore possibly more healthful.
The problem for these raw milk guzzlers is that store-bought milk is sold in the pasteurized form. Pasteurization is a process that began in the late $19^{\mathrm{th}}$ century after people began to blame raw milk for tuberculosis. Louis Pasteur, a French chemist, came up with a process in which the milk was heated to between 145 and 150 degrees for half an hour and then chilled to less than 55 degrees to kill germs and prevent quick spoilage. The milk sold on the shelves of grocery stores and gas stations goes through a process called HTST (High Temperature/ Short Time) pasteurization in which the milk is heated to 161.5 degrees for at least 15 seconds.
The enzymes that pasteurization removes aid in the digestion of milk, creating lactose intolerance Noffke says. She says that if you were to feed pasteurized milk to a calf, it would die of malnutrition because of the missing nutrients that the pasteurization process has destroyed.
The sale of raw milk is outlawed in many states, but that doesn't decrease consumer demand. Noffke says that she is up to her eyeballs in raw milk customers, but in Kansas, dairies that sell raw milk can only sell it on the farm. They are not allowed to transport the merchandise, and they cannot advertise beyond the farm. Drive-by customers only see a small, white sign lettered in black to alert them that Skyview sells milk.
The skinny on fat
Diet fads change from clinical study to clinical study. Years ago, dairy products were on the strict dieters "do not touch" list, but recent studies claim that calcium-rich dairy products actually aid in weight reduction. Hooper says that Dr. Michael Zemel, professor of nutrition at the University of Tennessee, discovered this correlation almost 14 years ago. He noticed that African-American men who consumed at least two servings of whole-fat dairy a day lost an average of 11 pounds during his yearlong study. These men did not reduce their calorie intake.
This led to Zemel's more current research published in "Obesity Research" indicating that people on a reduced-calorie diet who eat three to four servings of dairy a day on a reduced-calorie diet lose weight in their abdominal region. In his study he divided the subjects into three categories: high dairy/high calcium, high calcium and low calcium. Zemel's study found that subjects eating the high-dairy diet lost 70 percent more body weight and 64 percent more body fat than those individuals on the low-calcium diet.
Hooper says calcium plays a role in weight maintenance and reduced medical costs and that people can get their biggest source of calcium from dairy. The nutrients in milk are undeniable because dairy products are naturally nutrient rich.
The controversy lies in hormone-injections and weight loss.
Back on the farm
Whether everything Noffke says is based on scientific fact, the attitude at Skyview Farm is hard to resist. Lazy, wellfed cows walk aimlessly about the pas-
ture. They are unstressed, free and healthy.
While heating curds and whey to make mozzarella cheese, Noffke opens her refrigerator and pulls out a white plate displaying pure butter the color of an egg yolk. She smiles and tells me that when cows are grass-fed, their butter turns bright yellow. She puts back the plate after I rejects her offer of a taste. Instead, she reaches for the raw milk and pours me a small glass. I feel nervous because of all the germs and bacteria I've read about that make their home in the liquid, but I take a sip and realize what I've been missing. It tastes fresh, cold and thick. Maybe it's the idea of the cows' freedom that does a subconscious dance on my tongue, but it tastes so much better than store-bought milk. I swirl it around, coating the glass like a good wine, and swallow the rest of the sample. Noffke looks at me, eagerly awaiting my reaction. "It is good," I say, while I secretly pray that I would not become violently ill.
Days later, I'm fine and craving a glass of raw milk.

Spinning with Scottie Mac By Ashley Michaels, Jayplay writer
Sitting across from Scott McIntire, there is no question that he is hip-hop through and through. With his white and black pin-stripe G-Unit jumpsuit, white G-Unit baseball cap, silver chains, diamond earrings, diamond watch and diamond bracelet, he has the whole package.
Around Lawrence, this 23-year-old is known by another name, DJ Scottie Mac. With dreams much bigger than this town's confinements, his success to date has made these dreams seem a reality.
Born in Mesa, Ariz., on Sept. 15, 1981, McIntire moved to Osawatomie when he was 12 years old. "I went from a town of a couple million to a town of about 5,500," he says. Graduating from Osawatomie High School as valedictorian helped him earn an academic scholarship to the University of Kansas as a premed student. Halfway through his sophomore year, he realized he was unhappy and changed his major to business. Still, something was missing.
To fill this void, he embraced his passion for music. McIntire threw parties for his friends and always provided the music.
"People started paying me to come to their parties and play the music for them," he says.
Before he came to college, he described himself as a normal small-town guy who listened to rock. That changed with the release of Eminem's second CD. "The Marshall Mathers LP came out, and I fell in love with hip-hop music," he says. "I could relate to his lyrics, and his music became my remedy."
Seeing Eminem's success has motivated Scottie Mac to stay in the game. "He is just a white man coming up in a black man's industry," McIntire says. "He's my inspiration."
With a newfound love for hip-hop and an amateur DJ career kicking off, McIntire signed with Blue Moon Entertainment to start his DJ career right. He first appeared at Johnny's Tavern in Lawrence in August 2003. After that, he was on a roll, booking gigs and drawing big crowds at nearly every bar and club in Lawrence. "I go to where DJ Scottie Mac is because I know there will always be a crowd and I know that he will always play good music to
keep the crowd there," says Cherry Lippold, Independence senior.
Things were going well, but Montire still wasn't satisfied. He wanted more.
He left Blue Moon Entertainment to sign with 151 Entertainment in December 2003. Under Ronald Ruiz, owner of 151 entertainment, McIntire learned what he needed to know to become a great DJ. Ruiz had the connections and the equipment that McIntire needed to set it off. "I picked Scott up for a lot of reasons," Ruiz says. "Mainly his talent for music. He has the ability to pick out songs that are good before they are hits and he has great social skills. Those qualities make him a great DJ." In January 2004, DJ Scotty Mac and 151 Entertainment started opening for different artists in the Lawrence and Kansas City area. This was just the beginning.
His success just keeps rising. Future shows include opening for artists such as the Ying Yang Twins, Guerilla Black, Fabolous and T.I. In April, DJ Scottie Mac is opening for Nelly at a bone marrow drive. On Jan. 1, 2005, he started his own Web site and production company, DTA Records. Visitors to the site will have the ability to send him audio, purchase and download his mixes, check his calendar and book him online.
During spring break 2004, McIntire opened for Juvenile at a club in Austin, Texas. In summer 2004, he did a party for T.J. Ford, Milwaukee Buck point guard and former University of Texas player, also in Austin. In November 2004, he traveled to several Kansas City schools with Ja Kwon for his "Rock the Vote" tour. Other big shows include opening for Tech N9ne and The Executioners. He was also the DJ for the Monster Bash Halloween Party of Kansas City radio station Hot 103 Jamz.
McIntire knows what he wants and is taking the steps to get there. His goal is to own his own record label and promote his own artists. "I want to be the white Russell Simmons—stay behind the scenes and make all the money," he says. He has no aspirations to continue working in the DJ business. He says he's just using it as a gateway to success.

Cocktail of the week
Hot Whiskey Toddy
1 tablespoon honey
3/4 glass tea
2 shots whiskey
1 slice lemon
1 teaspoon sugar
Get drunk and cure that lingering headache from last night's booze binge. Sound too good to be true? Maybe so, but don't tell the Irish that. After all, they've been claiming for centuries that a glass of Guinness a day will give Superman-like strength to the average Joe (though this theory has never been proven). Keeping barroom

e in mind, here's another crafty concoction from the Guinness-guzzling Irish, which any Irish man will tell you is a cure for the common cold: the Hot Toddy. The Hot Toddy
was originally an Asian creation—communities in Southeast Asia made a fermented liquor out of the sweet sap of several tropical Asian palm trees, especially *palmyra*, about 150 years ago. With world trade routes opening up around the turn of the 20th century, *palmyra* sap reached Ireland. In no time at all, the Irish were welcoming this drink into pubs across their country, modifying the contents along the way. Now, there are more than two-dozen varieties of this curious cocktail—among them the Christmas Toddy, the Hot Brandy Toddy, the Hot Rum Toddy and the Galliano Toddy—and the list keeps growing. So, next time you visit your favorite pub, order a Hot Toddy of your liking and put it down for good health (sort of)!
Pour whiskey and tea into a tall Collins glass 3/4 full. Add sugar and boiling water. Mix in honey and whiskey shots. Add lemon slice and enjoy.

The Phoggy Dog
Location: 2228 Iowa St.
In between bites of my less-than-stellar turkey club I look up to read a banner hung on one of the walls that states "Beware of the Dog." I secretly think it should say "Beware of the mediocre food." Located at the former site of Bubba's "Cuz you just never know" Bar, I'm at least glad to see that the clientele isn't the grisled, Nascar-loving, NRA card-toting types that Bubba's used to attract. Since the Phoggy Dog's birth on October 13, 2004, co-owner and KU alumnus Danny Williams has tried to create more of a college-friendly atmosphere. So far, this seems to be working, though a few of the hardcore Bubba's patrons lurk near the Dog's bar. The atmosphere is decidedly sporty and the layout of the bar is reminiscent of a scaled-down It's Brothers. Booze hounds from all over Lawrence flock to the Dog on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and most recently Wednesday nights when $3 domestic beer pitchers are up for grabs. Considering Fatso's is no longer offering$ 1 anythings on Wednesday nights, Williams is hoping the Dog will be the new Wednesday-night watering-hole. Not really my kind of place but I might have to give the Dog another try.

Hide and Seek (1/2)
R, 105 minutes, Southwinds 12.
It's often hard to be enthusiastic about horror films of late, unless they're Japanese or Japanese remakes. However, Hide and Seek is an exception—an intelligent horror that does not rely on special effects or flashy set pieces to get the audience's hearts racing.
David Callaway (Robert DeNiro) not only has to deal with his wife's death but also his daughter Emily's (Dakota Fanning) imaginary friend, Charlie. Try as he might, Charlie will not go away. With strange things happening, it turns out Charlie is perhaps more real that David suspects, and his plans are more sinister.
The film works because it uses classic techniques to instill fear—such as not knowing what lies behind closed doors, and close-ups of the characters so that we are unable to see what is coming up behind them. Like the best horror movies, the filmmaking is quiet and observing rather than being styled and fast-paced. What often makes a horror film scary is not knowing what is going to happen in certain situations, and in this respect the
Alone In The Dark (✩)

Christian Slater stars as paranormal detective Edward Carnbury who comes face to face with his past, and a number of horrific monsters, when a crazy professor opens a door to the dark side of the world. Aided by museum curator played by Tara Reid, he uses ancient artifacts to uncover the mystery. From the advertising, I thought this was a horror film, but it turned out to be another shallow action movie.

T
film delivers fully. It is the first time I have heard people scream in the cinema. And not just once, two or three times.
The performances add much to the film—I don't know who is better, DeNiro or Fanning. Each played their part brilliantly. Fanning's facial expressions leave you both mesmerized and shocked at the same time. Unpredictable and full of tension, perhaps the only flaw is that the last 10 minutes are needless. They slightly diminish the overall effect of the film, but as a whole it still stands as the year's best horror movie.

from a video game. The characters are uninteresting and annoying, especially Tara Reid's character who is still wandering around like she's in one of the *American Pie* movies. Slater is not much better—what is he doing? He used to make good films. The only semi-decent performance came from Stephen Dorff as commander Burke, but even he couldn't save the film. Even the action sequences seem unoriginal, most looking like bad rip-offs of *Aliens* and *Indiana Jones*. By the last sequence, the film has become tiresome as we focus on characters we don't know or care about.
I felt very much in the dark for most of the film, but not alone—there were five other people in the cinema, although one of them left before the end. Maybe fans of the game will pick up on more than I did.

onto one of his hands. Soon his fellow machinists are whispering conspiratorially about him, and someone begins pasting hangman's notes with ominous missing letters on his fridge — clues that may unlock the secret surrounding Trevor's sleepless nights.
Starts tomorrow at Liberty Hall
Christian Bale famously shed 60 pounds to play the part of Trevor Reznik, a paranoid, emaciated insomniac. When we first meet him in Brad Anderson's dark-as-midnight thriller The Machinist, Trevor hasn't slept in a year.
Anderson suffuses the movie with atmosphere and dread. Directing a script by Scott Kosar, Hollywood's go-to guy for horror remakes (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror), the filmmaker works with metallic colors and deep shadows, audaciously visualizing Trevor's gloomy mindspace.
Bale, who was so indelible as the serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, performs an astonishing disappearing act. His commitment to his craft is humbling an even a little frightening.
While The Machinist's puzzle pieces add up to less than they should, they do fit perfectly.
Trevor works as a factory drone in a nameless American city, where industrialization has produced a perpetually cloudy skyline. Here, he has carved out a safe routine, visiting a friendly waitress (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) at the airport café, where he always orders the same coffee and pie, and paying for the services of a beautiful prostitute (Jennifer Jason Leigh).

Q&A
with Brad Anderson
By Stephen Shupe, Jayplay senior writer
The indie filmmaker tools around with Christian Bale in The Machinist
Named one of the 10 Leading New Independent Directors to Watch by Variety magazine in 1997, Brad Anderson has directed five feature films, including the romantic comedy Next Stop Wonderland and the horror flick Session 9. His latest, The Machinist, opens in Lawrence tomorrow at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Shot in Barcelona for $5 million, The Machinist won the top prize at the Neuchatel International Fantasy Film Festival in Switzerland.
Q. Christian Bale lost 60 pounds to play the role of Trevor Reznik, the insomniac hero of The Machinist. Were you ever worried about his health?
A. A lot of people ask that, but Christian actually enjoyed the process. He lost more weight than he intended to -he planned on losing 20 pounds. He ended up losing so much that he said it was almost euphoric, where he was in this kind of Zenlike state. We didn't actually have a doctor on the set, and we probably should have.
Q. Bale is starring in Batman Begins this summer. Did your shooting schedule conflict at all?
A. He got the role of Batman after we wrapped. It worked out because he came back three or four months later to shoot the flashback scene, and he'd bulked up for Batman. So it kind of worked to our advantage.
Q. The Machinist has been compared to Fight Club. Do you worry about similarities to other films when you're directing?
Q. In what genre would you place The Machine?
A. There's a similarity to Fight Club, but the intention with this film was to do something more character-driven than a big thriller. I was thinking more about Alfred Hitchock, Roman Polanski or Stanley Kubrick, filmmakers who try to create a real sense of dread and paranoia in the audience.
A. Classifying it as a horror film is deceptive, because people will think of Nightmare on Elm Street. It's more of a study of one man's horrific journey. I would call it a psychological mystery.
I like horror movies, but I'm more interested in the psychological nature of horror. The best horror movies deal with the monster inside, rather than some external threat. That's much more scary than a chain-saw wielding maniac, because you can't defeat your inner demons.
Q. The film has a kind of timeless, placeless quality. Do you agree?
A. The idea of it being timeless or placeless is something I wanted. What you get is this kind of weird, quasi-American reality. I think that's appropriate to a story about a guy who doesn't really know where he exists. I wanted the audience to ask, "Who's the sleepless, emaciated killer in my town?" Everyone has one.
Brad Anderson watches a take from the director's chair. The Machinist is Anderson's fifth feature film,

Buried Inside Chronoclast
Straight out of Ottawa, Canada, Buried Inside throws down with some ridiculous sludge metal mayhem on their third full-length effort, Chronoclast. Produced by Matt Bayles (The Blood Brothers, Isis, These Arms Are Snakes), the album was originally written to be a single 40-minute onslaught, but after rethinking this concept the band decided that the world wasn't quite ready. Three years later the evil is finally unveiled on 10 smoothly interwoven tracks. The slaying guitar riffs are relentless and dark enough to make dudes who wear capes cast spells on each other; balanced out by some disgusting groove-oriented crunches hard and fast enough so the kids with backpacks can practice their floor-punching. If you're sick of the same old metal formula, check out the song "Time as Imperialism" which has stringed-orchestra interludes that give off a bizarre Middle-Age warrior feel that is crunked as hell and sure to get the party started.
Front man Andrew Tweedy's vocals sound like a mother Raptor who just caught somebody stealing her eggs and is ready to ravage every last creature on
earth. It's time to make the earth shake and dig up some graves with Buried Inside as they start the year offright for the rest of us suckers who are just begging to be owned. These dudes are pissed off, and the fury ebbs and flows throughout, giving you just enough time to catch your breath before the next storm erupts and they light the shit on fire again.
Four words. Don't fuck with Canada.

Their first single, "Shut it Out" is one of the most up-tempo songs on the album yet it's certainly not one of the better songs. It's apparent that the band chose to conform to their genre by releasing the most pop-sounding track rather than one of the better more lyrical songs on the

The fact that their sound is generic to their genre of music does not mean that they are not good musicians or singers.

However, like many bands that feature just one member on vocals many of the tracks begin to sound very similar by the end of the CD.
Olivia The Band features four childhood friends who were inspired to create music of their own upon returning to their Oahu homes from a concert. After high school Olivia The Band relocated to San Diego to pursue their pop/punk music careers. Sound generic? It is, along with the sound of their music.
Olivia The Band has talent and potential that's reflected in their debut album. Yet to go beyond where they are now they need to set themselves apart from other bands, which they failed to do in this album.

I learned so much from *Mercenaries*, mindlessly blowing things up is fun, but I knew that. That's why I wanted this game. Calling in an air strike just to see a building become a pile of dust feels terrific, beyond the destruction is a solid game.
训练
In the game you are a mercenary in the border between North and South Korea. You accept contracts from different factions—Americans, South Koreans, Chinese and the Russian Mafia—and in return for your services you will receive payment and intelligence. The intel helps you locate and capture or kill key members of the North Korean dictatorship government. Locating your target means you can capture and have them airlifted for interrogation or kill them. Killing them means you only receive half the bounty and it's not as rewarding.
One thing I learned the hard way is that

in Korea bushes are the natural enemy of tanks. A tank can destroy any building or vehicle but running into a bush or a tree can flip it. The ally "Al" could have used some work. Your allies in *Mercenaries* make your allies in Halo 2 look like Steven Seagal.
Although this game had a couple flaws, it was worth it. Hijacking a tank in the middle of a firefight and using it to destroy everything never gets tired. I played for about 20 hours and had only captured 23 of the 52 targets and had fun with every capture. If you like Grand Theft Auto or war games you should definitely accept this contract.

KOTOR 1, all of the Jedi have been wiped out in the Jedi Civil War with Malak. The Jedi Order is no more. You, an exiled Jedi, are the only one who hasn't chosen which path to take. You must do your best to try to regain your connection to the Force and find out what has happened.
You still have the free will to decide which side to take; the Light Side or the Dark Side. With each choice is presented to you, you decide what do say to the people and depending on their reactions, decide what type of person you will become. As you travel to more planets, you will meet more people who will join you on your journey. One major feature the game boasted this time was that your decisions will also affect your team's alliance with you. In order to change their alliance, you must gain influence with them. You do this by talking to them and
saying things they way you think they want to hear. Some characters like you to be sympathetic, while others would prefer you to use more brute force to solve matters. For example, one character in a situation would like it if you would use a grenade to "cleanse" the filth from a cainta. Deciding what to do in this situation can make you gain or lose influence.

Choices like this also affect your Light and Dark alignment as well.
KOTOR 2 is a solid RPG. It has great character development, great storyline and tons of things to uncover. This game could give Halo 2 run for its money in the realm of Xbox. I actually stopped playing the first Halo and picked up the first KOTOR.

All right! Another game based on an anime series! The anime/game crossover needs a break before any more attempts are made. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is based on the series of the same name, which is based on the movie, Ghost in the Shell. As its name implies, the game is "stand alone," or a completely different entity and separate from the movie/show. The game is set in the future where, as they say, being human has come down to a science. A majority of the people are heavily augmented with cybernetic brains and bodies. They are still considered human, however, because their

combo over and over again, always finishing with a slo-mo kick to the face. The combat is just as tedious as the missions and lacks any real depth. The story is confusing and not well conveyed to the player. As I played, people asked me what I was supposed to be doing, and I replied to all with the same answer: "I have no frickin' idea." I would like to be able to recommend this to those who enjoy the show, but they would just be disappointed as would most anybody else. The game can be entertaining for awhile, but just doesn't deliver the goods.

Forever 5
Continuing the joys of childhood
By Meredith Desmond, Jayplay writer
FIRST OF OCTOBER
Illustration by Scott Drummond
When I was in kindergarten, I had it made. We all did. Life was simple: go to school, goof around with friends, drink milk, draw a picture, read a book, take a nap, punch the boys and giggle, go home, eat cheese and crackers and watch Nickelodeon.
It's a stage of life we're all expected to outgrow. When I was in high school, I wanted to. I couldn't wait to grow up, get a job and go to work every day, because I thought I was way too mature for that high school crap. But somewhere between then and my last semester of college, I've noticed an unmistakable regression in my personality. I've found that I'm back to doing all the same silly things I did when I was 5 years old. I still giggle and whine and sit in front of the TV and watch cartoons. I still live for naps and punch boys when I have a crush on them. The only difference now is that I'm writing two papers, stressing about work and trying to balance my checkbook all at the same time. (Well, that,
and I've gone global with my snacking preferences - my sophisticated tastes lead me in the direction of chips and salsa). My heart is still in kindergarten while my head is forcing me to grow up and face the real world.
Simple activities challenge me because I have the mentality of a child. Like when I go downtown: Do I want to have a beer, or do I want an ice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles? Most of the time, I choose ice cream. I've always been a sugar addict. When I was little, I used to dramatically throw myself against the freezer door because I so desperately needed some ice cream. To this day, I need ice cream to survive. I'll throw my hand on my forehead, palm facing out, as if I am short of breath, and melodramatically gasp "ice cream cone." And if I don't get one, you can bet that I'll pout and whine and stomp my feet – because in my bratty, schoolgirl mind, that'll fix it.
When I'm cranky, I can find escape in my
TV. Eighty percent of my daily television consumption is made up of cartoons. Sure I spend the other 20 percent educating myself or watching something not totally mindless, but cartoon time is my time. Most cartoons are only 15 minutes long, so it's a double bonus that rewards my short attention span and my need to be entertained. If I had a dime for every time I got a blank stare and a “you're 21 years old, Meredith,” I'd have at least enough money to buy a whole lot of gummy worms. So what if I have the entire "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" library on DVD? I embrace my ability to escape life by watching talking meatballs. Isn't that what TVs were invented for anyway?
I guess I can thank my parents for this, because they're the same way. My mom, who always let me lick the bowl when she made a cake and kept the house stocked with plenty of chocolate, is responsible for my vicious sweet tooth. My dad is a full-grown man who does bizarre dances in
parking lots for no reason and thinks his poop jokes are the funniest thing since comedy was invented. And I laugh, too. Neither of us can grow up. But who's to say we have to? The public tends to view adults with childlike qualities as creepy (think Michael Jackson), but I want to prove that it's perfectly OK to be young at heart. It's important to maintain a sense of wonder and act childish sometimes, even if only as a simple reminder that life doesn't always have to be as complicated as adulthood makes it. Kids are cool because they act completely on feeling, and while that can get me in trouble, it endears me to people. I may dance around and sing silly songs and giggle uncontrollably sometimes, but I live a responsible adult life and I get things done. Of course, the whole time, I'm secretly dreaming of overdosing on sugar and soda and sleeping off the high. And maybe when I wake up, I'll make myself a big bowl of ice cream and turn on the Cartoon Network.

Self assesses Giles' injuries
BY MIRENDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANALAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
"They are a good team, and it is another challenge on the road," senior guard Mike Lee said. "They played a good game against us at home, and we lost to them last year. So we are working hard to get ready for them."
The Kansas men's basketball team met yesterday for the first time since its victory against Missouri on Monday night. The Jayhawks took Tuesday off, but were back on the court yesterday, preparing to hit the road to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday.
Yes, the same Nebraska team that was one three-point shot at the buzzer away from upsetting Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 19. The team that defeated the Jayhawks, 74-55, last year at Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Neb.
With that on their minds, the Jayhawks were all business yesterday.
C. J. Giles may be more ready than anybody else. The freshman forward has been nothing more than a spectator on the Kansas
He didn't suit up for the Jayhawks' last three games because of a severely bruised right foot, and he played only a combined five minutes in Kansas' two prior games.
bench for about two-and-a-half weeks.
Giles said that he came down on his foot wrong after an alleyoop dunk during the Kentucky game Jan. 9. He played 21 minutes in the Jayhawks' next contest against the Iowa State Cyclones on Jan. 12, but he realized the injury was more serious during practice after the Colorado game on Jan. 15. Shortly thereafter, he began wearing an orthopedic boot on his right foot.
The boot has helped minimize the pain and swelling so much that Giles said he expected to be ready to play this weekend.
"I am not all the way there, but I should be by Saturday," he said.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that Giles could play only if he practiced yesterday.
"If he isn't prepared to play, 'I won't play him'. "Self said. "But I am certainly hopeful that he can practice in the next day or two."
Before practice yesterday,
Giles was boot-free and said he
would participate in some half-court drills.
Giles' injury poses a significant problem because it may have set him back in the rotation, forcing him to have to earn his way back into the Kansas line-up. Before the injury, Giles had emerged as the front-runner of the freshman big men, starting three games for the Jayhawks when senior forward Wayne Simien was out with an injured thumb.
But after practically no playing time in five games, Giles may find himself behind fellow freshman Sasha Kaun, who has surfaced as the first big man off the bench.
Kaun has played at least 11 minutes in each of the last five games, while averaging six points and three rebounds per game.
Self said he expected Giles to be in the line-up, but he said that his injury could affect the amount of minutes he will play in the immediate future.
"I don't think it was very timely for C.J," Self said. "But we need a shot-blocker and an alterer and an athlete up front, so I think if he is healthy, and when he gets back in the groove, I still see him getting
back into our rotation."
Freshman Alex Galindo, who has an injured groin, will probably not be as lucky. Self said he didn't expect the freshman forward to be available for Saturday's game. But he also said that Galindo's groin injury was not as serious as the one Simien suffered last year.
"It is not quite as severe because Wayne's bothered him all year," Self said. "And Alex could progress to that, but I don't know if it is to that stage vet.
Speaking of Simien, Self said the power forward was ready to play without a cast. Simien has been playing with some form of cast on his left hand since his return to the court on Jan. 12. He had surgery to prepare ligaments on his left thumb on Dec. 20.
Simien played his first couple of games back wearing a rather bulky cast, and has recently moved to a smaller one. From there, Self said Simien would probably use just tape. But in the meantime, Simien has to lose the cast.
"It is time for that one to come off," Self said.

the tradition of Kansas basketball. Forty-eight hours later, while calling the Michigan State vs. Illinois game Tuesday night, he was still talking about how much class Kansas had.
With that in mind, Self simply wants the profanities to stop.
"I'll plead to the students now," Self said. "Any type of profanity should not be chanted."
He encouraged the fans to be creative instead of derogatory. "There are enough creative things that we can do," Self said. "They should come up with something clever."
Senior guards Mike Lee and
Aaron Miles said the chants didn't bother them, but they said they recognized that it might reflect poorly on the program.
"It would be perceived as more classless than anything else," Lee said.
But Lee said part of the reason that it didn't bother him was because the Missouri fans "are the worst fans I've ever witnessed."
Miles pointed to a situation during his junior year when the Kansas football team defeated Missouri
"A 70 year-old man who was a Missouri fan punched a student," Miles said.
Self said he didn't want Kansas fans to stoop to that level. He also doesn't want an action to take away from the unique atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse.
"Nobody enjoys a great home court more than me, and no one appreciates the student body being involved in the game more than me," Self said. "I respect the fact that they camp out and donate their time. That's what makes this place special, but I do think that if you get into vulgarity it takes away from how special this place is."

Daisy Hill residents investigated
Three law enforcement agencies are currently investigating two KU students suspected of making fake IDs.
Agents from Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, the Secret Service and U.S. Postal Inspectors served a search warrant at 10:45 p.m. Tuesday at room 653 in Ellsworth Hall, according to a KU Public Safety Office report.
The KU Public Safety Office only assisted the other law enforcement agencies with the execution of the warrant, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office.
Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations, confirmed that the residents were suspected of making fake IDs and said that the University was cooperating with the law enforcement agencies investigating the case.
Tom Groneman, director of Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, said details of the case were not available because the case was still under investigation.
"The University applauds the efforts of the Alcoholic Beverage Control and its work in eliminating the production of fake IDs on campus," Cohen said.
Cohen said that the University could not comment on any disciplinary action being taken.

Law student, humanitarian dies from brain cancer
He created a Web site dedicated to raising money for cancer research.
He focused on how fortunate he was compared to those he was helping, even though Keenan himself was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Keenan, Ness City third-year law student, died Monday morning from cancer. He was 26.
He provided food and clothing to a girl in the Philippines through an adoption program. And recently, he donated money to tsunami victims.
People will remember him most for his motivation to beat cancer and to complete his law degree. Brown said.
Surrounded by friends and professors, a tearful Keenan received his diploma on Jan. 28 in his home in Lawrence.
Brown knew her fiancee had a limited amount of time left to live and was 13 credits short of a diploma, so she requested an honorary law degree for him.
"He said there was nothing more he wanted than to get his J.D. and to beat cancer," Brown said. "That was probably one of the happiest days of his life."
Andy Keenan wanted to help the unfortunate.
In addition to presenting Keenan with his degree, the law school awarded him the Outstanding Inspiration Award for faith, courage, strength and humanitarianism.

Class absences and hacking coughs have been common lately at the University of Kansas.
Briana McAtee, Wichita senior, has seen it firsthand.
"It went through me, then my roommates, then their friends. It all happened so quickly," she said.
The flu and other illnesses have taken the hill by storm. Watkins Memorial Health Center has signs warning the possible need to wear a mask while in the building.
Twenty-three cases of the flu have been confirmed at Watkins Health Center since the first day of the spring semester. Twenty cases confirmed at Watkins were Type A, the most common and easily treatable form of the virus, said Myra Strother, Watkins chief of staff.
"It's reassuring, and if this keeps up, we won't even have to give the test anymore." Strother said.
She encouraged students to watch for flu symptoms, and see a physician as soon as possible to get treatment. Proper nutrition, health care, and

Program gives voice to HALO issues
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egarcia@kansan.com
KANSAN SAST WRITER
Last night nine students in the Hispanic American Leadership Organization hosted four University officials in the Collegiate Leadership and Development Program. The United States Hispanic Leadership Institute designed the program to get Hispanic students and University officials to discuss issues that affect Hispanics on campus. Paul Mason, assistant dean of the business school,
Hispanic students are speaking out and making a place for themselves in the minds of University of Kansas administrators.
The program is designed to take place in three-hour sessions during the course of seven weeks. Andrea Pantoja, president of HALO, wants to turn this program into a class.
"I hope we brought some ideas," Pantoja, Mission junior, said. "I was thinking a one-credit-hour class that would be beneficial for the leadership minor."
Shanda Hayden, academic adviser Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, and Cindy Derritt, University registrar, attended the meeting.
One of the major issues discussed during the meeting was the growing number of bilingual students or students who have only Spanish-speaking
parents. Roney spoke of the need for bilingual employees and publications and she mentioned the use of offering Spanish-language courses for employees as more Hispanic students enroll at the University.
The students also asked Derritt about a bill that would allow undocumented students access to in-state tuition. She said the registrar's office wanted those students to be comfortable applying for in-state tuition without fearing their records being subpoenaed by the Immigration and Naturalization Services.
Other HALO chapters have had success with the CLDP program. Naureen Kazi, former president of the HALO chapter at Kansas State University, said
once the administration saw that they took the program seriously, the Hispanic community on campus was able to make a difference, because the university's administration would ask it for advice on what to do on Hispanic recruitment.
"Because of the program, some changes have happened through our members," Kazi said. "You don't see as drastic change that quickly."
In order to participate in the program students must sign a contract stating you will show up for six of the seven programs. Students must also be enrolled full-time at the University and a registered voter.

Tokyowoodblockprintseries on display atcampusmuseum
The Spencer Museum of Art, 1301 Mississippi St., will open Tokyo: The Imperial Capital, an exhibition of woodblock prints by Japanese artist Koizumi Kishio, tomorrow.
This woodblock print series shows the reconstruction of Tokyo after a major earthquake in 1923. This reconstruction helped to make Japan a world power in the early 20th century.
The series depicts Japan's thrust in modernity from the reconstruction, said Hillary Perderson, Asian art intern and doctorate student in Japanese art history.
Kishio's prints show airports, office buildings and bridges. Pederson said.
One print, an image of an execution ground, is open to political interpretation.
"It can be seen as pretty nationalistic," Pederson said. "Or it can be seen as a warning against militarism."
In addition to Kishio's work the museum has its own permanent collection of Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo period, 1615 to 1868.
These prints show pleasure districts of Kyoto, Peterson said.
"I wanted to draw a parallel from the old Tokyo and the new Tokyo," Pederson said.
Kishio's woodblocks are on a national touring exhibition on loan from The Wolfsonian-Florida International University.
The woodblock prints will be on display in the art museum until March 20.

Contested attorney general confirmed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Alberto Gonzales won U.S. Senate confirmation yesterday as attorney general. Confirmation came despite democratic accusations that he helped formulate White House policies that led to overseas prisoner abuse and was too beholden to President Bush to be the nation's top law enforcement official.
The Senate voted 60-36 to put the first Hispanic ever into the job, with all of the "no" votes coming from Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independent Jim Jeffords of Vermont. Last week, 12 Democrats and Jeffords voted against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's confirmation.
Gonzales replaces John Ashcroft, who won more Democratic support four years ago despite contentious stances on a number of issues. Eight Democrats voted for Ashcroft, while six voted for Gonzales.
Justice Department spokeswoman Tasia Scolinos.
He was sworn in around 6 p.m. EST as the nation's 80th attorney general by Vice President Dick Cheney in a private ceremony in the White House, said
Republicans and some Democrats praised Gonzales' life story: the grandson of Mexican immigrants who worked his way up to being President Bush's top lawyer in the White House.
U. S. Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Florida), the first Cuban-American senator, even broke with Senate tradition and praised Gonzales in Spanish on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
Democrats praised Gonzales as well, but many said they couldn't look past his participation in administration policies they said had led to abuses that occurred in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. They also complained that he refused to answer their questions on how those policies were created inside the White House.
At first, many Democrats had joined Republicans in praising the former state judge who traveled with Bush to Washington after the president's 2000 victory.
"When Mr. Gonzales was nominated several weeks ago, I didn't know a single member of this body, Republican or Democrat, who had expressed any
intention to vote against this nominee." said Christopher Dodd (D- Connecticut).
But some Democrats turned against him after he sidestepped questions on what advice he gave Bush and other administration officials on the interrogation methods that could be used on suspected terrorists or witnesses.
Some Democrats contended that Gonzales' January 2002 memo as White House counsel led to the abuse of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Pressed on the issue, Gonzales defended language in which he labeled as "quaint" some of the Geneva Conventions' human rights protections for prisoners of war and said they did not extend to Al Qaeda and other suspected terrorists.
But he also declared, "Torture and abuse will not be tolerated by this administration." He told senators that, as attorney general, he would "ensure the Department of Justice aggressively pursues those responsible for such abhorrent actions."
Gonzales shouldn't be a scapegoat for what happened overseas, Republicans said.

Conference raises global awareness
BY DANI LITT

DLITT'S STAFF WRITER
More than 2,000 world leaders in politics, business, entertainment and academia attended the World Economic Forum last week in Davos, Switzerland.
Among them was the University of Kansas' own Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
"The purpose of the conference is to create awareness of global issues that have to be solved to have a successful 21st century." Hemenway said.
The theme of the forum was making tough choices in the global world. The topics discussed including world poverty, Africa and international

health care.
Specifically about health care, Hemenway said there was a lot of discussion about malaria, AIDS and tuberculosis.
Hemenway's invitation to the conference was arranged by KU alumnus Mark Booth, CEO of
NetJets Europe in London.
Though university presidents do attend, it was rare for a chancellor from the Midwest to be invited.
Actor Richard Gere and U2's Bono also attended and gave speeches at the conference about AIDS and Africa, respectively.
"It was an extraordinary experience," he said. "It was so stimulating to be around that I didn't worry about things like eating and sleeping."
Hemenway said the conference encouraged those in attendance to think globally.
Hemenway said the conference made him more aware of how integrated the world had become.
"What happens in Africa affects what happens in the
United States, which affects what happens in Russia, which affects what happens in England, which affects what happens in Iceland," he said.
Hemenway said he would use his experience to educate students more about international affairs.
Hemenway also went to London to meet with KU alumni and other possible donors as an effort for fundraising.
"I am going to push stronger for an international curriculum that prepares students better to enter the global world," he said.
"I am very optimistic we'll be able to create some professorships out of our efforts," he said.

Train cars derail in fiery accident
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WELLSVILLE — A west bound Burlington Northern Sante Fe Corp. train rearended a second westbound train yesterday afternoon, derailing several cars — including one that was engulfed in flames — and injuring one crewman.
Steve Forsberg, a spokesman for Burlington Northern, said a third train, headed east, then stuck some of the derailed cars. Burlington Northern crews were at the scene and working to uncover what happened, he said, and it wasn't immediately
clear from which trains the derailed cars came.
"That's part of the missing piece to the puzzle," he said.
Forsberg said the derailment occurred on the railroad's main line, a set of parallel tracks, about 45 miles south of Burlington Northern's rail yard in Kansas City, Kan. The tracks run along Interstate 35 at that point, about a mile east of Wellsville.
A crewman on the train that rear-ended the westbound train was injured, but Forsberg said that man was walking around and his injuries were not life-threatening.

Universitywelcomes highschool musicians
High school musicians from all over the nation will experience university life this weekend.
The third annual Prairie Wind Festival will attract about 150 band students for a weekend of classes and rehearsals taught by University of Kansas music students and faculty.
In addition to music instruction the festival is also a recruitment tool that has, in the past, attracted about 10 students to the University, said band director John Lynch.
"We think it's important to show the social aspects of KU as well as musical." Lynch said
Visiting students will spend time visiting downtown Lawrence.
The festival is set up as an honor band for all-state music students, said Langston Hemenway, Lexington, Ky., graduate student instructing woodwind sections.
"I really wish I had something like this when I was in high school," he said.
He was a band conductor in Texas for three years before coming to the University.
The students arriving today will practice throughout the weekend until Sunday's performance, he said.
"It's almost how a professional ensemble works with only a few rehearsals before the performance," Hemenway said.
There will be a free concert featuring the high school students at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Lied Center. The students will be split into groups, blue and red, and each group will perform.
Lynch said Weiss would lead graduate students in a conducting clinic.
"He is a really talented, engaging personality," Lynch said. "He will help them reach their best level performance."
The department of music and dance is hosting the festival.

EDITORIAL BOARD

University modus operandi: Fix problems with Band-Aids
Students at the University of Kansas have plenty to be proud of. The University's outstanding academic character, first-rate professors, innovative student leaders and a pretty good basketball team all contribute to this swelling pride. Talking with any Kansas student or alumnus says how special it is to be a part of a community that is closely-knit, both literally and figuratively. Students have experienced this close community since day one in the form of lines.
Dictionary.com defines a line as "a geometric figure formed by a point moving along a fixed direction and the reverse direction."
Everyone realizes these so-called lines are inevitable when dealing with administrative or bureaucratic processes here at the University or anywhere.
But while the argument can be made that standing in long, arduous lines brings the student and administrative bodies closer together, these lines can be just a little too close for comfort.
Take the newly-renovated Underground on the first floor of Wescoe Hall for example. There is no better place on campus where the KU community can come together and feel like one big happy family — particularly during peak eating hours of the day. Some days it even feels like the entire KU family has stopped by to get something to eat — reminiscent of Thanksgiving in the cramped dining room of a grandparent's house.
Those at the end of the line may finish last in the race for seats, eating their food before it becomes cold. But why does the student body have to stress about squeezing into these confined lines? Students have enough problems to stress about during the day.
Students have already begun asking why the Underground was improved but not innovatively expanded. Was this effort by the University just another Band-Aid solution, or was it permanent? The student body unfortunately has also found a similar problem at the new Student Recreation Fitness Center.
The $17 million, 98,000-square-foot recreation center, funded by student fees, opened in the fall of 2003.
While it certainly is a spectacular marvel as compared with Robinson Center, the recreation center has experienced its share of problems during the past several months. The biggest of which are once again lines — lines for racquetball, basketball and weight equipment.
During the recreation center's peak hours, it is nearly impossible for students to fit in a workout or enjoy any aspect of the center. Recent plans entail a $6.1 million, 50,000-square-foot addition to the center. But when these plans will come into fruition is uncertain.
Bargaining between students and administration will likely persist on this issue over money and space.
The editorial board recognizes that the improvements to the Underground and the building of the new recreation center were significant enhancements to the KU community. Students waited for these improvements, but even after these renovations and additions, it seems they are still waiting. Will the University find a permanent solution?
Students may have to continue to wait in line and see. Either students do that, or they can work to pry this Band-Aid off. Because of state budget cuts in education funding, there's no alternative then for the student body to take action on this issue. A group of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students have already developed an innovative tuition plan that works to alleviate the University's Band-Aid frenzy. This type of student involvement and planning is what is needed. What are you doing to help?

Negative lyrics devalue education
Martin Luther King Jr. must be turning over in his grave. I don't remember anything in his "I Have a Dream" speech about dropping out of college.
AUSTIN. YEAH BABY!
February brings not only Black History Month, but also the 47th annual Grammy Awards. What do these events have in common? Certainly not social responsibility. On Feb. 13, we'll find out whether the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences will award Kanye West for poisoning the minds of America's youth.
West's album, "The College Dropout," garnered 10 Grammy nominations including Album of the Year and Best New Artist. The 27-year-old rapper dropped out of an art school in Chicago after only a year and shared his experiences on the album.
AUSTIN, TEAH BABY.
The lyrics poke fun at the credibility of a college education. West devalues the worthiness of a degree by saying, "All the regular homeless people have newspapers and look what I have." The quality of West's beats and rhymes deserves accolades but the message does not.
West falls into the same category as
AUSTIN CASTER
acaster@kansan.com
Einemem. Both have earned nominations and awards for their music but neither believes in social responsibility. Einemem picked up Grammys for rapping about how much he hates fags. West encourages dropping out of school. What positive messages to send to kids. These rappers make exceptional music, but they don't realize that their main audience — 12 year olds who turn on "TRL" after school — hasn't lived in the real world and can't distinguish fact from fiction. If little Johnny can score a rap deal with Roc-A-Fella records by spitting rhymes about rims, hos and getting high, why should he waste time going to college?
Mature adults may realize that this
West contributes to low enrollment of minority students in colleges, a trend in American culture.
Fewer than 10 percent of KU students are minorities, according to the University's Web site, www.ku.edu*.
If West's message changes the minds of America's youth, all the money and effort that the University spends to recruit minorities will go to waste. Black students can achieve just as much or more than their white counterparts, but they won't receive the opportunity if they never enroll.
West has started recording and will drop his second album later this year, according to Entertainment Weekly. I hope he will take into account the hard work and sacrifices of King, Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks when he selects his tracks.

Honesty best for no-strings hook-ups
SEX 101
I was in my worst version of hell. I consisted of me being stuck in a hotel room with four other gay men, having to listen to them talk about musical theater. For two hours. I don't know about you, but I don't care about the musical "Camelot" or what role anyone is suited to play in it.
Fortunately, I was drunk, or I would have tried to drown myself in the toilet. Now you may be wondering how I got myself into this position. It was one part liquor and one part curiosity. And I was at a theater conference, so you're bound to hear someone sing a bar of "Rent" — it's inevitable.
SEX 101
But in this instance, I was invited by a 28-year-old faculty adviser — from another school, mind you — and I was interested in him. That was until I heard 20 minutes of blathering about how resonance comes off the soft palate.
There was also something else that bothered me about the situation. We all knew why we were there. We wanted to hook up. This garbage was keeping us occupied until we were all sufficiently intoxicated so we wouldn't feel self-conscious about our clumsy advances.
STEPHEN MOLES smoles@kansan.com
After already having had consumed the two-drink minimum, I was sick of wading through the crap and did what any self-respecting person would do. I pulled the guy sitting next to me into the bathroom, and we made out.
Why are we so scared that we can't even say, "Hey, take off your pants" without knocking a few back? I think most would respond with "It would be awkward" or "I don't know how to do that." I wonder if it's deeper than that.
This encounter got me thinking. What's up with us? I mean "us" in the global sense. Everyone in the room knew what the others wanted. We wanted to get off, to have fun, to not worry about the night.
We don't have a vocabulary to hook up with. At least not any effective one
I've seen, Yeah, you can say "No strings attached," but what does that really mean? There's no nice way to say "Hey, I wanna screw and then never have to deal with you ever again."
Which brings me to my other point: I think we need the drinks because we want to be thought of as nice in these boots call. If you're drunk and things are weird in the morning, you can blame the booze. We all have a scapegoat, something to take the responsibility for our indiscretions.
So here's my suggestion from here on out: Be truthful.
I know, I know. It sounds way too simple. Instead of whispering alcoholic lies in someone's ears, why not just be upfront. Just say "I want to have fun tonight and not worry about it. Let's go." If they get pissed and run off in a huff, well, they weren't worth it. Why bother getting ourselves messily entangled with someone we don't really like? Just do yourself a favor, suck it up and say what you want. I guarantee it will be so much easier down the road.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii detected the quake and placed frantic warning calls. The Honolulu Advertiser thus quoted Barry Hirschorn: "We called embassies. We talked to the navy in Sri Lanka, any local government official we could get hold of." Moreover, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration worked the phones, which rang unanswered in Indonesian geological offices.
Lastly, Gor states we knew of tsunamis five hours before the earthquake. Since the earthquake triggered

Gor clearly forgoes facts due to an abiding hatred for her own country. In this time in which journalists are ranked in job credibility surveys between lawyers and used car dealers, she does her profession no favors. What's bad for the goose is bad for the gander.

The Leawood junior also convinced 100 women from her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, to get involved with the program. Kirby said that Louis was released from chemotherapy last spring and returned to Overland Park.
"As soon as the executive board applications came out at KU, I knew I had to do it," Kirby said.
The program, in its first year at the University, raised money for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
Up 'til Dawn, a student-led program at the University, raised $51,000 last semester to help children across the world who suffer from cancer.
Nat Collins, executive director of the program, said that KU ranked ninth in the nation this year on the amount of funds raised for the hospital. Collins
said that there were approximately 140 Up 'til Dawn programs at universities across the nation and that the children's hospital already had collected $2.5 million from the program this year.
The title of the program, Up 'til Dawn, represents the parents who stay up until dawn, making sure their children are all right.
"This program has been a life-changer," Collins said. "It combined my love of kids with my passion for biology."
The children's hospital takes in more than $1 million of donations per day to operate its facility. The money goes toward providing insurance for families who cannot afford it. Collins said that the program at KU had two letter-writing activities last semester to raise money for the hospital. About 350 KU students wrote 10,000 letters to family and friends asking for donations. Students also made care packages to send away to the hospital.
Collins said that the initial goal for the organization was to raise $75,000 by the end of the school year. He said that he would try to focus more on getting more off-campus and residence-hall students involved this semester because the program is
open to all KU students. Collins said that about 80 percent of the student involvement came from the greek community.
"Outside KU basketball, there's not really something that everyone flocks to," Collins said. "It's really something we want the whole campus to be involved with."
A part of the money the University raises will go to the Target House, a long-term place to stay for patients and their families, and to the Memphis Grizzlies House, a short-term place to stay for patients diagnosed for cancer.
Up 'til Dawn will host a final event on Saturday at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union to celebrate the funds that KU students gave to the children's hospital. Kate Ayars, Wichita junior, said she was looking forward to the patient speakers at the event.
"I was inspired to see how many people took part in the program," Ayars said. "I've never seen so many people I know get together to do such a wonderful thing."
The event will also include three bands and games of Twister and Singled Out.
The event is scheduled from 6 to 11 p.m Saturday.

FLU: Can be treated if caught early
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
cleanliness can help reduce the chance of infection.
If caught within 48 hours of the appearance of symptoms, the flu can be treated with antiviral medications. A test determines what form of the virus an individual has. The test is $30 at Watkins.
Lawrence-Douglas County Health Services received notice of increasing flu cases in the county but does not know the exact number of cases, said Kim Ens, health services nurse. Doctors are not required to report flu cases to health officials.
The virus is spread by droplets through coughing and sneezing. Those with the flu are contagious and need to avoid contact with others.
Other illnesses are also showing up on campus. Bronchitis, strep throat and other upper respiratory infections are becoming more common, Strother said.
Health officials are still encouraging people to get vaccinated for the flu. Watkins Health Center has FluMist, the nasal spray vaccination, available by appointment, Strother said.
Douglas County Health Services has 70 doses of the injection vaccination available during clinic hours, Ens said.
Watkins immunized at least 60 students and faculty since restrictions on the vaccination were lifted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention a week ago, Strother said.

'Insensitive'teddybears no longer sold in stores
MONTPELIER, Vt. — To the relief of advocates for the mentally ill, the Vermont Teddy Bear Co. said yesterday that its strait-jacketed "Crazy For You" bears were sold out and that it would not make any more.
For weeks, advocates and Republican Gov. James Douglas have criticized the toy as insensitive. The $69.95 bear, marketed as a Valentine's Day gift, came with a straitjacket and commitment papers.
The company said it had decided weeks ago that it would

Mental health advocates claimed victory.
"We believe the Vermont Teddy Bear Co. has come to understand the harm caused by creating an image that trivialized the pain of people with severe mental illness, and that reinforced public stereotypes regarding appropriate treatment for such individuals," four advocacy groups said in a statement.

SPORTS COMMENTARY
PENNANTS
JOE BANT
jbant@kansan.com
It took Leah Norton the better part of six years to realize that gymnastics could be a part of her life without being her life.
Six years of 24-hour practice weeks, five national titles, a disastrous move to Texas that cost her the opportunity to have a normal senior year in high school, and an injury that literally broke every bone in her hand. Six years that has brought her to where she is today.
Six years of dreams — a college scholarship, Olympic aspirations — traded for new ones — a career in broadcast journalism with maybe some gymnastics on the side.
For Norton, Salina freshman, the journey has taken her from gym queen to college student, and though the transition has been tough at times, Norton said it was one she needed to make because the sport had stopped being fun.
But she's not far from her past. Sure,
she doesn't crank out thousands of pushups and sit-ups every week like she used to, but she teaches gymnastics for 12 to 15 hours a week, and she's the vice president of the Kansas club team where she still competes occasionally. The gym is still a part of her life and always will be, it just doesn't consume her anymore, and she thinks that is a good thing.
Norton and those around her knew she was good from the very beginning. At 5, in her preschool program, she was doing things 5 year olds shouldn't be doing — round offs, back handsprings and the like — but lessons were an expensive proposition, so she took a seven-year hiatus spent tramp-jumping and doing cartwheels in her front yard.
Finally, at 12, her parents heard her pleas and enrolled her in lessons at Salina's recreation department. She remembers vividly the first time walking up to the three-story brick Memorial Hall where her lessons were held and bonding almost instantly with her new coach and teammates.
"I was the oldest and the wildest," she said. "I was fearless."
Thus began her involvement in the sport that would dominate her adolescence, and though her school grades

Quick, a Belton, Mo., junior, was 1-0 with a 3.62 ERA last season. He pitched at Stanford University before transferring to Kansas.
"I'm really excited to have a starting role and to be an impact player for this team," Quick said. "I'm very happy to be here.
Hawaii-Hilo is coming off a less-than-stellar 2004 season. The team went 9-43, which was one of the worst records in Division I. Despite that, they have the respect of junior outfielder

"Hawaii-Hilo plays teams tough," Baty said. "They have one of the most difficult schedules in the country."
Kansas opened last season with a 5-2 series win against Hawai-i Hilo en route to a 31-31-1 season and a ninth-place finish in the Big 12. In the series, Kansas outscored Hawai-i Hilo 63-39.
Coach Ritch Price is optimistic that the Jayhawk pitchers will improve on last year's effort in Hawaii, in part, because of the quality starters.

Aside from being teammates for four years, the six seniors have been through a lot together, including a coaching change three years ago.
Coach Clark Campbell credits part of the seniors' success to their willingness to accept him as their new coach.
"You know, they bought into a new coach three years ago, and I'm really humbled," Campbell said. "They're a fun, dynamic group. I hate seeing them go. I wish I could have four more years with them."

Points system implemented for football season tickets
The Kansas athletic department, who's basketball points system caused much controversy last year, will be implementing a points system for football season ticket holders.
Season ticket holders were notified this week that the points system will be implemented. In coming weeks season-ticket holders will receive details on the system and an application for season tickets, associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said.
The idea of the points system is to give the best seats to people who have the most points.
The point system is nearly identical to the system implemented for basketball tickets. Points will be calculated the same way that they are for basketball.
"Points are points, so that if you have X number of points, you have that number of points for each sport," Marchiony said. "There are not different points in football than there are in basketball."
Marchiony said, a difference between basketball and football will be that some individuals will be guaranteed a certain level of seating. Anyone who has held football season tickets for fifteen or more years and is a member of the Williams Educational Fund, will be guaranteed seats between the twenty yard lines.
The goal of the points system is to increase revenue to the Williams Fund. Marchiony estimated that about 2,500 of the 12,000 season ticket holders are not Williams Fund members.
The point system raised an additional $8 million since being introduced with basketball. Marchiony said they had no idea how much money would be raised through football.
There are several ways to get points, besides donations. Maintaining season tickets for non-revenue sports and being a K-Club member are among the other ways.
Marchiony said that the athletic department has not received complaints about the football points system at this time.

'Hawks preparing to avenge last year's loss
BY KELLE ROBINNET
krobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWEEPER
When Nebraska played Kansas earlier this year in Allen Fieldhouse no one gave the Cornhuskers a chance.
It's safe to assume no one will make that mistake again. As it turned out, Nebraska came within two points of upsetting the Jayhawks.
"I think we'll be excited to play the game," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We know they can play with us. We have to play very well to win at Lincoln."
The difficulty Kansas had with Nebraska this season was only the tip of the iceberg. The Cornhuskers crushed Kansas by 19 in Lincoln, Neb., last season. If Kansas wants to stay in command of the Big 12 Conference race, a victory tomorrow is crucial.
"I'm only worried about the Nebraska game on Saturday."
senior guard Keith Langford said. "Everyone is a threat to take the Big 12 title so we just have to take it one game at a time."
The sting of last year's loss to the Cornhuskers still lingers in the minds of several players, and they said revenge would be on their minds tomorrow.
"Last year they rushed the court," sophomore guard J.R. Giddens said. "It's a place where we've been losing. This is a chance to set things even from my standpoint."
Nebruska (10-8 overall, 3-4 Big 12) has gone 2-2 since its encounter with Kansas. The Cornhuskers have played well, though. Three of their last four losses have come by 10 points or less. They will come into tomorrow's match-up fresh off a 34-point victory against Utah Valley State.
In their last meeting with the Cornhuskers, the Jayhawks only scored 59 points. The Cornhuskers slowed the game
down and only allowed one Jayhawk — senior forward Wayne Simien — to score more than 10 points. Kansas shot just 42 percent from the field and had a difficult time getting high-percentage shots.
"They isolate the post very well," Self said. "They do a good job of defending, especially if you don't execute."
Nebraska freshman guard Joe McCray will again be a focus for the Kansas defense. He scored a game-high 19 points against Kansas earlier this year and averages 14.7 points a game.
Self said McCray did not surprise his coaching staff in the first game, but the players might not have realized he was capable of playing that well.
"He's very aggressive. We did a good job on him, but he ended up scoring 19." Self said. "He's certainly a load, and he's one of the best scoring freshmen in the league."

Texas baseball No.1 in coaches' poll
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Even without its expected No. 1 starting pitcher, Texas still looks like the team to beat in the Big 12 — maybe in the nation.
The Longhorns, coming off three straight 50-win seasons and four College World Series appearances in five years, are the No.1 team in two of the major preseason polls and fourth in the other.
Those high expectations don't change because Sam LeCure won't pitch. A federal judge this week upheld the sophomore right-handler's dismissal from the university because he was academically ineligible.
"The depth they have in the pitching staff is good enough they can overcome the loss of Sam. My thoughts are with him," said second-year Oklahoma State coach Frank Anderson, the former Texas pitching coach.
"In my selfish manner, I'm not disappointed," Texas A&M coach Mark Johnson said yesterday during the Big 12 coaches preseason conference call. "They are loaded. They have a lot of pitchers. I don't think they will skip a major beat."
Right-hander Kyle McCulloch was 7-0 with a 3.25 ERA in 25 appearances with eight starts as a freshman for Texas. Senior Buck Cody (1-2 with a 1.81 ERA and two saves in 40 games) likely moves into the starting rotation, and J. Brent Cox (6-2, 2.12 with five saves in 37 games) takes over for departed closer Huston Street.
"I hope that experience will be able to serve us well in fielding a championship-type team," coach Augie Garrido said. "We have what we think are the ingredients for that ... an adequate defense, a competent offense and I think our pitching staff will be able to perform its role on a consistent level."
Texas, Texas A&M, Big 12 tournament champion Oklahoma State and Baylor are all in the top 25 of the Collegiate Baseball, Baseball America and the ESPN coaches' preseason polls. League coaches picked them first through fourth, respectively, in the Big 12.
The Longhorns also have catcher Taylor Teagarden (.273, 10 home runs, 51 RBIs) and center fielder Drew Stubbs (.301, 8, 47) among five returning everyday starters.
Nebraska was picked fifth, followed by Texas Tech. Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Kansas State. Colorado and Iowa State don't field teams.
The Big 12 season starts today with three games: Oklahoma State at home against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Texas at San Diego State and Kansas at Hawaii-Hilo.
Texas A&M returns six everyday starters and 10 pitchers from last year's 42-22 team that played in an NCAA super regional.
"We've got quite a few guys returning who had a good finish," said Johnson, going into his 21st season. "We competed well, and hope that can carry over."
Anderson hopes to fill some gaps at Oklahoma State with an incoming class ranked among the best in the country.
"It will take us a while to evolve and find out where we're going to put some kids," Anderson said. "I like our pitching staff, we have more options. But there are so many unknowns, so many kids who haven't played at the Division I level."
Mangino loses recruits favors early signing period
By RYAN COLAIANNI
colaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino saw an increasing number of players de-commit from his program this year, and he wants to do something about it.
"I am in favor of an early signing date," Mangino said of a period similar to basketball recruiting, where players can sign as early as November. There is also a second signing date in the spring for basketball.
Mangino said his team had lost three or four players to commitments this season.
A few of the players who are rumored to have de-committed are defensive end Sirod Williams, who eventually committed to Illinois, cornerback E.J. Biggers, who eventually committed to Western Michigan, running back Aaron Brown, who eventually committed to TCU, and cornerback Jacob Lacey, who committed to Oklahoma State.
Mangino said that a few players committed to recruiting Web sites first, but when Mangino asked these players about commitment, the players said they were misquoted.
"Progressively every year it just seems to get worse," Mangino said. "This de-committing is something that is really trendy right now."
Mangino did say he and his staff always had back-up plans when players de-commit. They have a secondary list that they will call if a player at a certain position decides to go to another school.
The coaching staff works to build relationships with these players, he said.
"I want to give credit to our coaching staff because they understand that no matter how many commitments you have, you have to keep recruiting because everyone is going to lose some guys," Mangino said.
Mangino compared a commitment to a spouse to the commitment that players give to college coaches. He said that a commitment to a college coach was anything but firm.
"There is an improved likelihood that he will come to your school," Mangino said of verbal commitments. "But if you think that means he is coming, then you're a fool."
The Kansas athletics department is currently looking into the amount of money being spent for Mangino and his staff to visit players after they verbally committed and to make sure that they are still planning on attending the University.
Mangino said those visits accounted for 20 to 25 percent of his recruiting budget.
"You want to save some money, let's get an early signing date," Mangino said.
Mangino said that the trips to visit recruits who have already verbally committed were often called "baby-sitting" by college coaches and that he was not the only coach in favor of a second signing day.
He thinks de-committing occurs because after a player verbally commits to a school, he disappears from the Web sites and is no longer talked about.
"Some of those kids that like attention realize that no one is talking about them anymore," Mangino said. "They take another visit, they change their mind. I think that that is an issue that we have no control over, and I don't know what the remedy is."

Recruits fill most of Snyder's spots
MANHATTAN — Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said yesterday that he got most of what the Wildcats were looking for in a 20-member recruiting class but admitted several holes have yet to be plugged.
Among them is a pressing need at linebacker and on the defensive line.
"We'd like to sign a couple more, and they'd come from three or four spots," Snyder said. "But what's important is making sure the guys we have are guys who can contribute to the program."
Quick contributions may be the most important factor in
this recruiting class, after the Wildcats (4-7, 2-6 Big 12) struggled to their worst finish since 1989, said rivals.com recruiting analyst Jeremy Crabtree.
"They need to try to turn some things around there. They needed some immediate help on the defensive side of the ball and they got that," he said.

BASKETBALL: Jayhawks fueled by revenge
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
the team won't overlook the Cornhuskers this time around
"We'll be pumped up because they are a good team, obviously, and it is another tough challenge for us on the road," senior guard Mike Lee said. "The game got kind of intense the first time around, I expect the same thing."
Lee remember's just how intense last year's game got. Lee and Nebraska's freshman guard Joe McCray were diving for a loose ball out of bounds when McCray kicked in what appeared to be the stomach.
"It wasn't in the stomach," Lee said. "It was, you know, there."
Both teams scratched and clawed for rebounds and played
grity defense when they met earlier this year. The halftime score was just 24-21. Nebraska had an answer for every Kansas score. Nebraska had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but senior reserve guard Corey Simms missed a wide-open, three-point attempt as time ran out.
Self said that after that game, the Jajawks learned a few things about tomorrow's opponent.
"We know that they can play with us, we know that they are capable because they almost did it here, and we have to play very, very well to win in Lincoln." Self said.
The Cornhuskers' physical play was most apparent on the glass. They out-rebounded Kansas 43-36. But what made the game close — other than
aggressive play from Nebraska — was that Kansas missed shots in critical moments of the game.
Kansas shot just over 50 percent from behind the free throw line and went just 2-7 in the last three minutes of the game.
Nick Bahe, a sophomore from Lincoln and Kansas guard, knows how tough this game could be.
Missed free throws is not what the Jayhawks remember. Team members recall a team that knocked them off last year and almost did it again this year.
"They play hard. They play together. They are well-coached," Bahe said. "We know that they bring it night in and night out and we know that we are going to get their best shot."

GYMNAST: Breaks hand, leaves mat for good
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
of the gym, Norton was where she wanted to be — excelling at the sport that had become her passion. She made three trips to nationals and recorded first-place finishes in five total events. By the end of her junior year in high school, a gymnastics scholarship was clearly in her sights.
Then her coach moved to Texas, and Norton's downward spiral began. Instead of staying with her family and friends in Kansas and living out a normal end to her high school career, Norton followed her coach to the one stop sign town of Krum, Texas.
First came the broken hand. It
was the second day of a gymnastics camp, and Norton landed a jump awkwardly off the vault and paid the price. The break was set wrong, so the projected six weeks of recovery time became two months. Then there was the hardship of learning that she couldn't live with her old coach and she had to experience living with an unfamiliar coach, who enforced strict 9 p.m. bedtimes and rigorous training schedules. And there was a week-long trip to visit her college-student boyfriend in North Dakota, a week that exposed her to what her college life could be like if it wasn't dominated by gymnastics. When her coach suggested she train through the holidays instead of
going home to visit her family, a tearful Norton decided she'd had enough, and that was the end of her gymnast dreams.
Now, just more than a year later, she's here at Kansas, attending school in the one state that doesn't have a single NCAA gymnastics program.
Norton contents herself with helping and encouraging her peers, recruiting new members to the club and teaching her students. It's a long way from where she saw herself heading a couple years ago, but sometimes the path our hearts mandate is different from the one we expect.

Cowboys' three-time champion says goodbye
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.— NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith retired yesterday, calling his 15-year career "a tremendous ride."
Smith, who starred for the Dallas Cowboys for 13 seasons and spent the last two years with Arizona, made the announcement at the Super Bowl — a fitting spot for a three-time champion.
"I've given everything I can possible to the game, on and off the field." Smith said.
"The memories that I have, the relationships that I'm taking away from the game are something dear and something I will take with me for the rest of my life," he said. "I'm moving on to another chapter in my life and that's a chapter I'm looking forward to."
Smith said he planned to pursue some business opportunities but vowed to stay close to the game and give something back to the fans.
Wearing a pinstripe suit — blue, of course — Smith thanked dozens of people from Pee Wee football to the Cardinals and every stop in-between. He broke down several times and had tears streaming down his face as he clutched his wife's hand.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, one of the many Smith thanked through tears, gave the best reason for the long list of saluta-
"When you've established yourself as royalty, then you have to mention everybody," Jones said. "That's the price you pay."
tions.
The 35-year-old Smith ran for 18,355 yards and 164 touchdowns in his career, both NFL records. He rushed for 937 yards and nine touchdowns for the Cardinals this season.
Smith said the Cardinals had decided not to re-sign him for next year.
"That made my decision a whole lot easier," Smith said, adding that he turned down offers to continue his career elsewhere. "I have a home. It's with my family."
Smith was more consistent than he was spectacular, a running back who could be relied on to get tough yards when tough yards were needed.
He rushed for 1,000 yards or more every year between 1991 and 2001. He led the NFL in rushing in 1991, 1992 and 1995 and in touchdowns in three different seasons.
But despite his impressive statistics, he won just two major awards in 15 seasons — NFL MVP in 1993 and the Super Bowl MVP that same season, when he rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 30-13 win over Buffalo in Atlanta.
He won those despite missing the first two games in a contract
dispute with Jones. Smith finished the year with perhaps his greatest game, an overtime win over the New York Glants at the Meadowlands.
The Cowboys and Giants were both 11-4. The winner got the NFC East title, home-field advantage in the playoffs and a first-round bye. The loser got a wild-card game the following week.
Smith separated his shoulder in the third quarter but returned to the game, which went into overtime tied at 13. He carried the ball on nine of the Cowboys' 11 plays in the extra period — at one point raising his aching shoulder to stiff-arm Lawrence Taylor on his final run, which set up Eddie Murray's game-winning field goal.
He finished with 229 total yards and a touchdown on 32 carries, along with 10 receptions — the heaviest workload in team history. Then he spent the night in a hospital.
Had the Cowboys lost that game, Smith probably wouldn't have been able to play the following week in a wild-card game. That would have made the road much more difficult in what turned out to be the Cowboys' second of three Super Bowl victories in four seasons.
"Emmitt has never forgot he was part of a team and what the team meant," Jones said. "You're place in our franchise has always been secure."
HAWAII: Baseball team aims for perfect season
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"We've got more depth this year than we've had any year I've been here," Price said.
Jayhawk batters are also looking forward to the opportunities
the Vulcans present. The Vulcans were swept in their season-opening, five-game series last weekend against San Diego University. San Diego batted .331 as a team and created 55 runs.
After scrimmaging against
themselves since the beginning of the semester, Kansas is more than ready to get off the practice field.
"We're excited to see what we can do against someone other than ourselves," senior catcher Sean Richardson said.
Although the team is looking forward to the beautiful weather and scenery, players are determined to focus on baseball. Kansas lost a couple of games last year in Hawaii, something that Baty vows will not happen this time.
— Edited by Lisa Coble-Krings
"I don't think there's any reason why we shouldn't win all six games this year," Baty said.
After today, the series will continue with games in Kona, Hawaii, Saturday and Sunday before wrapping up in Hilo Monday through Wednesday.

Women look to complete sweep of Tigers on road

Junior forward Crystal Kemp attempts to block Oklahoma sophomore forward Leah Rush during Wednesday's game. The Jayhawks' next contest is a rematch against Missouri at 1 a.m. tomorrow in Columbia.
BY BJ RAINS
brains@ku.edu
KANIAN SPORTWIFI
The Kansas women's basketball team will get its first look at the brand new Mizzou Arena when it heads down I-70 to play arch-rival Missouri at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
The teams met two weeks ago in Lawrence, with the Jayhawks defeating the Tigers 63-61. In that contest, there were 18 lead changes and six ties. It was a back-and-forth battle, one that both teams are preparing for again.
In the earlier meeting, Kansas junior forward Crystal Kemp dominated on both ends of the floor She recorded a game-high 14 rebounds. Her performance impressed everyone in attendance, even Missouri Coach Cindy Stein.
"Kemp was incredible on the glass, especially on the offensive end." Steve said. "It's like she had suction cups on her hands when she grabbed some of those rebounds."
"I was just thinking that I had to score," Kemp said. "The fact that they did not doubleteam was a plus. I felt that one-on-one. I had a really good chance to score, so I just did what I had to do."
Rebounds were not all that Kemp contributed in the victory. She also finished with a game-high 22 points, four shy of her career-high. Down the stretch she took the game into her hands, scoring 14 points in the second half. Whenever the Jayhawks needed a big basket, Kemp had the answer.
The Jayhawks will look to once again exploit the Tigers down low. In the previous match-up, they outbounded the Tigers 55-30 and outscored them in the paint 40-18.
The Jayhawks will try to bounce back from Wednesday's 65-49 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners. In that contest, junior guard Erica Hallman went three-for-14 from the field and scored only six points. Strong defensive pressure by Oklahoma's post players gave Kemp problems, as she
took just seven shots, well below her average.
"We will get better and rebound from this," Henrickson said. "We will work for a couple hours and try to get it right. It will be a great opportunity for us to get a win on the road on Saturday."
Missouri has lost seven games in a row, most recently falling to No. 14 Texas, 71-52, last Saturday. In that contest, Junior Center Christelle N'Garsanet scored 15 points. Sophomore Forward EeTsha Riddle added 12 points in the defeat.
In the earlier match-up against the Jayhawks, the Tigers had a balanced scoring attack. They had four players in double figures and were led by Leavenworth native
Tiffany Brooks, who had 14 points. The sophomore guard missed a game-tying shot with less than five seconds to play that would have sent the game into overtime.
Junior guard LaToya Bond also added a strong game, with 13 points and six rebounds.
Despite the rebounding advantage the Jayhawks had in the first game, the Tigers are a much bigger team. They have four players who stand at 6-3 or taller, while the Jayhawks tallest player, Kemp, stands at 6-2.
They will need Kemp and company to once again be strong on the glass if they hope to leave Columbia with a victory.

Paper's new design not only change you will see
The University Daily Kansas is out from under the knife from a little nip and tuck.
Aimost a year ago we called out to students, alumni and faculty to help us create a new image. Today, we are thrilled to introduce our new image, which was originally created by KU alumnus Adam Yarnevich.
The design and image were not the only things we changed though.
Journalists every where work every day to satisfy your curiosity and keep you informed. The media are continuously trying to dis-
When it comes to newspaper readership, there are three types of readers.
The first type of reader has three hours and can read the entire paper from front to back. The second type of reader has 30 minutes, and grabs the newspaper for a quick glance at the news. The last type of reader has three minutes and generally doesn't read a newspaper at all.
usually trying to cover who readers are and what they want. When it comes to newspaper readership, there are three types of readers.
To help the 30-minute and three-minute readers get the most out of the Kansan, we have introduced an index on page 2A with summaries of our stories. If you have three minutes, glance over the index and you'll be up-to-date. If you have 30 minutes to read, review the index, choose which stories to read and then do the crossword. For the three-hour readers, thank you, and continue to enjoy.
If you are an avid editorial or "Free for All" reader, the opinion page has moved to the inside of the back page.
The Kansan also has added a weekly culture page, KUlture, which runs every Wednesday on the back page of the news section. On the first Wednesday of every month you can enjoy the return of satire to the Kansan. Today we have a special KUlture page about this week's all-majors career fair.
If you haven't been to Kansan.com in a while, you should log on and check it out. We have started work on a more interactive Web site just for you. Look out for our new student focus and watch us add to the site throughout the semester.
The Kansan, Jayplay and Kansan.com continue to work to inform and entertain you. If you ever have any suggestions, questions or concerns, feel free to e-mail me or any other staff member.

Bringing back booze
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Memorial Corporation Board unanimously approved a petition on Saturday morning seeking to bring alcohol sales back to the Kansas Union. But before suds will be sold, Chancellor Robert Hemenway and provost David Shulenburger must approve the plan.
The board will put together a focus group of students, faculty and alumni to make a formal proposal on how alcohol sales would happen at the Union. The proposal will then go to the provost and chancellor for review and an eventual decision.
Hemenway has put alcohol on the agenda of his cabinet meeting this morning. Marlesa Roney, vice provost for Student Success, is a member of the board and will also attend the chancellor's meeting.

Now, the petition will be sent to the chancellor and Provost for further review and research. The Memorial Corporation Board will form a focus group to put together a formal presentation.
Before the board meeting, David

Mucci, director of the Kansas Union, put together an overview of the proposal to bring malt beverage sales to the Union for the members of the Board.
The facility would serve two to
three standard brands of alcohol, and beverages would be served only in plain plastic cups.
The proposal provided for wristbands and the prohibition of alcohol advertisements and promotions.
Mucci said that that all staff personnel and security would have to complete Training for Intervention Procedures (TIPS) program.
"Training our staff to meet procedures will be a big challenge," Mucci said. "We need to reinforce the idea that this would be about interaction and exchange, not about beer."
Mucci said that if everything were to move forward at a rapid pace, the proposal could be decided on by the end of the spring semester and implemented for the 2005 fall semester.

Beer was last sold at the Kansas Union in 1998, but was stopped after a drunk driver hit a pedestrian on Tennessee Street.

The service began last Friday afternoon. Student Senate proposed the idea in September for wireless Internet to be available at various spots throughout the campus including Wescoe Hall, Budig Hall and the Fieldhouse.
Bill Farris, who served as the project manager, had a walk through Friday afternoon and said everything was working. Farris is the assistant director for Network and

Telecommunications Services. He said he expected there to be a problem at some point.
"There is a lot of metal at the Fieldhouse that could interfere with it." Farris said.
Arthur Jones, Student Senate's executive committee chairman, and Dallas junior, was one of the original authors of the proposal and is excited the project is complete.
Jones said some of the delays were securing funding and communication problems with NTS. Student Senate is paying $55,000 out of a total $250,000 for the project.
The service was originally scheduled to begin Nov. 1.
"The students promised this and delivered it," Jones said of the Student Senate.
When students use this service in 10 years the senate will know it is because we got it done, he said.
The service will be available only at the north end of the Fieldhouse, near the concessions, where students camp out. The service will be unavailable during basketball games.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director, said the reason for this is because the Athletics Department was worried about someone being able to access the athletics network server.
Students will have to have an online ID and password to access the service, and will not be available to the general public.

Along with Student Senate funding, the Athletics Department will help out by paying $532 a year for provider up-keep.
"Camping out is an integral part of student life and life around athletics," Marchiony said. "Students are a major part of the spirit of the Fieldhouse."

An e-mail sent on Feb. 2 notified Dan Ryckert that his show, "Foghat Live," would no longer have a home on KUUI-TV Channel 31.

Ryckert, Olathe junior and creator of the sketch comedy show, said his show was taken off the air because of offensive content.
Dan Ryckert, Olathe junior, displays the "Bee Bong of Awesome" for his sketch comedy "Foghat Live" during a shoot last year. Ryckert directed and produced the sketch, which KUJH-TV recently pulled from its programming schedule.
"I'd be willing to budge on a few of the scenes, but they haven't talked to me," said Ryckert, theater and film major.
Offensive content is only half the story, said Dick Nelson, acting general manager of KUIH-TV.
Programs that were produced by non-journalism students were removed from the station's programming just after the first of the year.
Changes within the station's management and within the School of Journalism are other factors behind the reformatting.
"We're concentrating on making our programming fit into our curriculum." Nelson said.
Informational programming is the priority of the channel and the School of Journalism, and changes are helping to achieve that. Nelson said.
"KUJH-TV News" and "Sports Talk" are the only programs aired on the channel that are produced by KU students.
All other programming comes from a syndicated feed called the Research Channel, Nelson said.
New informational programs are planned for the channel. New faculty who specialize in science and medical journalism will produced these programs in conjunction with KUJH-TV, Nelson said.
The channel is like the C-SPAN of college television, said Ann Brill, dean of journalism.
But the new format eliminates

the station as an outlet for film students.
The shows weren't canceled, but put on hold. Nelson said.
"Being put on hold is the equivalent of being canceled," Efron said.
He said he was exploring options, such as placing shows online for download or on Channel 6.
Efron is working to make his show and others available to students.
Entertainment projects would be considered again for KUJH-TV sometime either this summer of fall, Nelson said.

New printing services shop to be located in Union
The Kansas Union will have a new printing services shop, but Union administrators are unsure of the opening date.
Negotiations with two different printing service providers began two weeks ago.
The shop will be on the 3rd floor of
the union in the previous location of Footprints.
Services the shop would provide include a full postal station, mailboxes, binding, printing and copying.
Pat Beard, director of building services in the Kansas Union, said that the shop would have a dual role: To help the University and to create business for the Union.
The Kansas Union had previously rented out space to Mail Boxes etc. and
the U.S. Postal Service. Both companies shut down because of lack of business. But Beard said demand for a post office as well as a printing shop existed.
"The international students, for instance, have to go all the way downtown to send packages home," Beard said. "It would definitely be easier for them to have a post office here on campus."

Photography business declines

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students at the University are not picking party pics as often as they used to.
Party photography companies, such as University Photography, have seen a decline in business over the last two years, Bud Stagg, owner, said. University Photography brought in about $600 for a party two years ago, he said. Within the last two years sales have dropped to about $250 per party. Stagg said business had dropped almost 60 percent.
Businesses that supply the photographers for parties have seen a decline because of the boom of digital cameras and cell phone cameras.
Business has also declined to lavhawk Pics, Dan Rau, manager, said
Local owners attribute decrease to digital camera, phone technology
Private parties and functions hire the photographers from the businesses. The photographers show up
and shoot photos of the attendees. The party patrons then go on to the Internet to select the photos they would like to purchase.
Photos are left on the Internet for different amounts of time. Photos from University Photo stay on its Web site for 30 days, and then the pictures are erased. Jayhawk Pics keeps pictures up for the entire semester before the photos are erased.
The problem, the companies contend, is that people just look at the photos — no one buys. The small amount of people that buy photos does not compensate the business for the cost.
percentage goes to the printer of the picture. University Photography charges $1.50 for the photo, and lavhawk Pics charges $2.
Greek houses still hire photographers for parties and events.
Digital cameras and cell phone cameras have allowed students the ability to take many of their own pictures wherever they are. Larger memory cards allow students to take up to 400 pictures.
A 4 x 6 photo, which is the most popular size, costs the company about 75 cents to make, Stagg said. The cost includes printing, and a
The digital photos students take can be sent, by way of the Internet, to their friends and peers with little to no cost to them. Students with digital cameras no longer have to pay or wait for photo developing.

social chairwoman for Sigma Delta Tau sorority, said.
They will now be charged $100 for a photographer, Stagg said.
Photographers from Jayhawk Pics still do not charge a one-time fee unless the event is outside the Lawrence area, Ray said. The cost of a photographer outside of Lawrence is $25 for Kansas City or surrounding cities. Outside that range the cost is negotiated.
E-mailing the pictures to customers may also be a practice the companies use in the future.
"We have to bring in some money on the event," he said.
If business does not pick up, the company will look to new ideas for sales.

Loma Pongmee loves her mom, Niki Hossack and Brock Potuecek love each other, and Kelly Nightengale loves herself.
Love and art meet in downtown gallery
These and dozens of other people viewed expressions of love at the "Who Do You Love?" art show at Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. Eighth St.
ARTS
Works included Brandon Faith Hill's "A Not-So-Androgynous Toy," a 6-inch bronze penis that pumps out Play-Doh vaginas from its head, and K.T. Walsh's "Valentine Bonnet," a steel bowl with plastic eyes and a love poem on it.
The poem reads: "just a small reminder/In a 'Valentine'-y Way/Say you're being thought of/Very specially today."
"I think it represents different shades of love," Cara Orban, Lawrence resident, said. "I am fond of the 'Valentine Bonnet.' I imagine I would like to walk down Massachusetts Street with it on."
1927
Patrons milled about the gallery drinking free Pabst Blue Ribbon from an ice-filled bathtub while '80s love songs played, courtesy of DJ Pedro, a mannequin dressed in pink hot pants, sunglasses and fishnet stockings.

Rylan Howe/KANSAN
Angela Mead, Lawrence resident, browses paintings Saturday night at the "Who Do You Love?" art show held at Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. Eighth St. Mead and her friends found out about the show from local artists. "I came to eat chocolate and look at art," she said. Approximately 50 works of art were on display at the show.
You Love?" is a lot like a house party, said Jill Kleinhans, coowner of Olive Gallery and 2003 graduate.
Despite the error, Pongmee,
Lawrence freshman, plans to
give the piece, made of India ink
and a Lucky Charms box, to her
mother.
Pongmee made "You're a Beautiful Stallion Amongst a Herd of Horses" for her mother, and then realized her mistake: stallions are males.
Brock Potueck's painting "Could It Be?" features him and his girlfriend, Hossack, Lawrence freshman, standing stand next to each other.
"Who Do You Love?" was an unjuried event, meaning everything submitted was accepted as long as it dealt with love.
In contrast to Pongnee and Potueck's works, Nightengale's piece, "Masturbation," is about a different kind of love; a red polo shirt is embroidered with a blue bird over a horseshoe, holding in its beak a banner that says "masturbation."
Their bodies are dark with a red heart attached to their chests.
"It's about the possibilities of love," Potucek, Hutchinson freshman, said.
This is the Olive's second love-themed show for Valentine's Day. Last year the gallery had an exhibit titled "(s)he loves me, (s)he loves me not."
The art will be on display until Feb. 23.
"It's my tribute to Valentine's Day," Nightengale, Lawrence resident, said. "Self-love; the greatest kind of love."
Laura Holgate will deliver a speech called "An Agenda for a Safer World" at 8 p.m. tomorrow at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Holgate is the vice president for the Russia/New Independent States Programs for the Nuclear Threat Initiative advocacy group.
"There's a sheer quantity of nuclear weapons still in the world that remain a threat," said James Woelfel, director of Humanities and Western Civilization programs.

The Nuclear Threat Initiative is an advocacy organization whose research focuses on various aspects of weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons. Woelfel said.
The organization advocates the reduction of nuclear stockpiles in countries such as the United States, Russia and other former Soviet Union countries and countries of concern in Asia and the Middle East.

SLAVE TRADE

"It was pretty unsettling," MacGonagle said. "It didn't make for a good night's sleep."
MacGonagle went to Ghana in the winter of 2002 to gather research about the coastal slave forts and how they are used today.
The article, "Reclaiming History: The Changing Use of Slave Forts in Ghana," takes a look at some of these changes and how they have affected the history and people of Ghana.
Forts and other aspects of
African heritage are being used as "racialized remembrance," which provides the opportunity to learn about the history of slavery.
It was the last thing many Africans saw before being shipped to the new world.
One fort had a sign welcoming back people whose ancestors were taken during the trade. The door was known as "The Door of No Return."
The slave forts were first used and built by the major European powers involved in the Atlantic slave trade. Garth Myers, professor of geology and African, African-American studies, said that among the British, French, Spanish, Dutch

Medal recipients undeserving
During the winter-holiday season I flipped through the channels and happened across a story on CNN about three men who had just received the Presidential Medal of Freedom: Tommy Franks, George Tenet and Paul Bremer. It is the highest award our nation can give to a civilian; President Kennedy, Arnold Palmer, Mr. Rogers and John Paul II have all received this great honor. I thought that these gentlemen must be of high-regard if this honor was being bestowed upon them.
I decided to look up these three men. It turns out that Tommy Franks, George Tenet and Paul Bremer were the masterminds behind the pre-war intelligence, the war in Iraq and the ensuing American occupation. Wait a minute. Hasn't that been a complete debacle? Why are they getting the Medal of Freedom?
Franks certainly isn't a complete success, but he seems like a knight in shining armor compared to the other two.
Tommy Franks is a retired general who was in charge of combat in Afghanistan and the initial invasion of Iraq. I suppose he can't be criticized too sharply, the invasion did work well. But we were supposed to find Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and that hasn't happened yet.
George Tenet is the former CIA director who retired in July 2004. According to *cnn.com*, Bush said "that after Sept. 11, Tenet was 'ready with a plan to strike back at Al Qaeda and to topple the Taliban."
Yes, that's good, but his plan would have been better if that had happened before Sept. 11. He was the director of the CIA — intelligence is his job — and we were wholly unprepared for Sept. 11.
There has been massive criticism of the CIA during this time period. Bush has tried to overhaul the nation's intelligence system because of its failure with Sept. 11 and also the misinformation about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.

Apparently Bush has forgotten that the supposed reason we went into Iraq was because our intelligence told us that it had these weapons.
And now, he's giving the man who was wrong about that a Medal of Freedom? What the hell is going on?
It doesn't get better with Paul Bremer. CNN reported that, "Bremer was the top civilian U.S. official in post-war Iraq, overseeing the transfer of power to an interim Iraqi government in June."
What? He's getting a Medal of Freedom? Post-war Iraq is almost in anarchy, more die every day. What about this is award-worthy?
The Daily Show reported that Bush was proud of Bremer for trying to learn Arabic. Jon Stewart said, "You're kidding right? He didn't know Arabic"
This was news I too had a hard time believing. The man placed in charge of restoring order and giving power back to the Iraqi people couldn't even speak to them.
I can't believe they didn't fire this guy, let alone give him the highest award in our nation. It seems like some sort of joke and it takes away from the award if the White House is handing it out whenever it feels like it's time for a good political move.
We can only hope that this is the most remarkable way that the Bush administration screws up in the next four years. The only good news about this is that it hasn't cost any more of our troops' lives.
But, the thought of three morons walking around with their chests inflated because they have received a Medal of Freedom makes me sick to my stomach.

Steve Sack/STAR TRIBUNE
Nearly a year ago, while standing at the foot of the Coliseum in Rome in awe of a building that provided entertainment for thousands of spectators, my mind caught a glimpse of the importance of such a feature in Roman society.
But in my mind, one stadium and its defining characteristics stood out amongst all others. In Kansas City, Arrowhead Stadium provides a ubiquitous flow of mullets, Starter jackets and NASCAR hats.
Humans create unfair labels toward those they don't know
▼ FILÓSOFO GALLEGO
Yet, I couldn't help but think of other cultures and the importance of such venues in their respective locales: In Spain, soccer clubs and stadiums represent regional and metropolitan pride. In England, beating the piss out of your opponents and drinking yourself stupid is as as common as a Fox News error.
That afternoon, while on the metro squished between a fuzzy French politician and a sun burnt, pink German — where awkward hardly described the situation, I realized my interpretation of the world had been formed by cultural baggage, obtained in my home where the buffalo roam.
A
Before the investigation into the origins of one's cultural baggage, it is important to define the term "culture". Jennifer Craik, author of "Traveling Cultures" defines culture as the repertoire of practices of a group that manifests its values or, the least of which, the individuals of that group are personified as
DEVIN SIKES
dsihes@kansan.com
actors representing such practices. Those who participate in a culture embody the customs, institutions and achievements of a particular nation, people or group.
Recognizing this will require us to be more humble whilst trying to understand the point of view of a culture distinct from our own.
For example, Americans embody the life of liberty and the Carnies deify the bearded lady and cage fighters with pride.
Then again, this is all a matter of perspective.
Experiences are the elements, uniting humans across all borders that culminate to form and develop our subjective perspective of the world.
The only way to move forward in a global community is realizing that an interpretation of one's culture rests solely in the eye of the beholder.
On the outside, individuals are standardized, wearing the nicely constructed labels formed by society that categorize an agent as belonging to a certain culture.
From the time we are born, our experiences are important to the maturation of our growth as individuals. The first memories of our caretakers, cause-and-effect events that develop our cognitive network and our first experiences in love.
For some, a leaf can appear more green than gold, freedom more of a right than an impediment and love more as a spiritual than physical act.
However, when problems arise in the world, the parties involved are not categorized as "fellow humans", but are quickly distinguished from each other, such as Jewish, Palestinian, protestant, gay or black.
Influenced by the environment of our cultural upbringing, each individual evolves his or her perspective of the world to form a view that can be at best understood not as a universal point of view, but as a mere fragment of the infinite possible ways to perceive.
In the ongoing development of our perspective, often we relate the new and unknown to things that we are already familiar with. While observing an object, we never observe the object in itself; more precisely, we merely perceive it according to our point of view, in a given time and place. Thus,"reality" is merely the slave of the observer.
In an ever-globalizing world, we aim to integrate world unity amongst all individuals of all backgrounds.

LETTERS TO THE EDIT Students responsible for staying informed
Our center would like to echo your comments regarding the necessity for students to become aware of events outside of the United States (There's a world outside the United States that matters, Thursday, January 27. 2005). As luck would have it, the Center for Russian and East European Studies organized a series of Ukrainian events during the Fall 2004 semester just as the country was beginning this transition toward a more democratic form of government.
CREES organized a lively roundtable discussion that included these experts, in addition to faculty from KU who have Ukrainian ties Alexandre Skiba in Economics or have conducted extensive research in the region Erik Herron and Paul D'Anieri Political Science.
Indeed, Dr. Herron served as an election observer for the Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe during the first round of presidential
elections in Ukraine.
During the past decade, KU has expended considerable time, effort, and funding in developing a vibrant Ukrainian language and culture studies program that is now recognized as one of the best in the nation. More than a cliché, the ripples from the dramatic democratic changes in Ukraine during the past three months have started resonating throughout the world and KU students have an obligation to remain informed.
Ray Finch Assistant to the Director Center for Russian and East European Studies
Religion no reason for gay opposition
Concerning the articles on gay marriage printed Feb. 3, the Bible also forbids nice clothes, certain meats, cutting hair/beards, and tattoos (Lev. 19:19, 26-28). Lying to one's parent is punishable by death (Lev. 20:9), and slaves should obey their masters. Should today's law accommodate
these scriptures, as well?
It is glaringly obvious that laws given in a book written over 2,000 years ago "for people living on the other side of the globe" do not apply to present society and its human beings.
I am in love and living with another woman, with whom I will spend the rest of my life. Marriage is the union between people who love, honor and cherish each other and are committed to do so forever. If my wife and I ever desire to be parents, there are millions of starving, orphaned children who could benefit from our guidance and love. Children raised by same-sex couples do not necessarily become gay; and even if they do, so what?
Please educate yourself before publishing narrow-minded opinions. Attraction and love are beautiful, healthy, natural things. Jesus taught peace, love and tolerance. Quit using religion to justify homophobia.

Tomorrow and Wednesday an all-majors career fair is calling your name
Getting a job right out of college or a between-semesters summer internship is often challenging and competitive. To ease the stress of job searching, the University of Kansas Career Center is sponsoring its annual Spring Career Fair on Tuesday and Wednesday.
More than 100 companies will be at the fair. National companies like ESPN, Philip Morris USA and Wells Fargo Financial will be there alongside local employers such as the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Sprint and Worlds of Fun. The fair is for all majors.

professional world," said Molly Cunningham, internship adviser for the Career Center.
The Career Center recommends that students take a resume with them and dress professionally and business like for the fair. "A cover letter or a business card isn't necessary, but it would help one to standout from the rest," Cunningham said.
Freshman Robel Yemane, architecture major from Eritrea, said that he has already applied for an internship, and is waiting to hear if he got it. Yemane said he learned of the internship through the
To make the job hunting and internship search less strenuous, students should apply to internships and job offers they qualify for, said Mary Andrade, assistant director of the University Career Center. Some internships and career offers are exclusive, and students shouldn't waste their time and effort if they don't meet most of the requirements, said Andrade.
To make sure students get the best help finding internships best suited to their interests and work experience, the Career Center offers books about internships all across the country. The center has a file of company names and when they are hiring, and an online database of internship opportunities. Students can access the database and post their resumes for a $40 fee. Some majors are exempt from paying the access fee.
Cunningham warns students that if they run into an internship that seems like busy work, they should ask their adviser or supervisor for more work. If that doesn't work, the student should take the internship for what it's worth and use the opportunity to learn and meet people who work in the profession of their interest, Cunningham said.
Renita Norman, communications major from Topeka, is working her first internship this semester for Sports Illustrated on Campus. Norman earns college credit but no wages from the internship, and she's responsible for meeting with advertisers and promoting the magazine on campus and around Lawrence. Norman didn't get the internship through the Career Center, but did get help with her resume there, and said she planned to go to the fair tomorrow. Norman said she likes her internship because it gives her an opportunity to interact with the public and gain experience in the public relations profession.

Back with a vengeance
Motivation from past games leads to Kansas win
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
LINCOLN, Neb. — During breakfast on Saturday morning, the Kansas Jayhawks watched a little bit of film. It wasn't the first time they had seen it, but coach Bill Self wanted to make sure the memory of last year's defeat against Nebraska was fresh in their minds.
The Kansas coaches already had used the film twice on Friday as a motivational tactic for Saturday's game against the Cornhuskers.
They didn't watch a particular shot or the last few minutes of the game. The Jayhawks watched the film of the students pouring onto the court after Kansas' 19-point defeat at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln.
As if they had forgotten.
"I remember the game well. That was embarrassing," junior forward
Christian Moody said. "You get excited about playing them up here, and we knew that we had to play well to beat them up here. That showed from how we played last year and lost."
Saturday was a different story. The Jayhawks throttled the Cornhuskers 78-65, improving to 18-1 overall and 8-0 in the Big 12 Conference.
With or without the reminder of last season's loss, the layhawks were still hot about giving Nebraska an opportunity to win in Allen Fieldhouse three weeks ago. None of them had forgotten Nebraska forward Corey Simms' buzzer-beating three-point attack that, had it been good, would have knocked off Kansas on its home court.
Also on their minds was the last game's altercation between Nebraska freshman Joe McCray, who scored 19 on the Jayhawks in the last game, and senior guard Mike Lee. It's no wonder Kansas was fired up to get some revenge on Nebraska.
Senior guard Keith Langford said there was not a lack of motivation, especially after the Jayhawks watched that film three times.
Langford said. "Even the scuffle that some of the guys got into back at the Fieldhouse, that gave us added incentive coming up here. Getting beat up here last year gives us incentive."
"The little things like that help out,"
That was obvious from the early moments of the game — especially with Langford, who led all scorers with 27 points, tying his career high. Langford's 11 first-half points ignited the Jayhawks, who were slightly sluggish in the first 10 minutes of the first half.
For the first time this season, Langford said he felt like he put together two good halves, something that Kansas coach Bill Self talked to him about this week.
"He told me I had to get off to a good start and get involved early." Langford said. "I put two halves together and that made the difference today."
Langford's performance was certainly a difference-maker for the Jayhawks. Langford and fellow senior Wayne Simien combined for 45 of the Jayhawks' 78 points. The four seniors combined for 61 points.

Jayhawks humble Tigers
Early 28-6 lead delivers Missouri an 'embarrassing' defeat
BY BJ RAINS

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Missouri coach Cindy Stein's words following Kansas' 60-42 victory against the Tigers it all.
"It was embarrassing," Stein said. "I'd like to apologize to all of our fans. This was a huge embarrassment for us."
The Jayhawks took an early lead and never looked back. They opened the game hitting on all cylinders, while the Tigers opened the game ice cold. Missouri hit just one of its first 17 shots as the Jayhawks opened up a 28-5 lead with just more than six minutes remaining in the first half. The quick start surprised everyone in attendance, even Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson.
"Any coach in America who got out to a lead like that would be a little bit surprised," Henrickson said. "I was pleased with what we did on offense. We got good looks."
attempts from behind the arc.
The Jayhawks, who led by 21 points at halftime, used a balanced attack. The team's leading scorer this season, junior forward Crystal Kemp, was held to just six points, but unlike games earlier this season, other players stepped up. Junior guard Kaylee Brown led the team with 15 points on seven-of-12 shooting. Junior guard, Erica Hallman, notched 12 points while going five-of-six from the field, including two of her three
In the first meeting between the two teams this season, Kansas scored 40 points in the paint. On Saturday, only 10 of the team's 60 points came from inside. The team attempted 63 field goals, 14 more than Missouri, and used a more uptempo style of play. The Jayhawks pushed the ball in transition, something Henrickson devoted practice time to recently.
"We had 10 possessions in transition in the first half, which is how many we had the entire game the last time we played Missouri." Henrickson said. "I was ecstatic about that because we have really been on the kids about trying to get opportunities in transition, instead of wanting to sit against them in a half court defense."
It was a career game for freshman forward Taylor McIntosh. She grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds, helping the lajhwaks out-rebound the Tigers 39-31. She had 10 rebounds at halftime.
McIntosh, who also added 10 points — one shy of her career high — topped her previous high of 13 rebounds, set on Nov. 27 against UMKC. Afterward, McIntosh tried to downplay her accomplishment.
"That's what I bring to the team, rebound's," McIntosh said. "Every game I just go out there and try to get every rebound that I can."

Langford lifeblood of team
After Saturday's 27-point effort, senior guard Keith Langford showed what kind of player he needs to be for the Jayhawks to reach the Final Four. Langford has struggled at times this year, but for this Jayhawk team to be successful in March, Langford will need to be the team's most consistent player.
If the Jayhawks have two players who consistently put up 20 points, they will be unbeatable come tournament time. Langford was efficient in Saturday's contest, as he was 10 of 17 from the field including three-of-six from long range. Langford has also been hitting free throws, which is crucial for a player who gets fouled a lot because of his style of play. He has uped his average to nearly 70 percent from the line.
Langford re-asserted himself Saturday when he did what he does best; Slash and make clutch shots in traffic.
Senior forward Wayne Simien is not the most important player on the team. That distinction goes to Langford.
Langford's 15 points a game are good, but he must push that total higher to make Kansas unbeatable.
Langford has the ability to carry a team when they are struggling. When he hits clutch shots, he gets the team back on track and gives them confidence. Langford is a natural leader on the court, and he does so through example.
But Langford's shooting percentage has dropped during the past two seasons. As a sophomore, he shot 53 percent and averaged nearly 16 points per game. This season he is shooting just 45 percent from the field.
In Saturday's game against Nebraska, he may have returned to his previous form. This game may be the beginning of a hot streak that will continue through the rest of the season. He had a similar hot streak during the NCAA Tournament as a sophomore, beginning with a 27-point effort against Arizona in January and ending with a 23-point outing against Marquette in the Final Four.
Illinois is the country's top-ranked team, and North Carolina plays impressively against it opponents. But when Langford is on, there is not a better team in the country than Kansas. Langford and the rest of the senior class know that this is their last opportunity to win a championship, and come March, there is no better asset than a core group of players that have experience in championship opportunities.
TRACK & FIELD
Teams that have enormous talent often struggle during March Madness because they don't have the experience in pressure situations. The Jayhawks obviously have that, and Langford must be their guide through it all.
The Jayhawks will likely have just one more difficult road test left — at Oklahoma — if they wish to finish the conference season undefeated. If Langford is able to build off of this weekend's game, he will be able to take the Jayhawks to a National Championship.

The Husker Invitational provided an early barometer to show where the Jayhawks stood in the midst of higherranked Big 12 schools. Nebraska, Kansas State and Baylor finished in the top three in men's and top six in women's at the Indoor Championships last year in Lincoln. The Jayhawks finished ninth and seventh at the Championships, respectively.

Jayhawks defeated twice in Mississippi
The Jayhawks have lost three straight.
The Kansas tennis team's spring season is off to a rough start. The team fell to 1-3 after facing two Southeastern Conference opponents, Ole Miss and Mississippi State, during the weekend.
One of the top performers in the SEC, Ole Miss senior Chloe Carlotti showed why she is considered an all-court threat as her team defeated Kansas, 6-1, on Friday in Oxford. Miss.
A two-time All-American and All-SEC standout, Carliotti dominated Kansas freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva, 6-1, 6-1.
Ole Miss sophomore liona Somers knocked off Kansas junior Christine Skoda in straight sets, 6-2, 6-0. Skoda has lost her last three singles matches.
The only positive on Kansas' side was the display of resilience, courtesy of Ashley Filberth. The Kansas City, Mo., sophomore rallied after dropping the first set and came back with the victory against Mississippi freshman Carlin Cochran, 1-6, 6-3, 10-5. The victory avoided a possible shut out by Ole Miss, as Filberth improved her singles record to 2-0 on the year.

Senior swimmer Becca Zarazan comes up for air during the 200 yard butterfly. Zarazan took first place in the event earning nine points and helping Kansas to a 196-99 victory against Iowa State Saturday afternoon. Zarazan was one of six seniors honored prior to their final home dual meet.
The recent momentum of the Kansas swimming and diving team left Iowa State drowning in its own waves. The Jayhawks defeated the Cyclones and walked away with their first conference victory, leaving the Cyclones 0-3 in Big 12 Conference swimming.
Although the Jayhawks were 0-4 in the conference leading up to the Iowa State competition, the victory topped off the season, adding to the momentum the team had experienced since coming off its training trip during winter break.
"Anytime you win within the Big 12, you've got to enjoy it," coach Clark Campbell said.
Prior to Saturday's meet, the six senior women were recognized in a bittersweet ceremony that set the atmosphere for a victory.
The team supported one another in the last attempt to have a couple extra qualifiers before heading to College Station, Texas, in two weeks.
Campbell said the team learned a lot about swimming an emotional meet when it visited Arkansas. The Jan. 29 meet was senior day for the Razorbacks, and they put their emotions aside and still swam well against the Jayhawks.
The team has won four of its last five meets since returning from training in the Bahamas, but now that the Jahawks have finished the dual meet season with a splash, it's time to prepare for championship swimming.
"We kept our emotions in check and came out ready to perform," Campbell said after the meet. "We learned at Arkansas and used them as an example for today."
Both Campbell and first year diving coach Eric Elliot said they thought the team was prepared for the Feb. 23 championship.
mate how prepared the team is to swim fast at conference," Campbell said. "It's really amazing. All 23 swimmers and three divers are flying high. We're tired, but we're healthy."
Elliot and the divers will compete in the Big 12 Championship at the end of February and then turn around and head to the Zone-Diving meet at the beginning of March.
Elliot said he was impressed with the way things had come together for the divers.
"No one should underesti-
"Our goal is to peak going into conference," Elliot said. "We've put some new dives together, and we just need to
sharpen them."
As for Campbell and the swimmers, they will endure one more week of tough practice to increase the fatigue that they have already experienced this season. Campbell calls this training method a "crash cycle."
Following the hard week ahead, the Jayhawks will begin tapering for the championship, resting up and swimming less yards per practice.
Campbell said he expected that after some rest, the team would be set to have some qualifiers for the NCAA championships, which are in March, as well as a couple for the 2005 World Championship Trials at the beginning of April.
Part of the Jayhawks domination Saturday came from their race victories and depth in the pool. They won every event in the meet except the three-meter diving and 200-yard Individual Medley. They also placed second, third and fourth in numerous races.
"First places win dual meets, but depth is what scores points at conference." Campbell said.
The Jayhawks have the depth that is needed for success, and with a little rest after a four-meet winning streak, the Jayhawks will take their momentum to Texas and challenge the rest of the Big 12 on Feb. 23.

Rebounding key to victory
Kansas, Nebraska make offensive boards the name of the game
BY MRANDA LERNING
mlenning@hansan.com
HANSAN SCHOOL OF PHYSIOLOGY
LINCOLN, Neb. — The Kansas front line turned in its best performance of the year Saturday, matching Nebraska rebound for rebound during its 78-65 victory.
The Jayhawks pulled down 38 total rebounds,11 on the offensive end,and scored 12 on second-chance points.
"We knew to be successful we had to come in and rebound well," junior forward Christian Moody said after accumulating eight points and six rebounds.
It only took the Jayhawks a little more than 3 minutes to pull down six offensive rebounds.
Kansas coach Bill Self said his team and Nebraska coach Barry Collier's squad both rebounded well.
Fourteen of the Cornhuskers' 33 rebounds were on the offensive end, and they converted 14 put-back points.
"They missed 37 shots and got 14 offensive rebounds, which is too many." Self said. "But we missed 28 shots and got 11, which I'm sure Barry would sav is too many."
It didn't matter how many times either team missed jump
shots. It seemed that every time the ball clanked off the rim, the shooting team regained possession.
Cindy Yeo/KANSAN
The Cornhuskers aggressively went after loose balls, once getting three offensive rebounds on a single possession, and finished the first half with seven offensive rebounds.
"I think it's just scratchy Nebraska," senior forward Wayne Simien said. "They're the number one rebounding team in the conference right now. They did that well in the fieldhouse a couple weeks ago."

Sinien posted a game-high 14 rebounds despite being the focus of Nebraska's defense.
"It's something we're definitely doing better," Simien said of his team's rebounding performance.
Kansas left the Devaney Sports Center with a hard-fought victory.
One of the reasons for Nebraska's offensive rebound numbers was Self's decision to play a zone defense for portions of the game.
"They really hurt us on the offensive rebounds when we went zone," Self said. "I bet they got five of their offensive rebounds."
Keith Langford, senior guard, and Christian Moody, junior forward, flight Nebraska's Wes Wilkinson, junior forward, for the rebound with 8 minutes remaining in the game. The Jayhawks finished with 38 rebounds.

Quick
Kodiak Quick, junior right-handed pitcher, threw a three-hit shutout that gave the Jayhawks their first scoreless opponent since the 2003 season. Quick threw 95 total pitches and recorded eight strikeouts in the Jayhawks' first opening day victory since coach Ritch Price took over in July 2003. Hilo's starter, senior John Matson, pitched only 2.2 innings and allowed two runs.
"Kodak Quick was special today. It was really nice for him to come out and set the tone for us," Price said. "This is a great way to start the season." Offending, the Jayhawks did not act as.
though they have been burdened by the cold preseason Kansas weather. Sean Richardson, senior catcher, led the way, going 2-3 with two runs scored, two RBI and a home run. Matt Baty, junior left fielder, went 1-2 with two walks and a run scored.

lvhawks lose four of five to open season
The Kansas softball team began its season last weekend at the Arizona Pepsi Classic in Tucson, Ariz. The team lost four of five games, but almost upset nationally ranked Arizon.
The team lost close games to Oklahoma State, 3-2, and No. 2 Arizona, 4-3, Friday at Hillenbrand Stadium.
Later that day, the team nearly came up with an upset. Serena Settlemier made her first start in nearly two years after having surgery on her wrist. She gave up four hits and three runs in the first inning, but settled down and pitched a complete game.
On Saturday, the team split its games, defeating New Mexico State, 8-4, and losing to Northwestern 7-1.
The Jayhawks concluded the tournament yesterday with a loss to Tulsa 3-2.
The softball team will head to Las Cruces, N.M., to play in the Hilton Classic and face Purdue at 4 p.m. Friday.

Not on Saturday.
The play of the Kansas seniors, led by Langford, kept the Jayhawks strong even when they were leading by a large margin, something they have struggled to
do all year.
"We were a much more focused team today." Self said.
Perhaps the Kansas seniors wanted to force the coaches to be a little more creative with their coaching tactics next year.

Teams framed for success
BY JASON ELMQUIST
jelmquist@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The men's basketball team wasn't the only Kansas team to return from Nebraska with a victory over the weekend. The KU men's bowling team won its fourth tournament of the season at the Maverick/Husker Classic in Omaha, Neb.
The men had led throughout most of the first day but fell to fourth after their last play on Saturday. Down 189 pins to Lindenwood University, the men "hung tough," said senior Rhino Page, to come out with a 46-pin margin of victory against Nebraska-Omaha.
"We were able to persevere and pull through." Page said.
Page finished first overall at the tournament with a 220-pin average. Junior Zach Taylor, a transfer
Despite the tournament being the smallest that the men have played at this year, said coach Michael Fine, the competition was tough. Three other top-15 teams on the collegebowling.com ranking system competed at the tournament.
from Nebraska, earned his first top-five finish of the season with a third-place pin average of 206.
"Zach is a key player. He gives the reads to the team." Page said. "When we switch lanes, he tells us what we need to do. Without him on the team, we don't make it."
"It was our smallest tournament, but it was not a cakewalk." Fine said.
The women's team also went up against a small field, as it finished second in a field of five yesterday.
The women were able to shave
14 points off the difference between them and tournament winner, Lindenwood University.
The teams' second place finish is its third of the season. The team continued its stretch of top-10 finishes in all tournaments this season. While it has been close all season, it has yet to clinch a tournament victory.
Senior Kelly Zapf took the top spot overall on the women's side with a pin average of 204.
"There needs to be another step to win a tournament," Zapf said. "We have to be good with our spare shooting and our first shot, making sure we leave no splits or other tough shots."
times is freshman Natalie Bennett.
Zapf also said that they have let bad frames linger during the next few frames, and by the time they get motivated and back up, they have fallen out back from the leaders. One woman bowler who does not seem to be fazed at those
Bennett picked up her first top-five finish of the season, as she finished in fifth place with a 185 pin average.
The play of Zapf and Bennett along with the rest of the bowlers on the women's team has "positioned them well" for the post season, Fine said.
"Lindenwood and Omaha are going to be teams we'll battle against to get to the national championship." Fine said. "We established that we are better than Omaha and that we can compete with Lindenwood."
The men's and women's teams will finish the regular season Feb. 19-20 at the Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis. After that they will have IBC sectionals on March 19 to 20.

SUPER BOWL
Patriots live up to dynasty status
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Dynasties don't have to be perfect or pretty. They just have to win — like the New England Patriots.
The Patriots won their third Super Bowl in four years with a dominant second half last night, wearing down the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21.
It wasn't overpowering, and at times it was downright ugly. But it was more than enough to match the Dallas Cowboys' run of the 1990s and certify the Patriots of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady as the NFL's latest dynasty.
With MVP Deion Branch tying a Super Bowl record for receptions with 11, Brady efficiently running the offense and Rodney Harrison sparking a smothering defense, the Patriots
won their ninth successive postseason game. That ties the record of Vince Lombardi's Packers of the 1960s, and there's hardly any better company a team can keep.
The difference once again was an Adam Vinatieri field goal, this one a 22-yarder with 8:40 to go. New England won its other two Super Bowls by the margin of Vinatieri's kicks.
Philadelphia (15-4) got the ball back at its 4 with 46 seconds remaining. It was hardly enough time and far too much territory to cover against such a formidable foe.
THE CHAMPION IS IN THE MIX
Harrison got his second interception with 9 seconds remaining to end it.
Playing before a sea of mostly green jerseys in the crowd of 78,125, the Patriots made sure Philadelphia would not get its first pro sports title since 1983.

Safety fixed on a dime
Safety fixed on a dime
et for the Today, pus at a standard Bailey.
Officials balance cuts campus security
By Amanda O'Toole Senior Staff Writer
Crime is down at the University of Kansas, but so is the number of certified officers and the overall budget for the Public Safety Office.
Today, two officers patrol the campus at any one time — the minimum standard, said Captain Schuyler Bailey. The bike patrol is used only for
football, and students say they'd like to see more officers on campus.
So would KU's public safety officials. In the past decade, budget cutback meant their office was trimmed more than $115,000. That led to the layoffs of about eight positions including both office staff and officers, said Ralph Oliver, director of public safety.
Now, the University employs 29 certified officer. About eight years ago, that number was closer to 35.
Officers who have more responsibilities and fewer reasons to stay. A growing campus, frequent turnovers and a constant rotation of rookie officers make keeping students safe a bigger burden than in the past.
Daily tasks, such as patrol, paper work and crime investigations leave officers little, if any, time to perform other important duties like networking on campus and public education, Oliver said.
"We spend time putting out brush fires and we don't have time to water the plants," he said of daily tasks and crime prevention.
Some officers have workloads that would have been handled by two people before budget cuts, Cant. Schuyler Bailey said.
More to Do
For example, Bailey is in charge of community service, which requires him to sit on boards such as the Campus Safety Advisory Board, in addition to filing paperwork, scheduling officers, training officers, working with the media and other daily activities.
In 1985, those duties were assigned to two different people the information officer and the community service officer, Bailey said.
Crime investigations also are affect ed.
Bailey said investigations are limited
The KU Public Safety Office began to see changes in the budget in the early '90s. Below are three cuts that were made in the past decade. Cuts have led to the elimination of about eight jobs including officers and other office staff.

Chris Keary, assistant chief, said he didn't know how many investigations the office was currently conducting.
and take longer to complete because fewer officers are available to conduct interviews and gather evidence.
At least one rape that was reported in November was being investigated. Officers completed two more rape investigations last semester that were sent to the Douglas County district attorney's office. The district attorney will decide whether there is enough evidence to go to trial.
Still Safe
Oliver also cares whether students feel safe.
The main responsibility of the safety office is to keep students safe.
"It people perceive they are unsafe, it doesn't matter what the reality is," Oliver said.
Overall, crime on campus has gone down 40 percent between 1997 and 2004, but in the 2002-2003 academic year, crime increased by 6 percent, according to a March public safety office press release. The increase was attributed to more bikes being stolen.
But rapes — however infrequent — and other highly publicized crimes on campus make some people edgy, Jeff Mack, Rome, Ga. graduate student, said.
Mack lives in Stouffer Place apartments on the south side of campus.

Eves on KU
The first phase of placing cameras around the University has started with installations on Daisy Hill, but a specific deadline has still not been set. Safety incidents last semester prompted the advancement of the project, including a Sept. 27, 2004, incident when a female student was robbed at gun point in the GSP-Corin parking garage.
There are two phases planned for the installation of cameras
+ Phase one: GSP-Corbil Hall and parking garage, Parking Lot 300 (Lied Center and Dole Institute), perimeters of residence halls
- Phase two. Two academic buildings, the Kansas Union, the Student Fitness Recreation Center, libraries
Cameras are already in place at Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse. The cameras are used for crowd control during games.

Deanna Psilopoulos, a Lewis Hall desk assistant, hasn't felt safe on Daisy Hill since two incidents last semester near the parking lot of the Lied Center.
"I walk from campus to here late at night sometimes," Psilopoulos said. "It's not as safe as it used to be."
As part of Chancellor Robert Hemenway's project to improve safety and security on campus, new security cameras on Daisy Hill will be installed. But for residents and employees of residence halls, the project isn't moving fast, Psilopoulos said.
Three aggravated assaults were reported since 2003. The most recent incident happened Sept. 27, 2004 when a female student was robbed at gun point in the GSP-Corbin parking garage.
"We're still ordering equipment and finishing our study," she said.
A specific deadline has not been set for project's completion, said Rhonda Birdsong, KU public administrator.
The KU Public Safety Office is working with Capital Electric Company, a state-contractor, to determine how many cameras will be used and where to install them, Birdsong said. The cost of the project is being negotiated. Capital Electric Company will install the cameras.
Psilopoulos, Providence, R.I. senior, said cameras on Daisy Hill would help make the area feel a little more safe, especially for residents walking back to the residence halls at night..
The project focuses on Daisy Hill, the Lied Center, Jayhawker Towers and GSP-Corbin Hall, said Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor.
A female student was attacked by knife-point while walking to the Lied Center from a residence hall in October 2003, and another female student was attacked by knife-point at the GSP-Corbin parking garage in February 2007
CAMPUS THEFT
"It's kind of an intensive project," Birdsong said. "It takes time to get it done properly."
Tightened security needed at Underground

Preventing theft has become a priority for management at The Underground. Because of this, security guards and cameras will be its newest addition.
Employees of The Underground in Wescoe Hall have noticed students stealing food and beverages, said Karen Lewis, manager of The Underground. But she said they were not able to watch the doors and students at all times.
"We were not expecting this to become such a big issue," Lewis said. "We did not have as
many theft problems at the old Wescoe Terrace."
Management for The Underground may install three surveillance cameras, which would be located at the entrances and exits, Lewis said.
Until then, The Underground's employees have begun watching students more closely.
It may also hire a private security officer to help patrol busier times, she said.
"This has become a very serious issue," said William Kelly, assistant unit manager of The Underground. "It could lead to students getting caught and charged with theft."
The problem may be the new design. The food and beverage area is more spacious, which causes crowds that can lead to stealing occurrences, Lewis said. Also, the accessibility of doors near the cash registers make it easy for students to exit before paying.
Lewis warned that stealing food causes prices to rise to compensate for lost costs.
But taking food out of The Underground isn't the only way students steal food.
All the theft adds up. Employees estimate about $20 worth of food is stolen everyday from what they can see and catch.
"I watched a guy eat all his
fries while waiting for his Chick-Fil-A," said Rebecca Goldberg, Dallas sophomore. "He threw the wrapper out, and I doubt he paid for them."
Employees said they had watched students eat food in line and throw the wrappers away before reaching the cashier.
Employees said they couldn't stop students from doing this because they were busy helping others and were unable to reach suspects through busy crowds. Lewis said she hoped the addition of cameras and security would help these situations.

Hospital closing leaves students fewer choices

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When a young girl was released from a Topeka facility for suicide watch, Marsha Epstein, director of Headquarters Counseling Service, took a call from the girl's father.
He was panicked because he and his wife had no way of getting to Topeka to pick up their daughter — a problem that Epstein said shouldn't have occurred.
"This is a big enough community that we need a crisis stabilization unit." Erstein said.
The closing of the mental health unit at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, left students and Lawrence citizens few options for mental care.
The unit, which closed last spring due to a lack of physicians, was the only inpatient facility in Lawrence. Those who are referred to LMH now must travel to other cities to receive care. The closest facilities for similar mental health care are in Kansas City and Topeka.
Students at the University of Kansas have felt the unit's absence along with the Lawrence community. In the past, students were referred to LMH by KU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), and it was an effective relationship, said Pam Botts, associate director of CAPS.
Parents were assured of their student's safety and the unit was easily

About 30 students would have been referred to LMH by CAPS last semester. Instead, they were referred to outpatient centers in Lawrence such as Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 200 Maine St., or locations in Kansas City and Toneka.

The lack of an accessible inpatient mental health unit caused some recommended students not to seek treatment, Botts said, and that decision placed responsibility for their care on friends and family, which wasn't always ideal.
Botts, Epstein, and Higgins are concerned about the lack of a stabilization center that the closing at LMH created. There needs to be a facility in Lawrence where those in crisis can be stabilized — preferably where patients can stay for up to 72 hours. Botts said.
"People would just rather not go to state facilities," said Raymond Higgins, director of the University's psychological clinic.
Additionally, students with no insurance can be reluctant to seek

Rare civil rights activist film 'Eyes on Prize' shown tonight

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Because of copyright laws, a documentary that gives a thorough portrayal of the civil rights movement has become rare.
But "Eyes on the Prize," which shows the civil rights speeches of Martin Luther King Jr., will be showing tonight in Summerfield Hall at the University of Kansas' first screening of the film.
Downhill Battle, a nonprofit activist organization, is screening the film tonight in more than 50 locations in 22 states as a part of its "Eyes on the Screen" program.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how Martin Luther King Jr. stood against everyone who thought he was wrong, along with the impressions he made, not only in the United States, but around the world," Negrete said.
Aude Negrete, Overland Park freshman, said she was curious to see the work and vision that King had in bringing freedom to America.

Julian Portillo, Shawnee sophomore, worked with his fraternity Sigma Lambda Beta to make the documentary available to KU students as part of Black History Month.
"We're hoping that we can help spread awareness of ongoing and past battles of civil rights issues," Portillo said.
Watson Library has one copy of the series, but it is suspect to theft because of the rarity of the film. Portillo said.
"It's a shame that those who lay claim to the words of others can control the ideals that are espoused solely for financial gain." Portillo said. "Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and almost every other great leader of oppressed peoples had one vision: to let freedom ring — not chaching, cha-ching."
Nicholas Reville, co-director of Downhill Battle, said that copyright laws made "Eyes on the Prize" difficult to find. He said the documentary contained lyrics, songs and photographs that were copyrighted to other people. Reville said that Blackside Inc., which produced the film, could not afford to renew its copyright licenses in 1995. New copies of the film were not made after this date, and the film cannot be transferred to DVD.
Kelly Chong, assistant professor of sociology, showed the film to her 600-level sociology class last semester.

TOPEKA The state has issued more fines to restaurants since changing the food inspection program's guidelines and increasing inspector training after a 2001 review.
Records show that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued 611 fines since 2001 and collected $770,000. That is up from the 63 fines levied from 1998 through 2000. Sharon Watson, a spokeswoman for KDHE, said there were 7,433 licensed restaurants in the state.

Watson said the new guidelines and increased training resulted in stricter and more consistent enforcement of existing state codes. She also said fines were a last resort, used when restaurant owners didn't solve a problem after it was brought to their attention.
Inspectors mainly check to ensure that kitchens are free of rodents and insects and that food is properly handled and kept at the right temperature

President's budget goes to Congress
WASHINGTON — President Bush is sending Congress a $2.5 trillion spending plan, constrained by war and record deficits, that seeks to slash spending in a number of popular programs from farm subsidies to poor people's health care.
While calling it the tightest budget of Bush's presidency, Vice President Dick Cheney defended the spending blueprint against Democratic complaints that its austerity falls hardest on the poor.
"It's not something that we've done with a meat ax, nor are we suddenly turning our backs on the most needy people in our society," Cheney said on "Fox News Sunday."
The budget's arrival yesterday sets off months of contentious debate. Lawmakers from both parties are expected to fight for favorite programs.
Bush has targeted 150 programs for either outright elimination or severe cutbacks as part of an effort to meet his campaign pledge to cut the deficit in half by 2009, the year he leaves office.
For the 2006 budget year that begins next Oct.1, he proposes spending $2.5 trillion as he seeks to put the government on a path of declining deficits. That would occur, however, only after the government has recorded three straight years of record deficits, in dollar terms, including a projected $427 billion in red ink this year.

Pope faces more time in hospital
WORLD
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II will remain hospitalized a few more days as a precaution, the Vatican said yesterday, a day after the 84-year-old pope appeared at his clinic window to show the world he was recovering from his latest health crisis.
Papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said the pope, who he said was continuing to improve, had no fever, was eating regularly and has been sitting in a chair every day for several hours. Officials said the frail pope's sixth night at the clinic passed calmly.

CHURCH ABUSE SCANDAI
BY DENISE LAVOIE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Priest convicted in child rape trial
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Defrocked priest Paul Shanley, the most notorious figure in the sex scandal that rocked the Boston Archdiocese, was convicted yesterday of repeatedly raping and fondling a boy at his Roman Catholic church during the 1980s.
The conviction on all four charges gives prosecutors an important victory in their effort to bring pedophile priests to justice for decades of abuse at parishes around the country.
Shanley, 74, could get life in prison for two counts each of child rape and indecent assault and battery on a child when he is sentenced Feb. 15. His bail
was revoked and he was immediately led off to jail.
The victim, now 27, put his head down and sobbed as the verdicts were announced after a trial that turned on the reliability of what the man claimed were recovered memories of the long-ago abuse. Shanley showed no emotion as he stood next to his lawyer.
The jury deliberated 13 hours over three days.
During the trial, the accuser broke down on the stand as he testified in graphic detail that Shanley pulled him out of Sunday morning catechism classes and molested him in the bathroom, the rectory, the confessional and the pews starting when he was 6 and continuing for six years.
"He told me nobody would
ever believe me if I told anybody" he testified.
The accuser said that he repressed his memories of the abuse but that they came flooding back three years ago, triggered by news coverage of the scandal that began in Boston and soon engulfed the church worldwide.
Shanley, once a long-haired, jeans-wearing "street priest" who worked with Boston's troubled youth, sat stically for most of the trial, listening to his accuser's testimony with the help of a hearing aid.
The defense called just one witness — a psychologist who said that so-called recovered memories can be false, even if the accuser ardently believes they are true. A lawyer for Shanley argued that the accuser
was either mistaken or concocted the story with the help of personal injury lawyers to cash in on a multimillion-dollar settlement resulting from the sex scandal.
The accuser, now a firefighter in suburban Boston, was one of at least two dozen men who claimed they had been molested by Shanley. The archdiocese's own personnel records showed that church officials knew Shanley publicly advocated sex between men and boys, yet continued to transfer him from parish to parish.
Prosecutors said the young man had no financial motivation in accusing Shanley of rape in the criminal case because he received his $500,000 settlement with the archdiocese nearly a year ago. They also cited his
wrenching three days on the stand, during which he sobbed and begged the judge not to force him to continue testifying.
"The emotions were raw. They were real," prosecutor Lynn Rooney said in closing arguments.
"The validation that all the victims of Paul Shanley must feel today must be unbelievable," Ford said.
Rodney Ford, whose son Greg was one of three accusers dropped from the case, called the verdict "a relief for my son, and all the other victims."
Shanley's niece disagreed.
"There are no winners today. There are only losers," Teresa Shanley said. "We're no closer to finding out the truth about this scandal or finding out what happened."
MIDDLE EAST
Israeli, Palestinian leaders to declare end of violence
BY SALAH NASRAWI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt — Israeli and Palestinian leaders said they would declare a formal end to more than four years of fighting during a summit today in this Egyptian resort — a breakthrough in Mideast peacemaking that comes after both sides also accepted invitations to meet separately with President Bush at the White House.
The cease-fire deal was the clearest indication yet of momentum following Yasser Arafat's death, the election of a new Palestinian leader and a signal from the White House that it plans a renewed push for peace.
push for peace.
"The most important thing at the summit will be a mutual declaration of cessation of violence against each other," said Saeb Erekat, a Palestinian negotiator.
M. KHALIFAH
Erekat said the agreement also included the establishment of joint committees — one to determine criteria for the release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, and the other to oversee the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Palestinian cities on the West Bank.
An Israeli government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the cease-fire agreement and said it would also include an end to Palestinian incitement to violence.
to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will attend the summit Tuesday in this Egyptian beach resort, along with Jordan's King Abdullah II and the host, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. It will be the first meeting of the Israeli and Palestinian leaders since Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, succeeded Arafat after his death on Nov. 11.

UNIVERSITY LIFE
Colleges asking students for earlier donations
BY SAMIRA JAFARI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Leon Harris pays for his education at the University of Alabama on his own. He's drowning in student loans, he's between jobs and his dorm room just got more expensive.
Yet on a recent afternoon, during a break at the student center, the sophomore sat facing a banner that asked him to donate money to a new student capital campaign. The university wants each of its 21,000 students to give at least $2 toward a scholarship for someone who will be the first in his family to go to college.
"I don't have any money to give," said Harris, who's from Montgomery. "I give them a lot of money already."
Public universities traditionally have not solicited their undergraduates for donations — Alabama hasn't asked since 1922. But faced with state budget cuts and the need to remain competitive, schools across the country are beginning to focus on students as young as freshmen and sophomores as prime targets for fund-raising campaigns.
At California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, undergraduates give to a students-only fund, established in 1998, that's used for scholarships. Several schools, including the University of Georgia, solicit seniors to donate typically $55 to 50 for the betterment of the campus. At Auburn University, a few colleges within the university are asking students to make contributions in the amount of their class year — $20.04 for 2004, for example.
The movement isn't surprising, since public colleges and universities have turned their attention to younger and younger alumni over the years, said John Taylor of Durham, N.C., a higher education consultant who specializes in fund raising.
"You typically didn't approach people until a good five years post graduation. That seemed to be rule of thumb," Taylor said. "Over the last decade or two, we've seen that shift, so the day after graduation they're fair game. Now the shift has moved further to talking to seniors before they graduate, so logically that translates to the earlier you contact the student the better."

Do your part to prevent obesity live healthy
Obesity is rapidly becoming one of the country's — and even the world's — new health "epidemics." The spread of obesity is often compared to a disease, the rate of obesity rising at epidemic-like proportions. Several years ago, a CDC survey indicated that 64 percent of adults and 15 percent of children in the United States were either overweight or obese. College students are not exempt from this demographic.
The trend has recently made an impact in other countries where drive-thru convenience is appearing in vast numbers. The question is raised, how something as basic as food consumption can lead to a sudden increase in the numbers of overweight and obese people throughout the world, especially when world hunger is still a very real issue in developing countries.
The cause of this is relatively basic, according to the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control. Consuming too many calories without the correct level of activity to effectively burn these calories is considered the most basic reason for overweight and obesity. This happens because most people have a lifestyle that leaves little time for organized exercise and little time for planning a balanced and healthy diet.
In the university culture, long hours, studying, sleeping and socializing make finding the time to make a healthy dinner difficult. All to often, the drive-thru window or restaurant table becomes a familiar sight for people and some families eat fast food more than once a week. While genetics does play a role in the way an individual metabolizes energy and stores fat, bodies were not designed for obesity. Obesity is a preventable condition.
Nutritional education is cited as a cause for the sudden increase in obesity trends. The argument that people are simply not aware of what they are consuming, and the real effects that these products have on a body's function, is prevalent among advocacy groups.
While the push for nutritional education is important, people must consider the common sense factor when regarding food consumption. Fast food, and other high fat, high calorie meals are not marketed as healthful or beneficial to one's physical condition. They are so popular because they are inexpensive, available and easy. Nutritional education could serve a role in relating how these foods actually affect a body's function.
Nearly 10 percent of U.S. health care funds, are allocated for the treatment of overweight and obesity every year. Recently, obesity has been listed as insurable and can be covered by most providers. This new development leaves taxpayers covering obesity treatments as part of the health care system.
The question of personal responsibility comes into play when considering the implications of treating obesity as a clinical disease rather than a preventable condition.
The majority of people who are eating fast food regularly know the food they are consuming is not part of a healthy diet, and is riddled in fat, calories, sugars and other products which, if not burned off through activity, can lead to weight gain.
While it may be difficult to incorporate exercise into most daily routines, it is not impossible and is extremely beneficial in the long run. It also might not be convenient to sit down and plan a healthy diet, but it is well worth the time.
Meal planning and exercise are two small ways to change your lifestyle that will have big results later in life. Obesity is a complex issue with many facets that make a single solution impossible.
Taking responsibility for what you eat, and how much you exercise is an easy way to begin fighting the trends of obesity.

End ideological divide between value of life
EDITORIAL BOARD
"Culture of life". President Bush parrots this phrase to express the importance of protecting the lives of the weak and the unborn.
No one would argue against protecting life. The rhetoric may appeal to all as a noble goal but Bush has solidified his opinion which does not take into account the complexities of the issues.
According to the president, promoting life entails banning certain abortion procedures
embals sabbing and prohibiting federal funding for research that involves the creation or destruction of human embryos.
The implication that there is only one stance that protects life is insulting and a colossal oversimplification.
Everyone values life, but the shared aim is forgotten as people argue over their interpretations of what that exactly constitutes.
Saving lives manifests in
Saving lives manifests in many forms and the "debate" should not stop at the fetus. Those who support using stemcell research to potentially discover cures have life in mind.
Humans on both sides of the political spectrum care about saving lives, but in different ways. We must reach across the aisle and save lives in all stuatoins, not just the ones that suit our interests
As do those from such disparate groups as those against the death penalty and war, those who call for stricter gun control laws and those who fight to combat poverty and hunger.
On the 32nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Bush called in to an anti-abortion march offering his support as can be read on whitehouse.gov.
It is unfortunate that issues that are as complicated and significant as abortion have such hardened polarized sides that slogans and hostility replace any sensible debate.
and the nation is in desperate need of finding common ground.
Thus the issue presented in partisan black and white boxes is offensive to women and the rest of society.
A woman who contemplates having an abortion by no means makes such automatic distinctions due to an infinite array of circumstances that she must also consider.
While this received both scrutiny and praise, Hillary Clinton delivered a speech two days later that was well received by those on both sides of the political aisle by her
Bush's prescription only fortifies these opposing sides and it further erodes the environment in which real discussion can take place.
No one can present a valid argument to someone who has already made up their mind.
appeal to reason and compassion.
She addressed the common goal of reducing abortions by preventing unwanted pregnancies in the first place. She simultaneously opposes government control over a woman's body and recognizes the need for keeping abortion "safe, legal, and rare."
Her entire speech can be viewed at friendsofhillary.com.
"Crossfire"-esque attacks accomplish zilch
She gives respect to the pro-life community for their moral reasoning and opens the doors for the traditional rival camps of "pro-life" and "pro-choice" to begin civilized discourse and work towards agreeable approaches for protecting lives.
She has also taken action in accordance to her words by co-sponsoring the Putting Prevention First Act.
She states the act would "increase support for family planning, ensure that heath care plans that cover prescription drugs also cover contraceptives, and expand access to emergency contraception, including for victims of sexual assault."
The lesson to be learned from Hillary's approach on abortion is that this nation needs to drop the dualistic mentality of right versus wrong and appreciate the complexities that each issue presents.
It is critical for people in the United States to unite in our collective values to form a political culture where citizens can have valid debates that are not judged on verbal wit but instead on objective truth.

Gay marriage ban won't end loving couples
On the morning following the upcoming city commission and school board general elections, your neighbors will go about their business almost exactly as the day before. The Kansas bill, SCR1601, more commonly known as the "marriage amendment," will likely pass on April 5.
If the 11 states that have voted on this issue are any indicator of the future, the odds are almost inescapable that the marriage amendment will pass. This will codify in our state constitution the second-class status of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender citizens.
Are there same-sex unions being legally recognized in Kansas? The answer is no, or perhaps more accurately, not yet. Presently, there are no "activist" judges plotting to impose a "homosexual agenda" in Kansas. Furthermore, there isn't even an effort on behalf of the LBGT community to lobby for marriage or civil union benefits.
Sure, we might call them "commitment ceremonies," "public declarations," "holy unions" or some other watered-down term, but in essence, same-sex couples are saying "I do" with or without the government's blessing. Gay marriages will continue to happen regardless of the April 5 outcome.
But are same-sex marriages happening in Kansas? Much to the right wing's dismay, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only are they happening in Kansas, they're happening in Kansas churches.
We are planning one right now. In the midst of this political warfare, I'm picking out flowers, selecting a cake and debating color schemes.
We're also consulting a lawyer so we can each draft a living will and power of attorney. We shouldn't have to spend the time and money to secure a mere fraction of the 1,049 rights heterosexual couples gain with a $75 license. We shouldn't have to fight for access to a spouse who is in the hospital. We shouldn't have to worry about our employers recognizing our future children on a family health insurance plan.
We shouldn't have to struggle for these things, but we will. The bottom line is whether there are difficulties or not, we will be together. No matter how many laws are passed reinforcing homophobia, we're still enamored with one another. On April 6, we will be just as head-over-heels in love as we were on April 5.
Perhaps there is a small silver lining to the marriage amendment. While it would be an embarrassment to our state and a step backward for civil rights, perhaps the legislature will finally stop neglecting issues like education and health care. After all, it seems strange that they chose to begin with such a politically inert issue, even while a mandate from the Kansas Supreme Court emphasized the urgency of education funding.
In the end, the dismal reality is that SCR1601 is going to make a place for discrimination in the most important document in Kansas. It will foster hate-mongering, shame and resentment in the hearts of those taking opposing sides.
But no matter how bitter we may be tempted to feel after the balloons are counted, one factor reigns supreme. The two of us, like many LBGT Kansans, will form life-long, committed relationships that are marriages in every sense but the formal name. Love refuses to submit to lawmakers or the ballot box.

lamps make him feel safer, he said. But he would like to see more patrol.
Two officers are patrolling the campus in cars at any given time, Bailey said.
A bike patrol or foot patrol would help increase officer's rapport with students and command a greater presence. Mack said.
Laura Winzenread, Edmond, Okla., senior, also said students would feel safer if they saw officers on foot patrol.
Now, public safety officers seem more like traffic officers than safety officers, she said.
"They need to be where the crime happens," she said. Wienrenread was referring to parking lots at GSP-Corbin and on Daisy Hill by the Lied Center where students have been threatened with guns and knives at least twice in the past two years.
She said it was not enough for the officers to simply drive through the parking lots.
Mack said officers could be doing more.
"They might be able to utilize what they have," Mack said. "They could at least get out of the car."
The office does not have any plans to add patrols in the near future. But the University is taking other measures to increase safety around residence halls and parking lots across campus.
The public safety office is trying to implement a new surveillance.
lance system on campus.
The cameras would first be installed in the parking lot around GSP and at the parking lot on Daisy Hill by the Lied Center, said Rhonda Birdsong, KU public safety office administrator.
Both locations have been the scene of crimes in the past few semesters, including two separate incidents where students were threatened with a knife.
Birdsong said she hoped the system would be up this year, but plans had not been approved.
Cutting back
Oliver said his initial reaction to budget cuts in the early 90s and again in 2001, was to decide what the office could and couldn't afford to lose.
About six officer and clerical positions were cut over the past few years, he said.
Operating expenses — the money that covers everything that isn't salary — were left alone.
Those expenses for the 2005 fiscal year is almost $290,000 and pays for the costs of uniforms, officer training, car maintenance and telephone and radio contracts.
The safety office spends at least $4,000 each month, approximately — 16 percent of the operating expenses — for gas and car repair, Oliver said. That increases as gas prices increases.
Operating expenses also cover emergency situations at the office. Last year, $35,000 was taken out of the account to repair damages after Carruth-O'Leary Hall, where the office operates, was struck by lightning.
While Oliver said he tried not to eliminate services entirely, some have been cut back so much that they're almost gone.
One example is the KU Bicycle Program. The program had five officers and one supervisor when it began in 1990.
Now the bike patrol is limited to home football games.
Some officers are interested in reviving the service, but Oliver said the office would have to hire at least four more officers before that could happen. The budget could not support even one more salary, he said.
Some Big 12 universities, such as Colorado and Missouri, have more extensive bicycle programs.
They are important on college campuses because they allow for more contact between students and officers, said Colorado's Lt. Tim McGraw and Missouri's Capt. Brian Weimer.
One KU service that is almost gone is a campus-wide lost-and-found program. In the past, all lost and found stations across campus worked directly with the safety office. Lost and found officials met on a regular basis, Bailey said.
People often notified officers if they had found something a wallet or keys. Now, Bailey said someone from the various lost and founds from buildings across campus dumps a box of lost items off at the safety office about once a month.
"It decreases the value of life for students," he said. "Now they call and you have to send students out looking for their things at different lost and founds."
Bailey would like to see the system revert to the way it was and expand the program to the Web.
But such changes would require more staff, which is something the office can't afford, Oliver said.
The Public Safety Office struggles to keep officers on staff.
Competing numbers
Oliver attributes a high turnover rate to non-competitive wages.
POLICE
Nearby police departments, such as Eudora's and Shawnee's offer salaries that are anywhere from 4 to 20 percent higher than wages at the University, he said.
KU Public safety officers are paid around $28,000 if they are certified. That officer could make $3,000 to $7,000 more annually at police departments in nearby small towns. Oliver said.
It takes at least a year to train a new employee every time an officer leaves the program. Training takes trainees as well as experienced officers off the street.
About a year and a half ago, the safety office lost six officers, Oliver said though the officers were replaced, the office has just gotten back to the point it was at before they lost the officers.
And the turnover rate won't change until a remedy is found.
"Johnson County is killing us," Bailey said of losing officers to nearby towns.
Oliver said that in the early '80s the safety office offered salaries that were comparable to the Lawrence Police Department and other university safety programs.
Officers generally stay about two to three years at the KU Public Safety Office, Oliver said.
Stephanie Farlev/KANSAN
Officers are also paid about $38,000 to $42,000 depending on skill level. Though this is more expensive than a KU officer is paid, the cost of living is much higher in Boulder, Colo. McGraw said the department was in constant competition with surrounding departments.
Sgt. Bob Williams goes through recent campus incidents with Capt. Mark Witt and Officer David Haney at a police briefing in the KU Public Safety Office yesterday. The force goes through three briefings every day, one for each shift. The office has about 29 commissioned officers, which is six less than 10 years ago.
ropolitan area, McGraw said.
The police department at the University of Missouri also relies on current technology to retain officers.
He said his university's department paid somewhere in the middle of the salary spectrum of surrounding departments.
Laptops are in every patrol car at Missouri and cut down the time to file reports Weimer said.
Weimer said officers liked to work with the technology, and they valued it.
Other Universities
Missouri officers make approximately $31,500 plus benefits. Weimer said a higher salary is cheaper than constantly retraining officers.
Theresa Klinkenberg, the University's chief business and financial planning officer, is working with the safety office on the proposal.
"We'd like to keep good employees," she said.
Such a program would be University-funded and would supplement officers' salaries.
Other Big 12 safety programs rely on incentives to keep officers.

The State Civil Service System sets those salaries along with other positions included in a classified system like facility operations.
Though wages have increased because of the cost of living, Klinkenberg said it's been at least 10 years since the Legislature undated the system's base.
Colorado's public safety officers are allowed to work out for about an hour each shift. The department subsidizes memberships at an athletic club; and officers have to carry pagers with them in case they are needed while at the club.
Safety office officials met with Chancellor Robert Hemenway in December to discuss a possible solution to the high turnover rate, Oliver said.
Perks like this and an indoor shooting range keep officers from leaving the force for one of the 100-plus surrounding departments in the Denver met-
Though he couldn't discuss specific details, Oliver said he would like to have a retention incentive to keep officers on staff. Oliver would like a retention program in place within the next three years.
Getting the job done
He said he is worried about 2008, when about five or six experienced officers will be eligible to retire.
Oliver said he wasn't sure what he'd do if the chancellor denied the retention incentive.
For now, his focus remains on student safety. He will keep three officers patrolling at all times of the day. Though he'd like to see the program expand, he said all he could do was to maintain the level of service the KU Public Safety Office provides the University.
"We're operating under the restraint of what we have," Oliver said.

Self adjusts minutes

Kansas coach Bill Self wants to be able to count all of the players in his rotation on two hands.
That's why in Kansas' last four games, Self has delegated most of Kansas' playing time to nine or 10 guys.
Sophomore guard Nick Bahe, freshman forward Darnell Jackson, and junior guard Stephen Vinson crouch near the sidelines before entering the game against Texas on Jan. 29. The Jayhawks finished with a 90-65 blowout victory.
With a starting rotation that includes Keith Langford, Aaron Miles, J.R. Giddens and Wayne Simien, bench minutes are going to be less abundant than on most teams that rely heavily on reserve players.
But in the jayhawks' last four games, Self has clearly delegated
roles to his reserve players. In turn, Self said, his team has played more consistently.
"The positive is that we are playing better," Self said. "The negative is that guys could get frustrated because they are not playing. I haven't sensed the frustration yet."
He doesn't, however, ignore the fact that some players are bothered by a decrease in playing time.
Early in the season, Self handed out minutes to the bench players based on how they performed during practice the week before a game, and also game-time performances.
Freshmen Darnell Jackson and Russell Robinson are two players who haven't seen much court time

Freshmen not living up to hype
In October, some fans heralded the five freshmen as the next coming of Michigan's famous Fab Five of the early '90s. Those freshmen led the Wolverines to two national title games in their first two seasons.
The freshmen on the Kansas men's basketball team began the season with high expectations.
Perhaps they were too high.
Now two freshmen are injured, two ride the bench and the other averages less than 10 minutes and less than three points a game. That will have to change in the next six weeks.
Other fans had a more realistic outlook for the 2005 Jayhawk freshmen: that the frosh quintet would add depth to a senior-heavy title contender.
This team needs depth. The Jayhawks fielded talented but shallow - teams in the 2002 and 2003 NCAA Tournaments, and both teams wore down in the Final Four. If the Jayhawks win a championship this year, the difference will be their depth.
Imagine if freshman forward Alex Galindo and sophomore guard J.R. Giddens had been Jayhawks two years ago. Even Syracuse's high-flying Hakim Warrick, who rejected senior guard Mike Lee's desperation three-point attempt in the final seconds of the 2003 national championship game, couldn't block a Galindo or Giddens shot. They're too tall, and their ball-release is too high. Lee are too tall, and their ball-release is too high. Kirk Hinrich were that team's only three-point threats and that shallow backcourt sealed the team's fate.
If the freshmen don't step up in the next few weeks (selection Sunday is 33 days away), the Jayhawks will be eliminated again. The front-court lacks a dominant rebounding presence. The team is again struggling to find a backup for senior guard Aaron Miles, who runs the point so well, but must do so for more than 31 minutes a game.
Things will get better when Galindo and freshman forward C.J. Giles return from injury. They are fine role-players, something a championship team needs.
If Robinson becomes the ball handler and defensive monster we saw early in the season when he had 13 points and three steals against Nevada, he will be the ideal substitution when Miles needs a rest. If Jackson could use his wide body to its full potential, it would do wonders to erase the Jayhawks' rebounding deficiency.
Freshman guard Russell Robinson and freshman forward Darnell Jackson, however, impressed early in the season but have faded to obscurity in recent weeks.
In any case, the emergence or continued disappointment of the drab five will determine whether this team finally gets it done in the Final Four.
Maybe they'll bounce back. Maybe they're just getting their sophomore slumps out of their systems before they have to replace one of the most talented senior classes in the 107 years of Kansas basketball.

"The new driving range is going to be our 'wow' factor when people come driving in down Crossgate," said Alvamar superintendent Kent Morgison.
The KU golf teams, as well as visitors and veterans, will benefit from the improvements, he said.
Though excavated dirt and a few buldozers are all that are visible of the Alvamar Golf Club by the time April rolls around the view will be of a new driving range and golf course.
Renovated greens for teams, public to open soon
In early October, the club ended its golfing season early to begin massive renovations to
The new driving range will have larger grass tee hitting areas, target greens, bunkers and accurate yardage markings. The additions to the driving range will make it better to look at and practice on, Morgison said.
the golf course and driving range. Construction is under way, and the course is expected to have its grand re-opening in mid-April.
Landscapes Unlimited Inc., out of Lincoln, Neb., will construct the range project. The company specializes in golf course renovations and construction.
The golf course will be improved as well. When the course re-opens in April, all 18
greens will be brand new. The new greens will be Crenshaw Bent 962. Around the golf business, this type of Crenshaw grass is referred to as 'the new generation.' Morgison said.
The new greens will be similar to the greens on the private course of Alvamar and will be faster and more true than the regular old grass. This new grass also benefits the greenskeepers because it does not need as much water as most types of grass. The changes on the public course will benefit players of all ages and abilities.
Brad Demo, head golf professional at Alvamar, 1800 Crossgate Dr., said that the changes to the public course would be more amazing to the
newcomers than to the regulars of the course. But the changes that have been made will give those newcomers an opportunity to play and practice at a state-of-the-art facility from the start, he said.
"The new golf course is going to be attractive to a wide variety of people from small children to movie stars." Demo said.
The changes will especially benefit the men's golf team, which will move back into its home when the course re-opens. While the Jayhawks have been playing at the private course in the meantime, players are excited to move back to the public course.

Renovations to a new driving range are underway at Alvamar Golf Club on Feb.3. The public course was closed in October 2004 to begin renovations and will be re-opened in mid-April. The KU men's golf team will practice at the private course at Alvamar until renovations are finished.

Kansas dominates six-game season opener in Hawaii
The Kansas baseball team continued its hot start Sunday, moving to 3-0 by sweeping a doulbleheader from Hawaii-Hilo.
Kansas won game one 7-6 with Andrew Rebar, senior pitcher, getting the victory out of the bullpen. After Kansas led 5-0, Hawaii-Hilo tied the game with five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.
The explosion sent Sean Land, sophomore starting pitcher, from the game. Rebar entered to relieve Kansas of the bases-loaded jam.
PETER KAUFMAN

Kansas regained the lead for good in the top of the sixth inning when Jared Schweitzer's, junior first baseman's, sacrifice fly ball sent Erik Morrison, freshman third baseman, across home plate. Don Czyz, junior pitcher, closed the game for his first save of the season.
In the second game, the Jayhawks won 6-0 behind a strong pitching performance.
Mike Zagurski, senior left-handed pitcher, picked up the win along with Logan Murphy, freshman pitcher and Michael Fitch, senior pitcher, on a four-hit shutout of the Vulcans.
Kansas broke a scoreless tie with four runs in the top of the sixth inning. Ryne Price's, freshman second baseman's, two-run triple put the Jayhawks on the board. Matt Baty, senior center fielder, followed with a two-run double.
The series continues through tomorrow before the Jayhawks head to Palo Alto, Calif., to face Stanford.
More than blood binds brothers
BASEBALL

Stephanie Farley/KANSAN
team sports players know that teammates often develop a bond unlike any other.
Some refer to the bond as a group of brothers. If the bond between teammates is that strong, consider the relationship between two teammates who are also brothers.
That's the story for Kansas baseball players Ritchie Price, junior shortstop, Ryne Price, freshman second baseman and Matt Baty, junior left fielder.
"Baseball is one of those timeless games," Ritchie said. "You go outside and play catch with your dad and pass it down from generation to generation. That's the great thing about it."
Ritchie has been an important piece of the Jayhawk lineup for the past two seasons, starting at shortstop in his freshman season. In 2004, he batted .359 at the plate and recorded a .954 fielding percentage.
Rarely is Division 1 baseball a family affair, but it is for Ritchie (back) and Ryne Price and Matt Baty. Ritchie, San Luis Obispo, Calif., junior, is starting shortstop for the University of Kansas and his brother Ryne, Lawrence freshman, is second baseman. Baty, Wichita junior, plays left field. Baty's brother, Ryan, also played for the jayhawks and was recently drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
"He knows what needs to be going on out there," little brother Ryne said.
If practice and potential are a predictor of future performance, Ryne will soon be following in his older brother's footsteps as the other half of the middle infield. He could take the starting second baseman spot this spring, just like his brother. Ryne said he was glad to have his older brother around.
Ryne brings with him an impressive resume from his high school career. After moving to Lawrence with dad, coach Ritch Price, when he took over in July 2003, Ryne began attending Free State High School. While there, Ryne was named to the 2003 and 2004 All-Metro team. Free State also named him the team MVP at the conclusion of his senior season.
"Especially on defense," Ryne said. "He always lets me know where I need to be."
"It is cool to see him out there, but when we're out there he's just another dude on the team," Ritchie said.
The playing Prices aren't the only happy ones.
"I think my mom's happy because she only has
to come watch one game," Ritchie said
In contrast to the Prices are Ryan and Matt Baty. As the Price brothers become teammates, the Baty brothers have parted ways, because older brother Ryan graduated and was drafted to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Along with Ritchie, Matt also became a starter during his freshman year.
"My brother was definitely a person that I try to follow in his footsteps," Matt said. "He's a great leader."
During the 2004 season, Ryan and Matt took the field together 60 of the 65 games. Ryan set an example for his younger brother, hitting .355 with a .997 fielding percentage at first base.
Not that Matt needed much teaching, as he hit
.344 last season and recorded a .963 fielding percentage.
Matt will miss his older brother's presence on the diamond, but that is not what weighs on his mind while playing.
Whether brothers or simply teammates, the job must be done. Blood relation is not necessary for real teammates to go to bat for each other on the field and off.
"From my standpoint, I'll always have my brother," Matt said. But, he added, he knows that replacing Rwan on the team is more important.
"I've been playing ball without him (Ryan) for a long time, so it's just another day," said Matt.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quin Snyder might be sleeping better after school officials insisted they have no plans to fire him. But the Missouri coach insists that reassurance makes no difference in how he coaches a team that seems to be in freefall.
"We'll always approach things with an eye toward winning today and also building toward tomorrow," Snyder said yesterday during the Big 12 coaches' weekly teleconference.

Athletics director Mike Alden took the unusual step Friday of calling reporters around the state, telling them Snyder would definitely be back next year despite a growing chorus of criticism.
Missouri then went out Saturday night and got rout 91-63 at Texas A&M, their seventh loss in eight games. At 10-12 overall and 11th in the Big 12 with a 2-7 mark, they're headed for Snyder's worst season in Columbia, Mo.
Nevertheless, Snyder appeared on Saturday to be looking to the future. Sophomore Linas Kleiza, Missouri's top scorer and rebounder, sat much of the game as punishment for getting a technical foul in Missouri's previous game.
Missouri's previous games.
"We've made tough decisions all year this year at various times," Snyder said. "It's probably had a difficult short-term impact on our team. But with respect to winning right now this year, there have been things we've had to deal with. The psyche of this team has required a lot of work and it continues to require that. For us to be the team we want to be, those aren't things you learn in the offseason."
Missouri's trip to Texas A&M was also the first for Missouri assistant coach Melvin Watkins since he resigned under pressure last year as the Texas A&M head coach. In Watkins' final year at A&M, the team went 7-21 overall and 0-16 in the league.
"That had to be a very, very difficult situation (for Watkins)," Snyder said. "A place you'd been, a place you'd given your heart to."
The victory over Missouri clinched the Aggies first winning season since 1993-94; they now stand at 15-5, and 4-5 in league play, under new coach Billy Gillispie.

No surprises in Big 12 standings
BY KELLIE ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
With every Big 12 Conference men's basketball team at least halfway through its conference schedule, the standings appear to fulfill preseason poll predictions.
Kansas and Oklahoma State were the pre-season favorites, and currently sit at first and second place respectively. Baylor was supposed to be the cellar dweller. And with only one league victory, the team is firmly entrenched in last place.
The only true surprises are Texas A&M, which has four victories in league play, and Missouri, which owns just two conference victories.
The only undefeated team left is Kansas and it seems to be in control of its own destiny. But three southern schools — Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Texas Tech — are within just three games. At this point, it appears that any of the top-four teams could take home a conference title.
"I see Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas or Texas Tech coming out of there," Kansas coach Bill Self said when asked what teams had a chance to win the Big 12 regular season title.
All three teams are competing for the title and an automatic NCAA Tournament bid. But several others are fighting for at large berths in either the NIT or NCAA post-season tournaments.
"The Big 12 is tough, and is one of the top conferences," senior guard Keith Langford said. He said he thought five or six teams could make the NCAA tournament.
Kansas (18-1, 8-0 Big 12): The Jayhawks looked vulnerable in the early going, narrowly defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Texas A&M Aggies at home. They do appear to be getting into a groove, though, after winning each of the team's last three games by an average of nearly 17 points per game.
Projected Finish: First. If Kansas takes care of its games against northern division teams, it can afford to lose once or twice and still take home the title.
Kansas must still travel to Oklahoma and Texas Tech, while enduring a home contest against Oklahoma State along the way.
we know what those games will be like."
"We've got a small lead at halftime, but the first half is not near as important as the second half." Self said. "It's about to get a lot tougher. We haven't been to Texas Tech yet. We certainly haven't gone to Oklahoma. Kansas State and Missouri —
Oklahoma State (18-3, 8-2 Big 12): The Cowboys lost two early road games, but that seems to be forgotten now. They have quietly won seven conference games, with an impressive victory at Texas Tech.
"You look at Oklahoma State and they've got two losses," Self said. "But they were at Texas and Oklahoma."
Oklahoma State, the defending Big 12 champion, is finished with the hardest part of its schedule and is in the best position to capitalize on a Kansas loss.
Oklahoma (17-5, 6-3 Big 12): A week ago, the Sooners looked like the real deal.

tournament.
They gave the Duke University Blue Devils all they could handle in New York to start the season. Then they defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns in impressive fashion.
Times got a little rough, however, when Oklahoma then lost to Iowa State and Texas Tech.
With road games against Texas and Texas Tech remaining, Oklahoma has little room for error. Still, with a healthy Kevin Bookout, junior forward, this team will be tough to beat.
"They're a dangerous team," said J.R. Giddens, sophomore guard and Oklahoma native.
guard and Oklahoma native.
Taj Gray, Andrew Lavender and the freshmen and sophomore guards that they have are very good and talented. They can shoot and have an inside presence with Bookout."
Projected Finish: Fourth Oklahoma will be back in the NCAA Tournament this year, but the team's remaining schedule is far too difficult to allow it to contend for a conference title.
Texas Tech (14-5, 6-2 in conference): Bob Knight's team seems to be peaking at the right time. After suffering losses to Oklahoma State and Texas, Texas Tech rebounded with a victory at Oklahoma.
BIG 12 CONFERENCE STANDINGS
"Texas Tech might be playing better than anyone else in the league right now," Self said.
If the Red Raiders continue their recent play, they will be a factor in the conference race until the bitter end. With home games remaining against Oklahoma and Kansas, and a rematch at Oklahoma State Texas Tech certainly has the opportunity to make some noise
Projected Finish: Third. The Red Raiders have solidified themselves as an NCAA Tournament team.
BIG 12 CONFERENCE STANDINGS
TEAM CONFERENCE RECORD OVERALL RECORD
W L W L
Kansas 8 0 18 1
Oklahoma State 8 2 18 3
Oklahoma 6 3 17 5
Texas Tech 6 2 14 5
Texas 4 4 15 6
Texas A&M 4 5 15 5
Kansas State 3 5 13 6
Iowa State 3 5 11 8
Nebraska 3 5 10 9
Colorado 3 6 11 9
Missouri 2 7 10 12
Baylor 1 7 9 10
Texas (15-6, 4-4 Big 12): Texas is starting to play like the team that lost its best player. Since their leading scorer, sophomore guard PJ. Tucker, became academically ineligible to play, the
Longhorns have lost three of their last four games.
Projected Finish: Fifth. Playing Colorado, Kansas State and Baylor in the coming weeks will help get Texas back on track, but it has lost too many games to contend for the conference title.
Nobody expected anything out of the Aggies after they went winless in conference play last season. With four league victories thus far, though, they are in solid position to post the best record in school history.
Texas A&M (15-5, 4-5 Big 12): At this point, Billy Gillispie is the favorite for Big 12 coach of the year. And he deserves it.
"At the midpoint, I would say Texas A&M has been a pleasant surprise." Self said.
Projected Finish: Sixth. The NCAA Selection Committee frowns upon teams with conference records below .500. But if Texas A&M can earn eight total conference victories, it will likely receive a bid.
Kansas State (13-6, 3-5 Big 12): After sweeping Missouri and beating up on Iowa State, Kansas State looked like a team on the rise. Though they lost to Colorado at home, Self is still impressed.
Iowa State (11-8, 3-5 Big 12): Coming off back-to-back victories against Oklahoma and Texas, Iowa State is starting to show signs of life.
Projected Finish: Eighth. Each of the Wildcats' conference defeats was a nail-biter, and senior forward Jeremiah Massey is one of the conference's best big men. At this point, though, the NIT is all they can hope for.
"They've got a nice team," Self said. "I think they are much improved."
Only one ranked team, No. 3 Kansas, remains on the Cyclones' schedule. If sophomore guard Curtis Stintson continues to excel, the team could make a run at eight or nine conference victories.
Source: big12sports.com
Projected Finish: Seventh. Iowa State still has an outside shot of making the NCAA Tournament, but it needs to win seven of its eight remaining games.
Nebraska (10-9, 3-5 Big 12): The Cornhuskers have suffered a number of tough losses this year, and coach Barry Collier still hasn't led his team over the hump.
Projected Finish: Tenth. They're only playing for pride at this point.
Colorado (11-9, 3-6 Big 12):
When Colorado lost at Baylor, it looked like Ricardo Patton's team was the worst team in the conference. Recent victories over Missouri, Kansas State and Iowa State, however, give Colorado the appearance of building toward the future.
Projected Finish: Ninth. This team is gaining confidence and it could knock off a contender down the stretch.
Missouri (10-12, 2-7 Big 12): Everyone knew the Tigers would be down this year, but few thought they would fall this far.
Missouri has enough talent to compete, but it's only league victories are against Nebraska and Iowa State. And neither came easily.
Projected Finish: Twelfth. The upcoming game with Baylor could determine last place in the conference.
Baylor (9-10, 1-7 Big 12): The Bears' only league victory came against the Colorado Buffaloes at home, but this is a much-improved team.
"Baylor has been much better than a lot of people thought they would be," Sell said.
Projected Finish: Eleventh. They're still a few years away, but freshman guard Aaron Bruce is one of the conference's best freshmen and will be a dangerous player for years to come.

Renovated
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"It's unbelievable how the changes will affect us," said sophomore Tyler Docking. "Having the new range will make it so much better for practicing irons. We will finally be able to see where our ball lands."
The faster greens that have been seeded will give the team better preparation for tournament play. Although the greens on the private course are similar in speed and smoothness to the new greens going in on the public course, the length of the public course will make it better in preparing for the bigger tournaments because it requires a driver off many of the tees.
"The new greens will help us a great deal in getting ready." Docking said. "It will be nice to play on faster greens because that is what we'll see in tournaments."

order to have a great senior season.
Confident
Following the Illinois state meet her senior year, Pogioli expressed to the Journal Star that she felt good about her senior year.
Despite the hard work that she put in the summer before her senior year of high school, she still had major changes to make in order to train to the best of her ability with the Jayhawks.
Among the adversity of coming to college, Pogioli also struggled with getting used to the Kansas swimming program.
Defining the problem and taking steps to prevail through the problem took almost her entire freshman year.
"I was having a hard time," Pogioli said. "First semester was tough anyways, plus high school and USSS swimming were not as intense as college swimming."
She felt as though she wasn't in shape, she said, and things snowballed from there. Not only did she feel slow, but the proof was on the clock after every race.
"I was really depressed because I was swimming slower," Pogioli said. "It was such a big change, and I had to adapt to the training. I got really discouraged, and I felt like I couldn't do anything."
She said she realized after her freshman season that she needed to take some steps to have a successful sophomore campaign.
For that support, Lai Pogioi turned to her older brother, Giordan, a junior swimmer at Purdue.
She joined her brother and maintained a tough training regimen with Purdue coach Dan Ross throughout last spring and all summer.
"Purdue's program and training is a lot like Kansas." Lia Pogioli said.
She said she saw the results when the 2004-05 season kicked off in October.
She wasn't the only one who noticed the results. Coach Clark Campbell also saw Poglioli's improvements.
"The past summer of training at Purdue with coach Dan Ross instilled in Lia that she is a very good distance swimmer," Campbell said. "Lia is simply more confident in herself."
Even now, practices seem easier, Pogioli said.
"I'll say to a teammate, 'wow, that practice was easy,' and they'll say, 'no Lia, you're just in better shape," she said.
With a little boost of confidence and a head start on training, Poglioli has been a key asset to the Jayhawk swim team. She specializes in distance freestyle and has had some outstanding performances this year.
Although the 1,000-yard free isn't a race at the Big 12 Conference swimming Championships, Poglioli will be stepping up and swimming the mile. The mile is 66 laps, opposed to the 40 that Poglioli is used to.
With her newfound confidence and hard work ethic, the future looks bright for Pogioli, Campbell said.
"She is definitely maximizing her potential each and every day." Campbell said.
"The forward momentum has really helped me," Pogioli said.
She recently recorded her season-best time in the 1,000-yard freestyle against the Arkansas Razorbacks on January 29. She clocked in with at time of 10:27.87.
Poglioli, Campbell and the Jayhawks will take their momentum to College Station, Texas, for the Big 12 Conference Championships in two weeks.

Coaching hunt begins for Patriots
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Deion Branch needed just five little words to explain why the New England Patriots have won three of the last four Super Bowls.
BY DAVE GOLDBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Asked yesterday if he had any thoughts of leaving the team when he becomes a restricted free agent, the Super Bowl MVP replied: "My home is in Foxboro."
Then, referring to team owner Robert Kraft,
Branch added: "I'm proud of the family that Mr.
Kraft has built."
An emphasis on winning over money is what drives the Patriots to success in an era when free agency and the salary cap force major turnover at most teams each season.
most teams each season.
Next season's Patriots certainly will be different than this season's. The biggest losses are not players but coaches: Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis is the new head coach at Notre Dame, and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel accepted the Cleveland Browns' head coaching job immediately after Sunday night's game.
Crennel's move, which gives the NFL a record six black head coaches, was hardly a secret. As the Patriots' 24-21 win over Philadelphia was ending, coach Bill Belichick put his arms around his two top aides in a gesture of affection and appreciation.
"Romee and Charlie have done a great job. A lot of the success we've had should go to them," Belichick said Monday. "I've been with them both a long time. I go back to 1981 with Romeo and I'll miss both of them a lot."
They will be hard to replace.
The Patriots might, too.
The San Francisco 49ers came closest to three NFL titles in a row, winning the 1989 and 1990 Super Bowls, then losing the next NFC championship game on a last-second field goal by the New York Giants' Matt Bahr.
New York Giants' Mike Bann
That New York team, which went on to beat Buffalo in the 1991 Super Bowl, had a coaching staff headed by Bill Parcells and including Belichick, Crennel and Weis, along with future NFL head coaches Tom Coughlin, Al Groh and Ray Handley. Two of the players on that team are also coaches and are reportedly on Crennel's wish list for his staff with the Brown's: Pepper Johnson, New England's defensive line coach, and Maurice Carthon, the offensive coordinator in Dallas under Parcells.
Next season, they will be seeking to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls and the first to win four in five seasons.
under Pierce. Belichick's first order of business, therefore, is rebuilding his coaching staff, although he will take at least a week off, traveling to California for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Most of the core players, however, should be back, although some are getting up there in age, notably linebacker Willie McGinest and safety Rodney Harrison, both of whom have played major roles in the team's success. Harrison, who had two interceptions in Sunday's game, will turn 33 next December, when McGinest will turn 34.
One member of the Patriots unlikely to return is cornerback Ty Law, who missed the second half of the season with a broken foot after quarreling with the team over his contract in training camp.
And while Belichick indicated that the team will spend the next few weeks renegotiating contracts for salary-cap purposes, Law's deal is unlikely to be among them. With rookie Randall Gay and second-year player Asante Samuel at cornerback, the Patriots obviously did well without him; after Eugene Wilson left the Super Bowl just before halftime with an arm injury, they played the second half with Harrison as the only regular starter in the secondary.
That's how the Patriots work — they always find someone to fill in without losing a step.
nid someone to Branch, who had 135 yards in receptions and tied a Super Bowl record with 11 catches, was the game's MVP, but it could have been any one of a number of players: Harrison; linebacker Tedy Bruschel; or Mike Vrabel, who played linebacker, defensive end, had a sack and also caught a touchdown pass for the second Super Bowl in a row.
Or, of course, it could have been quarterback Tom Brady, the MVP in the Patriots' first two Super Bowl victories, who played his usual steady game.
"Every time we play, it's a total effort from everyone," said Branch, an emerging star who had a 60-yard touchdown catch and a 23-yard TD run in the AFC title game in Pittsburgh. "It's a total organizational effort from the top down."
Some of the top of the organization will be missing with Weis and Crennel gone. Belichick said that he had been too busy working on the Super Bowl to start considering replacements, although it's a sure bet he has some in mind.
Then he brushed off all the talk about a dynasty.
"Every year is a new year," he said. "We start at the bottom with the other 31 teams."
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
LSU women rank highest in AP poll
BY CHUCK SCOFFNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LSU swept all 44 first-place votes from a national media panel, and the top six teams remained the same in the AP women's basketball poll.
The Lady Tigers (21-1) were No. 1 for the second straight week and eighth time this season.
No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Duke each received a first-place vote last week, but LSU got them all this time.
Baylor climbed one spot to seventh after beating Top 25 opponents Kansas State and Texas Tech. The victory at Tech was Baylor's first in Lubbock since 1982.
North Carolina, Michigan State and Connecticut each moved up one place to com-
plate the Top 10. A 57-44 loss at Connecticut dropped Rutgers from seventh to 11th.
Iowa State, the surprising leader in the Big 12, went from 19th to 14th for the biggest jump within the poll. The Cyclones (18-2), who already have matched their victory total for last season, routed Colorado and beat Texas last week.
Texas fell four spots to 17th

and freshmen Alex Galindo and C.J. Giles have been out with injuries for the last four games.
Robinson, especially, is a guy who played a key role early in the season but has found himself far down on the bench recently. In the last minutes of the Baylor game on Jan. 25, Self tried to insert Robinson in the final minutes of the 86-66 victory, but Robinson declined to go into the game. He admitted to being frustrated, but he said he simply wanted to allow his teammates to get some playing time.
On the flipside, juniors Jeff Hawkins and Moulaye Niang, along with freshman forward Sasha Kaun, have squeezed their way up the bench. Senior guard Mike Lee has been the one dependable reserve player for the Jayhawks all season.
Another difference in the Kansas rotation is that the starting five have been more aggressive offensively, leaving fewer opportunities for the reserves to excel. Against Missouri on Jan. 31, Kansas' starters scored 71 of the Jayhawks' 73 points. In Saturday's contest against Nebraska, the starters scored 61 of 78 points and played 166 out of 200 possible combined player minutes in a game.
"Players understand,' Okay, I am going to play this amount of minutes," Miles said. "They're not worried about how many minutes they are going to play. They know what they need to come in and do."
Senior guard Aaron Miles said shortening the bench was good because it helped players identify their roles.
Now, the question is whether the rotation will stay the same for the rest of the year. Self said he expected Giles and Galindo to return to the line-up in the next couple of weeks. Both played well for the Jlayhawks before they got injured.
Self didn't say where those guys would fit into the revolving Kansas bench, but he said the current situation was not permanent.
"The nine we are playing now could be a different ten." Self said. "I feel that we will play better if we play nine, maybe 10 at the most."
MEN'S BASKETBALL NOTES
Junior Forward Christian Moody, who has been nursing a sore left ankle since the Kentucky game Jan. 9, rolled the ankle again on Saturday.
Moody said that he hurt almost every day, and that there is a chance that he may not be 100 percent for the rest of the season. He said he knew what he needed to do to be effective on the court despite the injury.
"It affects my jumping." Moody said. "I've had to rely on boxing out harder and use my body more because I can't get up as high."
* Gelbey did, not travel with, the
Camino did not travel with the team to Lincoln, Neb., for the Jayhawks' match-up against the Cornhuskers.
He has played less than two combined minutes in Kansas' last four games because of an injured groin muscle. Galindo said that he received treatment and did a cardiovascular workout on Saturday instead of traveling with the team.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he hoped Galino would return before Saturday's game against
"I think we will get Alex back sometime this week for sure." Self gaid.
- For someone who said he was definitely going to play against Nebraska, Giles didn't look the part when he showed up in street clothes accessorized with a pair of crutches on Saturday.
Wednesday, Giles said he was certain that he would play against the Cornhuskers, but yesterday he told the media that after participating in some half-court drills last week, his injured right foot swelled up and he couldn't practice anymore.
Yesterday Giles said that he would try to go half-court again, but he still claimed that his foot was healthy.
"There ain't nothing wrong with it, really," Giles said.
But Self had a different opinion.
"He can do the bicycle and that's about it," Self said.
During the last three games, Niang has slowly moved himself into the Kansas rotation. He played eight minutes against Texas and six against Missouri. On Saturday, he added another eight.
Niang's most minutes prior to Texas was 11 against Texas A&M, but he had accumulated only eight minutes over the course of six games between that contest and the game against Texas. Moody said that Niang's quick feet on defense make him valuable when the Jayhawks face quick post players.
"Moulaye knows that's his job, to get out there and us his quickness to guard some of the quicker four players," Moody said.

Crews battle snow, costs
Adam Peterson, a general maintenance and repair technician at the University of Kansas, works to clear the snow across from Strong Hall yesterday afternoon. Peterson and other employees shoveled the snow from stairs and handicap areas in the midst of the snow storm.

When snow piles up at the University of Kansas, so do the costs.
Included in the costs are labor, equipment, fuel and chemicals used to help melt the snow, he said. The actual amount of snowfall determines the amount of money the University can spend in removal,he said. Heavy snowfall can cost the University up to two or three times the average cost of $20,000.
Snowfall like yesterday costs the University about $20,000, said Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations.
"Every event is different." Riat said.
"It really depends on a lot of things
Between 100 and 150 Facilities Operations staff clean steps, sidewalks and other areas trucks cannot easily reach. Crews actually started early yesterday, not waiting for the normal starting point when an inch of snowfall had accumulated, he said.
like how much it snows and whether or not it freezes."
Campus parking lots are the most difficult places to clean up, especially when everyone is still on campus, said Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department.
When snowfall reaches 6 inches or more, crews may spend more than 24 hours physically removing the snow. The costs for removal also increase.
Facilities Operations usually waits until 3 or more inches of snow layers
the parking lots before they send crews to clean it up. Rait said.
Hultine said that crews were quick about cleaning up the snow on campus yesterday.
"It was definitely a relief on campus," she said. "KU is pretty responsive to getting stuff done."
Parking on Jayhawk Boulevard and Memorial Drive was closed yesterday so that the snow could be quickly removed, Hultine said.
As of 8 p.m. last night, 4 inches of snow covered the ground in Lawrence, according to the National Weather Service. Both Riat and Hultine said they expected maintenance crews to work through the night to remove snow by this morning.

STUDENT SENATE
Commission talks about fines,voting

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The Student Senate's election commission held its first meeting Thursday to discuss online voting and the fine structure for candidates.
Last year, students could vote online in University buildings only. This year, students can vote online at any computer, whether it's at their home or on campus.
There will be no designated paper polling places on campus for the elections as there have been in years past. The election will be held online on April 13 and 14. There will be computers available for students to vote on campus.
"I'm really excited to see if online voting increases student turnout, because not enough students are voting."

one, said Elaine Jardon, Overland Park sophomore and Delta Force presidential candidate.
"I'm really excited to see if online voting increases student turnout, because not enough students are voting." tardon said.
Nick Sterner, Shawnee junior and KUnited's presidential candidate, said he was looking forward to the online change.
"I think it's a great opportunity for more student turnout," Sterner said. "I think this can really open up where the votes come from."
However, with the online rule changes, it also opens up more opportunity for voter fraud, elections commission chairman Luke Thompson said.
Thompson, Lawrence sophomore, said the commission would work hard to prevent voter fraud in this year's election.
With the new format, Thompson said, it would be easier for students to influence other students' votes by letting them use their computer to vote online.
Thompson said another concern would be the candidates' closeness to a computer while someone is voting. If the candidates are close to a computer, they could influence a voter's decision.
"The commission is taking steps to prevent anything like that from happening in this year's election." Thompson said.
The commission is implementing a new fine policy that will be more strict than the fine policies from years past.

Name engraved onto the Campanile
BY DANI LUTT
dlitt@kansan.com
kANSAN STAFF WRITER
Second Lt. Raleigh Chase Bowlby Jr.'s name was added to the Campanile yesterday. His name was left off the list about 55 years ago when the memorial was constructed.
The omission was first noticed in the 1960s when Kathy Booth, the daughter of Bowley's widow, attended a football game at Memorial Stadium. Mary Jane Cunningham, Bowley's widow, remarried after the war.
"I always knew of Raleigh, but didn't dwell on it out of respect for my dad." Booth said.
Booth and her husband visited the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C., in June. Booth saw Bowly's name and began to question why Bowly wasn't on the Campanile walls.
"We always thought he just didn't meet the criteria," Booth said. "But seeing his name in Washington sparked an interest. We wanted to find out if he met the criteria or not."
Booth, who lives in Sterling, speculated that his name was left off because the University's attempt at contacting family and friends of fallen World War II soldiers did not reach her mother in California.
A call to University Relations confirmed that he did meet the criteria and that his name should have been among the other 276 soldiers.
Booth said she does not believe that Bowlby's parents heard about it either.
"Our intention was just to find out if he qualified." Booth said. "We wanted to see if they could just add

his name to the archives. We are honored that they would honor Raleigh like that."
Midland Marble and Granite of Independence, Mo., donated the material and installation services to the University to fix the omission.
"Compared to what he did, this is nothing," said Bryan Caton, CEO of Midland Marble and Granite. "This is something we can give back to the family."
Bowby's name is located at the bottom of the middle column of names on the east side of the Campanile.
The family will also receive a replica of the 2.5-by-23-inch piece of marble with Bowlbv's name engraved on it.
The Campanile was dedicated on
May 27, 1951 to honor the soldiers who died in World War II.
A list of the other soldiers remembered on the east and west walls of the memorial is available at www.carillon.ku.edu.
Bowly's family will be invited to the University this spring to attend a dedication of the addition of his name on the memorial.
Bowley enlisted in the Army in February 1941. He was only one semester away from graduating with a degree in business from the University, family members said. He was killed in action near Cassino, Italy, on April 8, 1944.

Veteran fought in Army
Second Lt. Raleigh Chase Bowlby Jr. was born May 3, 1918. The Marion native attended the University of Kansas after high school where he studied business. He was one semester away from his degree when he enlisted in the Army.
He was inducted into the Army on Feb. 22, 1941 at Fort Joseph T. Robinson in Arkansas at the age of 22. He became a member of the 137th Infantry of the 55th Division.

In July 1942, Bowlby attended officer candidate school for the infantry in Georgia and was sent to the 88th Division, which was credited with defeating the Hitler line at Fondi, Italy. The division was first stationed in North Africa and was relocated to the Italian front.
Even though Cunningham and Bowley did not have children, Bowby's memory was kept alive. Cunningham passed her wedding ring from Bowly to her daughter, Kathy Booth, and to her granddaughter Marsha Parr.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the 35th Division was sent to California and became a unit of the West Coast Defense Command.
Bowley died in action on April 8, 1944 in Cassino, Italy. He was survived by his wife, Mary Jane Cunningham, and his parents, Raleigh Chase and Marie Wight Bowly. He married Cunningham in 1943. They were high school sweethearts.

Proposed bill may remove staff from state control
PROPOSAL
BY DANI LITT
allitt@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger testified before the Legislature Monday, advocating the proposal of a bill that would remove some KU staff members from the confines of the State Civil Service.
The release from the state-controlled program would eliminate rigid job titles and could result in salary increases for some of the 1,400 classified employees at the University. The state sets rules for job titles and University employee qualifications and salaries.
The bill, which is called House Bill 2020, or Senate Bill 74, also would allow classified positions and salaries to be managed by the University and the Board of Regents.
Maintenance, food service, carpenters and police are some of the
categories of classified employees, said Ola Faucher, director of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity.
State Civil Service gives little room for advancement, eliminates merit-based bonuses and does not allow the University to handle disciplinary appeals, Shulenburger said in a prepared testimony for Monday's hearings.
University employees can often find higher paying jobs outside the campus, Faucher said. An electrician for example, can receive better pay in a private sector in Kansas City, Kan. or Topeka, she said.
"The salaries are not adequate and do not reflect the difficulties of our geographical location," she said.
The proposed plan would not cost the state any money, and would return accountability to the University and the Board of Regents, Chancellor Hemenway
If the bill is passed, universities will not be required to adhere to the changes. University officials can still choose to have their employees remain a part of the State Civil Service.
said to the committees, Chancellor Hemenway and Shulenburger spoke before the House Higher Education and the Senate Ways and Means Committees.
Classified senate, a committee consisting of classified employees, voted to pursue the bill, said Kip Grosshans, associate director of administration of student housing.
"Our request, if granted by the Legislature, would give us the same advantages enjoyed by other public universities." Shulenburger said.
The University, Kansas State University and Colorado University are the only Big 12 schools to remain under a state civil service.

Recreation center roof leaking
BY ADAM LAND
land@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The recreation center's roof has been leaking for about a year, Mary Chappell, director of the recreation center, said. The water is coming through one of the building's 13 heating-and-air units, which are on the roof of the building. The worst leak appeared after the ice storm a month ago, Chappell said. An air conditioning unit froze and cracked, allowing water to seep inside the center.
The Student Recreation Fitness Center has not been open for much more than a year, but the staff is facing a leaky roof after rain and ice storms.
MARINO WEEKEND
The water has not leaked onto anything it could harm yet, Chappell said. The water is not on the hardwood floors; so far, it has been over the aerobic center and some areas patrons do not use.
"The leaks are not really a major factor," Chappell said. "We're going to take care of the problem before it gets out of hand."
Leigh Baker, Wellington junior, participates in boot camp at the Student Recreation Fitness Center yesterday as a leaking steam coil looms above Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said the steam coil froze, cracked and was now leaking in the aerobics room.
Contractors will often build penthouses, covered housings for air conditioning units, on the roofs of buildings. The new recreation center does not have a penthouse because the project did not have enough funding for the addition, Chappell said, and costs are hard to estimate because penthouses can be made out of many materials. Brick, concrete or metal can be used, and each comes with a specific cost.
Chappell said, but the University is going to look into fixing the problem shortly.
Estimates had not yet been drafted for the cost of fixing the roof,
"I think if you're going to spend students' money you should get it done right," Keri Wedel, Galva senior, said. "It's kind of frustrating that they did not do it right."

April 2002, and the recreation center opened on Sept. 29, 2003. The center cost $17 million, and more money is needed to fix the roofs. The money for the project came entirely from student fees, and will be paid off in 15 years, Chappell said.

The University of Kansas went through the process of re-accreditation last week by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. A part of its visit was to address what the University has done to answer concerns from its last visit in 1994. During its last visit, the NCA raised concerns about recruiting minority students and faculty, as well as retaining them at the University.
The NCA report said, "There needs to be a more systematic plan for accountability at the institutional and department levels for recruitment and retention," and "there are insufficient academic support services for under-represented students entering the University directly from high school."
Barbara Romzek, associate dean of liberal arts and science, led the steering committee that prepared a 300-page self-study that was given to the
committee before the re-accreditation process. The study showed the University's accomplishments and answered the concerns from 10 years ago.
The self-study stated that making the University affordable to students was a priority. Programs such as the Multicultural Scholars Program, which gives scholarships to minority students, help answer the accreditation team's concerns.
Alicia McDougal, Lenexa senior and member of the Multicultural Business Scholars Program, said that there have been improvements and that there has been an increase in the amount of financial aid opportunities and opportunities for minority students to get involved on campus.
Recruiting is difficult because of low minority population in the Midwest, Ola Faucher, director of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity said.
"We do the best we can give our environment." Faucher said.

minority and women faculty and staff was another goal for the University before the NCA team arrived. According to the self-study, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs certified the University's affirmative action plan in July 2003. The OFCCP outlined the general guidelines the University used to
monitor gaps in certain groups and what steps it should take to improve that group's representation.
Faucher said that competitive salaries at east and west coast universities make it more difficult for recruiting minority faculty.

Court rejects hearing death penalty request
TOPEKA — The Kansas Supreme Court isn't going to reconsider a recent ruling striking down the state's death penalty law, rejecting a request from Attorney General Phill Kline as expected.
Kline argued the court could strike down only the provision of the law it found objectionable, rather than the entire 1994 statute. He asked the justices to take up the issue shortly after they ruled in December.
ON THE RECORD
But last week, the court refused, without explanation. Spokesman Whitney Watson said Kline will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The law says that if the evidence is about equal, juries must choose death, which the court's majority said represented cruel and unusual punishment. The Associated Press

New year
compared now with 5A
"I like participating in the dragon dance because it is a good way to represent my culture to others and gives me a chance to get involved while I'm away from home," Duy Vu, Salina freshman, says.
Red-enveloped money does not always have to be fed to the dancing dragons. Older people usually give the money to youngsters to shower them with more wealth and prosperity in the coming year. Those who receive the li xi can opt to keep it until after the new year celebration is finished (usually about a week), and then spend it, or can keep it for the entire year in hopes of it growing. Spending the lucky money right away is not recommended because it foreshadows the way money may be blindly handled in the new year.
As with any other major festivity, food is a key ingredient in ringing in the new year. Though Americans eat turkey and dressing on Christmas and blackeyed peas on Jan. 1, Asian Americans enjoy traditional dishes such as rice cakes, rice waffles, sticky rice and various fruit candies. Food may be the biggest issue celebrating away from home, though, because most student-prepared meals can never compare to the goodness of mom or grandma's passed-down recipes.
"As a youngster I usually saved my red-enveloped money in a piggy bank. When I get my red envelopes now I spend them immediately," Jennifer Pham, Germantown, Md., freshman says. "I'm more of a shopper now than I was at the age of four."
"A lot of the mothers of VSA members will be making traditional dinners before the Tet Show, which helps a lot," Tu Le, Garden City junior, saws.
"I'm not sure if Jump Asian Cuisine will be at Mrs. E's, so to be safe, I've organized a dinner at Peking Taste for me and a group of close friends to celebrate the new year and have some good food." Pham says.
Many students will rely on local restaurants or dining halls to accommodate their Tet plans.
Another respectful tradition of Tet is the visit to elders. Young people wish the older people in their families and communities a happy new year, or "chuc mung nam mol," and have an opportunity to reconnect and receive advice from a different generation.
"Since it goes in order from eldest to youngest, I usually see my grandma first and then my parents," Sam Park, Leavenworth freshman, says. "I bow and stay down while they speak to me and tell me what my goals should be this year, as well as the things that I should change and improve on in the new year.
"It could range from 15 seconds to two minutes. Afterward I get a gift of either lucky money or new clothes."
Being close to home, Park will be able to travel to pay respect to his elders, though it will be on the weekend when he has more time to travel. Because Tet celebrations usually run for at least a week, this is acceptable.
"I'll be able to stay home for the weekend and celebrate with my family, but it won't be the same as in years past," Park says.
It really won't be the same as in years past. My mom isn't here to give me a handwritten grocery list to take to the Asian market. My dad won't be around to slip me an extra red envelope. But what really matters is that I will be keeping my cultural traditions alive on my own, with a new family of people to share the luck, wealth and excitement that every New Year brings.

Tsunami an education device

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The tsunami that recently destroyed parts of Asia and Africa will eventually be in students' textbooks. But Luis Gonzalez, associate professor of geology, is already incorporating it into this semester's curriculum for Earthquakes and Natural Disasters.
His worst fears came true after seeing news of the tsunami on TV. His first reaction was remorse for the death and destruction of so many innocent lives, Gonzalez said. He immediately knew this event would change the impact his class had on his students this semester.
The geology department at the University of Kansas has taken this tragedy and made it an opportunity to educate students. Gonzalez said all the instructors of introductory-level geology courses are educating students about what happened in December.
Only a month after the disaster, Gonzalez has already spoken in class about the tsunami. He has a lecture devoted to
"We can help students not be a victim if they are ever in a place where a tsunami is about to strike," he said.
TSUNAMI RELIEF
Assistant professor of geology Luis Gonzalez has posted a link to five relief effort Web sites on the Earthquakes and Natural Disasters Blackboard site. It includes The Red Cross, Mercy Corps, Habitat for Humanity and UNICEF. A more complete list of organizations can be found at www.npr.org.
"It was incredibly sad to see the lives of so many people destroyed, but showing it caught people's attention for a good cause," Allie Rubino, Naperville. Ill., freshman said.
This past week Gonzalez took time out of class to show a video clip from a Dutch TV station. The clip showed footage of the aftermath of the tsunami, specifically the victims.
Gonzalez said he showed the students the clip to spark awareness of the tragedy and help them see how many people the tsunami is affecting.
"It would be a great thing if students could open their hearts and give to the relief funds," Gonzalez said.

Celebrate male, female differences
Lawrence H. Summers, president of Harvard University, addressed why so few women were on mathematics and engineering faculties at top research universities at a Jan.18 conference.
According to The New York Times, Summers said "faculty positions at elite universities required more time and energy than married women with children were willing to accept." He also said innate sex differences could leave women less capable of succeeding and that discrimination could play a role.
Years of research and observations offer clear proof that men and women are different and that, generally, men excel more often in mathematics and sciences than women. This is not to say that women can't excel in these fields at the same level as men; it's just less likely.
Summers has since apologized for being misunderstood. This is the only apology he should give because his comments do not attempt to prove that women are inferior. Instead, they are a starting point for open dialogue between the sexes to promote understanding of our differences.
An explanation comes from our ancestors. According to Barbara and Allan Pease's book, "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps," men needed areas in the brain for long-distance navigation to hunt food. Women needed areas for short-range navigation to perform several activities simultaneously, including monitoring their surroundings and effectively communicating.
As a consequence of these needs, men's and women's brains developed specific areas to handle each skill. Studies have shown that the female hormone estrogen prompts nerve cells to grow up to 30 percent more connections between the two hemispheres of the brain.
Findings have also shown that men and women use different parts in their brains when working on the same task. According to R. Grant Steen's book, "DNA and Destiny: Nature and Nurture in Human Behavio," this is especially true for language.
During a verbal task, men tend to use a part of the brain on the left-hand side, at the front of the head, while women tend to use this region and a corresponding region on the opposite side of the head. In other words, men tend to do all the work of language on one side of their brain, while women use both hemisides of their brain.
When discussing the role of women in mathematics, Steen writes that "sex differences in variance imply that substantially fewer females than males will score in the top 10 percent of a test of mathematical or scientific ability".
In a meritocracy based purely on mathematical ability, males would be expected to outnumber females nearly two to one in the most demanding jobs. This is manifest even at the University of Kansas. Last year the ratio of undergraduate females to males in the mathematics department was 68 to 107. The ratio was 26 to 40 for math graduates and 6 to 26 for math faculty.
Of course, genetics is not solely responsible for differences between the sexes. Our environment and interaction with others proves just as influential. As human beings, we have a duty to treat each other fairly. We shouldn't resign ourselves to the stereotypes that females won't excel at math or that males won't effectively communicate. Nor should we indulge in false hopes or pursue something we aren't talented at.
Instead, we need to accept who we are, talents and flaws alike. Rather than make a moral judgment based on what others can and cannot do, we need to celebrate everyone's achievements.

PARKING AHEAD

EDITORIAL BOARD
Parking for games should not be priority
At 5 p.m. on Feb. 1, eager fans hurried to pack Allen Fieldhouse in anticipation of a great game against rival Missouri. But far on the other side of campus, other students hurried to pack the few remaining parking spots near campus to get to their evening classes on time.
Though congestion, traffic and the overall inconvenience that prevails during Kansas sporting events are nothing new, preventive measures can be taken to minimize problems.
The issue is the burden placed upon students who need to get to class or to on-campus jobs. Night class students unable to park must hastily navigate Lawrence side streets in hopes of finding a spot.
Students living in Jayhawer Towers and on Daisy Hill must wait 30 to 45 minutes to use main roads to get back on campus
after games, said Cpt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office. And Oliver Hall residents cannot return to campus at all during this time, as all roads are closed to incoming traffic.
Asking faculty, staff and students to leave work early or park away from campus during basketball games hurts the integrity of academics at the University.
Bailey said blocking traffic assisted the 16,000 fans at the game in leaving quickly, even though some people were inconvenienced.
expect, the final sentence is simply outrageous. The fact that the department would have the audacity to suggest professors and faculty change their schedules undermines the academic integrity of the University.
In an attempt to ease the inevitable traffic debacle, the Parking Department sent an email to alert faculty and staff of the potential parking problem that concluded with a suggestion: "If you have a flexible work schedule or you have supervisory authorization, please consider adjusting your work schedule so you can leave campus before 5 p.m."
Where do the University's priorities lie? Is it accommodating students or fans?
Though the department took a step in the right direction by informing staff of what to
The fact that the chancellor or his designee has preemptive authority to repeal the use of parking spots, which have already been paid
for, to use them during times when classes are scheduled is bonk. The idea that professors should cut out early to free up spaces is mind-boggling.
This puts pressure on the University to accommodate the influx of people on campus. The e-mail was a hasty way to try to make a bad situation better and try to free up some spots.
Donna Hultine, director of parking, said the alert elicited positive feedback, but problems were inevitable: "It's like the tide, it's going to happen anway."
The University must use more foresight in the future. An earlier warning would be more effective in reaching students and faculty.
The KU men's basketball is stellar, and this likely won't change. To say that occurrences such as Feb. 1 are rare would be imperceptive.
Asking students and staff to put their lives on hold won't cut it. A possible solution might include evenly distributing parking spots for students and fans and offering shuttles for other parking areas.

Iraqis take ownership in democracy
Other detractors asked whether Iraqis would appreciate a freedom they hadn't earned. America had earned its own freedom in the late 18th century by throwing the British out of the American colonies. We had won a glorious war to bring us freedom. In Iraq, we toppled their dictator with little or no help from them. We handed them freedom, and they had no ownership of it. Could they understand the value of freedom if they didn't have to fight for it?
At President Bush's State of the Union address, purple became the new color of freedom. Days earlier, Iraq held its first free elections in 50 years. The Iraqis in attendance during the State of the Union held up their index fingers, still marked by the purple ink they used to vote on election day, as a celebration of their newfound freedom. Iraqis also wore purple suits or purple ties to symbolize the democracy that they voted into legitimacy days earlier.
Detractors of the war in Iraq asked whether the Iraqi really wanted freedom. The American "liberators," they said, were being attacked daily by angry insurgents wanting to derail the train of democracy. If Iraqis were excited about freedom, they certainly didn't seem to show it, and if they did, the media weren't interested in letting us know.
For once, the University of Kansas should cheer the color purple.
"Everyone was ecstatic and all smiles, congratulating each other on the vote, and holding their purple index finger up in the air as prideful evidence that they had voted." Cpt. Carrie Batson, stationed near Najaf, told National Review "There were Iraqis leading the blind and rolling old women on carts to polling sites, and entire families entering the sites so the children could watch the parents vote."
On Jan. 30, the Iraqi people answered those detractors.
Though the exact numbers aren't known yet, the International Election Commission of Iraq estimated that turnout was around 72 percent of the 14.2 million Iraqis that were registered. They were excited to start their own government — one that they voted into being — instead of one ruled by Saddam Hussein or created for them by the United States. As President Bush has often said, freedom was not something that only Americans or Europeans want; freedom was something that everyone wants. On election day, Iraqis proved it.
In voting by the masses, Iraqis took ownership of their democracy. Voting conditions in Iraq scarcely resembled voting conditions in America. After the Nov. 2 election in America, angry voters raised questions about voting irregularities, such as long lines. In contrast, Iraqi voters were concerned about being killed by anti-democratic insurgents.
A week before the election, militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi released a videotape in which he said, "Democracy is also based on the right to choose your religion," which he said is "against the rule of God."
So, obviously, fears were high on election day. Indeed, about 45 people were killed during the day, and one suicide bomber killed himself yards away from a polling station. Nevertheless, Iraqis were undettered. If American voters are irritated by long lines, I can only imagine the turnout if death were a real possibility. Yet the Iraqis voted by the millions, issuing a collective slap in the face of Al-Zarqawi and other militants who wanted to stop the vote. Iraqis should be proud that they stained their fingers purple and cast a vote for a new future, free from the restrictions of tyrannical dictatorship.
Forget the Wildcats. Thanks to Iraqi voters, purple has finally redeemed itself.

Ringing in the NEW YEAR
Asian students celebrate the first day of Tet on a weekday this year — with or without their families
By Kim Wallace $ \diamond $ Kansan correspondent
T two cans of pho beef broth sit atop my cluttered pantry. Untouched for nearly two months, they seem foreign to my everyday ideas for lunch and dinner. But today is different — today more incentive exists to find the local Asian market on my
own and buy all the trimmings to be able to open those cans and prepare a home-cooked meal with my new dorm family.
Just as many Americans start thinking about Christmas in July, Asian Americans prepare extensively for months in advance for their biggest holiday celebration of the year. Cooking and cleaning top the list of things to get done before the next year begins. Lunar New Year, often referred to as "Tet" in Vietnamese tradition, is a family-centered holiday. Its most important concern is honoring cultural roots. Tet begins today and will be celebrated in the United States for three days to a week. In its home lands, Tet is celebrated for up to two weeks.
"You could almost compare Tet to Christmas, where the focus is primarily on family," Ronald Nguyen, Derby junior, says, "but what sets Tet apart is the emphasis on our ancestors and paving homage to them."
Though Christmas falls on the same day every year, Lunar New Year differs each year, causing conflicts with family planning. This year, the celebration begins in the middle of the week, hindering travel for many students. For the first time, some Asian-American students will rely on their friends and student associations to help ring in the year of the rooster.
"It's never easy being away from home and trying to celebrate an event that truly defines who we are as a culture, whether it be Vietnamese or Chinese," Nguyen says. "Then again, that is what friends are for."
Student unions on campus began planning early for 2005's Tet celebration to include many of the homey traditions several students will miss because of long travel. The Vietnamese Student Association will present "Tet Show 2005" on Feb.19, which will include the everpopular dragon dance, traditional ribbon dances and a fashion show highlighting different forms of customary Asian style.
CELEBRATE THE LUNAR NEW YEAR
The Vietnamese Student Association will hold The Tet Show 2005 at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 19, at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union. All students are welcome and the event is free. The evening will begin with a free pre-show dinner at 5:30 p.m. in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Dorea.

"This year I'm in charge of the dragon dance, which is my favorite part of Tet, and hope to provide the audience a fun and memorable experience." Nguyen says.
Groups of young boys and occasionally girls from ages 15 and older participate in the cultural dance. One person works as the head, and another works as the tail of an ornately decorated dragon. The dance symbolizes bringing good luck to wherever the dragon dances and scaring away any evil spirits or bad luck that may have remained from the previous year. In return for this, spectators can "feed" the dragon lucky money in red envelopes, called "ii xi," that is later donated to worthy causes such as local temples or other outlets for improving cultural awareness.

When the Jayhawks, 18-1, take the court at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan tonight, they will try to add another victory to a streak that dates back to Jan. 29, 1983.
Streak? What streak?
That's the response you'll get if you ask Aaron Miles about the Jayhawks' 21-game winning streak in Manhattan.
It was so long ago, most students now at the University of Kansas weren't even born yet. Duran Duran's "Hungry Like a Wolf" was
"We ain't concerned about the streak," the senior guard said yesterday. "The only streak we are trying to do is get a one-game winning streak started tomorrow night."
BASKETBALL TICKETS
Today is students' last chance to get tickets for men's basketball games against Colorado and Iowa State. Tickets are available at the Allen Fieldhouse Ticket Office on the east side of the Fieldhouse. Last week, for the first time, all student tickets were picked up and a lottery was implemented. The next ticket pick-up is Feb. 21-23, for the final two home games.

Athlete continues family tradition
BY KRISTEN JARBOE

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The three children in the Kramer family have all played college sports, and they've done it at different colleges.
The two oldest, Brandon and Lance, went to different colleges for football. Brandon was a tight end for Harvard and Lance was a full back for Kansas State.
The youngest, Ashlea, has been rowing at Kansas for four years.
It is no surprise, though, considering all of them grew up playing sports. Kramer was involved with basketball, volleyball and, her favorite, softball, which she started playing when she was 6 years old.
"They all started playing at a young age," their father, Duane Kramer, said. "They were never forced into sports, though, and could always make their own decisions. Some received scholarship money and some didn't. Sports were just something they always enjoined."
Their parents were always there for support and never forced sports on them, Ashlea Kramer said.
"They started us off young. My family has always been into sports," she said. "Our parents have always watched us. They didn't have to push us, we all just loved sports, and we always stuck with it. For me, I didn't have any experience with rowing, but I loved being part of a team."

Kramer originally wanted to play softball in college. She had offers from junior colleges in western Kansas, but she wanted to attend a Division I, four-year school where she could work toward her physical therapy degree.
She remembered Kansas rowing recruiters coming to Seaman High School in Topeka when she was a senior. That year, they were trying to recruit girls from in state, and they began mailing and calling Kramer.
"Someone called me about rowing at KU," Kramer said. "I decided that I would try playing softball at KU first, and if that didn't work, I would seriously think about rowing. Now I got to try another sport, and I'm really glad I did."
The experience of playing college sports has been a positive one for all three of the Kramer kids. They loved the team aspect and enjoyed getting to know other people.
The family saw the women's rowing team last year in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and last fall in Lawrence at the Kansas Cup.
A friend of the family, Merlyn Stallbaumer, is happy that both their families share something in common: Both had kids who attended K-State and the University. The two families' children grew up together, and the parents watched each other's kids play sports at Seaman.
"You meet so many people," Kramer said. "If I had not done rowing, I wouldn't know any of those girls."

Season a success
A win tonight would bring the women's basketball team its best record in five years; Coach credits team's attitude
BY PAUL BRAND

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
A victory tonight would give the women's basketball team something it has not enjoyed in four years.
At 10-10 (3-6 Big 12 Conference), a fourth conference triumph would seal the most successful Big 12 season since the 2000-01 campaign, when Kansas finished 5-11 in league play. A third road victory would also be the most in conference since the 2000-01 season.
The Cowgirls, 6-13 (1-8 Big 12), are tied for last place in conference with Missouri and present a good opportunity for the Jayhawks to pick up
another road victory. Kansas is coming off a 60-42 victory against Missouri in Columbia.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said that although Oklahoma State owns the worst record in the Big 12, she expects a tough competition.
VIEW FROM PRESS ROW
"Their record is tremendously deceiving," Henrickson said. "We have broken them down on film, and have a lot of respect for how much better they have gotten."

In Henrickson's debut season, she said she credited her team's relative success to the attitude of all players, whether they face a top-10 opponent or a last-place team.

Manhattan here we come
Every time Kansas travels to Kansas State, you can count on seeing a few signs that read, "Welcome to Allen Fieldhouse West."
Kansas is undefeated in 16 games at K-State's arena and hasn't lost in Manhattan since a 1983 game in Ahearn Fieldhouse.
Sure, the arena's real name is Bramlage Coliseum, but it truly is the Jayhawks' home away from home.
"It's a remarkable streak," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I respect it immensely. It's something that isn't going to take place very often, away from home, at any level."
To understand how impressive this streak is, you must first realize how different the world was before it began.
"You can't hide it," Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge said of his team's 21-game home losing streak to Kansas. "People are going to repeat it, repeat it and repeat it, and you just can't ignore it.
Only NASA employees had computers. Tape decks and record players ruled the music world, and basketball players wore tiny shorts that left nothing to the imagination. In fact, the streak is older than all but two players on the current Jayhawk team: junior forward Moulaye Niang and junior guard Jeff Hawkins. Self was a sophomore at Oklahoma State.
Three Kansas coaches — Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Self — have maintained the streak. Each of them, except Self, lost games to the Wildcats, but never on the road.
During the last 21 years, Kansas State and Texas A&M have been the Big 12 teams that have failed to defeat Kansas at home. Nebraska has defeated the Jayhawks on its home court ten times, Colorado five and Texas Tech once. Even Baylor knocked off the Jayhawks in Waco, Texas, in 2001.
The strangest year of the streak was 1988 — the year Kansas won the national championship — when the Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks twice. The first victory was in Lawrence, by 11 points, and the second was in the Big Eight Tournament in Kansas City, Mo., by 15. But Danny and the Miracles were victorious in Manhattan, 64-63.
Kansas' road dominance against its in-state rival boggles the mind. Kansas State points to its home game with Kansas every year as the biggest game on its schedule. The Wildcats give the Jayhawks their best shot, and it's the only game of the year that regularly sells out.
"If we are fortunate enough to beat KU and end the streak, there's a lot that would be attached to that kind of win," Wooldridge said. "We're going to address it, talk about it and challenge our team."
Wooldridge said that beating Kansas would mean as much to his program as anything short of reaching the Final Four.
It's laughable to think a coach would make that kind of assessment about one regular season game, but now that Kansas has ended its losing streak to Kansas State in football, the basketball streak has attained a larger-than-life status. Even the worst of teams pulls off an occasional upset against their arch-rival at home. But for whatever reason, the Jayhawks simply own the Wildcats. In addition to their 21-game road winning streak, they have reeled off 28 straight victories in the overall series.
K-State has not played terrible basketball for the entire two decades of the streak. Former NBA all-star Mitch Richmond played for the Wildcats in the late 1980s, including the 1988 game when the Wildcats played the Jayhawks in the Elite Eight for a trip to the Final Four. And, believe it or not, the Wildcats used to have a rich basketball tradition of their own. Their 10 Big Eight Conference championships were second only to Kansas' 13
It just has not mattered. In 1997, the year Kansas finished the season with a 34-2 record, Kansas needed a furious rally to escape Manhattan with a three-point win. In 2003, Kansas trailed late in the game. Nick Collision was fouled out and Bryant Nash came off the bench, threw down a few dunks and the streak lived on.
With players from the past 21 Jayhawk teams urging the team to keep this streak alive, you can bet that this year's seniors don't want to be remembered as the class that allowed Allen Fieldhouse West to be renamed Bramlage Coliseum.

Jayhawks overrun Vulcans, stay undefeated on season
The Kansas baseball team continued its winning-ways against the Hawaii-Hilo Vulcans on Monday.
The 12-3 victory moved Kansas to 4-0 overall while the Vulcans remain winless for the season.
Senior right-hander Clint Schambach (1-0)
lead the way on the mound for the Jayhawks.
Schambach allowed one unearned run in seven
innings of work.
Hilo starter Ryan Olszewski, junior right-handed pitcher, took the loss, allowing five runs in five innings pitched.
The Kansas scoring rally kicked off in the third on an RBI single from Erik Morrison, freshman third baseman. A two-run triple from senior first baseman Andy Scholl put the Jayhawks on top 3-0.
An unearned Vulcan run in the bottom of the third made the score 3-1. The three Kansas runs in the eighth and four in the ninth overpowered the Vulcans' last effort.
Kansas offensive standouts included junior left fielder Matt Baty, who went 3-5 with two RBI, and senior infielder Mike Dudley. Dudley knocked in a three-run homer as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning.
Tomorrow the Jayhawks travel to San Alto, Calif., to open a three-game stand at Stanford.

Good if it Goes has good day
INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL
In the first intramural basketball game of the season, Good if it Goes was in midseason form as it trounced Theta Chi, 57-20, Monday night in the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Good if it Goes took quality shots the whole game, shooting 45 percent from the field and 28 percent from three-point range.
On defense the team denied Theta Chi second-chance shots by dominating on the boards and not rushing its fast breaks.
The game opened slowly for the first 12 minutes. During the next 5, Good if it Goes scored 12 unanswered points, which propelled it to a 19-7 halftime lead.
Erik Gasparovich, Olathe sophomore, provided support on the other end of the court, bringing in rebounds.
The rally was punctuated by a long three-point shot from Zach Pope, Olathe sophomore.
Theta Chi tried to open the second-half strong with a three-pointer, which got its reserves onto their feet and cheering. A fumbled pass inside gave insight to Theta Chi's defeat.
Good if it Goes involved everyone in the rally. The team had a 10-man roster, and substituted its whole lineup every 5 minutes throughout the game. Theta Chi had only eight men and switched out players as they became tired.
In the next 11 minutes Good if it Goes scored 18 points in a row and effectively ended any hope of a comeback for Theta Chi.
Theta Chi had worn out by the end of the game, allowing Good if it
The final stat line for Theta Chi was not pretty, as the team shot better from behind the arc, 18 percent, than it did from the field, 13 percent. Of the team's 49 shots, only seven of them fell.
Providing the ammunition on offense for Good if it Goes was Ryan Boehler, Olathe sophomore. Boehler, forward, consistently outmuscled his Theta Chi counterparts for baskets underneath the hoop.
Goes to close out the game on a 12-
2 run.
"Our team doesn't have any big muscular guys, so we have to win with speed," he said.
The team, named after a phrase basketball announcers use, does not have practices but does play together often.
Many of the team members went to school together at Olathe East High School.
Others meet last year around the KU campus or from living in residence halls.
Boehler and Gasparovich both think the team has the ability to go undefeated in pool play, but note that the competition gets bigger and tougher during tournament time.
"We have good nights and we have bad nights," Gasparovich said. "Tonight was a good night."
- it was the first game of the season for both teams. Pool play consists of three games, which the teams will play during the next two weeks.

Boston College loses perfect season ends
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Boston College joined the likes of UCLA, DePaul and San Francisco as teams that arrived at Notre Dame with a long unbeaten streak and left with a loss.
Colin Falls matched his career high with 23 points and Chris Thomas added 19 points and nine assists as the framed the fourth-ranked Eagles' 21-game winning streak and handed them their first loss of the season, 68-65 last night.
The Eagles (21-1, 9-1 Big East), playing their first game this season on national TV, and top-ranked Illinois (24-0) were the only unbeaten teams left in Division I. The Illini are alone now, surviving a scare before beating Michigan 57-51 last night.
The Irish, who squandered an 11-point lead in the final 6 minutes at No. 8 Syracuse on Saturday before losing 60-57, led BC 62-54 with 4:06 left when Sean Williams was called for goaltending on a layup by Thomas. The Eagles closed to 62-59 as Dudley made two free throws and then converted on a three-point play.
a 66-59 lead. After Dudley scored inside with 30 seconds left, the Eagles forced an Irish turnover and had a chance to cut the lead to two points. But Dudley drove the lane and as he passed to Craig Smith, he ran into Falls and was called for the offensive foul.
Every time Notre Dame needed a big basket, Falls hit a 3-pointer. He hit two 3s 6 minutes into the second half to give the Irish an 11-point lead, and when BC cut the lead to 54-41 with 8:25 left he hit another. He did it again when the Eagles cut the lead to three with 6:43 left.
But Thomas ensured the Irish (14-6, 6-4) didn't have another meltdown, making two free throws in the final 1:11 to give Notre Dame
Falls was 7-of-12 on 3-pointers, a career-best effort from outside the arc.
Chris Quinn and Dennis Latimore each added 10 points for the Irish.
Dudley scored 13 of his 16 points in the second half for BC and had 11 rebounds. Louis Hinnant added 13 points and Jermaine Watson had 11.
Smith, BC's leading scorer at 18.7 points a game, missed his final eight shots and finished 4-of-14 for nine points with eight rebounds.
It was Notre Dame's first victory against a top-10 team since Feb. 9, 2004, an 80-74 victory against No. 5 UConn. But it was their second win over a ranked team in three games as they beat No. 19 Connecticut 78-74 on Jan. 30.

Junior guard Kaylee Brown drives past Missouri sophomore forward EeTisha Riddle during Saturday's game in Columbia, Mo. Brown led the Jayhawks with 15 points. Kansas' next game is at 7 tonight against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla.
On Jan. 29, the Cowgirls lost to Baylor, the No. 7 team in the country, by only two points, 67-65. In their next game, they lost on a buzzer-beater to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who beat the Jayhawks by 11 earlier this year. Then, to add to the Cowgirls' frustration, they only trailed the Kansas State Wildcats, the No. 14 team in the country, by two points with just more than 4 minutes remaining in the game. They couldn't close the gap, though, and let a victory slip away in the closing minutes.
"They lost to Baylor by one possession, lost on a buzzer-beeper at Nebraska, and had K-State on the ropes in the second half," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Their record is tremendously deceiving."
Destanie Sykes, who is averaging only 5.8 points per game, had a career-high 13 in the defeat.
In the defeat against the Wildcats last Saturday, senior guard Nina Stone led the Cowgirls with 17 points. She is the team's leading scorer, averaging 15.8 points per game. She also is pulling down 5.3 rebounds per game. Sophomore forward
The strong point of the Cowgirls is defense, something that Henrickson is worried about.
"Defensively, they do a good job of double-teaming and have done it all year," Henrickson said. "They like to play some zone and trap, which could potentially create problems for us if we don't handle the pressure."
The Cowgirls lack a consistent starting lineup. Only Devry McDonald, sophomore guard, and Stone have started every game. Nine players have started in at least one game, and eight have started at least four games. The rotating starting lineup has helped the Cowgirls maintain a solid bench. They have 11 players who play more than 10 minutes a game. The Jayhawks have only seven players in their rotation, with four starters averaging more than 34 minutes a game.
The Cowgirls' statistics can also be misleading. While they have lost eight of their last nine games, they outscored their opponents in the second half by a total of 25 points. In the first halves they have been outscored by 80 points.
With an 0-7 record on the road, tonight's home game against the Jayhawks looks promising for the Cowgirls.
The game starts at 7 p.m. in Stillwater, Okla.

"We have enjoyed watching Ashlea," Stallbaumer said. "We watched her all through high school with basketball and volleyball."
The lessons sports has taught Kramer will stay with her. She said she didn't know what she would do without sports and the responsibility that comes along with it.
"People don't understand how hard college sports can be," she said. "It can be difficult at times to balance everything."
Her brothers have successfully transitioned out of the sports world. Brandan is in his last year at the University of Kansas Medical Center, and Lance works with a construction company in Grand Junction, Colo.
No matter where members of the Kramer family end up, their experiences with sports will always stick with them.
Kramer will graduate in December 2005 and then work toward her master's degree.
"After a year or two, I'm sure there will be an empty spot in their lives," Stallbaumer said. "But because of that college team experience, it gives them a large plus for the rest of their life, a huge advantage."
When Ashlea's dad thinks back on her hard work, he can only be proud.
Ashlea Kramer, Topeka senior, works out with her teammates from the Kansas women's rowing team yesterday.

Despite the strides taken this year, Henrickson said her team's rising stature within the Big 12 was only the beginning.

The Wichita product leads all Big 12 freshmen in rebounding, snaring 7.1 per game, and is second overall in the conference with 3.55 offensive rebounds per outing.
"She has gained tremendous experience by being on the floor as much as she has, and she has handled the transition of being a freshman in this league as well as you can expect a kid to," Henrickson said. McIntosh has also stepped up in scoring. In each of the last two games, McIntosh has scored 10 points.
The improvement has seen the freshman forward take a more aggressive role in the offense with more frequent drives and shots inside.
Adding the threat of McInosh would greatly aid the Jayhawks on the offensive end, where the only other post scoring threat is junior forward Crystal Kemp, who is often double-teamed.

A victory for the Jayhawks tonight would maintain their two-game lead in the Big 12 Conference race. Oklahoma State moved to 8-2 Monday after beating Oklahoma, 79-67.

yourself.
- Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7. Previous commitments interfere with your ability to study the subject you'll be using next. Just do the old stuff the old way. It'll be easier.

Snow Creek an option for skiers and snowboarders
BY CALEB REGAN
cregan@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Contrary to what a lot of students may think, a snowboarding and skiing facility exists less than 90 minutes away. Snow Creek, in Weston, Mo., provides easy access for snowboarders and skiers who are unable to make the drive to the Rocky Mountains.
Granted, it is a little lacking in comparison to Colorado, but Snow Creek offers an inexpensive opportunity to hone the skills needed to rip it up in Breckenridge or Vail. The mountain will remain open as long as possible, usually early or mid-March.
Stacey Archambault, a KU student from Colorado who has been a snowboard instructor at Snow Creek for three years, is frustrated by the bad rap Snow Creek gets being compared to bigger mountains.
"I always hear people on campus talking about what a great snowboarder or skier they are, and how many times they get out to Colorado each year. Then I ask how many times they get out to the Creek and they'll say
"L like it or not, it's

the Midwest. At least we have something."
something like, "whatever, that place sucks," she said. "I grew up in Colorado. Like it or not, it's the Midwest. At least we have something."
For those who like to snowboard or ski, Colorado is only an option during extended breaks. On top of that, money is always an issue, and a Colorado trip will set skiers or snowboarders back at least a couple hundred dollars. Lift tickets at Snow Creek are $45 ($58 total if you're renting a snowboard).
Archambault said the conditions in Weston are good right now, with Snow Creek advertising a 72" base of snow. Typically, the morning and night hours offer a much more compact snow as opposed to the slush that accumulates through the day
when the snow is melting, she said
Omar Lindt, Kingman senior, said he visited Snow Creek last year and was impressed by a snowboard run so close to Lawrence.
"They have pretty good jumps, but on a given run you can only hit one or two of the jumps before getting back on the lift and going back to the top. Still, it's pretty good practice for going bigger mountains."
He said it took a little less than 1 minute to complete a run and 2 or 3 minutes to take the lift back to the top.
The quickest way to get to Snow Creek, Archambault said, is through Leavenworth. Take U.S. Highway 92 through Leavenworth and head north on U.S. Highway 45. That highway runs right by Snow Creek. For up-to-the-hour conditions, visit www.hisnowcreek.com.
Snow Creek's hours are Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sundays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Monday through Friday from noon to 9 p.m., with midnight sessions starting at 10 p.m. and lasting until 2 in the morning.

Tuition on the rise
School of Social Welfare faculty proposes differential tuition
BY NATE KARLIN
nkarlier@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Insufficient state funding had led the School of Social Welfare administrators to propose a tuition increase plan. By next semester the school could be the last specialized school to adopt a differential tuition increase.
The plan would be similar to the differential tuition plan proposed in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Melanie Hepburn, assistant dean of social welfare.
The differential fee would fund additional scholarships and financial aid and enhance learning resources, such as expanding the international programs and teaching resources.
The climate of the state legislature has not been as supportive of higher education as it could be." Hephurn said.
Ann Weick, dean of social welfare, has been meeting with students to discuss the differential fee since last fall.
Beginning next semester, students would pay an extra
$10 per credit hour. The fee would increase to $20 per credit hour in the 2006-07 school year and then cap off at $30 for the 2007-08 year. The plan has not called for a specific time limit, Hepburn said, unlike the CLAS proposal, which would only exist for the next 20 years.
Students were concerned about the fees, but they still wanted resource expansions, Hepburn said.
that social welfare students didn't show great support to an e-mail that was sent out, but she wanted them to understand the benefits of the fee.
Jayme Shilkrot, a Minneapolis, Minn., senior who served on the dean's advisory committee, agreed
"If the students can all pull together, this is the only way we'll get the stuff," Shilkretr said.
Increasing the fee over the next three years should be more helpful to the students because it won't catch them off guard, she said. The increase will ease them into the differential tuition.

BELIEFS
Evolution discourse continues
BY TY BEAVER
tbeaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Conservative members of the Kansas Board of Education are again toying with the idea of changing the science curriculum to include creationism. People all over the state are weighing in on the validity of evolution in the classroom because of religious beliefs.
The appearance that religion disputes evolution and other scientific knowledge is a common perception, some opponents of creationism say. But many people in both religious and scientific circles see no conflict between scientific theory and faith.
Christians differ on the stance of evolution within their faith. Catholicism officially recognizes the theory as scientifically sound.
"There cannot be a conflict between faith and reason, because we cannot have a contradictory God," said Vince Krische, head pastor of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Road.
The Catholic Church teaches mitigated evolution, Krische said. Mitigated evolution is the belief that evolution explains the ascent of physical creatures, but that the soul of each person is a direct creation of God.
Reacting to an atheistic definition of evolution can give people an easy reason to dispute science. Krische said.
Most mainstream Catholic and Protestant churches have no problem with evolution, Krische said. Several Protestant groups, however, don't find evolution sound.
Kelly Sanders, Omaha, Neb., junior, said her Christian faith was based on a personal relationship with God in which a literal interpretation of the Bible in the correct context was important.
Evolution doesn't have to exclude God, Sanders said. She said she wanted intelligent design, the idea that nature shows evidence that it was created by an intelligent being, taught with evolution in high schools. She said she was afraid evolution didn't push the concept of divine influence.
There are also religions that take no stance on the issue. Wiccans and pagans do not require belief in evolution or intelligent design, said Chelsea Johnson, president of the Wiccan-Pagan Alliance.
For Adrian Melott, whether a religion approves of evolution isn't the question.
"Religion doesn't take issue with evolution, people take issue with it," Melott, professor of physics and astronomy. said.
The ordained Unitarian minister said many disagree with evolution because of a literal interpretation of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. It gives an ideology that requires people to believe something against evidence, Melott said.
"It's a general phenomenon of people hijacking Christianity and the Bible," Melott said.

Hashinger evicts felon from hall
BY ERIC SORRENTINO
esorrentino@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Conroy, 35, Kirkwood, Mo., senior, said his departure was due to a previous felony conviction that happened seven years ago when he robbed a Quizno's in St. Louis with a BB gun. He said a Missouri vocational rehabilitation facility made it possible for him to come to the University of Kansas.
The Department of Student Housing asked Hashinger resident Timothy Conroy to leave the building Monday.
"I came back to KU to finish up my degree in one semester." Conroy said.
Conroy said that nowhere on the Student Housing application did it say that a convicted felon could not live in the residence halls. He said that he would hire a lawyer and planned to file a lawsuit against the University for a breach of contract.
According to Student Housing terms and policies, a resident may be asked to leave the building if the resident's continued presence in the residence hall may cause danger or a threat of danger to property, the resident, or others in the residence hall.
Diana Robertson, associate director of Student Housing, said the University adopted a policy after a 1993 court case Nero v. Kansas State, which prohibited individuals from living in University housing if they had been committed or charged with a violent crime.
"Our duty is to balance the needs of the residents on the whole against the potential threat of one." Robertson said.
Robertson said she could not comment on any of the specifics of any student's situation in the department.
The application for undergraduate admission at the University does not ask any questions about previous criminal record. However, individuals would be asked in applying for a student hourly job or a full-time staff position on campus, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations.
Conroy said Student Housing gave him an eviction letter Monday stating that the department learned about his second-degree burglary in Missouri. Conroy is not allowed to visit Hashinger Hall or any Student Housing facility without being suspect to trespassing charges or arrest. Conroy said the contract gave him the right to appeal, but he did not plan on doing so.
Conroy attended the University from 1987 to 1992 but dropped out a semester before he was supposed to graduate. He said he had an oppor-

ANCIENT GREECE - AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL TOUR
By Susie Mason, Peer Advisor for the Office of Study Abroad
Students at KU have an exceptional opportunity this summer to travel and experience our classical heritage. The 2005 Ancient Greece summer institute is an amazing program in which students become directly immersed within the art, architecture and archaeology of the Preclassical, Classical Roman and Byzantine cultures in Greece.
The program begins in Athens with an orientation and works its way through towns such as Sparta, Olympia and Delphi. The program concludes back in Athens with a farewell dinner in the Greek tradition on the Plaka, just below the Acropolis. Students will participate in readings, walking lectures, and tours of sites and museums.
Trips within the program include: the sanctuary to Zeus, the site of the ancient Olympic games at Olympia, sanctuary to Athena, patron goddess of Athens which includes the Parthenon, Mycenaean palaces, sites of early hospitals and much more. Students will also have some afternoons available to travel on their own. Not only will students have the opportunity to travel and visit numerous historical sites, they will also have the opportunity to learn introductory basic Modern Greek (such as numbers, greetings, shopping expressions, basic needs).
C
The Caryatids on the Acropolis,
Athens, Greece.
Internationally known Greek archaeologist, art historian and professor of Classics, John H. Younger, leads the program. Professor Younger's experience includes ten previous trips to Greece in addition to being fluent in Modern Greek.
Students may enroll in Classics 570, Art History 505 or both. Either course satisfies KU's Literature and the Arts (HL) principle course requirements.

SEVEN THINGS I LEARNED IN EUROPE
By Dan Peters, Universiteit Maastricht in Maastricht, The Netherlands (ISEP)
1. Knowing a few words in a foreign language goes a long way. If you are making the effort to visit a new country,you might as well learn how to say "hello" and "thank you" in the local language. You will be surprised how many times you can use even the most basic words, and it's much less awkward than completing a transaction without words.
2. Missing a flight can be a good thing. Luckily, you can still get just about anywhere by train, and it can be fun spontaneously devising a "Plan B." Our missed flight from Brussels to Pisa turned into a whirlwind tour of Paris, eastern France, the Swiss Alps, and we still had just enough time to have dinner in Italy before catching our original return flight back.
3. Going out for a drink doesn't necessarily mean an alcoholic one. When my language teacher in Barcelona proposed that we go to a bar after our last class, I thought it might evolve into a crazy night of inebriation. Rather, we practiced our Spanish over cappuccino and orange juice. Bars in Europe often have an
extensive selection of non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, and "going out for a drink" at a bar or café is a popular pastime.
4. Hostels provide you with guaranteed friends in any city. Not only are hostels the cheapest way to stay, but they are also

full of other young tourists from around the world. This makes for a very social, vibrant atmosphere which is great for exchanging travel stories and e-mail addresses. I've learned a lot about the world from my conversations with fellow hostel-goers.
5. Be cautious when telling Europeans about
American culture or how things are done "back home." You may simply be trying to state a comparison, but your colleague may interpret your words differently.

ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE
By Melissa Sidebottom, Bi-lingual Spanish Language Intensive for Social Workers, San José, Costa Rica
A man by the name of Michael F. Staley once said, "There is no challenge more challenging than the challenge to improve yourself." I have found life to be a series of challenges for myself and for people in all walks of life. My name is Melissa and I am an alumnus of the 2004 Bi-Lingual Spanish Language Intensive for Social Workers in San Jose, Costa Rica. When I found out about a study abroad program that would allow me to build upon my Spanish language skills and explore another culture I saw it as an opportunity. I have always wanted to travel, particularly if the experience would be a chance to grow and contribute to others.
The image shows two women sitting at a table, each holding and working on different pieces of fabric. They appear to be engaged in a crafting activity, possibly related to knitting or weaving. The setting is indoors, with a patterned tablecloth visible in the background. There are no visible texts or labels that provide additional context about the activity or the individuals.
Amazingly, opportunities do not usually come without challenge. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and I walk with forearm crutches. I've learned to see challenge as a way of life. For those of you who haven't had the opportunity to use crutches, a wheelchair, or just travel outside the U.S., many places lack accessibility or are inaccessible both here and abroad. The United States is significantly accommodating in many places, and Costa Rica is progressing in accessibility for Latin America.
dence in my abilities both academically and personally. For me, just getting around in Costa Rica was a challenge, and I found that the thing that I missed the most was the independence which accessibility to places and transportation affords. I would walk around the neighborhood
Traveling to Costa Rica has enhanced my confiand university whenever I had the chance just to explore; I knew that the afternoon rains would soon make walking more treacherous.
Melissa Sidebottom prepares a Costa Rican dish with her host family. Contributed by Melissa Sidebottom.
The most valuable part of my experience was living with my host family, because they helped
me to feel safe in a new situation. I remember feeling overwhelmed at the airport in San Jose, because I felt exhausted and I was a bit overwhelmed by instant immersion in another culture. At this point there was no turning back, and I just felt that I would be able to handle whatever happened during the next five weeks. I can recall writing in my journal for my KU instructor that after meeting my host family and managing awkward Spanish I wished that I could've downloaded Spanish into my brain. My host family was always available to talk to, and included me in many of their family activities. Near the end of my stay my backpack was stolen, and my host family was very reassuring. Fortunately for me I only lost my textbook, homework, and about $5, but I couldn't believe that I had fallen for a very common distraction technique.
My host family and some of the neighbors in the neighborhood were very welcoming, which gave me the impression that they were proud to have visitors from other countries. I also noticed that the majority of Costa Ricans that I saw living with physical disabilities depended upon family members. Yet, they seemed to find ways to overcome obstacles as I have. If I could do anything different, I would probably take a willing travel companion to help me go on excursions, bring extra money, and stay a little longer. I would encourage anyone to try study abroad, even if it is only a short stay, because being in another environment helped me to realize what I can accomplish.
Global Awareness Program (GAP)
The Global Awareness Program (GAP) is a new program at KU that offers students a broader view of the world and recognizes undergraduates' international experiences. Students can have an international experience through study abroad, taking classes with an international focus, foreign language study, or participating in international co-curricular activities.
Undergraduates in any major can earn global awareness certification. Students completing this program will have their international experience noted on their official KU academic transcript. They will also receive a certificate from the Office of International Programs.

ASK US! WE'RE THE PEER ADVISORS
By Natalie Flanzer, Peer Advisor for the Office of Study Abroad
For many students summer programs provide the best option for studying abroad. The Office of Study Abroad is offering 40 programs in 23 countries during Summer 2005, with courses ranging from specific major credits to general requirements. If you are thinking about going abroad, the Peer Advisors, Natalie Flanzer, Melissa Hartnett, Susie Mason and Meredith Vacek, offer their advice and answer some of the questions that are on everyone's mind.
What is your favorite summer program and why?
Meredith: Language and Culture in Croatia. Croatia is a beautiful country with miles of coastline on the Mediterranean. You get to learn the Croatian language without needing any previous knowledge of the language. You will also be involved in several different activities including films and lectures about this often overlooked culture.
Susie: British Summer Institute. The program has the opportunity for a lot of travel. A trip to the Scottish Highlands has just been added for this summer. It is a great opportunity to travel to Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle. You have the opportunity to get to know the cultural differences in various parts of the United Kingdom.
Earning nine credits is a huge bonus and makes the month-long study trip worthwhile.
Natalie: Spanish Language and Journalism Internship in Puebla, Mexico. For someone interested in studying Spanish, the Puebla program is a great
ed in studying Spanish, t opportunity. The program just added a journalism practicum credit, which will provide an opportunity for Journalism students to work in a Spanish-speaking environment during their internship hours. Living with a host family and participating in the optional excursions gives students a great immersion into the culture, language and society that are all a part of a worthwhile experience abroad. Melissa: Language and Culture in Vitoria, Brazil. Brazil is an excellent program

because the intensive language program improves students' Portuguese, a lesser-known language. The program provides students with an opportunity to live with a host family, which is unique for a summer program. You can be at any level with your Portuguese studies, from beginning to graduate. Plus you get to learn capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian form of martial arts.
Is there one thing you wish you would have known before going abroad?
Meredith: I wish that I would have known that the
German idea of a vegetarian involved shrimp and bacon.
**Susie:** I took a huge suitcase and a pack, which I ended up having to lug around with me. Do not bring nearly as much as you think you need, you can always turn your underwear inside out.
Do you have one tip for packing light?
Meredith: For ladies, cut down on the hair care products, so come up with a style that is simple and easy to care for. Guys really just need to make sure they do not bring too many clothes.
Natalie: After you have gathered together all of your clothes and toiletries cut the amount in half. If you forget something,you can always buy clothes,socks underwear and shampoo abroad. It is always good to have room in your suitcase for souvenirs and gifts you might pick up along the way.
Melissa: The best advice is to step outside the group. Whether it is spending some time with your host family, doing some independent travel or meeting locals at a café just take time to enjoy being in a new environment. Your time is really short; so don't allow yourself to spend all of your time with other group members.
What is one piece of advice that you could give to students interested in studying abroad during the summer?
Each summer about 750 students study abroad through KU. If you want to be one of those students, then stop by the Office of Study Abroad today. The Peer Advisors are in 109 Lippincott from 8-5, Monday through Friday, to answer all of your questions.
THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE
By Ryan Yost, University of Hong Kong
I spent my birthday in Chongqing, China, which claims to be the world's largest city, and I spent Christmas in Hong Kong. You might be guessing where I chose to study abroad. I decided on the University of Hong Kong as a worthy place to spend a semester, and the decision turned out to likely be the best I have ever made.
According to any guidebook Hong Kong is a recent British colony, it's the Gateway to China and the Pearl of the Orient, a modern international city with more Rolls Royce per capita than anywhere in the world, and Cantonese food tastes great. Everything I read about Hong Kong made it sound so foreign when compared to Kansas, but it took less than two weeks for the place to feel like home.
Fears of a language barrier dissolved when I found nearly everybody spoke a little English, and what barrier did exist was easily overcome by a few simple Cantonese phrases and a working knowledge of the numbers. Fears of a culture shock dissipated when I found the local students helpful and friendly. Fears of finding myself bored disappeared the moment I saw the view from my dorm room on the 22nd floor overlooking the sea.
Within a week I bought a cellular phone and acquired the numbers of over three-dozen international students, all of which were in the same situation as myself. Everyone made friends fast. We spent our spare time traversing the city streets and visiting the outdoor markets, the restaurants with cuisine from every country,
and the bars, which are open until six in the morning and sometimes later. We saw temples, barbecued on Victoria Peak, and took ferryies to the outlying islands. Each weekend was a new adventure, and I now can rest easy at night after seeing the world's largest outdoor sitting bronze Buddha, which is only a short ferry and bus ride away.

weekend out in Kansas, you can buy a train ticket to Beijing or Shanghai. A hostel will cost about six dollars a night. From there you might find yourself in Tiananmen Square at midnight or inside China's tallest building, the Jin Mao Building, both of which I ended up at on the first night upon visiting the two cities.
Give the Hong Kong program some thought. The classes are taught in English and the instructors enjoy the new perspectives international students bring to class. Put aside any hesitations regarding the city and go see it for yourself. You're unlikely to regret deciding to study in Hong Kong, so take a couple minutes the next time you pass Lippincott Hall and pick up some information from the Office of Study Abroad.

Snow Creek an option for skiers and snowboarders
BY CALEB RUGAN
cregan@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Contrary to what a lot of students may think, a snowboarding and skiing facility exists less than 90 minutes away. Snow Creek, in Weston, Mo., provides easy access for snowboarders and skiers who are unable to make the drive to the Rocky Mountains.
Granted, it is a little lacking in comparison to Colorado, but Snow Creek offers an inexpensive opportunity to hone the skills needed to rip it up in Breckenridge or Vail. The mountain will remain open as long as possible, usually early or mid-March.
Stacey Archambault, a KU student from Colorado who has been a snowboard instructor at Snow Creek for three years, is frustrated by the bad rap Snow Creek gets being compared to bigger mountains.
"I always hear people on campus talking about what a great snowboarder or skier they are, and how many times they get out to Colorado each year. Then I ask how many times they get out to the Creek and they'll say
“
"Like it or not, it's the Midwest. At least we have something."
Stacey Archambault
Snowboard instructor
something like, "whatever, that place sucks," she said. "I grew up in Colorado. Like it or not, it's the Midwest. At least we have something."
For those who like to snowboard or ski, Colorado is only an option during extended breaks. On top of that, money is always an issue, and a Colorado trip will set skiers or snowboards back at least a couple hundred dollars. Lift tickets at Snow Creek are $45 ($58 total if you're renting a snowboard).
renting a snowboard. Archambault said the conditions in Weston are good right now, with Snow Creek advertising a 72" base of snow. Typically, the morning and night hours offer a much more compact snow as opposed to the slush that accumulates through the day
when the snow is melting, she said.
Omar Lindt, Kingman senior, said he visited Snow Creek last year and was impressed by a snowboard run so close to Lawrence.
"They have pretty good jumps, but on a given run you can only hit one or two of the jumps before getting back on the lift and going back to the top. Still, it's pretty good practice for going bigger mountains."
The quickest way to get to Snow Creek, Archambault said, is through Leavenworth. Take U.S. Highway 92 through Leavenworth and head north on U.S. Highway 45. That highway runs right by Snow Creek. For up-to-the-hour conditions, visit www.sisnwreek.com.
going to ogle
He said it took a little less than 1 minute to complete a run and 2 or 3 minutes to take the lift back to the top.
Snow Creek's hours are Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sundays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Monday through Friday from noon to 9 p.m., with midnight sessions starting at 10 p.m. and lasting until 2 in the morning.

Tuition on the rise
School of Social Welfare faculty proposes differential tuition
BY NATE KARLIN
nklarlin@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Insufficient state funding had led the School of Social Welfare administrators to propose a tuition increase plan. By next semester the school could be the last specialized school to adopt a differential tuition increase.
The plan would be similar to the differential tuition plan proposed in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Melanie Hepburn, assistant dean of social welfare.
The differential fee would fund additional scholarships and financial aid and enhance learning resources, such as expanding the international programs and teaching resources.
"The climate of the state legislature has not been as supportive of higher education as it could be." Hepburn said.
Ann Weick, dean of social welfare, has been meeting with students to discuss the differential fee since last fall.
Beginning next semester, students would pay an extra
$10 per credit hour. The fee would increase to $20 per credit hour in the 2006-07 school year and then cap off at $30 for the 2007-08 year. The plan has not called for a specific time limit, Hephurn said, unlike the CLAS proposal, which would only exist for the next 20 years.
Students were concerned about the fees, but they still wanted resource expansions, Heburn said.
Jayme Shilkrot, a Minneapolis, Minn., senior who served on the dean's advisory committee, agreed
"If the students can all pull together, this is the only way we'll get the stuff," Shilkroat said.
Increasing the fee over the next three years should be more helpful to the students because it won't catch them off guard, she said. The increase will ease them into the differential tuition.

BELIEFS
Evolution discourse continues
BY TY BEAVER
tbeaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Conservative members of the Kansas Board of Education are again toying with the idea of changing the science curriculum to include creationism. People all over the state are weighing in on the validity of evolution in the classroom because of religious beliefs.
The appearance that religion disputes evolution and other scientific knowledge is a common perception, some opponents of creationism say. But many people in both religious and scientific circles see no conflict between scientific theory and faith.
Christians differ on the stance of evolution within their faith. Catholicism officially recognizes the theory as scientifically sound.
"There cannot be a conflict between faith and reason, because we cannot have a contradictory God," said Vince Krische, head pastor of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, 1631 Crescent Road.
The Catholic Church teaches mitigated evolution, Krische said. Mitigated evolution is the belief that evolution explains the ascent of physical creatures, but that the soul of each person is a direct creation of God.
Reacting to an atheistic definition of evolution can give people an easy reason to dispute science, Krische said.
Most mainstream Catholic and Protestant churches have no problem with evolution, Krische said. Several Protestant groups, however, don't find evolution sound.
Kelly Sanders, Omaha, Neb., junior, said her Christian faith was based on a personal relationship with God in which a literal interpretation of the Bible in the correct context was important.
Evolution doesn't have to exclude God, Sanders said. She said she wanted intelligent design, the idea that nature shows evidence that it was created by an intelligent being, taught with evolution in high schools. She said she was afraid evolution didn't push the concept of divine influence.
There are also religions that take no stance on the issue. Wiccans and pagans do not require belief in evolution or intelligent design, said Chelsea Johnson, president of the Wiccan-Pagan Alliance.
The ordained Unitarian minister said many disagree with evolution because of a literal interpretation of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. It gives an ideology that requires people to believe something against evidence, Melott said.
For Adrian Melott, whether a religion approves of evolution isn't the question.
"Religion doesn't take issue with evolution, people take issue with it," Melott, professor of physics and astronomy, said.
"It's a general phenomenon of people hijacking Christianity and the Bible," Melott said.

Hashinger evicts felon from hall
BY ERIC SORRENTINO
esrentino@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Department of Student Housing asked Hashinger resident Timothy Conroy to leave the building Monday.
Conroy, 35. Kirkwood, Mo., senior, said his departure was due to a previous felony conviction that happened seven years ago when he robbed a Quizno's in St. Louis with a BB gun. He said a Missouri vocational rehabilitation facility made it possible for him to come to the University of Kansas.
"I came back to KU to finish up my degree in one semester." Conroy said.
Conroy said that nowhere on the Student Housing application did it say that a convicted felon could not live in the residence halls. He said that he would hire a lawyer and planned to file a lawsuit against the University for a breach of contract.
Diana Robertson, associate director of Student Housing, said the University adopted a policy after a 1993 court case Nero v. Kansas State, which prohibited individuals from living in University housing if they had been committed or charged with a violent crime.
According to Student Housing terms and policies, a resident may be asked to leave the building if the resident's continued presence in the residence hall may cause danger or a threat of danger to property, the resident, or others in the residence hall.
"Our duty is to balance the needs of the residents on the whole against the potential threat of one." Robertson said.
Robertson said she could not comment on any of the specifics of any student's situation in the department.
The application for undergraduate admission at the University does not ask any questions about previous criminal record. However, individuals would be asked in applying for a student hourly job or a full-time staff position on campus, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations.
Conroy said Student Housing gave him an eviction letter Monday stating that the department learned about his second-degree burglary in Missouri. Conroy is not allowed to visit Hashinger Hall or any Student Housing facility without being suspect to trespassing charges or arrest. Conroy said the contract gave him the right to appeal, but he did not plan on doing so.
Conroy attended the University from 1987 to 1992 but dropped out a semester before he was supposed to graduate. He said he had an oppor-

His teammates did just enough to escape Manhattan with a victory, however, and Miles should still be considered for postseason honors, columnist Jack Weinstein says. PAGE 18

Junior guard Eric Hallman, who led the jayhawks with 15 points, missed a desperation three-point attempt that would have tied the game, and the jayhawks fell, 57-54. The Cowgirls denied the jayhawks their fourth conference victory, which would have been their best total in five seasons. PAGE 1B

If any user does use the network inappropriately, Facebook will kick the person off the Web site, Hughes said. Students can also block particular users from seeing their profile by going to the privacy options page.
"We're confident that our members are intelligent enough not to give out any personal information that they want to be public." Hughes said in an e-mail.
Internet users use Facebook for more than just to meet fellow college students. Giving too much information could make students vulnerable to identity theft and stalking.
Devon Vaughan, Versailles, Mo., sophomore, encountered the risk of revealing too much information.
Chris Hughes, co-founder of Facebook, said in an e-mail that Facebook was a secure Web site with a "miriad of privacy options."
A man found her class schedule on Facebook — an online social network aimed to connect the college population.
He began constantly sending her instant messages asking her about her hobbies, classes, and friends. Finally, she blocked him from sending messages.
While Facebook is a fun, social networking system for some students, it may put users at risk. Posting a real telephone number or address could create a dangerous situation, said Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the
Family Taylor Women's Resource Center.
"I would have never thought some one would go as far as stalking me, but it turned out to get pretty creepy." Vaughan said.
Through Facebook, students are able to create a profile as well as post their school courses, a picture of themselves and even put up their cell phone numbers and home addresses.
Once created, the profile can be viewed by peers at their school who are signed up for Facebook and those added as friends. Students don't know who might look at their profile, write down their information and show up at their door the next day.
Rose-Mockry warned students about stalking. She said that it was not just females victims, but men can also be stalked. Added to that is "fun harassment," where a person repeatedly calls or "cyber stalks" an individual by e-mailing them excessively. A student can become a victim of identity theft if they post enough personal information.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office spokesman, warned students to post a limited amount of information about them, especially regarding addresses and date of birth. It is information that other people do not need to know.
Bailey reminded students that even if their school is the only one to directly see the profile, they don't know every user that accesses their profiles.

Museum offers student night

STUDENT NIGHT
Wanted: University students with little art knowledge for a night of food, drinks and music at the Spencer Museum of Art.
Oh yeah, and some japanese art, too. The art museum, located south of Strong Hall, is hosting its first student night, "Tradition & Modernity" from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Asian gallery in the museum.
The event is the art museum's student advisory committee's first attempt to attract students who don't regularly attend art events or who are in non-art oriented disciplines.
Students who study architecture, civil engineering, mathematics, and poetry can benefit from visiting the museum, Kristina Mitchell, education director of the art museum, said.
"I think there's lots of people on campus that don't even know we have an art museum — or anything about it at all." Geneviève Boyle, student advisory committee member and Salina sophomore, said.
"Right now we've got that Tokyo woodblock show upstairs that's focused on a time in Japanese history after an earthquake in the '20s," Mitchell said. "If you're an East Asian history student, print making, architecture or even civil engineering, I

mean, it would be interesting to see how the city rebuilt itself."
The museum will also offer a related tour of "Tokyo: The Imperial Capitol," on Feb. 24.
The exhibit features a series of early 20th century woodblock prints entitled, "One Hundred Pictures of Great Tokyo in the Showa Era," by Koizumi Kishio.
The art museum's permanent collection of woodblock prints from the Edo era (1615-1868) will also be shown.
Saralyn Reece Hardy, the new director of the art museum, who is taking over in March, is expected to attend this event. This is the first student event that Hardy will attend.
"I am excited about the energy of students," Hardy said. "Students can frame compelling questions about what the art museum should be and the role that an art museum should have on a university."
Visitors will be served Japanese teas and pastries. Some KJHK DJs will play Japanese pop music.
"I like the media mix," Meredith Vacek, student advisory board member and Lawrence nontraditional student, said. "It will stimulate multiple senses. There's something for the sight, something for the cars and something for the taste buds."
The student advisory committee wants to break the stereotype that art museums are boring places where people have to be quiet, and instead create a comfortable place that stimulates conversation, Vacek said.
Some students visit the art museum for class assignments, but not for pleasure. Sarah Malekyar, Overland Park junior, and Cali McIntosh, Dallas, Texas, sophomore, said they studied art there for their Greek and Roman Mythology class.
A second student night is scheduled for May 12. The museum is also preparing a campus-wide survey to get student feedback about the museum, Rula Andriessen, Salina freshman, said.
The advisory committee was formed last fall as a way to get more student influence into the museum, Mitchell said.
"They just really care about the museum." Mitchell said. "We're a University art museum and we're here for them. Students are our mission."
About 100,000 people visit the art museum annually. Bill Woodard director of communications for the art museum, said.

Ethiopian fare featured at cafe
BY ADAM LAND

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Rolan Hewe/KANSAN
Ceremonial dresses and ethnic paintings adorn the walls of the new Ethiopian cafe, Addis Ababa, 10th and Massachusetts streets. The cafe filled the location formerly occupied by Subway restaurant. Owners hope to open this weekend.
Students will soon be able indulge in Ethiopian cuisine on Massachusetts Street.
The building that once housed a Subway restaurant at 1008 Massachusetts St. now belongs to Mekedem Belete, the owner of the new Ethiopian cafe Addis Ababa. Renovations are wrapping up and the cafe is almost ready for the grand opening
The new cafe could open this weekend. Belete said.
Vegetarian cuisine will be a staple, and the kitchen will serve vegetables native to Ethiopia. The cafe will try to buy its produce from local farmers to give the customer the freshest meal possible.
Patrons will also be offered dishes with meat. Ethiopian cuisine uses lamb, shrimp and chicken. Many Ethiopian dishes will be served spicy, unless the patron requests otherwise.
The cafe will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The cafe will have a full bar.
After dinner hours the
cafe will have events celebrating different Ethiopian traditions. The cafe will be open until 1:30 a.m. on special occasions, such as when the cafe hires a band for a night or after late basketball games. Belete said.
The cafe will have traditional Ethiopian music and other international music, Belete said. The Ethiopian coffee ceremony will be offered in the evenings at the cafe. During the ceremony, Ethiopian coffee will be served with popcorn and incense will burn at the tables. Belete and his staff will educate the patrons about the coffee and the tradition.
Belete and his wife,
Zewdinesh Asmelash,
acquired the building about
two months ago.
"We owned another establishment outside the KU Medical Center," Delete said. "We have many KU customers at our other location, and this was the riest best choice for another restaurant."
Belete and his wife moved to the United States in 1986. Many of his family members have lived in Kansas and his
brother attended the University. Belete said.
"I have a lot of friends that go to the University and I think Lawrence is a great place for Ethiopian food." Belete said. "We want the cafe to give people a taste of Ethiopian culture. With certain dishes and events, we
will try to educate people about our culture."
Students, both international and national, make up a big percentage of the restaurant's customers at the Kansas City location.
"I am really interested in trying the new restaurant." Greg summers, Topeka senior said. "I think its cool that the city will have an African restaurant in town."
Belete said he hoped students like Summers would come, try the food, enjoy the atmosphere and return often.

Students lobby against death penalty
KU Amnesty International members encourage others to join their plea to end capital punishment today
BY CYNTHIA HERNANDEZ

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
KU Amnesty International provided a week of action as it tried to get students to fight against the death penalty.
Today is Lobby Day Against the Death Penalty but the KU group began its activities on Thursday, Feb.
3, by setting up an informational table in the Kansas Union. They also held discussions and wrote letters to legislators.
"There's a battle between legislators," Jessie Funk, KU Amnesty International treasurer and Manhattan sophomore, said. "We want to go to the capital and make our voices heard that the death penalty is too flawed to fix
and it's a violation of human rights."
The week of events followed at the heels of Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline's Dec. 24 recommendation that the Kansas Supreme Court reinstate the death penalty. The court said it was unconstitutional because of a provision that encouraged jurors to choose the death penalty
instead of life in prison.
number. Forms were distributed in the Kansas Union, through e-mails to other organizations and by passing them out around town.
The organization encouraged students to make appointments to explain their opinions with their senator and representative at the state capital in Topeka. Jay Kimmel, KU Amnesty International member and Wichita sophomore, said last year the group had about 15 participants. He said this year it hoped to double that
"We really want to get people motivated," Kimmel said.
The group planned to kick off the week with a showing of "Dead Man Walking" but was unable to find a venue.

Money donated for play
The Lied Center received $20,000 to produce a play premiering in April, said Karen Christilles, Lied Center associate director.
The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation in Mayetta donated the money, which will help cover production expenses for Ping Chong's play "Native Voices—Secret History," Christilles said.
Chong's play is based on personal experiences of Native Americans in Lawrence.
Native Americans from around the Lawrence community will perform in the play, Christilles said.
"This is one of the ways in which Native Americans and non-Native Americans in the community can better understand each other," she said.
The donation will also help pay for Chong to come to Lawrence in March.
During this time, he'll finish writing the script and begin rehearsals for the performances, which will take place April 28 through 30.
Chong will also conduct workshops and master classes for students at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University during his stay, Christilles said.

Coroner identifies body
The identity of a body found in a ditch near 1125 East Road and County Road 438 has been determined, according to a Douglas County Sheriff's Office statement.
The deceased man is Michael R. Gisi, a 34-year-old Topeka resident. Eric Mitchell, coroner, identified the body after an autopsy was performed yesterday.
The cause of death is listed as hypothermia and drowning. The body was found shortly before 5 p.m. Monday and was partially submerged in water. Cocaine and alcohol intoxication were possible contributing factors, according to the statement.
The manner of death does not suggest a homicide, said Lt. Kathy Tate, with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"Right now, there is nothing to indicate that foul play or suspicious activity was involved," she said.
Gisi had been in Lawrence Sunday night. While he was traveling back to Topeka, an argument took place and he asked to be let out of the car. His body was later found in that area.
Friends filed a missing persons report in Topeka when he did not return home the next day, according to the statement.
Once the investigation is complete, the report will be forwarded to the district attorney's office.

Kline to defend evolution stickers
TOPEKA — State Attorney General Phill Kline has offered to defend placing stickers in school textbooks saying evolution is a theory, not a fact, the chairman of the State Board of Education said yesterday.
"I firmly believe that it should be allowed," Kline said of the stickers, which he said he would defend in court.
Steve Abrams, the chairman of the state board, said Kline
brought up the subject during meetings with small groups of board members. Kline told The Associated Press he believes such stickers are reasonable, even though a federal judge in Georgia ruled last month that similar stickers are an unconstitutional endorsement of religion.
"I think it's a good compromise between moderates and conservatives." Kline said.
Abrams said he is not aware of any board members interested in placing such stickers in textbooks.
Kline met Tuesday with the
six members of the board's conservative majority in two groups of three, which moderate board member Sue Gamble said violated the spirit of the state's open meetings law. The law requires meetings of six or more board members — a quorum — be held in public.
Kline said the meetings didn't violate the meetings law because he was not conveying the opinions of board members from meeting to meeting, adding that the meetings weren't secret and he was willing to disclose the topics.

tunity to run his own dry cleaning business in Birmingham, Ala., at no money down and a yearly salary of approximately $100,000. He said the job did not work out for him and he became a corporate client specialist at Nation's Bank. He said he worked 80 to 90 hours a week, which caused his mental breakdown.
Conroy returned to the University this year to pursue a Bachelor of General Sciences degree in English. He said he wanted to pursue a master's degree in library sciences — a
degree that the University does not offer — at Missouri.
He said he chose the residence halls because it gave him the opportunity to concentrate on his studies and get on a meal plan.
Jonathan Doerr, Olathe freshman, met Conroy at the beginning of the year at Hashinger.
"We were just having a conversation about a movie when I met him," Doerr said. "He's an incredible human being; there's really just no other way to describe him."
Doerr said he will work to establish a law that explicitly states that a convicted felon cannot live in residence halls so that
Conroy's situation will not happen to anyone else. He said he will establish a petition through the Student Rights Committee to push the law.
Doerr, along with other Hashinger residents, passed out 300 fliers outlining their disagreement with Conroy's departure.
Conroy said he was unsure where he would attend school next. He will return to Kirkwood on Sunday.
"I'm going to get back to school, get my degree and become a librarian," Conroy said. "The reason I came here was to get a career."

"I always used to make fun of the people on Contestant's Row for not getting on stage," Ervin said. "But now I am one of those people."
Johnson said he was worried about making pricing mistakes. He said he calmed down after Bob Barker asked if the club would sing on stage. On today's show, the club sang "I'm A Jayhawk." Johnson said he was eager to watch the glee club on national television.
"So I have to admit I was more excited about that then
winning the prizes," he said.
They didn't advance past the row but received parting gifts for being on the show. Johnson received a set of CUTCO knives and women's jewelry. Ervin received luggage and a Tiffany lamp. He plans to put the lamp up for auction on Ebay.
Barker made it a point to tail to the glee club, said Hugo Vera glee club director and El Paso, Texas, graduate student.
"A lot of guys were asking if there was going to be a 'Happy Gilmore 2,'" Vera said. "He was joking, but he said he thinks Adam Sandler is afraid of him. He is a very nice guy."

Rice directs tough talk at Iran
BY ANNE GEARAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2005
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice put Iran and Europe on notice yesterday that their negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program cannot go on forever.
Nearing the end of a fence-ending tour of European allies, Rice said the United States had set no deadline on the Iran talks, but she also said the Bush administration had not changed its view that the United Nations should step in to get tougher on Iran.
In Washington, President
Bush said the Iranians needed to know that the free world was working together to send a clear message: Don't develop a nuclear weapon.
"And the reason we're sending that message is because Iran with a nuclear weapon would be a very destabilizing force in the world," Bush said.
Iran says its program is for nuclear power, not weapons. In Tehran, President Mohammad Khatami said yesterday that no Iranian government would ever abandon the progress the country has made in developing peaceful nuclear technology.
Khatami said that if the talks with Britain, France and
Germany fail, his government would not be bound by its undertaking to suspend enrichment.
"If other parties are not committed to their promises, we will not be committed to our promises at all," Khatami told a meeting of diplomats.
Rice has spoken in tough terms about Iran during this trip, but she has been careful to leave any criticism of the Europeans unsaid.
Asked at yesterday's news conference how long the diplomatic efforts should continue, Rice replied, "We've set no deadline, no timeline. The Iranians know what they need to do."

Book rentals save students money

EDUCATION
KRT CAMPUS
One of the biggest, yet least-known, bargains in higher education is housed in 7,500 square feet on the edge of the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Stacked in rows of bookshelves are tens of thousands of textbooks there for the renting, saving students from spending many hundreds of dollars to buy them.
In the last year or so, SIUE, Southeast Missouri State University and a couple dozen other schools that have run textbook rental programs for decades have been fielding calls from around the country about how they work.
The last few months. it seems like we've been
besieged," said King Lambird, assistant director of SIUE's Textbook Service.
That's less than the wholesale cost of 20 of the
Gov. Rod Blagojevich's office is considering textbook rentals as one of a number of ideas to help soften the blow of skyrocketing textbook prices at Illinois' other public universities. One of his aides visited SIUE a few months ago. Legislators in California considered rental programs last year, and cash-strapped students at various campuses have taken an interest in the programs as well.
SIUE's program has been around since the school started in the mid-1960s. It is fully supported by student fees, based on the number of credit hours they take. For a student with a full course load, that amounts to $80 to $100 a semester.
most expensive books in the school's system, which are each more than $100. The school has 149 textbooks that cost more than $80 each. Students at other colleges would not only have to pay that price for one book, but would probably pay 25 percent more to allow for bookstore mark-ups.
At Southeast Missouri State, in Cape Girardeau, students pay $83.75 a semester to rent textbooks for five courses.
Compare that to the nearly $900 a year the average student will spend on textbooks, according to a survey released last month by the state Public Interest Research Groups
The producer price index of college textbooks—the price at which publishers sell the books—has gone up 41.8 percent since 1998, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said.

Kansas counties get federal funds to repair ice damage
WASHINGTON President Bush declared disaster status yesterday for 32 Kansas counties hardest hit by last month's ice storm that left hundreds of thousands of people without electrical power.
Bush acted on the request from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who sought the federal assistance for the counties that were among the 56 for which she declared a disaster emergency on Jan. 4.
The president's declaration covers the period from Jan. 4-6. It makes federal funds available, on a cost-sharing basis, to the state, local governments and some nonprofit organizations within the counties for emergency work and the repair and replacement of facilities damaged by the storm. It includes the cost for dealing with such things as downed power lines and poles, and debris removal.
In the state's request, it estimated eligible damage in the affected counties at $39 million.

Ballot problems discovered; violence continues in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraqi officials said Wednesday they must recount votes from about 300 ballot boxes because of various discrepancies, delaying final results from the landmark national elections. Hundreds — perhaps thousands — of other ballots were declared invalid because of alleged tampering.
Postelection violence mounted, raising fears that the Jan. 30 balloting had done little to ease the country's grave security crisis.
An American soldier was killed Wednesday and another wounded in an ambush north of the capital, the U.S. military said. Two other American soldiers died earlier in the week, the command said Wednesday.
Gunmen ambushed a convoy of Kurdish party officials in Baghdad, killing one and wounding four. And in the southern city of Basra, gunmen killed an Iraqi journalist working for a U.S.-funded TV station and his 3-year-old son as they left their home.

GUEST COMMENTARY
RAY PENCE
opinion@kansan.com
Until this semester, the Vickers Memorial Lecture Series has been a valuable part of intellectual life at the University of Kansas. Some students, myself included, may disagree with the conservative ideas that most Vickers lecturers express. But there is no denying that the past speakers have been first-rate.
Appearance by Coulter inappropriate
In the past, students have heard from the first President Bush, Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor and the late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
One does not need to share the opinions of these individuals to respect them and their service to society.
Unfortunately and inexplicably, those who choose lecturers for the Vickers series have demeaned its 36-year tradition by picking Ann Coulter to speak on March 29. For those who don't know her, Coulter claims to represent conservatives in her TV commentary, newspaper columns and best-selling books.
Coulter envisions herself as the champion of true Americans fighting against their enemies — terrorists, feminists and liberals whom she lumps all three together in hateful rhetoric.
For many people, however, Coulter's work is hilarious. They enjoy her brazen attitude and the way she outrages liberals.
I appreciate satirical humor as much as anyone, and I don't expect political commentary to always be polite. But I draw the line at writing that advocates killing Muslims and liberals, calls for terroristic action against The New York Times and insults disabled Vietnam War veterans.
In an interview with www.rightwingnews.com, Coulter suggested that the execution of John Walker Lindh, the American who fought for the Taliban in Afghanistan, should have been an example for liberals.
"We need to execute people like Lindh in order to physically intimidate liberals by making them realize that they can be killed, too." Coulter said.
In the current atmosphere of legitimate anger and fear about terrorism, Coulter's comment is truly dangerous.
The Web site for the School of Business states that the Vickers lectures focus on the need to "debate or discuss subjects vital to maintaining a free political and market society." Nothing Coulter has done or said supports this admirable value. She wants to humiliate and silence, rather than debate her opponents. Her words are violent, as well as her proposed response to liberals.
Feminists are another favorite target for Coulter, although they shouldn't be. Deep down, Coulter knows she wouldn't have a career as a single woman, making millions by expressing her views publicly if it weren't for feminism.
As bad as Coulter is, she is not alone in turning American political discourse into an ugly cartoon. Liberals have their versions of Coulter in commentators like Ted Rall and Michael Moore, who rely on name-calling, sweeping generalizations and outright falsehoods.
As a liberal who respects those who disagree with me, I reject Rall and Moore as spokesmen and call on conservatives to do the same with Coulter.
I also urge those in charge of the Vickers series to reconsider their choice of Coulter, and to be more conscientious in the future. There are better conservative representatives available. And there are other campus venues that would be more suited for Coulter's rhetoric. She would fit right in with Fred Phelps and his followers outside the Lied Center.

Bottled water not quite all it's cracked up to be
SOUZA SAYS
Every day, this campus is flooded with water. Water in bottles. People carry water everywhere, and water bottles in class are as common as notebooks and pens.
Mary M. Sullivan
This epidemic is not just present here at the University. It seems to be sweeping the country.
GABRIELLA SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
Bottled water has always been a necessity outside the United States, where the local water has harbored threatening diseases including dysentery.
But here in the United States it seems almost unthinkable to spend extra money on water when citizens already pay a monthly tap water bill.
It is because people are being led to believe that tap water is not sanitary and is bad for their health. Consumers also are spoonfed advertising for bottled water, which makes it seem cool for the American public to have a water bottle surgically attached to their hands.
One curious aspect of bottled water is its outrageous cost. It is cheaper at some convenience stores to buy a fountain Coke than it is to buy a bottle of water.
The statistics get much more shocking. According to information on the Natural Resources Defense Council Web site, www.nrdc.org, a $1.50 half-liter bottle of water could cost about 10,000 times more per gallon than regular tap water.
"American Demographics" reported that "a five-year supply of bottled water at the recommended intake of eight glasses a day can cost more than $1.000. An equivalent amount of tap water costs about a $1.65." Perhaps when people realize how much they are spending, this manic use of water bottles will pass.
tising and labels, it makes a statement about how clean and chemical-free it is. As the International Bottled Water Association states, "Unfortunately, tap water can be inconsistent — sometimes it might be OK, but other times it is not." This is not the reality of the situation, however.
One promotion of bottled water is that through its adver-
The National Resources Defense Council Web site also reports that bottled water does contain contaminants in some cases and that overall, tap water has to be monitored more often than bottled water.
In fact, tap water testing can only be done in government-certified labs.
One can only assume why bottled water is so popular at this moment. Perhaps it has become attractive to always have a water bottle handy. Or perhaps it should all be blamed on advertising.
Whatever the reason, it should be made known that the assumptions about bottled water versus tap water can be false.
Then, maybe when a person finds himself about to buy a bottle of water, he will just save his money.

U.S. took part in unfair Chavez coup
"Yeah, Bush won and nobody's moving to Canada. Want to know why? Because we're all staving here to start a revolution."
- Free for All comment. Nov, 16, 2004
This story, recounted in Greg Palast's groundbreaking book "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy," provides a snapshot of the world situation this generation will have to face throughout the 21st Century. It's a story about globalization — how the United States has spread her corporate arms across the planet to harvest resources. It represents the real fight that will have to be fought to end tyranny in our time and the despair that leads to terrorism.
The coup occurred on April 12, 2002. Venezuelan elites stormed into the palace to kidnap President Hugo Chávez at gunpoint. Told that everyone in miraflares — Venezuela's White House — would be executed if he protested. Chávez went quietly.
In 1998, Chavez won the election with 58 percent of the vote. He gave land, bricks and milk to peasants living at or below the poverty line — peasants making up 80 percent of Venezuela's population.
At times Venezuela has been the No.1 supplier of oil to the United States, and its reserves are unmatched in the Western hemisphere.
To fund his domestic projects, Chavez, who also leads the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, raised the price of oil sold to American companies.
The Bush administration's hatred for Chavez then burned bright. In 2002, Iraq and Libya threatened an Arab oil embargo to protest the U.S. government's support of Israel. Access to Venezuela's oil became urgent. On April 12 the CIA backed a coup against Chavez. Fortunately, a million Venezuelans marched on the palace on April 13 and restored their president to power.
But the United States' imperial policies against Venezuela continue, exacerbated by the complicity of journalists and politicians alike.
Two months after the coup, the Venezuelan elite marched against Chávez in a protest numbering 200,000 people. This demonstration was widely reported in the American media. What the television stations and newspapers that covered this story failed to mention is up to a million people marched for Chávez on the same day.
The disinformation campaign directed against Chávez continues to this day: "Venezuelan society has become poorer and, in addition, divided," said Anibal Romero, a political science professor at Simón Bolívar University, to The Associated Press.
In fact, Venezuela has fared the best of all Latin-American societies. Chávez stands alone in refusing to join the expansion of NAFTA, which has imploded economies elsewhere.
The administration's feelings for Chávez are now openly hostile. In Condoleezza Rice's confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Jan. 18, 2005, the Secretary of State said it was "pretty hard" to find anything good to say about Chávez's government. Her stance was so imperial that Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee said "the Venezuelan people have spoken."
In his inaugural address on Jan. 20, President Bush quoted Abraham Lincoln: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it."
We'd better hope Honest Abe was wrong.

YOU SCREAM
By Besty Proffitt, KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
There is no better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than by indulging yourself in one of the most popular treats of all: ice cream. Whether you venture to your favorite parlor during your mid-afternoon stroll or drop for a dessert after a romantic dinner, it's the perfect place to spend time with your sweetheart.
- Janette Crowford, Kansan special sections editor
Will you be our valentine?
Did you know that it takes an average of 50 licks to finish a single scoop? Those licks contribute to the terrific ambiance at an ice cream shop. Not only does it allow you a glimpse into each other's goofy behavior as you try your hardest not to drip, but you can learn about someone by their ice cream selection.
Lawrence and Kansas City offer some of the best ice cream parliars around. Sylas and Maddy's 'Rock Chocolate Jayhawk' steals hearts. With so many options, you're sure to find one that satisfies your taste buds.
I, for example, can never leave a parlor without chocolate in my cone. The most popular flavor, vanilla, is boring, but if my date chose it, I must admit I'd have second thoughts.
During the month of February, Cold Stone Creamery is featuring an exclusive "Red Hot Creation," and the The Cup is having a special "10-Minute Date Night" for singles. Here's the scoop on a few of the most popular.
Even if you're without a special someone, Feb. 14 is a great day to love ice cream. Going with your friends offers an advantage: You can order that extra scoop guilt-free, and there's less need to worry about getting drops of ice cream on yourself.

MANHATTAN — Kansas State, 65. Keith Langford, Wayne Simie and J.R. Giddens, 65.
No, it's not a mistake. The three Kansas players combined for as many points as the entire Kansas State team.
Seniors Keith Langford and Wayne Simien and sophomore J.R. Giddens scored all but nine of Kansas' points in last night's 74-65 victory against Kansas State. The Jayhawks improved to 19-1 and remained undefeated in the Big 12 Conference.

Lately, it hasn't been unusual to see the Kansas starters shoulder the bulk of the load. The Jayhawks had just two bench points in their victory against Missouri and ten against Nebraska on Saturday. But Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't remember a time when team scoring had been so lopsided.
"Those three were good, offensively especially," Self said. "Keith was terrific, Wayne was terrific and LR, was really good tonight."
Giddens' set a season-high, scoring 18 points. Simien added 23 and Langford followed up his 27-point game against Nebraska with 24 points last night.
The Jayhawks led by as many as 17 in the second half, but allowed the Wildcats to claw back to within four points. On a night when senior guard Aaron Miles committed six turnovers and scored only one point and the Jayhawks got just six points from their bench, the ploy of the big three proved to be clutch.
"If those three don't show up to play tonight, we had no chance to win," Self said.
Kansas didn't come out sluggish in the early minutes of the first half, as they have done in the past.

Kansas turns in a lukewarm performance against Oklahoma State
BY PAUL BRAND

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Wednesday's game against lastplace Oklahoma State 7-13 (2-8 Big 12) presented Kansas with a rare opportunity to be the odds-on favorite, but apparently the Jayhawks were not ready to take on that role.
In a talented Big 12 Conference, Kansas has played the role of the underdog for most of the season.
"We knew if we didn't show up and didn't compete, we could lose to a team we're not supposed to lose to." Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks, 10-11 (3-7), responded with a lackluster performance that ultimately resulted in an upset victory for the Cowgirls. 57-54.
Down the stretch, Oklahoma State held off a late Kansas surge by shooting a combined 19-of-23 from the free-throw line to seal the deal.
Despite the late-game success of the Cowgirls in free throws and clutch scoring, Kansas came back from an eight-point deficit to take the lead with a little more

Burras scored a team-high 16 points on the night.
As Oklahoma State's early second-half run and lead evaporated, Kansas senior guard Aquanita Burras led a charge with seven consecutive points that gave her team the lead, 47-46, but the Cowgirls responded with seven points of their own to regain the advantage, 53-47.
Kansas battled to close the gap, and found itself within three on the final possession, but a three-point shot by junior guard Erica Hallman rimmed out to end the contest.
than four minutes left in the game.
The second half, dictated by the low-post
presence of the Cowgirls, was a simple role reversal for both teams.
write Oklahoma State dominated the paint in the closing period, it was Kansas' front line that took the initiative early.
After claiming an early 21-12 lead, Kansas let Oklahoma State creep back into the game.
At the half, the Jayhawks led 29-25 and utilized an enormous rebounding advantage to outmaneuver a taller Cowgirl roster.
Facing off with 6-foot-4 senior center Eliz Gomes and 6-foot-5 sophomore Christian Hood, the Jayhawk posts more than held their own in the first frame.
Kansas junior forward Crystal Kemp grabbed seven first-half rebounds, and freshman forward Taylor McIntosh added six as Kansas out-rebounded Oklahoma State 26-11 in the opening period.
The dominant performance down low disappeared in the second half as McIntosh was saddled with her third foul, leaving Kemp as the lone starter to fend off the Cowgirl front line.
"Taylor getting in foul trouble really hurt us," Henrickson said.

KU law student has plenty to cheer about
BY FRANK TANKKAND
fiankand@kansas.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
As Kendrea White posed for the camera under the giant statue in front of Green Hall known by some as "The Surfin' Judge," she instinctively flashed the smile she has used on the sideline of every Kansas City Chiefs home game for six seasons.
She brushed her hair back and talked through her teeth about meeting Lamar Hunt and KC Wolf.
Then she led the way into Green Hall, the law building, and down a short flight of stairs.
She posed for another picture in front of an intimidating stack of law books, more of which line the walls of the office. Out came the itinerary for her 10-day trip to Hawaii, where she is taking part in Pro Bowl week. She has represented the Chiefs cheerleaders there, since Monday.
She pulled out a key and opened the door to the Legal Aid Clinic. There, she helps defend people who can't afford any better in juvenile, municipal and domestic cases.
It's a busy week: buffet breakfasts at the resort, photo shoots, free lunches and lauus, beach
bowling, hospital visits, a daylong cheerleading rehearsal, a VIP party, a film festival (beachside), a cheerleading clinic at Pearl Harbor. And more.
When she returns home, she'll get on with finishing her law degree. She graduates in Mav.
White, 29, expects to be both a cheerleader and an attorney by this time next year. That's something game production manager Donna Scott doesn't remember happening with the Chiefs.
"But I don't think it's too unusual," said Scott, who has worked for the Chiefs for 26 years.
Glance at the Chiefs cheerleading Web page and you'll see Ginger, an emergency room nurse, Shannon, a dental student, Angel, an art liaison, Heidi, a physical therapist, Brandi, a mutual fund representative, Jessie, an elementary school teacher, and Loree, a community college English instructor, just to name a few.
"We're all professional women." White explained.
Yet White said the 36 well- rounded members of the team constantly face the stereotype of the ditz, flirtatious cheerleader.

Despite the Vulcans' best scoring effort in the series, the Jawhaws triumphed, 16-8.
Travis Goset, junior left-handed pitcher, started for Kansas but was left with a no decision after allowing two runs in three innings.
Ryotaro Hayakawa, sophomore right-handed pitcher, then came in and earned the victory by allowing no runs in two innings of work.
Kansas struck first at the plate with consecutive RBI singles from John Allman, freshman designated hitter, and Jake Kauzlarich, senior catcher.

Team has rough start to season
The Kansas softball team (1-4) will head to Las Cruces, N.M., this weekend to compete in the Hilton Classic. Kansas will open by facing off against Arkansas and Purdue tomorrow.
The team suffered three tough losses at the Arizona Pepsi Classic last weekend.
Kansas coach Tracy Burge said the Jayhawks had performed well thus far into the season, despite their record.
"It was one of those weekends where all the close calls went against us," Bunge said.
Jackie Vasquez, freshman outfielder, led the team in the tournament with seven hits.
nette Fierros, junior third baseman, also sparked the Jayhawks lineup, hitting .600.
Offensively, the Jayhawks showed good balance and were able to put runs on the board. Defensively, they were also solid with a .960 fielding percentage.
Bunge said she was surprised that the pitching needed improvement. Going into the season, pitching looked to be the strong point of the team, she said. But Kansas had 18 walks this past weekend and failed to get ahead in counts.

TV strike hurts reputation
OLYMPICS
BY STEPHEN WILSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TURIN, Italy — The Olympic torch has arrived and banners are flying. A day before celebrations marking a year until the Turin Games, though, Italy's reputation took a hit 200 miles away at the Alpine World Championships with the postponement of a race because of a local TV strike.
The walkout that forced the men's giant slalom to be abandoned in Bormio yesterday was organized by a small union of RAI state TV workers over contract issues, raising fears similar action could disrupt next year's Olympics.
"I'm a little bit ashamed by this," Valentino Castellani, Turin's chief Olympic organizer, told The Associated Press. "It's not good for the image of our country."
This is not the sort of display local organizers wanted to present to the IOC, which is holding a two-day executive board meeting exactly one year before the opening of the Feb. 10-26, 2006, Olympics in this Piedmont city at the foot of the Alps near the French border.
International Olympic Committee leaders will get a firsthand look at preparations for the games, as well as assurances that Turin's $196 million budget shortfall will be covered by the government.
Castellani stressed there is no danger of a TV strike at the Olympics because the organizing committee (TOROC) operates as host broadcaster and provides the TV feed. In addition, TOROC plans to negotiate a no-strike deal with trade unions for the games.
A few months ago, Turin was being compared to Athens and its delays in preparing for the 2004 Summer Olympics. But most venues are ready, and the IOC is upbeat.
"I don't think there is any possible comparison between Athens and Turin," said Gilbert Felli, the IOC's executive director for the Olympic Games. "They are on track."
The Olympic torch was presented in Turin yesterday for the first time. The torch relay will begin in Rome on Dec. 8 and travel more than 7,000 miles across the country before reaching Turin for the opening ceremony.
Just outside the IOC hotel, a ramp has been set up for a snowboard exhibition this weekend. There are World Cup biathlon races this week in San Sicario and snowboard events at Bardonecchia, both Olympic venues.
Bardonecchia, Italy Last month, the renovated arena in Turin hosted the European figure skating championships. World Cup luge races in Cesana Pario, however, were canceled last weekend after several bad crashes on the new track.
Tomorrow, dignitaries and former Olympic champions will gather for the unveiling of the official countdown clock, which ticks away the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the opening ceremony.
IOC president Jacques Rogge will send official invitations to the world's national Olympic committees; about 2,500 athletes from 85 nations are expected to participate.
expected to participate. Castellani will give a progress report to the IOC board, including the apparent resolution of TOROC's budget problems. After a highlevel meeting in Rome on Tuesday, the government said it would step in to cover the gap caused mainly by a shortage of state-owned sponsors.
Details still need to be worked out. As a private foundation, TOROC is prevented by state law from receiving government subsidies.
Meanwhile, the IOC board also is expected to recommend the expulsion of suspended IOC vice president Kim Un-yong in connection with corruption charges in South Korea. The IOC ethics commission will submit a report on Kim's case Friday.
Kim, who finished second to Rogge in the IOC presidential election in 2001, was suspended from the IOC a year ago after his arrest on embezzlement and bribery charges in South Korea. His country's Supreme Court upheld his two-year prison term last month, clearing the way for the IOC to consider expulsion. Kim, 75, has maintained his innocence and called the charges politically motivated.
If the board recommends his ouster, the final decision would go to the full IOC assembly in Singapore in July. A two-thirds vote is required for expulsion.
SOCCER
U.S. team victorious Trinidad defeated
BY RONALD BLUM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORT-OF-SPAIN. Trinidad — Fifteen years later, the United States still knows how to spoil Trinidad's party.
Eddie Johnson kept up his incredible run of goals when he scored in the 30th minute, Eddie Lewis boosted the lead early in the second half and the United States beat Trinidad and Tobago 2-1 yesterday in the opener of the final round of World Cun qualifying.
World Cup qualifying.
Kasey Keller, who made a 23-hour trip from Germany on Monday to get to the game, made a sliding save on Leslie Fitzpatrick on a breakaway eight minutes into the second half that denied a tying goal. Keller also made several fine stops in the first half on Stern John and Dwight Yorke, playing his first official game for T&T since June 2001.
2001.
Less than three weeks ago, the Americans didn't even know if they would have their top players or would send a team of minor leaguers because of a labor dispute. But an interim settlement ensured the regulars would be on the field through 2005, and the 11th-ranked U.S. team imposed its will on Trinidad and Tobago, ranked 61st, until tiring in the final minutes.
"It's massive," Keller said, "especially with all the drama that's gone on around the team. The guys came together and got a great victory."
Until Angus Eve scored in the 89th minute on a cross that went in off Keller's hand, the home team didn't have much to cheer for. The United States, which plays its next qualifier at Mexico on March 27, is 22-0-8 against North and Central American and Caribbean rivals since a September 2001 loss at Costa Rica. The Americans haven't lost to a Caribbean opponent since a 1994 defeat in Trinidad.
"When you write the story of this game, there were a bunch of reasons why we couldn't be successful today." U.S. coach Bruce Arena said. "We never agreed with that. I think the way our team pulled together over the last couple of weeks to be ready to play this game under difficult conditions — travel, field conditions, the heat, everything else — it turns out to be a fantastic result."
Ash Wednesday usually is a beach day in this Caribbean nation, where the Carnival celebration that ends the previous night is huge. But the steel and samba drums were sounding for the Soca Warriors in the searing 90-degree heat at the Queen's Park Oval, with T&T hoping to continue the celebration and exact revenge for the November 1989 loss to the Americans that denied it a berth at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
Johnson struck in the 30th minute, just as Paul Caligiuri did 15 years ago in the famous qualifier at nearby Hasley Crawford Stadium, a game that put the United States in soccer's top event for the first time since 1950.
Coming down the right flank of the 80-yard-wide field, Steve Cherunoldo crossed the ball into the penalty area and the 20-year-old Johnson, with no defenders near him on the near post, headed the ball into the net from 12 yards out. Goalkeeper Neil Shaka Hislop had no chance.
"The weight was already on the ball." Johnson said. "It was just about me redirecting it, and I thought I caught the keeper off guard."
He has six goals in just four international appearances and became the first player to score in each of his first four games with the U.S. national team. He matched William Looby (1955) and Brian McBride (2001) as the only player to score in four straight games and with six goals in qualifying already has tied Willy Roy for third on the career scoring list in qualifying behind Earnie Stewart (nine) and McBride (seven).
Nine minutes into the second half, Johnson passed the ball to Landon Donovan, who gave it to Lewis for a left-footed shot from about 23 yards out that easily went in. Arena credited Shaka Hislop for making several saves that kept the score close.
"The game could easily have been 3- or 4-nothing." Arena said.

WOMEN'S GOLF
Golf team to develop its younger players
BY TRAVIS ROBINET
trobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil knows her team has a lot of experience to gain this semester.
With no seniors on the squad and only three juniors out of nine players, the team must look to a younger generation to lead them.
Last semester was a good start, as the Jayhawks finished in the top 10 in their last three events, including a first-place finish at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational held at Alvamar Golf & Country Club, Oct. 11-12. With 11 teams competing, Kansas won by a 15-stroke margin.
Since the break, the players have practiced improving their mental game, which is probably the biggest challenge golf has to offer, O'Neil said. Her players are reading the book "With Winning in Mind," by Lanny Bassham.
O'Neil said she wanted her players to read a few chapters a week so they could have positive attitudes going into each shot. Even though the book is not about golf specifically, O'Neil still thinks it is a good tool.
The short game is another aspect the team has been practicing.
"We want the girls to apply the book to golf," O'Neil said.
"I have them do a lot of wedge work. They'll hit 20 shots from 40 yards, another 20 from 60, and another 20 from 80," she said. "Also, I'll place nine balls in different areas and make the players get up and down."
O'Neil said her team is ready despite the weather. The players retreat to their indoor practice facility when it is impossible to get outside to play.
"It really affects our short game," sophomore Jill Womble said. "All you can do in the indoor facility is hit balls off of a mat. We don't even get to putt."
The Jayhawks took advantage of clear skies and warm weather last week and actually had an opportunity to play a few rounds.
"Last winter we didn't get to play at all." Womble said.
WOMEN'S GOLF SCHEDULI
The team will be able to prove just how far they have come during the six scheduled events this spring. If they improve enough, the regional championships are definitely within striking distance, O'Neil said.
The women's golf season begins Feb. 28 when the team heads to Texas A&M. Kansas coach Erin D'Neil said she expected her young team — that features just three upperclassmen — to make it to May's NCAA regionals. The Davhawks will participate in six events before regionalists.

Golfers, celebrities enjoy the new view at Pebble Beach
I am not sure if this is a dance performance or a still from a movie. The background is quite blurry, but it looks like an outdoor scene with a large body of water and some trees. The person is wearing a dark-colored shirt and pants, and they are standing with their arms outstretched. It might be a dance routine or a part of a performance.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Tim Herron walked back to the sixth tee yesterday morning at Pebble Beach and took in a spectacular view of the 513-yard hole, which stretches out toward the Pacific Ocean, rising along the rugged cliffs on the right side of the fairway.
Something didn't look right.
"Wow." Herron said. "Look at those cliffs."
Then it dawned on him. He never could see the cliffs so clearly because of a large cypress tree. But that tree is no longer there, wiped out by holiday storms. It should make the par 5 play easier, because any tee shot that strayed too far to the right was blocked by the tree. Players either had to go over or around it.
"You can see the whole cliff now, and it's pretty cool," Herron said. "But it changes everything, especially on the second shot. That tree played with your head."
The Pebble Beach National Pro-Am will have a slightly different look when it gets under way today.
Rain that deluged California six weeks ago also washed out a small section of the 18th fairway about 280 yards from the tee, making the landing area a little tighter. Plus, the two cypress trees replaced in the middle of the fairway were planted about 20 yards farther out than they were.
"I hit a drive where I used to, and it was 15 yards from the water — not 25," Jim Furyk said.
But there are some things about
Pebble Beach that rarely change.
One of them is the weather,
and that's the good news. A tournament that developed a reputation for "Crosby weather" — cold, rain, wind, rain, fog, rain — looks as if it will be basking in sunshine for the fifth straight year.
And the field is eclectic as ever. Because the three courses
have room for 180 pro-team, the pros range from defending champion Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson to players like Steve Stricker, Garrett Willis and Tom Scherrer, whose only status on the PGA
Tour is having won a tournament once upon a time.
Amateurs range from Hollywood stars (Bill Murray, Kevin Costner) to comedians (George Lopez) to athletes (Patriots coach Bill Belicheck, Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice) to CEOs from Fortune 500 companies.
Another Pebble tradition over the last two decades is the type of name on the crystal trophy. Only three of the last 21 winners of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am have not won a major.
No other regular PGA Tour event has such a major list of winners over the last two decades. The next best is The Players Championship — the fifth major
— with 16 of the last 21 champions having also won majors.
“It's going to be a slow process of putting yourself in position and never really shooting yourself out of the tournament," said Mark O'Meara, a Masters and British Open champion who has won five times at Pebble. "Then when the final round is played at Pebble, it's not like somebody is going out and shooting suner. super low."
Furyk cited the quality of the courses and the size of the greens that require precision iron shots.
The celebrities out for a good time also contribute to 6-hour rounds, and so many footprints around the hole on the small greens will making the putting surface as smooth as broccoli. It can get aggravating.
But the pavoff is worth it.
Pebble Beach isn't a major, but it is teeming with tradition, and it's a chance to join a major call of past champions.

Jayhawks tame Massey, continue streak
Free throws ward off Wildcat surge
BY KELLI ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
MANHATTAN — Kansas coach Bill Self wasn't going to let Jeremiah Massey be the one to defeat the Jayhawks last night.
Sort of.
He treated the Kansas State senior forward as the focal point of his defensive efforts, and it worked.
By using a rotation of big men, Kansas forced last year's Big 12 newcomer of the year into shooting six of 16 from the field, and slowed him to a mere five first-half points.
Massey eventually found his groove and turned in a fine 20-point performance that featured eight free throws, but by the time he stepped up his game it was too late.
"Their game plan was to bang him, hit him, and not worry about a foul down there," Kansas State coach Jim
Wooldridge said. "It's tough on him because he's playing against bigger bodies."
Maybe it was Self's game plan. Maybe Massey was nervous because it was his last chance to play Kansas at home. Maybe it was the curse of K-State's 29-game losing streak against Kansas.
Whatever it was, it rendered him basically worthless in the first half of the Jayhawks' nine-point victory.
Not the kind of energetic start you want from a senior who is the only player featured on the cover of the Wildcats' media guide.
In fact, Massey was the man who many thought would be the miracle worker to finally end Kansas State's home loosing streak to their in-state rival.
Massey's 15-point second-half performance almost made that dream a reality, but the Kansas road game winning streak in Manhattan now stands at 22.
Kansas coach Bill Self didn't even put senior forward Wayne Simien on him. Instead, junior forward Christian Moody drew the defensive assignment.
Moody allowed Massey to score three points before picking up two early fouls, and Moody spent the remainder of the half on the bench.
"Christian was out of the game early." Self said. "We thought Sasha and Christian were the two best to guard him."
Self turned out to be correct, and Sasha Kaun picked up the slack.
the freshman forward played physical defense on Massey, and held him to only two points the rest of the first half.
"First half, Sasha did a great job on him," Self said. "He was two-o-fine in the first half."
Even when Massey made a good move and got a high-percentage look at the basket, he missed.
At one point faked out freshman forward Darnell Jackson and put up an easy lay, only to watch it spin around the rim twice and come out.
"He took some bad shots, but other than that he just had some good shots that didn't go in," Wooldridge said.
Another time, he spun past Kaun and put up a nice looking floater, but Simien came charging from the top of the key to
Massey couldn't do any better on rebounding or defense either. He only collected two rebounds in the first half, and ended with five.
swat it away.
On defense he had the task of guarding Simien, at times, and found no success there, as he allowed the Leavenworth native to score 23 points.
With 12:23 remaining in the game, Massey had an opportunity to put his team back in the game, but missed the front end of a one-and-one. He rebounded his own miss, and his putback shot was immediately blocked.
Massey didn't quit, though. Kansas switched to a zone defense and began trapping him, but he fought through the double teams and continually got to charity stripe.
"He went to the free-throw line in the second half," Self said. "We started trapping him and that worked a little better, but he still found a way to muscle the ball up there."
Self said he was impressed with Massey's effort, and was relieved that the streak lived on.

Before last night's game, Miles led the conference and was fifth in the nation in assists (7.3). He was coming off a four-game stretch in which he averaged 10.8 points per game, 8.5 assists and only 2.25 turnovers per game.
Miles was making a strong case for the Big 12's top honor (which is), leading the Jayhawks in every facet of the game. His defensive abilities are a major reason that Kansas ranks second in the nation in field-goal defense with 36.8 percent.
"Aaron's been so good." Kansas coach Bill said.
Poor games from star players happen.I know the entire Kansas team, including Miles, won't think twice about it.
That's why Miles' game last night was so glaring. His final line: one point, three rebounds, six assists and eight turnovers in 37 minutes.
"And then to have a game with so many unforced errors is not indicative of how good he can play."
Miles easily turned in his worst performance of the season and maybe his career.
Luckily for Miles, three of his fellow starters rose to the occasion and carried the team for the entire game.
Simien, senior guard Keith Langford and sophomore guard J.R. Giddens combined to score
65 points, matching the point total for the entire Wildcats team.
Self said his team would not have had a chance to win without those three players. The rest of the team combined for nine points. It's tough to win games without contributions from the bench.
Simien, Langford and Giddens average 43.2 points per game. It's unrealistic to rely on those three guys every night. In some cases, they'll light up the arena and save an occasionally anemic Kansas offense from embarrassment. But it won't happen all that often.
Kansas has been fortunate that it has not had to completely rely on those three scoring a ton of points on the same night. Team defense is the biggest reason Kansas is 19-1, 9-0 in the Big 12 Conference.
That defense was an oddity
last night. The numbers support a strong defensive performance.
The Jayhawks held the Wildcats to 38.2 percent from the field, largely a result of an unkind rim and poor shot selection by the Wildcats.
They did connect on nine three-pointers out of twenty, but that number also must be a concern for a team that has been holding opponents to 30.5 percent.
Poor games from star players happen. I know the entire Kansas team, including Miles, won't think twice about it.
Their most important player had an off night. But in no way did his performance diminish the fact that he still is the most important player on this team.
Aaron Miles for Big 12 conference player of the year.
"We never had a low-post presence," Henrickson said. "Crustal really struggled."
Upset
Oklahoma State took quick advantage of McIntohs's absence in the second half by jumping out of the gate with a 13-1 run.
Without McIntosh in the Kansas lineup, Oklahoma State posted five more rebounds than Kansas in the second period. Kemp, Kansas' leading scorer on the season, accounted for only seven points.
The Jayhawk offense fell out
of sync, and the defense repeatedly surrendered offensive rebounds to the Cowgirls.
"We didn't play smart offensively," Henrickson said. "In a one-possession game you've got to maximize opportunities.
On the offensive end, junior guard Erica Hallman struggled to score as Cowgirl senior guard Nina Stone clamped down in defense.
Stone, who ranks second in conference with 2.42 steals per game, effectively limited the scoring of Hallman for most of the game.
Several late buckets by Hallman helped her close out

with 15 points, but the effort came too late.
As Burras led the Kansas comeback and briefly reac-
quired the lead for the Jayhawks, the Cowgirls scored three straight buckets to regain the advantage and give the final margin.
The next conference test returns the Jayhawks to Allen Fieldhouse at 1 p.m. Sunday for a game against Colorado.
Monster
Kansas will play four consecutive home games before hitting the road again to finish out the season.
The Jayhawks took game one of this year's series against the Buffalooes with a 65-60 victory in Boulder, Colo.
They grabbed an early lead, but a 14-3 K-State run midway through the first half evened the score at 19. The Jayhawks countered by outscoring K-State 16-6 in the last ten minutes of the first period.

That was the story of the game. Whenever one team went on a run, the other rallied with a run of their own. Luckily for the Jayhawks, their scoring streaks were longer.
Edited by Jesse Truesdale
It also didn't hurt that the Wildcats' star forward Jermiah Massey, who averages 17 points a game, got just five points and two rebounds in the first half.
The Jayhawks' most substantial run of the game was the one that started in the first half and carried over into the second. Their 16-6 first half ending run put them up 35-25 at halftime, and they added a 9-3 run that in the first two minutes after the intermission.
"I thought we did a pretty good job on him," Simien said.
"I would say the end of the first half and the first five minutes of the second half was the difference in the game," Self said.
But four scoreless minutes and 10 consecutive K-State points later, Kansas' lead had dwindled to a 58-54 advantage with four and a half minutes to play.
Self credited the four-minute drought to a combination of
In the early minutes of the second half, the Jayhawks looked on pace for a blowout.

good defense by the Wildcats, who switched into a zone defense, and sloppy play from his team.
"Our carelessness led to the funk, and it created indecision, and then they go to zone," Self said. "Our indecisiveness led to the scoring drought and that came from our indecisiveness."
Self said the biggest play of the game was a three-point shot by J.R. Giddens with about a minute and a half left in the game. After pulling within four, the Wildcats never got any closer, but they did hang in there.
Giddens' three extended the Kansas lead to 64-56, but more importantly, it killed K-State's momentum.
"That was a play that we drew up, but I missed it last time," Giddens chuckled. "It was good execution and good screens by my teammates."
Kansas sealed the victory by hitting 11 of 15 free throw attempts in the final three minutes of the game.

COLLEGE HOOPS
Rival teams battle, take game to the wire
BY KEITH PARSONS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — Duke slowed the pace and made North Carolina play a halfcourt game. Under those circumstances, nobody plays better defense than the Blue Devils.
J. J. Redick scored 18 points, freshman DeMarcus Nelson added 16, and No.7 Duke forced 23 turnovers to hold off the second-ranked Tar Heels 71-70 last night.
North Carolina squandered a chance to win in the final seconds, never getting a shot off after inbounding with 18 seconds left. David Noel dribbled the ball out of bounds just as the buzzer sounded, and the Cameron Crazies raced onto the court to celebrate the Blue Devils' 15th victory in the past 18 games in this Tobacco Road rivalry.
Daniel Ewing finished with 15 points and helped the Blue Devils (18-2, 8-2) move into a first-play tie with North Carolina in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Wake Forest trails both teams by one-half game.
Duke finished 21-of-22 from the free throw line and nailed 10
three-pointers. All but one of the Blue Devils' baskets in the second half — a layup by Nelson with about 10 minutes left — were threes.
Sean May had 23 points and 18 rebounds for the Tar Heels (19-3, 8-2), who couldn't overcome their shoddy ball control. Point guard Raymond Felton had eight turnovers, May added five, and the top assist team in Division I finished with only 10, which was 11 below its average.
But Nelson was the better first-year player in this one. He came up big when it counted, swishing two three-pointers in a span of about 90 seconds in the second half to help Duke take a 49-42 lead. Williams helped the Tar Heels rally, powering over Shavlik Randolph for a layup that turned into a three-point play to tie it at 53 midway through the second半分.
Felton scored 13 points and freshman Marvin Williams had 12 for North Carolina.
Ewing connected on consecutive three-point shots, Nelson added four free throws and Redick drained another three-
point bomb to give the Blue Devils a nine-point lead. Still, North Carolina didn't give up.
Felton scored six quick points to offset two more free throws for Nelson, and May knocked down two free throws to bring the Tar Heels within three. Randolph increased the lead to five with Duke's final points — again coming on free throws — leaving the score 71-66 with less than 2 minutes left.
May worked inside to tip in a miss by Rashad McCants; and Williams stuffed a layup by Nelson. That set up a McCants' layup that cut the margin to one point. Redick then was forced to launch a shot from about 28 feet with the shot clock winding down, and the Tar Heels took possession with the game on the line.
Felton passed up an open shot to look down low for Williams or May, and he finally passed to Noel. But with time running out, Noel couldn't get off a shot, and Duke survived.
McCants, the leading scorer for North Carolina, was only 3-of-13 from the field and had 11 points.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"I've noticed at photo appearances, people can be kind of cavalier," she said. "They think we don't do anything. When I tell them I'm a law student, they completely change their attitude. They're just surprised by it."
Elaine Hart, Chiefs cheerleading director, said being a Chiefs cheerleader encompasses more than waving a pair of pompoms on the sideline while Tony Gonzales dunks the ball over the crossbar.
Hart said every member of the squad makes weekly appearances at Kansas City charity events, year-round. The cheerleaders also hold clinics for more
than 1,000 children a year, she said, something White eniows.
"She's extremely talented at that," Hart said. "We try to teach them about character, integrity, fitness, confidence and performance. She's a good person to learn from."
It was as a child growing up in Wichita that White first became interested in cheerleading. She started doing it in junior high.
"I would always see the Wichita State cheerleaders practicing," she said. "I kind of got interested in it, and I've been cheering all the way through."
When she came to the University in 1995, she cheered at Kansas football and basketball games on her way to earning a bachelor's degree in sports
management.
Three years ago, after taking some graduate classes at the University of Missouri-Kansas City while working as an intern in its athletics department, she decided to take her career in a different direction.
The way she described it, she picked law school almost arbitrarily.
"I had done debate and stuff like that in high school," she said. "I figured, why not? It was on a whim, really."
So she spent a couple of months studying for the Law School Admission Test and did well enough to get in to the KU School of Law. Her first semester was tough.
"It was like a world I've never
been in," she said. But she made it through.
Webb Hecker, associate dean of the school, remembers a wideeyed White chatting him up three years ago at a faculty-student mixer, their first encounter. When he later received a Christmas card from Hart, including a picture of the Chiefs cheerleaders, he wasn't surprised.
"I think of the stereotype of a cheerleader as somebody who has a huge, white, pretty smile constantly, somebody with a lot of energy and a very upbeat outlook on life," he said. "That describes Kendra perfectly."
She's travelled a long way since then. She's a Pro Bowl cheerleader set to take the Kansas Bar Exam in July. Chatting in a comfortable chair in the Burge Union lobby, she described the rush of emotions she felt when the announcement boomed over the loudspeaker at halftime of the Chiefs-Raiders game on Christmas. She has been picked to go to the Pro Bowl.
"I was completely in shock," she said. "It's such a huge honor."
Hawaii won't be the first place White has traveled as a Chiefs cheerleader. She reached into her purse - it's one of those hip purses with the first letter of her name stitched on the side - and pulled out a small photo album.
"Let me show you some pictures," she said, leaning in to share a closer look.
She flipped through photos
taken at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
where the Chiffers cheerleaders traveled this summer to stage a two-hour Broadway variety show for American troops.
"This guy right here, Brandon, he's 19," she said, pointing to a picture in which she's standing next to a soldier. "And he's from New York, this 19-year-old kid, fighting for my safety. You take so many things for granted."
Before White left, she pulled a Chiefs cheerleaders poster out of her purse and signed it. It'd make a great gift for a younger sister.
Somewhere between pictures of Hillary Duff and Avril Lavigne, hopefully, there has to be room for the cheerleading lawyer.

Early class times cut
ACADEMICS
Classes will be five minutes shorter starting spring 2006
BY DANI LUTT
dlitt@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The provost's office has good news for students. Classes won't begin at 7:30 a.m. anymore starting in the spring semester of 2006.
In order to improve space management on campus, the University of Kansas will reschedule class times to eliminate 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. classes.
The new class times are being implemented to make more effective use of classroom space.
Tuesday and Thursday lecture classes will also decrease five minutes per day. Currently, the total amount of class time per week, for Tuesday and Thursday classes is 160 minutes. With the new schedule, the total week class time will be reduced to 150 minutes for Tuesday and Thursday classes, which is the same as the total week class time for Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes.
The five minute decrease will give students more time between classes on Tuesday and Thursday.
All lecture classes will be 75 minutes each, Don Steeleps, vice
provost, said.
Under the new schedule, start times for Tuesday and Thursday classes will not be affected.
The extra half hour of sleep would not be necessary for Justin Soloman. The Dallas senior, said he was a morning person and liked to get class over with.
"I would rather not have a 7:30 a.m. class, but if I don't have a choice, then it is okay with me."
he said.
Steeple conducted a study by looking at class utilization information from a report by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
Research revealed that classrooms were not used during the noon hour.
As a result, the University is offering two-day a week classes on Monday and Wednesday, Monday

Bars' owner contests ban
LAWRENCE

jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The city's smoking ban is being put to the legal test.
Dennis Steffes, the owner of Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., and Coyote's Night Club, 1003 E. 23rd St., is contesting five charges of violating the city's smoking ban in a Lawrence Municipal Court trial that may spur a reappraisal of the ordinance.
The city and Steffes' attorney are preparing arguments for trial, which is scheduled for April 15. Steffes' attorney, Billy Rork, said he expected the judge to make a decision on the constitutionality of the ordinance on that date.
Dennis Steffes, who owns both bats, said the smoking ordinance was unconstitutional because it conflicted with state laws that allowed smoking. He said it was the city's responsibility to enforce the ordinance, not the bar owners.
"How can we be held responsible for what the general public is doing," Steffes said. "That is the job of the fire department and law enforcement."
David Corliss, director of legal services for the city, said the ordinance was constitutional and that similar programs are in place in other cities and had been unheld in other courts.
The trial, which began on Jan. 27, was postponed until April in order for both sides to develop their arguments, Corliss said.
One issue raised in the trial was the responsibility for the ban's enforcement.
The ordinance states that the city fire chief is responsible for enforcing the smoking ban. But the law also provides

As a smoker, I support him, because it doesn't make sense that the bar should be the ones fined and not the patron who is smoking," Steve said.

University policy bans on-campus ticket scalping
BY ROSS FITCH AND JOHHUA BICKEL
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
People trying to earn extra cash by selling tickets on game days near Allen Fieldhouse have a problem. They no longer can sell them on campus.
KU Athletics staff will walk around Allen Fieldhouse, and the surrounding campus areas this weekend. If staff members see someone selling tickets, they will inform
them of the policy and ask them to leave. If those people continue to sell the tickets after being warned, the staff will then call the KU Public Safety Office.
Those caught scalping could be charged with criminal trespassing, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
For the last six men's home basketball games, the Athletics Department has enforced a University of Kansas no-solicitation policy that forbids commercial sales, including the resale of tickets, on campus. The enforcement came after the department received numerous complaints of ticket sellers harassing fans.
After that, it's off to the Douglas County Municipal Court to pursue further action against the offender.
The KU Public Safety Office will not patrol the area for Saturday's game against Colorado anymore than it already does, Bailey said. He also said that the office didn't expect problems with the resale of tickets on campus this weekend.
TICKET PRICES
The face value for general admission tickets is $40,
$10 for student tickets,
and $5 for student tickets that were purchased as part of a all-sports package.
Here's a list of what some professional ticket brokers are charging for tickets to the Colorado game this weekend:
Ebay: between $50 and $150 (general admission); $10 to $15 (student)
♦ greattickets.com: $155
(corner seats); $240
(baseline)
♦ goldentickets.com: $160
(corner seats); $250
(baseline)
♦ tickco.com: $160 (corner
sentel): $245 (baseline)
- coasttocoasttickets.com:
  $170 (corner seats);
  $265 (baseline)
♦ Ace Sports & Tickets:
$50 and up (all seats)
Source: Ticket Web sites
"We expect everyone to know the policy and comply with it," Bailey said. "I don't think it's going to be a huge problem."
The KU Public Safety Office hasn't had to remove anyone from campus for ticket solicitation so far, Bailey said.
Marchiony agreed that the situation would not pose a big problem, but thought that ticket solicitation would still occur to some degree.
"We'd hope for 100-percent compliance," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, "but I'm sure that won't quite happen."
Another option for people looking for tickets is to buy them from a professional ticket broker, such as Ace Sports and Tickets, 647 Massachusetts St.

Wind ensemble invited to Chinese festival
Members of the KU Wind Ensemble will have an opportunity to play in China for more than 30 nations and an audience of more than 20,000 people this summer.
The wind ensemble, a group of 66 of the top musicians at the University of Kansas, will travel to China on May 23 for

After the performance, delegates from the festival approached John Lynch, wind ensemble director, about coming to China.
"I think it's an amazing opportunity for these students," Lynch said. "It's also an opportunity for our University to be showcased on an international stage."
It will also include two solo performances by KU faculty members: Vince Gnojek, professor of saxophone, and David
Dedele, professor of flute.

written by Zacharia Goh, a KU alumnus who now lives in Southeast Asia.
But the wind ensemble can't go unless it raises $105,000 to cover expenses — and that's only half. The Chinese government will pay for the other half.
And now, the wind ensemble has all but $18.000.
The group has already received donations, including a $5,000 donation from
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's office.
Wednesday night, the wind ensemble asked the Student Senate committees for $10,000. The amount will be confirmed if the full Senate passes the bill next week.
If the Senate donation is approved, the wind ensemble has only $8,000 keeping it from traveling to China.

Editor's Notes
I've always been afraid of jewels. Don't get me wrong, I love jewelry—cheap costume jewelry. Jewels, on the other hand are so small, expensive and irreplaceable. With my record for losing precious items, I have avoided them. My parents bought me a necklace with a diamond stud pendant for my 18th birthday and I didn't wear it for three years.
My friend Lindsey, however, loves anything extravagant, most of all jewels. She and I being at the opposite end of the financial spectrum, she has a hefty collection. She is the girl who goes to the mall just to browse the jewelry store and pick out her engagement ring, even though she's not actually dating anyone. At the beginning of the fall semester she came running up to me before class to show me her latest acquisition, a white gold band with a large square diamond that she was wearing on her right hand. She said she had always pictured herself engaged by this point in her life, and she was tired of waiting for a ring so she (read: her father) bought one for herself.
Right-hand diamonds are becoming more popular, as Dani Litt and Carla Woody examine in "Single and Sparkling" on page 13. Single women who are "tired of waiting for a ring" are making the big purchases themselves. The Diamond Trading Company, spent about 28 percent of its advertising dollars on the diamond right-hand rings in 2004 according to its Diamond Promotion Service Web site. Even married celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Debra Messing and Julia Roberts have been spotted with the finger candy. And with Catwoman telling independent, savvy, successful women to

Pets, roommates and your own hamper can leave your house smelling not so fresh. But before spend your hard-earned cash on room deodorizers and carpet cleaners, try using what's already in your kitchen. Baking soda is great at absorbing odors. Sprinkle some on the carpet, let it sit and vacuum it up. If you don't know where the odor is coming from, fill a few saucers with vinegar and set them around your house. The vinegar absorbs odors in the air. For smelly wastebaskets or hampers throw in a dryer sheet and the sweaty-feet smell will "bounce."

You wake up every day at 8:50 a.m.—for your 9 a.m. class. You barely have time to get dressed, but when it comes to your shoes you you're too groggy to think about getting "the bunny around the tree." Instead of replacing all of your shoes with flip-flops, consider another option. Relace your shoes so you can slide them on.
1. Unlace your shoes, leaving the laces in the bottom two holes. Pull on one side until it's at least three times as long as the other side.
2. Tie a knot in the lace on the inside of the shoe so the lace cannot pass through the hole. Place the length of the short side under the insole.
3. Pull the long side of the lace up through the next hole up and then down into the hole straight across.
4. Continue lacing the shoe with that pattern, placing your foot in the shoe about a third of the way through the process. Tighten the lace for the fit you want.
5. When you get to the last hole, tie a knot in the lace on the inside of the shoe to keep the lace from coming out. This will keep the laces from loosening. Tuck the remainder of the long side into your shoe.

Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell By Amy Sohn
Is it all about love, sex or just dressing to impress? Sex and the City may have aired its last season but never let its legacy die. The spirit of Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) advice column, Samantha's (Kim Catttrall) exciting sex life, Charlotte's (Kristin Davis) optimistic views on marriage and Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) cynical view on men live on in the Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell book. This hot-pink faux alligator cover is a bible in disguise for fans wanting to delve into the show's most intimate secrets.
The book provides insightful love
advice from each of the characters as well as fun side bars such as "The Rules," by Charlotte York. It is an all encompassing guide to the show's premise, photo galleries and biographies of the cast members, episode summaries, and oh so much more.
And what better than to mesh love and sex advice with a fashion guide including names like Manolo Blahnik. Not to mention, this book includes every outfit even worn by Parker. So ladies, get your men with style.

When Emily Harper, Kansas City, Mo., freshman got her car three years ago, she and her girlfriends celebrated by cruising around. Cruising turned into flirting when they pulled up next to a car full of guys. Harper says her friends started yelling at the guys, and both cars agreed to pull over into a nearby parking lot. Harper gave her number to one of the guys, Nick Donnell, University of Kansas Medical Center junior. He called her that night and asked her out on a date. Three years later, they are still together.

Brandon Snook was on his way up in the opera world when disaster struck - puberty. In 1995, when Snook was only in seventh grade, he got the title role in a production of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" with a professional opera company in Dallas. After two months of rehearsals, he woke up the day after opening night with a
squeaky changing voice and a sinking feeling in his stomach. He struggled to control his hormonally-charged voice during the show's run, and when he could finally let go, he went from boy soprano to tenor overnight.
soprano or tenor over a guitar. Snook, Dallas senior, is one student among about 560 in the University's School of Fine Arts, which includes the departments of art, design, and music and dance. But there are only 40 undergraduate vocal performance majors. John Stephens, director of the department of music and dance's voice division, says about 100 students each year audition to become vocal performance majors and only 12 are accepted into the program. The program accepts so few students because there are only four full-time voice teachers to train them, not because the talent of those auditioning is limited. He says the school sees a huge amount of talent during auditions from all over the United States and other countries.
countries.
"We end up taking the top of the top," Stephens says.
Once accepted, students in the program follow a rigorous schedule of classes to graduate. Snook says some people tease him about never having homework because he's studying music. But in addition to basic education requirements such as English, Western Civilization and foreign language, performance majors take voice lessons, music history, music theory, diction and perform in productions outside their classes. Many students struggle to graduate within four years.
date within four years.
"A lot of people don't think it's hard," Snook says. "Music is half talent and half work, though. And once you get here, everyone has the talent - so it's all work."
One of the biggest differences between vocal performance majors and other students is the lifestyle adjustments associated with singing full time. Stephens says that most students can still write papers when they're under the weather, but singers who get colds and lose their voices can get in big trouble academically. On weekends when other students are going out to the bars, Snook says he has to constantly check himself, even though he loves to party. Screaming over a bar crowd or drinking too much beer can affect his performance the next day. It's easy enough to take a test with a hangover, but performing well after a long night out is another story. During vocal juries, when performance students are judged on their vocal progress for the semester, a bad night out can mean a failing grade.
night out can mean a dining hall. "What people don't realize is that there actually is kind of a science—an art—to singing," Snook says.
-to singing, Snook is in his last semester at the University,
Snook is enrolled in 20 hours of classes,
auditioning for graduate schools and performing in two shows before graduating. He gets to campus at 8:30 in the morning and doesn't leave Murphy Hall until as late as midnight on his busiest days. His rehearsals for "Cosi fan Tutte," which opened on Jan. 28, lasted until midnight or later with only a short break for dinner. He has had fewer classes outside Murphy every semester, and as a senior has all music classes and spends all his class time in the same building. But Snook says he tries to avoid being one of those music students who spends every waking hour in Murphy. He's a fourth-generation Jayhawk and says he hates the thought of being on such a great campus and never getting to see it.
great campus and never leaves Whether it's walking up to Wescoe Beach just to pick up the day's fliers and read the paper or going into Watson Library to pretend he actually has a reason to check out books, he says he tries to walk up the Hill every day just to say he's done it.
he's done it.
When he graduates in May, Snook says he plans to join the majority of vocal performance majors who enroll in graduate schools to make professional connections and finish their training. After that, he'll hit the job market like any other graduate and look for a job in opera and maybe musical theater. He says he has a good chance of succeeding because good tenors are in such high demand. But after fighting puberty to be the best performer he could be, chances are he can cope with any challenge that comes his way.

Sip a brew you never knew
Growing up with parents from Bangladesh, good tea is something I'm familiar with, or so I thought. The tea I knew as a young girl was always made the same way: boiled water, a Lipton's tea bag, a little milk, and a lot of sugar. Like most people I know, probably the most exotic tea I've ever tried is green tea. To become a tea connoisseur, however, exploring beyond Lipton's territory is a must. But who goes exploring without a map? Here is a breakdown of the different types of teas, from the most well-known kinds you sip in coffee shops, to stranger varieties, which require chewing as well as sipping.
By Maha Masud, Jayplay writer
A casual stroll down the tea aisle in any grocery store will probably greet you with
a panoply of colorful boxes and words such as English Breakfast, Ceylon and Darjeeling, making you wonder what country you are actually in. Grocery stores tend to carry teas that are most familiar to people, such as black, green and herbal tea. The most commonly consumed is black tea, which is completely oxidized, and includes Earl Grey, English Breakfast, orange peeko, Darjeeling among others. Green tea is the kind often consumed for the health benefits of its antioxidants. Usually on a shelf close to the green teas are the herbal teas, such as chamomile, which are usually infused with herbs and fruit extracts. Another popular category of tea is chai and it's found in many coffee shops. It is usually
made with black tea, milk and spices including black pepper, cloves and cardamom. My friend Surabhi Drona, who also grew up drinking tea, and describes herself as a "tea-aholic," says the term "chai tea" is a bit of a misnomer. The Dubai, United Emirates senior, says the word chai actually means "tea," so saying "chai tea" is redundant. Going a day without drinking at least a cup of tea is usually not an option for Drona, who enjoys anything from Earl Grey to ginger tea. She prides herself on exploring beyond grocery store and coffee shop teas and recommends trying more exotic varieties such as oolong and bubble tea.
For centuries, oolong tea has bee grown mainly in China and Japan, and is

related to green tea. Fanny Shiau is a specialist at House of Chá, 21 W. Ninth St., which sells only varieties of green and oolong tea. Shiau says the difference between green, oolong and black tea is the amount of oxidation, the process of oxygen coming into contact with the leaves' enzymes. The less oxidized the tea, the more antioxidants it will have. Shiau says green and oolong teas retain more healthy antioxidants than black tea and can aid in body detoxification and lead to better skin. Oolong's health benefits fall between green and black tea. Just as there are different kinds of beer, oolong tea also varies in color and flavor. Its characteristics depend on the altitude it is grown in; the darker-colored oolong is stronger and more citrus-like in flavor than a lighter oolong.
If you want to try a tea that forces you outside your back of knowledge, try
bubble tea, also known as boba tea. This recent innovation originated in Taiwan in the 1980s, according to the Bubble Tea Supply Web site. The site says tea stands in front of schools began adding fruit flavoring to their tea before shaking it up, creating bubbles. Chien Cai works at Pochi Tea Station, which specializes in bubble tea. Cai says that the bubbles are made with tapioca pearls, which are little tasteless gummy spheres made from tapioca powder. A variety of green tea is usually the base, and flavored syrups are added along with the pearls. The sweet, fruity and floral concoction is then served cold with a fat straw to suck up every chewy "bubble." It's a satisfying combination of texture and sweetness.
With all the varieties available to sample, there's no reason for tea drinkers to limit themselves to any one kind. These teas aren't your mama's cup of chai.
...
House of Cha's relaxing environment provides an excellent study spot for students. Customers can choose from a wide variety of tees with or without tapoica pearls.

Sammy Lovgren
Manhattan
junior
Q: What was your first car?
Page: My first car was a 1988 Chevy S-10 with no power steering or air conditioning, so needless to say, I didn't work out too good in Kansas. Lovgren: It was a Ford Taurus, I think a '91 or a '90.
Q: What was your first job?
Page. My first job was working in a bowling center—go figure. I worked at Sunset Bowling in San Diego, Calif.
Lovgren: My first job was a lifeguard for the city of Manhattan.
Q: What is your favorite college movie?
Page: That's a tough one. Old School.
Lovgreen: I guess Animal House was pretty good.
Q: What's the farthest from home you've ever been?
Page: Thailand. I traveled there with Junior Team USA to bowl in the International Tournament.
Lovgren: Chile. Santiago – yeah,
that's probably the farthest I've ever been at this point.
Q: What's your dream job?
**Page:** Being on the professional bowlet tour and taking a stable living, and getting to reach out to kids. I love working with kids, and if I could be a mentor/coach to a lot of kids and help kids out through bowling, that'd be the dream job. But if bowling doesn't work out, I'm still going to be a junior high math teacher, so I'll still get to work with kids anyways.
Lovgran: My dream job would be to travel all over the world and get paid for it. I don't know what kind of a job that is, but maybe a flight attendant or something.

Q
Extra special Valentine's Day edition
I want to break up with my girlfriend, but Valentine's Day is coming up. Should I break things off before so she'll have a crappy Valentine's or should I wait until after?
a
-Todd, freshman
Chris: It all depends on how big of a dick you want to be. Waiting till after V-day to spare her feelings is a nice thought, but a bad idea. Put yourself in her shoes. How would you feel spending Valentines with your GF and later finding out she'd been planning on dumping you the whole time? Not good. You two are better off alone than together living a lie. Plus you'll end up saving money by not giving her a gift. Jerk.
Jessi: Chances are if you're faking it, Valentine's is going to be craptastic either way, so why not let her go now so she can be free from an a-hole like yourself and get on with finding a keeper who plans on keeping her.
Q
Are either of you currently dating anyone?
-Sarah, junior
a
Jessi: Yes, I am. He has a sweet bike. And he's really good at hooking up with chicks, (which is why he got me.) Plus, he's like the only guy at school who has a mustache.
**Chris:** Girls only want guys that have skills. So...no. But I am currently taking applications.
Q
I'm a virgin and am waiting till marriage, but I want to go down on this guy I'm dating, and I don't want him to think that I'll have intercourse with him later on. How should I do this?
-Mandy, sophomore
a
Jessi: First, update him on your sexual history if he doesn't know already. Second, reevaluate your reasons for wanting to do it. Do you want to because you know he's expecting it and you don't want him thinking you're a prudge? Or are you doing this because you genuinely care for him? You'd be giving up a big part of yourself, so make sure it's right for both of you.
**Chris:** Just say, "Hey, I'm a virgin. I'll be a virgin on my wedding day. But I like to give head and as long as you reciprocate this should work out fine." He'll be surprised at your candor, but very turned on.
Q
So what's your favorite thing to do?
James, freshman
Chris: So you need some advice, huh. Okay, oh wait, you're not asking for advice? What are you , just some punk kid that gets his kicks from wasting people's time with stupid questions!? Effing punks.* Jessi: Ooh! It's a toss-up between whitening my teeth or taking candid photos of unsuspecting nose-picking victims not privy to my plans of deceit. I also like eating Jimmy John's day-old bread on Tuesdays.
Q a
a
Is there a policy on sending a guy flowers? I want to do something cute, but out of the ordinary. What do you think?
Jane, freshman
Chris: Policies! Geez, everyone always asks if there are policies for this or that. There aren't policies for this kind of stuff, people! There are good and bad ways of doing everything. But I think it's a fun idea. I think most guys will tell you that deep down - way down - they would love to be given flowers. Or not. But there are a few things to remember. Wherever you're sending them, make sure the card is in an envelope with his name on it. It'd be embarrassing for a co-worker or roommate to read whatever BS you've got written on the card. And don't send a huge bouquet; instead go with a simple vase filled with one kind of flower. And sunflowers would be more appropriate than pansies - for obvious reasons.
Jessi: Chris is right. Let us unite to burn all the rulebooks dedicated to policies in love and romance because, (let's say it together) "it's different for everyone." Some guys like sushi - some don't. Some guys like PDA - some don't. Some guys like girls jello wrestling - some .. well ok. That's ONE exception. But some guys love flowers. Some don't. Use your intuition to decide if you think flowers are on this guy's romantic fantasy wish list. Still not sure? Ask his friends what they think he'd like.
Q
My boyfriend is broke, and I told him I didn't want him to take me out on Valentine's Day because I'd rather him save money for what he really needs and not waste it on me. He's being really stubborn and insists that he's taking me out anyway. Should I refuse?
a
-Lucy, sophomore
Chris: There is probably tons of macho BS behind your boyfriend's actions. Society tells us that men should be providers. And the thing they've got to provide is money. And lots of it. So it's no wonder that he wants to take you out for St. Valentine's Day. Because that's what guys are supposed to do. How else would people celebrate this pivotal holiday? Happy February 14th! I mean it's on a Monday! But I would refuse. You're been incredibly thoughtful to recognize that taking you out for St. Hallmark's Day is not in his best interest. There are plenty of guys in his boat and plenty of selfish girls that won't be as considerate as you. He should be grateful to be with someone as caring as you.
Jessi! Let the man take you out on one condition: you choose where you go and what you do. Girls are always complaining about how guys never quite measure up to the fairy tale, so why not let him show you how much he cares? And in reference to Chris' macho theory, do whatever works for you two regardless of societal pressures. If he likes to pay and you're down with that, then that's fine. If you take turns paying, then that's fine, too. If you're paying all the time, make sure you're not dating a deadbeat. I have yet to hear of a female paying most of the time.
Q
My boyfriend and I want to go out to dinner for Valentine's Day,but I'm worried two men eating together in a restaurant on V-day will raise too many eyebrows. Am I being too paranoid? lash junior
a
Jessi: Yes, I think you're being paranoid. What would the world be like if everyone worried about what everyone else thought of their love-life? So long as you're not flaunting your sexuality (homo- or hetero-) in peoples' faces, you should be more concerned with that food allergy than whether the table next to you thinks you're gay. If you're so paranoid you won't have a good time, what's the hurt in staying in and cooking a meal together?
Chris: I mean it is a Monday! Your experience would definitely vary depending on what restaurant y'all choose. In some restaurants a certain level of romance is assumed. But honestly, I think it would raise a few eyebrows. It's sad that that's the case, but that's what I think. However, being in Lawrence, a socially progressive and politically liberal town, there would be fewer furrowed brows than if you two went out in say, Crawford, Texas.

Right-hand rings gain popularity among unmarried women and give new married to "the solitaire."
Single and
Christina Elam did not have a particular item in mind when she walked into the jewelry store on a casual shopping spree. The Kansas City, Mo., real estate agent had been ignored in the previous store she visited because she was wearing jeans and tennis shoes. But in this jewelry store, the saleswoman offered to take some rings out to show her.
Once the saleswoman pulled a threeband, white gold, diamond ring from the case, Elam says she had to have it. "I didn't have the intention of buying a big ticket item," she says. "It wasn't in my price range at all."
Elam says because she had a good month of sales at her job, she decided to purchase the ring for herself. She bought the ring specifically to wear on her right hand.

supplier of diamonds in the world. In September 2003, DTC launched a new campaign aimed at successful, single women with the phrase "Raise Your Right Hand."
The campaign targeted women who were not in love and who were looking for a way to express their independence and success. The diamond right-hand ring entered the market and became the hot item among celebrities. In turn, the celebrities influenced single, wealthy businesswomen to purchase a ring for themselves.
According to a report put out by the Diamond Promotion Service, a branch of advertising company J. Walter Thompson, after four months on the market, the diamond right-hand ring contributed 6 percent to the growth of the non-bridal market. On the coasts, 4.9 million of these rings were sold, halting a five-year decline of ring sales and a 9 percent increase in right-hand ring sales occurred in the first half of 2004.
The Local Trend
Mark Hurst, owner of Hurst's Fine Diamonds, chose to advertise the right-hand ring using the ads put out by the DPS and the DTC. He says that although the trend took the coasts by storm, it has yet to hit the Midwest.
Other jewelers say they agree with Hurst that the trend has yet to catch on here.
Krystyn Renfro, a sales associate at Goldmaker's Jewelry, says the store's sales have not changed since the start of the campaign.
"Women come into the store once or twice a week looking to buy a ring for themselves," she says. "When you compare that to the five couples a week who come in to purchase engagement rings, it's not very much."
What Is A Right-Hand Ring?
A right-hand ring has specific criteria
according to a report put out by the DPS. It requires at least one diamond of .20 karats or more with space between the diamonds and the metal. Furthermore, the jewels must run in a north to south direction. The DPS say the ring is supposed to express one's individuality and should not resemble an engagement ring, anniversary ring or wedding band.
The ring can contain all the same shaped diamond cuts, whether it be princess, marquee, square or oval. However, a variety of different shapes can be incorporated.
Renfro and fellow co-worker Bernadette Zacharias say they think these specifications are too binding.
"We try not to pigeonhole our customers with terminology," Zacharias says. "We might sell rings that make women feel independent and successful, but we don't attach the name 'right-hand ring' to those particular pieces."
Right-hand rings vary in price range.
Hurst says the rings start at $199 and can run up to several thousand dollars.
"It depends — right-hand rings could cost the same as an engagement ring," Hurst says.
He says that because not everyone can afford a ring worth thousands of dollars, the DPS and DTC try to offer various price options.
Why Buy?
Most women who come in looking to buy a ring for themselves are hoping to show their independence and success, Hurst says.
Elam says she bought her ring because she is independent and successful, but for business reasons as well.
"I sell real estate," she says." And in this business, you are taken more seriously if you are married."

But Renrof disagrees with the idea that a ring should hold such value.

"I don't think a statement of independence depends on how much you spend," she says. "I think that it kind of backs women into a corner. I don't think that pushing merchandise on somebody qualifies them as a feminist. I'm not a big fan of the campaign."
What Goes Around Comes Around
Diamond-right-hand rings, as advertised by the DPS, may be a new trend, but women have purchased and worn rings on their right hands before 2003.
"Right-hand rings have been around for awhile," says Corey Clark, a sales representative at Mark's Jeweler's. "They have just been made with colored stones and it's been older women who have bought them."
Rich Yeakel, part owner of Mark's Jeweler's says the right-hand ring campaign is just a change of name. He compared the new ring-hand ring campaigns to diamond bracelets.
"Diamond bracelets had been around forever before they began to call them tennis bracelets," Yeakel says. "It's still a diamond bracer."
Renfro says she agrees this is not a new phenomenon. She says she finds it humorous that right-hand rings are being advertised as something new and original. In addition she noticed that the women coming into buy rings have been younger, career women.
"I like to refer to them as the Sex in the City demographic," she says. "These women are in their late 20s or early 30s, are college educated, successful, single and well dressed."
The ads by DPS restate this message. The ads contain a young, attractive woman, dressed in business clothes with a gleaming light coming from the ring finger of their right hand.
Will it hit big?
The jewelers agree that women will continue to purchase rings for themselves,but Yeakel, Renfro,and Zacharias say the trend will fail to catch on in Lawrence.
A report from DPS about the DTC says in 2004 the main goal of the organization was expanding its message to reach a larger audience. The DTC spent 28 percent of its advertising dollars on the right-hand rings campaign alone. According to an Ongoing Momentum Study by the DPS, awareness of right-hand rings among women grew from 25 percent to 39 percent in just 6 months from the start of the campaign. Hurst says he believes the trend will eventually move from the coasts into the Midwest as the advertisements become more prevalent.

The floral ring embodies tenderness and grace. Bob Powell, manager of Noble House Jewelry in Lawrence, says floral designs use stylized, leafy patterns. Because the design is more limited, the floral ring is not the best seller.

A thriving bar with a storied past is a melting pot for people and music in Lawrence.
The Gaslight is all right
Despite it's small housing, the Gaslight packs a lot of entertainment. Visitors can drink a beer on the porch or enjoy the music within.
GASLIGHT TAVERN
SAT MONTHLY
MIX TAPES
SUN DIRTY BOOGIE
By Chris Brown, Jayplay writer
On a crisp mid-winter Monday night in late January, a small bar dimly lit in sultry red and garnished with Far-Eastern decor invites an eclectic crowd in from the cold streets. At 11 p.m. here at the Gaslight Tavern and Coffeehouse—one of Lawrence's newest fixtures for live music—there's a handful of people seated at the small, L-shaped bar, some older, some younger, some dressed in tight jeans and vintage T-shirts, some dressed in corduroy pants and oversized hoodies. Regardless of age or appearance, patrons smile, laugh and relay stories about musical experiences of the past.
Explaining the reasons she makes it a point to be at the Gaslight almost every Monday night, twenty-something KU graduate student and Lawrence resident Hannah Treiling says she loves the music and the variety of people the bar brings in.
"The atmosphere is very laid-back here," Treiling says while sketching a tree on the bar with chalk just brought by bartender Melanie Coen. "Plus, puppies can come inside and I don't know where else they have Honker's [beer] on tap."
Honker's Ale on tap and chalk to draw on the bar are just two of the appetizers for the main course that is changing every night: the music. Coen lists punk, hip-hop, reggae, indie-rock and bluegrass as categories of music that can be heard regularly at the Gaslight.

As the clock strikes midnight, Lawrence barfles show up en masse and pack into this tiny bar, most likely the result of nearby Free State Brewery's last call. But there's an added draw besides booze: Tonight, as with every night at the Gaslight, there's live music. By 12:30, the place is packed, as patrons squeeze together in anticipation of the band that is about to play. A few minutes later, Jazz Chaos Theory—the featured band on this particular Monday night—strikes up its unique mix of psychedelic rock and acid jazz, and heads all around can be seen rhythmically bobbing to the beat.
This sort of eclectic and accepting atmosphere is what the Gaslight Coffeehouse and Tavern is known for around town. The bar shares this freewheeling spirit with its namesake of the 1960s—the Gaslight Tavern—though the original Gaslight has no direct relation to the new one, says Doozie Midyett, music enthusiast and co-owner of the Gaslight.
Back in the 1960s, the Gaslight Tavern was a stronghold for left-leaning thinkers and revolutionaries. Melanie Coen, Lawrence resident and bartender at the Gaslight, says the bar, located where the Kansas Union parking garage now sits, was a place for revolutionaries to gather in that tumultuous era.
She says KU officials did not like the thought of revolutionary ideals being brought to the forefront of campus politics and even feared a radical uprising occurring on campus property. In
response to these fears, the University planned to bulldoze the bar in early 1973 but this plan never came to fruition because a group of regular Gaslight attendees burned down the place the night before it was due for demolition, Coen says.
Though people talk about music more than politics in the Gaslight Coffeehouse and Tavern, there's a vibrance to this place that at once pays respects to its conceptual counterpart of the '60s while carving out its own niche among social gathering spots in Lawrence.
"There's something magical about this place." Midyett says. "We've tried to create a different environment for people in Lawrence to hang out in and so far that is really working."
Midyett says that in the next year, plans are in the works to make customerfriendly improvements to the Gaslight, such as connecting the outdoor patio with the indoor bar area by adding a window to the north side of the building. A sake machine, an espresso machine and an expansion of the patio are other additions to look for in 2005, she says.
The Gaslight is located just over the river, nestled between an antique store and Johnny's Tavern.

Zombie
Similar to its ghastly name, the Zombie claims to have unusual connections with the spirit world. There are a few legends about how the Zombie was first created, but since Valentine's Day is only four days away, I'll stick with the twisted romantic version.
Charles Baker brought this drink back from his stay in Haiti, a country known for voodoo religion. Baker believed that by drinking this cocktail, the spirits were put to work as amorous slaves, but the
cocktail cause tior n
cocktail's potency caused disorientation and hallucinations for the drinker. Test it out for yourselves, but Baker recommends drinking only one Zombie every three weeks.
Here is the best known recipe for the drink which was brought to the U.S. in 1933.
1 1/2 oz. dark rum
3/4 oz. Jamaica rum
(golden rum)
3/4 oz. light rum
1 oz. lime juice
3/4 oz. papaya juice
3/4 oz. pineapple juice

Shake ingredients and strain into a chilled pint glass. Add a maraschino cherry as garnish. Float 1/2 ounce of Bacardi 151 (pour it over a spoon just touching the top of the drink) and sprinkle 1 teaspoon powdered sugar on top.

Jazz Mandolin Project
Jamie Masefield: mandolins,
Scott Ritchie: upright bass,
MadDog: trumpet and keys,
Mark Guiliana: drums and percussion
Jazz played with a mandolin? Now there's a novel idea. Enter Jazz Mandolin Project, a rotating cast of musicians headed by ringleader and classically-trained mandolin player Jamie Masefield. For the last 11 years, the Burlington, Vt. band has played its own innovative style of mandolin-driven jazz with a flair for improvisation. Citing influences that range from Beethoven to Neil Young, Masefield says jazz should take people by surprise and his mission with JMP is to put something out there that does just that. Suffice it to say, the music of Jazz Mandolin Project is one-of-a-kind. Catch Jazz Mandolin Project when the band comes to town to play at the Bottleneck on Sunday.
Jayplay writer Chris Brown chats with mandolin player Jamie Masefield about Lawrence music culture, composing music in sections and maple syrup.
Somewhere through the grapevine, I heard that Lawrence is one of your favorite places to play. Is this true and if it is, why?
That's true and when people ask me why, I tell them "you'd be surprised—it's a great cultural mecca out in wheatfields." Our gigs have been consistently good for 11 years in Lawrence. The audience in Lawrence is a bunch of great listeners and we always feel an appreciation from the crowd. The short version of all this is that I've never had a bad gig in Lawrence.
How would you describe Jazz Mandolin Project's music to someone who's never heard your music before?
When I know that someone is in our crowd that hasn't seen or heard JMP before, I'll ask them after the show, "What were you expecting?" and they'll generally tell me "It was nothing like I was expecting it to be." One of my favorite quotes is "Jazz is the sound of surprise." I like the idea of jazz taking you by surprise and one of my goals with JMP is to put something out there that's different.
You have a varied background in many different styles of mandolin playing, from dixie music to classical mandolin playing. How does your varied musical background contribute to the current sound of JMP?
I started playing music on tenor banjo, New Orleans jazz-style, tuned in fifths like the violin. So I'm not like most mandolin players in that I don't have a bluegrass background and a lot of the chords I use are different than bluegrass chords or progressions.
You mentioned I have a classical background and the thing that appeals to me about classical music is its ability to move mountains—you listen to Beethoven's 5th Movement and it is so powerful. With JMP, I try to get some of that stuff going over great grooves to really make the music stand out.
What's new with this first tour of 2005?
We did a new year's show in Burlington. We don't usually do new year's shows because I'm just not really a fan of them but when Phish stopped playing and the new Higher Ground (club) opened, it was a great opportunity. We also have some new tunes and new covers in our repertoire.
Yeah, I saw that you did a cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" on new years.
Yeah, we did that and we also played "Powderfinger," a Neil Young cover too. We also now do a string of Led Zeppelin tunes. You can't go wrong on a good Zeppelin tune.
In the past you've played with the likes of Jon Fishman, Doug Perkins and Chris Dahlgren. Is there a set lineup for JMP or does it just play out as a musicians' collective with you as the ringleader?
In the beginning when the band was just starting out in Burlington, it was anyone who wanted to come and play with me. At this stage, what it consists of is two or three or four drummers and bass players who all know the material and me working with their schedules. In jazz, everyone plays with everyone else; it's not like that garage band you started at 17 where the drummer leaves and the whole band breaks up.
I do, because the guys in the band don't live anywhere near me. The music is made in sections and the band learns the songs from collaborations right before we begin to tour and on the road.
Do you write all the music for the band?
Who are you listening to for inspiration right now?
I'm checking out Wilco right now and I just got into them last year. I'm a big Tom Waits and Neil Young fan as well and our new album addresses these influences.
You're from Vermont. What's your favorite "grade" of maple syrup?
"A" is the fancy stuff that people buy in jars and is thicker. "C" grade is a strong flavor but that's the good stuff.
Cooler Jamie: Jamie Foxx or Jamie Kennedy?
I don't know who Jamie Kennedy is and I barely know who Jamie Fox is.
That's OK, just figured I'd ask some stupid random question to give the readers a sense of your personality.
Well, we have this joke in the band that basically I'm considered Amish because I don't have any sense of pop culture and don't know what's going on on TV or anything. I'm really good at splitting wood though.

Million Dollar Baby (★★★)
PG-13, 132 minutes, South Wind 12
Clint Eastwood has succeeded in raising the bar yet again for people in the movie industry. This director, producer and actor blaze a trail that others dare not travel. Million Dollar Baby is an exceptional piece of art, and proves to viewers that a pair such as Eastwood and Swank is unbeatable in the boxing ring, as well as at the box office. Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor, Million Dollar Baby is sure to sweep a few Oscars along with the hearts of many.
Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) is a veteran boxing trainer that maintains a rough facade in order to hide feelings of guilt and shame. His dry, cynical humor wears away at audience members, and becomes somewhat of an endearing quality. He attempts to establish a relationship with his estranged daughter, while reluctantly training the novice, female boxer, Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank). She is powered by pure passion and determination to reach greater goals than her callous family cares to acknowledge.
Scrap (Morgan Freeman) is a washed-up boxer, and Frankie's official right-hand man. The two men poke fun at one another, creating an on-screen chemistry that cannot be replicated. The performances by these legendary actors are superb and undeniably Oscar-worthy.
Million Dollar Baby takes the audience on so many twists and turns, one would swear it is the furthest thing from a sports movie. Eastwood masterfully crafts unforgettable scenes with flawless lighting and riveting music that play on viewers' emotions. Swank's physique in the film was convincing, and downright jaw-dropping. She captured this gritty character with ease and admiration from the audience.
P
This movie is a heart-wrenching tale of strength and compassion to the greatest extent. It touches on several elements of life that cause viewers' to reconsider their stance on certain controversial subjects. Eastwood, Swank and Freeman bring absolute magic to the screen. Million Dollar Baby is a must-see.
The Wedding Date ( **星星** )
PG-13. 90 minutes
PG-13, 90 minutes
Pretty Woman is back, only this time in the form of a male hooker and 15 years later.
The Wedding Date is the story of Kat Ellis (Debra Messing), a woman living in New York, who receives the news of her step-sister's wedding. She has only one small problem — she does not have a date and her ex-boyfriend, who broke her heart terribly, is invited. Ellis' solution to this problem: Hiring a male escort (Dermot Mulroney).
The plot follows what is expected of every romantic comedy. Love, hate, reconciliation, revealed secrets, etc. Nothing too deep or complicated.
Neither was it complicated for Messing, well known for playing Grace in the TV-comedy "Will and Grace," to fall into the role of Ellis. As far as Messing's costar, Mulroney plays a hooker with the heart of gold, making every woman sigh
when saying an incredibly romantic line.
The film follows every cliché of a chick flick but it is still entertaining. Close to Valentines Day, many couples or singles are longing for more romance in their lives. Something that this film contains in giant doses.
The Wedding Date isn't playing in Lawrence just yet. It's up to you to decide if this film is worth driving to Kansas City to watch.

Sideways
(⭐⭐⭐)
R, 123 minutes, Liberty Hall
Was there a bigger snub this Oscar season than Paul Giamatti? Much has been made of the fact that Giamatti did not receive an Academy Award nomination for best actor for his work in this film. It's an astonishing oversight, given that Sideways was honored with five nominations, and Giamatti is the driving force behind the entire film. His acting resonates throughout the movie and gives it an emotional restraint that allows the other characters to indulge in their respective quirks.
Director Alexander Payne (About Schmidt, Election) has come close to making a great movie before, but his works were always undermined by the fact that the people in his films read more like caricatures than characters. However, Giamatti is able to breath life into his role, and is so convincing as Miles Raymond, that all the other zany inhabitants
of this world play off of him as foils to his neuroses.
The movie's plot centers around a trip that Miles and his friend Jack take to Northern California. Former TV star Thomas Haden Church plays Jack, who, surprise, is a former TV star. Jack is about to get married, but his doubts about settling down quickly derail the trip. As Jack enters into one haphazard relationship after the next, Miles tries to curb his friend's recklessness, but is dolefully unequipped to provide any sort of calming influence. Miles' problems are compounded when he falls in love with a local waitress (Virginia Madsen).
All of the acting in this film is superb, but it's Giamatti, who is in nearly every frame, that makes this movie work. He is so naturalistic as Miles, that even the most jaded viewer will soon forget that they're watching a fictitious character. His work in this film has elevated Sideways into an Oscar contender. Too bad the Oscars didn't return the favor.

Although he doesn't flinch from showing limbs shot off, friends blown up and countless other sorts of carnage from the first world war, the director Jean-Pierre Jeunet uses too light of a touch to let the violence overpower the audience's sympathy.
The movie follows the search of a widow named Mathilde (Audrey Tautou) for her fiancé Manech (Gaspard Ulliel), who was killed under mysterious circumstances on the western front. A dying officer tells her that her husband and four others were executed for self-mutilation by being thrown from a trench into no man's land.
Jeunet shows the mystery unfolding and re-folding by cutting to flashbacks and expositions at the slightest mention of past events. There are no summations or reviews to help catalogue this mountain of information. It's refreshing that the director and the screenwriter, Guillaume Laurant, think highly enough of the audience not to muddle their intricate story by baldly explaining it or dumbing it down.
Besides Jeunet's trademark loopiness ("She played tuba because it was the only instrument capable of distress calls." Engagement draws much of its strength from Mathilde's resolve. Her search is not popular, and Tautou deftly shows a woman using pity, luck and tenacity, sometimes at the expense of those who love her, to find the only thing she wants.

Bob Ward
The first 10 minutes of A Very Long Engagement, the French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet's big-budget follow-up to Amélie, capture the horrors of trench warfare better than any World War I movie since 1930's All Quiet on the Western Front. Jeunet, a movie magician who blends computer graphics and live action into a heightened cinematic reality, creates a vivid opening sequence reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan.
Amélie's Audrey Tautou plays Mathilde, the film's plucky, faithful heroine. Stricken with polio as a child, Mathilde befriends and falls in love with Manech (Strayed's Gaspard Ulliel), the son of the town's lighthouse keeper.
In the war, Manech is rounded up with four other soldiers and charged with selfmutilation - an offense punishable by death. Mathilde refuses to believe
Then, without warning, the director pulls us into Amélie country to introduce an eccentric cast of characters. It's a jarring transition from which the movie never fully recovers.
Manech has been killed, so she embarks on a years-long search for her intended with the help of a private detective.
Fans of Amélie will recognize Jeunet's bizarre character touches, such as the shopkeeper with the perfectly articulate wooden hand. But they should be forewarned that Engagement is a graphically violent film with a subplot about a diabolically clever, homicidal war bride.
Tautou and Ulliel are sweet, doe-eyed young actors rippling with oceans of dramatic feeling. But the film, which features a sexy cameo appearance by Jodie Foster, unsuccessfully melds battlefield realism with romantic whimsy. The director's narrative choices – such as placing a key flashback about Mathilde and Maneche's romance halfway through the movie – often blunt the story's emotional impact.
I'm in the minority on this one, but I think Jeunet has betrayed his artistic impulse to make a darker, more harrowing antiwar film. He just can't seem to break away from the Amélie magic.

The Mars Volta Frances the Mute
Frances the Mute offers up some post-Mardi Gras, slip on your dancing shoes, get out into the street, strip your clothes off and shake what God gave you type of rock' n' roll music. Cedric (vocals) and Omar (guitarist/producer) are flinging all kinds of nasty on this five track, 75-minute unabridged tirade.
These dudes are completely cracked out and not afraid to flaunt it, going full tilt with more complicated and varied instrumentation than ever before on this, their second full length offering. Releasing a concept album on a major label is always a major risk, but The Mars Volta refused to be contained. Cedric is spittin' some serious game in Espanol while break-dancing in his high-heels as Omar slips in enough
toxic guitar solos that'll make your little brother bow down and sell his guitar in shame.
Each song has several titled "movements" within it to break up the hysteria, which gives the album a compositional structure that's both intricate and natural. The final track, a 31-minute mountain, features some spoken-word commentary by a voice oddly similar to Tom Waits to build momentum toward the middle. But the song sort of falls asleep on itself as The Volta attempts an unsuccessfully avant garde interruption. Eventually, we're rescued by a new movement, and the final three minutes are a glorious resurrection of where the album began.
Patience is key with Frances; at times feeling like musical foreplay, but well worth the wait for the ensuing explosions.

THE DOCUMENTARY
PARENTAL ADVISORY
EXPIRITY CONTENT
The Game
The Documentary
Jayceon 'Chuck' Taylor AKA 'The Game' released his debut album last week amid hype that is more accustomed to rumors regarding Jay-Z's return dr an NWA reunion. NWA played a protagonist role in the insurgence of West Coast Gangster Rap in the 80s and 25 year-old Game has every intention of leading the revival in 2005. Inked with a large NWA tattoo on his chest, raised in Compton and signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath record label he was well on his way before he had even recorded a track. Thankfully, however,
The Documentary lives up to its expectations without the need to over-publicize the fact that he was shot 4 times.
Although perhaps not quite, "Ready to Die, Reasonable Doubt and Doggystyle in one," as he proclaims on the Kanye West produced track, "Dreams", the album is well worthy of the media hype. Tracks like the hit single, "How We Do," and "Higher'have Dre's sought-after production stamp clear for all to hear, while the closing track featuring Busta Rhymes, "Like Father, Like Son," is a masterful narrative of the day his child was born.
Because of Dre's production the beats speak for themselves and so the factor that must be analyzed is the actual rapping; Game's flow is tight and smooth, but subject matter is lacking. Like most rappers, it's guns, drugs and cars. Difference is, few can spit the words and make them feel like bullets penetrating your eardrums.
The album went platinum in little over a week and a tour is supposedly in the pipeline. No doubt Jay-Z and NWA will be pulled out of retirement to fill the support slots.

M83 Before the Dawn Heals Us
M83 is named after the spiral galaxy Messier 83; which aptly describes their blend of space rock, synth pop, and Euro electron-
ica. The band is headed by Anthony Gonzalez of Antibes, France, and despite the heavily techno sound of the band; they really do play the music on actual instruments.
Their latest album Before the Dawn Heals Us creates a sonic landscape using synthesizers layered so thick you may need a knife, guitarso over processed that they sound like synthesizers, the ubiquitous driving beats with breaks so frequent you keep checking the CD for scratches (that's actually what the song is called), vocals ranging between spoken voice tracks (Car Chase Terror), repetitive lyrics that sound really deep to stoners ("My first vision was a bush growing down the river, and I couldn't stop crying"), and spacey choral mixes.
The album does take the listener on a fantastic voyage from mellow ambience to a robot orgy and then back again. The band really produced the shit out of this album and polished it until it shined. The overall feel is so meticulous that there isn't a note or beat out of place. Obviously, a lot a work was put into the album, but maybe not enough emotion or expressiveness for the listener to relate to.

Gamer Movie News
Halo fans were surprised this weekend as Microsoft announced the name of a screenwriter to develop a script based on the console-selling first-person shooter series.
Variety magazine reported that the script will be based on the story from the first two games and will be written by Alex Garland. Garland is famous for 2000's The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as the 2003 horror film 28 Days Later.
Although, Danny Boyle directed both movies his name has not been mentioned at all in the recent announcements
Bungie, who developed Halo and is owned by Microsoft, has been making sure that this is not a cash-in according to www.1up.com. With the history of terrible movies being made about good games there is obviously concern that Bungie's
hard work will be destroyed in a fast filming process and licensed merchandise fiasco.
To ensure the integrity of the project Microsoft plans on staying out of the film-making process and leaving it to the experts in Hollywood.
This news comes within several days of the release of Electronic Gaming Monthly's game of the year awards. In which 2004 was described as "The Year of the Game" with Halo 2 narrowly walking away with the very prestigious "Game-of-the-Year" award. "Narrowly" meaning only with one more vote than the controversial Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
GameCube
If you're behind on holiday gaming and still catching some of the best games from 2004, make sure to check out Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for GameCube. Take the cartoon cell-shaded world of Animal Crossing, the character stats-building backbone of the role-playing game genre, replace the serious and sometimes boring dialogue from Final Fantasy and substitute in classic characters of the Mario legacy and you are staring at a great game.
Darkness has engulfed the land and Princess Peach has disappeared and
Mario is the only one who can save her. Peach sends Mario a letter and treasure map just before she's taken hostage. Mario is forced to find the magical treasure below the city of Rogueport by reclaiming the Crystal Stars and rescue Peach.
Hardly a traditional RPG, the game's dialogue is rich with character and one is of its best attributes. The events and their dialogue are absurdly funny, but may go over the head of your younger brother. The turn-based battle sequences stand out as each attack and defense must be timed correctly by holding and releasing the joystick or other button sequences; the accuracy affects the amount of damage dealt. The added control during battles is a welcome change from the random missed attacks in other RPGs.
The Thousand-Year Door is very much a plot-driven game and should provide great entertainment for those interested in a great story. With a non-traditional approach to the genre and familiar characters from previous Mario games, The Thousand-Year Door will be right at home in any gamer's collection, standing tall against most other vanilla RPGs and like any good book, you will always be eager to see what's on the next page.

Playboy: The Mansion
Xbox, PS2, PC
Here's a terrible idea: take a game with a large female fan base (The Sims), throw in a franchise with an almost entirely male fan base (Playboy), and release a game that will have almost no fan base (Playboy: The Mansion).
— John Kary
The real problem with Playboy: The Mansion is that it gives players almost nothing to do. Within a few hours, most players will have seen pretty much everything the game has to offer. The game's mission mode gets dull and repetitive after the first few levels and the freeform mode does little to help the monotony. The business aspects of the game will keep some players interested, but the dull gameplay between issues will likely turn even the most die-hard digital entrepreneurs away.
That must have been Cyberlore Studios' thought process when they were designing this utterly inane game, where players take control of Playboy mastermind Hugh Hefner as he puts together his magazine empire, throws parties, has sex, and, well, not much else.
Even from a technical perspective, the game is subpar. The graphics are simplistic and cartoony, the frame rates are frequently choppy, and the game's Sims style voice-overs are annoying at best.
Also worth noting are the game's laugh

THE MANSION
able "sexual" situations. For a franchise that has always been on the forefront of the sexual revolution, the sex in this game is less "Playboy" and more "Doped Up Gymnastics With Clothes On".
There's really not much else to say about Playboy; The Mansion. There are better and cheaper ways of entertaining yourself. Save $50 and just spend an extra 10 minutes in the bathroom.

Leisure Suit Larry:
Magna Cum Laude
Xbox or PS2
Before reviewing this game I read several reviews, and none of them portrayed this game in a good light, but after I began playing it I realized why the other magazines hated this game - the reviewers weren't in college.
The game is based around a college guy going around campus trying to score with college girls. You, as Larry, accomplish this goal by playing a series of minigames such as, quarters, a DDR-like button timing game and a game where you guide your sperm through an obstacle course. It's hard to explain, but the games are really basic and don't take much practice to get the hang of.
The problem with the mini-games is that there are only a couple of them and after a while you will have done the same kind of game a dozen times. If you live in a dorm or a frat and you get bored with a game one of your friends can try. This game turned into a social event; sitting in my dorm room, laughing and eating Cheezits.
The game is funny and several sequences of events end with some hilarious moments of very adult humor. Although I would never suggest anyone actually buy the game, I would recommend they rent it. There is enough game to keep you occupied for a week. For those that rent it I have two pieces of advice.
The best way to play the quarters game is one handed while eating Cheez-its – trust me you'll never miss. The other piece of advice is to buy more loading screens from Nigel. I'd like to compliment the developers for making some "interesting" loading screens, but at the same time you have to look at one for 30 seconds every 45 seconds you play the game.

Engagement ring giveaway
Photo by Erin Droste Jessica Chase, Overland Park freshman and David Lemmon, Leewood sophomore have been dating for two years this month. They plan to go to the Plaza for Valentines weekend.
Together since high school, Stephanie Filardo's boyfriend flew her up to visit him for Thanksgiving in 2003. It was during this getaway while on a romantic walk that he proposed. He playfully threw her in the snow, pulled out the ring and popped the question. Her first response: "Ew, sparkly." Soon after came the yes he was hoping for. Unfortunately, a little over a year later, Filardo's ex-fiance broke off the engagement leaving her with a seven stone engagement ring. Most girls would either sell it or keep it for sentimental reasons. Not Filardo. Because she is superstitious, she says that selling the ring would doom whatever she purchased with the money. So instead, this particular Owensville, Mo., junior plans to give it away to a certain lucky Jayplay reader. It does require some work on your part, however. Interested parties should write an essay no longer than 400 words telling Filardo how you met your girlfriend, how long you have been dating and why you want to marry her. All essays are due to Filardo by February 17, 2005 and she will choose the best story. Winners will be announced in the March 4th issue of Jayplay. Please submit entries to ringstory@kansan.com. Please include a picture of you and your girlfriend if possible.

Prairie View
By Ashley Doyle, Jayplay writer
I've seen quite a few guys' bedrooms. Don't get excited. Rarely did one of those visits lead to anything
beyond kissing. But maybe something would have progressed if guys used any part of their brain while decorating their rooms.
Bottom line: There are just some things no sensible woman wants to see when going into your bedroom.
Sex may sell, but it won't get you a woman
The first thing I do when I go into a guy's bedroom is look at what's hanging from his walls. I'm searching the walls for one thing — sexist visuals. These say almost everything I need to know about the man. Whether it's a calendar, desktop photo, or actual poster — it doesn't matter; it shows a man's disrespect for women and his willingness to accept women as sex objects. I've heard two common excuses from guys about these basically naked women when I confront them: The "They've been up there for so long I don't even notice
them" and the "Well, I like women" lines. If you don't notice something on your wall or you don't know why it's still up there, put something you will appreciate on your walls. As for a man liking women — really? I think I could have figured that out when you invited me back to your place, but thank you for reaffirming it with posters that make me feel uncomfortable.
My ex used to have posters of Britney Spears everywhere, even one in his bathroom. I could not escape her. She was there when I woke up, when I brushed my teeth, when I was watching TV. No matter where I was in his place, she was staring at me. After confronting him about my discomfort, he took the four posters down. And even though I knew they were rolled up in his closet, I loved him more for understanding that respect for a real person in your life is more important than a meaningless photo on the wall of someone you don't actually know.
Bay of pigs
Bottom line: Choose tasteful posters. And just because a poster was free does not mean it had to go up on the wall. It was free for a reason — it's trash.
While a pile of clean clothes in the corner is better than a pile of dirty clothes in the corner, the best option is to pick up your room if there's a possibility of a date coming over. I know this sounds obvious, but there have been times a guy has invited me in advance to his house and when I got there his room was a mess. I'm sorry your mom's not here to clean your room anymore, but don't make me suffer because of it.
Also make sure your bathroom is clean. Nothing is more disgusting than having a shower that makes you want to wear flip-flops in it. Toilet stains also are another huge turnoff. It's obvious what everyone does in there; no one needs a visual.
Bottom line: Show her that she's worth at least 15 minutes of your time and pick up your bedroom and clean your damn toilet.
The stiff Kleenex
What pornographic magazines or videos you enjoy is your business, so don't advertise it. There is no reason videos and magazines need to be carelessly left by
your TV or in your bathroom. While you guys might think this is "normal male" behavior and all of your other guy friends are doing it, ask yourself how many of these guy friends actually have girlfriends or at least date steadily.
Ex-girlfriend shrines
Bottom line: If you walked into your date's room to discover a Playgirl and it would catch you off guard and possibly bother you, then don't have your dirty magazines on display either. Show some courtesy.
Pictures of you with your ex are perfectly OK; it shows part of your past and no one should take that away. What isn't OK is having your room revolve around them. If every picture frame has a photo of you and her, and you still have obvious memorabilia from your relationship on display, you are not ready to be dating again.
Bottom line: A couple photos of the ex around the room are OK, but don't make your date feel like a rebound.

Early class times cut

KANSAN STUDENT WRITER
Classes will be five minutes shorter starting spring 2006
The provost's office has good news for students. Classes won't begin at 7:30 a.m., anymore starting in the spring semester of 2006.
In order to improve space management on campus, the University of Kansas will reschedule class times to eliminate 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. classes.
The new class times are being implemented to make more effective use of classroom space.
Tuesday and Thursday lecture classes will also decrease five minutes per day. Currently, the total amount of class time per week, for Tuesday and Thursday classes is 160 minutes. With the new schedule, the total week class time will be reduced to 150 minutes for Tuesday and Thursday classes, which is the same as the total week class time for Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes.
The five minute decrease will give students more time between classes on Tuesday and Thursday.
All lecture classes will be 75 minutes each, Done Steele, vice
Under the new schedule, start times for Tuesday and Thursday classes will not be affected.

"I would rather not have a 7:30 a.m. class, but if I don't have a choice, then it is okay with me,"

Research revealed that classrooms were not used during the noon hour.

Bars' owner contests ban
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Steffes says ban is illegal, unfair
The city's smoking ban is being put to the legal test.
Dennis Steffes, the owner of Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., and Coyote's Night Club, 1003 E. 23rd St., is contesting five charges of violating the city's smoking ban in a Lawrence Municipal Court trial that may spur a reappraisal of the ordinance.
The city and Steffes' attorney are preparing arguments for trial, which is scheduled for April 15. Steffes' attorney, Billy Rork, said he expected the judge to make a decision on the constitutionality of the ordinance on that date.
Dennis Steffes, who owns both bars, said the smoking ordinance was unconstitutional because it conflicted with state laws that allowed smoking. He said it was the city's responsibility to enforce the ordinance, not the bar owners.
"How can we be held responsible for what the general public is doing," Steffes said. "That is the job of the fire department and law enforcement."
David Corliss, director of legal services for the city, said the ordinance was constitutional and that similar programs are in place in other cities and had been unheld in other courts.
The trial, which began on Jan. 27, was postponed until April in order for both sides to develop their arguments, Corliss said.
One issue raised in the trial was the responsibility for the ban's enforcement.
The ordinance states that the city fire chief is responsible for enforcing the smoking ban. But the law also provides

"As a smoker, I support him, because it doesn't make sense that the bar should be the ones fined and not the patron who is smoking," Steve said.

University policy bans on-campus ticket scalping
BY ROSS FITCH AND JOSHUA BICKEL
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
People trying to earn extra cash by selling tickets on game days near Allen Fieldhouse have a problem. They no longer can sell them on campus.
KU Athletics staff will walk around Allen Fieldhouse and the surrounding campus areas this weekend. If staff members see someone selling tickets, they will inform
For the last six men's home basketball games, the Athletics Department has enforced a University of Kansas no-solicitation policy that forbids commercial sales, including the resale of tickets, on campus. The enforcement came after the department received numerous complaints of ticket sellers harassing fans.
then of the policy and ask them to leave. If those people continue to sell the tickets after being warned, the staff will then call the KU Public Safety Office.
Those caught scalping could be charged with criminal trespassing, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
After that, it's off to the Douglas County Municipal Court to pursue further action against the offender.
The KU Public Safety Office will not patrol the area for Saturday's game against Colorado, anymore than it already does, Bailey said. He also said that the office didn't expect problems with the resale of tickets on campus this weekend.
TICKET PRICES
The face value for general admission tickets is $40, $10 for student tickets, and $5 for student tickets that were purchased as part of a all-sports package. Here's a list of what some professional ticket brokers are charging for tickets to the Colorado game this weekend:
Ebay: between $50 and $150 (general admission); $10 to $15 (student)
+ greattickets.com: $155
(corner seats); $240

♦ coasttocoaststickets.com:
    $170 (corner seats);
    $265 (baseline)
Ace Sports & Tickets:
$50 and up (all seats)
Source: Ticket Web sites
"We expect everyone to know the policy and comply with it," Bailey said. "I don't think it's going to be a huge problem."
The KU Public Safety Office hasn't had to remove anyone from campus for ticket solicitation so far, Bailey said.
"We'd hope for 100-percent compliance," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, "but I'm sure that won't quite happen."
Marchiony agreed that the situation would not pose a big problem, but thought that ticket solicitation would still occur to some degree.
Another option for people looking for tickets is to buy them from a professional ticket broker, such as Ace Sports and Tickets, 647 Massachusetts St.
But Hal Wagner, owner of Ace Sports and Tickets, said he didn't expect the heavier enforce-

Wind ensemble invited to Chinese festival

The wind ensemble, a group of 66 of the top musicians at the University of Kansas, will travel to China on May 23 for
Members of the KU Wind Ensemble will have an opportunity to play in China for more than 30 nations and an audience of more than 20,000 people this summer.

But the wind ensemble can't go unless it raises $105,000 to cover expenses — and that's only half. The Chinese government will pay for the other half.
And now, the wind ensemble has all but $18,000.
The group has already received donations, including a $5,000 donation from
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's office.
Wednesday night, the wind ensemble asked the Student Senate committees for $10,000. The amount will be confirmed if the full Senate passes the bill next week.
If the Senate donation is approved, the wind ensemble has only $8,000 keeping it from traveling to China.

Watkins' chief resigns
With a vanilla and chocolate cake,
Watkins Memorial Health Center staff
members thanked Myra Strother for
her service as chief of staff.
Strother will step down Monday after four years as chief of staff.
Strother will continue to be a physician at Watkins and is still involved in the departments of customer service and quality improvement.
Patricia Denning, Watkins staff physician, will replace Strother on Monday. Denning said the position is traditionally rotated among the staff at Watkins.
Denning has been at Watkins for 15 years and plans to use Strother's tenure as an example during her administration.

years." Denning said.
The conversion of Watkins from walk-in visits to appointments also went into effect during Strother's tenure. Instead of waiting two hours to see a doctor, students now wait 15 to 30 minutes.
The change in administration
came at a good time, Strother said.
Watkins was re-accredited last year, and things are running smoothly.
Strother said she was looking forward to just being able to practice medicine.
New policies for the meningitis vaccination and doctor's notes to excuse ill students from class, will be Denning's earliest concerns, Strother said. She is sure Denning will do an excellent job.
"I'm returning to my first love," she said.

Students open snack shop
BY NATE KARLIN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students who envision owning a business now have the opportunity to put their plans to the test.
The Undergraduate Business Council (UBC) will open a student-run snack shop in the Summerfield Hall lobby Monday.
The shop will serve sandwiches, snacks and beverages. Most of the snack orders will go through KU Dining Services, including producing the sandwiches that would be served at the snack bar.
But from its management to the food servers, the snack shop will be just like a real-life business, Matt Webb. UBC president.
The shop will give students an opportunity to experience how a real business works, Webb said.

Students from the clubs of the School of Business, which contributed to the construction costs, will assist by providing the individual talents of each club. For example, students from the marketing club will help with the marketing.
But any student in any major can participate, Webb said. The UBC will collect all profits from the snack shop and distribute them among the individual business organizations, Webb said.
The students had to get approval from the KU Dining to determine the
"I think it's nice to have something so close." he said.
Amy Graf, Leavenworth senior, said the shop would not only benefit individual students by giving them experience, it would benefit the School of Business as well.
Stillwell senior and president of the Undergraduate Business Council, sets up the yet-to-be-filled snack bar area that was recently constructed in Summerfield Hall Wednesday. The snack bar is in the lobby of the building and has been in the works for about a year. Webb said people he had talked to seemed to be looking forward to its opening and thought it would be well-received
food that could be served, he said. For example, UBC originally wanted to sell pizza, but KU Dining wouldn't allow it because they already have Pizza Hut in the Union. They also had to get approval from Coca-Cola to move the drink machines out of the room where the shop would be located.
"I think it's good for the business school, because it will bring in money," Graf said.
The mere presence of a snack shop at the bottom of the hill pleased Travis Boggs, Olathe junior. He said he didn't like having to walk to Wescoe or the Union to buy food.
Michael Myers, assistant director of retail for KU Dining, said the Summerfield snack shop would serve
Students put together all the business plans and agendas for the shop last spring, which the council presented to KU Dining. Webb said.
"We came up with a pretty serious business plan that they took seriously" he said.
as a test model for future snack bar sites on campus.
"I think it's a really interesting idea." Myers said. "Any time we can partner up with the academic side, we do it."
For now, there aren't any plans for expansion because KU Dining wants to focus on customer service at the Market and The Underground, Myers said.
KU Dining already has snack shops or carts in several areas on campus, including the Union Market, the Underground, JRP Hall snack bar, Anschutz food cart and the Learned coffee cart.

Caterer aims to reclaim business
BY ADAM LAND

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU Panhellenic Association boycott of Jayhawk Catering will continue this semester, association president Christina Strubbe said.
The ban started last semester after the catering company did not meet certain standards set by University of Kansas sororities.
The largest complaints were security, sales to minors, transportation and a failure to limit attendants to those on the guest list, Strubbe, Leawood junior said.
Now under new ownership, the catering business wants to reclaim the business they once had, said Andy Zens, new owner of Jayhawk Catering.
"We need their business back, and we plan on addressing their concerns," Zens, Mequon, Wi., junior, said.
The organization boycotted the business because the business did not police the procedures as well as the organization would have liked.
The complaints started coming in last semester from a lot of the sororities, said Morgan Mcbee, last year's president of Panhellenic. Drinking-related accidents have led to lawsuits against sororities on other campuses, she said.
"We had a meeting with the old owners after the initial decision to boycott," Mcbee said. "But after we finally got their proposal we did not feel they could adequately meet our needs."
"We heard a lot of different things from the sororities," said Mbee, Dallas senior. "We did not want someone to get hurt, because that kind of thing has happened a lot in the recent past."
This semester most of the Jahawk Catering staff is new, Zens said.
He said he hoped that the new management can overcome the problems. He plans on meeting with Panhellenic leaders after he drafts a new proposal that should answer their questions and calm their fears, but the effort may not be enough.
"I really can't see Panhellenic going back to Jayhawk catering," Strubbe said. "However, the issue really comes down to the vote by the sororities, I can just bring up the issue."
Zens said he would present his proposal to Panhellenic executive board to the association within the month.
After the beginning of the boycott, the association moved functions to other local businesses such as bars and clubs. Strubbe and other Panhellenic leaders have been pleased with the change.
"We don't have any intention of going back to Jayhawk catering," Strubbe said. "The places we hold functions at now work well and no one has had any complaints."

LAW SCHOOL
BY JASON SHAAD

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
U. S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is scheduled to become the 10th Justice to visit the University of Kansas on March 10.
Ten is a pretty good number for the University, said Webb Hecker, associate dean for academic affairs in the School of Law. Justices tend to visit East Coast law schools more often because they are seen as more prestigious and closer to Washington D.C., Hecker said.
"We've had more than our fair share considering where we're located," Hecker said.
McAllister worked as a clerk for Justice Byron White and Justice Clarence Thomas, both of whom have visited the law school, Hecker said.
Stephen McAllister.
Hecker said McAllister tried to invite a balance of Justice's. Ginsburg is a more liberal Justice and will present different views from those of conservative Justice Thomas, who visited in October, Hecker said.
But students have much to gain from visiting Justices, regardless of their political stance, Hecker said. Besides improving the reputation of the law school, the meetings give students a new perception of the Justices themselves, Hecker said.
"They get to see how impressive they really are, and they get to see that they're just regular human beings, too." Hecker said.
Ginsburg will give students a perspective on being the second woman to ever be on the Supreme Court, said Carly Farrell, Overland Park second-year law student. Farrell, who is also the president of the Women in Law organization, said Ginsburg was a role model for women.
"It's important to see someone who can balance being a wife, a mother and a lawyer and still be very successful," Farrell said.
Visits can help personify some of the material law students study, said Carolyn Porto Johnson, an adjunct lecturer in political science.
"They benefit by getting to see the person who writes the opinions that they'll be studying," she said, "and they'll be studying them a lot."
Between now and March,

Wall Street Journal bureau chief to receive award
— Joshua Bickel
The 55th William Allen White Award will be presented today at 1:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, said Sabrina Keidel, senior administrator for the School of Journalism.
The award ceremony is free and open to the public. Keidel said.
The award, presented annually to distinguished journalists, will be awarded to Gerald F. Seib, a 1978 KU School of Journalism graduate and Washington, D.C. bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal, Keidel said.
Other distinguished recipients of the William Allen White Award include Walter Cronkite, 1969; Arthur O. Sulzberger, 1974; Bob Woodward, 2000 and Cokie Roberts, 2002.
Seib will also meet with journalism students and faculty and speak in journalism classes during his visit.
Sorority carnival to help fund Lawrence preschool
Kappa Kappa Gamma will hold the second annual "Kaw River Carnival" on Sunday to benefit Brookcreek Learning Center, a preschool for at-risk children.

The carnival will feature a variety of children's games and activities such as a

The Littleton, Colo., sophomore, said the sorority would donate the money from the carnival to the preschool. Delta Chi will also take part in the fundraiser.

moonwalk, a fishing pond and a lollipop tree.
"This is not just a Greek fundraiser," Dienstbach said. "I'm looking forward to the kids getting the opportunity to participate in the carnival."
Cost to the carnival is based on the amount of games that the children play. One dollar buys four tickets and that the average cost of a game is two tickets. Prizes, gift certificates, CDs and toys will be awarded for individual games.
"This event is for the children and the benefits are all going toward the children, so it all goes together," Dienstbach said.

Bomb threat deters Kansas City-bound flight
DANIA BEACH, Fla. — A bomb threat grounded a Midwest Airlines flight as it prepared to take off yesterday, but officials later said it was a hoax.
Flight 706, headed to Kansas City, Mo., had taxied out to the runway for a
take off when Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International Airport officials received the threat.
The passengers and crew members and their baggage were being removed from the plane, airport spokesman Jim Reynolds said. Reynolds refused to say how the threat was made.

LONDON — Thirty years after their first romance, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles, both now graying divorcees, will finally wed in a civil ceremony and put the official seal on a relationship Princess Diana blamed for the breakdown of her marriage to the man who would be king. In a nod to those who have not warmed to Parker Bowles, the royal family said yesterday she would never hold the title of queen but eventually would be called HRH Princess Consort instead.

Local bands rock out for tsunami benefit
BY ERIC SORRENTINO
escorrentino@kansan.com
KANSAN STATE WRITER
Eight Lawrence bands are using their musical talents to make a difference overseas.
The bands will play for seven hours at the Granada Theatre tomorrow night, but will not see any of the money that is generated. The bands will play for victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami.
"I don't make enough money to save that many people's lives with medicine or food," said Jake Davis, singer/songwriter of Basin, "but if I could do something to help a substantial amount, it would be nice and make me feel good."
Davis hopes to raise $3,000 tomorrow night at the Lawrence Tsunami Benefit concert. He said that he came up with the idea from talking to the American Red Cross chapter in Lawrence. The proceeds from the event will go toward the International Response Fund of the American Red Cross.
Tickets for tomorrow's event at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., are $5 for ages 21 and older and $7 for ages 20 and younger. Davis said additional money could be donated at the concert. Doors open at 6 p.m.
Betsy Stverak, Overland Park senior, said that having the benefit concert at the Granada made a lot of sense to her because
Lawrence_was a hotbed for the local music scene.
As director of media relations for the band Distance to Empty, Stverak said that when she left the concert tomorrow, she would have a renewed sense of the Lawrence community. She said she felt good about working for free.
"These people had no warning, and it's just a catastrophe." Stverak said. "If I could, I would go over and rebuild houses and give food, but since I'm going to do what I can here to help."

Davis said he sent out an e-mail to every indie rock and local band he could find on lawrence.com. He found 25
"The hardest part was telling people they wouldn't be able to play." Davis said.
Mike Logan, owner of the Granada, said that he hoped the venue would fill up to its capacity of 600 people.
Logan said that Davis contacted him about having the event, and he agreed to allow Davis to put on the concert. Davis had never directed an event before. Logan said that he chose Saturday night for the concert in an attempt to improve the draw.

Bo McCall, lead guitarist for Distance to Empty, said merchandise sales from the concert would go toward the International Response Fund as well. McCall said he played in a Relay For Life, a benefit for the American Cancer Society, on May 2003, at Memorial Stadium and enjoyed concerts for charitable causes.
"When I heard about the tsunami, I thought about donating money myself," McCall said. "When this concert came up, I was excited about playing and making a contribution that way."

Meditation group offers students time to reflect
KATRINA MOHR
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
A University of Kansas student created a weekly meditation group to give people a way to cope with the mental, physical and spiritual demands of college.
Meditation, which is sponsored by Student Union Activities, provides a place for all of the University to take a break from their busy schedules to reflect and rejuvenate each week.
At each session, selected speakers read a 20-minute meditation, an original and thoughtful piece of writing accompanied by music, to listeners in Danforth Chapel.
MEDITATION
Michelle Tran, Wichita sophomore, founded the weekly meditation session.
Meditation meets Thursdays from 2:30 to 3 p.m. in Danforth Chapel. Next Thursday's speaker will be Thad Holcombe, campus pastor for the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. Meditation is accepting submissions on a rolling basis from everyone inside and outside the KU community. E-mail submissions to Michelle Tran at mbitran@ku.edu.
Tran got the idea to bring Meditation to the University after attending Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H. There, the students gathered weekly to listen to the older students deliver their meditations. Afterward, they drank tea and discussed the oration. Tran enjoyed meditation so

much that she proposed starting a club at the University as soon as she became a member of the Student Union Activities Social Issues Committee.
"Every day we pass people on campus, and each person has an amazing story to tell." Tran said. "Meditation is a chance for one of those people to share themselves with the KU community. By thinking and talking about what they shared, we all get to know more about each other."
There is no formal question and answer session after the reading, so organizers encourage participants to go to SUA's Tea Time from 3 to 4 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. There, the speaker and listeners can drink tea and discuss the reading.
"I love to see that contemplative and thoughtful look in people's eyes at the end of a meditation." Tran said. "I live for that moment."
Mary Klayder, professor of English, spoke at one session. Tran asked Klayder to speak because she admired the writing that Klayder shared with her English class. More than 25 people listened to Klayder's meditation, and many attended Tea Time afterwards.
一
"It was a nice experience," Klayder said. "I think this is a wonderful way for people to stop and take some time to listen or say something. There are so many people with things to say, and it will create a sense of community and allow people to talk about what they're thinking."

Student Union Activities hosts a meditation every Thursday from 2:30 to 3 p.m. Tran said each meditation included a song at the beginning followed by a speaker reading a reflective essay and a song to conclude. "It's nice to find at least one time a week when you can sit down, be quiet and think," said Tran.

A South Korean newspaper reporting North Korea's nuclear weapons is seen on a subway train in Seoul, yesterday. North Korea for the first time publicly boasted yesterday it had nuclear weapons and said it would stay away from disarmament talks.
North Korea announces nuclear weapon supply
BY BURT HERMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea boasted publicly for the first time yesterday that it has nuclear weapons and said it would stay away from disarmament talks, dramatically raising the stakes in the 2-year-old dispute.
The Bush administration called on Pyongyang to give up its atomic aspirations so life could be better for its impoverished people.
North Korea's harshly worded pronouncement posed a grave challenge to President Bush, who started his second term with a vow to end North Korea's nuclear program through six-nation disarmament talks.
"We ... have manufactured nukes for self-defense to cope with the Bush administration's ever-more undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the (North)," the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency. The agency's report used the word "nukes" in its English-language dispatch.
Previously, U.S. negotiators said North Korean officials claimed in private talks that they had nuclear weapons and might test one. The North's U.N. envoy also said last year the country had
"weaponized" plutonium from its pool of 8,000 nuclear spent fuel rods.
But yesterday's statement was the first claim directly from North Korea's state media that it has a nuclear weapon, confirming the widely held beliefs of international experts that the country has one or two atomic bombs. North Korea is not known to have performed any nuclear tests, and it kicked out U.N. inspectors in 2002, so there is no way to verify its claims.
The United States and South Korea, the North's main rivals, played down the revelation and urged the North to return to the six-nation talks that began in 2003 and also include China, Japan and Russia. Analysts suggested the move by North Korea may be a negotiating tactic aimed at getting more compensation in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons program.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said North Korea should return to negotiations.
"The world has given them a way out and we hope they will take that way out," she said, wrapping up a trip to Europe. "The North Koreans have been told by the president of the United States that the United States has no intention of attacking or invading North Korea.
"The message is clear; give up these aspirations for nuclear weapons and you know life can be different," Rice said, adding that it was the same message Libya understood in renouncing its nuclear ambitions.
In a clear overture to North Korea to help foster the nuclear talks, Bush refrained from direct criticism of the country in last week's State of the Union address. He mentioned the North only in a single sentence, saying Washington was "working closely with governments in Asia to convince North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions."
Bush previously branded the North part of an "axis of evil" along with Iran and Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
"The U.S. disclosed its attempt to topple the political system in (North Korea) at any cost, threatening it with a nuclear stick," North Korea's Foreign Ministry said. "This compels us to take a measure to bolster its nuclear weapons arsenal in order to protect the ideology, system, freedom and democracy chosen by the people in (North Korea)."
administration was trying to "mislead" the world in calling for resuming the six-party talks while also seeking "regime change" in North Korea.
Still, Pyongyang yesterday seized on comments by Rice last month in which she labeled North Korea as one of the "outposts of tyranny" in the world.
The statement said the Bush
"This is nothing but a far-fetched logic of gangsters as it is a good example fully revealing the wicked nature and brazen faced double-dealing tactics of the U.S. as a master hand at plot-breeding and deception," the statement said.
South Korea urged its neighbor to rejoin the talks, and said it maintains its previously stated estimate that North Korea has enough plutonium to build one or two nuclear bombs.
"We once again urge North Korea to rejoin the six-party talks without conditions so that it can discuss whatever differences it has with the United States and other participants," said South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Lee Kyuhvung.
Both Rice and White House spokesman Scott McClellan played down any significance of North Korea's announcement that it has nuclear weapons.
"We remain committed to a peaceful diplomatic resolution to the nuclear issue with regards to North Korea," McClellan said aboard Air Force One enroute to North Carolina. "It's time to talk about how to move forward."
TSUNAMI
Images reveal seabed ruptures
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — The first images yesterday of the seabed battered by the earthquake that triggered Asia's catastrophic tsunami revealed huge ruptures spanning several miles.
A British naval ship collecting data off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra Island produced the digital images using sonar, and they could be used to help develop a tsunami early-warning system for the Indian Ocean region.
The colored seabed maps show the 9.0-magnitude quake caused tectonic plates to clash "like the rumbling up of a carpet," said Steve Malcolm, commanding officer of the HMS Scott.
The images show "scars" more than six miles wide resulting from the Dec. 26 quake. They depict the line where the Indian tectonic plate suddenly collided with, and was pushed underneath, the Burma plate.
The maps, created with multi-beam sonar, show ridges as tall as 4,950 feet that were created over thousands of years by the slow collision of the deep, flat Indian plate and the
ragged edge of the Burma plate.
That collision has resulted in the Indian plate being gradually shoved under the edge of the Burma plate in a process known as subduction, said Russell Wynn, a marine geologist at the Southampton Oceanography Centre, which took part in the survey.
The Dec. 26 quake was caused by a sudden movement of the two plates, which in turn caused the ridge of the Burma plate to spring up about 30 to 60 feet, Wynn said. That sent water surging up and out, creating the devastating waves that menaced the region. The main collision zone was some 12,000 feet below the ocean surface.
Wynn said scars seen on the digital images were likely landslides created by sediment being loosened by the earthquake.
The epicenter of the earthquake was 24 miles below the seafloor, Wynn said.
Scientists from the Southampton Oceanography Centre in England and the British Geological Survey have been working with the crew on the HMS Scott since Jan. 26.
BAN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
for the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical department, police department and health department enforce it.
The city has issued nine citations since the ordinance went into effect in July, Corliss said. Three of those citations were issued for Coyote's and two were for Last Call.
Some bar owner sympathize with Steffes' allegations that enforcement needs improvement.
The law's provisions for enforcement are unfair and don't work, said Steve Gaudreau, owner of Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts St.
Smaller fines should fall on bar owners who did not stop people from smoking in their bars, he said.
The majority of the fine for violating the smoking ban should fall on the people who are smoking, Gaudreau said.
"You can't police the crowd 100 percent of the time," Gaudreau said. "To fine a bar owner because one person is smoking out of 150 people is ridiculous. Just fining that one person seems more reasonable."
Gaudreau said he had been told police didn't have time to enforce the ban and firemen didn't have the proper training to enforce it. This meant that his employees were responsible for ensuring that nobody smoked in his bar, Gaudreau said.
"I understand the concern that if firemen tell someone to stop smoking, and that person becomes belligerent or forceful,
"To fine a bar owner because one person is smoking out of 150 people is ridiculous."

Gaudreau said that his employees had not yet had problems with enforcement because most people knew not to smoke. Quinton's has not received any citations.
unen they're not trained to deal with that," Gaudreau said. "But unfortunately, my staff isn't trained for that either."
But if bar owners are not fined enough for violations, they will not have an incentive to enforce the ban, Tony Kohake, Olathe senior, said.
And if bars don't enforce the ban, it's impractical to expect it will get enforced efficiently at all. Kohake said.
"The police can't go from bar to bar and catch each person who is smoking," Kohake said. "The only way for it to work is if each bar enforces it."
Re-evaluations of the ordinance are more likely to appear on city commission agendas with the pending municipal court trial, he said.
The commission could re-visit how the ordinance applies to appropriately ventilated areas as soon as the end of February. Corliss said the city commission may revise the ordinance.

Safeguard U.S. border from Canada
Dear Mr. O'Reilly.
After recently viewing "The O'Reilly Factor," which you ironically dub the "No Spin Zone," I was disturbed by your desire to build a barricade between the United States and Mexico to prevent the influx of illegal aliens.
I realize that you personally want to eradicate the problem of illegal Mexican immigration, which you claim tears America apart, but why are you completely neglecting our "neighbors" to the north?
Our border with the villainous Canadians stretches over 3,000 miles — twice as long as the U.S.-Mexico border — and with its recent legalization of homosexual marriage, who knows what kind of scum can stroll across national boundaries and infiltrate America?
You've already suggested a full-on boycott of Canadian goods, and a policy move to limit immigration of Canadians to the United States, and I think you're on the right track, but if we really want to get those hockey-loving pacifists, nothing short of an enormous, steel-reinforced, concrete wall will do the trick. I feel that this is the only sure way to keep those Canadians out of our cities, our towns, our communities, our churches, our schools, our businesses, in fact, our entire wholesome society.
That's what I propose, O'Reilly, and I figure that with the help of such a prominent, well-regarded, greatly loved and admired, trusted newsman as yourself, we could find the resources to implement my idea.
Kevin McKernan/KANSAN
Bill, I know you are truly a man of statistics, so let's look at the facts. Over 90 percent of the Canadian population is along the U.S. border. According to the Toronto Free Press, 40 percent of Canadian teens believe that America is evil. Fox News broadcasts to only about half of the entire country. Freedom you ask? I beg to differ.
While you merely want to protect our southern border with a fortified wall from all of those dangerous Mexicans, you forgot about the terrorists in Canada, O'Reilly. Every day on your show you frighten us, you claim that Al Qaeda can easily smuggle an atomic bomb from Canada in to the United States with ease, while at the same time, you tell us that we're defeating terrorism.
If we really wanted to be safe, O'Reilly, instead of a wall between here and Mexico, we must fortify ourselves from both of our neighbors. You and I both know, the Canadians are plotting something.
Do you really want our government to be overthrown by people with a universal health care system?
Can you feel it now, O'Reilly? Canadians have already begun to seep into America, like maple syrup being drained from its bottle, starting with Minnesota and Wisconsin; they are slowly making their way farther and farther south.
Do you really want our national flag to be the maple leaf? I cherish the freedom which Uncle Sam not the Queen of England gave me. I agree with your plan to build a massive wall between the United States and Mexico, but let's take it one step further.
If you love America, then you will agree with me, we need another wall between United States and those Canucks. Any red-blooded American can't dismiss the fact that America is becoming too culturally diverse.
The plans for a wall surrounding the United States seem to be the only means available for protecting our life, our liberty, and our pursuit of happiness.

MCKERNAN'S PERSPECTIVE
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Constitution protects minorities' rights, gay rights not moral issue
I took offense to David Archer's op-ed piece on Feb. 3, especially his assertion that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community should not be recognized as a minority.
The funny thing about morality is that it isn't something that is standardized for all people. And while homosexuality may be immoral in the opinion of some, in no way does that mean that the laws of an entire country must be based on that group's beliefs.
The Constitution is a document set up to protect the rights of minorities despite their popularity with the rest of the population.
Flag-burning remains a protected form of free speech despite a vast majority of people who oppose the practice.
To deny this as a civil rights battle is to deny that in more than half of all states, sexual orientation is not included in employment non-discrimination laws. To deny this as a civil rights battle is to say that some groups are not worthy of equal standing under the law in this country where "all men are created equal."
The gay rights movement isn't about bumper stickers, as the author so claims, but about ensuring that every person in America has the same opportunity to be happy, regardless of whom he or she falls in love with.
Think about this: when the Supreme Court struck down laws prohibiting interracial marriage in 1971, 90 percent of Americans were opposed to the idea, but no rational citizen today would argue that back then the majority was right.

This letter is in response to David Archer's column, "Marriage shouldn't be codified," which ran Tuesday, Feb. 3.
I have often wondered why people are opposed to gay marriage. I say, "What's the big deal? Let them marry." Archer is the first person I have encountered who has articulated his opinion on this issue. I interpreted his arguments as follows:
Gay marriage issue of civil rights columnist's position un-American
2. The Bible says so.
This scares me. These arguments have been used throughout history to justify atrocity, and this form of thinking strikes me as starkly un-American and extremely dangerous.
1. It is OK to discriminate against gays because they are a small minority.
To me, this is a civil rights issue. Archer and others like him wish to deprive a group of Americans their equal rights based upon their biology.
This is discrimination.
What harm can come from allowing gays to marry? I can think of none. It would show that America is not afraid of gays, and that we think it is acceptable to be gay. Maybe that is what Archer is afraid of, but I see these as positive steps.

Columnist misconstrues success of Iraqi election; No democracy yet
Vince Myers is certainly ecstatic about the elections in Iraq the weekend before last, "Iraqis take ownership in democracy," Feb. 9. Now, if they only meant anything. For what exactly were the ballots being cast? Many of the candidates for office had to remain anonymous in order to remain alive through Election Day, and even if the names were known, the platforms certainly weren't. As Middle East expert Juan Cole noted last week, reports were coming out that "one motive for the good turnout in places like Najaf was the hope that a new provincial assembly could finally get the electricity turned on."
Not exactly a mandate for action.
Of course we should be thrilled at the exercise of voting that Iraqis enjoyed last weekend, but let us not read anymore into it than that — an exercise. You can say the words "freedom" and "liberty" all you want, but it will not end the insurgency or prevent civil war and more effectively.
Our current troop levels in Iraq will be maintained through the near future, Secretary of State Rice didn't know how many Iraqi security forces we've trained, and the military has admitted that most of the guerrilla fighters are Baathists, not foreign-based terrorists. Let's keep things in context please.

Hard choices bring lasting life changes
I am sure that at one point in your life you have heard the phrase, "The decisions you make today will affect the way you live tomorrow."
Take a risk, or play it safe. Remember that the decisions we make in those situations will not only affect us, but in most cases, our loved ones as well.
Now this is not some cliché that people say simply because it sounds good. It is a new year and a new semester — situations are bound to arise. The outcome of those situations may or may not be known.
I think the hardest decision to make is one that has an unknown outcome. For example, my father and my brothers' mother both have traits of sickle cell. The odds were against them to have a child born sickle cell free. They made a tough decision and chose to have children anyway, not knowing the outcome.
together they had two lovely boys, Mike and
Even though life brings tough decisions,the outcomes can be life-changing.
very boys, Mike and Marcus. Both were born with sickle cell, but the disease affected Mike the most.
My oldest brother, Mike, suffered from the disease his entire life. He had numerous surgeries and to top it off, he had to go to dialysis every other day because $ \mathrm{h}^{2} $
kidney was beginning to fail. He could not get a transplant because his body was too weak for the operation.
Things took a turn for the worst when he turned 21 years old. His ailments began to have a domino effect. He started to spend most of his time in the hospital. It became his new home. Through it all, he never once complained. He was a true soldier.
My brother passed away a year ago at the age of 25, but I thank my father for choosing to have my brother, and I thank God for letting him stay on this earth for as long as he did. I cherish the short time I had with him.
My father's decision to have my brothers has had a tremendous impact on my life.
If Mike were never placed in my life, I would not be the person I am today. He was not only my brother; he was my friend and my teacher. Anytime I needed to vent, he was there. If no one else was around, I could depend on Mike.
He taught me how to live life to the fullest. He stressed the importance of giving and showing love to loved ones because he knew that tomorrow was not promised to anyone. He also taught me how to have a sense of humor because I took life too seriously.
Most importantly, he taught me how to stand firm in the midst of a storm. I could never be as courageous as he was. I love you Mike and you will never be forgotten.
In a situation like this, I do not believe that there is a right or wrong way to handle it.
If I were in my father's shoes, I too would have made the same decision to have children. My father took a risk twice. The outcome was not in his favor, but he still came out on top. My father had the honor of raising his own flesh and blood.
Others might have strayed away from my father's decision, but it is up to you to decide whether the outcome is worth the risk.

ment of the ticket policy to increase his business.
"It really hasn't affected our business at all," he said.
Wagner said his business had never had any problem with the University. He wasn't able to comment on the number of tickets his business usually sells for KU games.
Colin Brainard, Overland Park sophomore, said scalping should be reserved for professional arenas.
"I want to see college sports remain pure," he said.
Emily Ashcraft, Springfield, Mo., freshman, said the resale of tickets didn't affect her as a student. But if it's becoming a bother, then it's good the department is doing something about it, she said.
Kevin Kunde, Chicago freshman, said he didn't think cracking down on scalpers was necessary. The department should be honored that people are desperate to see the games, he said.
Marchiony said the department had received many more complaints from fans being harassed by people re-selling tickets than it received last year. The fans just wanted to be able to enjoy their evening without being solicited, he said.
"Our main goal is to make sure our season ticket holders enjoy
the experience of coming to Allen Fieldhouse," Marchiony said.
Students and other people who want to sell their tickets to friends and family can still do so, just not on University grounds. Members of the Williams Educational Fund also can return their tickets to the athletics department and be eligible for tax deductions based on the face value of the unused tickets.

and Friday, and Wednesday and Friday during times that classrooms are not being used.
The implementation of new class times will allow a set schedule of classes. Currently, classes and their times have to be approved, said Kim O'Bryon, public service administrator.
"We think it is a popular option to only have class two days a week," Steeples said. "The fact that we have some extra classroom space gave us the additional option, but we don't know how popular it is until after enrollment."
The new schedule allows for unique classes, such as within the
School of Education where public school teachers and administrators are involved in class programs.
Classes that start too early or run too late are poorly utilized, said Mike Neal, dean of the School of Education. He said it was more logical to start and end classes at times that made them more desirable.
"Instead of a building being less utilized at 8 a.m because students don't take a 7.30 a.m.class, the building will be utilized at 8 a.m. because students will be taking 8 a.m. classes," Neal said.
Faculty and administrators are in the process of working out a faculty schedule for the spring 2006 semester.
Steeples said the only problems he expected were from faculty members who were resistant

Jayhawks dominate rivals across the board
The K-Staters really thought they had it this time. They could practically taste victory, could already see themselves flooding the court in Bramlage Coliseum with a sea of purple and silver pride. No more streak, a year's reprieve from the snake jokes about Allen Fieldhouse West, the end of 21 years of home court futility.
Of course, Kansas State fans think that every year when their men's basketball team plays Kansas at home. It's the fan's delusion. But this year, in particular, was supposed to be different. Kansas had ended its own 11-game losing streak against its Manhattan rivals last fall when the Kansas football team beat the Wildcats 31-28. Wednesday night was going to be comeuppance time.
But then, the game started and with senior forward Wayne Simien's 23 points, senior guard Keith Langford's 24 and sophomore guard J.R. Giddens' 18, the Jayhawks never trailed in the tight contest and were victorious once more. Long live the streak.
Actually, Kansas' so-called rivalries haven't really looked much like rivalries as of late. The men's basketball victory over K-State is nothing new, but even Missouri, which traditionally plays better on the court against Kansas, has only beaten Kansas one time in its last nine attempts. Granted, many of those games have been close, including the most recent nail-biter that saw Kansas climb back from an 11-point second-half deficit, but 1-9 is still 1-9. And Missouri seems to be getting worse, not better from four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in 1999-2002 to the NIT Tournament last year and a 10-13 record so far this year.
Then there's football. It seems like only yesterday that former Kansas football coach Terry Allen was roaming the sidelines, and the only drama the season promised was the battle between Kansas and Baylor for worst team in the Big 12. But this year, Kansas swept both its rivals, Missouri and Kansas State. The Missouri game, played in Columbia, wasn't even close. Kansas got out to a 28-0 lead before Missouri was even able to score.
While Kansas definitely appears to be a team on the upswing, it's not exactly clear what direction Missouri and Kansas State are headed in. Neither team lacked talent last season. The Wildcats had a true preseason Heisman candidate in senior running back Darren Sproles. The Tigers had their own highly touted star in junior quarterback Brad Smith. Both teams were picked to finish high in the standings: The Associated Press ranked K-State 12th in the country to start the season and Missouri 18th. Yet both teams ended in losing seasons.
Obviously football and men's basketball are the glamour sports of the NCAA, but the Jayhawks' recent success against their rivals doesn't end there. The Wildcats rate among the best in the Big 12 in women's basketball and have, at least so far, proven a little too tough for coach Bonnie Hendrickson's Jayhawks. But the Jayhawks have

Buffs come to town
Kansas, Colorado square off in tomorrow's game

When Colorado lost at Baylor last month, it owned the Big 12 Conference's worst record at 0-4.
WILLIAMS

The Buffaloes' season appeared to be lost at that point, but Colorado coach Ricardo Patton has guided his team to four conference victories since.
Colorado's improved play began with back-to-back two-point victories against Iowa State and Missouri. The team gained confidence, and despite losses to Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, it recently defeated Kansas State and Texas and owns a two-game winning streak.
The string of victories is even more impressive when considering that two of them were on the road.
"It's kind of worked out that way that we've had success on the road." Colorado assistant coach Paul Graham said. "We just tell our guys it's going to be a fun game and we have to stick together because we're the enemy."
The main area in which Colorado has improved has been putting points on the board. The Buffaloes have scored at least 86 points in each of its last four games. In a loss at Texas Tech, Colorado scored 61 points in a single half.
One of the reasons it took Colorado (12-9, 4-6 Big 12) so long to start playing well was because last year the team relied on the play of Michel Morandais and David Harrison. Both players averaged more than 16 points a game, and adjusting to life without their two departed stars was difficult. Graham said.
"The returning players on our team didn't play many minutes last year," Graham said. "Now these guys are beginning to play and understand Ricardo Patton's system. They know how hard you have to play and things you have to do now."
Freshman guard Richard Roby is one of the Colorado players that have made a difference in the team's turnaround. He leads the team in scoring, averaging 15.6 points per game, and was named last week's Big 12 rookie of the

Kansas to face fifth-ranked Stanford
The Jayhawks (6-0) will send sophomore Sean Land to the mound in search of his first victory of the season. Stanford (4-2) will counter with junior left-hander Mark Romanczuk. Land started the second game against Hawaii-Hilo last weekend and came away with a no-decision. Romanczuk is 1-1 with a 4.22 ERA on the season.
Kansas will put that adage to the test when it takes on perennial powerhouse Stanford at 7 tonight in its first of three games in Palo Alto, Calif.
Stanford enters the weekend ranked fifth in the nation by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and sixth by *Baseball America* and *Collegiate Baseball*. Stanford is coming off a weekend series at third-ranked Cal State-Fullerton in which it lost two of three. Junior second baseman Jed Lowry is pacing the Cardinal offense with a .375 batting average, three home runs and 1 RBI.
Last season, Kansas and Stanford
Kansas is making the trip to California on a high note. In sweeping Hawaii-Hilo in six games, the Jayhawks posted a 1.50 team ERA and scored 56 runs. More impressively, the Jayhawk's starting pitching gave up only two earned runs in 35 2/3 innings.
An interesting side note on the series involves KU junior pitcher Kodiak Quick. Quick transferred from Stanford at the end of last season, and Price and Stanford coach Mark Marquess agreed that Quick would not pitch against his former team, citing a "gentlemen's agreement."
met for the first time in history, and the Cardinal swept the series. Despite the lopsided outcome, Kansas led late in two of the three games before letting them slip away Coach Rich Price said he hoped to avoid the same fate this weekend with the help of junior right-hander Don Czvz.
"Closing games at the end has been a problem for us the last couple of years," Price said. "Hopefully now we can go to Czyz, and that won't happen."
"Coach Marquess is one of my best friends in baseball." Price said. "One of the things that you do when someone switches schools is agree not to play them against their old coach." Quick, who picked up a win against the Jayhawks last year, understands the situation.
On Saturday, junior right-hander Clint Schambach (1-0, 0.00) will start for the Jayhawks against junior Jeff Gilmore (1-0, 2.25). Sunday's match-up will feature Kansas senior left-hander Mike Zagurski (1-0, 0.00).
"When my coach released me, that was the agreement." Quick said. "I'm a little disappointed that I won't get to face them, but it will be a good trip."

Committee recommends instant replay
FOOTBALL
There may be instant replay at Memorial Stadium next season.
The NCAA Football Rules committee recommended experimental use of instant replay begin for all of Division I-A next season.
The recommendation will be looked at by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel on Feb. 24 and, if it is approved, will be used throughout Division I-A.
The model that the committee looked at was the system used last season by the Big Ten.
When the Jayhawks traveled to Big Ten school Northwestern last fall, coach Mark Mangino elected not to use instant replay.
When the Jayhawks traveled to Big Ten school
If the committee enacts the rule, the Big 12 conference will have until June 1 to decide whether the conference will use the system. Passage does not require conferences to use instant replay; it merely gives them the option.
The system would not be used in bowl games next season.

Kodiak Quick, junior righthanded pitcher for Kansas, watched the Jayhawks get swept in their first series at Stanford last season. He watched from the Cardinal dugout.
This year, he will make this weekend's trip to Palo Alto, Calif., as a Jayhawk, but he won't be playing.
Kansas coach Ritch Price and Stanford coach Mark Marquess decided that Quick would not throw against Stanford in the series. He understands the agreement, but that does little to ease his feelings about it.
Quick spent the first two years of his college career as a closing pitcher for the Stanford Cardinal before transferring to Kansas last fall. Quick had a successful career with the No. 6 Cardinal in the last two seasons.

In 2004, Quick posted 5.28 ERA which ranked second on
the team. In 24.2 innings of work, he struck out 19 batters. In the two-year span, Quick recorded 53 strikeouts in 41 appearances. His one victory in 2004 came against the Jayhawks during the final game of last season's three-game series.
"I think the addition of Kodiak Quick, with his experience at Stanford, will make him a great Friday night starter," senior catcher Sean Richardson said.
Becoming a starter was a big reason Quick decided to leave. Stanford used him out of the bullpen, and most times as a closer. Quick was eager to shake that role, despite being noted as one of the team's top
"I want to try to be more of an impact player. I want to start instead of close," Quick said.
He said the increase in playing time and a new role were the primary reasons Kansas was a good choice. The Belton, Mo., native also liked the coaching staff, including Price and pitching coach Steve Abney, and the close-to-home location. Nevertheless, it was hard to leave Sanford. he said.

The Kansas track and field team heads north and south this weekend as it competes in the John McDonnell-Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., and the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa.
Pole vaulters Ekaterina Sultanova and Amy Linnen, distance runner Benson Chesang and spinner/hurdlers Julius Jiles and Aaron Thompson will represent the squad in the home of the No. 1 Arkansas Razorbacks. The rest of the team will compete at Iowa State.
Linnen said she expected to have her best performance of the year.
"I feel pretty healthy, and my technique's coming together," she said. "I'm feeling very confident."
And as for this weekend's televised meet?
After injuring her Achilles tendon and suffering feet problems, she said she needed to get back on a national level while at Kansas.
Linnen set the national record for pole vault during a stint at the University of Arizona.
"We don't think about that as we jump," Linnen said. "It will
"This is my last year of eligibility, and I'm in a good place," Linnen said. "This will show everyone that I'm on top and nationally ranked."
Linnen and Sultanova stand at second and third in the Big 12 Conference in pole vaulting.
Chesang will look for another victory in the 3,000-meter race after his success last week in Lincoln, Neb. In his first race of the indoor season, the junior won and finished in the fourth fastest time in school history.
get us a lot of exposure, though."
Thompson and Jiles continue to battle for rankings within the Big 12 in the 60-meter hurdles. Jiles, a freshman, ranks fourth in the conference, and Thompson, a junior, ranks seventh.
"This meet is important because this is where nationals will be held this year," vertical jumps coach Tom Hays said. "We are working to take another step towards nationals."
Hays, a KU graduate and first-year coach, will coach the squad in a nationally televised meet.
"Any time it's televised, there's going to be better competition from the better athletes," Hays said. "Good things will happen if you're prepared."
Coach Stanley Redwine has a higher purpose for splitting the team as he leads the second squad into Ames for the Iowa State Classic.
"With the split meets this weekend we will give our athletes the best opportunity to compete for their best times," Redwine said.

Hockey lockout hits critical point
NEW YORK — The NHL told the players' association yesterday that a deal must be reached by this weekend to save the hockey season, a top league official said.
The union rejected what was described as a compromise proposal during a secret meeting Wednesday in Toronto, NHL chief legal officer Bill Daly said.
The sides agreed to keep negotiating through yesterday. But if an agreement is not reached in principle by this weekend, Daly said, then the season likely will be canceled.
Commissioner Gary Bettman scheduled a news conference for Wednesday night. A union spokesman did not immediately return phone calls.
The lockout reached its 148th day today and has wiped out 813 of the 1,230 regular-season games as well as this weekend's scheduled All-Star game.
percent rollback on all existing contracts.
The NHL offered on Wednesday to go with the players' association proposal from Dec. 9 that featured a luxury-tax system and an immediate 24
If it was determined after an unspecified period of time that the deal wasn't working, the agreement would be converted to the league's Feb. 2 proposal that contained a salary cap that would force teams to spend at least $32 million on player costs but no more than $42 million — including benefits.
Also included in that six-year offer — which could be reopened by the union after four years — was a profit-sharing plan that would allow the players' association to evenly split revenues over a negotiated level with the league.
Bettman was invited by the union back to the table last week for two days of talks after the union rejected the league's previous proposal.
The bulk of the negotiations since mid-December were conducted mostly by Daly and players' association senior director Ted Saskin.
It was believed that there had been no contact between the sides since last Friday when talks broke off after three straight days of meetings.

Giambi offers apology but skirts steroid issue
Giambi came to Yankee Stadium to make his first public comments since it was reported in December that he'd told a federal grand jury in 2003 that he took steroids for at least three seasons.
Only 10 days before he's scheduled to report to spring training, Giambi met with small groups of reporters with general manager Brian Cashman, manager Joe Torre and agent Arn Tellem at his side.
"When I went into that grand jury, I told the truth," he said. "I know the fans might want more, but at this present time because of all the legal matters, I can't get into specifics," he said. "Someday, hopefully, I will be able to."
Wearing a dark striped suit
Asked what message he was sending to kids, Giambi again refrained from specifics.

"This is a guy who is facing his problems. He's not running from them and he's trying to overcome them," he said, "And he's not quitting. I think that's what makes you a man."
Giambi said he had not read the San Francisco Chronicle story, which cited transcripts of his grand jury testimony, and he would not say whether the newspaper's report was accurate.
Giambi was bothered by a parasite and a benign tumor last year, and slumped to .208 with 12 homers and 40 RBIs. The Yankees dropped him from their postseason roster.
"I think we're all curious to see how he's going to rebound from everything he went through last year," Torre said. "He certainly looks better than he did."
One of the few topics Giambi addressed specifically was Jose Canseco's upcoming book, which is being released next week.

New recruits strike gold for bowling team
BY JASON ELMOUST
lemqist@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Several newcomers have brought depth to the already durable men's and women's bowling teams.
These players' participation has affected both teams' seasons. The men have won four tournaments and the women have finished no worse than eight place in each tournament.
The women's team, with four returning members from last year's fifth-place finish at the Intercollegiate Bowling Championship, has improved with the addition of two freshmen. The men's team, which has three returning members from last year's IBC, has relied on the play of three transfers.
Freshmen Natalie Bennett and Nikki Johannes are Kansas natives and originally decided to attend the University of Kansas because of their majors.
Johannes, who is going into nursing, had not even decided to join the team until this summer. She came into the season with a bad case of tendonitis in her knee and had to take off a month before getting into the action.
"It made me work a lot harder to catch back up where everybody was supposed to be," Johannes said. "We had to change a lot of things about my game, like my bowling approach."
Bennett's and Johannes' teammates consider the freshmen duo to be opposites. Bennett is the quiet, get-the-jobone bowler. Johannes is the cheerleader, considered the motivational force of the team.
"Natalie is very quiet. She contributes a lot by making the shots and the good scores," sophomore Leanne Downey said. "Nikki's definitely more outspoken. She helps us by trying to be a more motivational person and helps us with the team's spirit."
"Natalie is very quiet.She contributes a lot by making the shots and the good scores.
Leanne Downey
Sophomore
At the team's last tournament, the Maverick/Husker Classic, Bennett finished fifth overall and was named to the All-Tournament team. The freshmen's play has caught the team's attention.
attention:
"It's definitely given the four of us that have come back an extra effort to stay on top of our game," junior Kelly Sanders said. "We can't slack off because we know they're right there behind us, and if we do they're going to take over our spot."
While the women have new bowlers, the men have added transfer students to their roster.
Junior Dan Ahl transferred from Hudson Valley Community College last year. After he ruptured a tendon in the ring finger of his bowling hand, Ahl had to sit out the season. Sophomore Zach Taylor transferred from Nebraska after the 2002-2003 school year, but he had to sit out.
Taylor and Ahl practiced together and utilized the time to become acquainted with the program and each other. Junior Pat Eighamy joined the two this year when he transferred from Vincennes University.
Taylor said the three transfers were able to appreciate where each other came from and the changes each other had made.
"We're all a long way from home." Taylor said. "We've kind of used each other as a support group."
All transfers have brought previous experiences with them to Kansas. Ahl's bowling experience at Hudson Valley allowed him to become familiar with bowling on the east coast, while
"T they never put up a fight when we say 'We do this here' and they accept it totally.
Chris Diley Sophomore
Taylor and Eighmy are coming from strong, nationally-recognized bowling programs at Nebraska and Vincennes.
"They never put up a fight when we say, 'We do this here' and they accept it totally," sophomore Chris Dilley said. "They have all fit into the program well."
All three have had individual success, en route to team success. At the Blue and Gold Invitational, Eighly finished in second place, losing only to fellow teammate junior Rhino Page. At the Maverick/Husker Classic, Taylor finished in third place. Ahl has two top-five fin-
"There's no question in my mind, the men don't win four tournaments without Zach, Dan, and Pat," coach Mike Fine said. "Those guys are elite-caliber athletes and make all the difference in the world."
In addition to those five bowlers, the women's team has three other freshmen newcomers. They will add depth to the program, which loses only one player next season, Fine said. The men's team has six freshmen and a non-traditional student who could join the team next season.
The influx of bowlers selecting the KU bowling program is vindication of hard work, Fine said.
"I think it's something that everyone on the bowling team takes a lot of pride in and a lot of ownership in." Fine said. "We have a program that people want to come to participate in or think highly of us, and that is something we all take pride in."

Big 12 freshmen phenoms show talent, maturity
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — From A to Z — Aldridge to Zeno — the Big 12 Conference is bristling with an extraordinary class of high-class freshman.
Less than a year removed
from high school, they're shooting, rebounding and dishing the ball on pace with more experienced veterans, making an immediate impact in a tough league at a time when most kids are still hesitant and wide-eyed.
“There’s a lot of good ones”
Kansas coach Bill Sell said. "And
our league needs that because conferences are cyclical."
Everyone expected Texas point guard Daniel Gibson to bring a dazzling array of skills into his first season, and nobody feels let down. Gibson is averaging more than 17 points for the Longhorns.
Normanagee, Texas, has also emerged. He leads all freshmen in rebounding and is playing a pivotal role in the Texas A&M turnaround.

LaMarcus Aldridge, a 6-10 bruiser, was off to a great start for Texas until he was injured last month. One big reason No. 25 Texas Tech is challenging Kansas for the conference lead has been the smooth play of Martin Zeno.
A perfect fit for coach Bob
Knight's disciplined system, the guard has proven himself one of the league's best shooters, hitting more than 50 percent from the field and 80 percent from the line.
Altogether, one-fourth of the Big 12's top 20 point-producers were making plans for their high school prom this time last year.

already swept the Tigers this season, accomplishing that feat in convincing fashion with its 60-42 victory last Saturday at Mizzou Arena. The win marked the Jayhawks' first regular-season win against the Tigers since 1999.
For the moment, Kansas holds a 12-5.5 lead over Missouri in the Border Skirmish
standings, recording victories in the sports already mentioned as well as in men's cross country and soccer. With the spring season for many sports just now starting, there's still plenty of time for Missouri to make up ground. But if the games keep ending the way they have been, Kansas is heading for more victories over its rivals.

Junior forward Chris Copeland has done his best to fill the void Harrison left in the low post, he is averaging 13.6 points per game. Sophomore guard Marcus Hall is next on the list with an average of 12 points a game.
Senior forward Wayne Sinien said Kansas had taken notice of these players, and would place their full attention on tomorrow's game.

The Jayhawks are riding the momentum of nine straight conference victories, and will attempt to duplicate the 16-0 conference record that Kansas achieved in 2002.

Even on Valentine's Day it can be better to give than receive. Delivery drivers will bring more than smiles to the faces of Lawrence residents today.
Lawrence residents began ordering Valentine's Day gifts from Englewood Florist, 1101 Massachusetts St., before Christmas, Susan Engle, owner of the florist shop, said.
"Unlike a pizza delivery, you expected the pizza guy because you ordered it," Engle said. "The flowers and gifts are probably going to be a surprise for about 98 percent of the people."
Engle said the florist shop started to deliver the 500 gifts to Lawrence residents earlier this weekend.
She said this year the shop would carry out four times as many deliveries than it did last year. The floral shop will deliver the majority of its gifts today, but surprised Lawrence residents with gifts all weekend.
Engle said her delivery staff for Valentine's Day comprised 30 to 40 people.
"What makes a good worker for us is a huge block of time and that's tough with classes going on." Engle said.
The shop recruited campus organizations to help it deliver such as Young Life, the Rock Chalk Board and Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity. Eighteen to 20 students will help deliver gifts.

Scalping continues
New policies, enforcement haven't stopped scalpers
BY JOSHUA BICKEL

KANSAST WORK WRITER
Heavier enforcement of the University's ticket resale policy didn't deter scalpers from trying to sell tickets at the men's basketball game against Colorado on Saturday.
Department officials now walk around before games to keep scalpers from soliciting on University property, but ticket scalpers don't expect the policy to stop ticket resale at all.
James, a scalper working near Naismith Hall at Saturday's game who refused to give his last name, said he wasn't doing anything illegal. For some fans, he said, he was the only way to get a ticket to the game.
"I'm providing a service," he said.
"The marketplace comes to me."
He said that ticket-scalping was a

part of every game at Allen Fieldhouse and wondered why the department waited until now to do something about it.
Another ticket scalper on Saturday asked fans if they had tickets to sell on the southeast corner of the fieldhouse lawn.
Even though ticket scalpers were looking to buy and sell tickets on campus before Saturday's game against Colorado, the KU Public Safety Office didn't have to remove
anyone from campus for scalping tickets, said Sgt. Robert Linzer, KU Public Safety Office.
INTERNATIONAL
Recently the Athletics Department began strict enforcement of its policy that prohibited solicitation on campus, including the resale of tickets at athletic events. Those caught selling tickets on campus could be charged with criminal trespass.
But in order for ticket scalping to stop completely, the Athletics Department would have to enforce its policy to its fullest extent. Becca Goldberg, Plano, Texas, sophomore, said.
"Scalping is always going to happen," Goldberg said. "People are going to do anything to get into the game no matter what."
Waiting in the rain, Drew Williams,
Topeka freshman, holds up a finger
to indicate he wants a ticket. Williams
said he had waited approximately 30
minutes before he found a ticket.

Jayhawks sip on ceremony
Students learn about Japanese culture for their visit to Lawrence's sister city

Kneeling on the floor, Patrick Knobloch tried to understand the rituals of the Japanese tea ceremony taking place in front of him. Attention to detail is a must, but Knobloch couldn't ignore the pain in his knees. Neither could the seven other students huddled next to him in an elevated tea room above a garage on Ohio Street.
When instructed that the hour-long ceremony was finished and that they could stand, a sigh of relief filled the small room.
"It killed my knees," Knobloch said. "I used to be a catcher in high school, but that was nothing compared to sitting like that."
Knobloch, St. Louis senior, is one of nine students who spent yesterday learning about formal Japanese tea ceremonies. The students are preparing to travel to Japan this summer as part of the Kansas/Asia Scholars program and the Center for East Asian Studies.
The tea ceremony was one of several meetings they will attend this semester to learn about Japanese culture and Lawrence history.
"We think it's important that they consider themselves ambassadors of the city and of KU."

"We think it's important that they consider themselves ambassadors of the city and of KU." said Pat Graham, professor at the Center for East Asian Studies and director of the program.
That means several crash courses in Japanese food, conduct and dress, Graham said.
The tea ceremony was the students' first real immersion in Japanese culture, said Dale Slusser, a local instructor of the Urasenke school of tea. Slusser said he was helping the

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
While the women's basketball team celebrated a victory against Colorado, the Athletics Department held a celebration of its own to honor girls and women in sports.
For yesterday's 19th annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day, current and former Kansas female student-athletes were recognized at Allen Fieldhouse during the game. Fifty former letter winners as well as current Jayhawks from nine of 11 teams were presented
to the crowd of 2,265 during television timeouts at the game.
The ceremony was part of NGWSD, which was chartered by Congress in 1986 to give recognition to female athletes and stress the importance of their participation in sports and physical fitness.
After the game, current Kansas student-athletes signed autographs for fans in the field-house.
"It was exciting," former Kansas tennis player and 1985 graduate Steffanie Keefer said. "It's always good to recognize women's sports."
"Hats off to the marketing and

athletes that hopefully enjoyed the afternoon and got some love and recognition from the crowd."
NGWSD is celebrated in every state. Ceremonies honoring girls and women in sports take place all over the country during February. This year's theme, "More Than a Game," looks to continually increase national acknowledgment of women's sports throughout recent history.
Originally, the event was organized to recognize Flo Hyman, an Olympic silver medalist in volleyball.

KU police officer shoots knife-wielding man at Med Center
A man was shot late Thursday night in a parking lot near the University of Kansas Medical Center. He is still in critical condition, according to an e-mail sent by Ed Phillips, vice chancellor for administration for the Med Center.
About 11:45 p.m. that night a Med Center police officer responded to a report that a car had driven through a fence surrounding Lot 95, near Booth Street. The officer located a man he believed to be the driver and
began to approach him.
The police officer shot the man after he produced a large knife and ran toward the officer, according to the e-mail.
The man was then transported to an area hospital. The officer was not injured.
The officer involved is currently on administrative leave while the Kansas City, Kan., police and the Med Center police jointly investigate the incident.

Welcome to The University Daily Kansan's first special section of the semester, in honor of the one and only Valentine's Day. At this point in our lives, as college students, this holiday may be the most passively controversial of the year — our annual opinions of it depend almost entirely on whether we're involved in a relationship.
So rather than write sappy articles geared toward just the students who have a significant other, we thought we'd offer a helping hand and make suggestions to let you spend the day in your own style: romantic or prosaic; expensive or cheap; happy or brooding. The following pages will make this year's Feb. 14 a great day for us all one to remember. Do I give this section too much credit? Maybe. But here's to hoping.
Crawford is a Moundridge senior in journalism. She is special sections editor.
This special section was written and edited entirely by the Kansan's wonderful correspondent writers and copy editors. If you would like to be a part of the action and see your name in print, contact Janette Crawford at jcrawford@kansan.com or Matt Rodriguez at mrodriguez@kansan.com.

CAN'TBUYMELOVE
Start here for a great Valentine's Day 2005
By Lauren Debiak, KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Many individuals dread this legendary lovesick fellow, while others anxiously anticipate his arrival. He is notorious for causing toothaches, heartaches and fast breaks. Although nauseating to some, he is intoxicating to others. Love or hate this old chap, St. Valentine is on his way in to town.
If the Jen and Brad break-up left you feeling hopelessly cynical toward long lasting love, it is time to snap out of it. Valentine's Day is near, and a certain someone is counting on you to brighten their day with flowers, cards and candy.
Valentine's Day is a celebration of love, friendship and appreciation. It was designed to honor the illustrious St. Valentine, whose time as a priest earned him the reputation as a lover, not a fighter. Who are we kidding? This famed holiday has the potential to cause serious emotional distress to a usually sane person. It is staggering how certain we are of ourselves on Feb. 13. However, when the 14th rolls around and cupid drops the ball, our self-confidence is shot, along with our dreams for true love.
Even as children, we dedicated countless hours to creating
elaborate cards for the annual classroom exchange. We were cautious with our word choices and picky with our recipients Careful not to write a "love" where a "from" was deserved, our nerves got the best of us as we slipped our expressive haikus into special mailboxes and sprinted the entire way home.
Valentine's Day may be oversaturated with cheesy poetry arts and crafts and trips to Hallmark, but it is one day out of the year that you can devote some extra time and effort to a special person who makes a positive difference in your life. Everyone is entitled to one "bah humbug" holiday, but perhaps you should reserve that unenthusiastic outlook for another day. Valentine's Day is the perfect day to show you care.
This is a no-fail guide for those who are creatively challenged in the game of love. It is a detailed explanatory lifesaver that will have those bachelors and bachelorttes pining for your adoration. If you have questions about where to go, what to do or what to buy, use these carefully researched recommendations to dance your way into his or her heart.
Happy Valentine's Day!

The red rose has become an international symbol of love and affection. Roses have also become a favorite gift for Valentine's Day. But where did the queen of all sentimental gifts originate? According to oldrosenursery.com, "In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is said to have created the rose which arose from her tears and the blood of her lover Adonis."
More scientifically, the rose comes from the genus Rosa. Although their use and meaning have evolved, roses have been on Earth for a long time. Pallensmith.com explains that fossil records of roses date back 3 million years.
However, according to urbanext.uiuc.edu, breeding roses in gardens did not start until 5,000 years ago. It is believed to have started somewhere in China.
In Europe, during the 17th century, the rare rose was popular with royalty. It became so popular that royalty used rose water and roses for bartering and other transactions.
According to the Encarta Encyclopedia, the rose "today is the most popular and widely cultivated garden flower in the world." In the United States alone about 20 million rose plants are cultivated by commercial businesses annually to provide cut flowers for sale. Twice that many are produced each year as part of landscape additions.
According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2001 Americans spent a total of $68 million on roses. Lilies were the second most popular with a total of$ 58 million.
Roses can possess a specific meaning depending on the color or presentation of the flower. According to 800florals.com, "all roses symbolize love, but certain colors of roses can take on special meanings."
The red rose symbolizes love, respect and courage. A yellow rose represents joy, gladness and freedom. Pink or peach roses represent gratitude, appreciation, admiration and sympathy. White roses represent reverence, purity and secrecy.
The presentation of the flowers can also create a special meaning. Two roses together, bound by ribbon or twine, represent engagement. Red and white roses together represent unity.

WINE AND DINE
By Josh Fisher, KANSAN CORESPONDENT
Restaurants in Lawrence and Kansas City offer many choices for a memorable Valentine's Day dinner for two. In general, those looking for a relaxed, lower-pressure environment should stick to local establishments. Couples seeking a more upscale or unique experience will likely choose a restaurant in greater Kansas City.
Lawrence restaurants do cater to couples looking for a quieter, more romantic evening. Paisano's and Teller's offer Italian fare and atmosphere to match. Stone Creek offers both Italian and American food complemented with an extensive wine list. Hereford House and Longhorn Steakhouse offer high-quality steaks coupled with comfortable country décor.
In Lawrence, there are a plethora of local restaurants that would provide a quality backdrop for a romantic evening. Staying in Lawrence offers the greatest convenience, as you won't need to spend too much time traveling. There are a number of restaurants in town which would be equally suitable for taking a significant other for a fun night out with friends. Restaurants such as 75th Street Brewery, Free State Brewing Co., Henry T's Bar and Grill, and JB Stout's Sports Bar and Grill offer a pressure-free environment that won't put a serious dent in your checking account.
Those looking for a more sophisticated Valentine's Day dinner can head to the Kansas City area. In Overland Park, Nick and Jake's offers a restaurant and bar experience of a more sophisticated level than can be found in Lawrence. Bristol Bar and Grill in Leawood is known for its seafood, which is flown in fresh daily. Han Shin Japanese Steakhouse offers many different combinations of steak and seafood that is prepared while you watch by a very entertaining chef.
Those looking for the very best dining experiences the area has to offer need to go to Kansas City, Missouri. Mainstays such as The Capital Grille and Plaza III Steakhouse are a remarkably delicious way to enhance a romantic date. Both restaurants offer the highest quality steaks at prices sure to help you sweat off any weight gained on account of the meal. In addition, both have award-winning wine lists stretching price-wise well into three digits, though less-expensive alternatives are available. Jasper's Restaurant offers nationally-renown Italian selections as well as ready-to-go pastas, sandwiches and desserts in case you and your date would prefer to eat in a more intimate setting. The Melting Pot's menu includes a wide array of fondue dishes and desserts as well as private tables. An enjoyable meal is the centerpiece of a memorable Valentine's Day for you and your significant other, so make sure you have every angle covered. Gratuities are not included in the prices listed and can be very expensive when coupled with an upscale meal. Also, keep in mind that some restaurants have a dress code which may be strictly enforced. Finally, remember to make reservations as early as possible; you can't expect to walk into a restaurant on the Plaza Monday night and be seated right away.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2005 VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT GUIDE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WINE AND DINE
By Josh Fisher, KANSAN CORESPONDENT
Restaurants in Lawrence and Kansas City offer many choices for a memorable Valentine's Day dinner for two.In general, those looking for a relaxed, lower-pressure environment should stick to local establishments. Couples seeking a more upscale or unique experience will likely choose a restaurant in greater Kansas City.
In Lawrence, there are a plethora of local restaurants that would provide a quality backdrop for a romantic evening. Staying in Lawrence offers the greatest convenience, as you won't need to spend too much time traveling. There are a number of restaurants in town which would be equally suitable for taking a significant other for a fun night out with friends. Restaurants such as 75th Street Brewery, Free State Brewing Co., Henry T's Bar and Grill, and JB Stout's Sports Bar and Grill offer a pressure-free environment that won't put a serious dent in your checking account.
Lawrence restaurants do cater to couples looking for a quieter, more romantic evening. Paisano's and Teller's offer Italian fare and atmosphere to match. Stone Creek offers both Italian and American food complemented with an extensive wine list. Hereford House and Longhorn Steakhouse offer high-quality steaks coupled with comfortable country decor.
Those looking for a more sophisticated Valentine's Day dinner can head to the Kansas City area. In Overland Park, Nick and Jake's offers a restaurant and bar experience of a more sophisticated level than can be found in Lawrence. Bristol Bar and Grill in Leawood is known for its seafood, which is flown in fresh daily. Han Shin Japanese Steakhouse offers many different combinations of steak and seafood that is prepared while you watch by a very entertaining chef.
Those looking for the very best dining experiences the area has to offer need to go to Kansas City, Missouri. Mainstays such as The Capital Grille and Plaza III Steakhouse are a remarkably delicious way to enhance a romantic date. Both restaurants offer the highest quality steaks at prices sure to help you sweat off any weight gained on account of the meal. In addition, both have award-winning wine lists stretching price-wise well into three digits, though less-expensive alternatives are available. Jasper's Restaurant offers nationally-renown Italian selections as well as ready-to-go pastas, sandwiches and desserts in case you and your date would prefer to eat in a more intimate setting. The Melting Pot's menu includes a wide array of fondue dishes and desserts as well as private tables. An enjoyable meal is the centerpiece of a memorable Valentine's Day for you and your significant other, so make sure you have every angle covered. Gratuities are not included in the prices listed and can be very expensive when coupled with an upscale meal. Also, keep in mind that some restaurants have a dress code which may be strictly enforced. Finally, remember to make reservations as early as possible; you can't expect to walk into a restaurant on the Plaza Monday night and be seated right away.

The movie theater is a great place to start a new love or steam up an old one. Two ways to get closer to your significant other via cinema is to choose either a scary movie — for those times you just need someone to hold on to — or a romanctic comedy.
If you go with the thriller route, I'd suggest "Hide and Seek." Robert DeNiro and Dakota Fanning put on stellar performances. It's a guarantee for you guys to protect your damsel in distress. For those softies out there, "The Wedding Date" is a great Valentine's Day choice.

LOVENOTES
By Bailey DeReus, KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
There isn't a bad time to enjoy music. For Valentine's Day, or for a gift anytime during the year, a CD is something that people will always enjoy.
Mark Rosebery at Kief's Downtown Music, 823 Massachusetts St., says music is a personal preference and what is considered romantic to one person could be anything from the Beatles to Frank Sinatra. Tamyra Heim, Kief's employee, mentioned the Garden State soundtrack and Madaline Peyroux, a modern Billie Holiday blues-jazzy singer, as popular items at the store recently.
"Box sets are very good gifts to give," said Lauren Arnold and Amanda Meyers, employees at Love Garden Sounds. Some that the store has include a variety of bluegrass sets as well as a Metallica set that includes five records. Arnold and Meyers also recommended Sam Cook and Dusty Springfield as sensual music.
Iron and Wine also made their list as a gift for a significant other. "It's good for your girlfriend or boyfriend because its romantic and pretty," said Meyers.
One of the most popular CD purchases at Hastings Books Music & Video, 1900 W. 23rd St., is the Garden State soundtrack. "We always seem to be playing it here in the store and a lot of people ask about it," said Dayne Glass, Hasting's employee. "Its mellow, laid-back and everyone pretty much likes it." Glass also recommends The Killers and believes rap is currently a very popular genre.

By Audrey Lauber, KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
While most Lawrence bars may not offer champagne and a candle-lit atmosphere that typify the ideal Valentine's Day, with drink prices this low who needs romance?
Lawrence's extensive bar scene caters to the various Valentine's crowds. So whether you're in love, on the prowl or ready to drown your sorrows, you can find the right bar, and drink, for you.
Look for regular Monday night specials on Valentine's Day like dollar draws from The Crossing. $1.75 pints at Free State Brewery or$ 1.50 any bottles at Louise's Downtown.
If you're with someone special and beer just isn't setting the mood, try ordering a glass of red wine at one of Lawrence's more upscale bars such as Henry's Upstairs. Or, if you want to test your bartending skills, ask for a specialty shot like a "Chocolate Valentine," which includes Crème de Cacao, vanilla vodka, club soda and cherry juice.
If you want the perfect combination of live music and cocktails, go to the Eighth Street Taproom for its Valentine's Day folk show featuring singer-songwriter Matt Rice and stay for its $3 cocktails. Tell the bartender to add a few drops of Grenadine to give your cocktail a festive pink tint.
Other places that offer live music include The Gaslight Tavern, where you can enjoy house band "The Gaslight Players" while sipping a $2 Ad Astra. If you're solo for the night and you really want to sing the blues go to the Jazzhaus where you can take your harmonica and$ 2 well onstage to perform in a Monday night jam session.
It is February in Lawrence, so the no-smoking ban could put a chill in your red-hot evening. If you can't spend Valentine's Day without your first love nicotine seek out bars with heated smoking porches like Abe and Jake's Landing or Louise's Downtown.
On what some call the loneliest night of the year, dancing is a great way to cozy up to someone new. Buy a drink and get on the dance floor at one of Lawrence's hip dance clubs. Find your cowgirl at Coyote's or go to It's Brothers for hip-hop ladies. If you already have a dance partner and want something a little more intimate, stop by EightOneFive, which plays an eclectic mix of dance, soul and jazz.
For any number of reasons, Valentine's Day is a great excuse to go to the bars on a Monday night. If you're trying to create a memorable Valentine's Day or forget a bad one, you can always head to your favorite bar. There are as many choices on where to drink as sweethearts you can pick up along the way.

SOLID GROUNDS
By Peter Van Auken, KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Valentine's Day is another great reason to plan a charming outing with an existing or potential sweetheart, and coffee shops are the perfect place to celebrate such an occasion.
This year, Valentine's Day falls on a Monday, which means you'll probably have school work to do. Schmoozing at a coffee shop for a bit will allow you to steer clear of the booze and keep a fit mind while still enjoying yourself. Also, coffee shops are action hubs: see, be seen, move, relax, chat, whatever. If you put yourself in this type of environment, you'll defeat boredom, the latent foe of intimacy.
I often battle with the choice of drink to savor: coffee or tea. If considering your health, tea is the best selection. The caffeine in coffee can keep you up late and the sugars or sweeteners compound the problem. John "Lofty" Wiseman, author of the "SAS Survival Handbook," writes: "Tea quenches thirst — coffee aggravates it!"
But on Valentine's Day, you should choose coffee. A little caffeine intake will help stimulate conversation during your date. As a bonus, coffee goes hand-in-hand with chocolate, a V-Day tradition.
To impress your date, you may ask yourself, "How can I create the most beautiful cup of coffee?" Tall or skinny don't matter, its all about the shade. I like to try to recreate the tone of Halle Berry's skin; this means just enough whitener to color.

Saturday, Feb. 12, will be a busy day for jewelry stores in Lawrence. In the jewelry industry, the days leading up to Valentine's Day are always full of activity, a Walker's Fine Jewelry associate said. He also added that for any holiday, it is 90 percent men who do the jewelry shopping.

All six of the surveyed jewelry stores in Lawrence agreed, noting that some men come in knowing what they want, while others have looks of "Help me! I'll take anything!" on their faces. Men that wait until the last minute to buy Valentine's Day gifts seem to look at the jewelry for a long time, said a Kohl's jewelry associate.

Valentine's day jewelry trends this year include watches, diamond-stud earrings and any sterling silver and diamond combinations. Though The Etc.

New recruits strike gold for bowling team
BY JASON ELMQUIST
jelmquist@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Several newcomers have brought depth to the already durable men's and women's bowling teams.
These players' participation has affected both teams' seasons. The men have won four tournaments and the women have finished no worse than eighth place in each tournament.
The women's team, with four returning members from last year's fifth-place finish at the Intercollegiate Bowling Championship, has improved with the addition of two freshmen. The men's team, which has three returning members from last year's IBC, has relied on the play of three transfers.
Freshmen Natalie Bennett and Nikki Johannes are Kansas natives and originally decided to attend the University of Kansas because of their majors
Johannes, who is going into nursing, had not even decided to join the team until this summer. She came into the season with a bad case of tendonitis in her knee and had to take off a month before getting into the action.
"It made me work a lot harder to catch back up where everybody was supposed to be," Johannes said. "We had to change a lot of things about my game, like my bowling approach."
Bennett's and Johannes teammates consider the freshmen duo to be opposites. Bennett is the quiet, get-the-jobdone bowler. Johannes is the cheerleader, considered the motivational force of the team.
"Natalie is very quiet. She contributes a lot by making the shots and the good scores," sophomore Leanne Downey said. "Nikki's definitely more outspoken. She helps us by trying to be a more motivational person and helps us with the team's spirit."
"Natalie is very quiet. She

At the team's last tournament, the Maverick/Husker Classic, Bennett finished fifth overall and was named to the All-Tournament team. The freshmen's play has caught the team's attention.
attention.
“It’s definitely given the four of us that have come back an extra effort to stay on top of our game,” junior Kelly Sanders said. “We can’t slack off because we know they're right there behind us, and if we do they’re going to take over our spot.”
While the women have new bowlers, the men have added transfer students to their roster
Junior Dan Ahl transferred from Hudson Valley Community College last year. After he ruptured a tendon in the ring finger of his bowling hand, Ahl had to sit out the season. Sophomore Zach Taylor transferred from Nebraska after the 2002-2003 school year, but he had to sit out.
Taylor and Ahl practiced together and utilized the time to become acquainted with the program and each other. Junior Pat Eighmy joined the two this year when he transferred from Vincennes University.
Taylor said the three transfers were able to appreciate where each other came from and the changes each other had made.
"We're all a long way from home." Taylor said. "We've kind of used each other as a support group."
All transfers have brought previous experiences with them to Kansas. Ahl's bowling experience at Hudson Valley allowed him to become familiar with bowling on the east coast, while
"T they never put up a fight when we say 'We do this here' and they accept it totally.
Chris Diley Sophomore
Taylor and Eighmy are coming from strong, nationally-recognized bowling programs at Nebraska and Vincennes.
"They never put up a fight when we say, 'We do this here' and they accept it totally," sophomore Chris Dilley said. "They have all fit into the program well."
All three have had individual success, en route to team success. At the Blue and Gold Invitational, Eighy finished in second place, losing only to fellow teammate junior Rhino Page. At the Maverick/Husker Classic, Taylor finished in third place. Ahl has two top-five fin-
"There's no question in my mind, the men don't win four tournaments without Zach, Dan, and Pat," coach Mike Fine said. "Those guys are elite-caliber athletes and make all the difference in the world."
In addition to those five bowlers, the women's team has three other freshmen newcomers. They will add depth to the program, which loses only one player next season, Fine said. The men's team has six freshmen and a non-traditional student who could join the team next season.
The influx of bowlers selecting the KU bowling program is vindication of hard work, Fine said
"I think it's something that everyone on the bowling team takes a lot of pride in and a lot of ownership in." Fine said. "We have a program that people want to come to participate in or think highly of us, and that is something we all take pride in."

Big 12 freshmen phenoms show talent, maturity

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — From A to Z — Aldridge to Zeno—the Big 12 Conference is bristling with an extraordinary class of high-class freshman.

Everyone expected Texas point guard Daniel Gibson to bring a dazzling array of skills into his first season, and nobody feels let down. Gibson is averaging more than 17 points for the Longhorns.

For the moment, Kansas holds a 12-5.5 lead over Missouri in the Border Skirmish
standings, recording victories in the sports already mentioned as well as in men's cross country and soccer. With the spring season for many sports just now starting, there's still plenty of time for Missouri to make up ground. But if the games keep ending the way they have been, Kansas is heading for more victories over its rivals.

Lawrence residents began ordering Valentine's Day gifts from Englewood Florist, 1101 Massachusetts St., before Christmas, Susan Engle, owner of the florist shop, said.
Even on Valentine's Day it can be better to give than receive. Delivery drivers will bring more than smiles to the faces of Lawrence residents today.
"Unlike a pizza delivery, you expected the pizza guy because you ordered it," Engle said. "The flowers and gifts are probably going to be a surprise for about 98 percent of the people."
Engle said the florist shop started to deliver the 500 gifts to Lawrence residents earlier this weekend.
Scalping continues
She said this year the shop would carry out four times as many deliveries than it did last year. The floral shop will deliver the majority of its gifts today, but surprised Lawrence residents with gifts all weekend.
ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Engle said her delivery staff for Valentine's Day comprised 50 to 40 people.
"What makes a good worker for us is a huge block of time and that's tough with classes going on," Engle said.
The shop recruited campus organizations to help it deliver such as Young Life, the Rock Chalk Board and Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity. Eighteen to 20 students will help deliver gifts.

New policies, enforcement haven't stopped scalpers
Heavier enforcement of the University's ticket resale policy didn't deter scalpers from trying to sell tickets at the men's basketball game against Colorado on Saturday.
Department officials now walk around before games to keep scalpers from soliciting on University property, but ticket scalpers don't expect the policy to stop ticket resale at all.
James, a scalper working near Naismith Hall at Saturday's game who refused to give his last name, said he wasn't doing anything illegal. For some fans, he said, he was the only way to get a ticket to the game.
"I'm providing a service," he said.

Another ticket scalper on Saturday asked fans if they had tickets to sell on the southeast corner of the fieldhouse lawn.
Even though ticket scalpers were looking to buy and sell tickets on campus before Saturday's game against Colorado, the KU Public Safety Office didn't have to remove
anyone from campus for scalping tickets, said Sgt. Robert Linzer, KU Public Safety Office.

"Scalping is always going to happen," Goldberg said. "People are going to do anything to get into the game no matter what."
But in order for ticket scalping to stop completely, the Athletics Department would have to enforce its policy to its fullest extent, Becca Goldberg, Plano, Texas, sophomore, said.
Recently the Athletics Department began strict enforcement of its policy that prohibited solicitation on campus, including the resale of tickets at athletic events. Those caught selling tickets on campus could be charged with criminal trespass.

Kneeling on the floor, Patrick Knobloch tried to understand the rituals of the Japanese tea ceremony taking place in front of him. Attention to detail is a must, but Knobloch couldn't ignore the pain in his knees. Neither could the seven other students huddled next to him in an elevated tea room above a garage on Ohio Street.
When instructed that the hour-long ceremony was finished and that they could stand, a sigh of relief filled the small room.
"It killed my knees," Knobloch said. "I used to be a catcher in high school, but that was nothing compared to sitting like that."
Knobloch, St. Louis senior, is one of nine students who spent yesterday learning about formal Japanese tea ceremonies. The students are preparing to travel to Japan this summer as part of the Kansas/Asia Scholars program and the Center for East Asian Studies.
The tea ceremony was one of several meetings they will attend this semester to learn about Japanese culture and Lawrence history.

KU police officer shoots knife-wielding man at Med Center
A man was shot late Thursday night in a parking lot near the University of Kansas Medical Center. He is still in critical condition, according to an e-mail sent by Ed Phillips, vice chancellor for administration for the Med Center.
About 11:45 p.m. that night a Med Center police officer responded to a report that a car had driven through a fence surrounding Lot 95, near Booth Street. The officer located a man he believed to be the driver and
began to approach him.
The police officer shot the man after he produced a large knife and ran toward the officer, according to the e-mail.
The man was then transported to an area hospital. The officer was not injured.
The officer involved is currently on administrative leave while the Kansas City, Kan., police and the Med Center police jointly investigate the incident.

Fall'77 'Kansan editor speaks about past issues
Rachel Seymour/KANSAN
Jerry Seib, recipient of this year's William Allen White Foundation Award and Wall Street Journal Washington bureau chief, spoke to the crowd at Woolduff Auditorium in the Kansas Union about the value of objectivity in journalism Friday afternoon. Seib also pointed out the need to analyze both sides of a situation or fairly and discuss the idea more explicitly in the classrooms.
BY NATE KARLIN
nklarin@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The School of journalism honored one of its own last Friday, bringing Jerry Seib back to the school for its annual celebration of William Allen White.
Seib, now The Wall Street Journal Washington Bureau Chief, recalled memories and hot-topic issues when he was the editor of The University Daily Kansan in Fall 1977. During his years at the University he met his best friends and his future wife, Barbara Rosewicz, who served as Kansan editor in Spring 1978.
Seib received the William Allen White Foundation Award Friday afternoon at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The award is given annually to journalists who follow in the footsteps of William Allen White, for whom the school is named.
Title IX was an issue that was fresh in the minds of Seib and Rosewicz. Title IX is the 1972 federal code that outlawed the federal funding for sports based on sex.
It was a controversial story at the time he was Kansan editor because the law was passed before he arrived at the University, but the Athletics Department and University administration were still struggling to deal with it at the end of the decade. Seib said.
There was a lot of gray area for interpretation so no one really knew how to handle the situation, he said.
While the administration tried to make sense of the law, students were eager to see results, Seib said. Women thought the Athletics Department was moving too slowly on the issue.
They felt strongly about Title IX and wanted the process to move quickly so they could receive funding for their sports. Seib said.
Rosewicz said athletics departments around the country are conti-
uing to deal with Title IX.
"It's still a problem," Rosewicz said. "There are accusations that money for women sports is killing wrestling programs."
While Seib and Rosewicz were editors, they endured a running feud with then-athletics director, Clyde Walker.
The Kansan staff speculated at the time that this feud led Walker to resign. Rosewicz said.
Walker, who was often criticized of favoring alumni dollars over students' enjoyment, resigned the day after the final Spring issue came out, so the Kansan could not report on the situation, she said.
Walker wanted to move the KU-MU football game to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., which did not please many students. Seib said.
The Kansan editorialized the situation and the idea to move the game eventually died. Seib said.
He didn't know what the correlation was between the death of the venue change and Kansan editorialization, but the outcome was something he said he does not regret.
Dan Bowerman, who worked with Seib for the Kansan, said the basketball team was not as good as it was now.
"The popular TV show was the 'Gong Show' and people wanted to gong Ted Owens," Bowerman said. The "Gong Show" was an amateur talent show from 1976-78. If an act was horrible, judges could hit a gong at any time during the performance that ended it.
A native of Hays, Seib credits the School of Journalism for all of his accomplishments.
"I strongly suspect there has never been a recipient who appreciated this more than me," he said during his Friday speech. "Nothing makes me prouder than to say I'm a Jayhawk journalist."
About 250 people attended the ceremony.
Seib was the 57th journalist to win the award, which has been given since 1950. Other recipients of the award include Walter Cronkite and Cokie Roberts.

Two decades of silence broken
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUTCHINSON — For 20 years, Sarah Scantlin has been mostly oblivious to the world around her — the victim of a drunken driver who struck her down as she walked to her car. Today, after a remarkable recovery, she can talk again.
Scantlin's father knows she will never fully recover, but her newfound ability to speak and her returning memories have given him his daughter back. For years, she could only blink her eyes — one blink for "no," two blinks for "yes" — to respond to questions that no one knew for sure she understood.
Sarah Scantilin was an 18-year-old college freshman on Sept. 22, 1984, when she was hit by a drunk driver as she walked to her car after celebrating with friends at a teen club.
After two decades of silence, she began talking last month.
Scantlin still suffers from the effects of the accident. She habitually crosses her arms across her chest, her fists clenched under her chin. Her legs constantly spasm and thrash. Her right foot is so twisted it is almost reversed. Her neck muscles are so constricted she cannot swallow to eat.
The driver who struck Scantlin served six months in jail for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident.
Scantlin started talking in mid January but asked staff members not to tell her parents until Valentine's Day to surprise them, Trammell said. But last week she could not wait any longer to talk to them.
Scantlin's doctor, Bradley Scheel,
said physicians are not sure why she
suddenly began talking but believe critical pathways in the brain may have regenerated.
The breakthrough came when the nursing home's activity director, Pat Rincon, was working with Scantlin and a small group of other patients.
Rincon had her back to Scantlin while she worked with another resident. She had just gotten that resident to reply "OK," when she suddenly heard Sarah behind her also repeat the words: "OK, OK."
Staff members brought in a speech therapist and intensified their work with Sarah. Trammell said.
The nurses say she thinks it is still the 1980s. Family members say Scantlin's understanding of the outside world comes mostly from news and soap operas that played on the television in her room.

An alarming exile
Rachel Seymour/KANSAN
Chase Weldeman, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, sleeps on the carpet in McCollum Hall's lobby at approximately 5 a.m. Saturday. Weldeman was forced to leave his bed in Ellsworth Hall after the fire alarm went off. Several fire extinguishes were said to have been let off in the building. Ellsworth residents waited longer than the expected 30-minute time period of other false fire alarms because of the clean-up process. They were allowed to return to their rooms at approximately 6 a.m.

Sex law affects teachers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Nearly two dozen Kansas teachers have lost their certificates since 1998 amid allegations of inappropriate sexual contact with students or other children, records show.
Authorities attributed the prevalence of the cases to an increased awareness of the problem and a relatively new state law.
The 2001 law makes it a crime for a teacher to have consensual sex with a 16- or 17-year-old student. The "unlawful sexual relations" law was originally written to prevent prison guards from having sex with
willing inmates, but teachers now are bound by it as well. A conviction can carry a sentence of five to seven months in prison.
Four school employees in Wichita have lost their jobs since November amid allegations of sexual contact with students. Of the three who have been charged, two were charged under this law. The investigation continues into a fourth man.
"It used to be that a 16-year-old could have sex with a schoolteacher," said Lt. Roy Mitchell of the Wichita/Sedgwick County Exploited and Missing Child Unit. "While it was in poor
aste, it was not a crime. Now it is."
But even before the law was passed, the State Board of Education always made it a policy to revoke the license of any teacher caught having sexual contact with a student, said board attorney Kevin Ireland.
State records show that since 1998, the state has taken action in 22 cases where Kansas teachers lost their licenses or were denied a new license because they had been convicted of sex crimes involving children. He said a handful of those cases involved teachers in Missouri or Oklahoma who also had licenses to teach in Kansas.

Rav Charles' last album snags 8 Grammys
BY NEKESA MUMBI MOODY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Ray Charles, whose musical legacy erased boundaries between genres and generations, received a fitting musical eulogy last night as his final album, "Genius Loves Company," won a leading eight Grammys.
Norah Jones, won record of the year and best pop collaboration with vocals.
"I'm going to cry, actually," Jones said as she accepted the trophy for record of the year. "I think it just shows how wonderful music can be, it's at a hundred percent with Ray Charles."

Other winners included Alcia Keys and Usher, each nominated for eight Grammys. By mid-evening Keys had won four while Usher had three. They shared one award, for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals for their No. 1 duet, "My Boo."
U2 also had three awards, including best rock performance by a duo or group, while Green Day, the most nominated rock act with six nods for their politically charged punk rock opera "American Idiot," won best rock album.
"Rock 'n' roll can be dangerous and fun at the same time, so thanks a lot," lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said as he accepted the award.
Keys was chasing a record Grammy haul — she could have won more than any other woman in one evening. In 2002 Kews won five Grammys for her debut album, "Songs in A Minor," becoming only the second woman to win that many in one night. (Lauryn Hill won five in 1999; so did Jones in 2003.)
The most nominated artist of the year may be the most multifaceted — Kanye West, the songwriter-producer who made his rap debut in 2004 with the cutting-edge CD "The College Dropout." West was nominated for 10 Grammys, including album of the year. In the pre-telecast ceremony he won two, including best rap song for "Jesus Walks."
But he was upset in the best new artist category, losing to Maroon 5 in a race that also included country singer Gretchen Wilson, the Los Lonely Boys and soul siren Joss Stone.
Maroon 5's Adam Levine seemed almost apologetic after winning.
"Kanye West, I want to thank you so much for being wonderful," he said. The camera cut away to West, who looked less than pleased.
Some expected West to have a meltdown like at the American Music Awards, where he complained bitterly backstage after losing the same award to Wilson. But last night he went on to deliver an eye-popping performance of "Jesus Walks" and an emotional acceptance speech for the best ran album award.
After referencing the car accident a few years ago that almost took his life, West promised to live life to the fullest: "I plan to celebrate and scream and pop champagne every chance I get because I'M AT THE GRAM-MYS BABY!"
He also referenced his American Music Awards embarrassment. "Everybody wanted to know what would I do if I didn't win. I guess we'll never know," he said, holding his trophy up high.
At least West didn't have to wait decades to get a trophy, as did some veterans finally honored by the Recording Academy.
Steve Earle's left-leaning "The Revolution Starts ... Now" won
for contemporary folk album.
And Rod Stewart — who had complained in recent years about never winning a Grammy — won for traditional pop vocal album for his standards recording "Stardust ... The Great American Songbook Vol. III."
Brian Wilson, who released his album "Smile" after a more than three-decade wait, won best rock instrumental performance for "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow." He had never been honored before, even as leader of The Beach Boys. The big irony: the man who did more for vocal harmony than anyone in rock 'n' roll won in an instrumental category.
"I waited 42 years for this Grammy and it was well worth the wait," Wilson said backstage. "It represents triumph and achievement in music that I feel that I deserved, and I'm really glad I won."
The oft-maligned Britney Spears also won her first Grammy — best dance recording for "Toxic."
Spears wasn't present, but another newlywed was on hand: Jennifer Lopez performed a duet in Spanish with ngw hubby Marc Anthony, their first public performance together.
Other performers included Keys, who sang with "Ray" star and double-Oscar nominee Jamie Foxx; Green Day, who's rollingick performance was bleded by the censors; and U2.
Perhaps the evening's more exhilarating performance was

Spread love to friends, family today
In case you couldn't tell by the glazed-over expressions on lovestruck students, today is Valentine's Day. While many see this as a day to appreciate and spoil that special someone in their lives, some seemingly content singles have come to loathe this so-called holiday.
The history of Valentine's Day is unclear, but it was originally believed to be a pagan fertility festival called Lupercalia, according to www.historychannel.com. This festival included whipping young women on the behind with the hides of sacrificed animals. Women desired to be whipped because the action was thought to bring them a fertile year.
The Roman Catholic Church later reintroduced this day as St. Valentine's Day to commemorate the saint who wrote notes of love and encouragement while in prison, prior to his martyrdom.
The single girls living in sororities or GSP-Corbin Hall really don't care about the history of Valentine's Day when they are greeted by flowers, balloons and candy destined for someone else. The feeling is only temporary, but it makes for an interesting point: Valentine's Day can be downright exclusive. This day of celebrating so-called love can actually be a "Singles Awareness Day," making some feel isolated for not celebrating because they don't have a love interest
But this holiday no longer recognizes any historical facts. Rather, it has become a "Hallmark holiday." In fact, card sales for Valentine's Day rank second only to Christmas, according to the Greeting Card Association.
There are alternatives to this day, such as making it inclusive instead of exclusive.
Love is multi-faceted and covers a wide range of feelings, so why should this day be limited to lovers? Why not go out to dinner with friends and celebrate filial love? Or call your parents or close family members to tell them how much you care? Don't let one day make you feel lonely if you are content being single the other 364 days of the year.
For the hopeless romantics out there, today is a great excuse to finally ask out that guy or girl you've been eyeing since the beginning of the semester. And if you haven't been eyeing anybody, hit the bars — all the "taken" prospects will most likely be at restaurants or at home.
On a positive note, you could also use this day to serve others. Send a valentine to the custodian who cleans the bathrooms in your residence hall, the desks, your resident assistant, your neighbors or people living around you. You can even send valentines to soldiers overseas through Operation Dear Abby at anyservicemember.navy.mil.
It's nearly impossible to ignore the mushiness of this day. But if you truly hate the diaper-clad angel of love, you can get through the day by not celebrating or recognizing it as a day different from any other.
The bottom line is that Valentine's Day can be celebrated by anyone, whether you're single or not. Love is one of those bittersweet things that we don't understand and never will.
The late John Lennon was famous for the onliner, "All you need is love; love is all you need." Perhaps this phrase became so widely embraced because Lennon never specified a certain type of love.
So transform Valentine's Day to encompass more than just romantic love. Use it as an opportunity to remind all the special people in your life just how much you care.

Basketball fans should keep it clean at games
EDITORIAL BOARD
When the Missouri Tigers venture into Allen Fieldhouse to take on the Jayhawks, anything can happen. The two schools share one of the fiercest, longest running rivalries in all of collegiate athletics. In the latest installment of the Border Showdown on Jan. 31, tensions were out of control and sportsmanship was lost.
It wasn't until a postgame interview that Kansas men's basketball, coach Bill realized there was a vulgar chant coming out of the KU student section. The students chanted a remix of the well-known "Muck Fizzou" slogan, and Self told reporters he thought it was inappropriate. He asked the student section to quit such a classless act.
witty satire. The company that paid for the insert to be an advertisement for themselves disliked the add and has threatened to pull all advertising from the Kansan.
Self was right to be critical of the obscenities. The climate of sports today often leaves little to the imagination. When players and fans are seen brawling at a game, one has to wonder when things have gone too far. Administrators on both sides of the Kansas-Mizzou rivalry decided last year to change the image of the feud. Even though the change was based on the current military climate and not the ferocity of the rivalry itself, it was still attention that attempted to change the demeanor of the rivalry.
With all of this negativity going on at the same time, has the "Border War/Showdown" has gone too far as well? The answer, despite all of this, is no. This rivalry didn't stem from a win or a loss in any athletic arena.
The line between spirited and out-of-control fans needs to be drawn, especially during games against border rival Mizzou. Fans should realize when they go too far.
The title isn't the only portion of the "Showdown" to draw questions lately. The prominence of "Muck Fizzou" shirts and sweatshirts around campus has drawn criticism from those who believe the slogan promotes obscenities from fans.
The bitter feelings between Kansas and Missouri began during the Civil War when Lawrence was burned by a bushwhacker named William Quantrill.
An insert from The University Daily Kansan meant for students to hold during player introductions used Donald Trump's likeness to taunt Missouri's head coach, Quin Snyder. The inserts are a tradition at the University, and they are known for their
It is doubtful that many current students still hold a grudge for that attack, but it is undeniable that it is a
rivalry that was spawned from something meaningful. No matter the results of games, there will always be signs pointing back to the origination of the feud. For students and alumni on both sides of such a long-running rivalry, it's possible to find examples of bad feelings that span generations. It would be impossible to tell everyone involved that the "Showdown" doesn't matter anymore and expect tensions to simply fade. It's too deeply rooted in the history and tradition of both schools.
There is nothing wrong with rivalry. It is what makes collegiate sports so great. At the University, we're lucky to be a part of one so rich in tradition. Being a student at the University should involve, in one form or another, disliking Missouri. Camp out for the game and scream like crazy. Just make sure you do it with class, because if there's one thing we don't want, it's to be unsophisticated like those border ruffians to the east.

BOB JOHNSON

Freedom means right to privacy
Leave me alone. If there is no probable reason to suspect me of illegal or dangerous activity, I should not be bothered. Our privacy is being invaded at an ever-increasing and alarming rate in this country, and steps need to be taken to insure that it is protected. This is the United States of America, after all, not Stalinist Russia.
The Turo, Mass., Police Department kicked off a campaign to collect DNA samples from its male residents recently. The police are attempting to locate the January 2002 killer of fashion writer Christa Worthington by matching a DNA sample found on her body to the DNA of one of the Turo residents. Worthington was stabbed to death in what CNN.com calls her "isolated" Turo residence. Semen was found on the body but police have yet to make a positive DNA identification. As a result, a widespread drive for DNA sampling of local male residents has commenced. Cape Cod prosecutor Michael O' Keefe has commented that the names of those who refuse to have a swab taken of the inside of their mouth will be recorded.
Not surprisingly, the American Civil Liberties Union has stepped in and called for an end to the sampling drive.
"The mass collection of DNA samples by the police is a serious intrusion on personal privacy that has proven to be both ineffective and wasteful," said a letter from ACLU Executive Director Carol Rose and ACLU Legal Director John Reinstein to O'Keefe and Truro Police Chief John Thomas.
I can only wholeheartedly agree. According to CNN.com, mass DNA testing has experienced some success in identifying suspects in parts of Europe but has proved fruitless in similar cases in Louisiana, Nebraska and Virginia. Beyond its subpar success rate, this practice is a blatant and detestable invasion of privacy that can implicate those who choose not to comply merely because they wish to protect their own privacy. Just because I don't want somebody sticking their fingers in my mouth, I am placed on a list of suspicious characters? No, thank you. If there is no other reason to suspect me in a crime except for my geographic choice of residence, don't come knocking on my door. It is an insult to credibility and flat out embarrassing.
By the way, Kansans, our state is by no means isolated from these disturbing practices. If you think that such tactics will never reach into your community and affect the lives of people you know, you are mistaken and naive. According to Dick Kurtenbach, executive director of the ACLU of Kansbas and Western Missouri, mass DNA sampling has begun in the Wichita neighborhood where the latest victim of the BTK serial killer was discovered. Like in Massachusetts, those who refuse to participate are placed on a list that Kurtenbach worries many could construe as a "suspect" list.
Practices like mass DNA testing should be illegal. If police departments are not adept enough at doing their job without resorting to such desperate measures, better detectives need to be trained. Being an American means freedom and freedom means a right to privacy. I am not free if Big Brother is constantly peeking over my shoulder. So, like I said, leave me alone.
"There is no evidence that I am aware of where broad-based DNA gathering has been helpful to an investigation," Kurtenbach said. "Beyond that, there are obvious privacy concerns. This is much different than keeping a database of fingerprints. Not only is a DNA database invasive, the process of collecting the DNA is invasive as well. There are some very serious doubts about this practice."

News outlets demand info
BY JOHN HANNA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Six news organizations demanded information Friday about private meetings between Attorney General Phill Kline and members of the State Board of Education, saying the gatherings violated state law.
The Associated Press and five newspapers asked the board to acknowledge the meetings were illegal, promise it would not violate the Kansas Open Meetings Act again and embrace open government.
The news organizations accused Kline of trying to skirt the meetings law and asked him to explain why he wanted secret discussions with board members.
Kline, a Republican, met Tuesday with the six Republicans who form a conservative majority on the 10-member board. He has said he discussed education funding in two separate meetings, each with three board members.
Kline also has said that in the meetings, he offered to defend putting stickers in science textbooks saying evolution is a theory, not a fact, should the board consider such a policy.
The news organizations made their demands in separate letters to Kline and the board from Mike Merriam, a Topeka attorney representing them. Merriam said his clients are willing to consider a lawsuit against the board if it does not respond adequately.
"It's really bad because it's so intentional," Merriam said. "This was no mistake. This was planned ahead."
Both board attorney Dan Biles and Kline spokesman Whitney Watson said they believe the meetings were legal because they involved only three board members each.

According to womensports foundations.org. NGWSD is sponsored primarily by seven national organizations that comprise the National Girls and Women in Sport coalition. The American Association of University Women; Girls Incorporated; Girl Scouts; National Association for Girls and Women in Sport; National Women's Law Center; the Women's Sports Foundation
and the YWCA all lend support to the dav of recognition.
Outside of Kansas, other events including sports clinics, luncheons and award ceremonies take place throughout February.
The attendance at yesterday's game for NGWSD represented the fourth largest crowd of the season for the women's basketball team.
"There was a lot of energy for our team and we really appreciate it." Henrickson said.
Both the softball and tennis teams could not attend due to athletic competitions. Softball played at the Hilton Classic in Las Cruces, N.M., and the tennis team took on No. 14 Texas in Overland Park.

Cody Wolcott, Hays sophomore, said that students reselling their tickets was a common occurrence in the residence halls.
"You walk around the halls and see fliers and signs everywhere saying that tickets are for sale," Wolcott said. "But they usually aren't charging ridiculous prices for their tickets."
Wolcott said that the ticket policy wouldn't have much of an effect on students reselling tickets to other students. Those who can't go to a game usually have no problem finding someone to buy their ticket.
He also said that because getting tickets to men's basketball games is so competitive, ticket re-selling would still go on no matter what the policy of the Athletics Department was.
"It might stop people from standing on a street corner and selling tickets," Wolcott said. "But it's still gonna go on."

students experience an important part of Japanese culture so they would have a better idea of what to expect. At least one student has gone step further in preparation than the organized meetings.
Knobloch said he was drinking green tea and eating new vegetables each week because these items are served so often in Japan. But that didn't quite prepare him for the tea ceremony, he said.
"It was a lot different from the stuff I've been drinking," Knobloch said. "I don't think I could ever get used to that."
In addition to lessons about Japan, students will learn about broader issues, such as sustainability.
Sustainability is defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development as "meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." This is an especially important concept in Japan, where space and natural resources are limited. Graham said.

Yesterday's victory against Colorado showcased the changing fortunes of two Big 12 Conference teams.
Different season. Different teams. Two different directions.
As frustration and impatience ate away at a struggling Colorado squad, Kansas kept its cool and rolled to an easy victory, 76-54. The 22-point margin marked the largest conference victory since March 1, 1997 when Kansas beat Oklahoma 92-69.
"What Kansas showed was more discipline in their shot selection," Colorado coach Ceal Berry said. "They stayed with
their game plan and did what they needed to do."
The outcome also gave the Jayhawks, 11-11 (4-7 Big 12), their highest number of Big 12 Conference victories since the 2000-01 season when they notched five conference triumphs.
Before this season's twogame sweep of Colorado, Kansas was mired in an eight-game losing streak to the Buffaloos. This season, however, Colorado, 8-14 (1-10), has fallen to last place in the league, while Kansas has risen to eighth place. Nearly one year ago Colorado finished out the conference schedule in third place while Kansas ended up 11th in the 12-team conference.
While struggling to convert
offensive opportunities, Kansas allowed Colorado to stay in the game for most of the first half. The Jayhawks traded the lead three times in the first 20 minutes and did not seem ready to pull away.
Backup point guard Yari Escalera proved to be the spark off the bench for the Buffalooes and helped them stay within striking distance.
"I thought Escalera came off the bench and ran the team very well." Berry said.
When physical fatigue set in for Colorado, its shot selection suffered and Kansas took full advantage by extending its three-point lead to nine in the final 1:30 of the half. The

Kansas rocks Colorado
BY KELLIE ROINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANKSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas pulled away from Colorado late on Saturday, but after the 89-60 victory, both the players and coaches talked more about their upcoming games than their recent triumph.
"We can't think about this win too much," senior guard Aaron Miles said. "We need to focus in on Texas Tech."
Indeed, the Jayhawks need to turn their full attention to their six remaining conference games, because their closing schedule is difficult. After Saturday's victory, they sit atop the Big 12 standings with a perfect 10-0 record. But with remaining games at Texas Teeh, Oklahoma and Missouri, and a home match against Oklahoma State, the race for the Big 12 regular-season title is very much alive.
"Our three toughest road games will all be coming up, and we still have tough home games," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We still have a lot to play for and a lot of tough games ahead of us."
"It certainly wasn't the atmosphere we've had the last two times we played at home." Self said. "That's not the crowd's fault. Obviously our guys didn't have the same energy level early."
Kansas players and fans alike seemed to take Saturday's game against Colorado for granted. In front of a quiet, albeit sold out, crowd, Kansas led Colorado by only single digits for the first 28 minutes.
With 11:52 remaining in the game Colorado, junior forward Julius Ashby hit a lay-up that pulled the Buffaloes within seven points of the lav hawks at 57-50.
Just as it seemed Colorado was in striking range of Kansas, there was a media time-out, and Self challenged his team to put the game away so he could empty the bench.
"He told us we sucked," senior guard Keith Langford said. "We shouldn't be up on Colorado by single digits at home. When we play like that we're only fooling ourselves."
The motivational speech worked, and from that point on the game belonged to Kansas.
KANSAS
11
Langford started attacking the defense, and in a span of 10 minutes, Kansas went on a 32-8 run and increased its lead to 31 points.
"I looked up, and we were up nearly 30 points," Langford said. "We saw what can happen when we put our foot on someone's throat."
As promised, Self removed his starters for the last three and a half minutes of the game. Kansas

Tech gets in the zone to face Kansas
Despite falling in Ames, Iowa, on Saturday, Texas Tech is still a good team.
Until the defeat this weekend, the team played some of the best basketball in the conference. No one would have thought Texas Tech was going to have a good year. They lost Andre Emmitt to graduation, and what a huge loss that should have been. Emmitt was a three-time first team all-Big 12 selection during his career with the Red Raiders. He averaged more than 20 points per game.
Like he has done so many times before, however, Tech coach Bobby Knight found a way to make something out of nothing. The Red Raiders were picked to finish seventh in the conference by position to make the NCAA Tournament. They are third in the Big 12 with a 7-3 conference record.
Knight's lead scorer, Ronald Ross, was a nice role player last season, averaging more than 10 points per game. Now he's averaging more than 17 points. Knight's team is also efficient. The team is shooting nearly 50 percent from the field and is out rebounding its opponents.
Knight may be the best X's and O's coach in America because he is able to get his team mentally prepared for each opponent they face. Tonight's game should be no different.
I am sure that Knight will have concocted a zone defense that will cause fits for the Kansas big men. If Kansas is able to beat the zone, like they did in the second half against Colorado, it could be a long night for Texas Tech, no matter how well-coached they are.
Because of Tech's lack of strength inside, the zone will be crucial. Of the team's top-four leading scorers, Devonne Giles is the only forward. Giles will likely be guarded by junior forward Christian Moody or whichever Jayhawk forward is playing opposite of senior forward Wayne Simien
Leading the Red Raiders in rebounds is Giles, with 6.5 per game. And while the team averages more rebounds than its opponents, this will be the first time the Red Raiders will face an inside force as great as Simien. Simien took the Big 12 scoring lead this weekend and has maintained a firm lock on the rebounding title, all season. Simien will cause fits for the Red Raider front line tonight.
Knight is a genius in terms of preparing for games. He may go a little crazy sometimes, but as far as his basketball knowledge is concerned, there is no one better. He is one of the best coaches of all time, but unfortunately, he will likely be remembered for his antics than for his coaching.
This is a critical game for both teams. The Red Raiders desperately need to rebound from the loss to Iowa State. They also need another marquee victory to impress the NCAA selection committee. For the Jayhawks, a victory in Lubbock will move them closer to their goal of finishing the conference season undefeated.
Tonight's game in Lubbock and next week's game in Norman, Okla., will be the only difficult road games left for Kansas.

High-powered offense and a stronger pitching staff propelled the Stanford Cardinal past the Jayhawks in a three-game sweep over the weekend.
Games one and two of the series proved preseason No. 5 Stanford's ranking correct. Stanford (7-2) handily defeated the Jayhawks, 7-3 and 9-2 respectively. A Friday night rainout forced games one and two to be played back-to-back on Saturday. The series finale was played as scheduled, but also resulted in a 7-6 Kansas loss.

In the third game, the Kansas baseball team drew closer than the previous two games by tying it at six runs anpiece in the ninth inning.
Stanford reliever Matt Manship, junior right-hander, picked up the victory, while Kansas freshman Logan Murphy, left-hander, took the loss. Murphy threw 1.1 innings, walking three and surrendering the winning run.
Heading into the ninth inning behind 6-1, the Jayhawks awoke offensively and scored five runs. Juniors Matt Baty, outfielder, and Ritchie Price, shortstop, led the way, each going 2 for 5 at the plate. Price put up two RBI and Baty added one. Gus Milner, junior outfielder, went 2 for 4 with an RBI.

Although the Jayhawks out hit the Cardinals 12-11 in the finale, the hits were not timely and could not prevent the sweep.
Game two also handed Kansas an opportunity for a victory, as the team lead 2-0 through the sixth inning. Price and senior catcher Sean Richardson each ripped an RBI single in the first inning.
It was in the bottom of the sixth when Stanford erupted for seven runs off of five hits. Kansas starter Clint Schambach, senior right-hander, threw a solid five innings before giving up four runs in the sixth. He was relieved by Michael Fitch, senior right-hander, who came in and immediately gave up a three-run homer. It was the first of Mayberry's two in the series. Schambach took the loss on the mound for Kansas. Stanford's Jeff Gilmore, junior right-hander, picked up the series' second win.
Baty, Kansas' first batter of the first inning, was picked off in the first game of the series, and appeared to indicate where the series was headed.
Seniors Jacob Jean and Scott Sharpe saw time on the mound. Sharpe threw two shut out innings to end the second game.
All three Kansas runs came off the bat of two hitters. Baty went 3 for 5 with one RBI and Milner hit two solo home runs. Sophomore lefty Sean Land, received the loss for Kansas. Land threw six innings and surrendered all seven runs. Sharpe came in to throw his first two shutout innings of the day.
Stanford's Mark Romanczuk, junior left-handed pitcher, took the victory, giving up only two runs in 7.1 innings of work.
Stanford outscored Kansas 23-11 in the series.

Kelley, Lawrence junior, lifted 55 kilograms (121 pounds) in the snatch and 70 kilograms (154 pounds) in the clean-and-jerk for at total of 125 kilograms (276 pounds), winning all three categories in the 48-kilogram (106-pound) weight class in both the collegiate and 23-under competitions.
Kelley said she was satisfied with her performance, but that she could have done better.
"I actually totaled 130 in training," said Kelley, who is ranked 19th in the nation overall and first in her weight class by USA Weightlifting. "But I made a couple of errors."
Her personal best is 127.5 kilograms (281 pounds). She set that at the National Championships last year where she placed third.
Kelley's next national competition will be the National Championships May 6-8 in Cleveland. She said she will probably need to lift at least 132 kilograms (291 pounds) at the meet to qualify for the University World Championships in July in Lille, France, which she said is her ultimate goal.

Knight's Tech 'hungry'
AFTER

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Texas Tech coach Bob Knight argued with an official during the first half of last year's game at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks take their undefeated conference record to Lubbock, Texas, to take on the Red Raiders on their home turf tonight at 8 p.m.
KANSAN of theeme
Kansas will face a tough conference opponent when it takes the floor against Texas Tech at 8 tonight in Lubbock, Texas.
Texas Tech (15-6, 7-3 Big 12) will be motivated heading into the Big Monday match-up, coming off an 81-68 defeat at Iowa State.
"They'll be mad," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "They got beat in Hilton Coliseum and I'm sure coach Knight will have them fired up and ready. I'm sure it will be a great atmosphere."
Legendary Texas Tech coach Bob Knight has never defeated Kansas while a coach in Lubbock, Texas. Kansas is 15-1 all-time against Texas Tech.
Before its defeat at Iowa State, Texas Tech was playing its best basketball of the season. The team scored at least 83 points in four straight conference victories, and the 13-point defeat in Ames, Iowa, appears to be the exception, rather than the norm.
If the Jayhawks are to extend their all-time record against the Red Raiders to 16-1, they will need to defend the old-school motion offense that Knight's team runs.
"They're going to be hungry coming off their loss," senior forward Wayne Simien said. "We know they'll be well-coached, and being a road game, we know they'll play us pretty tough down there."
"It's the easiest to prepare for and the hardest to play." Self said. "You can't really say these are their plays, and this is what they do. They execute in the half-court offense as good as anybody."
Senior guard Aaron Miles agreed, and said Kansas would need to play good defense all night if it wanted to win.
"The easiest people to guard are players that stand." Miles said. "Texas Tech does a lot of movement, and their players are never standing in one spot."
Senior guard Ronald Ross leads the way for Texas Tech, as he averages 17.1 points per game. In some ways he is Texas Tech's equivalent of Christian Moody. Though Ross now plays with a scholarship, he was not offered one as a freshman.
Sophomore guard Jarius Jackson, who averages 15.2 points per game, follows Ross. Jackson won Big 12 Player of the Week honors last week after averaging 28.5 points in two games against Oklahoma and Colorado.
The Monroe, La., native recorded back-to-back career highs. First he scored 25 points against the Buffalooes. Then he posted a 32-point performance at Oklahoma, which helped end the Sooners' 14-game home winning streak.

Second half lifts Tar Heels
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
BY JIM O'CONNELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD, Conn. — Rashad McCants and Raymond Felton had big second halves yesterday to help No. 2 North Carolina bounce back from a tough defeat with a 77-70 victory against No. 19 Connecticut.
McCants had 11 of his 15 points in the second half for North Carolina, while Felton had 14 of his 16 points and seven of his 10 assists in the final 20 minutes.
The performances by the junior stars enabled the Tar Heels (20-3) to leave the court at the Hartford Civic Center with
smiles on their faces instead of the stunned looks they wore following the last-play breakdown in a 71-70 defeat at No. 7 Duke on Wednesday night.
Connecticut led 34-31 after a first half that was played at the pace the Huskies were looking for. The second half was more to the liking of the Tar Heels, who lead the nation in scoring at 91.2 points per game.
McCants started the game by missing seven of his first nine shots, but the three-pointer capped a run where he made four of six shots from the field and scored nine points in as many minutes.
He came up with an offensive rebound on the missed front end of a 1-and-1 by Marvin Williams and fed it back to him for a basket. Then he made a pass to Williams on the wing and the freshman hit a jumper as the shot clock expired that made it 73-63 with 1:48 left.
Felton hit a three-pointer with 12:10 left to break the game's final tie and give North Carolina a 51-48 lead. That started a 16-6 run that was capped with McCants' only 5 of the game that made it 64-54 with 7:54 to go.
When Connecticut closed within 67-63 on a driving basket by Williams, McCants was the kev to the Tar Heels' 8-0 run

In addition to shooting problems, Colorado had serious problems handling the ball and consequently handed the game to Kansas.

guards Kaylee Brown and Erica Hallman combined for 35 points and hit eight of 15 three-point attempts.
As Brown's 17 points and Hallman's game-high 18 points and eight assists opened up the perimeter, junior forward Crystal Kemp took over inside.
"When Erica's hitting and Kaylee's hitting we play with more confidence," Henrickson said. "I think we play a little more loosely."

her only one point shy of the 1,000-point mark for her career. A score against Texas Tech on Wednesday would make her the 18th all-time, 1,000-point-scorer at Kansas. After collecting her 500th rebound on Feb. 9 at Oklahoma State, the scoring mark would make her the 11th player to hit both milestones.
"It's overwhelming in a way, but I am really excited about it," Kemp said. "It's going to be a long three days. I will probably lose a little sleep tonight, especially over missed shots that I overshot because of adrenaline and being so excited."

"It was nice to let those guys get off their feet," Self said. "But I thought if we'd have played right in the first half, we could have done it earlier."
"I got some free looks from the free-throw line and stepped up, and they were falling today," Simien said.
The game started off sluggish with Kansas finding offense from only its two starting forwards. Junior forward Christian Moody was in perfect position, down low, several times and scored nine first-half points while pulling down six rebounds.
Simien got to the charity stripe so often because of Colorado's foul trouble. He abused their situation for the remainder of the game and finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds.
Senior forward Wayne Simien scored 15 first-half points, including making 11 free throws in 11 attempts in the first half.
Freshman forward C.J. Giles saw his first action since playing against Nebraska, and played six minutes in place of Simien, but
In the second half, Kansas held Colorado without a field goal for the opening 4 minutes before letting Colorado pull within seven. The intensity Miles brought to the floor accounted for much of the improved defensive play.
"I had a lot of fun; I wish I'd have been out there more," Giles said. "I think I'll be ready for the next game, at Texas Tech."
Miles rebounded from a poor game at Kansas State, in which he committed eight turnovers. But on Saturday he dished out nine assists, committed only two turnovers and scored 17 points.

Miles said he was pleased with his performance, but was most satisfied with the victory.

"Of course you want to play better," Miles said. "The key is the win, though. I don't like having eight turnovers, but if we win with eight turnovers than I can live with it."
Freshman forward Alex Galindo suited up in Saturday's game but did not see any action. Self said that Galindo was still not at 100 percent, and he did not want to rush him back into game situations.

BY GREG BEACHAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONOLULU — Peyton Manning was still at the peak of his game in the Pro Bowl, and Michael Vick showed he's only beginning the climb.
Manning threw three touchdown passes to extend his career record in the NFLs allstar game, while Vick led the NFC to 17 points in a second-half comeback that fell short in the AFC's 38-27 victory yesterday.
Pittsburgh's Hines Ward caught a touchdown pass and returned an onside kick for a score, and three Chargers stars led the clinching TD drive in the fourth quarter of the AFC's seventh victory in nine meetings.
Manning, the regular-season MVP after breaking Dan Marino's NFL record with 49 touchdown passes, completed just six passes for 130 yards. But three were spectacular scoring tosses, and the Colts quarterback was named the MVP in his fifth trip to the Pro Bowl.
The game didn't quite have the offensive fireworks of last season's 107-point marathon, but Manning and Vick thrilled the 26th straight sellout crowd at Aloha Stadium with exhibitions of their strengths: Manning's expert throws and Vick's jaw-dropping elusiveness and creativity.
Manning has thrown 11 TD passes in the Pro Bowl, four more than any quarterback in NFL history. He hit Colts teammate Marvin Harrison, Ward and San Diego's Antonio Gates in the first 25 minutes while the AFC built a 28-10 halftime lead.
The NFC got within 31-27 on David Akers' field goal, but the AFC's San Diego connection took over. Drew Brees hit Gates for a 33-yard gain on a flea-flicker play selected by fans in an online vote, and LaDainian Tomlinson finished the drive with a 4-yard TD run with 5:15 to play.
But Vick was determined to make a splash in his first trip to Hawaii — and with the Atlanta coaching staff calling the plays, he led three straight scoring drives after entering the game in the third quarter. Vick was 14-of-24 for 205 yards and a score, nimbly avoiding several sacks along the way.
Harrison scored on a 62-yard pass from his Indianapolis teammate in the first quarter, tying Jimmy Smith's career
It was the first touchdown on a kickoff return in the 55-year history of the Pro Bowl.
record with his fifth Pro Bowl touchdown. Ward followed with a 41-yard TD catch on a pinpoint throw from Manning, and he celebrated with a goofy hula dance with Vili the Warrior, the University of Hawaii's mascot.
Philadelphia's Brian Westbrook scored on a 12-yard run later in the half — but when the NFC tried an onside kick, Ward leaped for the ball and outran several defenders, avoiding tackles and somersaulting through the end zone.
Vick went 4-of-6 and hit Torry Holt for a 27-yard touchdown play in the first series of his first Pro Bowl appearance. Vick, a four-year veteran, had to drop out of the 2003 game with an injury.
Vick led another scoring drive moments later, diving over the goal line for a 3-yard score — even though his helmet was knocked off his head by
While Manning and Vick starred, the Super Bowl quarterbacks had considerably quieter days. NFC starter Donovan McNabb went 1-for-8 with an interception, while Tom Brady was 4-for-9 for 48 yards in two series yielding one field goal.
Baltimore's Ed Reed, the NFLs defensive player of the year.

Mangino announces coaching changes
In the offseason, football coaching changes are frequent.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday the hiring of two new coaches.
John Reagan will replace Ed Warinner as the team's offensive line coach and Tim Beck will replace Tyrone Dixon as the team's wide receivers coach.
"First and foremost, John and Tim are teachers."
Along with Reagan's offensive line coach responsibilities he will also work as the team's offensive run-game coordinator. Reagan most recently served as the offensive line coach at the Air Force Academy. Reagan has had previous coaching stops at Temple University, The University of Akron, The University of Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma State University. Reagan played
Mangino said. He said their enthusiasm and ability to relate to the players would make them excellent additions to the staff.
college football for Syracuse University and started for three years at center.
Rivals.com has reported that Warinner, who Reagan replaces, will take the offensive line position at Illinois under new coach Ron Zook.
Tim Beck was coach of Summit High School in Mansfield, Texas, before being hired by Mangino. Beck was named coach of the year in his district in 2003 after leading Summit to its first ever playoff appearance.
Beck has coached other teams in the state of Texas and
also served as offensive coordinator for Southwest Missouri State and was a graduate assistant at Kansas State. Beck played quarterback, wide receiver and punter at The University of Central Florida.
Kansas has yet to fill its vacant running backs coaching position. Former running backs coach Pat Henderson left the team to work for the University's Williams Educational Fund.

Men's team sets records in Hawaii
BY TIM HALL
hall@kansan.com
KANAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas men's golf team finished play at the Taylor Made/Waikoloa Intercollegiate Golf Tournament Friday in Hilo, Hawaii, where it tied for 11th place.
Despite a second-round slump, the Jayhawks were still able to finish strong and rewrite the Kansas golf record books as the team fired the lowest tournament score in Kansas history.
"I thought that we played real
well as a team although we had a poor second round," coach Ross. Randall said. "Even though everyone was shooting real good scores, you still have to make good shots and make good putts, and we did that."
The Jayhawks finished the tournament 31 under par as a team, making 56 birdies and four eagles.
"I had never heard of anything like it in all my years of coaching golf." Randall said. "It was almost like everyone was playing pitch-n-putt out there."
Oklahoma State took full advantage of the 6,800 yard golf course. They led in all three rounds and took home the championship. Oklahoma State won the tournament by seven strokes, posting a team score of 801 - 63 under par.
Kansas posted a third round score of 274, which was 13 strokes better than the team score of 287 that the Jayhawks fired in the second round. Sophomore Tyler Docking, shot a final round 72 and a three-round total 206 to finish the tour. Senior Kevin Ward shot a
final round five under 67 and a three round total of 206 as well.
The strong finish by the Jayhawks can be credited to senior golfer Andrew Price, who achieved a third round score of 63, which was not only his career-low score, but also tied the lowest score in Kansas history. Price's round of nine under stands alone as the lowest round-to-par in Kansas' history.
Ryan Vermeer is the only other golfer in Kansas history to shoot a 63 in tournament play. Vermeer shot an eight under par round of 63 in the Western Intercollegiate
as the Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif., in 2000.
Price bounced back from a second round score of 75 to shoot the low round of the tournament and finish in a tie for 24th. His scorecard was without a blemish as he carded nine birds and nine pars. The second round 75 did not have any mental effect on Price, as he was able to rely on his swing in the final round.
"I had a pretty bad second round, but I felt really good practicing that afternoon and the next morning before the start of the third round." Price said. "I just
had to get my alignment squared. I knew it wasn't going to be a problem and I knew I was going to go low in the final round because I just felt really good."
Junior Pete Krenski shot a three round total of 217 and sophomore Gary Woodland carded a three round total of 219 to round out the Jayhawks.
Kansas set another school record as well. The first round team score of 16 under par was the lowest single round in Kansas tournament-play history.

BIG 12
Lagging Longhorns
Big 12 Conference teams fall behind; Kansas on track
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If the Big 12's going to cash a bigger NCAA tournament check than it did last year, Texas had better get its short-handed act together in a hurry.
Or maybe Iowa State — yes, Iowa State — will ride to the rescue. The streaking Cyclones, once given up for dead, are turning into one of the Big 12's most intriguing stories.
The good old days for the Big 12, not so long ago, saw six teams get into the NCAA tourney and swell conference coffers with all that tournament money. Then last year only four teams made it. Now, with Texas lacking healthy players, that could happen again.
With only a couple of weeks to go in the regular season, No. 3 Kansas (20-1, 10-0 Big 12) is angling for a No. 1 seed as well as an unbeaten conference season. No. 10 Oklahoma State (19-3, 9-2), is also certain to be right there.
Beyond that, things get murky. No. 25 Texas Tech (15-6, 7-3) and No. 16 Oklahoma (17-6, 6-4) each sustained hurtful losses on Saturday. But they have the players, the well known coaches and probably the records that are good enough to qualify unless the bottom drops out between now and Selection Sunday on March 13.
The problem for the Big 12 could be Texas (16-7, 5-5). The Longhorns could be in trouble even though they won a game they absolutely had to have on Saturday, getting 14 points in overtime from Daniel Gibson to put away Kansas State 75-72.
Only once since the Big 12 was formed in 1996 have the Longhorns failed to make the NCAA tournament. But they can't afford to falter any more during the regular season. Gibson and his teammates have six games left and will need to go at least 3-3 to be in decent position going into the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City.
Road games are Baylor, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. Left at
home are Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Missouri. Baylor seems like a winnable road game, and Missouri hasn't won on anyone's floor but its own all year.
Oklahoma and Texas Tech, in the meantime, did themselves no favors Saturday with losses on the road. The Sooners blew a big lead and lost in overtime 68-65 to Missouri (11-13, 3-8), which had lost eight of nine.
Texas Tech became the latest victim in the resurrection of Iowa State. The Cyclones (13-8, 5-5) came up with one of their best efforts of the season with an 81-68 victory over the Red Raiders, who had won seven of eight.
Iowa State lost six straight and everyone wondered if they would go winless through the conference schedule. Now they've won five straight.
No one is thinking they might catch up with Kansas, but the Cyclones are making at least a modest little move. Still to go are three winnieable home games — against Kansas State, Nebraska and Missouri.

Who needs love...
THE STORY OF OUR (UN)LUCKY WINNER, BRIAN:
So why do I have the worst love life on campus? Let's start with counting up how many dates I've been on during college: three. And one of those was a concert sophomore year that my date probably didn't know was a date. Now if I were a sophomore or junior, that wouldn't be so bad. But I'm a fifth year senior. I've been here for four and a half years. That means I'm averaging a date every 18 months while I've been at college. Let's just ignore the fact that there haven't been any second dates and move on.
Sure, my dating life is poor, but do I get random hookups at parties? Wrong. Despite the fact that I live in a party house, I have yet to master the skill of picking up a girl at a party. Sadly, throwing a party requires a certain level of sobriety that impedes drunken flirting. So while everybody else hooks up, I get to clean up beer cans and plastic cups.
for a few months. I've been single this entire millennium.
With all this woe, you might be wondering when my last meaningful relationship was. It was the fall of 1999, during my senior year of high school. It only lasted about two months before she dumped me for my friend who was attending Texas A&M. Some people might get depressed being single for four years, but here single this entire millennium
So that's my sad story. If anybody can top that, they need the limo more than me.
When you've got a limo? Thanks to

LUBBOCK, Texas — While watching thousands of Texas Tech fans rush onto the court last night, one fact became clear. This wasn't a good year for Kansas to play Texas Tech.
Not only did the Red Raiders (16-6, 8-3 Big 12) hand the Jayhawks (20-2, 10-1) their first conference loss of the season, but last September the Jayhawk football team blew a 25-point lead against the Red Raiders.
Scott McClurg/Lawrence Journal-World Aaron Miles dishes the ball back out after driving the lane in the second half of the game last night. Miles made two three-point shots at the end of regulation and helped the Jayhawks come back from a seven-point deficit.
Just like in the football game, Texas Tech claimed victory with some last-second heroics. Texas Tech sophomore forward Darryl Dora nailed a three-point shot over a leaping freshman forward Sasha Kaun with 3.7 seconds remaining in double overtime to lift Bob Knight's team to an 80-79 victory.
"It's my fault because I didn't tell the guys 'whatever you do don't let them shoot a three," Self said.
Kansas led by two points before Dora's shot, but on the previous play senior guard Aaron Miles received a questionable traveling call, giving Texas Tech another chance.
In an attempt to save the game in the last seconds, Miles took the ball up past half-court and put up a desperation shot that bounded off the backboard.
By the time the ball fell back to the earth, what seemed like the entire Texas Tech student body was on the court celebrating its team's biggest victory of the season.
"You don't want to sound like a whiner so we're not going to," coach Bill Self said. "You can see Aaron's face. It's unfortunate that it came down to that one call."
"It's nice that we won in spectacular fashion with a three-pointer to end the game," Knight said. "No one dislikes the three-point shot more than me, but I told the guys if they had an open three with time winding down to take it."
The victory was up for grabs the entire way through the game. Texas Tech held a seven-point lead, the biggest of the game during the first half. Kansas was up by five, its biggest lead, in double overtime.
Doras' three-pointer spoiled two critical plays from Jayhawk players.
Late in regulation play, senior guard Keith Langford ran down the court and hit a driving layup with 4.1 seconds remaining to force overtune. Junior forward

No more doctors' notes at Watkins
Excuses may become less common with new policy
BY TY BEAVER
tbeaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Watkins Memorial Health Center may stop issuing doctors' notes beginning in the Fall 2005 semester, said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins.
The staff has not decided on an official policy yet. It will consult students and faculty in small groups later this semester before making a decision, Denning said. But a new policy is likely to pass.
Students who miss class because of illnesses for less than three days will have to work one-on-one with instructors to excuse absences.
Much of the physicians' time at Watkins, east of Robinson Center, is spent dealing with students who want absences from a class, she said.
The change is meant to give students faster medical attention and reduce bookkeeping, Denning said.
Denning doesn't see a need for Watkins to be involved between professors and students.
"We're trying to excuse ourselves from this triangle where they want us to be the policemen." she said.
The University of Kansas is the only school in the Big 12 Conference that uses this system. Denning said.
Professors have required doctors' notes as evidence of illness for at least 15 years, she said.
The new policy will make it harder to excuse students, said

KU Med Center police use deadly force for first time
BY JOHSUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSAST WORK WRITER
A man shot by a KU Medical Center police officer late last Thursday night is still in critical condition, said Elaine Moore, Kansas City, Kansas Police Department officer.
A University police officer shot the man after he ran toward him with a large knife, according to a statement released by the Kansas City, Kansas Police Department.
The University of Kansas Medical Center Police Department had never used deadly force until the incident, said Bob Hallinan, senior media
relations coordinator for the Med Center.
"It's a first," Hallinan said. "They've never had to shoot anyone in the line of duty before."
The officer was investigating a car that had reportedly driven through a fence surrounding a parking lot near the Med Center. Police said the man then ran at the officer with a knife.
The officer shot the man,
ending the assault at 11:45 p.m.
The man was then transported to a Kansas City, Mo., hospital.
The name of the suspect has not been released.
Officials at the Med Center's police department could not comment on the shooting because it is under investigation.
But both the Med Center police department and the KU Public Safety Office have a similar policy regarding its officers' use of deadly force.
The two departments are separate entities that are managed by the chancellor's office.
KU Public Safety officers may only use deadly force when the officer's life or the life of another person is in danger, or to stop a dangerous fleeing felon Capt. Schuyler Bailey said.
Bailey added that during his time with the KU Public Safety Office, no officer had ever drawn his weapon and fired on a suspect.

The Mortar Board honor society wants one student to enjoy a day with Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director.
DONATE $1 TO WIN A DAY WITH LEW PERKINS
The honor society will hold a fundraising campaign called "Learning with Lew" Feb. 16-18. Students will be placed in a drawing for every suggested donation of $1. The Mortar Board will draw the winner on Friday.
Money generated from the fundraiser will go toward a bronze plaque that will recognize winners of the Outstanding Educator Award for years to come, said Jeffrey Robinson, Mortar Board treasurer. The award, which is voted on by the 40-member honor society, recognizes teachers who have impacted the senior class, Robinson said. Approximately five educators will be selected this year. Future winners will added to the plaque each year.

The plaque, which will cost between $1,000 and $2,000, will be placed in the Kansas Union.
"We just wanted to make a more permanent recognition with an ultimate purpose." Robinson, Garnett senior, said.
The Mortar Board, which began in 1918, is a national honor society for college seniors who excel in ability
and achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, according to the KU Mortar Board Web site.
It was the first national honor society to honor senior women at universities. Men were not admitted until 1975, but it maintained its commitment to honoring the status of women, the Web site says. The honor society at the University began in 1912, but was not incorporated into the national Mortar Board until 1924.

Schools want insured students
UNIVERSITY LIFE
BY JOHN SEEWER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOLEDO, Ohio — A growing number of public universities are requiring that students have health insurance before they step into the classroom, a move aimed at saving the uninsured from huge bills and college hospitals from getting stuck with the cost.
Most public universities still leave the decision up to students, who can buy into a school's student health care plan or obtain their own insurance. Surveys from insurers and schools, however, indicate that anywhere from 10 percent to 30 percent do not have insurance. Most are still covered under their parents' plans.
College officials also are finding that some students are forced to drop out when faced with the medical expenses.
"What makes it a tough decision is the potential added costs," said Jim Mitchell, director of student health services at Montana State, which has required insurance for nearly 20 years. "But there's compelling reasons to do it."
More schools have started mandating the coverage in the past four years. Hospitals no longer absorb the costs because of increasing health care expenses.
Connecticut, Ohio State and all 10 universities within the California system now require health insurance. Utah is looking into it.
"I t can happen to any one, at any time, and
Others, including Old Dominion, Kent State and South Dakota's board

Some schools have resisted mandatory coverage, fearing extra costs will push students to other colleges. Still, others worry students already are burdened with huge loans and rising tuition.
of regents, have decided against the idea.
"We may be pricing students out of college," said Alex Wright, president of the student government at Bowling Green State.
The costs to uninsured students can be staggering when they're hospitalized.
For example, a student at Old Dominion, in Norfolk, Va., had $100,000 in medical bills stemming from injuries in a car accident, said Jenny Foss, director of student health services.
"Students can take care of their car
repairs, but they may not be able to take care of their injuries," she said.
In extreme cases, the student is forced to declare bankruptcy.
Allowing students to decide whether they want health insurance can dilute a school's health plan when few buy into it. Often, Foss said, it's mainly students with health problems who purchase coverage, driving up the number of claims and costs.
Old Dominion discontinued its health insurance plan a year ago only 400 of its 20,000 students were using it. That's despite a school survey that showed about 4,000 students had no health coverage.
Glenn Egelman, director of student health at Bowling Green, noted that something as common as appendicitis could result in a big medical bill.
"It can happen to anyone, at any time, and it can definitely happen to young people," he said. "We see students who have to leave school because of something that can't be predicted."
Students without coverage also think they can get what they need at campus health centers, which often offer free, but limited, care.
"It's a safety net, but it's a net with a lot of holes in it." Egelman said.
Nearly all private colleges make health coverage mandatory, compared with about 25 percent of public colleges, said Stephen Beckley, who runs a Colorado-based consulting firm that assists schools with student health programs.

Speakers to discuss perks of alternative careers
The University Career Center will hold a panel discussion of speakers from the Peace Corps, Americorps and Teach for America tomorrow. Four to six speakers will share their experiences with students who are interested in alternative careers.
"These are opportunities for service that lead to other careers," said Betty Baron, Peace Corps coordinator. "Employers look at these kinds of things as internships and as service learning, which is big these days."
Baron said students who participated in an alternative career would be
able to use their experience to stand out to future employers. Students will learn patience, responsibility, cultural sensitivity and another language, she said.
The Peace Corps is an international organization. Teach for America and Americorps are both domestic organizations. The University has approximately 40 Peace Corps volunteers.
The panel is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
The Associated Press
The KU Black Alumni Association, which regrouped after a 20-year absence last semester, will try to raise $10,000 to reoffer its first scholarship through the Endowment Association. The Bruce-Smith scholarship is named after Bruce, who was the son of an emancipated slave, and Lizzie Ann Smith. They were the first African-American students at the University.
With a record number of black students enrolled 120 years later, the University has honored the man who spent his life dedicated to education. Honoring the Past
Before Martin Luther King Jr. shared his dream in Washington D.C., and before the Supreme Court ruled that education could not be separate and equal, Blanche Ketene Bruce left the University of Kansas as its first African American with a degree.
In September 1999, the University dedicated each floor of the then-newly renovated Lewis Hall with the name of a person special to the University. It dedicated the seventh floor, "Bruce House."
"I'd like to see between $500 to $1,000 for a couple of scholarships," said Marshall Jackson, associate director of Academic Achievement and Access Center and association member.
"They all were significant," Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said of those people who had floors dedicated in their name.
Neal Bates, Hoisington sophomore and seventh floor resident assistant, said he researched the story and explained the significance of the floor to students at the beginning of the semester.
beginning Stoner invited Norma Rozzelle, Bruce's third cousin to the September dedication of the floor.
Rozzelle has taken a strong interest in Bruce's legacy. She has become the historian of this history-rich family and often has family members coming to her to learn about their heritage.
"More and more people want to know about their history," she said.
Bruce's story as an educator started with his grandmother, Polly.
Educating the Family
Between the ages of 16 and 38, Polly had
11 children. Two of her masters,
and William B. Bruce, fathered all of her children.
masters.
For the children to survive, she knew they would need education.
Polly's ability to read and write was essential to the education of her children, Rozelle said.
"Education was a
"Education was a priority — reading and writing," she said. "Education was the key to all of it."
SAMUEL BARRAGAN
Because the ability to read and write was not common among slaves, Rozelle said Polly would send one of her children along with her master's son while he was getting tutored.
When the two returned, Polly's child would come home and teach the rest of the children that day's lesson.
It was the most important thing Polly could have done for her children, Rozzelle said.
It paid off. All born into slavery, each of her children were literate.
After emancipation, the family moved from Virginia to Missouri.

Bruce was born in 1861 in Brunswick, Mo., and was named after his uncle Blanche Kelo Bruce who later became the first African-American U.S. senator from Mississippi. Continuing the Legacy
Bruce attended Lincoln University to pursue an education degree.
After realizing that he couldn't get a teaching certificate at Lincoln because it was only a two-year university, Bruce traveled to the free territory of Kansas. He enrolled at the University of Kansas in 1881.
After his time at the University, Bruce became a school teacher and principal of the all-black Sumner School in Leavenworth. He held the position for 54 years until he retired in 1939.

Rozzelle said Bruce tutored about 3,000 students in his home.

Politicians nix speech rights
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2005
pe-
and .E.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
This is the First Amendment to the Constitution, which supports Ward Churchill, professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado.
In recent weeks, Professor Churchill has found himself mired in controversy concerning a 2001 essay, "Some People Push Back; On the Justice of Roosting Chickens."
In the work, whose title silently nods to the famous anti-imperial witticism of Malcolm X, Churchill makes an analogy to those who died in the World Trade Center bombings to Adolph Eichmann, a nazi official prosecuted and convicted for his role in the systematic extermination of Jews in Germany during World War II. Churchill said that the victims use their misfortune as an excuse to persecute another ethnic group, like Hitler and his cohorts did to the Jews.
While many of those involved in the state-led offensive claim that state tax dollars should not be used to support Professor Churchill and his insensitive remarks, the professor would suffer little financial loss if he were to only lose the tax-supported portion of his salary.
His essay received public rebuke from Sept. 11 victims' families, student populace, and even received the sensational irie of Fox News' Bill O'Reilly.
According to the Denver Post, state tax dollars account for only 15 percent of Churchill's overall income from the University. Student tuition covers the remaining 85 percent. If the rally in defense of the professor, attended by 1,000 students, was any indication, many of Churchill's younger employers are sufficiently satisfied with his controversial job performance.
Not surprisingly, the controversy has spilled out from its ivory fishbowl and into the volatile, partisan waters of political grandstanding. Colorado politicians, such as Governor Bill Owens, have begun to publicly call for the termination of Churchill's employment at the University.
The Colorado House, threatening to withhold $100,000 from their allotted funds for the University should Churchill retain his tenure, issued a public denunciation.
In his McCarthyistic zeal, Governor Owens and his political calvary lead a charge which tramples on the First Amendment and the academic freedom guaranteed to all tenured university professors.
In a letter to the university's Young Republicans, Governor Owens condemned Churchill as holding views which remain "far outside the mainstream of civil discourse and useful academic work."
Tenure, by definition, exists to provide professors with a not insignificant degree of academic freedom. With this guarantee, educators are then able to teach and articulate concepts without fear that those concepts do not conform to the immature trends in "mainstream discourse."
According to the Colorado Board of Regents, one must demonstrate professional incompetence, neglect of duty, insubordination, conviction of a felony or any offense involving moral turpitude to forfeit one's tenure.
The process through which one loses tenure is necessarily difficult, as academic freedom and free exchange sit at the foundation of any University education, public or private. Without this freedom, college professors might still laud phrenology as the primary index for understanding the global world.
However ill-timed and insensitive Churchill's message might have been, serious questions lurk beneath his vitiol. The precarious history of American foreign policy in the Middle East and Latin America might perhaps, as Churchill suggests in much of his academic work, provide a good starting point for a discussion of the pathos of international terrorism.
Students at the University of Kansas, as well as all Americans, might be better suited to abandon the new monosyllabic dichotomy of good and evil which constitutes our current, mainstream discourse regarding terrorism, and instead re-attach ourselves to the concept of critical thought and analysis protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Politicians, on the other hand, would be better suited to leave their rhetorical flourishes and special interests in the state House, and outside the university classroom.

▼ SACK'S PERSPECTIVE
Scary diseases certainly get their share of coverage. People care about Mad Cow disease, Ebola and SARS. They're scary because they can give us disgusting ailments and kill us. Naturally we like to read about them. Eating beef can make you go crazy and kill you. Now that's news.

'APPEARENTLY SOMEONE DIDN'T GET THE MEMO
ABOUT WHAT I WILL OR WILL NOT TOLERATE...
This semester I have taken a class that has opened my eyes to misconceptions and ignorance the public shares about infectious diseases. We hear about scary stuff from the media, but we miss that common infections do more damage in the world, both in human toll and in economic impact, than we care to think about.
Media over-hypes certain diseases, ignores others
But common illnesses such as the flu and malaria aren't so newsworthy. What's scary about the flu? And malaria, heck, we don't have that here. Sure, we know that people in Africa get malaria, but there's nothing 'new' about that so it's not in the news.
▼ JORDAN'S JARGON
The media are partly to blame; the newsworthiness of diseases sometimes outweighs their actual impacts. But our ignorance is also to blame. So here's a quiz to see what you know about some of these scary things and some of the others. This information comes from assistant professor Robert Ward's biology lectures in the class I am taking.
JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
Question: Mad Cow disease is caused by a protein found in the brain of cows, and if that protein is eaten by a human, they can get a lethal disease. So how many infected cows in this country have ever been found?
Answer: Not a thousand. Not a hundred. Not 10. Only one cow has ever been found with the defective protein in the United States. For reference, in 2003, when the cow was found, 35 million cattle were slaughtered. That's approximately 0.00000003 percent of the cattle slaughtered that year. Only 156 people have been diagnosed with Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease, the human variant of Mad Cow.
Question: Remember all the video footage of people in Asia wearing the masks to protect themselves from SARS? Out of the six billion people in the world, how many contracted SARS?
So the next time you read a paper or see the news about some scary disease, remember, just because it's in the news, doesn't mean it's the biggest problem.
Answer: There were 8,098 reported cases and 774 deaths.
Question: I bet you have had the flu before, but how many people die in the United States from the influenza virus?
The world has a long way to go to fight infectious diseases, and developed countries like the United States must lead the fight with both money and interest to help. Having a population that knows the facts about the diseases that really kill us helps that cause.
Answer: There are about 36,000 deaths from influenza each year in the United States. For comparison, www.caraccidents.com reports that about 42,000 people died in auto accidents in 2003.
Question: There are between 200 million and 300 million cases of malaria in the world with around one million deaths each year. How much does malaria affect the GDP of Africa?
That's not an easy quiz; I didn't know any of that information before I took this class that I was lucky enough to have a friend recommend. But it goes to show that what is in the news is not the whole picture for any subject.
Answer: It is estimated that malaria costs $12 billion to Africa's GDP, yet in 2002, the world spent only $200 million to fight the disease.

Rice must proceed with caution in dealing with Iran
Our new Secretary of State is getting the job done but drawing a hard line.
PATRICIA SCHNEIDER
With not even a month under her belt as one of the most powerful women in the world, Condoleezza Rice seems to be an all-star for the Bush administration. After overseeing a promising truce between the Israeli and the Palestinians and communicating an idea of teamwork and cooperation with European allies, Secretary Rice has hit the ground running. But she must be careful how fast she runs into Iran.
Taking a hard line with Iraq's neighbor already has an international community worrying and remembering. Worrying about what the Iranian government has up its sleeve and remembering what happened the last time Rice spoke of wanting Iraq to disarm.
RAY WITTLINGER
rwittlinger@kansan.com
PAGE 5A
During her confirmation hearing to become the newest secretary of state, Rice was shunned upon from the left for having been the architect of the war in Iraq. One senator even went so far as to say that she has lost respect for the truth. It's hard to rally behind
Dr. Rice at a time such as this and on an issue such as this.
Americans deserve to see diplomacy at its best this time. Iran may not be a beacon of freedom by any means, but it is no Iraqi regime. Sure, the Iranian government should not develop a nuclear weapon of any sort. It is not acceptable and should not be tolerated by free nations. It is in the best interests of Middle East security no nations in the area develop a nuclear arsenal. But issuing harsh demands when our military is stretched to the max and our intelligence is undergoing renovation isn't smart diplomatically.
Rice has been far from reckless so far in dealing with Iran's ambitious government. She actually deserves to be commended on noting that the United States has
no time line or deadline for the Middle Eastern giant to halt its nuclear development. This is the talk we need to hear more often. Take it one step at a time and allow those we are dealing with to think and act rationally.
The words 'war' and 'Iran' have been conspicuously left out of the same sentence for months here in the United States. We are a strong nation supporting all our men and women who are giving their lives for freedom at this moment, but also a nation that must be reassured that we are far from military action in Iran or any other nation for that matter.
We will just have to wait and see if Iran takes the advice of the United States and our allies. Along the way, Secretary Rice and others must be patient and thorough in their attempts at cooperation. Bush does not have the opportunity to correct mistakes made before the Iraqi invasion but he does have an opportunity to not allow history to repeat itself.

Local foundation sparks reality show
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The foundation started by the late Kansas City businessman Ewing Kauffman is taking a role in a reality TV program featuring young women with an entrepreneurial bent.
The co-creator and executive producer of the show is Nely Galan, whose credits include "The Swan," a Fox TV extreme makeover program. She told the Hollywood Reporter, a trade publication, the new show is "more about mentors helping these women and the companies they represent to get funded."
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Kansas City's largest philanthropic organization, offers grants promoting entrepreneurship and education. Kauffman, who died in 1993, built the company he started in his basement into a major pharmaceutical manufacturer with annual sales approaching $1 billion.
The show, now in preproduction for the Lifetime cable channel, is being called "Ms. Mogul," with some of it to be filmed in Kansas City.
"Ms. Mogui" will feature young women with entrepreneurial promise competing for a bankroll of as much as $1 million. The 15 contestants will be assigned a mentor to help guide them through creating or expanding a business.
Kauffman also brought major league baseball back to Kansas City by founding the Royals in 1968. The team's stadium bears his name.
Auditions haven't been scheduled yet, but they're expected to be held next month in Kansas City and five other locations.
The Kauffman Foundation's role will be strictly to advise the production, foundation spokeswoman Wendy Guillies said. She said it was not a sponsor of the show and will not make money on it.

Leaders stress harmony
IRAQ
BY ROBERT H. REID THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Talks on who would get what in Iraq's newly-elected National Assembly were underway even before the final results came in, but the clergy-backed Shiites, whose winning margin was less than what they expected, may now have to compromise more than anticipated.
With barely 50 percent of the final vote in the 275-member National Assembly, the United Iraqi Alliance will not have control over the assembly, leading to speculation it may soon form a coalition with the independence-minded Kurds who won 26 percent of the vote. A two-thirds majority is needed to control the legislature.
Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim, the Shite ticket's leader, was meeting with political allies at his office yesterday afternoon, associates said.
Al-Hakim, who lost 19 family members to Saddam Hussein's executioners, sat and wept as he heard the results on Sunday. He later told Iraqi television of the need for cooperation with disenchanted Sunnis already alienated in postwar Iraq.
"We believe in the need for participation and will seek harmony among all segments of the
iraqi people," he told Iraqi tele vision.
The election results highlighted the sharp differences among Iraq's ethnic, religious and cultural groups — many of whom fear domination not just by the Shiites, estimated at 60 percent of the population, but also by the Kurds, the most pro-American group with about 15 percent.
Seats will generally be allocated according to the percentage of votes that each ticket won. It appeared only 12 coalitions would take seats. The Shiites stand to gain up to 140 seats and the Kurds could end up with about 75.

Dumped
Kansas made great plays, but Texas Tech simply made more.
In addition to Doras' gamewinner, senior guard Ronald Ross, freshman forward Martin Zeno and sophomore guard Jarrius Jackson each sunk important shots.
Texas Tech relied on Ross, Zeno and Jackson to win. The three combined for 64 of the team's 80 total points.
"They're their leading scorers, so I'm not surprised they did that," Self said. "They scored 64 in 50 minutes, which is too many, but I expect them to score the majority of their points."
Zeno scored 24 points, Ross added 21 points and Jackson finished with 19. The Red Raiders relied on the trio so much that they combined to
play 148 of the game's 250 minutes. Ross and Jackson sat on the bench for only one minute each, and Zeno played the entire game.
The loss means the Kansas team of 2002 will remain the only team in school history to remain undefeated in the Big 12. That bit of trivia didn't seem to mean much to coaches or players after the game.
"We never want to lose, but our goal remains to win the conference," Miles said. "I think we can still do that."
The Jayhawks still hold a one-game advantage against the rest of the conference and have the opportunity to claim the Big 12 title, but they will have to put this heart-breaking game behind them.
"I thought it was a heck of a college basketball game," Self said. "The crowd was great. Both teams competed their tails off at the end of regulation and in overtime. Unfortunately for us, they made the last play."

Unbelievable Darrul Dora Unbelievable
Everyone in Lawrence may still be in shock. It was an amazing end to an amazing game. Both teams deserved to win last night's thriller in Lubbock, Texas. Texas Tech came out hard and outgunned Kansas in regulation with stellar guard play from Ronald Ross, Jarrius Jackson and Martin Zeno. Kansas senior guard Keith Langford put on a display of absolute heart and toughness as he and junior forward Christian Moody led the Jayhawks into two overtives. Senior guard Aaron Miles' two three-pointers in the last five minutes of regulation play were a vintage display of his ability to come up big in kev moments.
In the end, Langford's clutch layup to tie the game and his five points in the second overtime didn't matter.
Darryl Dora, the Red Raider forward who committed the lane violation in the first overtime that gave Moody an extra free throw, mattered. He
more than made up for his mistake when he sunk his first three-point shot of the night, his fifth attempt, over the outstretched arms of Kansas freshman forward Sasha Kaun, with less than five seconds remaining.
But before Dora could be crowned King of North Texas, Aaron Miles grabbed a rebound from a missed Jarrius Jackson three-point attempt with 13 seconds remaining. Upon coming down with the ball, Miles was grabbed, poked at, and pushed around. Trying to free himself from the contact, the officials called him for traveling. It was absolutely the worst call I've ever seen.
It doesn't matter.
Kansas had numerous opportunities in both overtimes to capitalize, but didn't. Texas Tech had the same opportunities, and for the most part, didn't. But when they needed the big shot, they got it.
One of the questions concerning Bill Self's players at this point in the season is whether they've played their best basketball. Have they hit their stride? Are they playing as a cohesive unit that could make deep runs in the Big 12 Conference and NCAA tournaments?
The answer simply is, 'not yet,' and not just because they lost to Texas Tech last night.

Group cleans Fieldhouse
Campus Christians tidy up post-game trash
BY FRANK TANKARD
fiankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Newspaper scraps hid in every crack, lurked under every seat and blanketed the floor of the student section. Oh, if fans just wouldn't tear up those newspapers.
Then it wouldn't have taken a group of Campus Christians nine and a half hours to clean Allen Fieldhouse after the Kansas men's basketball game Saturday and earn $2,000 from the University for their mission fund.
100
Some members of the group had cleaned the fieldhouse several times before. Heather Jackson, Campus Christians women's minister and organizer of the cleanup group, guessed that she had done it 14 to 17 times.
Others, like Troy Viland, a junior at North Dakota State, had never even been to the fieldhouse. Viland had come to town to visit friends who were Campus Christians. It turned out he was in for a treat.
As the group of about 30 people gathered in the southwest corner of the court after the game, associate facilities director Jay Ellis walked up to Lanny Maddux, senior director of the Campus Christians.
"It's gotta be spic-and-span," Ellis said, warning that the group would be called back the next morning before the women's basketball game against Colorado if they did a bad job.
Maddux led the group in prayer, asking that they "work hard and be diligent so we don't have to come back."

The Campus Christians grabbed trash bags and scattered to the upper ends of the stands, dividing themselves as trash collectors and bottle collectors. It was time for a treasure hunt.
The trash people discovered half-eaten hot dogs, ticket stubs, Dippin' Dots containers, used tissues and napkins, nacho containers, spoons and an umbrella. One person found a bunch of empty Nicorette gum packets.
The bottle hunt wasn't quite as exciting. There were bottles of Coca-Cola, Sprite and all sorts of other Coke products.
Meanwhile, some people walked around the concourse emptying trash cans. Maddux drove a KU Athletics Corporation pickup truck back and forth to a dumpster north of the building, heaving the plastic bags into the dumpster in the light, cold rain.
A team of six young men prepared to start the gasoline engines of the University's high-powered Red Max blowers at 7 p.m. Andrew Olive, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore, told the team to start at the top and blow all the newspaper scraps down one row at a time until they made it down the to floor, where the scraps would be swept up.

Rowers eager to get started

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Yesterday marked the first day of the spring season for women's rowing. The NCAA allowed practice hours to increase to 20 instead of the pre-season eight hours. The team practices this afternoon from 4 to 7 p.m.
"I do feel stressed out sometimes with school and practice," sophomore Tricia Sawtelle said. "But we can handle it. We just have to devote more time to school and practicing."
Thursday's practice schedule is the same. Monday, Wednesday and Friday practices run from 6:30 to 8 a.m. with weights and 3:45 to 5:45 p.m. with rowing machines. Saturday practices will begin soon, and run from 7 to 10 a.m.
For now, the format of the practices is the same, with more reps.
Practices will keep the team busy, no matter how hard classes are.
"Practices are intense." Sawtelle said. "You're sore and worn out often. We might be even more tired now since we increased our hours."
The team is still training on land, working out with the rowing machines.
"Basically our practices will
be the same until the weather stops fluctuating," coach Rob Catloth said. "Right now we're just dealing with bad weather."
With 20 hours, the team can now officially row on the water. And with yesterday's nice weather, the team is eager to get started.
"We're hoping for warm weather so we can get on the water as soon as possible," Sawtelle said.
However, the team probably won't get on the water until they know for sure that it won't freeze over again.
The period after spring break usually has the prime weather to get on the water. There will be no more weights at that time, with more emphasis on technique and speed.
"I like practice more once we're on the water," senior Kristy Hainer said. "We get to spend time perfecting our skills. Having 20 hours allows us to spend more time on what we need to work on."
Once the team is on the water, there will be multiple practices for the various types of boats, such as single or four-man.
But for now, the team stays focused on practice to get ready for the first competition on March 26.

Not every athlete gets to rewrite history the way Kansas runner Benson Chesang did Saturday at the John McDonnell-Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark. Not every athlete gets to break a record that was set 14 years before he was born. Not every athlete gets to knock a state congressman off the top of the record books.
Chesang did just that as he broke Jim Ryun's record in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 7:59.46. Ryun's previous record was more than a second slower;
"With an icon such as Jim, people can be intimidated by accomplishing things he's done." Kansas distance coach Doug Clark said. "Not for Benson. He didn't know about Jim when he came to KU."
he ran it in 8:00.73 at the NCAA Championships in 1968.
No Kansas runner, other than Chesang, has even come within seven seconds of the record during the last 28 years. He did so against some of the nation's best, spurring from Top 25 track programs such as Indiana, Colorado State and Arkansas.
Chesang, a Ravine, Kenya, junior, qualified for the NCAA Championships with his run.

The 2004 All-American also finished seventh at the NCAA

"He came prepared for this meet." Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said. "This is a record he has been chasing and one that he wanted really bad."
Congressman Ryun (R-Kan.) said he was honored to have held the record for so long.
"Records were intended to be broken," Ryun said. "I congratulate Benson on his record-setting time and wish him all the best as he seeks to qualify for NCAA Indoor Nationals."

Former Cardinals, Royals pitcher dies
BASEBALL
BY ALAN ROBINSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Big games never worried Nellie Briles.
Briles, who won two World Series titles during a 14-year career as a control pitcher, died Sunday of an apparent heart attack at 61, the Pittsburgh Pirates said. Briles was stricken during a Pirates alumni golf tournament in Orlando, Fla.
Briles went 129-112 during a career spent mostly with the St. Louis Cardinals and Pirates. He played on five pennant- or division-winning teams, going a combined 69-44 with two post-season victories during those seasons.
Briles, who was influenced by Hall of Famer Bob Gibson's fierce attitude after joining the Cardinals in 1965, went 61-54 with the Cardinals from 1965-70, including a 19-11 record in 1968. He was traded to the Pirates, where he was 36-28 over the next three seasons before later pitching for Kansas
"I always felt that if it was a tough game, my teammates wanted me on the mound," Briles once said.
Bries was a broadcaster with the Pirates, Mariners and USA Network's major league game of the week from 1979-85 before being hired as the Pirates' director of corporate projects in 1986.
City, Texas and Baltimore in career lasting from 1965-78.
Raised in Chico, Calif., Briles pitched at Santa Clara University and made his major league debut at 22 in September 1965, losing a 1-0 decision to the Dodgers' Sandy Koufax.
"Nellie was a valuable member of the Pirates organization for many years," Pirates owner Kevin McClatchy said.
Briles was 14-5 with a 2.43 ERA in 1967. He won nine consecutive starts after Gibson's leg was broken by Roberto Clemente's line drive, before beating Boston 5-2 in Game 3 of the World Series.
Briles also played a key role in Pittsburgh's 1971 title run by pitching a two-hit shutout in World Series Game 5 against Baltimore. Briles allowed only two singles and no Orioles runner reached second base in a 4-0 victory — the last weekday afternoon game played in the
World Series.
"A lot of people in baseball told me it was the best game ever pitched in the World Series, except for Don Larsen's perfect game," said Briles, who was 2-1 with a 2.59 ERA in three career World Series starts. "I faced only 29 batters. It was the best game I ever pitched."
Orioles manager Earl Weaver later called Game 5 the pivotal game of the series, though the Pirates needed Steve Blass' four-hitter to win Game 7 in Baltimore. 2-1.
Briiles' best regular-season start came a year later, a one-hit shutout to beat Hall of Famer Juan Marichal and the Giants 1-0. Brioles lost a perfect game on Ken Henderson's infield single.
Briles retired at 34, four years after a knee injury sustained with the Royals hurt his pitching for the rest of his career. The following season, he was a TV broadcaster for the 1979 World Series champion Pirates.
Briles is survived by his wife, Ginger, four children and several grandchildren.
Funeral services will be in Greensburg this week.
Savannah State goes 0-28
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAVANNAH, Ga. — Oh my. Savannah State went 0-for-the-season.
The Tigers became just the second NCAA Division I school in a half-century to go through an entire season without a win, losing to Florida A&M 49-44 last night to finish 0-28.
At least Savannah State didn't go down without a fight, managing its closest loss of the season. The Tigers tied it at 41 with 1:57 remaining when Donald Carson — son of former New York Giants linebacker Harry Carson — hit two free throws.
But Michael Harper put Florida A&M (9-13) ahead for good just 12 seconds later with two free throws. Mark Williams hit a long 3-pointer with 14 seconds remaining to pull Savannah State to 45-44, but Tony Tate clinched it at the free throw line for the Rattlers. He made six straight in the final 24 seconds.
"It's unbelievable," senior Sherard Reddick said. "I don't believe it. It doesn't feel like we lost 28 games this season. I guess God is testing us."
Savannah State also had a chance to lead at halftime for the first time all season. But Michael Ayodele hit a 3 with 8 seconds remaining in the period, putting Florida A&M ahead 28-26.
The Rattlers were clearly relieved to get out of Savannah with a win. In the frantic final seconds, Darius Glover tried to calm his teammates during a timeout. "Come on, guys. Relax. Relax."
When Carson shot an airball on a desperation 3-pointer that could have forced overtime, Florida A&M coach Mike Gillespie walked in front of the bench and said defiantly "We won the .game."
Savannah State couldn't say that all year, joining Prairie View in the hall of infamy. The Texas school went 0-28 in 1991-92 — the only other Division I team in the last 50 years to endure a winless season.
Savannah State won four games last season, but had to forfeit those because of an eligible player — the son of coach Edward Daniels, no less. Officially, the school has a 55-game losing streak.
This time, the Tigers completed an imperfect season without having to rely on forfeits. They lost by an average margin of nearly 23 points a game.
"They gave it their best effort all year." Daniels said. "We just needed some additional help."
Savannah State had only nine players in uniform for its final game - the most striking example of a school that had no business jumping to Division 1.
The Tigers had some success in Division II — former NFL great Shannon Sharpe is an alumnus — but moving up to the highest level has been a major blunder. The school doesn't have enough money to fully fund any of its programs, and no conference stepped forward with an invitation.
So, Savannah State plays on as an independent, with scant hope of success.
Harry Carson traveled from New Jersey to watch his son's final college game, taking part in ceremonies before the game to honor the team's three seniors.
"It's very tough," Carson said. "We all came together and fought hard. We just couldn't pull it out."
"He's learned some valuable lessons that will be with him the rest of his life," the ex-football star said. "It's just a game. He'll live. The sun will come up tomorrow. I'm sure he's not feeling good right now, but he'll be OK."
At least the Tigers got what they craved when they ventured into Division I — plenty of attention. ESPN even did live "cut-ins" during its regular programming to provide updates on Savannah State's plight.
Florida A&M routed Savannah State 92-68 in Tallahassee 12 days earlier, but the Rattlers had a much tougher time in the Tigers' gym.
when it was over, Daniels huddled briefly with four of his players. He told them he was proud of their effort. He reminded them that they've got their whole lives to erase the disappointment of this winless season.
"People remember the last thing you've done," Daniels said. "They have a chance to go on and do some other things. Maybe they'll be able to look back and talk in a lighthearted way about this."
But not on this night.
The embarrassment was too real.
The finality of it all too painful.
"We're all just struggling emotionally." Reddick said. "It's hard to describe."

Sophomore diver Shelby Noonan eyes the water as she flips off the three-meter diving board during the duals meet against Iowa State on Feb. 5. Noonan won the one-meter competition and took second in the three-meter dive. She was also one of three divers to qualify for the NCAA Zone Diving Meet March 11 to 13 in College Station, Texas.

DIVE
The swimming and diving teams after bonding during recent coaching changes are now preparing together for the Big 12 Conference championships, which will take place Feb. 23-26 in College Station, Texas.
Though the divers are not always the focus of the team, they have lofty goals for the conference competition.
Despite the popular belief that there is a division between the swimming and diving team, divers Casey Topol and Shelby Noonan said that the teams were supportive of one another and had really come together as the Big 12 Championship drew closer.
"We practice at the same time, lift weights together and participate in lots of activities outside of practice," Topol said. "We also go on the same trips."
Perhaps one thing that brought the team together was that both swimming and diving recently experienced coaching changes and adapted to change together. The divers experienced a coaching change this year and the swimming coach changed three years ago.
Diving coach Eric Elliot is in his first season at Kansas.
"We love Eric. He's a great guy and a great coach," Topol said. "We are definitely seeing major improvements with everybody."
Junior diver Robyn Karlage is proof of Elliot's special touch, Noonan and Topol said.
"It was absolutely amazing," Topol said. "We've never seen anyone improve so fast."
Elliot came to the University after he serving as the diving coach at the University of Louisiana-Monroe. He is adapting well to life in Kansas.
"I am enjoying KU thoroughly. I've been around some good programs, but
KU runs this program very well. There is so much support from the University," he said. "My family loves Kansas. I'll definitely be here next year, and I plan to be a long time."
Elliot praises his divers for their flexi-
bility during the transition period.
"It's never easy to have a new coach changing things up." Elliot said. "I'm really proud of the way the girls have worked."
Elliot and the divers are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to take their new and improved team to the conference meet. Noonan and Topol will be joined by sophomore diver Jenny Roberts in College Station, Texas.
Roberts is a rookie to championship meets, but Noonan and Topol are veterans, and they have set goals for the upcoming meet.
"I got fifth place last year, and I'd like to do better than that this year," Noonan said.
Topol also has thought about how she'd like to perform.
"I'd really like to be in the top eight finals, and I'd like to score a point for the team," she said. "That'd be awesome."
Noonan will be competing in the one-meter and three-meter competitions, and Topol will compete in the three-meter and platform dives.
With Elliot's new training program, the divers are in the midst of tough training for the conference championships and won't ease up until about a week before they're scheduled to compete.
"We are still heavily training until we leave." Noonan said.
"We still feel the burn after practice," Topol said in agreement.
Coach Elliot said that the team was still working on some mechanics and drills to clean dives up before heading to Texas. A trip down south means facing one of the most prestigious swimming
and diving programs in the country, Noonan and Topol said. Coach Elliot agreed that the Texas Longhorn team was a highly anticipated competitor.
"Texas is a swimming and diving powerhouse," Noonan said, "but not unbeatable."
The team will be ready to take on the Longhorns in their home state, Elliot said. Also, he is keeping the spirit of the Border Showdown alive.
"Texas is probably our biggest competition, but you always want to beat Missouri." Elliot said.
Even with a coaching change and injuries, the team has the momentum for the championships next week.
"We've had some injuries that held back from training, but we've persevered," he said. "They're doing things right and looking good. If they put it all together, they'll have a great meet."

Canseco names steroid-users in best-selling book
NEW YORK — Jose Canseco's autobiography accusing several top players of steroid use and charging that baseball long ignored performance-enhancing drugs appeared to be a hit on its first day in bookstores.
Amazon.com listed "Juiced:
Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids,
Smash Hits, and How Baseball
Got Big" as third on its best
seller list yesterday.
Mark McGwire, one of the former teammates Canseco accused of using steroids, issued a written denial.
"I don't think it's a good thing, obviously, because it's bringing a bad light to the game," New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter said yesterday.
"The relationship that these allegations portrait couldn't be further from the truth." McGwire's statement said.
In the book, Canseco is an unabashed advocate of performance-enhancing drugs.
Canseco calls himself the "godfather of steroids in baseball," saying "I single-handedly changed the game of baseball by introducing them into the game."
The 1986 AL Rookie of the Year and 1988 MVP, Canseco spent 17 seasons in the major leagues, in a career that ended in 2001, when he was 37.
"I was hands down the best player in the world. No one even came close," he wrote. "I was created by the media. Back in the 1980s, I was like a rock star. Everywhere I went, I had to have bodyguards. I had it all: the body, the personality, everything. I was Hollywood."

- Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8. Following through is quite profitable now, much to your delight. Ask to be repainted what you're owed, too. You'll get some of it. Persist.
+ Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
Don't show off your newfound wealth,
or brag to your poorer friends. Treat
your money as a gift. What goes
around comes around.
- Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5. You may feel more like a follower than a leader, but you can still make sure your group's headed in the right direction. Pay attention.
- Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7.
You simply don't have the time or energy to do all you'd like. And, unfortunately, it looks like the job comes first.
- Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 6.
Shop carefully, especially if you're after a home improvement. Don't follow a loved one's advice if it's going to cost you too much money.
+ Scorpion (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today in a 6.
Just stand back and watch. An amaz.
ing thing is about to happen. A person who's been giving you grief is coming over to your side.
♦ Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is as
7. Slowly and carefully your best tactic
now. Don't rush into anything.
You're likely to make the problem
worse instead of fixing it.
- Aquarus (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6.
There's more to the assignment you're facing than to meet the eye. Don't settle for surface impressions, dig deeper.
- *Capricorn* (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7. Choose your words carefully, and test every once in awhile to make sure your meaning has been understood. Don't leave anything to chance.
- Picses (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
Take your time and get the correct answers to all your questions. You won't get everything you want, but at least you'll know where you stand.

NEW YORK — With no miracle save in sight and a weekend deadline long gone, the NHL made plans for a news conference today to cancel what little remains of a season already decimated by a lockout.
The NHL will become the first major professional league in North America to cancel an entire season because of a labor dispute. This marks the first time the Stanley Cup will not be awarded since a flu epidemic
canceled the finals in 1919.
After vowing not to reach out to each other after two days of talks broke off Thursday, the sides met Sunday at the request of a high-ranking federal mediator. Neither Bettman nor players' association executive director Bob Goodenow attended. That round of talks in Washington also failed.
Neither side has been willing to budge on the salary-cap issue
— the NHL has said it was necessary in any new deal, and the players' association rejected it
as a solution.
NHL chief legal officer Bill Daly was joined Sunday by outside counsel Bob Batterman, with players' association senior director Ted Saskin and outside counsel John McCambridge on the other side.
Neither side thought mediation would help end the stalemate that has lasted five months.
The lockout reached its 152nd day yesterday, a day after the NHL was to hold its All-Star game in Atlanta.

After the Vilianova defeat, it was clear that this team was nowhere near ready to compete for any titles, but since that defeat, it had strung together six consecutive victories before last night's setback in Lubbock, though not all strong performances. The Jayhawks still lacked the consistency to be serious contenders in the postseason.
Impressive victories against Texas and Colorado in the last two weeks had given Kansas fans a glimpse of what could be come tournament time, but lackluster victories against Missouri and Kansas State in the same time period were evidence to that lack of consistency plaguing Kansas all season.
The Red Raiders came out firing last night. From the onset, they clearly wanted to win more. They appeared faster, stronger, more athletic, more passionate and more intense.
The Red Raiders ran the Bob Knight motion offense in the first half to perfection. It also helped that Ross and Jackson made nearly every shot they threw toward the basket.
Kansas didn't come close to matching Tech in any way until late in the second half. The Jayhawks were, again, inconsistent. They had numerous opportunities, but failed to capitalize on them. Langford and senior guard Mike Lee combined to miss three free throws midway through the second half that would have given Kansas a 55-54 lead. Sophomore guard J.R. Giddens was invisible after the first intermission, missing all eight of his shot attempts in the second half and the overtimes. Clearly out of sync, he should have been benched in the extra periods. You can hang that on Self.
Though fatigue had to have been a factor, big-time players usually find ways to make the clutch shots. In the end, the
Jayhawks didn't get the breaks and didn't make the plays.
The game in Lubbock last night was arguably the toughest road test Kansas will face for the rest of the season, though games at Oklahoma on Feb. 21 and at Missouri on March 6, are still ahead. Kansas' toughest home-court test will take place when Oklahoma State visits Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 27.
Like the Villanova defeat, this didn't end the Jayhawk's season. Like the Villanova defeat, it will make them stronger, tougher and more determined. The dream of a perfect conference season is gone, but a championship season is not lost. The Jayhawks have to move on and get ready for Saturday's game against the Iowa State Cyclones. They'll have to forget about Texas Tech, and more importantly, Darryl Dora.

Wolfpack outdoes Hurricanes North Carolina State coach caps 900th game
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Billie McDowell scored 26 points, helping助 Ne 21 North Carolina State defeat Miami 71-68 last night. The game gave State coach Kay Yow a win in her 900th career game with the Wolfpack.
McDowell made nine of 14 shots, including six-of-10 from 3-point range for State (18-5, 7-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), which won for the fifth time in its last six games. Yow's career score is 614-286.
Tamara James had 23 points and Yalonda McCormick had 20 for the Hurricanes, who had won two straight games. Imani Dahabu added 15 points for Miami, which was outrebounded 35-25 and committed 22 turnovers that turned into 35 State points.
Tiffany Stansbury added 20 points on 10-of-15 shooting for the Wolfpack, who held on despite 61.9 percent shooting in the second half by the Hurricanes (12-12, 4-7).
Marquetta Dickens added 14 points and seven rebounds for State, which shot only 42.4 percent compared to 58 percent by Miami. But the Wolfpack made up for that by holding a commanding 19-5 edge in offensive rebounds — and a 22-7 advantage in second-chance points.
Yow became the fifth coach in Division I history to coach 900 games at the same school, joining Texas' Jody Conradt, Tennessee's Pat Summitt, LSU's Sue Gunter and Kansas' Marian Washington.

Someone brought out a basketball, and a few people shot bricks just like Colorado had several hours before.
The group prayed before the meal, then devoured the pizza. Someone brought a fruit bowl found in the concourse.
"Check out our future walk-ons," laughed Frank Boyd, a nursing student at Johnson County Community College.
Abigail Adams, Lawrence junior, stood in the
stands telling the horror story of cleaning up after Late Night in 2003.
"We weren't as organized as we are now," she said. "We were all going all over the place. Morale was low; people were dropping out. We were standing there with mops in our hands and were like, 'No way we're ever going to get this done.' We got called back a few times."
The blowers started their engines and got back to work. As they neared the lower-level seats, people grabbed mops and buckets and started cleaning where the blowers had been.
Just watching the mopping was a mind-numbing experience. It involved moving slowly down the rows, getting every sticky spot and lugging the mop bucket to the restrooms to change the water every couple of rows.
The blowers finally reached the bottom at midnight, and it was time to sweep up the scraps on the floor and mop the concourses.
To make a long, story short, by 3 a.m., most of the group sat in the stands, waiting for the two people still mopping in the student section. Cheek sat as upright as he could in the maintenance room drinking a pop. Everyone concentrated on staying awake.
Jackson declared that it was time for bed. As the weary workers grabbed their coats from the maintenance room and headed out the door with bags under their eyes, Frank Boyd only had the energy for two words: "Worn out."
After nearly ten hours of cleaning, Troy Viland wasn't sure he liked the tradition of students shredding newspaper at games.
At 3:30 a.m., the stragglers finished, and
"I think it's crazy after having to clean it up," he said. "But it's cool though. You gotta have traditions."

Union expansion probable
BY DANIEL BERK
lberk@kansan.com
IKANB STAFF WRITER
The Kansas Union will expand by Fall 2006 if it can raise enough money.
The expansion would be in conjunction with the opening of the new Multicultural Resource Center, which will break ground either in July or August.
The new MRC will occupy one floor of a three-story building, which will be located between the Union and the Union's parking garage.
The MRC will be level with the fourth floor of the Union where it will connect with the back of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.
Other expansions to the Union would take
place on the two levels below the MRC. The KU Bookstore would expand to the bottom floor of the new building, David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, said.
The expansion would increase the size of the bookstore by approximately 10 percent.
Third floor business offices would be moved to the second floor of the MRC building. The current offices would then be used for meeting rooms.
"I think an expansion makes sense because we have a match in mission with the MRC," Mucci said.
Funds will need to be raised before the expansion can begin. Mucci estimated that the cost would be roughly $100 per square foot, which would total approximately $900,000. Mucci said that the money would need to be raised by the
start of 2005 school year, for the expansion to take place.
The new MRC will be funded through a donor and student fees, neither of which would apply to the Union expansion. The total cost of the new MRC building was $2.8 million. Student fees will increase by $3.50 per semester and that increase will stay for the next 10 years.
The money would have to come out of business cash flow from the Union, Mucci said.
He said this is the right time for a Union expansion for many reasons.
"It's more efficient to do the expansion now." Mucci said. "Interest rates are good and we could help the MRC with electrical costs as well as other costs."
Mucci said because of limited space around the
Union, it would be one of the last opportunities to expand.
Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, and a member of the MRC building committee said he was pleased that the Union was looking into expansion.
"I absolutely support the Union's expansion," Dunlap said. "Without the Union's help, the MRC would be on stilts, rather than having two floors underneath it. If there is an expansion it will make it more usable for students."
Dunlap said that right now, the MRC is scheduled to be complete by Aug., 15, 2006, which would make it ready for students to use by the beginning of the fall 2006 semester.

Police look into burglary

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Lawrence Police Department is investigating a burglary and theft at SIGma Delta Tau sorority house, 1625 Edgehill Rd., Sgt. Craig Shanks of the Lawrence Police Department said.
A resident of the house reported seeing a white male in the house between 4 and 4:05 a.m. Saturday.
No males were allowed in the house that night. She also thought that the man was taking pictures of her while she slept. Shanks said.
It was not known how the man entered the house, said Laura Bauer, program director of fraternity and sorority life.
After he was confronted, the man left the room and took with him a pledge board attached to the wall. Shanks said.
Later that afternoon, a Lawrence police officer was dispatched to the scene and filed a report.
Shanks could not confirm if any arrests had been made.

When Betty Baron decided to enter the Peace Corps, her family tried to talk her out of it.
But when she told her father she was getting married, he said he'd prefer she enter the Peace Corps.
What she hadn't explained yet was that she was going to do both.
She had only agreed to marry her husband because he offered to go with her to the Corps. His condition: She had to wait to join the Corps until he finished graduate school.
Baron, a Peace Corps coordinator for University Career Services, was one of four speakers at the alternative career panel last night at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union.
After turning down four countries while waiting for her husband to graduate, Baron and her husband finally left for training the day of his graduation. Once trained, they went to Ethiopia.
The volunteers spoke to about 20 people about their experiences with alternative service careers. The panel represented the Peace Corps, Teach for America and AmeriCorps* VISTA.

Prevalence of fake IDs poses a challenge for bar owners
BY JOSHUA BICKEL

KANSAN STAMP WRITER
Bar owners are on the lookout for fake IDs after two KU students were suspected of producing hundreds of fake IDs in Ellsworth Hall earlier this month.

Despite the ongoing investigation, students are still using false identification to gain access to bars and alcohol. Some say it's easy and don't fear getting caught.
Rachel Sevmour/KANSAN
Some Lawrence bar owners are cracking down on the use of fake IDs, but students still think using one to get into bars is still pretty easy.
Rachel Anslover, Salina sophomore, said that she knew a lot of people who had fake IDs and used them to get into bars.
"The people I know didn't have a problem getting into bars," Anslover said. "You can use a fake ID pretty easily here."
Bars are quizzing ID holders and increasing security to make sure underage patrons aren't drinking, said Rob Farha, owner of The Wheel, 507 W. 14th Street. IDs are often magnified and photographed on a machine, which alleviates some liability from bar owners, he said.
Farha said that some IDs, especially ones from Louisiana, are easy to spot as false. But other IDs are
Other college towns, like Manhattan, are more strict on fakes, she said.
While the technology used to catch fake IDs becomes more advanced, so do the fake IDs. Some fake IDs are to catch, but others are virtually undetectable. Farha said.
Bars and bouncers in Lawrence inspect IDs to try to prevent underage people from entering. Some IDs are harder to determine authenticity than others.
very difficult to catch.
"Some are so easy to spot that we laugh about it," Farba said.
It's also hard to recognize when a person is using an older person's ID. he said.
When this happens, staff are trained to check the description on the card with the person presenting it.
Employees are trained to look at various things on an ID for inspection.
Farha's employees look at the description on the ID and the picture, and sometimes, if they're not convinced that it's real, they quiz the person about their ID.

Revised land-use plan passes first city hurdle
University and city officials have devised an agreement on how to develop land at the boundary between University and city property.
The Lawrence City Commission last night reviewed a revised land-use agreement before passing it on to the city planning commission for further review.
Bv JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The revised agreement addressed how the University will develop land within a 150-foot buffer area surrounding its main campus. Regulations on parking, building setback and neighborhood involvement in the development process are included in the agreement.
Because the University is a state entity, the city does not have the authority to impose zoning regulations to University property. The University and the city wanted to compromise, said Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor.
said. "We must take into account the sentiments of the community around us."
"We are one community," Weinberg
The University will comply with certain standards when it develops property within the buffer zone, according to the revised agreement.
Students who will live in Reiger Scholarship Hall or any future residence halls within the buffer area will be required to register their cars with the University, Weinberg said.
and according to the land agreement, those students then must purchase a Union garage parking pass. This requirement would rectify neighborhood concerns about limited parking on city streets, Weinberg said.
The agreement also establishes a committee made of University, city and neighborhood representatives. The committee will review proposed developments and make recommendations to the University.
This will give neighborhood residents a voice about developments in their area, said Leslie Tuttle, professor of history and Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods member.
"This is a big step forward," Tuttle said. "The agreement addresses both the concerns of the University and the neighborhoods in a positive way."
An original draft of the agreement was rejected by the planning commission in November because it did not provide the city with sufficient control over development, John Haase, planning commission chairman, said.
Several small, isolated University properties were removed from the buffer zone in the new agreement, Weinberg said. The revised agreement also requires new buildings to be built far enough away from the street so they do not interfere with public right-of-way laws.
ferry Riordan, vice chairman of the planning commission, said he expected the commission to approve the agreement and send it back to the city commission for final approval.
The agreement would then become part of the city's new development code, which should take effect within three to four months, Riordan said.

Education lacking equality

His father fought the battle of desegregation in America's schools as one on the lead attorneys in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education. Today Charles Scott Jr. is worried that the current administration is more focused on test scores than aiding less fortunate children.
unconstitutional. The court agreed.
Students at the University of Kansas filled the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics last night as they listened to Scott, 50 years after the landmark Brown v. Topeka Board of Education.
Scott discussed the history of the lawyers that helped file the suit, the general history of the case and what Americans, and specifically college students, can do to continue the fight for equality.
The decision started a chain reaction that eliminated the doctrine.
"This case served as a cornerstone for the freedom America stands for in the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence," Scott said.
Brown v. Topeka Board of Education was legally challenged by many lawyers throughout its years in courts. Scott's father and grandfather were the main litigators in the case
Although the court did find in favor of the plaintiffs, Scott said that the decision may not have desegregated the community.
"This case was a benchmark for later civil rights cases," Scott said. "But did the case change the outcome for African-American children? I think the answer is certainly not."
Linda Brown and her family sued the board of education because the Separate but Equal doctrine was
think the African-American children are still not as well educated as their white counterparts, Scott said. The decision, and subsequent decisions, have not addressed the issue of poverty.
"Poverty is the great divider," he said. "If your worried about where you are going to live or when you will be able to eat, education is a luxury."
The No Child Left Behind Act does not look out for all children, Scott said.
He challenged students to get involved in mentoring and teaching children of poorer backgrounds.
"Education is definitely affected by the government," said Erica Hunter, Lawrence senior. "Students should help, even if it is something as small as donating a few bucks or an hour of your time."
Students and all American citizens need to look at the problem and help the people that were supposed to be
added by the Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, Hunter said.
"Really we need to look at whose writing the laws." Hunter said. "Environment affects children's learning and if the schools cannot help, one person really can."
Civil rights cases were fought by attorney Elijah Scott, his grandfather, since the early 1920s. Elijah Scott tried cases from the Tulsa Holocaust to one of the initial law suits against school segregation. Webb v. the Mariam School District.
More than 21 children and their families were recruited for the law suit. The name "Brown" was used for the title of the case because it was the first name alphabetically.
After 30 years of experience in civil rights cases Elijah, and son Charles Scott Sr., looked for families to volunteer to sue the Topeka School Board.
The families and their lawyers, with the Scotts as the leaders, filed suit in Federal District Court but failed to convince the judges of their claim.

Museum takes steps to lure more students
BY NEIL MULKA

KANAN STAFT WRITER
It's 8 p.m. Thursday and more than 100 students are milling around the Spencer Museum of Art for Student Night. Japanese dance rock echoes off the walls as students' conversations flow with the pouring of the green tea being served.
Genevieve Boyle, Salina sophomore, overlooks the party as Rachel Larson, Tescott sophomore, and Alex Garcia, Atchison freshman, help themselves to refreshments. Boyle is a member of the Spencer Museum of Art Student Advisory Board, which arranged the Tradition and Modernity Student Night at the museum.
This Student Night, entitled Tradition and Modernity, was part of a larger attempt to attract more students to the art museum and make them feel that the museum is theirs, Kristina Mitchell, education director, said.
"I think that it went fantastic," said Carey Woltkamp, student advisory board member and Olathe senior. "I think one guy who worked there said they have about eight people come in on a Thursday night and now we had a couple hundred."
A student advisory board was formed in November to get more student input on the art museum's programming, Mitchell said.
The board is planning a campus-wide survey expected to come out in the fall with the help of a "Marketing and Media Research" class, taught by Denise Linville, assistant professor of journalism. But nothing has been finalized on what the survey will entail, Mitchell said.
She is replacing Andrea Norris, who was fired March 2, 2013.
Saralyn Reece Hardy, the art museum's director starting March 4, said she was looking forward to the survey as part of her plan on listening to students.
The focus on getting more student input has been something that members of the Spencer staff have been wanting to do, Mitchell said, adding that with a
"Our capability as a museum is directly related to our adaptability." Hardy said.
new director coming in, it was a good time to try new things.
"I think now we're in a position to do this with support all around." Mitchell said.
The art museum could do more to increase student attendance, Cayla Witty, Wakefield sophomore, said.
lack of advertising was a problem that they would try to solve.
"A lot of students think this is just another academic building," said Witty, who attended last week's Student Night.
"It doesn't matter if your collection great." Mitchell said. "If students aren't coming to see our collections or expositions, then we're not doing our jobs."

New meningitis vaccine to be available this summer
A new meningitis vaccine will be available to KU students as soon as this summer, said Patricia Denning, Watkins Memorial Health Center chief of staff.
Production for distribution of the vaccine Menactra began after the Food and Drug Administration approved it about three weeks ago, she said.
"There is actually a fear of a shortage because they plan to distribute the vaccine to so many people," Denning said.
All students living in University housing must be vaccinated against meningitis beginning next fall, she said.
meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, a layer of the brain, and causes fever, vomiting and nerve damage. The vaccine prevents the bacterial forms of the disease. Denning said. The vaccine uses a better compound to increase retention in the body. she said.
Previous vaccinations last from three to five years. A person will be able to go 10 years or more between vaccinations with the new vaccine.
Viral meningitis is not prevented by the vaccine.
KU Public Safety Office to investigate $5,000 burglary

Among the items stolen were three Dell laptop computers valued at $2,220,$2,000 and $1,665; a Kodak digital camera valued at $300 and a flatbed scanner valued at $72 were also among the items stolen.
The KU Public Safety Office has no suspects at this time, Bailey said.
Bailey also was not sure how the building was entered at the time of the incident because the investigation is still in its preliminary phases.

Scientists uncover bones, tools near Colorado border
Researchers from the University of Kansas and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science have unearthed items in Sherman County near the Colorado border.
Mammoth bones, camel bones and possible stone tools were found at the site, said Rolfe Mandel, archaeological geologist of the Kansas Geological Survey. The site has two components, Mandel said. One of the sites, which remains unconfirmed, was tentatively dated at 12,200 years old, Mandel said.
"If we can confirm the age of the site we will have a very important find," Mandel said. "The site could be one of the oldest sites in the midwest."
The site, if verified, will be one of only four cites in the New World to show early indigenous peoples from this age.
Scientists will try to verify the site's age when
the researchers return to the site in early June. — Adam Land
Queen of England to knight 1955 KU graduate Worcester
WORLD
The Queen of England will bestow the honorary title of knight to KU graduate Robert Worcester.
The queen will grant the title for his philanthropic activities and his contributions to political and economic life in the United Kingdom, said Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor.
"He is truly an amazing man," Weinberg said. "He is one of the most well-known Americans throughout the United Kingdom."
Worcester graduated from the University in 1955, and will return to the University in the spring for the 50th anniversary of graduation.
He calls both England and America his homes because Worcester has dual citizenship. He received his citizenship for the United Kingdom in September.
Worcester founded Market & Opinion Research International (MORI), which is an independent polling agency used around the world. Adam Lund

Questions can range from what the address on the card is to the social security number or drivers license number. Farha said.
The Wheel also has two booklets that they use to check IDs with, Farha said.
The booklet contains detailed descriptions of every driver's license from the United States and Canada.
Craig Whalen, a bartender at Henry's, 11 E. 8th Street, said that they now have someone at the door checking IDs on Tuesday, Thursday Friday and Saturday nights.
Whalen said that employees also walk around the bar periodically to check if anyone is drinking who they know is underage.
"I've turned people down because the ID they gave me was obviously fake," Whalen said.
Whalen won't kick them out of the bar if they don't drink while they're there.
Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control also works with local law enforcement and the local bars to keep fake ID use to a minimum, ABC director Tom Groneman said. The ABC sends agents out into the bars to do compliance checks. During these checks, agents walk around inside bars to see if anyone appears under 21.
The ABC might send in underage patrons to perform "controlled buys," where an underage person working with the ABC tries to buy alcohol. Groneman said.
Groneman said that fake ID use in bars was a concern.
"It's a problem as with all college towns," Groneman said.
But students don't think that bar owners' attempts to curb fake ID use will have an effect on underage people using them.
Anslover said that she knew of many bars where it was very easy to use a fake ID to get inside, especially for women. And even though other entertainment options exist for underage students, Anslover thinks underage people will still try to get into bars.

Java reduces cancer risk
BY RANDOLPH E. SCHMID THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - That hot cup of coffee may do more than just provide a tasty energy boost. It also may help prevent the most common type of liver cancer.
A study of more than 90,000 Japanese found that people who drank coffee daily or nearly every day had half the liver cancer risk of those who never drank coffee
The American Cancer Society estimates that 18,920 new cases of liver cancer were diagnosed in the United States last year and some 14,270 people died of the illness. Causes include hepatitis, cirrhosis, excess alcohol consumption and diseases causing chronic inflammation of the liver.
But for people who drank coffee daily the risk was 214.6 cases per 100,000,the researchers report in this week's issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Animal studies have suggested a protective association of coffee with liver cancer, so the research team led by Monami Inoue of the National Cancer Center in Tokyo analyzed a 10-year public health study to determine coffee use by people diagnosed with liver cancer and people who did not have cancer.
They found the likely occurrence of liver cancer in people who never or almost never drank coffee was 547.2 cases per 100,000 people over 10 years.
They found that the protective effect occurred in people who drank one to two cups of coffee a day and increased at three to four cups. They were unable to compare the effect of regular and decaffeinated coffee, however, because decaf is rarely consumed in Japan.
It's the caffeine in coffee that makes some people nervous and it has been shown in other studies to prompt mental alertness in many people. Some studies have suggested caffeine aggravates symptoms of menopause or intensifies the side effects of some antibiotics. Heavy caffeine use has been linked to miscarriage. But studies have also shown that a skin
cream spiked with caffeine lowers the risk of skin cancer in mice.
"It's an excellent, interesting and provocative study and their conclusions seem justified," commented Dr. R. Palmer Beasley of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
"It will provoke a lot of new work here," said Beasley, who was not part of the research group.
While the study found a statistically significant relationship between drinking coffee and having less liver cancer, the authors note that it needs to be repeated in other groups.
And the reason for the reduction remains unclear.
However, Inoue's team noted that coffee contains large amounts of antioxidants and several animal studies have indicated those compounds have the potential to inhibit cancer in the liver.
In their study, the team also looked at green tea, which contains different antioxidants, and they found no association between drinking the tea and liver cancer rates.
However, that analysis did find a 52 percent decline in rectal cancer among people who regularly drank two or more cans of decaffeinated coffee.
A separate study reported in the same issue of the journal reported no relationship between drinking caffeinated coffee or tea and the rates of colon or rectal cancer.
"Other unidentified substances may also be responsible" for the reduction in cancers, they said.
In that study a team led by Karin B. Michels of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston analyzed data from two large studies the Nurses' Health Study of women and the Health Professionals' Follow-up Study involving men. The analysis of nearly 2 million person years found 1,438 cases of colorectal cancer.
While they did not find any association between cancer rates and consumption of caffeinated coffee or tea, people who regularly drank two or more cups per day of decaffeinated coffee had about half the incidence of rectal cancer as those who never drank decaf.

Teen heads to prison
CHARLESTON, S.C. — A 15-year-old boy who claimed the antidepressant Zoloft drove him to kill his grandparents and burn their house down was found guilty of murder Tuesday and sentenced to 30 years in prison.
BY BRUCE SMITH
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
States since the government began taking a close look at the dangers of antidepressant use among teenagers.
The jury took six hours to reject Christopher Pittman's claim that he was "involuntarily intoxicated" by the drug and could not be held responsible for the crime.
The case was one of the first of its kind to come to trial in the United
Pittman was 12 in 2001 when he killed his grandparents, Joe Pittman, 66, and Joy Pittman, 62, with a pumpaction shotgun as they slept in their rural home, then torched their house and drove off in their car. He was charged as an adult.
"I know it's in the hands of God. Whatever he decides on, that's what it's going to be," Pittman said quietly, just before Judge Danny Pieper handed down the minimum sentence. The boy could have gotten life in prison.
About a month before the murders, Pittman was hospitalized after threatening to kill himself. He was prescribed the antidepressant Paxil and was later put on Zoloft.
A psychiatrist testified for the defense that the Zoloft was to blame for the killings, and a former Food and Drug Administration official told the jury that the crime was an angry, rash, manic act "that was chemically induced."
Pittman's lawyers said that the negative effects are more pronounced in youngsters, and that the drug robbed Pittman of the ability to tell right from wrong.

Steven Wallace went to hear the panel after seeing an advertisement in The University Daily Kansan.
"I played basketball with a lot of underprivileged kids and I just want to do anything to help people." Wallace, Olathe junior, said. "I don't care if it's teaching or building a house."
The three organizations are nonprofit service groups that send volunteers to areas in need of education, infrastructure and business development, heath awareness and youth development.
The Peace Corps is an international organization and both AmeriCorps*VISTA and Teach for America are domestic organizations.
Baron said she suggested the Peace Corps as an alternative to students who didn't want to go straight into a job in the corporate world.
"Employers look at these kinds of things as internships and as service," she said.
Volunteers spend one to two years in assigned areas, depending on the program, and then continue their career path.
"The goal is that after you teach, you will go into the field you were ultimately interested in and affect change in that sector," Rachel Balzer, Whitewater senior, said. Blazer will

be leaving for Mississippi in August to begin her two-year stint with Teach for America.
It takes people in all sectors of society to influence change, she said.
Teach for America volunteers are paid the same salary that starting teachers would make in their districts.
Teach for America also has partnerships with many businesses that recruit Teach for America alumni.
Peace Corps volunteers are mainly stationed in Third or Fourth World countries. Participants like Robin Corindo would be placed in a country that asks for the skills they can provide, such as teaching or technological advancements.
Now a state program specialist
for Kansas, Corindo went to Namibia, Africa, in 1994 to teach English and physical science to elementary school students. She lived in a hut with a community well as her resource for water. She was given a stove and refrigerator as part of the accommodations the country must provide for Peace Corps volunteers.
Conditions varied.
Corindo's colleagues in Africa had brick homes, and the capitol city had an Olympic-size swimming pool and an Internet cafe.
"That was our purpose," she said. "To help bring consistency to a nation."
Corinda was also an AmeriCorps*VISTA volunteer in Houston and an AmeriCorps*VISTA leader of six counties in London, Ky. As a volunteer, she helped develop educational programs for both elementary schools and an adult literacy program.
AmeriCorps*VISTA volunteers are paid $800 a month and they live in the area where they work.
"You live in poverty." Corindo said. "If forces you to understand the area you are serving and you gain much more experience."
Volunteers in all three organizations are given health benefits, tuition deferment or assistance paying off student loans, and money for relocation expenses.

This is the face of today's conservative movement. This is THEIR idea of America.
Conservatives in Washington are attacking our personal freedoms. Young Americans fight and die in a war built on their deceptions. They've saddled us with an enormous national debt, made it harder to attend college without crushing loans, harder to get a decent job and health care after we graduate.Now they want our generation to pay $2 trillion for their risky plan to phase out Social Security.

Pointer takes show
I
BY BEN WALKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Posing like the very symbol of the Westminster Kennel Club, a German shorthaired pointer called Carlee became America's top dog last night.
The 5-year-old female with the soft eyes and gliding gait won best in show, beating out a popular Norfolk terrier, a champion bloodhound and a wobbling Pekingese.
All seven finalists gave fine performances on the green carpet of Madison Square Garden. But the sellout crowd and judge Lynette Saltzman were clearly won over by Carlee's "free stack," the time when the dog stands alone and shows its stuff.
Paying rapt attention to star handler Michelle Ostermiller, Carlee pointed with perfection as the cheers grew louder and louder.
Last year, Ostermiller neatly guided a big Newfoundland named Josh to this best in show title. This time, she came back to be the tops among the 2,581 entries.
"I'm stunned," she said.
Carlee became the second German shorthaired pointer to win at Westminster, and was a direct descendant of the other winner in 1974.
A sprightly Norfolk terrier named Coco represented the terriers. She was the favorite at Westminster last year, and came back this time at 6 1/2 years old after taking off six months to deliver three puppies — Tom, Dick and Harry.
Fans called out Coco's name when she showed for the last time, her tongue hanging out and her ears flopping.
last month, was trying to become the first hound in 22 years to take best in show at Westminster. Instead, he could not top Carlee.
Knotty, a bloodhound that won the AKC/Uebauba show
A Pekingese called Jeffrey was the toy winner. His father won the largest show in the world in 2003.
Fame, a Great Pyrenees, the first of its breed to take the working group, was described
as an animated snowdrift.
A silky Tibetan terrier — not really a terrier, despite its name
— also was the first of its breed to take the non-sporting group. Named Baloo, for the "Jungle Book" character, he spent his down time snacking on his favorite dog biscuits.
Merlin, a border collie, represented the herding group.

THE CROSSWORD CAN WAIT
PAGE 7A
Don't trust or rely on one news source for Iraq info
When I picked up the editorial page last Monday, I read a story that claimed post-war Iraq was almost in anarchy. It really saddened me to think about all the work and money we've invested in Iraq, as well as the lives of more than one thousand American soldiers and
MATT SEVCIK msevcik@kansan.com
and American soldiers the civilians. And don't forget about all the Iraqi civilians who are working as peacekeepers and police and those who were willing to give up their lives because they believe so desperately in cleaning up their country.
I was depressed all day.
But then I remembered I would be silly to get my news from a college newspaper's editorial page.
So I decided to look somewhere else for the low-down on Iraq. As it turns out, a lot of amazing things are happening in Iraq. Many people have been working very hard for what they believe is an incredibly noble cause.
Unfortunately, the space of one editorial column is not enough to comprehensively show people that good is actually being done in Iraq. So I will simply highlight the positive effects that have occurred in the lives of Iraqi women.
This is a subject very conveniently forgotten when The New York Times picks a headline. The headline, "Women in Iraq much better off thanks to efforts of soldiers," apparently sells fewer papers than something that might read, "Everything in Iraq Is Completely Dicked."
When the Ba'ath party took control of Iraq in 1968, women were already in the workplace, studying at college and enjoying relatively equal rights. The Ba'ath party drew up a constitution that seemingly preserved these rights. But a great portion of this constitution was never enforced. It's not like Saddam Hussein was known for keeping his word.
Instead, Hussein decided to enforce laws that were far more brutal — laws that legalized honor killings. Women were then beheaded for "immoral conduct," such as adultery, speaking out against their father's wishes or generally desiring a better station in life.
After months and months of vicious fighting and the unfortunate deaths of thousands of American and Iraqi soldier in 2002, these women are beginning to find themselves in a strange new position.
Instances of great tragedy still occur. Women running for public office in Iraq have been killed
and kidnapped. They are threatened daily by fundamentalist Islamic conservatives, not only because of their views, but also because of their genders.
But they're running for office. This is far more than they could have expected under Saddam's rule.
Luckily, women are guaranteed at least 25 percent of the 275-member national assembly. This does not represent a true democracy, however, because women represent 55 percent of the population. This is also a problem in America, where minorities and women are not proportionately represented in our government. But that's another column.
Master Sgt. Frank Hacker, who is from the University, has completed two tours of duty in Iraq since the beginning of the war.
"The education system is what really sticks out in my mind," Hacker said. "Before we got there, women or girls could not go to school when men went to school. That is, if the schools even offered education to the females."
Hacker said that women were only allowed to teach girls and men were only allowed to teach boys. During his second tour, Hacker said he saw some things changing, including a general improvement in women's lives over the year that followed the war.
"Right after the start of the war, they had very little," he said. "Almost a year later, they seemed to have a lot more going for them."
Though most of the largely Muslim society in Iraq is unwilling to budge on legislation that grants the female population more rights, the future for women in Iraq will be undeniably better than its past.
I'm certainly not saying that life is perfect for women in Iraq. Life isn't even perfect for women in America. But the fact that Iraqi women will have any voice, any political power is heartening to me, and it should be heartening to all Americans.
But you wouldn't know this from reading a few of the past editorials in this paper, including one that cited Rolling Stone magazine that 85 percent of Iraqis are sympathetic to resistance against American troops.
Rotting Stone magazine? Come on now. If you want to know when the next Kanye West album comes out, look in Rotling Stone. If you want the truth about soldiers and their efforts abroad, keep reading this column.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Coulter's appearance an opportunity to witness opposing viewpoints
I hate Ann Coulter.
I think she's a vile, hateful, judgement-filled, narrow-minded instigator of fear. I know I'm not the only one because I read the recent commentary on her upcoming appearance as the Vickers lecture speaker.
Here's the thing: Censorship goes both ways. If you want to have Kofi Annan or Bono as a speaker, KU students have to engage in debate with people who like Ann Coulter — no matter how challenging or rife with controversy.
An education is meant to test our limits and challenge our preconceived notions. As an institution of education, it's KU's job to get us to think.
I hate Ann Coulter just like I hated watching KU lose in double-overtime last night. But in both cases, the back and forth, the give and take keep me a KU fan.
Keep KU free of a one-sided debate.

Washing hands after using bathroom prevents diseases
Scenario: After a refreshing visit to the loo, you proceed to the sink where pink, flowery-scented soap awaits for an invigorating and necessary scrub of the hands.

squares of much-needed toilet paper, emerges. In your typically generous manner, you scoot an inch to the right so she can join you at the sink.
However, to your dismay she gives you a quick smile in passing and exits the bathroom, without so much as a courtesy water-rinse for show.
Your horror is justified. Simple rules of health and safety have been blatantly violated in your presence.
Bathroom etiquette is a topic to be tread upon by someone more sophisticated and, frankly, more pretentious than myself, but a misconduct that can spread preventable illnesses is worthy of discussion. Even the most "natural" of students have good reason to recall grade-school hygiene lessons.
The flu continues to be relentless in its spread to new victims, and although doctors usually recommend fall flu shots, the Center for Disease Control did not give the nod for mass flu shot distribution until recently. Dr. Myra Strothers, former head of Watkins Health Center and current physician, said it was not too late to get poked, but further precautions should also be taken.
Strothers recommends students wash hands before eating to prevent disease transmission
recommend that you wash them after you defecate.
Time crunch is a valid argument, and even I am guilty of the just-in-case-anyone-is-looking water rinse. But there are other ways increase the effectiveness of your restroom routine.
Those who practice the "hover" technique religiously but don't wash their hands — they are out there — should rearrange their cleanliness priorities. Save time and reduce germ-ridden splatter by sitting down at the john, then treat yourself to a well-earned hand wash.
Neither the flu, nor the common cold, is sexually transmitted.
According to the CDC's Web site, "The most important thing that you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands." They describe effective hand washing as a vigorous hand-rubbing with soap and warm water for 10 to 15 seconds. Hands should then be rinsed and dried thoroughly.
Only one in three people wash their hands after using the bathroom, according to the CDC. It comes down to personal hygiene as well as consideration for the welfare of others.
Poor bathroom habits can spread more serious diseases like hepatitis A, meningitis and infectious diarrhea. Yuck.
Only good things can come of hand washing. You will greatly reduce your risk for spreading disease, your hands will be smooth and dang it, people will like you more.

Climbing club creates fun, challenges
Tucked away in northwest Lawrence rests a garage unlike any other. The cars, toolboxes and trash bags are nowhere to be found. Instead they've been replaced with plywood suspended from the ceiling and walls, and mats covering the gray concrete floor.
This garage belongs to three members of the KU Rock Climbing Club. The project started off as a combination of small walls that other members of the rock climbing club had created for themselves. But as members graduated and left Lawrence, the smaller walls were soon combined into what has become known as the "climbing duplex."
"If you're out climbing, you might move holds around just to make things more challenging and different," said Brent Stephens, Edgerton graduate student.
After nearly a year of construction at a cost of nearly $1,000,the wall presents a challenging climb with walls suspended over the dark colored mats and pieces of plywood protruding from the walls of the garage at various angles.
Despite his lack of experience, the challenge of learning how to climb didn't scare away Ben Reader. After peering over the railing of the Student Fitness Recreation Center several times at the climbers, the Wichita freshman decided to take a chance and join the club. Reader was one of 20 new members who have joined since the beginning of the fall semester.
beginning or die in some way.
"I was hesitant at first," Reader said. "But the older guys set up climbs us beginners can do."
The large and small climbing walls at the recreation center challenge both new and experienced climbers. Hundreds of strips of colored tape line the walls, marking routes of varying degrees of difficulty and length. Completing an entire route can be a tough task for even the most experienced climbers. In the beginning new members are often frustrated when they fall off the wall, said Ashton Martin, El Dorado sophomore said, but if they're not falling, then they know aren't trying.
During a normal climbing session half of the time is spent warming up on the smaller wall. The remaining time is spent on the larger, more challenging
Dean Potter, El Dorado sophomore, secures his hold while navigating one of the rock climbing courses. The KU Rock Climbing Club started in 1992 at Robinson Center and the climbing surface changed from a plywood course to a material made to look like a real rock wall." It definitely looks better now, but it was easier to make courses on the plywood" Potter said.

large wall, orange, blue, red and yellow holds mark various routes to the top. The size and shape of those holds vary as the route progresses upward.
Designated route setters within the group design and change the routes several times a month to help better prepare other members for the challenges that await them when climbing outside.
While members are focused on their climbing, the workouts have a relaxed, social atmosphere. One moment, the group is gathered around encouraging a fellow member as he attempts his hardest route of the day, while moments later members are spouting off their favorite "Anchorman" quotes.
Climbers do little weightlifting to prepare for climbs. The weightlifting, Martin said, limited flexibility and the ability to reach across the body. Instead, club members think of climbing as their own workouts, adjusting the routes to concentrate on upper or lower body strength and control.
Though the members climb together several days a week, the group has little competition within it. Instead, encouragement and advice, called "beta," has replaced the competitive spirit.
"The guys are all supportive and offer suggestions," said Hope Fry, Lancaster, Pa., graduate student.

dent. Numerous trips throughout the year allow club members to put the lessons they have learned from each other into practice. Previous trips have included stops in Arkansas, Arizona, Illinois and
Oklahoma. The trips are geared new and experienced members. Climbing areas have routes for both beginning and veteran climbers, said Chris Dyroff, club president. Even if an area is more advanced, said Dyroff, Wilmington, Del., senior, new climbers were learning fast enough to do the more difficult climbs.
"It was awesome," Karlin said of climbing outside for
of climbing near Tucson. dark clouds began rolling into the area, bringing over two inches of rain and flash flood conditions. The rain washed into their desert camp-site and prompted the campers to head for higher ground for the evening.
"It was crazy, everything had water in it," Martin said. "Luckily we had a place in Tucson we could go stay."
The trips not only promote improving climbing skills but also bonding and friendship.
"I think with every trip we get closer. It's all you could want from a group and our leaders," Reader said.
Nowhere is the bonding and friendship more evident than at the Tuesday dinners. Following club climbing at the recreation center, members gather back together at the duplex for dinner and movies of famous climbers attempting what are considered the world's most difficult climbs. With Stephen's as their chef, they feast on meals like pot roast and potatoes, tacos and the traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
"We make whatever we can get in mass quantities and at a reasonable price," Stephens said.
The others slowly come out to join him in working their way up from the slanted walls to the holds above the mats on the concrete floor.
Even though Karlin can see his own breath as he talks, the cold temperature doesn't stop him from climbing in the garage for nearly another hour following dinner.
Without being able to use their feet, eventually nearly everyone takes a spill onto the mats, but they continue to climb, encouraging each other as they go.
"I didn't know any of these guys before." Karlin said. "Now, we're all good friends."

After a roller-coaster start, the baseball team brings it home today

A three-game sweep at the hands of the Stanford Cardinal last weekend has the Jayhawks looking to get back on track at the best place possible: Home.
The Kansas baseball team will make its 2005 debut in Hoglund Ballpark against South Dakota State (0-0) today at 3 p.m. The game will be the first of a four-game series that was originally scheduled to finish Sunday.
David Iohnson/Texas Tech Student Media
Because of bad weather forecasts for the weekend, the
Kellv Hutsell/KANSAN
games have been rescheduled. Today's and tomorrow's games will keep their 3 p.m. starting times. The series was supposed to wrap-up on Sunday, after a day off on Saturday. The new schedule will have games three and four set on Friday as a doubleheader, beginning at 2 p.m.
This series will be the first for the Jackrabbits, as they come off of a 12-36 record in 2004.
Kansas (6-3) opened the season on fire last week in Kona, Hawaii, as it took all six games of the series against Hawaii Hilo. Those flames quickly fizzled against Stanford during the
weekend, but did not leave the Jayhawks discouraged, Kansas coach Ritch Price said.
"I was actually really pleased with the progress they made over the weekend," he said of the Stanford series.
Price acknowledged the fact that Stanford has always carried a dominant baseball program. Losing 7-6 in the series finale gave Price good signals of what his ball club is capable of.
Starting today, the Jayhawks can show their ability to bounce back after a tough defeat. Hoglund Ballpark may serve as the ideal place to field such a rebound.
Last season, the Kansas baseball team posted a 20-12 record at home. The 2004 season also marked the second consecutive 30-victory season for the lavhawks.
"We did really well at home last year," Price said. "We're excited to get started again this season."
Kansas junior pitcher Kodiak Quick is scheduled to take the mound this afternoon. Quick (2-0) did not pitch against Stanford, but threw two starts versus Hawaii-Hilo. In 15 innings, he held his ERA to .60.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Everyone in Lubbock, Texas, seemed to go wild after Texas Tech's double-overtime victory against Kansas on Monday night — except Texas Tech coach Bob Knight, that is.
Thousands of Texas Tech students rushed the court following their team's victory, and players left the floor high fiving everyone in sight.
But Knight merely shook hands with Kansas coach Bill Self and went to the locker room.
That's all he would say about it.
There was no grand speech or even a smile on his face. He went as far as to complain about his team taking too long to put the game away.
"It's our sixteenth win," Knight said with a harsh tone after being asked how much the victory meant to his team.
If ever there was a time to celebrate, this was it.
With the win, the Red Raiders claimed their eighth conference victory of the year, and all but assured themselves a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Self complimented Texas Tech's performance, and so did visibly heart broken Kansas players.
"We knew they'd be ready to
play," Self said. "They executed well. Give them credit, I think they defended us really well."
Knight would have none of it, though. The only kind word he used to describe his team's play
was "nice."
"Our players did a nice job of staying in the game," he said.
He refused to sing the praises of his three leading scorers — freshman guard Martin Zeno, sophomore
guard Jarrius Jackson and senior guard Ronald Ross -- who combined for 64 points in Monday's match-up.

The Kansas women's basketball team's fourgame home stand continues, but the confines of Allen Fieldhouse will become a little less hospitable tonight with a showdown against Texas Tech.
The 7 p.m. tip-off is the second game of the home stand for the Jayhawks and the beginning of a stretch when they play four of their remaining games against ranked opponents.
Coming off a 76-54 beating of Colorado on Sunday, Kansas will find a much tougher test in No.13 Texas Tech, 17-5 (8-3 Big 12 Conference).
"We understand how good they are and how good we would have to play to beat them," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
masters against teamed opponents.
"In this league, you've got great competition,
and we've got staring us in the face a little run,"
Henrickson said. "Right now, the most important one is Texas Tech."
one is Texas Tech.
The game is equally crucial for the Raiders, who find themselves in a dead heat for the lead in the Big 12 standings. With their 8-3 conference record, the Raiders can jump into first place if they win and the Baylor Bears lose.
Texas Tech is coming off a 64-43 setback at
Texas. The defeat dropped the Raiders into a fourway logjam for second place in conference.
During the final stretch of the regular season, Kansas will face three of the top five other teams that are fighting it out with Texas Tech.
A recent victory for Kansas has buoyed the spirits of a team that stands at 11-11 (4-7).
Even with the adversity of the late season schedule, Henrickson said her team's confidence was where it needed to be at this point in the year. However, that does not change their views of the Raider team that will invade the fieldhouse.
"This group is hungry and they love to compete." Henrickson said. "But they go into the game with a tremendous amount of respect for Texas Tech."
Junior guard Kaylee Brown echoed her coach's sentiment;
"We have to play together and play well." Brown said. "They're very,very good."
In order to hang with the Raiders, the Jayhawks will need a repeat performance of their last game, their most lopsided Big 12 victory of the season.
Against Colorado, the inside presence of junior forward Crystal Kemp was paired with two potent scoring performances from guards Erica Hallman

Bring back overnight camping for students
Allen Fieldhouse has one of the richest basketball traditions in the country.
Camping at the fieldhouse should happen 24 hours a day. You know, actual camping.
So why does that tradition take a break between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.?
Jeff Bollig, co-author of "Beware of the Phog: 50 Years of Allen Fieldhouse," said that camping was done sporadically for both Wilt Chamberlain's and Danny Manning's teams, but the first large-scale camping efforts happened after the 1988 NCAA Championship season.
"It makes for a more normal student life while keeping the tradition of camping alive," he said.
At the start students pitched tents on the lawn outside the fieldhouse. Campers had to hold their ground all day and all night.
Brad Nachtigal, assistant athletics director, emphasized that the students would have to make the first move.
Jim Marchiony, associate director of athletics, said that the current staff was not around when the change was made and has never discussed the issue. He said he supported the system in place.
Curtis Marsh, who was a freshman in 1987, said the conditions helped keep camping groups to a minimum.
Twenty-four-hour camping would be a party, a celebration of everything we've come to love about Jayhawk basketball combined with the student body's insatiable appetite for air mattresses.
If this brings to mind images of Duke and Krzyzewskiville, Duke's camping village, it should. Except the Jayhawk version would blow Duke away.
"You really paid the price if you wanted those seats," he said.
Looking beyond the obvious (Duke students get told how to cheer before the game), remember that they only get to camp out for two games a year.
But it wasn't all electric blankets and 3 a.m. roll calls. Players came down from Jayhawker Towers to hang out, and televisions were hooked up to extension cords that came from the fieldhouse.
"On occasion, the pizza places would stop by with the extra pizzas they had from the night," Marsh said.
"Camping is a student-run organization," he said. "If they approached us, it would be something we would talk about internally."
Bollig said the students' well-being had to be considered before such a system was approved.
"It is an issue of safety and security," he said.
Keep in mind this is the Athletics Department that keeps tabs on the priority points system. Extra fieldhouse security would be easy for the department to figure out.
Allen Fieldhouse is one of the most recognizable images on the campus. It would be even better if the yard in front was dotted with tents full of students.

No let-up for Tigers after victory
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Quin Snyder knows from experience not to get carried away with one nice game.
Missouri's coach said he'll keep asking more and more from his underachievement team in tonight's game against Baylor, even if the Tigers are coming off an onset of then 16th-ranked Oklahoma.
"I'm not saying we should hold our arms up and say 'Hurray, hurray, we won a game!'" Snyder said. "I 'm not letting up on them."
"I think it's a constant thing with these guys to keepounding it in to them."
Missouri (11-13, 3-7 Big 12) twice rallied from a double-digit deficit to beat Oklahoma 68-65 in overtime on Saturday. Before that, the Tigers had lost five in a row and eight of nine.
During that disquieting slump, athletic director Mike Alden felt it necessary to confirm that Snyder's job was not in danger. But the coach knows the pressure is still on, and at halftime and with Missouri trailing by 11, he called out his team.
"I just think some of our guys needed to be called out to the mat.
"Don't tell me about it, show me, and they did." Players said the message hit home.
"I think it hit everybody." center Kevin Young said. "I think we showed that we're men, and we came together and fought together."
After the game, Snyder wanted the players to savor what they had done. And realize they could do it again.
"I asked them. 'How do you feel? Do you like this feeling?' Snyder said. "I got some smiles. You could see the satisfaction they felt."
Missouri was much more aggressive on defense and on competing for offensive rebounds than most of the season. As a result, the Tigers hounded Oklahoma into submission.

Rough courts ahead
Jayhawks have yet to face toughest Big 12 opponents
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN KENNISI SPORTWRITER
With the game-deciding traveling call against Aaron Miles still fresh in the minds of Kansas players, Iowa State should feel lucky that its match-up with Kansas isn't until Saturday.
The Jayhawks, on the other hand have all week to think about the call that left their senior point guard with a welt under his right eye in the double overtime loss against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
"After I got the rebound, obviously they were trying to foul," Miles said. "There was 8 seconds left, the refs didn't see it, so they called the travel, but it shouldn't have come down to that. We had possession and I turned the ball over."
When Kansas held a 79-77 lead with 7 seconds to go, Miles leapt up and pulled down a rebound. In an attempt to force him to the freethrow line, Texas Tech tried to foul Miles. He was triple-teamed underneath Texas Tech's basket. But instead of calling a foul, the referee whistled Miles for traveling.
The rest is history. Texas Tech recovered the ball and Darrrell Dora hit the game-winning three-pointer to hand the Jayhawks their first Big 12 Conference loss of the season.
"All losses are hard to absorb," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I think it was hard to absorb because it was right there. There is so much at stake when you are talking about the league and seeding, and to lose a game like this is very disheartening."
The Kansas players have made it clear since the beginning of the conference season that winning the Big 12 Championship is one of their main goals for the season.
The good news is that at 10-1 in the Big 12, the Jayhawks still have a one-game lead over the 9-2 Oklahoma State Cowboys. The bad news is that the most difficult part of Kansas' Big 12 schedule is in front of them.
"We never want to lose," Miles said. "Our goal is to win the conference."
On Saturday, Kansas will take on Iowa State (5-5 in the Big 12) at Allen Fieldhouse.
Although its .500 record appears marginal, the quality of Iowa State's recent victories is impressive.

With little time to regroup from the Cyclones, the Jayhawks will then head to Norman, Okla., on Monday for their own showdown with the Sooners. After critical conference losses to Oklahoma State, Missouri and Iowa State, Oklahoma is a team looking to rebound.
Iowa State traveled to Austin, Texas on Feb. 5 and knocked-off Texas 92-80 in overtime. Two weeks earlier, with then-No. 13 Oklahoma in town, the Cyclones snapped the Sooners' 10-game winning streak and handed them their first Big 12 defeat of the season.
With a 7-3 record in the Big 12, Oklahoma still has a shot at the Big 12 Conference title, and beating the conference leader would certainly help. The Sooners also bring one of the toughest inside duos in the conference, juniors Taj Gray and Kelvin Bookout.

Camps start amid steroid talk
BY RONALD BLUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not this year.
Usually, the start of spring training is a time of clean slates, sun-splashed fields and endless hope. Not this year.
"It doesn't go away, unfortunately." Yankees manager Joe Torre said in Tampa, Fla.
Not this year. Steroids were the No. 1 topic yesterday, when the new Washington Nationals, the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds opened camp.
Pitchers and catchers on seven more teams report today, and workouts begin tomorrow, 45 days before the World Series champion Boston Red Sox and Yankees play the major league opener April 3. The Minnesota Twins will be the last team to report, on Sunday.
The Nationals had the most complicated journey to spring training. After 36 seasons as the Montreal Expos, the team morphed into Washington's first major league team since the expansion Senators became the Texas Rangers after the 1971 season.
Ken Griffey Jr. ran for the Reds' medical staff in Sarasota, Fla., showing how far he has recovered from surgery on his torn right hamstring. Pedro Martinez, an early arrival at the New York Mets' camp, worked out in Port St. Lucie, Fla. And Trot Nixon kept up the Yankees-Red Sox sniping, saying of Alex Rodriguez: "He can't stand up to (Derek) Jeter in my book or Bernie Williams or (Jorge) Posada."
Owned by major league baseball since early 2002, the team was uncertain of its fate for three seasons before the move to the nation's capital

was finalized in December.
was initialized in December. "It's been a long journey," catcher Brian Schneider said. "We've wanted this for a while, and it's here now. We're ready for it, that's for sure."
As camps opened, there was a new steroid report. The New York Daily News said yesterday that an FBI agent in Ann Arbor, Mich., told baseball security head Kevin Hallinan about 10 years ago that Jose Canseco and other players were using illegal anabolic steroids.
"I alerted Major League Baseball back in the time when we had a case, that Canseco was a heavy user and that they should be aware of it." Special Agent Greg Stejskal was quoted as saying. "I spoke to the people in their security office, Hallinan was one of the people I spoke to."
Calls to Stejskal's office in Ann Arbor and to FBI headquarters in Washington were referred to the Detroit FBI office, where spokeswoman Agent Dawn Clenney said Stejskal and the agency
would have nothing to say.
Hallinan was traveling and did not return telephone calls seeking comment. He told the News he never was contacted then about steroid use.
"I have absolute confidence in his integrity," said Sandy Alderson, executive vice president for baseball operations in the commissioner's office. "We are looking into the situation described by the agent to see if we can figure out what exactly took place. There may have been someone else he talked to. There are a number of possibilities. We want to see if there is some reasonable view of his explanation and Kevin's."
Canseco's autobiography, published this week, accused the Yankees' Jason Giambi and others of using steroids.
"I think that the problems that are out there are coming to the surface, which I think is good for baseball," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said in Fort Myers, Fla.
Still, baseball's new drug-testing agreement — calling for harsher penalties and more frequent testing — remains in the drafting phase. Baseball management expects the new rules to be in place by the mandatory reporting date, March 1.
Baltimore shortstop Miguel Tejada, among the players accused by Canseco, denied that he used steroids.
“Any inference made by Jose Canseco that I used steroids is complete false.” Tejada said in a statement. “I barely knew Jose during his career, so it is ridiculous for him to suggest we ever had discussions regarding their use.”
Route hearings will take place from 4-5 pm on Tuesday Feb 22, 2005 in the Kansas Union. The hearings are an opportunity for students to express themselves about the current routes and voice any concerns or proposals for future routes.

He went on the disabled list and had laser surgery on his left eye on May 19. He missed 80 games before rejoining the club Aug. 11. After a .133 average in 18 games, he had a second surgery in September and missed the rest of the season.
I was not seeing well enough to track the baseball." Guilal said.
Guiel was removed from Kansas City's 40-man big league roster at the end of the season. On Oct. 15, he signed a minor league contract with the Royals, which included an invitation to spring training.
Guiel, who was the Royals' starting left fielder when the 2004 season opened, hit .286 with three home runs and eight RBIs in his first eight games. But he hit just .083 in his next 27 games. Contact lenses did not help.
"By no means are they going to pencil me in (the lineup) or write me off or they wouldn't have wanted me back." Guiel said.
Guil, 32, spent 9 1/2 years in the minors before joining the Royals in 2002. In 2003, he hit 277 with 15 home runs and 52 RBIs in 99 games.
"IIf I carry over what I did in 2003, which I think I'm capable, I feel I can win the right field or left field job." Guilbert said.
He faces stiff competition for a roster spot, Kansas City acquired outfielders Terrence Long from San Diego and Eli Marrero from Atlanta in offseason trades and has outfielders David Dejesus, Abraham Nunez and Matt Stairs returning. The Royals could wind up platooning in left field and right field.
"I have a (minor league) option left on my contract, so they could use me as a pawn," Guiel said. "I'm cheap compared to a lot of those players they brought in."

"I think we're going to be real good at the plate." Price said. "It generally takes the freshmen 20 games to get from high school to really hitting at the D-I level."
Offensively, the Jayhawks are confident in their ability to produce runs. Senior catcher Sean Richardson enters the series hitting .440. Junior outfielder Matt Baty leads the team with 10 RBI. Freshman second baseman Ryne Price has had little trouble adjusting and contributing effectively in his first season of college baseball, knocking in eight runs in the past two series.

A somewhat shaky pitching staff got Kansas into trouble at Stanford. Several walks turned into several runs in that series, but Price said he was not fazed. He said the Kansas preseason cold weather did damage on early-season pitching.

A similar performance by the trio will be necessary to give Kansas an opportunity for the unset against Texas Tech.
Kemp has been the key to the offense in opening up the court for the Jayhawk guards to hit from the outside.
Following her 17-point performance on Sunday, Kemp stands only one point away from becoming the program's 18th 1,000-point scorer.
Henrickson said that despite Kemp's successes during her Kansas career, her steady improvement and addition of a reliable jump shot have helped mold her into the cornerstone of the team.
"Developing into a complete player is where she will help us going into the end of this year and next year." Henrickson said.
Including Texas Tech, the Jayhawks have five regular season games left before the Big 12 Tournament.

Bollig and Marsh both agreed that campers have it better now, especially since the addition of wireless Internet to the fieldhouse.
"They could put in a kitchen and start renting out lofts in the fieldhouse." Bollig joked.
What's happening right now isn't camping. It reminds me of the detention room from back in middle school. Roll call, no carpet and everybody is half looking around, half doing homework.
By moving camping outside, camping would change from three hours of solitary confinement to a social event. Non-campers would come down just to join in the fun.
"The allure of camping is just one of the great fieldhouse traditions." Bollig said.
It is a tradition that not many people outside the University of Kansas know about. Every year campers try unsuccessfully to explain to their parents exactly what it is they are waiting for.
By moving camping outside, the fans would get some much deserved national publicity for their efforts. They could also call it camping with a straight face.
Jenna Tomlin, Brownsville, Texas, freshman, said 24-hour camping would be a good idea if the security concerns could be worked out.
"Everybody would think our fans were crazy if we camped all night," she said.

Freshmen step up in Hilton Classic
The Kansas softball team's freshmen helped propel the team to a 3-1 record at the Hilton Classic last weekend in Las Cruces, N.M. The team's overall record stands
Christina Ross, freshman pitcher, had a great tournament, leading the Jayhawks to a 5-0 shutout victory against Utah Valley State in their finale. She is leading the Jayhawks in earned run average at 0.98.

The three other freshmen have looked promising, too. Outfielder
Vasquez

Jackie Vasquez has established herself as a leadoff hitter for the Jayhawks with her speed.
Fellow freshman outfielder Cyndi Duran led the team with three hits after the first day of the Hilton Classic in games against Arkansas and Purdue. Elle Pottort, freshman catcher, hit her first career run on attack Utah Valley State.
The softball team is off for a couple of weeks, which comes at a great time, coach Tracy Bunge said.

Teams competitive in 'Schol' Hall showdown

KANSAN SWIPERWITHER
Rivalries mean going all out to make the plays that help your team win, and Sunday night's game between two scholarship hall teams was no different.
Stephenson Hall never got its shots to fall and dropped the game to Battenfeld Hall by a score of 39-26.
Battenfield (2-0) became the only undefeated team in pool 16 with the victory. Stephenson dropped to 1-1 in with the other two teams in the pool.
The group from Stephenson Hall is one of three teams that the hall fielded this year. The group refers to themselves as the "Stephenson Chaminade."
Battenfeld's group is the second of the hall's two teams. Neither team has formal practices, although the Battenfeld squad often plays together when the gym is available for open play.
Both sides recognized the importance of the game and the rivalry.
"We're both scholarship halls, and it's always a fun game." Xiaobang Yue, Chengdu, China junior, said.
Battenfeld had no troubles early on, making the first three baskets of the game and forcing turnovers on the other side.
Battenfeld would end up shooting 11 free throws and making six of them. At the end of the first half, Battenfeld held a 19-12 lead.
Stephenson tightened its offense and was able to knot the score at 10. The team ran into foul trouble early, however, when Joshua Stites picked up his third foul just 12 minutes into the game.
After the halftime break, the Battenfeld players became much more physical. They got

rebounds and went up strong to avoid the blocks Stephenson had been getting in the first half.
"All of us were shooting and not turning the ball over, so it worked out great," Jacob Hartman, Logan, Utah, sophomore, said.
With constant encouraging from the bench to press on offense, the team went on a nine-point run during the next six minutes. At the end of the run the entire team substituted out, exhausted.
Stephenson did not surrender. Its players continued fighting for loose balls and bodies flailed in seemingly every direction.
Although Stephenson was able to force turnovers, it couldn't capitalize on them at the other end. The squad shot just 26 percent from the field and 2 of 18 from three-point range.
Battenfeld attempted only half as many shots from behind the arc, choosing instead to move the ball inside for short jumpers. The team's lone three was hit by Yue, who scored many of the baskets during the run. After the game, his teammates congratulated him on his big day.
Yue said his favorite play of the game was making a three-pointer because that's something he doesn't usually do.
Battenfeld was held scoreless for the final 5 minutes except for one free throw the team

Sororities increase security
Some chapters install new security systems
SUNY

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Erica Hummel, St. Louis sophomore, gets her hand printed with the help of her sorority sister, Kathryn Noyce. Pi Beta Phi's new security system was installed Tuesday and Noyce was responsible for making sure everyone's handprints were logged into the new system. "It feels very 'Mission Impossible-'ish," Hummel said.
Local break-ins have influenced sorority chapter officers at the University of Kansas to increase security at houses on campus.
Though last week's break-in at Sigma Delta Tau wasn't a factor in chapter changes, the new security measures aim to prevent similar situations.
A member of Sigma Delta Tau reported to Lawrence Police that a man was in the house about 4 a.m. The woman said he was possibly taking pictures of her while she slept last Thursday.
Pi Beta Phi installed a high-tech security system vesteard.
The Recognition Systems, Inc. "Hand Key II" was put in at the front and back door of the sorority house. The system, which has been on the market for six months, scans and analyzes palms. It cost about $10,000.
The system is simple to use: A member enters her specific code, places her hand on a scanner and the door unlocks after it analyzes certain areas of her hand.
"I think it's good because anyone can get into a place that requires a code," Natalie Adams, secretary of Pi Beta Phi, said. "I'm excited for the security system because it increases the safety of all the girls in the house."
The new system replaced faulty finger-scanning equipment.
There were a few break-ins last year with the old system because the finger-scanner wouldn't operate in cold weather.
Other chapters aren't so concerned with recent reported break-ins.
The changes were made to prevent the entry of unauthorized persons from entering the house. Non-members had gotten the code and entered the house at various times of the night.
Paul Gor, president of Delta Delta Delta, said that the sorority has not had a problem with break-ins. The Olathe junior said that a guest speaker talked to the sorority about self defense and ways to protect oneself in the case of an emergency. The speaker offered pepper spray to each sorority member as a defense mechanism as well.
Since the change, only one break-in has been reported, said Kelsey Walsh. Leawood sophomore and Kappa Kappa Gamma event chairwoman.
operate in cold weather.
The system was not strong enough to read the sorority members' fingers when they were numb from the weather, Adams, Shawnee junior, said.
"I think a lot of girls learned from this and know now to be aware of their surroundings," Gor said. The Alpha Gamma Delta house, across campus.
As of this semester, the chapter requires the use of an index-scanning door mechanism to enter the house. Keypads with a universal code are also used.
Show aims to recruit
Kappa Kappa Gamma also has made some changes to prevent break-ins.

John Wessel, Dodge City freshman, chose to attend the University of Kansas largely based on his experience with the Rock Chalk Road Show last fall. Wessel liked the excitement and knowledge of the recruiters.
"They were really enthusiastic," Wessel said. "They told us going to college is important and that they have scholarships to make it easier."
The Rock Chalk Road Show is a University of Kansas recruitment event that targets western and central Kansas. It visits places such as Dodge City, Salina and Great Bend to promote the University to students who may not otherwise consider it a possibility.
Graphic by Cameron Monken/KANSAN
Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said she wants all Kansas students to know that the University is an opportunity for them. The road show began in Fall 2003.
Wessel is part of the first recruiting class of the road show. About 145 high school seniors across western and central Kansas attended the 2003 road show events.
But with only nine more students enrolled than in 2003 from targeted counties, it was hard to tell if the admission office-funded program had been successful, said Pinamonti Kress.
The University has a stigma of being
focused on business while Kansas State University is more focused on agriculture. Shalie Gaskill, Dodge City, freshman said. She also said that location is a big part of why students in western and central Kansas choose to attend Kansas State University instead of the University of Kansas.
Gaskill said she came to the University despite the stigma because she was looking for something different.
"KU also has the stigma of being prepy and upper-class versus K-State, which has a
more relaxed and hometown feeling." Gaskill said.
Out of 145 seniors who attended the 2003 road show, 83 students applied and 82

Throughout high school, Luke Johnson had planned to keep the tradition set by his father and brother by attending Kansas State University.
When admissions counselors from the University of Kansas visited his high school in Deerfield, a small town in southwest Kansas, he ignored them because his mind was made up. The University wasn't an option.
Johnson's plans changed after he decided to visit the University and fell in love with the atmosphere of Lawrence.
Now a senior at the University, Johnson studies graphic design. He transferred after two years at Garden City Community College.

Inspectors monitoring light fixtures after fire
BY TY BEAVER
tbeaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Chevron Energy Solutions, the Overland Park company that installed the lights in buildings arcund campus, hired American Sentry Security to report problems with the lights and ensure safety in the buildings, said Steve Spurgeon, Chevron marketing manager.
Fire inspectors from American Sentry Security have been roaming the halls of campus buildings at the University of Kansas.
The inspectors are part of an investigation led by Chevron Energy Solutions at the request of the University after a fire at Spencer Research Library on Jan. 7. The fire was caused by a
malfunctioning fluorescent light. Only the light fixture and a small area of carpet were damaged.
Inspectors were originally present in all the buildings but

Those buildings were chosen because of the high number of

people present in the buildings during the day, he said.
Andrew Box, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, said he told the patrols were a waste of money. A lot of people are in the buildings most of the time
and would notice a fire, he said.
Another student doesn't understand why a few personnel are hired to do something anyone in the building can.
"I think there are enough people in the building that if a light broke, there would be dozens of witnesses in seconds," said Jawad Nashatizadeh, Emporia graduate student.
He has seen the inspectors in high-traffic areas such as the first floor lobby of Haworth and
the bridge between Haworth and Malott Hall.
Inspectors should instead spend time in areas with less traffic where a problem would go unnoticed. Nashatizadeh said.
How long the inspectors stay on campus is uncertain. Spurgeon said, adding that a plan was submitted yesterday to decide how to proceed with the investigation.

Speed-dating event attracts more people than predicted
BY NEIL MULKA
nmulka@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Before yesterday, seventeen students had signed up for SUA's first speed-dating night.
None of those people showed up for the 6 p.m. event yesterday at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union.
But at the event's scheduled time, six people — two women and four men who hadn't signed up — arrived, and that was enough for Sean Hatfield, SUA Games and Novelties Coordinator and Bennington senior.
"We had a lot of competition,' Hatfield said. "There's a speed-reading lecture and we're showing also showing 'Constantine.'"
Speed-dating is designed for singles to get know each other quickly. The women sat at a table and the men rotated from table to table every five minutes.
Because there were two more men than women, the two who waited
drank coffee, talked to each other or studied. One played a bowling game on his cell phone to pass the time.
The participants sat at candle-lit tables and talked. The rules included no exchanging of contact information, not asking what the other person's major is, or anything work-related.
That's more second-date stuff, Hatfield said. Icebreakers like favorite foods and favorite movies were encouraged because these show more of a participant's personality.
After the conversations were over, the participants wrote down whom they thought they matched with on slips of papers and gave them to Hatfield. If two people wrote that they matched well, he will give them each other's e-mail addresses by tomorrow.
"It's a cheap way to have a bunch of first dates." Hatfield said.
For Ruth Seeliger, Winfield freshman, it's the number of people at the University of Kansas that makes finding dates hard.
In this case, it would have been more fun if more people had shown up, she said. Despite last night's low turnout, Nathan Hurd, Monterey, Calif., senior, said he would give it another shot.
A lot of people don't have the time to meet others on campus, or are transfers who don't know too many people, Hatfield said.
"It's kind of daunting because there are so many people," Seeliger said. "It's hard to find an excuse to talk to people."
Hurd also said he got a good idea of the people he talked to.
"I got as much as I needed to carry on a conversation later," Hurd said. "It was a good starting point."
The SUA is planning another Speed Dating night on March 16.
Next time, in order to increase participation, the SUA will publicize the event with flyers and prizes, Hatfield said.

Beer sales could alter KU events
Two main organizations that promote non-alcoholic activities on campus will have to re-think their strategies if beer is sold in the Kansas Union.
Hawk Nights and Student Union Activities hold some of their events in the Jaybowl and Hawk's Nest area, where beer will likely be sold if it is allowed in the union. But that all might change.
Hawk Nights adviser Trisha Gressick said she would be surprised if the organizations still held events in that area.
"Right now, I can't imagine doing something where alcohol is sold." Gresnick said. "However, it could be an educational opportunity to see responsible drinking first-hand."
Rachel Peart, Overland Park junior, and SUA president, said plenty of questions still remained concerning alcohol sales. But she said she was pleased that Student Senate proposed
the bill by asking to investigate
Peart said she was pleased that Student Senate proposed the bill by asking to investigate bringing alcohol into the union, rather than outright proposing the idea without research.
"Because of the way it was posed, it will definitely go to the right people to make the final decision," she said.
SUA holds many of its events at the union, but it also offers events at other locations like the Lied Center.
SUA and Hawk Nights already have had to adjust to some changes this year. Gresnick said a new organizational structure was implemented that allows students to become more
The idea of bringing beer sales to the union was discussed at the Memorial Corporation Board meeting earlier this month. At the meeting, Steve Munch, student body president and Bellevue, Neb., junior, said SUA and Hawk Nights would be accommodated if beer was sold in the union.
He also suggested that the sale of beer could cease during an SUA or another organization's event in the area where beer was sold.
involved in Hawk Nights and SUA planning.
Twelve students used to attend the board meetings for SUA and Hawk Nights, Gresnick said. Now more than 50 students show up, she said.
The petition for alcohol sales at the union, which was passed earlier this month, will either be accepted or rejected by the chancellor and provost. There is no deadline for the decision.
Alcohol sales at the union will not affect funds the organizations receive from the Alcohol Tux Grant, which is money produced from alcohol sales. The grant is only eligible for organizations that provide alternative programs. Hawk Nights received $16,500 from the grant this year.
The organizations have adjusted well, David Mucci, director of the KU Memorial Unions, said.

The 583 incidents reported to the National Clandestine Laboratory Seizure System by the state last year still represent far more than most other states.
TOPEKA — Kansas, a perennial fixture among states with the most methamphetamine laboratory seizures, has dropped off the top 10 list for the first time in a decade.
Meth bill passes first Kansas vote
But an estimated 10 percent drop in discoveries of labs, dumpsites, materials and equipment put Kansas 11th nationwide.
Larry Welch, director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, said the new
Even with the decrease in meth seizures, the statistics showed the pervasiveness of the highly addictive drug's production throughout the state. Of Kansas' 105 counties, 73 reported the discovery of some sort of meth-making evidence.
statistics were a hopeful sign.
"We've tried about everything to fight this plague, from education, prevention and prison to prayer," Welch said. "I'm pleased with the apparent success those efforts have shown."
The four counties reporting the most seizures — Crawford, Cherokee, Cowley and Allen — are all congregated in the state's southeastern corner. Together, the four account for about 43 percent of all the meth
seizures reported in Kansas last year.

The state's eastern neighbor,
Missouri, led the nation, as it has for
a number of years, with the most meth
seizures: 2.799 in 2004.
State lawmakers in both Kansas and Missouri are considering bills limiting the sale of cold medications that can be used to produce methamphetamine.
Oklahoma has passed similar legislation, which has been credited with a massive drop in drug lab seizures in that state.
In Kansas yesterday, the Senate gave first-round approval to its antimeth bill on a voice vote. Final action is scheduled for today, when passage would send the measure to the House.

Low funds limit league's city services
By JASON SHAAD

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Insufficient funding and lack of manpower will force Lawrence's oldest social service organization to make cuts.
The Social Service League of Lawrence has offered a variety of services to help get people back on their feet since 1888, Larry Northrop, league president, said.
But the league recently has cut its back-to-work clothing and clothing-coupon programs because it cannot afford them anymore, Susan Rickman, league treasurer, said.
The back-to-work program offered dress clothes to people who needed them for job interviews. Rickman said.
The clothing-coupon program offered discounted or free clothing from the league's thrift store at 905 Rhode Island St. These coupons were distributed to needy local school children, Rickman said.
Losing funding from the United Way, the league's largest contributor, was a big reason the league had to discontinue services, she said.
In 2003, the league received about $6,200 in funding from the United Way, which accounted for about 18 percent of its total income. This year the league will not receive any funding from the organization.
Rickman said the United Way required organizations to complete an audit every year that cost about $1,500. If the league had spent the money to complete the audit, it would have had to sacrifice more services that were
"I If five years from now things don't change, I think we'll have to close."

dependent on the United Way's full donation, she said.
"We're just not a good match for them," Brackman said. "Their rules and our programs just don't work together."
But the league is in dire circumstance and the increasing cost of utilities doesn't help the situation, Rickman said.
"If five years from now things don't change, I think we'll have to close," she said.
In addition to cutting two of its programs, the league also has reduced services that offer discounted eye examinations and new shoes to those with low incomes. The league will continue to operate its thrift store, but the hours are reduced, she said.
Northrop is searching for other sources of funding. He said he was hopeful that the league would pull through.
"When you run a nonprofit organization, it's an ongoing struggle," he said. "If we can't get funding from one place, then we'll find another."

Kansan sponsors tournament
The tournament, which is expected to bring in more than 100 people, is free to participants. Pumpelly said, but a $10 cash donation is appreciated.
The University Daily Kansan will host a Texas Hold'em poker tournament tonight at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8. Sixth St. The tournament will begin at 8 p.m. and should last about four hours, Chris Pumpelly, Kansan promotions manager, said.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the KU Habitat for Humanity, a student organization that gives students the opportunity to build housing for lower-income families.
Prizes for the tournament were donated by local businesses or purchased by the Kansan. The grand prize is a 40-gigabyte Apple iPod, Pumpelly said.
Last year's poker tournament raised more than $1,000 for KU graduate and meningitis survivor Andy Marso.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran and Syria, both are facing pressure from the United States, said yesterday that they will form a "united front" to confront possible threats against them, state-run television reported.
Iran and Syria talk of unity
"In view of the special conditions faced by Syria, Iran will transfer its experience, especially concerning sanctions, to Syria," Mohammad Reza Aref, Iran's first vice president, was quoted as saying after meeting Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Naji Otari.
Otari concurred, saying. "The challenges we face in Syria and Iran require us to be in one front to confront all the challenges imposed (on us) by others."
"At this sensitive point, the two countries require a united front due to numerous challenges."
The report did not specifically mention the challenges, but both countries are under U.S. economic sanctions and the targets of intense American pressure.

experience those things."
experienced In fall of 2003, the University had about 6,000 more students than Kansas State, but in 80 percent of Kansas counties, more students chose Kansas State over the University.
Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of admissions, said that part of the reason was because the University focuses more on recruiting out-of-state students than Kansas State.
"We are actually out recruiting out-of-state students," she said. "We want to have a balance of in-state and out-of-state at the University of Kansas, and as a flagship institution we historically have recruited out of state."
Johnson said he thought that stereotypes held by people at the University could play a role in how others perceive it.
Pat Bosco, dean of student life at Kansas State, said that his university was more successful at in-state recruiting because of the presence of alumni in Kansas towns who are influential in students' decisions to attend the university.
"I think there's a built-in momentum where we've had generations of students coming from a specific location, typically the bankers, the doctors, the presidents of boards of education, the lawyers are K-Staters," said Bosco.
Bosco said that Kansas State has been trying to send a representative to all high schools in Kansas for the past 25 years, and that it does not use any system to determine which schools get visited more often.
Jack Lafay, a high school counselor in Stanton County, said that residents of the county consider Kansas State "their school."
"K-State has a more aggressive way of recruiting," Lafay said, adding that representatives from Kansas State have more frequent contact with students from western Kansas than the University does.
Pinamonti Kress said that when members of the admissions office hear such complaints, they find that the
University has actually made more contacts with potentia students than Kansas State.
Lafay said he disagrees.
"The people in the admissions office at KU think western Kansas ends at Great Bend and have no regard for the western part of the country," Lafay said.
Pinamonti Kress said this perception is wrong. "So many people don't even think we recruit in western and central Kansas and that's not true," Pinamonti Kress said.
The University has a system to determine which schools it visits most often, Pinamonti Kress said. This semester, recruiters from the Office of Admissions and Scholarships have visited 223 of Kansas' 400 or so high schools.
Locations visited depends on how many students have applied from each school. Recruiters are sent to schools that have a higher rate of interest in the University. Schools without KU applicants aren't visited, Pinamonti Kress said.
Jessica McNickle, a former admissions counselor at KU, has several ideas of how recruiters could achieve more success in western Kansas.
Some of them include using alumni in the area, sending recruiters who are from the area and looking for towns with increasing enrollment at the University.
McNickle said she was able to overcome some of the hostility in western Kansas because of her childhood ties to the area.
"Utilize the alumni. They are very, very loyal because they are so basically persecuted out there." McNickle said. "And they will go pick out people from a high school class who they know will be good material for KU."
McNickle suggested the University study trends in county enrollment. Western Kansas schools have inconsistent enrollment at the University; some years several students enroll while the next year very few will enroll.
Edited by Kim Sweet Rubenstein
"It is difficult to define whether or not goals have been met," Pinamonti Kress said. "In my opinion, the road show is working because of the increased visibility in central and western Kansas."
Pinamonti Kress said prospective members, parents, high school counselors and alumni were happy with the increased efforts for recruitment in the areas.
During the day, admissions representatives traveled to high schools and community colleges in western and central Kansas and dropped off information about the University to students and counselors. At night, additional staff members joined the representatives, and they held receptions for prospective students and their parents.
She also said she did not think the success of the event could be determined only by numbers.
Scholarships are just one of the things admissions representatives focused on during the week-long program. The program also discussed academics and KU traditions.
The Rock Chalk Road Show will continue next fall, though visit locations haven't yet been decided.

of them were admitted to the University. That is approximately 56 percent of students who attended the road show. Forty-one students enrolled out of the 82 admitted. That is 50 percent of students who were admitted, according to a report by the Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
The University of Kansas is scheduled to host a summer camp fair on Feb. 23 at the fourth floor lobby of the Kansas Union. Twelve camps from across the United States are scheduled to be in attendance, which is standard for the first year, said Molly Cunningham, internship adviser for the Center for Career Services.
Recruit
Jennifer Jordan, director of the Business Career Services, said she suggests supplementing a camp job with an applied internship in finance or accounting. She said that the internship should teach skills that relate to a student's career goals.
"The Career Center in general is trying to coordinate events of all kinds to meet the needs of students." Cunningham said.
She said being a camp counselor was a great opportunity for freshmen and sophomores to use when outlining their leadership
"A finance or accounting employer will probably value a specific finance or accounting internship more than a camp iob." Jordan said.
skills on a resume. But it might not be the most beneficial.
Students who worked at camps have mixed reactions.
Greg Levy, former camp counselor and Nashville, Tenn., junior, said he thought an internship would be more beneficial.
would be a huge advocate of summer camps because I think they are awesome. But when it comes close to getting out of college and joining the real world, it is going to be more beneficial to have an internship on your resume," he said.
Leah Rafal, Omaha, Neb., junior, is leaving her camp job of four years because she needs to take classes this summer. She had no regrets about spending her time at camp instead of having an internship.
"Camp positions show that you can plan daily activities, hold leadership positions and be responsible for others," she said. "It shows employers that you have responsibility and that you had it at a young age."
as sales associates or waiters, camp jobs also show the ability to work as a team with 80 or 90 other staff members, Raful said.
in the past, summer camps have been invited to the second day of the all majors career fair, which was aimed at summer jobs.
Many camps could not afford the $500 to $1,000 fee organizations had to pay to attend the all majors career fair. As an alternative, the University will charge camps only $30 to attend the summer camps fair.
Though anyone can attend the summer camp fair, it is mostly aimed at underclassmen. Cunningham said it could be an alternative to students who didn't qualify for an internship or hadn't found an internship or other summer employment.
"We found that the majority of people attending the summer jobs fair were camps," Cunningham said. "We wanted to try something different to give them a more financial alternative and to set apart the camp experience from other jobs."
While a lot of people had jobs
Cunningham said it would depend on a student's overall career goals if she would suggest they go to camp for a summer rather than have an internship.

Dance society swings to the oldies
BY NEEL MULKA
nmulka@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Under dimmed lights, dozens of dancers weave seamlessly to big band music, stepping and swaving in time.
Conversation and laughter bounce between partners as they twist and slide their bodies as the time nears midnight.
It's a regular Tuesday night for the members of the KU Swing Society.
The society's primary mission is to keep the decades-old swing music and style alive, Misha Thompson, president of the society and Lawrence senior, said.
"I'm stuck in a lab all day," Alexander said. "I get to be social, relax and hold a beautiful woman. You can't beat that."
Richard Alexander, Oklahoma City graduate student likes the social aspect of the society.
Reasons for attending varies from attendee to attendee. Some dancers do it to relax while others like to hone their abilities.
The group meets every Tuesday at 9 p.m. on the second floor of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Swing dancing provides an opportunity for Emily Moisan, KU Ballroom Dance Club member and St. Charles, Mo. sophomore, room to experiment with improvisational dance moves.
"It's sort of like playing in a jazz combo versus an orchestra." Moison said. "There's a lot more improvisation with the moves."
Swing dance is a purely American dance, not in the patriotic sense, but in a way that connects generations, Greg Isaac, Besancon, France senior, said.
Issac said his grandmother would tell him stories about her days dancing.
"My grandmother and her friends would drive to Kansas City and would buy a bottle of whiskey to dance." Isaac said. "And they would not be done until that bottle was gone."

Every swing society meeting begins with a lesson for new people on the basics of the Lindy Hop, a popular variation of swing dancing.
Raw recruits
Looking like recruits fresh off a bus at boot camp, new members nervously line-up in two gender divided rows and learn a basic eight-count move taught by Isaac, Thompson and Terri Pohl, Omaha. Neb. junior.
"1-2-tri-ple-step! 5-6-7-and-8!" Thompson said in a rhythm, drill sergeant style, without the military harshness, as the members moved gingerly.
"Don't be afraid to jazz it up." she instructs. "Don't be afraid to sashay it."
A smile creeps across a woman's face after Isaac compliments the entire group for doing the move well.
After mastering the moves on their own, the learners couple up and dance together to Thompson's counts and claps.
"You know when somebody has fallen in love," Thompson said. "It's on their face. They do stuff that you've forgotten to do

or never thought of doing."
After the lesson is over, members dance to music until midnight.
For some of the swing dancers, Tuesday night isn't the only night they dance away.
Sometimes the dancing continues on Wednesday and Thursday nights in Kansas City, Pohl said, at bars such as the Jazz Kitchen, Westside or the Red Vine.
Swing scene
On the weekends, society members visit events hosted by similar dance groups in Kansas City such as the Kansas City Lindy Hop Society or the Kansas City Swing Dance Club, Thompson said.
The members also hold "swing bombs," which are unannounced public performances of dancing at places such as Wescoe Beach.
Alexander plans on attending a swing dance camp in San Diego, Calif., during Spring Break.
"We're usually greeted with curiosity," Thompson said. Music history

revival.
Another major revival in swing music is possible, said Matt Pool, society member and Lawrence sophomore.
Swing nights in Lawrence started at the Bottleneck, moved to the now-defunct Flamingo, to Abe & Jakes Landing and then to the ECM in 2001. Isaac said.
Thompson got into dancing during the neo-swing craze of the late '90s, when bands such as the Squirrel Nut Zippers were on MTV and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy played Super Bowl halftime shows.
"We were at a party and all of us girls were clamoring to learn," Thompson said. "And few of
us girls starting to sneak into bars and, of course, it snowballed from there."
"Major cultural events are repetitious," Pool said. "I would expect it come back again in 10 to 15 years."

Priest receives prison sentence
NATION
BOSTON — Defrocked priest Paul Shanley, whose crimes shook the Roman Catholic Church, was sentenced to 12 to 15 years in prison on child rape charges Tuesday to a burst of applause from some of the many who accused him of molesting them.
As a wobbly, 74-year-old Shanley was led away in handcuffs, one man called out mockingly, "Goodbye!"
Judge Stephen Neel condemned the former priest for using his revered status to prey on a little boy.
Shanley will be eligible for parole after eight years. He was sent away despite warnings from some inmate advocates that the notorious child-molester would be a marked man behind bars and that prison could amount to a death sentence.
Shanley, once known for a being a hip "street priest" who reached out to troubled children and homosexuals, was convicted last week of repeatedly raping and fondling a boy at his church during the 1980s.

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld a ruling against two reporters who could go to jail for refusing to divulge their sources about the leak of an undercover CIA officer's name.
The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit sided with prosecutors in their attempt to compel Time magazine's Matthew Cooper and The New York Times' Judith Miller to testify before a federal grand jury about their confidential sources.

MURDER
Soldiers deployed after nun's death

Federal policemen examine the burned car used by the killers of American missionary Dorothy Stang in the town of Anapu, Brazil yesterday. Stang was killed on Feb. 12, 2005.
Violence in Brazil prompts mobilization
BY MICHAEL ASTOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAPU, Brazil — About 2,000 soldiers headed to a lawless Amazon rainforest region yesterday, where an American nun was shot to death last weekend amid escalating violence between peasants and loggers vying for the area's vast natural resource riches.
The troops were sent to restore order hours after thousands of people converged on this remote Amazon town to bury the bullet-riddled body of Dorothy Stang, the 73-year-old nun who was killed trying to defend the jungle where she had lived for decades.
As mourners paid their last respects to Stang, a peasant and a former union president were found shot to death in the rural state of Para, where Anapu is located.
The soldiers were mobilized by Vice President Jose Alencar. Alencar is also Brazil's defense minister. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva cut short a visit to Suriname to return home and deal with the conflict.
Advocates for poor settlers in the region said the soldiers' presence will probably calm tensions for now. But they warned the violence in Para could easily spiral out of control again without solid steps to resolve the bitter disputes among settlers, land speculators and loggers and ranchers who hire gunmen to eliminate opponents.
"How long are these troops going to stay?" asked Bishop Tomas Balduino, president of the Roman Catholic Church-linked Land Pastoral group, which helps landless farmers throughout Brazil. "As soon as they leave, we'll be back in the same situation."
Hoping to restore order to an area where slave-labor and illegal logging is rife, the troops were to deploy in Anapu,
Paraupebas and Altamira, a small city along the Trans-Amazon Highway about 59 miles from Anapu, the official Agencia Brasil news agency reported.
Environmentalists, however, were doubtful that the soldiers alone could solve the region's problems. They were recently angered when the government quietly restored some logging permits in Para after loggers and ranchers staged protests by blocking roads
the root problems," said Nilo D'Avila, a coordinator for Greenpeace's Amazon Project.
It's an emergency and the Army has to go in to guarantee security, but we have to resolve
In the latest attacks, assailants gunned down Daniel Soares da Costa, the former president of Rural Workers Union in Paraupebas, about 210 miles from Anapu. Police said they did not know if there was a connection between his death and Stang's.
In addition, a farmer was found shot to death in an area where Stang had been trying to establish a sustainable development project for poor Brazilians, according to the O
Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper.
Estado de São Paulo, the Amazon, which covers more than half the country, has for centuries been a source of pride and problems for Brazilians as they tried to manage a region where oversight is as difficult as travailing its overgrown and treacherous territory.
Brazil's 1964-85 military government built the Trans-Amazon Highway and gave people free land in an attempt to populate the region. The plan drew settlers from the arid northeast as well as land speculators who took control of much of the timber.
Stang, a naturalized Brazilian originally from Dayton, Ohio, was attacked Saturday in a settlement 30 miles from Anapu. A witness said she began to read from a Bible before being shot at close range six times by two gunmen.
The Amazon is also a battleground between poor residents and ecologists on the one hand, and the logging companies and wealthy ranchers who have steadily pushed deeper into the world's largest rain forest. Development, logging and farming has already destroyed as much as 20 percent of the Amazon's 1.6 million square miles.
Stang, a Dominican nun, spoke out against the destruction and warned that land speculators were arming themselves.
Police were searching for four suspects in her death: two hired gunmen, an intermediary and the man they say ordered the killing.

Iran on the defense, confirms U.S. spying
BY ALI AKBAR DAREINI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — An explosion in a southern city prompted instant fears yesterday of a missile attack in an area where Iran has a nuclear facility, and Iranian authorities gave conflicting explanations for the blast — including Iranian friendly fire in a military area and construction work.
The explosion came hours after the country's intelligence chief confirmed U.S. drones have been flying over Iran for months to spy on nuclear and military facilities.
U. S. and Israeli officials denied involvement with the blast, but it spiked oil prices and showed how jittery the world is that growing international pressure would lead to an attack on Iran.
The explosion near the southwestern port city of Deylam, about 110 miles from the Bushehr nuclear facility, was reported by Iranian state television, which said it may have been caused by a fuel tank dropping from an Iranian plane. A government spokesman said the blast may have been caused by

Later, a top security official said the blast was part of construction work on a dam. The official, Ali Agha Mohammadi of the Supreme National Security Council, said Iran's enemies were not in a position to attack Iran.
"Such reports are mostly a psychological war," he said.
The United States accuses Iran of having a secret program to make nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear activities are for peaceful energy purposes.
The report of the explosion spread quickly, with some Iranians calling friends to tell them there had been an attack.

Israel has warned that it may consider a preemptive strike against Iranian nuclear installations along the lines of its 1981 bombing of an unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor near Baghdad.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said a military strike against Iran was "not on the agenda at this point," but President Bush has said his administration wouldn't take any option off the table.
However, Interior Ministry spokesman Jahanbakhsh Khanjani dismissed rumors of a hostile attack and noted that Iranian military aircraft routinely fly in the area.
"There is a big possibility that it was a friendly fire by mistake," he told The Associated Press. "Several such mistaken friendly fire incidents have been reported there in recent days."
ing on condition of anonymity, denied there had been any anti-aircraft fire and said there were no military exercises in the area at the time. The official also said the explosion did not stem from a hostile attack.
"It's not very unusual that planes drop their additional fuel tank while flying but the general public assume it's a bomb or missile attack. The army is investigating the incident," he said.

A senior army official, speak-
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said there was no U.S. involvement, and CIA Director Porter Goss said he knew nothing about it.
Earlier yesterday, Iran's Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi publicly confirmed for the first time that the United States has been flying surveillance drones over Iran's airspace to spy on its nuclear and military facilities.
"Most of the shining objects that our people see in Iran's airspace are American spying equipment used to spy on Iran's nuclear and military facilities," the minister told reporters.
His remarks confirmed a Sunday report in The Washington Post that quoted unidentified U.S. officials as
saying the drones have been flying over Iran for nearly a year to seek evidence of nuclear weapons programs.
"These activities won't reveal anything to them," Yunesi said of the Americans. "Our nuclear activities are open and very transparent. Our military activities are all legal."
"If any of the bright objects come close, they will definitely meet our fire and will be shot down. We possess the necessary equipment to confront them," Yunesi said.
Last month, Yunesi said the United States had been conducting aerial surveillance, but he mentioned neither drones nor nuclear and military sites.
Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told reporters in London yesterday that Iran will have the knowledge to build nuclear weapons within six months.
U.S. ambassador pulled from Syria
WASHINGTON — The United States pulled its ambassador from Syria on Tuesday, expressing "profound outrage" over the assassination of a Lebanese leader who had protested Syrian influence in his country.
In Lebanon, noisy street processions mourned former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri a day before the funeral that will bring international leaders to Beirut. Angry Lebanese attacked Syrian workers in his hometown of Sidon, injuring several and shattering the windows of a Syrian-owned bakery.

"We believe the Lebanese people must be free to express their political preferences and choose their own representatives without intimidation or the threat of violence,"State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said in announcing the imminent return of U.S. Ambassador Margaret Sobey.

Shiite candidate seeks Iraqi office
BAGHDAD, Iraq — The shy family doctor who became the leading candidate for prime minister Tuesday says ending the nation's rampant violence is his top priority and that U.S. troops would remain as long as they are needed to achieve that goal.
In an exclusive Associated Press interview, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a 58-year-old moderate Shiite Muslim politician who fled a brutal crackdown by Saddam Hussein in 1980, also talked about drafting a constitution that will draw not only on Islam for inspiration.
He said he supports women's rights, including the right to be the president or prime minister, as well as self-determination and individual freedoms for all Iraqis. The Associated Press

Kyoto Pact signers want U.S.to join
KYOTO, Japan — Amid fanfare marking the enactment of the Kyoto global warming pact, leading proponents laid out their next goals Wednesday: persuading the United States to join the world crackdown on emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases.
But the largest emitter of such gases, the United States, has refused to go along with the restrictions, saying they are flawed and could hurt its economy.

Recycling only small part of bigger conservation picture
Press
The closet underneath the stairs in my house currently houses a pile of chipboard about three feet high.
My roommates and I have earnestly been hoarding chipboard boxes for more than a month.
PAGE 7A
STEPHANIE LOVETT slovett@kansan.com
Meanwhile, an overflow
ing carton of 20 plus plastic bottles sits next to its overflowing glass-holding cousin in our kitchen.
We should have taken the trip from our Tennessee Street apartment to the Wal-Mart recycling center weeks ago. But this situation doesn't bother us because we are filled with the heart-warming knowledge that while this trash may be overtaking some corners of our home, it won't be going to a landfill.
We recycle. And recycling is a good thing.
But how often do you think about the first two? Most likely, not often enough. And though you may not remember, the three R's represent a hierarchy — with reducing and reusing at the top.
Unfortunately, what my roommates and I too often forget is that recycling alone isn't enough. You've surely heard about the three R's: reduce, reuse and recycle.
"We actually see it as more valuable and important to reduce waste before we generate it," said Gary Bertram, environmental engineer for the EPA.
Recycling has increased. Twice as much trash was recycled in 2001 than in 1990. On the other hand, it is easy to forget about reducing and reusing potential waste because it is hard to measure, said Jeff Severin, director of The University of Kansas Environmental Stewardship Program.
Recycling provides tangible evidence of decreasing waste. Hence, why we all feel so good when we do it. But recycling is just a part of preventing waste from ending up in landfills.
"Recycling has value when it is part of a system of waste reduction." Severin said.
There are some environmentalists who are against recycling on the premise that its practice lulls people into thinking they are helping the environment when reducing waste is more important, Severin said. And recycling isn't solving the problem entirely.
In 2001, Americans generated more than 229 million tons of trash, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. That is about 4.4 pounds per person per day, up from 2.7 pounds in 1960. Meanwhile, the number of land-fills in the United States is decreasing, down from 8,000 in 1988 to 1,858 in 2001.
With that kind of waste generation, we need to pay closer attention to the sources of our
waste. This is especially true since even as recycling has increased, consumption has followed suit, said Mollie Mangerich, operations supervisor of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recyclving.
If the waste situation isn't that bad, the worker looks
and reuse your waste, I've got a better bottom line — it will save you money.
Businesses, especially, are more efficient and save cash when they hire environmental consultants, said Bertram. The same goes for individuals. For example, reusing a coffee mug is cheaper than continually buying disposable cups.
Because containers and packaging make up about 32 percent of the waste in the United States, with food scraps claiming 11.4 percent, start with reducing what you buy.
Buy things you will need over time in bulk, such as detergent or your favorite cereal. Buy juice in concentrate form — it has less packaging. Don't buy disposable silverware and plates. Don't print everything when you research. Save URLs and documents through your e-mail account.
Decline a bag when you can carry your purchases without one.
Get off unwanted mailing lists. Go to http://www.dmaconsumers.org/offmailinglist.html for more information. In general, if all else is equal, choose products with less packaging. And if you have extra food, share it instead of trashing it.Next on the list is reusing. As college students, we are good at reusing anyway. We share music files and DVDs freely.
The same philosophy should be applied to furniture, appliances and clothes. You may think your ratty-looking dresser is of no use to anyone, but you would be wrong. Why not offer it to friends or list it on www.freecycle.org? Freecycle.org is a Web site that allows people to list free items they don't want for others to claim. Just navigate to Lawrence's group.
Reuse paper that has been printed on for scratch paper or list-making. Buy reusable containers, such as hand soap.
Waste reduction saves money and the environment. And unlike recycling, which can require trips to a recycling center, reducing and reusing waste products takes no time. All it requires is behavior modification.
Carry a durable water bottle instead of buying disposable ones. When you do get bags at grocery stores, select the kind you'll be most likely to reuse.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Coulter's different opinion no cause for demand her silence
I find it very interesting, but not surprising, that Ray Pence, who was commenting about Ann Coulter's upcoming speech, was a little off target. Coulter is one of this country's leading examiners of American politics, both foreign and abroad.
Whether or not one agrees with her ideas should not deter students and free thinkers at this University from embracing the fact that this institution can have such a function.
It embraces very important notions of freedom the First Amendment seeks to establish: the freedom of speech and assembly. We, as students and faculty of a high profile liberal arts University, ought not lessen our degree of intellectual prowess by succumbing to pointless
partisan banter when we all can actually learn from another's differences.
However, on the partisan side, how is Ms. Coulter's occasional jab at liberals and their hypocrisy any different than Al Franken and his often slanderous and insulting shots at conservatives? Or filmmaker Michael Moore's activities for that matter? I see no difference.
Personally, I think it's about time that a prominent conservative voice will be exposed to this University.
The difference in conservative views and the atmosphere of this University will only render true American intellectual competition. I don't think that's so bad.

WHAT WAS I THINKING?
HOWARD DEAN: DEMOCRATIC AMBASSADOR

Legislators whittle away time, money with stupid bills
10. 3.27
Last week, legislator Algie Howell presented a bill to the Virginia House of Delegates proposing that anyone caught in public with his or her "below-waist undergarments" showing be fined up to $50. The House passed delegate Howell's House Bill No. 1981.
WHEATON ELKINS
wellkins@kansan.com
When I think of this particular piece of legislation, and then think of the legislative process in general, I develop a mental image of a well-oiled machine. Like a shiny, silver bullet train. Rolling down the tracks. That suddenly hits a penny on the rail, lurches violently into the air, screams over a trestlework — a line of twisting metal plummeting into a deep raviine and exploding in a fireball, raining diesel fuel and little pieces of Samsonite luggage onto drought-struck land.
I may have overdone that just a bit.
People who follow politics, and people in general, should be disappointed when an elected official devotes his time to underwear.
A Virginia delegate makes $17,640 per year. One applauds delegate Howell's passion to represent fellow citizens — he certainly isn't getting rich from it. But one also asks what, for $17,640, are thosecitizens getting?
Not much.
The Web site for the governor of Virginia, Mark Warner, displays a different view on his state's needs. The governor seems most interested in boosting "economic development in Virginia's rural communities" through the Virginia Works initiative, promoting healthy eating and exercise, providing the state's school system with the $525 million, it needs to reach its standards, and maintaining the state's recently lauded fiscal responsibility. Visible "below-waist undergarments" didn't appear to be a major concern.
And The Virginian-Pilot, the newspaper covering much of delegate Howell's district — including the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk and Virginia Beach — depicts a typical American community facing typical problems. Again, underpants aren't an issue.
So House Bill No. 1981 was a waste of time because delegate Howell actually thought up and wrote down the bill. Although just how much time that took is debatable.
Then the legislature debated and voted on the bill, and according to The Richmond Times-
Dispatch, lawyers quibbled over its constitutionality.
The American Civil Liberties Union even chimed in, denouncing the bill and pointing to our Constitution, which clearly protects us and our underwear from government intrusion.
This legislative silliness is by no means confined to Virginia — supposedly, in Kansas, you can't use a mule to hunt ducks — or to state assemblies in general.
The United States Congress knows how to waste time, too. In fact, a cursory review of the Congressional Record reveals that they're professional procrastinators.
My favorite example of this is a speech from last June. A representative, also from Virginia, addressed the House and glorified "the Nation's largest white oak tree," from Brunswick County, Virginia. He then lent his support to a bill aimed at making the oak tree the national tree.
"Long may the great Brunswick County white oak stand." he said.
A tree? Congress is talking about a tree?
Worse yet is the antiquated formality with which the House and Senate conduct business:
Senator Mumps: "Mr. Speaker, if I could have the floor?"
Speaker Measles: "The speaker recognizes the Honorable Mumps. The floor is yours."
Senator Mumps: "Before I begin, Mr. Speaker, if I could just commend your leadership of this hallowed chamber."
Speaker Measles: "Mr. Mumps, are you kissing me down where my below-waist undergarments are?"
Of course, not all politicians waste time and money. According to *The Virginian-Pilot*, a panel of Virginia senators unanimously rejected delegate Howell's bill. Which is a good thing.
Since then, Algie Howell has been roundly ridiculed. And I feel sorry for him, but not sorry enough to not write this column.
Besides, this column allows me to make an announcement: I, Wheaton Elkins, do hereby declare my candidacy for Congress. I promise to work hard and keep my hands off your underpants.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL 66-53
Jayhawks pillaged
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@hansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
At the 13:45 mark in the first half, junior guard Erica Hallman nailed a jump shot to close the early Texas Tech lead to five. 15-10.
Then the Lady Raiders ran away with the game.
Less than three minutes later, No. 15 Texas Tech, 18-5 (9-3 Big 12), had scored 13 points while Kansas went scoreless and let the game get out of hand. When the smoke cleared, the Jayhawks found themselves trailing by 18. Despite a second-half charge, the deficit proved too big and the layhawks fell. 66-53.
"We fought back, but it felt like we were climbing a mountain." Hallman said.
Following the brutal Lady Raider run, the Jayhawks had a chance to climb back in the game, but stalled offensively in the late minutes of the first half. During an eight minute Texas Tech scoring drought, Kansas, 11-12 (4-8), managed only four points.
"I remember looking up and seeing 28 on the board for a while, but we just couldn't make any shots," junior forward Crystal Kemp said.
For the first half, the Jayhawks shot an awful seven-for-28 from the field and found themselves down 37-16 at the break.
Despite the hefty disadvantage coming out of halftime, Kansas fought back and outscored Texas Tech by eight in the second. The Jayhawks were simply unable to dig themselves out of their early hole.
Texas Tech earned its early lead on a quick-strike led by point guard Erin Grant. The 5-foot-8 junior ran an efficient Raider break that resulted in easy scores in transition, which built the lead. Grant posted nine assists for the game.
"You're not going to beat Texas Tech making them shoot layups," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
On the defensive end, the Texas Tech guard play proved to be nearly as much of a nuisance.
KANSAS

Hallman and senior guard Aquanita Burras faced tough on-ball pressure and struggled to get the ball down low to Kemp, the leading scorer.
"Credit to them for preventing that," Kemp said.
When the ball did get to Kemp, the Raider frontcourt asserted its presence. Forwards LaToya Davis and Alesha Robertson and center Cisti Greenwalt combined for 36 of the team's 66 points.
"Anytime you've got someone 6-5 guarding you, that's a little intimidating." Kemp said.
Defensively, Texas Tech's 6-foot-5 senior Greenwalt primarily guarded Kemp and held the 6-foot-1 forward to only seven first-half points on three-for-nine shooting.
Aquanita Burras, senior guard, drives to the basket past Texas Tech's Erin Grant, junior guard, during the first half.
Without a potent inside game, Kemp stepped outside in the second half and had success against the Texas Tech defense with mid- and long-range jumpers. Kemp finished with 19 points, a game high, and 10 rebounds for her eighth double-double of the season.

An opening day victory warmed up the fans and players at Hoglund Ballpark last night, as the Kansas baseball team defeated South Dakota State. 8-2.
The Jayhawks were forced to deal with the reality of their home state's climate after their season opening series in Hawaii and California. The adjustments appeared easy to make, as the team out hit the Jackrabbits, 11-6.
"It's not too bad," Gus Milner, Kansas junior center fielder, said of the weather. "We've been kind of blessed with the nice weather in Hawaii, but it's good to be back in our hometown."
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
The Jayhawks came out hot and scored two runs in the first inning. Junior shortstop Ritchie Price hit an RBI double, followed by an RBI single from senior catcher Sean Richardson.
The hits continued to fly off the bats of the Jayhawks as if they had been playing in 40-degree weather for months. The bottom of the second brought seven Kansas batters to the plate. They made the most of the two walks from South Dakota State starter Francisco Torres by adding two doubles and a single. Torres finished his outing after five innings, giving up six runs off of eight hits. He walked four and struck out three in the Jackrabbits' first game of 2005.

Milner led off the second inning with a stand-up double to left. Matt Baty, junior left fielder, joined in with an RBI single and was followed by a double off the bat of junior first baseman Jared Schweitzer.

Jeremy Case, sophomore guard, practices yesterday afternoon with the rest of the basketball team at Horeksi Family Athletics Center.
Sophomore guard Jeremy Case, freshman forward Matt Kleinmann and sophomore guard Rodrick Stewart haven't played in a single basketball game this season.
Though none of them have helped the Kansas men's team on the court in any of its 20 victories, they are an integral part of the Jayhawks' success behind the scenes.
"They pretty much do the same thing as everyone else," coach Bill Self said. "They are more involved in game preparations with the scout team. Once we started playing games, we got that scout team to go run the kind of stuff we're going to guard, and run our defense against it. Matt and Jeremy are on that team always."
The three players, who have taken redshirts and cannot play this year, have what might be the most difficult
task of anyone in practice.
They have to study film and mimic playing styles of opponents, then play against starters in practice. And, unlike active players, their hard work isn't rewarded with playing time.
"It's all about making the starters better and giving them something to look at in practice," Kleinmann said. "It makes every day a challenge coming out to practice. If I can help them, it's going to make them better, and it's really just a win-win situation."
Kleinmann, a recruited walk-on,
doesn't get to go to every game.
Because of a Big 12 Conference rule that allows visiting teams to bring no more than 15 players to road games, he sat in the stands when Kansas traveled to Kansas State last week.
"I don't feel out of place," he said.
"Obviously, I wish I was playing, but overall I just feel like one of the guys."
The 6-foot-10 Overland Park native said he was playing the best basketball of his life, and that playing against senior forward Wayne Simien every day is an advantage not many freshmen around the country have.
Self said he liked the way Kleinmann looked and hinted that he could make the same kind of improvement junior forward Christian Moody made.
"I see him developing into a guy that can play," Self said. "I think he's a terrific kid and he's going to be a good basketball player. He's improved immensely and whether or not he can contribute in games is totally up to him."
Another Jawhawk that hasn't seen the court this year is Stewart, a transfer from the University of Southern California. Because he transferred after the first semester, he is required to sit out the remainder of this season, and all of the fall semester.
He played guard at USC, and his duties are the same as a normal walk-on.

Women's basketball gaining ground
Needless to say, this was not the lavhawks' best effort.
Sloppy passes, missed layups and pointless fouls characterized the Kansas women's basketball team's 66-53 loss to Texas Tech last night.
The team's future was definitely in doubt.
As ugly as last night's game was — Kansas never led and trailed by as many as 21 points — things were not as grim as they've been in years past. By this time last year, Kansas was under an interim coach, had won just two conference games and was mired in a four-game losing streak, on the way to finishing out the season losing 10 straight. Oh, and at some point in there, coach Marian Washington officially retired.
Give credit to Henrickson for changing the entire attitude of this lavhawk team.
Along came coach Bonnie Henrickson, and things turned around in a hurry. This season, the team has won four conference games — compare that to last year's two — and consistently hangs around in the games that it loses.
"It ites way better," junior guard Erica Hallman said of how last year and this year relate. "We're getting better every day, I think. We take steps in the right direction, this year, every time we step on the court."
It's been said before, and it's worth mentioning again: this team wasn't supposed to win a conference game this season. Granted, the Big 12 North is down — way down — but Kansas lost two of its top three players and was being forced to learn a whole new system.
When the dust settled after last season's departures, Henrickson sat down with her team. Every time she spoke in public, she cautioned the public not to expect too much from this team, at least in terms of victories and losses.
Every chance she got, though, she talked about how proud fans would be of this team's character and intensity. Heck, she said it so much the Athletics Department turned it into one of its radio commercials.
"It is from sunup to sundown that we handle ourselves with respect for where we are, the opportunity we have and the challenges in front of us." It's on the radio all the time.
Somewhere along the line of respecting where they are and the challenges in front of them, Henrickson's Jayhawks decided they weren't going to settle to spend another season as an also-ran in the Big 12. Henrickson noticed it in some of the team's first meetings.
"Just visiting with them, back in the spring, there was a confidence about them that they expected to be successful. At the time I thought that's a little bit alarming, considering where we are, but what's been good in recognizing that is they don't go in to a place and play scared." Henrickson said.
With four games to go, Kansas has a tenuous on eighth place in the conference. If the team can hold on to that spot, it would finish better than it has since the 1999-2000 team finished fourth.
Sure it's tough. Dates with Nebraska (receiving votes in the Associated Press poll) and No. 7 Baylor loom at home, while the team travels to No. 18 Kansas State and No. 19 Iowa State.
No, it's not going to be easy to finish out the season, but these 'Hawks play as though they expect to win. Confidence has to count for something.

Kansas City baseball pitcher will not earn royal salary
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Although Jeremy Affeldt lost his arbitration hearing with the Kansas City Royals, he said he was not bitter about what he called a difficult process.
called a difficult process.
The left-handed closer who made $350,000 last year wanted a boost to $1.2 million after earning 13 saves, but the arbitration panel decided he should get the $950,000 the Royals offered.
"It's not fun because you and the team are in competition," Affeldt said yesterday at the Royals' spring training facility, where he was an early arrival. "You are trying to prove to three judges that you are worth what you are asking."
Affeldt, 25, who is penciled in as the Royals' closer for this season, said he knows most people would be happy with the raise he got.
"My dad said, 'I know you're upset about losing the arbitration hearing, but I'll take your raise over mine.' Affeldt said.
Affeldt said he's not going to pout over the arbitration because he understands that it's the business side of the game.
"I'm not bent out of shape over it. I'm not mad at the arbitrator. There's not any kind of bitterness toward the Royals," he said.
Affeldt missed 48 games last season with a torn right oblique muscle. He also was on the disabled list in 2002-03 with recurring finger blisters and a split fingernail. The Royals used those injuries against him in the hearing.
"A torn oblique and blisters are not the most common injuries," Affeldt said. "I'm healthy now."
common injuries, Amelia said. He said the Royals also brought up his 13-14 overall record and the club's record.
"They said I played on two of three teams that lost 100 games, that I had losses and blown saves," Affeldt said.
saves, Amand said.
Affeldt entered last season as the Royals' No. 3 starter, but after going 0-3 with a 5.24 ERA in eight starts was moved to the bullpen.
eight starts "I've got to stay healthy and do my job," Affeldt said. "I plan on them leaving me in one role this year."

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
Kansas coach Bill Self was in an awkward position yesterday at his weekly press conference.
Three days ago, his team lost a heartbreaker in double overtime at Texas Tech, and in just two days, a white-hot Iowa State team comes to town.
town. "We shouldn't even be talking about the Texas Tech game," Self said. "We have a huge game Saturday against Iowa State."
Whether he liked it or not, Self spent a large portion of his time talking about the Jayhawks most recent loss.
He said he watched Texas Tech sophomore forward Darryl Dora's game-winning shot several times and wished he had done a few things differently on the game's deciding play.
"I've replayed that a thousand times in my mind," he said. "We shouldn't have stayed zone. I think we made the percentage play, but maybe not the right play."
His players appeared to be tired by the second overtime, and Self said that he should have used his bench more.
In Monday's game, Self decided to play his starters for the majority of the time. Junior guard Jeff Hawkins did not play, and freshman forward C.J. Giles saw only a few minutes of action.
"Just because they are getting
"If I had known the Texas Tech game was going into two overtimes, I would have played the bench more," Self said.
Self said the combination of the tough environment in United Spirit Arena and player injuries were the reasons why he relied so heavily on his starters.
back and are suited up, that doesn't mean they are ready to play," he said. "I would say Giles is probably at 85 percent. He just really hasn't had a chance to get out there and work in practice."
Freshman forward Alex Galindo played for the first time since a game against the Texas Longhorns on Jan. 29.
"Alex is a little different. He can go if he can tolerate the pain," Self said. "I would like for Alex to be able to play because he gives us a threat as a big guy." Kennes basketball notes
Bill Self coaches Sasha Kaun during the second half of the victory over Washburn at the beginning of the season. Self and the other coaches will help the Jayhawks put the loss to the Red Raiders behind them and look to Saturday's game against Iowa State
At yesterday's practice in Horejsi Family Athletics Center, players stretched and prepared to practice for the first time since receiving their first conference loss.
The team was carefree and seemed to have put the Texas Tech game behind them.
"Nice eye," sophomore guard J.R. Giddens jokingly told senior guard Aaron Miles. "You must have been fooled pretty hard there."
Miles, who still has a large black spot under his right eye laughed and went on his way.
"I get funny looks every where I go now," Miles said. "Some people might think I got beat up. Most people want to see it and tell me it was a foul though."
The Portland, Ore., native said the bruise he received after being called for traveling in Monday's game had gotten a lot of attention around campus.
- Players and coaches talked
about the danger of leaving the court Monday while thousands of Texas Tech students rushed the court. They said they were never worried about getting injured.
"I wasn't worried about getting trampled," Miles said. "You've got to stand your ground when the stampede comes."
Though no one was hurt, Self said it could have been better controlled.
one was hurt, Self said it could have been better controlled. "It is dangerous and I think the security should be better," Self said. "I would think that you could control that. All it takes is for one person to chicken-wing somebody and the player retaliates out of frustration and then you have a law suit on your hands."

HUMANITIES
After watching her beat all his older friends in pick-up games when she was in eighth grade, Chris Kemp knew his sister, Crystal, was destined for greatness.
On her first shot attempt of last night's game, junior forward Kemp achieved a new level of greatness. As her long-range jump shot swished through the net, she became the 18th player in Kansas women's basketball history to score 1,000 points as a lavawk.
"We're excited for her," coach Bonnie Henrickson said following her team's 66-53 loss to No. 10 Texas Tech last night in Allen Fieldhouse. "That is a credit to her consistency throughout her career. Her coaches are all proud of her and we would gladly take another thousand in the next year and a half."
Kemp's mother, Janice Kemp,
was at a loss for words following
last night's game. After years of
watching her daughter grow, she was proud to see her achieve such a special milestone.
"I am very proud of her," said Janice. "I thank God for her every day, I knew with her long arms and big fingers that she would be good, but I had no idea she would do something like this."
Chris Kemp, who played basketball at Sterling College, may be the biggest reason for Crystal's success. He allowed Crystal to join him and his friends when they played pick-up games in the neighborhood.
Crystal Kemp, junior forward, is awarded the game ball by Bonnie Henrickson for scoring her 1.000th career point during the first half.
"He used to always pick me first for his team," Crystal said. "Of course, everyone would always underestimate me, but we went out there and killed."
Getting to play against tough competition at such a young age benefited Kemp tremendously. Most of the kids she played against were three or more years older than her. That experience, Kemp said, has helped her to be where she is today.
"I was the typical little girl, following in my brother's footsteps," Crystal said. "Playing with them definitely helped me, especially with my size and my quickness. I went out there and played hard and had fun, something I still do today."
holding her own, but beating most of the bigger and older players out on the court, Chris Kemp knew she had'a bright future ahead of her.
"When I saw her dominating against my friends, I knew she was going to be really good," Chris said. "I knew that if she could stay healthy, and end up going to a good school like KU, she could do something like this.
KANSAS 40
When Crystal was not only
Kemp also became just the 11th player in the program's history to score 1,000 or more points and to grab 500 or more rebounds. She finished the game with her eighth double-double of the season, scoring 19 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. She played all 40 minutes.
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
Kemp has made an impact on the court since her arrival in Lawrence three seasons ago. She has played and scored in all 80 of her games at Kansas. She is 11th on the all-time list in career field goal percentage, at 50.3 percent. She is just behind Kelly Jennings, who is 10th at 50.8 percent.
This season, Kemp has extended her range. In last night's contest, she scored many of her points on long-range jumpers. She even knocked down a three-pointer in the first half.
"I've been able to practice them more," Crystal said. "It's just a matter of me taking my time."
With 1,018 points, Crystal needs only six points to pass Tracy Claxton for 17th on the all-
time scoring list. If she continues at her current pace, she could wind up as high as seventh on the all-time scoring list. Currently, Charisse Sampson is seventh, with 1,568 points for her career, 550 points ahead of
Kemp. She would need to average 16.2 points per game for the rest of her career to surpass Sampson. Kemp is averaging 14.1 points per this season.

Even as Kemp helped lift Kansas back, a steady Texas Tech squad proved too much. The Lady Raiders' shooting remained rock-solid as the Jayhawks charged back, hitting at a 57-percent clip for the game.
Henrickson said the problem started at the onset of the contest, when the Jayhawks simply did not bring their best effort to the court.
"We didn't match their intensity." Henkrickson said. "You just can't dig yourself out of that big of a hole."

Kansas will need better focus for its remaining schedule, which features three more ranked opponents.
—Edited by Kendall Dix
The final Big 12 contest against an un-ranked opponent is Sunday, when Kansas takes on Nebraska at 1 p.m. The Cornhuskers took the first match-up 59-48 in Lincoln, Neb.
The three runs scored in the bottom of the second was the most the Jayhawks put together in an inning, but the scoring hardly slowed down. A run scored in each of the fourth, sixth and eighth innings left Kansas with eight total runs, more than enough to seal the victory.
Baty, who was named the first Big 12 player of the week for the 2005 season last week, remained dependable at the plate, going 2-for-3. Schweitzer made the biggest offensive impact on a 2-for-2 day with three RBI.
"I was expecting a good hit or two. Hit the ball hard was all I was really trying to do," Schweitzer said.
Coach Ritch Price was said he was pleased with his team's effort at the plate, especially the performances of Schweitzer and Milner.
"Milner's gotten off to a good start," Price said. "Schweitzer is a really good hitter and we need him to contribute. It was nice to see him get a couple of

clutch RBI today."
Offensively, the Jackrabbits were led by senior left fielder Pat Farrell, who went 2-for-3, knocking in one of their two runs. Center fielder Korby Mintken, a freshman, had the other RBI and went 2-for-4 on the day.
South Dakota State did not score until the seventh because of the pitching of Kansas junior right-hander Kodiak Quick. He threw seven innings, allowing two runs and scattering six hits. Andrew Rebar, senior right-handed pitcher, came in for the eighth to set up right-handed closer Czvyz.
"I didn't think he [Quick] was as sharp as he was in his two starts in Hawaii," Price
said. "I think that's a credit to how good his stuff is." He was really efficient in the first four or five innings."
Quick said he was glad to have won the game, but realized his pitching can be better than what he gave last night.
"I could've done better. I left some pitches up," Quick said.
"But the outcome was a win and that's what matters."
Price was satisfied with Quick's performance, but said the Jayhawks will need more out of Czyz, who walked two in just one inning of work.
"He has to be a strike-thrower, especially with what his role is." Price said.
Price said that Czyz w would get a chance to rest and not throw in today's game. Price said he would play Czyz in both games of Friday's double header to help the closer find his rhythm.
Senior right-hander Clint Schambach (1-1) is slated to start game two of the series at 3 p.m. today in Hoglund Ballpark.

Self said he was full of energy in practice and, like Kleinmann, gave the team something unique to look at in practice.
"If you don't put a body on him he will dunk everything," Self said. "He is a nice asset, and he will be a solid player for us."
The other redshirt, Case, came to Kansas two years ago as a highly touted recruit.
He still has the reputation of a deadly perimeter shooter.
He only made six three-pointers his freshman year, but with a year's time to improve, and three years of eligibility remaining, his play has vastly improved since the last time he was on the court during a game, Case said.
"I feel like it's my job to step up next year," Case said. "I feel like I'm an upperclassman and I need to be a leader. I feel like my defense has improved a lot, and just seeing the game has helped so
much."
The Oklahoma City native decided to take a redshirt because he was suffering from a groin injury before the season began.
He said that, looking back, he made the correct decision.
"Redshirting was a good idea, actually. Knowing all the guards we have, I know my time would have been limited, he said.
"I know it will be best for the team, because we're going to be young next year and I can help out more than if I were playing two or three minutes a game now."
Self agreed, and said Case needed to develop into a consistent threat from behind the are for next year's team to be good.
"Next year's team is going to need good perimeter shooting," Self said. "We need him to be stronger and better defensively and better ball handling, those type of things, so he can play to his strength, which is shooting."

Russian tennis player finds home at Kansas
Freshman balances new settings
KANSAS ATHLETICS
leff jacobson/KANSAS ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Elizaveta Avdeeva, Obninsk, Russia, freshman, lunges for the ball during a match against Texas in Overland Park Sunday. Avdeeva came to Kansas from Russia in hopes of pursuing both an education and her love for tennis.
BY RAHUH SHARMA
rsharma@kansan.com
KANSAN SCOOPWRITER
Freshman tennis player, Elizaveta Avdeeva is in her first semester in the United States and her first semester of college at the University of Kansas.
together. Liza, as she is called by the coaching staff, was recruited by assistant coach Frank Polito. She said she chose Kansas because of her conversations with Polito. Other schools Avdeeva considered were St. Mary's College of California, Northern Arizona University and Jacksonville University (Fla.), among others.
A native of Ohninsk, Russia,
Avdeeva joined the Kansas
women's tennis team last month.
"First couple of weeks were very hard," Avdeeva said. "It's very different, the life, the foods. In Russia, there are no programs with playing and studying together."
Polito said one of his friends traveled to Russia to scout
Avdeeva. The coaches then received a video tape of Avdeeva through a Russian recruiting service. The service informs young Russian athletes about the opportunities of gaining an education in the United States while competing in tennis.
Eventually, a profile of Avdeeva was submitted to Polito.
Avdeeva's older brother, Artum, served as Avdeeva's contact with Polito over the telephone. In the heat of the recruiting process, Avdeeva agreed to come to Kansas.
At first, Avdeeva had reservations. She asked Polito if there were any Russians at the University. Polito told her about Kansas men's basketball freshman Sasha Kaun. Kaun, a reserve center on the team, is originally from Tomsk, Russia. Polito gave Avdeeva Kaun's contact information.
Avdeeva said that Kaun told her all about living in the United States, in Kansas and attending the University. Kaun and Avdeeva still keep in contact.
"Later I called him," Avdevea said. "He told me about KU. He learned three years in Florida. Here [Kansas] he likes more than Florida."
"A good friendship," Avdeeva
said. "It's helped me."
Despite having traveled across the globe to compete for Kansas and earn an education, Avdeeva said she is close with her family and keeps in close touch with them.
Kansas tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt has been beside Avdeeva every step of the way.
"She misses home," Hall-Holt said. "We try to make a
The environment has certainly lived up to its billing. Avdeevsa said her new friends had made the transition smooth for her.
happy environment for her."
"People here are very friendly." Avdeeva said. "If you need help, anyone will help you."
"During school, they [teammates] ask me how are classes." Avdeeva added. "Three weeks ago, when I needed books, people helped me."
Adjusting to the different lifestyle is part of the transition she is making in becoming a student-athlete.
On the hardcourts, Avdeeva received moral support from her teammates.
"Every 15 minutes, I hear, 'Liza, come on,' she said. "It was weird. But now it helps me. I'm not alone. It's team tennis."
So far this season, Avdeeva, is still looking for her first collegiate victory (0-4). She has competed against some of the top talents in the country. But at this point, winning isn't everything.
"I think there was more pressure just coming out, that she wanted to do so well. And its not about who she was playing against," Hall-Holt said. "I think its more about that she wanted to play so hard that she put the pressure on herself."
Avdeeva and Hall-Holt talked about goals at the start of the season.
"It's important to believe in winning," Avdeeva said. "But also believe in yourself."
This week, the tennis team (0-1 Big 12 Conference, 1-4 overall) gears up for a road trip to University Park, Pa. where Kansas will take on Penn State and Yale this weekend.
After only five matches this season, Avdeeva said she was happy to be a Jayhawk.
"I see her making big strides," Hall-Holt said. "She's got an excellent game. I definitely see her making a big impact."
"I can say I like playing here," she said. "I like playing for team."

NHL
Hockey season called off after negotiations hit wall
BY IRA PODELL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - The NHL canceled what little was left of the season yesterday after a series of last-minute offers were rejected on the final day of negotiations.
A lockout over a salary cap shut down the game before it ever got a chance to start in October. Now the NHL, already low on the popularity scale in the United States, becomes the first major pro sports league in North America to lose an entire season to a labor dispute.
"As I stand before you today, it is my sad duty to announce ... it no longer is practical to conduct even an abbreviated season," commissioner Gary Bettman said. "Accordingly, I have no choice but to announce the formal cancellation of play for 2004-05."
Bettman said the sides would continue working to get an agreement.

A few hours later, NHLPA executive director Bob Goodenow stressed that the players had given a lot of
The league and players' union traded a flurry of proposals and letters Tuesday night, but could never agree on a cap. The players proposed $49 million per team; the owners said $42.5 million. But a series of conditions and fine print in both proposals made the offers farther apart than just $6.5 million per team.

awarded since Canadian governor general Lord Stanley first had the idea for a North American champion trophy in 1893; the last was 1919, when a flu epidemic forced the finals to be called off in the then 2-yearold league. There was a lockout in 1994-95 that ended in time for teams to play 48 games, still more than half the regular season.
This will be just the second time the Stanley Cup isn't
Before Monday, the idea of a salary cap was a deal-breaker for the players' association but the union gave in and said it would accept one when the NHL dropped its insistence that

That still wasn't enough to end the lockout that started on Sept. 16 and ultimately wiped out the entire 1,230-game schedule and the playoffs.

For other older players, such as Mario Lemieux, Mark Messier and Dominik Hasek, the cancellation puts their careers in limbo.
"This is a tragedy for the players," Bettman said. "Their careers are short and this is money and opportunity they'll never get back," Bettman said.

RELIGION Q&A
Professor encourages acceptance
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egarcia@hansan.com
KANSAN SCIENCE WRITER
University Daily Kansan staff writer Estuardo Garcia spoke with Akbar Ahmed earlier this week about issues Muslim Americans face in today's society. Ahmed is a professor and author of "Islam Under Siege". Ahmed will meet with students from 10 to 11:30 today at the Hall Center's Conference Hall for a question and answer session. He gave a lecture on Islam Under Siege last night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
If you talk to Muslims they feel they're under siege. If you talk to Americans they feel they're under siege. If you talk to Israelis they feel like they're under siege. And when societies are under siege they tend to be on the defensive.
The title of your lecture and your book is "Istam Under Siege." What does the title mean?
They're not really outgoing, they're not communicating, and

yet this is a time when they need to reach out and need to build bridges.
Ahmed
Do you think that students from Middle Eastern countries studying abroad will help re-establish the
importance of education in the Muslim world?
It is also very important for America because it builds bridges both ways.
It's very important for the Muslim world.
If you don't have that bridge you don't have that link. Not only the Muslim world, but it's also the United States that desperately needs to win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world. And one of the great traditions of America was to attract students from the third world and developing worlds, and that is what America has to do again.

The Bangla language was saved in 1971 when Bangladesh achieved its independence from Pakistan.
Language is a manner of expression, but to the Bangladeshi people, it is a way of life.
The Bangladesh Student Association of KU (BAKU), along with the Bangladesh Association of Greater Kansas City (BSGKC), will bring Bangladesh heritage and tradition to Lawrence on Sunday.
Bangladesh, formerly East Pakistan, preserved the language of Bangla through protests in 1952 after Pakistan attempted to standardize their own Urdu language countrywide, Hossain said.

Scott Clark virtually lives in a warehouse at the intersection of Seventh and New Jersey streets. Monday through Saturday his workday begins at 7:30 a.m., and, on some days, it doesn't end until 9 p.m. But this was the reason Clark came to the University of Kansas.
Clark, a graduate student from Columbia, Mo., is one of 18 architecture students in Studio 804 who, for the next four months, will build an entry-level house for a family in Kansas City, Kan. The group has scheduled an open house visitation for May 21.

The group of architecture students — 10 graduate students and eight fifth-year seniors — started the house's overall design on Jan. 3, but it continues to tweak it as the work progresses.
The group has completed much of the house's framing, flooring and temporary foundation after a week and a half of working. Taylor said.

The students built the frame on Monday and raised it on Tuesday. Before that, it took the students three days to lay the floor beams and a few days to fill in the foundation, he said.

Sub-contractors will install critical elements such as electricity, plumbing, heating and ventilation, but the Studio 804 students had more responsibilities than most professionals. Taylor said. Most professional architects design a building and oversee the construction contractor.
"I think this is unique in the sense we're actually building what we design," Taylor said.

Editor's Notes
My mom has made scrapbooks for me for every year of my life. Actually she has made more because she had three books filled up before I turned 1. She also has separate photo books for my younger sister, which have most of the same photos that are in mine, but this way, my mother defends, we each can have our own. She doesn't do the fancy scrapbooking with the special scissors and stickers, and I can almost guarantee that they're not all on (gasp!) acid-free paper, but they're all organized in chronological order with personalized, funny captions under each photo.
She taught me how to do the same thing in first-grade when I got my first round of friends' school pictures. I kept photo books through high school and my first couple of years of college, when I started with the fancy-pants scrapbooking. Fast-forward to my senior year. I have four cameras - all with photos in them. I have developed photo packets from my film camera thrown haphazardly around my closet, digital photos that are probably on the verge of getting lost into the technological abyss and two disposible cameras that are crushed in my junk drawers.
Photos are precious. They're moments of our life frozen in time, and if we lose them we lose that part of our life. So why do we throw them around, tape them to walls and put push pins through them?

Take your snapshots out of that shoebox in the top of your closet and show them off. Then maybe you can prove you did something in college, even if it was only partying.
Party photos on display By Lynn Hamilton, Jayplay writer
Find your used disposable cameras that are full of old pictures and get them developed. You're sure to find snapshots of people you don't recall at parties you don't remember attending, but you might also find some good ones of great nights and wonderful memories.
Now all you need to know is what to do with them.
Jordan Roberts, Shawnee, Okla., senior, may call herself a "scrapbook dork," but her hobby has paid off. During winter break, Roberts made $300 making two scrapbooks for an organization in her hometown that hosts a summer camp.
Her hobby began in middle school and now she has a scrapbook for each year since. Roberts started this hobby herself and says she definitely didn't catch the scrapbook craze from her mom, who she says is horrible with organizing family pictures. Since high school, Roberts has been putting together family scrapbooks for her mom and getting an outfit in exchange for each. One scrapbook she completed was her own baby book.
"I know it sounds elementary, but for me it is therapeutic to make them, and they are so fun to look at when they are done," Roberts says.
Organization 101
Instead of sticking pictures to your wall with Scotch tape or shoving them into the corner of your mirror, make a scrapbook. It's easy to do and can organize the hundreds of pictures lying under your bed.
Roberts suggests choosing your favorite pictures and sticking them into scrapbooks with acid-free, double-sided tape. She finds her scrapbooks on sale at Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. $23^{\mathrm{d}}$ St. After choosing and sticking her photos in the scrapbook, she doodles or adds little notes around the pictures, telling what happened that night or what she and her friends did or said.
Roberts says, "It's very entertaining to look back at them and laugh at what my friends and I have done in the past few years."
Get Wired
Barbara Van Hoesen, event coordinator at Michael's Arts and Crafts, 3106 Iowa St., makes picture displays using small terra cotta pots and craft wire. She makes hers by inserting foam into the pot and then pushing the wire into the foam until it's secure. Then she coils the top of the wire and sticks the picture between the coils. Van Hoesen says anything that has a place to stick the metal wire such as glass jars with a cork or wood cutouts can also be used.
I made my own with floral wire and a small glass jar that I filled with M&Ms to give it a little color. It only took about 10 minutes and was easy to make. I also added additional stems so that it turned into a kind of picture bouquet.
Downtown Inspirations
If you are overwhelmed with the plethora of ways to get creative with your photos, you have something in common with Lindsey Collier. Collier works at Crafty and Company, 918 Massachusetts St., and says she loves so many ideas but doesn't have the time to try them out. Collier suggests simple ideas like using different cardstocks to showcase your pictures or even using an adhesive runner to stick on embellishments to give your pictures a little pizzazz.
To get a personalized, hand-painted frame, spend an afternoon at Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St. You can choose from stencils, stamps and more than 40 colors of paint to create a frame that is as individual as yourself. Owner Cheryl Roth says after you have finished your design, a clear glaze is applied to the frame and it is fired in a kiln that reaches 1,900 degrees. There are so many different approaches, Roth says, that each frame is unique.
Saving your memories may take a little effort now, but it will be much easier than trying to remember them later.

Chew on this
It's 7 a.m. and you roll out of bed. Stumbling to the bathroom, you find your favorite pair of sneakers shredded on the living room floor. As you slept, Fido took his revenge. Rhonda, assistant at the Animal Hospital of Lawrence, says whether frustrated, teething or just bored, all dogs chew. Many who chew from boredom just need something to keep them busy. Pet store toys are fun, but expensive.
And if your dog is like mine, the toy rarely makes it through the door before
its lying in pieces. To save money, try making your own.
Although the knot-in-a-sock is always popular, you can spice it up. Tightly braid three washed dishtowels and secure the ends with a rope or strip of fabric. Rhonda says to avoid loose strings that can be ingested and always watch your dog while playing. She also suggests taking any toy away from your dog when you're not playing to avoid unwanted injuries.

Rejecting rejection
Ways to understand and deal with rejection By Samara Nazir, Jayplay writer
Ready for a night out, LaTisha Battle, St. Louis, Mo. freshman, and her friends head to a club. While getting down, Battle's eyes meet with a man across the bar. Battle diverts her gaze and continues dancing as the man continues to watch. From afar he doesn't look bad, but as he approaches he flashes a gaping smile with four missing teeth. Not interested, Battle decides to kindly slip her "boyfriend" card. After she slips the words "I have a boyfriend" gently into the conversation three times, both exchanged goodbyes and ended the short-lived encounter.
and enforces the short battle.
Battle makes it a rule to always be kind when she is not interested in someone. But let's face it, rejecting someone is often times easier than being the one rejected.
thinks easier to do.
Dennis Dailey, former professor of Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, says students have to expect that every time they ask somebody out it will not always make for a successful attempt. At some point a person will have to hear the code for rejection: "Just not that interested."
Then why do people in such a situation react so differently?
The major issues involved are autonomy and differentiation, Dailey says. When students lack the ability to be independent and discriminate in certain situations, they are often times highly dependent on others.
For instance, if you approach someone for her number, there is the chance that she may refuse. Some are OK with hearing a no, while others take it to heart and are devastated.
dissaslated.
He adds that often times when someone does turn you down it is less about you and more about them. People with low self-esteem and who are insecure are in need of constant affirmation from others. As a result they will often overreact to experiences that they code as rejecting.
Kris Kennedy, Overland Park junior,
admits that handling rejection poorly may
be the reason he is still single. Kennedy says that a guy has to do all the work during the initial steps of dating so he has to deal with rejection more. But if he does get rejected Kennedy tries not to take it to heart.
heart.
He says his attitude is that, "53 percent of the students on this campus are female, so there's someone for everyone. You just have to find them...right?"
For Sean Ferrell, 21-year-old Overland Park resident, a painful breakup makes rejection harder to cope with. His relationship with Nadia, a foreign exchange student from Denmark, ended on their 10-month anniversary when he walked in on her and caught her cheating on him with another man. The feeling of rejection not only hurt his confidence and self-esteem but also his relationship with other women.
"If someone refused when I asked for her number, I would brush it off," Ferrell says. "But at the end of the night, it would still get to me."
"A Boyfriend"
The Game of Love:
Playing the "Boyfriend"
But no reason to fear, hope and advice can trump the boyfriend card any day. John Wade, licensed psychologist at KU Counseling and Psychological Services, provides optimistic ways to deal with the issue.
get to me.
When Ferrell happens to get a not-interested reply, he starts to lose hope in all situations, and it never fails to bring back the painful remembrance of his relationship with Nadia.
That feeling is why Melissa Martinez, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, steers clear of situations leading to rejection. The fear of rejection is why she seldom asks a guy for his number. She knows she would turn red from embarrassment if ever rejected. She would try to play it off but would still feel crushed.
Instead of viewing the situation as someone rejecting you, feel good about taking a chance with someone and stepping out.
side your comfort zone. Take a chance because you're not going to find someone if you just sit in your room. Wade also suggests expecting no as a possibility when approaching someone so you are mentally prepared to handle any response.
prepare if you're feeling down from someone not returning your affection or from a breakup. Wade recommends turning to friends for support instead of isolating yourself. Keep into perspective that pain is short-lived so eventually things will feel better. He further suggests not taking the situation too personally. Analyze the situation, but keep in mind your good qualities and what others like about you.

How we met
Steve Hood & Briana Barron
Photo by Erin Shipps
Steve Hood, Topeka senior, saw Bria娜 Barron, Lawrence senior, the moment he entered The Music Exchange in Westport, Mo. The large dusty store was filled with records, but Hood had one thing on his mind: the small, cute girl with red hair and no freckles. Barron noticed him too, but as "one of those cute Westport boys who were kind of off limits." Hood approached her after 45 minutes of contemplation saying, "I've been trying to think of something to say to you since I got here, but I couldn't ... so, my name's Steve." With that she shook his hand and he scored her number. Two years later they're still excited just to be around each other.

Let's face it: The best part of waking up does not include Folgers coffee in your cup
Whether you're trying to get through a 10-page sociology paper, read 100 pages for bio or just need a little warming up on a cold day, don't do it with coffee from a can. It's kind of like drinking vodka from a plastic bottle — it's cheap and it tastes horrible. Instead, opt for some local coffee shop brews and get it fresh.
Ken Davids, editor of The Coffee Review online, says, "The green color of the coffee bean, the way in which it is roasted and how it is brewed all contribute to the quality and character of the final experience of the coffee."
Just ask Ashley Somerhalder, barista at Milton's Coffee and Wine, 920 Massachusetts St. She says the reason Milton's coffee tastes so smooth is the bean they use, Thanksgiving roast. Thanksgiving beans were rated No. 2 in The Coffee Review
online 2004's 12 best coffee beans and are Milton's most popular order. Buy a cup to go for $1 or hang out at your table and enjoy a bottomless mug for only$ 1.50. It's inexpensive and delicious. Now that's more like it.
But Milton's is just one of many Lawrence coffee shops that serves fresh tasting coffee. Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., makes coffee from PT's Coffee Company beans out of Topeka. PT's is a Kansas micro-roaster, meaning they roast their coffee beans in small batches. That, in turn, creates a smooth, full-bodied coffee taste.
So just remember, if you need a cup of coffee to make it through your 9:30 a.m. class; keep it fresh, find it local and stay away from the can.

Five questions
One KU"famous," one KU not (yet) famous
James Gunn, professor emeritus of English and science fiction writer
Kate Naramore, Lawrence freshman
Q: What was your most memorable Valentine's Day, good or bad?
Gunn: My wife and I got married on Feb. 6, 1947, so Valentine's Day a week later was pretty special.
Narmore: Seventh grade at the lunch tables. Everyone was throwing around those little candy hearts. It got pretty vicious.
Q: Who is your favorite cartoon character?
Gunn: The Road Runner. Like many of us he pursues an objective past the point of reason and gets clobbered for it but bounces back up to try again.
Naramore: Stewie from "Family Guy."
Q: What's your opinion on reality TV?
Gunn: I don't watch any reality shows. They're not real enough. Fiction is the reality that makes sense out of the chaos we call life. Naramore: It's the most pure and refined piece of art available to peo ple today.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Gunn: Why not? The road is a metaphor for life itself and refusing to cross it is a metaphor for never taking a chance on life.
Naramore: To prove to the armadillo that it could be done.
Q: Where would you take your dream vacation?
Gunn: Paris, maybe. I've traveled for the U.S. Information Agency east and west, but I've never been to Paris. San Francisco might be a second choice; I've been there several times and enjoyed its cuisine and ambience – maybe because it's the Paris of the U.S.
Naramore: Over there.

Q
Not getting your daily dose of sex?
I have a new roommate this semester, and he smells like tuna fish. Seriously. Should I tell him to shower more often or should I discretely leave some deodorant in his medicine cabinet? It's getting to the point where I can't have people over.
a
Jason, sophomore
Jessi: What? You don't like tuna? Are you close with the guy? If so, I'd throw a jacular comment out there like "Dude, you reek of Chicken of the Sea... wash yourself!" Or if you don't know him that well, I'd wait for some special occasion to give him a "gift" of deodorant. (I recommend any of the Axe body sprays or new Old Spice stuff... mmm.) It's just your luck that February 17 is Random Acts of Kindness Day. Oh boy!
Chris: Wow. Jason, thanks for the set up. But instead of trying to pick one tuna smell joke, I figured you could use some real advice. You googled "tuna smell" and according to www.healthboards.com, your roommates stench could be caused by the breakdown of proteins in semen left inside after he cums. Yikes. The smell may be more likely with an uncircumcised penis and could also be caused by an infection. My advice -- find a new roommate.
Q
a
My boyfriend recently became obsessed with lifting weights and looking good. Now, he's more high maintenance than me. His new hobby is making me feel unimportant in his life. What do I do?
Maggie, junior
Maggie, junior
Chris: That's a pretty terrible hobby. In addition to suggesting new hobbies, tell him how you feel and let him decide if he wants to change. If he doesn't, drop his ass.
Jessi: You can either try reconciling with him by accompanying him to the gym in order to pay his hobby a genuine interest or kick this real American CHEESEcake to the curb. A big part of a healthy relationship is respecting and embracing each others' differences. If after visiting the gym with your "stud" and communicating your concern, he still fails to reciprocate, you know what to do.
Q
This semester a girl told me that my penis was too big and that she wouldn't have sex with me. I was wondering that if you guys would think it would be a good idea to get my penis downsized so that I won't have this problem anymore?
a
-Drew, junior
If I told you to get your dick cut down to size, that'd be like telling a woman to get breast implants. Stick with what you've been blessed with, be it a large penis or a small one. As for her not wanting to have sex with you, vaginas are very elastic and can withstand varying girths. How do you think we have babies? Ultimately though, that's her problem. Find a woman who is willing to love you for your entire package... and its package.
Chris: I hear you man. I get that all the time! I try not to worry about it too much. But you should probably just go into porn or something. And definitely drop out of school.
Fruit of the vine
An amateur’s guide to wine
By Megan Claus, Jayplaywriter
If it's cheap wine you're looking for, you won't find it in the front of the wine store.
Back in the lonely corner where the lights flicker and cobwebs begin to take over, you'll usually find shelves of overstocked, over-produced wines such as The Little Penguin, Yellowtail, Woodbridge and the boxed sensations such as Franzia. Ranging anywhere from $2 to$ 10 a pop, these wines are inexpensive because the producer buys the grapes in bulk or grape juice at a low cost and is able to bottle it cheaply.
It isn't to say that these wines are unacceptable, but if you know a thing or two about wine, they're just unnecessary.
People tend to choose wine off the label or name. It seems as though students display a fear factor in buying wine because they don't know how it will taste, Courtney Smith, Topeka senior and
employee at Cork a Barrel, 901 Mississippi says.
"It's a no-brainer to spend $3.50 on a beer than$ 7 on a glass (of wine). You can have two beers for that glass you don't even like," Michelle Meyer, owner of the Holy-Field winery and vineyard, says.
From what Smith observes, girls tend to purchase white, fruity wines. Of 12 girls I surveyed, nine indicated that white "fruity" or "sweet" is their favorite kind. One didn't specify a favorite, and the other two say Yellowtail Cabernet Sauvignon tops their list because it's "cheap and tasty." All of the four guys surveyed were more likely to favor red wines, such as Merlot, because of the fuller taste. All the students were apprehensive about wine because they thought that it was expensive. This explains why nearly everyone said an inexpensive wine was their favorite.
The truth is good wine doesn't have to be expensive. And inexpensive wine doesn't have to be purchased from the cheap seats. If you know a little about wine production, different kinds of wines and wine tasting, you'll be able to walk proudly into a wine store and straight into the luminescent aisles billowing with fine, inexpensive wines.
Visiting a vineyard can give you an agricultural point of view that you can't get anywhere else. "It gives people a whole new perspective and apprecia-
Wine genesis
tion," Meyer says.
Equipped with seven wineries, this isn't a tough thing to do in Kansas.
In 1986 Meyer and her father Les planted a vineyard in Basehor, which is about 20 miles east of Lawrence on Highway 24-40. They started small enough to make wine just for themselves. Eventually they grew more grapes than they could legally grow without a farm winery license. By 1994, Holy-Field winery was in business.
The grape harvest season lasts about six weeks, from the middle of August until mid-September. Volunteers add their names to a waiting list up to a year in advance for the Meyers' "picking Sundays." On a brisk Sunday morning in September, I joined 112 other volunteers to prune grapes with the Meyers. From 8 a.m. until noon, we cut fruit from some of their 14 acres and 10,000 vines of grapes.
We loaded plastic bin after bin with fresh grapes and sent them down to the pressing room in the basement of the winery. Here the grapes were lightly crushed and removed of all seeds, skins and stalks. I tasted the fresh juice from this process and remember it tasting like it was straight from a juice machine. The high Brix level—the unit of measure of sugar —of this grape meant that when fermented, it would produce a higher amount of alcohol. In a stainless-steel cask, yeast was added to the remaining
liquid to convert the sugars to alcohol and juice to wine. It was bottled immediately after.
Grape varieties
Wines are named after the grapes that produce them. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah/Shiraz and Zinfandel are main red wines-made from these grapes. Common white wines are made from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling grapes.
When customers come in asking for a red wine, Andrew Graves, employee at Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St., usually directs them to the Cabernet Sauvignons. The way he explains, this grape makes it seem like the Mac Daddy of red wines. That's because Cabernets are grown nearly all over the world and have a surprisingly consistent taste with almost every region. These wines are rich in color, aroma and depth.
Merlot is another top grape variety. Merlots are usually smooth, soft and easy-drinking wines as well as a favorite among wine lovers. These wines are widely available and can be found for quite reasonable prices.
Australia produces some of the best Shiraz (called Syrah everywhere else) because the grape grows in just about every region of the continent, giving us many options to choose from. This wine is best with food. The grape makes dark,
full-bodied red wine, softer than Cabernet Sauvignon but stronger than Merlot. Not surprisingly, Graves says he sells Yellowtail Shiraz like water.
"I don't spend a lot on wine because you can get some really great wines without spending even $10. I have found that it's definitely not the price that indicates how good the wine is."
Zinfandels can reach extremely high Brix levels, producing upward of 16 percent natural alcohol. They have a spicy, blackberry flavor. These grapes are often made into White Zinfandel, a less common Zinfandel wine.
Sarah Spence, St. Louis senior and self-proclaimed wine fanatic
Another red wine grape is Pinot Noir, which often produces a light-red, rich, full-bodied wine. Although common, you will find a limited selection of good inexpensive Pinot Noir, because it is one of the toughest grape crops to master. Pinot Noirs have a soft, velvety texture and are often described as liquid silk.
You've probably heard of Chianti, the spaghetti sidekick. It's a bold red wine, often paired with pasta dishes soaked in yummy well-seasoned sauces. It originated in the Chianti region of Tuscany and can easily be described as Italy's most famous wine. It's often served in a squaty bottle, cradled in a straw basket. While there are several Chianti producers all over the world, look for a bottle labeled with a black rooster. This is Chianti Classico, the sole indicator that it was made in the Chianti region.
The grape is one of the hardest agricultural crops to grow because of its sensitivity to the elements and disease. The
Chardonnay grape is one of the easiest to cultivate because it is disease-resistant. It grows just about everywhere around the world because it thrives in all types of climates. Its range of flavor is perhaps the best feature of this grape. It can be very refreshing and crisp to rich and sweet.
Sauvignon Blanc grapes make dry, fresh and intense white wines with lasting aromas. The wine's slightly green hue has given it the well-deserved description of looking like cat pee. Its taste differs among climates. For tart Sauvignon Blanc, look for wines from colder climates such as France. For richer and riper Sauvignon Blanc, warmer regions such as California make the best.
The Riesling grape is most known for its acidity and producing sweet wine. It can, however, produce bone-dry wine. The most common Riesling is produced
in Germany. It survives in some of the coldest climates. Riesling wine pairs well with seafood and is scrumptious alone as a dessert.
Pinot Grigio is another common white wine. It is a light-bodied, crisp and acidic white side-kick to the Pinot Noir grape. And like Pinot Noir, Graves says, "Why would you buy this cheap?" But do not fear, inexpensive versions of this fine grape wine do exist for your yearning pallet.
Taste and See
The best way to know wine is to taste it. In Kansas, the best way to do this is to go to a winery or to a wine tasting event.
Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., hosts "Wine Night" every third Thursday of the month. You can sample five wines and get a full glass of your favorite for $10. This is a fairly good deal because they do feature higher quality wines other than house wines.
Bo Donora, Baldwin City senior, has participated in Wine Night at Quinton's. Although he cannot recall the wine he tasted, he says he remembers experiencing a "fun, energetic drunk" that night. He says it was that his first experience in wine tasting that that it would easily entice a normally non-wine drinker into becoming one. Like a majority of student wine drinkers, Donora is a Yellowtail fan.

The moral of this lesson is to do your research. Get some friends together for a wine tasting party, or have your own private celebration. You can never become too wise or over-experienced in the world of wine.
You can also find other fun experiences in wine tasting at restaurants. Sarah Spence, St. Louis senior, is a wine fanatic. She started drinking wine at a wine and cheese restaurant in St. Louis. She says it was there that she learned to appreciate the flavor of wine and the differences between varieties.
Have faith in your local wine stores. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The people who work there may not be experts, but they sure know a lot about wine. When visiting The Wine Cellar, 2100 A.W. 25th St., the clerk told me about how they had all visited Holy-Field during the weekend for a tour and educational session on wine. Smith had only been working at Cork and Barrel for a few months, but the things she told me about wine led me to believe she had been there for years.
"I don't spend a lot on wine because you can get some really great wines without spending even $10. I have found that it's definitely not the price that indicates how good the wine is," Spence says.

Out of the ordinary Lawrence nightlife away from the crowds By Mandy Hendrix, Jayplay writer
It's the last semester of my senior year and honestly I'm becoming a little bored with the typical student bars. I've had some great nights at these places throughout my college days, but I'm starting to yearn for a change of scenery. Thinking that you might feel the same way, I decided to visit some of the most interesting bars away from campus and Massachusetts St.
Gaslight Tavern, 401 N. Second St.
Cross Town Tavern,
1910 Haskell Ave.
The red walls and red lights radiating within this itty-bitty bar make it seem as if you're inside a womb. The tiny house-like facade seems uninviting from the outside, but the friendly staff and community atmosphere make up for appearance. Candles burn throughout the bar, making the venue even more mellow. "It kind of feels like a secret club," says Kyle Akers, Prairie Village senior. "It's small and intimate and really warm to be there." The Gaslight is also great if you're not in a mood for drinking. I sipped on one of the best vanilla lattes I've had in awhile. Sitting at the nearly deserted bar were two laid-back guys, drinking pints of Guinness. This place is definitely worth checking out with a small group.
Out of the way of most students' usual hangouts, the Cross Town Tavern offers cheap drinks in a no-frills setting. This bar offers little more than what you see. Pool tables and oak wood paneling give a sports bar feel to one end of the large room. The other half suggests dancing with a wall of mirrors and a lone disco ball hanging form the ceiling. This place may have been groovier in the '70s, but Cross Town still hasn't lost its soul. Al Green quietly plays throughout the room over the bickering of the pool players and the friendly conversations of the drunks. The crowd here is a bit rougher than typical student hangouts, but you wanted to
check out something different, right?
Many of the clientele don't appear to be students, but rather down-home, blue-collar workers. "There is no pretense," says Craig Bundy, Kansas City, Mo. resident. "You can get as wasted as you want and no one is going to say anything because they're all there too." The best thing about Cross Town is the drink specials. If anything go just to check out the $1.50 draws on Wednesday and$ 2 margaritas on Friday.
Charlie's Eastside Bar and Grill,
900 Pennsylvania St.
If I could describe a bar as pleasant it would be Charlie's. The wooden beams and limestone rocks remind me of a winter lodge. In the warmer months the large porch on the front of the building is great for people watching. Crammed inside the small upstairs are two large tables and the bar-and-grill area. The downstairs has a pool table, but the room is bleak and lacks personality. The atmosphere seemed relaxed and welcoming, but that could have been because my friend and I were the only two people there. The bartender told me that Charlie's used to be a hot spot for the younger crowd, but these days the student base has dropped off. Oh well. I was able to get a big beer for $2 and chat with the bartender about basketball.
Going around town made me realize that Lawrence has so much more to offer than "Mass Street." Sometimes it's intimidating, but wandering away from the usual hotspots can be rewarding.
What's so different about these bars? They feel like part of something. They don't have a manufactured feeling to them. These are the types of bars that give Lawrence its laid-back, relaxed nature. "You run into more interesting characters than at normal bars" Bundy says.

You know that feeling. You're in the club, getting your dance on. The place is crowded, everyone's hot and sweaty. No matter what season it is, when you're in the club it feels like the middle of summer. There's no better way to quench
your thirst than with a Cherry Limeade. It's the perfect combination of sweet and sour to give you that citrus refreshment made so popular by those long, hot summer days. If you're looking for the best of the best, go to Johnny's Tavern and ask Blair to make it for you. It's his special recipe.

From the blackwater region of North Florida comes Mofro, a band including two Southern-bred musicians who stir up a lively mix of soul, funk, blues and zydeco music that gets to the heart of simple bayou living and Southern blue-collar culture. J.J. Grey and Daryl Hance grew up and still reside in the small town of Lochloosa, Fla., a rural suburb of Jacksonville. Both were friends before they formed Mofro seven years ago.
Jayplay writer Chris Brown chats with guitarist, harmonica player and
Mofro
keyboardist J.J. Grey about the story behind the band name, alligator encounters and southern cooking.
You describe your music as "front porch soul." Can you tell me what this means exactly? Actually, our producer called it that. It's sort of got soul elements and country elements and it refers to music from the backwoods where we're from.
I worked in a lumber yard for 10 years. It was just a word for pretty much everything, like "What's up Mofro?" and "See that Mofro?" It's grounded in Southern talk and it just sounded cool.
I'm sure you get this a lot, but what's the story behind the name?
What are your influences?
Vocally, Otis Redding, Toots [Thielman, of Toots and the Maytals], Bill Withers and Stevie Wonder. Then, you know like, all the big bands like AC/DC, Skynrd and the Allman Brothers.
Can you tell me a little about your upbringing on a farm in North Florida and how that's influenced your music?
My grandparents had a chicken farm. I
don't know if it's at a conscious level, but it's music that's connected to a place, a culture, a region. Growing up as a kid you get subjected to different things, you try different things. It was just that bluesy, Southern-baked music was the easiest to play. It's kind of like if you grew up in Jamaica, reggae or island music is easiest to play. I believe music is played best when it comes straight out of the dirt you've lived on.
Best meat you can get in the Deep South: turtle or alligator?
Turtle. I'm pretty leary about eating turtle, but it's super rich. Gator meat's cool but it ain't as good as turtle.
What are your goals for the band in 2005?
Try to get another record recorded. Other than that, just plugging away and we're thankful that we can do it. Things just materialize out of nowhere sometimes, so you never know.
Mofro is officially just you and guitarist and buddy Daryl Hance. Do you have any plans to incorporate any other full-time members of the band in the future?
No, it's sort of like Hall and Oates I guess. [Grey laughs.] The other guys playing with us were stoked about it and they're part of Mofro. It's hard to put people in situations musically that they're not used to because they haven't grown up with the music we play or they can't relate to the experiences.
So you go with Southern musicians when you have other people play in the band?
Generally, yeah. George is from Memphis; Adam is from Ohio. We go for regional musicians and that really seems to work with our music.
I see that there's a "cookin'" page on your Web site where different recipes are listed. Do you like to cook? Oh yeah.
What's your favorite meal to cook? Bowl of shrimp, cheese grits and baked beans. When I say shrimp I mean like the big 18-count-to-a-pound sweet-sugary river shrimp or gulf shrimp.
You came to the Wakarusa Music Festival last year. How did this festival stack up to the festivals you played at last year?
It was great. It's not an easy thing to do to put on a festival and I think they nailed it for this festival, especially in its first year.
Ever had a run-in with an alligator? I've seen one gator up close at the boat ramp in Lochlooas but other than that, not really. My buddy had a gator license — you know, to hunt gators — and we took Dave of the Greyhounds with us. We caught a six to seven-footer but we didn't kill it.
Any funny road stories?
Usually road stories are tragedies, like yesterday we woke up and all the car batteries were dead. They do exist but I have to think about it. If I had another 12 hours to think about this one I'm sure I could up with like 50 but I just can't think of any right now.

The Notebook
(✩✩✩)
PG-13, 121 minutes,DVD rental
The Notebook is a riveting tale of youthful ambition, enduring devotion and triumphant love. Director Nick Cassavetes invites the audience on a journey back to a simpler time where he paints a vivid picture filled with conflict and extraordinary passion. The Notebook is a splendid film with notable performances by Hollywood novices and well-known veterans. With scenes that could bring a grown man to his knees, The Notebook is the perfect movie rental for Saturday night.
Young Noah (Ryan Gosling) appreciates the simple things in life. He lives modestly but dreams big. Noah's world is changed forever when a stunning and extremely wealthy young woman visits for the summer season, stealing his heart. Allie (Rachel McAdams) is a vivacious young socialite whose hunger for life and desire for adventure attracts the attention of the rebellious Noah. It's love
at first sight. Unfortunately, Allie's parents disapprove of the relationship and forbid her to see her true love.
The special features on The Notebook DVD include deleted and extended scenes that detail the movie's plot. The scenes, interesting to watch, prove unnecessary—the editors of the movie seem to have done a fine job in the cutting room though. The Notebook is a beautiful heart-aching tale of love and loss. It is an all-around great movie.

Boogeyman (✩✩)
PG-13, 86 minutes, Southwinds 12
A boy witnesses the death of his father by an unknown phantom in his closet, and now 15 years later returns to the house where it happened. What should be the creepy tale of the famed Boogeyman, is just another stylish Hollywood horror.
The idea isn't bad, but when a film is more about how it looks than telling a story, it falls flat. The first half the movie feels as though we are following the character around with some interesting shots
and effects, which eventually gets a bit boring. Some sequences look like a music video, and it seems that the filmmakers think the way to scare an audience is just to have a loud noise and some quick editing. This becomes predictable; you know when you're about to jump. In all fairness, there are some scary bits, reminiscent of Village of The Damned, which reminds you that little children can be very scary. The ending is more interesting than the rest, but perhaps that's because something is actually happening.
The relatively unknown cast doesn't do a bad job, especially with the material they're working with. Some of it is just confusing while trying to be clever, and if there had been less talking and more observing and hinting, it would have kept the audience more on edge. Also, the film could have been condensed by almost a third.
A disappointing horror that doesn't live up to the 'true' Boogeyman idea. Go and see Hide and Seek instead.

Hitch (★★★)
PG-13, 115 minutes, South Wind 12
Hitch is a fantastic romantic comedy that appeals to a wide range of movie goers. This delightful film was released just in time for Valentine's Day, setting the mood for sweethearts everywhere. Unlike most movies of this genre, Hitch is undoubtedly a success.
Alex Hitchens (Will Smith), better known as the infamous Hitch, is fondly referred to as "the love doctor" by his long list of love-challenged clients. Hitch is somewhat of a Casanova with the ladies, and a savior among admiring men. A self-proclaimed "love consultant," Hitch quietly advises and orchestrates relationships for men who would otherwise fail miserably in the dating department. Although he is tremendously successful in solving his clients' difficulties with the opposite sex, Hitch
himself seems to deal with fear of commitment.
Albert (Kevin James) is an enthusiastic accountant who is head over heels in love with one of New York City's most eligible bachelorettes. He is also Hitch's special project. Hitch and Albert are quite the dynamic duo with their comedic timing and unforeseen chemistry. However, it is Albert that steals the show with his laugh-out-loud dance moves and clumsy antics. His cuddly appearance and quirky humor reels in viewers. He is hysterical and a fabulous addition to an impressive cast.
Sara (Eva Mendes) is a top gossip columnist and the object of Hitch's affection. Much like the doctor, Sara is apprehensive to let love play a key role in her life. She reluctantly falls in love with the suave and unquestionably charming Hitch. Conflict occurs when Sara discovers Hitch's profession.
Hitch rarely has a dull moment and surprises the audience with clever dialogue
and delightful music. The combination of Will Smith's classic humor and Kevin James's stand-out performance makes Hitch a hit. It's just what the doctor ordered!

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy/ Matt Sweeney Superwolf
Drag City
As the insert indicates, these fellows are all about educating the youth on the isolating tendencies of hashish and thusly promoting the healthy consumption of alcohol for the betterment of society. Annoying rhetoric aside, Bonnie
MATT SWEENLY GONNE PRINCE BALY
SUPERWOLF
at times, Sweeney and Oldham find ways to take advantage of each other's quirks to spark a warm, folklore-toned dialogue about hanging on to what they have
"Prince" Billy (aka Will Oldham) and Matt Sweeney (Zwan, Guided By Voices) come together for the first time on Super-wolf, with Sweeny handling the guitars and other instrumentation as the Prince mounts his rough-edged voice up against our ears. In true Oldham fashion, the production is extra lo-fi, drawing us close enough to feel their bellies shake as they belt out an intimate message that wanders comfortably through a variety of mood swings.
Though they stumble over one another
found in the friendship of song. There is a particular void that begins to unravel as the record progresses, feeling deliberately sparse and somewhat unfinished. At the same time though, there is a cameraderie that forms between these two artists that is bizarre enough to hold things
together and even inspire some binge drinking. There is a certain amount of flexibility that must be granted to any of Oldham's records, and this new experiment may take more than any of his previous projects.

El Pus
Hoodlum Rock (Vol.1:
The Bogard)
Atlanta has been the home to hip-hop legends such as Jermaine Dupri, Ludacris and Usher. But it was not until recently that a hip-hop inspired quintet by the name of El Pus (pronounced "el poose") broke rank to produce a rock album.
EL PJS
MIDDLE WAY ARCHIVE 2
ALPINE REMIXES
PARENTS ALERT
ALPINE REMIXES
El Pus is not your Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit, or whatever bands you may have conjured from the description of their style; they have talent. Their lyrics are well thought out and written with a driving force behind them. The first single, "Suburb Thuggin'," is a somewhat humorous look at the suburban youth and the way they may dress and act. And with lyrics such as, "You ain't really never seen no gangster shit cause if you did you'd be pissin' yourself," their outlook on much of suburbia becomes quite
apparent. This track also stands apart more than any others because the music and vocal style on it is all rock, not an
accurate representation of the entire album but a great track none the less.
The album has no set style being either hip-hop or rock nor is it an even divide. The songs vary from track to track and even within a single track the listener will experience a guitar riff quickly followed by the delivery of hip-hop lyrics.
Their delivery though is not rough like one associates with rap, they have a style that is more reflective of The Roots.
The album is a refreshing take on hip-hop and rock, which on many occasions the strength of one is often the weakness of the other. With good hip-hop style lyrics and unique rock music El Pus offers a new take on both styles of music which should be welcomed with open arms.

Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake,It's Morning
Since 2002's magnum opus LIFTED or The
The Story is in the Soil, Bright Eyes front-man Conor Oberst has been somewhat of a media darling, labeled (perhaps prematurely) as "Indie-rock's boy genius" and "Voice of his generation." With the release of two new Bright Eyes full-lengths last month, whatever questions linger around those
loaded and messianic labels should be answered, for better or worse.
Of the two albums, the acoustic, country-tinged I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning more closely resembles Bright Eyes' traditional sound, far removed from the electronic, beat-driven "experimentation" of its counterpart, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. Unlike the folk opera LIFTED however, I'm Wide Awake eschews the gaudy strings and run-on mini-dramas that made that album a 73-minute mountain; in their place are tightly constructed country-pop one-offs. To augment the album's Americana zeal, Oberst enlisted numerous A-list guests: pedal steel wizard, producer and frequent Bright Eyes collaborator Mike Mogis, as well as Norah Jones' songwriter Jesse Harris, appear instrumentally. My Morning
Jacket's Jim James and country legend Emmylou Harris add vocal support to a number of tracks.
The album's strongest tracks are a pair of unruly exercises; Mogis' pedal steel threatens to spin out of orbit on "Another
Travelin' Song" as Emmy- lou yelps near the exit like a cat in heat. The album's finale, "Road to Joy," is also its best: a socially aware, politically incensed re-working of Beethoven's Ninth (though Ludwig probably never sang "Let's fuck it up boys/Make some noise!" as passionately as Oberst.)
The album stumbles briefly on the desultorily over-indulgent tracks "Lua" (briefly Billboard's #1 single) and "Landlocked Blues," a track that was perfect in 2003 when Oberst released it as "One Foot in Front of the Other." Minor impropriety aside, I'm Wide Awake It's Morning is Bright Eyes' strongest release to date, and one that does nothing to disparage Oberst's title of "Indie-rock man of the hour."

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 PS2
Tom Clancy has made a name for himself when it comes to secret military operations from the many books he's written and from the games he lends his name to. Don't let his big name fool you because it just might be that you waste your well-earned money on a sub-par game. Ghost Recon 2 puts you in the shoes of one of America's finest. The problem, however, is that the shoes are just a little bit too tight.
The lack of options you're given as a player is the main problem. When you head a squad of teammates you only have five commands to control them. Commands can't be given to specific members, except in the case of the "take point"
command where the closest teammate is selected. And for some reason squad members are blessed with such incredibly bad aim youd think they didn't pass rifle training. Enemies, on the other hand, can shoot with great accuracy even when it's pitch dark though they don't have night vision/infrared equipment. Missions are not very interesting at all; mostly it only offers escort and search and destroy, leading to very repetitive play.
Overall the game was just not very fun. If you want to play a military shooter, check out the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEAL's line of games from Zipper Interactive, also for the PS2.
Grade: Csimply some of the most graphic sequences ever put in a game. Occasionally, cuts to black and white censor the carnage, but overall, the torture bits will leave gamers picking their jaws off the floor.

The Punisher X-Box,PS2,PC
Playing The Punisher is a lot like watching Saturday night Cinemax porn. There are always long boring stretches of story development and then every 10 minutes or so you get a sex scene. In this case the long, lame sections happen to be the gameplay, and the sex is the game's over-the-top interrogation sequences. But wow, are they hot.
The game, based on the Marvel comic series, gives players control of Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, a man whose entire family was murdered by gangsters. Now Castle takes to the streets to battle crime vigilante style. However, Punisher's brand of law enforcement typically involves smashing heads with windows, severing noses with buzz saws and feeding people's faces to piranhas.
Calling the game's interrogation bits violent is like calling rice white. These are
While not completely terrible, the game's action is simply uninspired and unoriginal. The controls are occasionally awkward, the artificial intelligence is terrible, and the levels tend to be short and repetitive. The game uses a "slaughter mode," which slows time and gives The Punisher a barrage of knife moves, but this turns out to be more novel than it is useful.
Aside from the over-the-top interrogation sequences, The Punisher really fails to set itself apart from the pack. Like those late night Skinemax flicks, it's amusing for a few hours, but you'll probably forget it by the end of the weekend.

PORTE DI VISTA
My 20 $^{th}$ birthday was a disaster. My friends tried to combine two birthdays into one
night. The jumbled mess ended in a ruined dinner and hateful bickering among friends. I decided to take the fate of my $21 ^{st}$ birthday planning into my own hands.
As a Muslim, I don't drink. Still feeling the need to consume shots, I developed this genius idea of coffee-shop hopping in an effort to intoxicate myself with 21 shots of espresso.
I started the day taking the Law School Admissions Test, or LSAT, at 8 a.m. I musted up my 21 years of knowledge and used every last bit of it on the three-and-a-half-hour test. To help flush all dreams of law school down the toilet, I decided to drown my sorrows in a Starbucks Double Shot Espresso about 1:30 p.m. to get an early start on those 21 shots. Drinking the contents of yet another Double Shot Espresso can, I left Starbucks with two Frappuccino mocha bottles in hand.
After a quick shower, I attempted to take a nap, which consisted of me aimlessly
staring at the wall unable to keep my eyes closed for longer than 10 seconds. At 5 p.m., it was time to prepare for the party. I strapped on my Scottish kilt belt and downed one of the Frappuccino bottles before leaving for dinner at 7:30 p.m. Shortly after, I chugged the second bottle at Papa Keno's, caving in to the peer pressure of the wild birthday clan surrounding me. The 20 of us then gathered together all the loose tables at Papa Keno's, taking up half of the pizzeria. Full from the Frappuccinos, I was unable to eat my pizza. So instead, I decided to throw bits of it at my unsuspecting friends — I was already beginning to feel the effects of the coffee.
I became restless at Papa Keno's and was no longer able to sit still in my chair for longer than 30 seconds. We decided to walk next door to Aimee's Coffee House for a freshly prepared espresso shot. I took the cup and saucer and gulped down its contents. The disgustingly bitter shot surged through my body within seconds and caused a convulsive shake. The jittery feeling found an escape through my fingertips, that put even Kirsten Dunst's spirit
fingers to shame.
Words began to pour out of my mouth at a rapid speed. No longer were my friends able to understand me. The coffee heightened my hearing, which caused secret whispers from across the room to tunnel into my ears.
With my new super powers at use, I threw on a tiara and proudly strutted my stuff down Massachusetts St. While eating an espresso-filled chocolate truffle, I even found the confidence to run across a street filled with'oncoming cars in my red stiletto boots. The night was panning out beautifully.
We managed to cram 20 people into six coffee shops. After my enticing performance of drinking two espresso shots within seconds of each other at Java Break, I ended the night with a grand finale in the bathroom of Borders. The smell of coffee made my vulnerable state worse as I found my way from the café to the bathroom. Paralyzed by the queasy feeling engulfing my stomach, I remained kneeling in front of the toilet for 15 minutes. I managed to keep down the 16 espresso
shots that I had taken, but decided to end my relationship with the espresso bean.
My friends drove my nauseated, yet very loud self back to my apartment where my siblings met up with us for some strawberry mousse cake. Taking a seat next to the cake on the kitchen table, I violently tore into it with the largest knife we owned and inhaled a massive corner piece. Then I took it upon myself to entertain my guests with various mime acts.
Nearing the last few minutes of my birthday, I sung my birthday song with a loud, obnoxious voice and conducted a game of "Simon says" to ensure that I had everyone's undivided attention on my big day.
I fell asleep on the couch at 4 a.m. once the caffeine had worn off. When I woke up five hours later, I recalled the lessons learned from the previous night: Always plug your nose before taking a shot, keep a chaser at hand and if you can drink, stay away from the espresso. Yes, the birthday surely was an unforgettable one, but coming in for a close second was the massive hangover I had the next morning.

russian tennis player finds home at Kansas
Freshman balances new settings
BARRUCK

jeff jacobson/KANSAS ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Elizaveta Avdeeva, Obninsk, Russia, freshman, lunges for the ball during a match against Texas in Overland Park Sunday. Avdeeva came to Kansas from Russia in hopes of pursuing both an education and her love for tennis.
Freshman tennis player, Elizaveta Avdeeva is in her first semester in the United States and her first semester of college at the University of Kansas.
A native of Obninsk, Russia,
Avdeeva joined the Kansas
women's tennis team last month.
"First couple of weeks were very hard," Avdeeva said. "It's very different, the life, the foods. In Russia, there are no programs with playing and studying together."
Liza, as she is called by the coaching staff, was recruited by assistant coach Frank Polito. She said she chose Kansas because of her conversations with Polito. Other schools Avdeeva considered were St. Mary's College of California, Northern Arizona University and Jacksonville University (Fla.), among others.
Polito said one of his friends traveled to Russia to scout
Avdeeva. The coaches then received a video tape of Avdeeva through a Russian recruiting service. The service informs young Russian athletes about the opportunities of gaining an education in the United States while competing in tennis.
Eventually, a profile of Avdeeva was submitted to Polito.
Avdeeva's older brother, Artum, served as Avdeeva's contact with Polito over the telephone. In the heat of the recruiting process, Avdeeva agreed to come to Kansas.
At first, Avdeeva had reservations. She asked Polito if there were any Russians at the University. Polito told her about Kansas men's basketball freshman Sasha Kaun. Kaun, a reserve center on the team, is originally from Tomsk, Russia. Polito gave Avdeeva Kaun's contact information.
"Later I called him," Avdevea said. "He told me about KU. He learned three years in Florida. Here [Kansas] he likes more than Florida."
Avdevea said that Kaun told her all about living in the United States, in Kansas and attending the University. Kaun and Avdevea still keep in contact.
"A good friendship," Avdeeva
Despite having traveled across the globe to compete for Kansas and earn an education, Avdeeva said she is close with her family and keeps in close touch with them.
Kansas tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt has been beside Avdeeva every step of the way.
"She misses home," Hall-Holt said. "We try to make a
happy environment for her."
The environment has certainly lived up to its billing. Avedeva said her new friends had made the transition smooth for her.
"People here are very friendly," Avdeeva said. "If you need help, anyone will help you."
"During school, they [teammates] ask me how are classes," Avdeeva added. "Three weeks ago, when I needed books, people helped me."
Adjusting to the different lifestyle is part of the transition she is making in becoming a student-athlete.
"Every 15 minutes, I hear,
'Liza, come on,' she said. "It was weird. But now it helps me.
I'm not alone. It's team tennis."
On the hardcourts, Avdeeva received moral support from her teammates.
So far this season, Avdeeva, is still looking for her first collegiate victory (0-4). She has competed against some of the top talents in the country. But at this point, winning isn't everything.
"I think there was more pressure just coming out, that she wanted to do so well. And its not about who she was playing against," Hall-Holt said. "I think it more about that she wanted to play so hard that she put the pressure on herself."
Avdeeva and Hall-Holt talked about goals at the start of the season.
"It's important to believe in winning," Avdeeva said. "But also believe in yourself."
This week, the tennis team (0-1 Big 12 Conference, 1-4 overall) gears up for a road trip to University Park, Pa. where Kansas will take on Penn State and Yale this weekend.
"I see her making big strides," Hall-Holt said. "She's got an excellent game. I definitely see her making a big impact."
After only five matches this season, Avdeeva said she was happy to be a Jayhawk.
"I can say I like playing here," she said. "I like playing for team."

NHL
Hockey season called off after negotiations hit wall
BY IRA PODELL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - The NHL canceled what little was left of the season yesterday after a series of last-minute offers were rejected on the final day of negotiations.
A lockout over a salary cap shut down the game before it ever got a chance to start in October. Now the NHL, already low on the popularity scale in the United States, becomes the first major pro sports league in North America to lose an entire season to a labor dispute.
"As I stand before you today, it is my sad duty to announce ... it no longer is practical to conduct even an abbreviated season," commissioner Gary Bettman said. "Accordingly, I have no choice but to announce the formal cancellation of play for 2004-05."
Bettman said the sides would continue working to get an agreement.
"We're planning to have hockey next season," he said.
A few hours later, NHLPA executive director Bob Goodenow stressed that the players had given a lot of
ground.
"Keep one thing perfectly clear," he said. "The players never asked for more money—they just asked for a market-place."
The league and players' union traded a flurry of proposals and letters Tuesday night, but could never agree on a cap. The players proposed $49 million per team; the owners said $42.5 million. But a series of conditions and fine print in both proposals made the offers farther apart than just $6.5 million per team.
This will be just the second time the Stanley Cup isn't
awarded since Canadian governor general Lord Stanley first had the idea for a North American champion trophy in 1893; the last was 1919, when a flu epidemic forced the finals to be called off in the then 2-year-old league. There was a lockout in 1994-95 that ended in time for teams to play 48 games, still more than half the regular season.
Before Monday, the idea of a salary cap was a deal-breaker for the players' association but the union gave in and said it would accept one when the NHL dropped its insistence that
there be a link between revenues and plaver costs.
That still wasn't enough to end the lockout that started on Sept. 16 and ultimately wiped out the entire 1,230-game schedule and the playoffs.
And now, that offer is off the table.
"By necessity we have to go back to linkage since no one knows what the damage to the sport will be," Betttman said.
The NHL's last game came in June, when the Tampa Bay Lightning beat Calgary 2-1 in Game 7 to win the Stanley Cup.
Since then, a lot of stars have
moved on, going overseas to play. Jaromir Jagr, Vincent Lecavalier, Teemu Selanne, Joe Thornton and Saku Koivu are among the more than 300 of the league's 700-plus players who spent part of this season playing in Europe.
For other older players, such as Mario Lemieux, Mark Messier and Dominik Hasek, the cancellation puts their careers in limbo.
"This is a tragedy for the players," Bettman said. "Their careers are short and this is money and opportunity they'll never get back," Bettman said.

Professor encourages acceptance
University Daily Kansan staff writer Estuardo Garcia spoke with Akbar Ahmed earlier this week about issues Muslim Americans face in today's society. Ahmed is a professor and author of "Islam Under Siege." Ahmed will meet with students from 10 to 11:30 today at the Hall Center's Conference Hall for a question and answer session. He gave a lecture on Islam Under Siege last night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

If you talk to Muslims they feel they're under siege. If you talk to Americans they feel they're under siege. If you talk to Israelis they feel like they're under siege. And when societies are under siege they tend to be on the defensive.

yet this is a time when they need to reach out and need to build bridges.
Do you think that students from Middle Eastern countries studying abroad will help re-establish the
importance of education in the Muslim world?
It's very important for the Muslim world.
It is also very important for America because it builds bridges both ways.
If you don't have that bridge you don't have that link. Not only the Muslim world, but it's also the United States that desperately needs to win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world. And one of the great traditions of America was to attract students from the third world and developing worlds, and that is what America has to do again.

Language day celebration
BY ERIC SORRENTINO esorrentino@hansen.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Language is a manner of expression, but to the Bangladeshi people, it is a way of life.
The Bangla language was saved in 1971 when Bangladesh achieved its independence from Pakistan.
The Bangladesh Student Association of KU (BSAKU), along with the Bangladesh Association of Greater Kansas City (BSGKC), will bring Bangladesh heritage and tradition to Lawrence on Sunday.
"We feel very proud that there is no other nation in the world

Hossain said it was important to preserve the language because he wanted to remember the four martyrs who sacrificed their lives in 1952. He also said that other countries celebrated linguistic diversity in

Scott Clark virtually lives in a warehouse at the intersection of Seventh and New Jersey streets. Monday through Saturday his workday begins at 7:30 a.m., and, on some days, it doesn't end until 9 p.m. But this was the reason Clark came to the University of Kansas.
Clark, a graduate student from Columbia, Mo., is one of 18 architecture students in Studio 804 who, for the next four months, will build an entrylevel house for a family in Kansas City, Kan. The group has scheduled an open house visitation for May 21.
"It's pretty intense," Clark said. "It's expected though. I think that it's a lot more work than what we get in a regular studio. We actually get to put to
use, put into practice what we learn."
TOMMY KELLY
The 1,200 square-foot house will have two bedrooms and one bathroom and will be built over a full basement and garage, said Randy Taylor, St. James, Mo., graduate student.
The group of architecture students — 10 graduate students and eight fifth-year seniors — started the house's overall design on Jan. 3, but it continues to tweak it as the work progresses.
The group has completed much of the house's framing, flooring and temporary foundation after a week and a half of working. Taylor said.
The students built the frame on Monday and raised it on Tuesday. Before that, it took the students three days to lay the floor beams and a few days to fill in the foundation, he said.

construction, to interior design. Taylor said. Sub-contractors will install critical elements such as electricity, plumbing, heating and ventilation, but the Studio 804 students had more responsibilities than than most professionals. Taylor said. Most professional architects design a building and oversee the construction contractor.
"I think this is unique in the sense we're actually building what we design." Taylor said.

Women's basketball will look to bounce back from Wednesday's loss to Texas Tech and avenge an earlier loss with Sunday's game against a peaking Nebraska team.

The Cornhuskers have a strong defensive presence, which could force the Jayhawks to shoot from the perimeter before moving the ball to the inside. PAGE 1B

Band nears fiscal goal

After months of fundraising, the KU Band's Wind Ensemble has almost raised enough money for its trip to China this summer.
Wednesday night Student Senate approved a $10,000 donation to the wind ensemble, leaving the group only $10,000 short of its $105,000 goal. The group now has time to focus on other projects, including a CD that will highlight music from the Chinese tour.
John P. Lynch, conductor of the wind ensemble and director of the music and dance department, prepares to direct the musicians' finale of the "Serenade in D minor" by Antonin Dvorak at the Lied Center last Friday night. This May the group will travel across the world to perform in China.
Even though the wind ensemble is close to its final goal, John Lynch said he wouldn't rest until the trip was totally funded.
totally nauseous.
"I will still be nervous until the last penny is raised," said Lynch, the ensemble's director. "But I was thrilled and overwhelmed about the senate's decision."
Lynch said the last $10,000 the group had to raise might come from the school of fine arts. Steven Hedden, dean of fine arts, told Lynch that he would find a way to help raise the last $10,000.
There are a total of 66 members that will travel to China. Each member was responsible for $550. The group is using $30,000 from the KU band's budget as well as $12,500 from the differential tuition fund.
With most of the funding complete, Lynch and the rest of the wind ensemble will now dedicate time to rehearsal and preparation for the trip.
The wind ensemble will practice three times a week for the rest of the semester. During rehearsals, the ensemble will practice five pieces that will be recorded for a promotional CD, which will highlight some music that will be performed in China.
Lynch will fly to a recording studio in Los Angeles this summer to edit the
CD. Copies will be distributed to other universities and schools across the country.
"The CD is a great, thing for our group," Lynch said. "We are going to distribute these CDs all over the country and really try and get KU's name out there."

Players hold down fort for charity
BY ADAM LAND

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Players eagerly shuffled chips between their fingers as they waited for the sign to shuffle and the hand to begin.
The tournament met that target number 12 minutes to go before the event began.
Organizers of the charity Texas Hold 'em Tournament, which took place last night at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St., expected to bring in 100 people.
BOLTZEL
Lines wrapped around the building with people waiting to get inside. The tournament could handle 120 people at most, but when players kept coming, the organizers began taking down names for fill-in positions.
Those names filled three pages.
Twenty minutes after the event was supposed to start, the staff gave potential players the news that the tournament was at capacity.
"We had to turn away around 50 to 75 people," said Chris Pumpelly, University Daily Kansan promotions manager.
Erin Droste/KANSAN
The staff gave apologies and free t-shirts to those who were denied seats.
Players represented a variety of seasoned veterans and new players still figuring out their own style.
"I play about three times a week," Mike Rubaie, Overland Park senior, said. "I think the experience helps, and I really want to win an iPod."
He started to play the game more than a year ago after he saw it on television. The skill and luck involved make the game fun, Rubiae said. Skills of each player were tested against seven others at each table.
Ashkahn Negahban, Tulsa, Okla., senior, checks his cards before placing his bet in a hand of Texas Hold'em Poker at Abe and Jake's Landing last night. The University Daily Kansan sponsored the event to raise money for Habitat for Humanity.
Players improve as they play and try to identify other techniques and bluffs at the table. Rubiae said it helped identify weak and strong players.
Each player received the equivalent of $2,000 in chips. Players place antes, or blinds, which were gradually increased to speed along games.
"I really haven't played that much."
John Pierron, St. Louis, Mo., senior,
said. "This is the third time I've ever
played in one of these."
"It really helps to have a few wins in the beginning." Rubaie said. "That way when the blinds are raised you don't have to win."
Both Rubaie and Pierron started
with the same amount of chips. Though Rubiae was more experienced, he had $2,325 in chips while Pierron had $3,600 in chips.
Money raised through the optional $10 entry donations will go to the KU Habitat for Humanity.
Last night's tournament was the Kansan's second. Last semester's tournament raised $1,000 for Andy Marso, a 2004 KU graduate who survived meningitis.
Pumpelly said the staff would consider another tournament later this semester because of the large turn-out

Paul Simon, a deceased senator from Illinois, established the award to recognize schools that excel in international education.
The following four schools also received the award this year.
Colby College in Waterville, Maine

Bert Nash adopts new treatment
Dianne Asher, a project manager with the University of Kansas school of social welfare, will train and consult Bert Nash in the Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment (IDDT) program.
A new form of mental health treatment is coming to the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 200 Maine St.
Eunice Ruttinger, director of adult outpatient services at Bert Nash, said people with mental health issues often had problems with substance abuse.
recovery groups is critical, along with the management of symptoms, Asher said.
IDDT involves individual case management. Involvement of family members and of the patient in
Past treatments for those with both problems involved therapy for substance abuse before any treatment for mental health problems. The approach wasn't effective, Ruttinger said.
"We are now looking at these as coexisting conditions that need to be treated simultaneously." Ruttinger said.
Bert Nash will inaugurate the new treatment with a celebration on Feb. 25th at the center from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

respect of the Bangladeshi people preserving their language.
The Lawrence and Kansas City, Mo., international community will celebrate International Mother Language Day in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. Hossain said this was the biggest holiday of the year for the Bangladeshi people, who observe this day for the entire month of February.
Nearly 200 countries celebrate International Mother Language Day, and pay respect to their own mother languages, Hossain said. He said 50 people from Lawrence and the Kansas City area showed up last year, but this year he was expecting more than 80 people.
M. Ehsanul Hoque, president of BSAKU from Dhaka, Bangladesh, said this was the second year that this day would be celebrated at the University.
Hoque said there were 36 members in the BSAKU and at least 50 members attended the University.
Rehan Reza, president of BSGKC, said 150 Bangladeshi people lived in the Kansas City area and 400 to 500 Bangladesh people live in Kansas.
Reza said his organization celebrated International Mother Language Day in Lawrence with the BSAKU every year. He said the primary goal was to educate the children.
"Some of the kids don't know much about the language movement, so we want to make sure they're aware." Reza said.
Hossain said the event would feature cultural food such as rice and curry meat.
"On this day, we will recognize the sacrifice that our ancestors made to gain independence." Hogue said.
Everyone will get the opportunity to sing a 'native Bangladesh patriotic song as well. A guest speaker will talk about Bangla, the mother tongue of Bangladesh, and there will be a film show toward the end of the event.
The event is free and open to the public.

been a kind of barrier put up. So many students are now no longer coming to America. Many of them are going off to Europe and other places because of all the problems they have in getting visas and so on. It must be encouraged to build bridges, to develop understanding and to create a dialogue.
You now teach at American University in Washington D.C. Would you say that American students are open-minded to the ideas of Islam?
Edited by Lori Bettes
I would say that I have some wonderful students.
They are inquisitive. They are very fair. They are serious and committed about learning, and they come with an open mind.
That's why I have hope for this country, and I have hope for the future.
I think the most important thing they can do is to start reaching out to learning about other cultures, about religion
What is the most important thing that American students can do to improve relations with Muslims?
other people. They must start building bridges because they are living in a world, which is an interconnected world. They are no longer isolated.
They are the future leaders of America and in one sense they are the future leaders of the world. They cannot live in a cocoon or a bubble of ignorance. They have to be part of the world, and to be leaders of the world they must understand the world.
So I would simply say read, talk, interact, learn about other cultures. And I find, in my class for instance, they are marvelous students and really committed to learning and reading.
What would you want Islamic students living in the United States to do?
I would like them also to do the same thing. I want them to come out of their cocoons. I want them to go to the synagogue. I want them to go to the church. I don't think they do enough of that, and they certainly haven't done it so far.
I say this to them whenever I talk to them that they have to stop being defensive, they must stop living in a cultural ghetto.
They are part of this wonderful society, and they have to feel part of it. They should stop feeling that somehow there's something wrong and that there's a cloud over them.
What is the greatest misconception the West has about Islam?
The greatest misconception is that it's a terrorist religion, that it's an extremist religion, that it's not an Abrahamic faith, it's a religion of "Satan-worshipers." This is what people have said in the media. It just embarrases people.
We, the friends of America, feel embarrassed because it just reflects nothing but ignorance.
CLARIFICATION
Who has the most influence in changing the Western view of Islam?
I think people who are young, who are writing about these events about Islam, and are prepared to open their minds and look at the same problem from a different perspective. You people will change things, not the vested interest, not people who are digging in and who are looking at it from the old perspective. It's the youth of America.

- Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an uncle headline. The subheadline on "Rival recruits westerners" read, "K-State attracts more in-state students." Though the University of Kansas enrolled more in-state students, Kansas State University has a higher percentage of in-state students enrolled.
ON THE RECORD
♦ The KU Public Safety Office was called to the third floor of Hashinger Hall at 1:43 a.m. yesterday. An officer called Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical for assistance. A 21-year-old student was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and released later that morning.

▼ MCKERNAN'S PERSPECTIVE
This is BRAZIL.
It is a large country
that loves jungles
and soccer.
ANY QUESTIONS?
BRAZIL
MyKos
Kevin McKernan/KANSAN
Broaden world perspective begin with Brazil tutorial
HATE ME!
P
Because this is a university, we expect students to be well-rounded individuals. This is unfortunately not always the case. It's shocking to realize how many people do not know about other countries, and sometimes even about what is happening inside the United States.
JULIA MELIM COELHO
jcoelho@kansan.com
I will address these people who pay no attention to the media in hopes that by their graduation, they will have learned something. Because I'm from Brazil, I will start with it and describe my experiences since beginning my study at the University of Kansas.
Americans have not closely examined other cultures, relying too much on stereotypes, such as that Brazil is a jungle or that there are no computers or a certain level of technology. But Brazil offers almost everything that the United States offers. Stereotypes exist for a reason, but they are not always true.
Brazilians also have stereotypes about the United States. For example, Americans do not know anything about other countries and have never traveled abroad. But an amazing number of KU students have traveled abroad.
Still, I'm asked questions all of the time that would seem obvious. A few include: "Where is Brazil? What language do they speak there?"
I'll answer these questions now, so that I will not have to answer them again.
Brazil is located in South America, and the people do not speak Spanish; they speak Portuguese. Other bright questions I have been asked: "Do you have calculators in Brazil? Is there Internet in Brazil? Are there lions in the middle of the streets?"
These are real questions, and the list goes on.
I've also noticed parts of American culture I don't understand. Starting with daily things: Americans are used to eating bacon for breakfast—and eggs, pancakes and sausage. Even college-age kids in Lawrence do not care much about their health. They might go to the gym, but they give up hamburgers and fries? It's doubtful. Brazilians are worried about their health and will not accept a sandwich or a quick snack to replace lunch or dinner. In Brazil young people especially are worried about their health and looks. They are even known as the "healthy generation."
Another shock is if a Brazilian tries to go out in Lawrence, the clubs close at about 2 a.m., and they have something called "last call."
The Brazilian nightclubs are normally open until 6 a.m., and they never stop serving drinks. If you know any Brazilians, you will notice they normally do not go out to party before 11 p.m. or midnight, even if the clubs close at 2 a.m. This is because they are used to going out and comin-
back the next day.
Even though Brazil and the United States differ in many aspects, it's not a different world there. Movies come out at almost the same time in both countries. And the movie theaters look exactly the same. Also, the songs on the radio are nearly the same but with Brazilian music added to the American repertoire: Travel 5,000 miles to Brazil, turn on the radio and listen to the same songs as in Lawrence.
Against all stereotypes, Brazil is a mix of urbanization, nature, culture and technology. It is a nation that learned how to balance fun and working hard.
These are just some examples that reflect the different lifestyle that Brazilians and Americans have developed throughout time.
Antonio Simoes, associate professor of Spanish and Portuguese who is from Brazil, said Americans were normally more informed about their own country, unless they had traveled abroad. He said this ignorance is not only of Brazil but in general toward foreign countries.
Simoes said he could not understand how Brazil and the United States could be so different because they had so much in common. "We are also part of the New World," Simoes said about Brazil. He said that both countries were similar in size and that they were part of the same colonization period.
The reasons that college students do not know about other countries are many. A possible reason, Simoes said, was that people in dominating countries had a tendency to isolate themselves, creating a strong sense of nationalism.
People in both the United States and Brazil have a lot to learn from each other, and this is why every culture should be equally valued. It is hard to define myth and truth, but it is a rewarding experience. To truly understand a culture, you have to be there, but being informed is the way to begin.

THEFACEBOOK.COM ATE MY SOUL
Get off your computer; have real conversations
I know it's a cliché, but it's hard to deny that the world is rapidly getting smaller.
---
As I write this article, I am signed on to three instant messaging programs, two e-mail accounts, my journal on Xanga.com and, of course, the infamous Thefacebook.com
DENNIS CHANAY
dchanay@kansan.com
Thefacebook.com.
It's amazing that all of these things have become commonplace in today's culture, even though they serve the same basic purpose: connecting us with other people.
But how much have these tools really advanced the art of communication? How many of our Thefacebook.com "friends" do we really converse with face-to-face on a weekly basis?
The answer for most of us is probably not many. That's because, while the Internet seems to be rapidly breaking down the barriers of distance and time in personal relationships, our natural tendency toward laziness rebuilds those barriers in the oddest ways.
A "friend" has become something that we digitally collect, putting him or her up on a shelf along with the others to increase our network.
Have you ever had someone ask you to be his or her friend on Thefacebook.com who you are certain you don't know? Well, chances are you don't know that person, but you may be a friend of a friend of a friend. So do you add this person whom you're sure you don't know, simply to compile a larger friends list?
The conversations that followed were some of the most intriguing I've ever been a part of. One person was completely obsessed with the goal of reaching 200 friends. Another believed such an action would ruin the "legitimacy" of thefacebook.com. The third saw thefacebook.com as a way to meet new
I asked three of my friends this question, over MSN Messenger of course, and received three distinct answers: "Yes," "No," and "If they're reasonably cute."
love interests. "Everyone loves a good poking," he said.
nure in which we can sit back and wait for people to come to us, we're losing a piece of ourselves.
The obvious problem here is the more time we spend on the Internet trying to meet people, the less time we are spending actually meeting people. The more friends we "collect," the less value the word "friend" actually has. By creating a cul-
Of course, there are success stories too. One of my best high school friends recently transferred from the University of Kansas to the University of Central Arkansas to be closer to his girlfriend, whom he met on the Internet in seventh grade. The bond that these two had created was strong enough to convince my friend to pack up his stuff and head out of state.
But how often does this ever happen? Hardly ever. Romantic relationships are best built with actual contact.
A 1998 study by Robert Kraut and Sara Kiesler, doctors of social psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, found that use of the Internet resulted in alarming increases in depression and loneliness, paired with decreases in social engagement, stating that real-life, intimate relationships are often swallowed up by shallow online relationships.
These words ring in my head as I find myself chatting with a friend that lives 20 feet down the hall, over MSN Messenger. How many of our personal relationships are slowly withering or dying due to our decreasing lack of human contact? Should we really gamble with something as precious as friendship? Of course not.
So, maybe we should spend a little less time collecting "friends," and more time making friends. Log off of the Blogspot, and tell your stories over lunch. If we all did this, the world may not be as small, but it would be more friendly.

Of-age drinkers' credibility hurt by fake ID crackdown
Minors think it's easy to use fake IDs according to an article in The University Daily Kansan this week. Because so many students and Lawrence

residents use fakes, Lawrence-area bartenders have reason to be skeptical.
The bartender working Monday night at Louise's Bar Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., denied my ID, and I'm actually legal.
After a 12-hour day of school and work, I was ready to enjoy a schooner and watch the KU men's basketball game. A friend of mine had secured a booth and was already halfway through his first beer when I arrived.
The bartender asked for my ID, and because I've been 21 for some time now, I obliged. I had nothing to hide. My hands didn't shake as I handed him the identification. It has a hologram so he must have realized it was real. I got it from the DMV, not some kid in Ellsworth.
sign my name, but I was in complete shock.
He asked for a second form so I gave him my KUID. My hair's a little shorter than two years ago when I got my ID renewed at age 20, but my face hasn't changed.
For some reason he looked timid. Maybe recently he got in trouble for letting minors drink. Lots of people who aren't old enough try to drink in this town. But if the problem is so bad in Lawrence, bartenders should be able to tell whether an ID is real. I would have volunteered to
Lucas Tarde, another bartender at Louise's, said bartenders used a booklet issued by the state of Kansas to decide whether an ID was real. He said he took fakes and told minors not to come back. He couldn't tell me why I had a problem.
Fortunately the bartender on Monday night didn't threaten to take away my ID. If he had called the police they could have fingerprinted me, proving my identity.
Police arrested the students in Ellsworth who didn't realize the consequences of making and distributing fakes.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office, said his department tried to educate students about the hazards and the legal consequences of possessing and making fake IDs starting at new student orientation.
He said the bars in Lawrence worked hard to detect fakes and that many had installed expensive equipment to help their staff. If Louise's scanned IDs, I wouldn't have had a problem.
I go to bars for the atmosphere. At the risk of sounding like an alcoholic, it's more fun to watch the game on a big-screen TV with a bunch of people and a huge glass of beer.
If people didn't make and use fake IDs, bartenders would be more trusting and I wouldn't have been robbed of my experience.

Family Feud helps abused children
Sigma Delta Tau, 1625 Edgehill Road, will hold a Family Feud fundraiser on Sunday to prevent child abuse.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward Prevent Child Abuse America, as part of Sigma Delta Tau's national philanthropy program.
"We're a smaller sorority on campus, so we'd really like to let people know who we are and what we support," said Rachel Benson, vice president of internal relations and co-philanthropy chair.
The Plano, Texas, sophomore said the sorority wanted to raise $2,000 for Prevent Child Abuse America, which has a national office located in Chicago.
This is the first year the sorority is having the Family Feud fundraiser. Benson said the sorority did a "Bowl-a-Thon" event in the past, but did not generate as much money as it would have liked
Benson said the teams would play three rounds of Family Feud. She said Royals tickets and a night's stay at Days Inn would be rewarded to the best-dressed team.
Sigma Delta Tau will designate five sorority members per team. It costs $75 per team to participate. Benson said she encouraged students outside the sorority to attend the fundraiser for entertainment purposes and to support the cause. It costs $2 for people outside the sorority to attend.
The fundraiser is scheduled from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday at the Kansas Ballroom in the Kansas Union.

'Simpsons' comes out

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Look out Will, move over Ellen and make room Rosie, there's going to be a new gay TV character to share the limelight.
On Sunday, a character from "The Simpsons," will be coming out of the closet to add to the increasing number of gay television characters.
Who will it be? And more importantly, will anyone care?
The students in the class he teaches, "Language, Gender and the Queer Identity." haven't brought up "The Simpsons" episode, even though they have an interest in this subject matter, Manning said.
Despite the increase of gays and lesbians on television in the past decade, they are still proportionally under-represented on television. Manning said.
According to Fox.com, in this

episode, entitled "There's Something About Marrying," the town of Springfield legalizes same-sex marriage to boost tourism dollars.
Homer becomes an Internetordained priest and marries people, including someone in his circle of friends.
The outcome of the episode probably won't shock "The Simpsons"" audience, said Shawn Roney, Richmond, Mo., graduate student in film.
"The Simpsons" doesn't play favorites and will handle same-sex marriage in a satirical way that pokes fun at everyone, said Maureen Warren, Garden City senior and Social and Pride Week chairwoman for Queers & Allies.
"It has a subversive quality that appeals to an audience that probably has a more liberal attitude," Röpey said.

BetUs.com, a gambling Web site, is taking bets on which character will be coming out of the closet.
It lists Patty, Marge's cellate, spinster sister, as its first choice. Waylon Smithers, Mr. Burns' effeminate sidekick, is in at second, and Bart's best friend, Milhouse, comes in at third.
People can also place bets on Lenny, Selma, Carl, Moe, Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, Homer and Abu.
Smithers is Roney's choice to be the one coming out of the closet.
In the 200th episode of "The Simpsons," there was a series of clips that framed him as gay, Roney said, such as a clip that was a dream scene of Mr. Burns singing "Happy Birthday" similar to Marilyn Monroe singing to John F. Kennedy.

"Smithers is too obvious," Manning said. "I think it's Mr. Burns. He's old and single. It makes him more of a choice."
Manning thinks Mr. Burns is the one coming out of the closet.
"Moe or Flanders. Moe has always been ambiguous. I guess it could be Lenny or Carl 'cause they've been together. Flanders would be outrageous."

The studio was given a contracted budget of $105,000 from the City Vision Ministries in association with the Rosedale Development Association and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County. The students could spend the budget however they chose, and they were not responsible for site improvement costs such as landscaping and foundation, which included the garage. The market rate for this type of house would sell around the $150,000 range
said Dan Rockill, professor of architecture.
But previous Studio 804 houses have been criticized for not having enough storage space, so this house will come equipped with 40 feet of shelving space, Taylor said.
The program is in its seventh year, and last year's house won Architecture Magazine's Home of the Year Award, Rockhill said.
Studio 804 builds a house for Lawrence residents every spring semester. But because of a lack of available property in Lawrence, the house will be transported to Kansas City, Kan., for the second consecutive year, Rockhill said.
The house will also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act with a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, hallway and a ramp to the front door.
In order to transport the house to Kansas City, it has been constructed into six modules of 200 square-feet each, Taylor said.
The transportation date is scheduled for the first week in April. The group will then work in Kansas City to piece the house back together and complete any site improvements, Taylor said.

Iowa State on Big 12 streak
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWITCHWRITER
Let's face it: Kansas may have a more difficult time defeating Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse than they did at Hilton Coliseum on Jan. 12.
The Cyclones' recent play is proof that this is not the team that the Jayhawks defeated 71-66 in their Big 12 road opener. Not only have the Cyclones won their last six games, but they are defeating teams by an average of 13 points per contest.
During that six-game winning streak, the Cyclones have knocked off three of the top five teams in the Big 12 Conference: Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks, who sit at the top of the Big 12 at 10-1, hope they don't make it four of five.
Iowa State boasts a 6-5 Big 12 record. But they lost their first five Big 12 games. Its latest six-game swing has moved it into fifth place in the Big 12, a long way from where they started.
"I think you can make a strong case for them going into the NCAA tournament," Self said. "They could play themselves into the tournament, and Saturday is a great opportunity for them.

"You have got to take care of business, which means winning the games you are supposed to win," Miles said. "Especially winning at home."

Errors give Kansas victory

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas' bats kept ringing yesterday afternoon as the team topped South Dakota State 13-5 for a second consecutive victory.
Kansas (8-3) pounded out 13 runs on 12 hits, led by junior shortstop Ritchie Price. Price went 3-4 with four RBI. Senior first baseman Andy Scholl busted out of a 1-for-20 slump with a 2-3 effort, raising his batting average .080 in the process.
Frin Droste/KANSAN
The Jayhawks were in a battle early. SDSU (0-2) scored two runs in the second and third innings to erase a 3-0 Kansas advantage. With the game tied in the bottom of the fourth, Scholl tripled off the right field wall to score junior center fielder Matt Baty. Price followed with a single that brought Scholl home, giving the Jayhawks a 6-4 lead. The Jayhawks added another run in the inning to make it a three-run cushion.
Ritchie Price, junior infielder, threw back to first after tagging out South Dakota State's Greg Geary in the bottom of the fourth inning yesterday. The Jayhawks went on to win 13-5 and will play the third game of the series at 3 p.m. tomorrow at Hoglund Ballpark.
After Kansas' big fourth inning, the team added five more in the fifth, putting the game out of reach, 12-4. The big blow in the inning was Baty's line-drive, two-run home run to left field. Senior catcher Sean Richardson and freshman John Allman each added an RBI.
Kansas reached double digits in the hit column for the eighth time in 11 games, this season.
"It's good to get the win. We had a couple of meltdowns, though, so we need to tighten it up a little bit," Price said about the Kansas defense. Both teams could be best described as shaky.
Kansas 'far-from-stellar defensive performance was marked by two errors, bringing the season's total to 20. Its struggles are something that coach Ritch Price has lamented since the season began in Hawaii.
Kansas' performance was overshadowed,however,by an even worse one by SDSU. Four Jackrabbit errors resulted in two unearned runs.
In the bottom of the first, two errors by Jackrabbits' freshman third baseman Tyson Fisher led to the Jayhawks' early 3-0 lead. Fisher had another miscue in the fourth, leading to another unearned run for Kansas.
"I thought the two defensive mistakes today were sloppy," Price said. "I think they were just the result of nerves."

Track and field athletes contribute to legacy
Benson Chesang has been topping the headlines lately for the Kansas track and field team — deservedly so.
Any record that stands for 37 years lasts that long for a reason. When the junior runner crossed the finish line in the 3,000-meter run last Saturday at the John McDonnell-Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., more than one second faster than it took Kansas great Jim Ryun in the same event in 1968, it was a monumental moment in Kansas sports history.
With any luck, Chesang, who's also an All-American cross country runner, will go to next month's NCAA Championships and duplicate some of the success he had in cross country last November.
That said, Chesang is not the only Jayhawk track and field athlete deserving props. School records are being challenged or falling all over the place in that arena, and he's not the only one breaking them.
The day before Chesang's historic run, senior Amy Linnen broke the Kansas pole vault record that had only been set the previous week by freshman Ekaterina Sultanova. Linnen vaulted to a height of 13-11 1/4, beating Sultanova's mark by more than three inches and automatically qualifying herself for the NCAA Championships.
Sultanova had broken the record twice in the course of the season, the first time in January at the Arkansas Invitational, then again a couple weeks ago at the Husker Invitational. Count her as another Jayhawk looking to make an impact at the NCAA Championships.
Senior Brooklyn Hann has been putting her name in the record books all season. Saturday, she finished with the second-best time in school history in the 60-meter hurdles. She already owns the school record in the triple jump. Her 42-4 jump at the Husker Invitational broke her previous school record by an inch.
Then there's junior transfer Sheldon Battle, new this year from Mesa Community College, in Arizona, where he was the junior college national champion last year in shot put and discus. Battie hasn't yet topped any Kansas records, but he's gotten close. His shot put throw Saturday was the third best in school history, and his weight throw last Friday put him in second place in the Kansas record books. Battle leads the Big 12 in shot put and is second in weights. He's rated fifth in the country in both events.
"There's great athletes that have competed here," Battle said. "To be on the same list as them is a great feeling."
Yes, there are a host of Kansas track and field greats — far too many to name in one column — and great moments. From Kansas' first All-

Jayhawks to avenge rising Cornhuskers

Team comes off tough home loss; takes on Nebraska
Several weeks ago, the match-up against unranked Nebraska seemed to be a relative break in Kansas' rugged late season schedule.
Instead, the Jayhawks will face a peaking Cornhusker team that has won five of its last six games, most recently a 14-point victory against Texas A&M. Nebraska also issued an 88-59 defeat to No. 19 Iowa State last Saturday. Picked to finish ninth in the Big 12 Conference in a preseason poll, the Huskers currently stand in a tie for third place.
The Jayhawks, however, are coming off a 66-53 home defeat to No. 15 Texas Tech in which the Jayhawks showed a

clear lack of full intensity in the first half. Because of the lackluster performance on Wednesday, Kansas is eager to rebound.
Better focus is a necessity for Kansas to play well against the remaining teams on the conference slate, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
"We certainly have to be better to compete against the teams we have coming up the rest of the schedule," Henrickson said.
Sunday the Jayhawks hope to avenge the Jan. 29 defeat by Nebraska.
Taking a tight contest into
halftime, the Huskers rode a second half wave led by freshman forward Danielle Page and sophomore guard Kiera Hardy.
The reserve Page has quickly risen as a first-year player to become an offensive leader for Nebraska, 16-8 (8-4 Big 12).
"Danielle is growing every day," Nebraska coach Connie Yori said. "She is getting better every day in practice and in every game. She is very talented and now is the time that she is hitting her stride and understanding the kind of player she can be at this level."
Henrickson also said Page, averaging 9.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in conference play, would be a thorn in the Jayhawks' side coming off the bench.
Hardy. an athletic guard
who leads Nebraska in scoring, could create even more headaches for Kansas. Producing nearly 22 points per contest in league play, Hardy led all scorers in the season's first match-up.
To counter the threat of Hardy, Kansas will need to produce from the perimeter.
In the opening 20 minutes of the first game against Nebraska, Kansas made four three-point shots and trailed by three-point shots and trailed by the break. The Jayhawks made only one
Inconsistent outside shooting and a lack of open opportunities have been the downfalls for the Jayhawks throughout the Big 12 season, including the Texas Tech contest.

Team takes record-breaking performances to Oklahoma
The Kansas track and field team will head down Interstate 35 into Norman, Okla., for the Sooner Invitational, which begins tomorrow. This weekend's invitational marks the last meet before the Big 12 Conference Indoor Championships on Feb. 25.
The team has momentum going into the meet thanks to three record-breaking performances last weekend. Senior Amy Linnen broke the Kansas women's record in the pole vault, junior Benson Chesang set the men's record in the 3,000-meter run and sophomore Octavia Gairrett set the women's record in the 400-meter run.
With just one meet before the Big 12 Indoor Championships, the opportunities to qualify for National Indoor Championships are dwindling, coach Stanley Redwine said.
"There's always a sense of urgency, but if you know what they are capable of running and execute to that level, then we will do well," he said.

Rivalry continues with next race for Earnhardt, Waltrip
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Daytona 500 is still three days away and already NASCAR is in midseason form. The Dale Earnhardt Inc. team is running out in front and Kevin Harvick is being raped for reckless driving.
Michael Waltrip passed DEI teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final straightaway to win the first of two 150-mile qualifying races yesterday, while Tony Stewart won the second race after Harvick bumped leader Jimmie Johnson and ignited a wild crash.
Waltrip's victory put to rest speculation that the DEI team's days of dominance are over.

Iowa State freshmen boost team
BY KELLI ROBINETT
lrobinett@kansan.com
KANAN SPORTWRITER
with the freshmen's improved play, Iowa State's three leading scorers — senior forward Jared Homan, sophomore guard W Blalock and sophomore guard Curtis Stinson — have felt far less of a burden to score, Kansas coach Bill Self said.
Iowa State freshmen Tasheed Carr and Rahshon Clark have come out of nowhere to help the Cyclones record six straight victories.
"The emergence of Carr and Clark, I think, have been huge keys in their success." Self said. "They have really stepped up their game to take the pressure off Homan, Blalock and Stinson."
Carr, a guard from Philadelphia, averages only 5.5 points per game, but since Big 12 Conference play began, he has scored eight points a contest. He has scored in double figures in four of his last five games, and he had a career-high 22 points at Texas
Clark, a forward from Queens, N.Y. has shown similar progress. His scoring average in conference games is up to 8.3 points per game, including a 19-point performance against Bavlor.
Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan said his team would not be on a hot streak without Carr and Clark.
"Those two freshmen are starting to figure out what we're doing." Morgan said, "and playing the way they're capable of has really helped out."
Carr and Clark, I think have been huge keys in their success."

In addition to Carr's and Clark's offensive improvements, the Cyclones have defended well in their last few games.
During the Cyclones' winning streak, no team has scored more than 80 points against them. Kansas State managed to put up only 42 points against them in Ames, Iowa on Tuesday.
"They defended K-State beautifully," Self said. "They play different types of zone. It looks like man-to-man zone, but it's more of a match-up. They're going to play zone, for the most part, the entire game."
The Cyclones' zone defense may not be as well-known as the systems Syracuse and Temple use, but they take pride in running it.
"Obviously we believe in it, because we play it," Morgan said. "If you can keep it tight enough you should cut down on penetration and force people to get open."

Royals rebuilding with young players
BY STEVE BRISENDENE The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tony Pena hasn't yet unveiled his T-shirt slogan for this year's edition of the Kansas City Royals.
"Some Assembly Required" might be a good choice for Pena's fourth full season as manager, as Kansas City continues the youth movement to which it turned in 2003.
The Royals, who tumbled to a team-record 104 losses last season after contending for a playoff spot for much of 2003, enter spring training this year with new parts everywhere and significant question marks as to where — or how well — all of them will fit.
"Last year we never turned the corner," reliever Mike MacDougal said. "Maybe this team will be more gritty and feisty. There are a lot of young guys competing for spots, so it brings out the best in people."
Only five of the 10 opening day starters — counting the designated hitter — return from last year's team. None had a great year, although first baseman-designed hitter Ken Harvey probably came closest.
The reliance on young players has the backing of owner David Glass, whose biggest foray into the free agent market — the signing of Juan Gonzalez before last season — blew up in the team's face when Gonzalez lasted only until May 22 before getting hurt.
"Playing comfortably together — that can happen quickly," general manager Allard Baird said yesterday in a telephone interview from Surprise, Ariz., where the team's pitchers and catchers are due to report tomorrow. "Being able to go out there and deal with adversity — that takes time, and I don't think anybody can put a timetable on that."
"I think Allard's approach is the right approach for a market our size, to keep the team together for six or seven years instead of the constant turnover," Glass said. "Smaller markets need to develop young players and sprinkle in veterans when they need them."
The rebuilding job is a literal one for one member of the Royals' pitching staff — maybe two, depending on how veteran right-hander Kevin Appier's comeback try turns out.
Appier, signed to a minor-league contract in the offseason, is coming off elbow surgery. With so many young pitchers contending for spots, he's a long shot.
But the Royals haven't forgotten how Appier joined the team late in 2003, when injuries had decimated the pitching staff, and tried to help Kansas City stay in contention.
More likely to be back in the rotation is right-hander Runelvys Hernandez, who hasn't pitched since undergoing "Tommy John" surgery in 2003.
"It's been a long, long offseason," Pena said. "I don't want to talk about last year. Last year is in the past. We've been working so hard in the offseason to put the pieces together, what is the route to get where we need to go."
Charity sports event honors slain student
GYMNASTICS
The Shannon L. Martin Invitational Gymnastics meet will be held at Robinson Gymnasium Sunday.
The Invitational is a gymnastics meet organized in memory of Shannon L. Martin. Martin was a University of Kansas student majoring in biodiversity, ecology and evolutionary biology. She had a passion for the environment and also loved nature and traveling.
In addition to being a full-time student, Martin coached at the Kansas School of Gymnastics.
In 2000, Martin's hard work and discipline in academics led her into the Phi Beta Kappa Society. Also in 2000, Martin participated in a study abroad program in Golfito, Costa Rica. During her time in Costa Rica, she made an impact on the Golffo community. By request, Martin and other study abroad students organized an English course at the local high school and taught the course a few nights a week for three months.
Martin was murdered in Golftfo on May 13, 2001, while completing her final research project, only a few days before she was to graduate.
Martin's love for gymnastics and life are carried on through the Shannon L. Martin Foundation, a non-profit organization that her mother, Jeanette Stauffer, started a few months after her death.
"Gymnastics served her well," Stauffer said. "It taught her to be responsible and confident, and also taught her discipline."
The meet, this Sunday, is $5 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under. The money goes toward gymnastic meet fees and
other various expenses regarding competitions.
"It also helps to finance the cost of teaching gymnastics and goes towards parents that have difficulties paying for their children to do gymnastics." Stauffer said.

Tiger Woods behind Brits in Nissan Open
So did the leaderboard.
LOS ANGELES — The shifting wind and gloomy rain gave the Nissan Open a distinctly British feel yesterday.
Two months after finally earning his PGA Tour card, Brian Davis of England opened with an eagle and finished with eight straight pars on his way to a 6-under 65 for the early lead at Riviera Country Club.
Luke Donald of England and Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland were among those one shot behind.
Two-time defending champion Mike Weir was at 5 under until finding a bunker on his final hole and making bogey, dropping him into a large group at 67. Still, it was a solid start in his bid to become the first player to win the Nissan Open three straight years.
Tiger Woods should have no complaints, either.
Despite three-putting for bogey three times, Woods managed a 67 for his best start in his hometown tournament. The Nissan Open is the only PGA Tour event he has played at least four times without winning.
Woods needs to finish no worse than fourth to return to No.1 in the world.

"Our crowd needs to be great. We have a ton to play for," Self said. "If you told us at the beginning of the year that we would be 10-1 right now with three out of five left to play at home, we would think that was a good position to be in. The biggest thing for me is I think that our fans should savor the games our seniors have left. They only have three more chances to see them."

Self said Robinson had been playing better in game and practice situations.
However, in the last couple of games, Robinson has seen first-half time and has played with the starters.
"I think he did OK when he was in there against Tech," Self said. "Of course, whoever plays the best between Russell and Jeff Hawkins in practice will play in the game. Right now they are about even."

Success from the outside would open up the lane for junior forward Crystal Kemp, who enures steady double teams. Kemp has played off the added inside pressure by taking her scoring game outside and extending the range of her jump shots.
A performance equal to Kemp's second-half showing will be needed for Kansas to hang with Nebraska in the 1 p.m. contest on Sunday.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: 63-61
Cyclones dust 'Hawks in OT
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
BUDDY
HAWKS
But not angrv.
Angry isn't the word to describe the Kansas players and Bill Self after the Jayhawks' 63-61 overtime loss to the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday. Frustrated, confused, dejected — all were apparent on the faces of seniors Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and their coach.
Derek Klaus, Wichita junior, Sarah Connelly, Leavenworth junior and member of the Kansan advertising staff, and Justin LaBerge, Lawrence grad student, are nervous and upset about the close score before the KU men's basketball game went into overtime. Kansas ended up losing by two points.
It wasn't the same kind of anger that was evident after the double-overtime loss against Texas Tech, when the Jayhawks thought they got ripped off on a no-call foul on Miles.
This time they were frustrated because back-to-back losses have turned the Jayhawk's two-game lead in the Big 12 Conference into a first-place tie with Oklahoma State.
They were confused because Kansas had no answer for Iowa State's tricky match-up zone that kept them out of sync for the entire game.
Ginnv Weatherman/KANSAN
They were dejected because the four seniors had never lost a conference game at Allen Fieldhouse.
"That was our worst performance of the season," Langford said. "Combine that with the fact that they were tough, and that is how you lose."
But nobody pointed fingers at Langford for missing two free throws in overtime with the game tied 61-61. It would have been easy to blame sophomore guard J.R. Giddens, who went 5-16 from the field, for missing wide-open looks in the game's critical minutes, but no one did.
The Jahawks just didn't do what they needed to do to win, and the Cyclones did.
Kansas didn't get the ball to its best player;

Next year Daisy Hill will seem a little different from years past. Hashinger Hall will be closed during the 2005-2006 academic year for renovations. This will take away about 230 spots from returning students and incoming freshmen who wish to live on campus.
The Department of Student Housing is planning on issuing about 350 housing contracts to those students who wish to return to campus housing next
The department estimates that there will be about 3,000 freshmen enrolling next year. These incoming freshmen will have on-campus housing priority, said Diana Robertson associate director for residence life. This means she must prepare to house any number of those 3,000.

Dean rally sells out
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Even though he will not visit until Friday, Howard Dean drew a crowd yesterday outside of Liberty Hall.
About 100 people waited in line to buy tickets for a Kansas Democratic Party rally where the recently elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee will speak.
Ticket sales began a little before noon and half of the 900 tickets available to the public were sold within the first 40 minutes, said Rob Fitzgerald, manager of Liberty Hall Cinema.642 Massachusetts St.
By 2:30 p.m. all the tickets were gone.
The crowd was expected, Fitzgerald said, and a lot of people had called during the weekend to try to buy tickets.
Val Chermok, Omaha, Neb.
junior, said she hadn't expected
the crowd or Dean's visit.
"I was surprised he was coming because it's a red state, and I didn't think he would come to the Midwest right away," Chermok said.
Chermok said she was eager to see Dean strengthen the Democratic party and thought he would speak about his agenda for the party.
Dean will speak at a leadership conference at Washburn University in Topeka on Thursday. He will attend a private fundraiser in Lawrence on Friday before speaking at 5 p.m. in Liberty Hall.
Lawrence Gates, chairman of the Kansas Democratic Party, asked Dean to visit Kansas to speak about grassroots activism.
Lawrence is the perfect place to do that because of its strong political activism, said Mark Simpson, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party.
"It shows he is willing to
outld the Democratic Party everywhere," Simpson said. "He sees that there is a lot of potential for Democrats in Kansas."
Dean has attracted both Democrats and Republicans to his speech. Nathan Loukedes, Lawrence sophomore, waited in line for about 40 minutes to buy a ticket. Loukedes said he supported President Bush, but wanted to hear Dean talk about how he was going to unify the Democratic Party.
Dean's visit will also reinvigorate local politics during the postelection time period, said Kathy Greenlee, chairwoman of the Douglas County Democratic Part.
"For anybody involved in politics, it's the hardest time to engage in an off-election year," Greenlee said. "But it's also the best time to do a lot of party building, and that is what he will do here."

As the KU swim team prepares to contend for the Big 12 title later this month, coach Clark Campbell is still upset about Student Senate's decision not to build a new aquatic center on campus.
Although Student Senate wanted to fund a new pool, it decided to build new courts at the Student Recreation Fitness Center instead. Building a new

Campbell said a new swimming facility would be a benefit to the entire University and could help achieve Chancellor Robert Hemenway's goal of becoming a top-25 university. The facility would also help his swimming team recruit and train to be a conference champion, he said.

KU Greens withers away
Group representing national Green Party loses members
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After four years of political activism, the KU Greens is fading.
The Greens, a student organization that promoted the national Green Party, no longer meets regularly, said Sara Zafar, the group's chairwoman.
KEY VALUES
The group has helped establish fairtrade coffee sales on campus, hosted an anti-sweatshop fashion show and lobbied for a moratorium on the death penalty.
permanently Membership has dropped from about 25 students two years ago to about six people now.
Decreased membership is partly due to several of the founding members graduating. Laura Adams, Topea senior, said.
The remaining members do not have the time or resources to organize collective projects anymore, Zafar, Wichita senior and Kansan columnist, said.
"It's depressing." Zafar said. "We were so active and did a lot of work, but there aren't any clear ideas on what to do next."
Another reason for the Greens' dispersion is the lack of a well-defined national Green Party, said Galen Turner, Lawrence master's student and a founder of the KU Greens.
The 11 key values of the KU Greans are:
1. Grassroots democracy
2. Social justice and equal opportunity
3. Ecological wisdom
4. Non-violence
5. Decentralization
6. Community-based economics and economic justice
7. Feminism and gender equity
8. Respect for diversity
9. Personal and global responsibility
10. Future focus and sustainability
11. Quality of life
Source: KU Greens
"The national Greens failed to create a real movement," Turner said. "We were successful in what we did, but wanted to connect it to a bigger picture. That picture failed to develop."
Without a single focus issue like an election, people also divided into different interest groups, said Aaron Paden, another founder of the group.
"The Greens got us to all work together and inspired us to do our own projects on things we were more interested in." Adams said.
Even though the Greens no longer meet regularly, former members are still active, Adams said. She said members had dispersed to work independently instead of in the group.
Paden's time with the Greens was similar.
"The experience turned us all into die-hard citizens," he said.
Paden, Turner and another student formed the KU Greens in August 2000 after working on a petition to put Ralph Nader on the Kansas ballot.
Nader appeared on the Kansas ballot as an independent candidate in 2000.
The Greens continued to promote the idea of a third national party after the election, Paden said. Turner said he was upset the Greens were no longer active. The Greens didn't actively campaign in the 2004 election.
That hasn't stopped the old members from promoting political issues, he said.
Other political interests include a program to ensure the diversity of crop seeds, ecologically sustainable student housing and CLAS tuition increases.
"For a while the KU Greens group was the best method to do this," Turner said. "But due to changing political climates and changing lives the KU Greens are no longer the best avenue."

Minorities improve skills at conference
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA egarcia@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
About 30 students from the KU Black Student Union attended the 28th annual Big 12 Minority Leadership Conference held at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The three-day conference, which is held at the beginning of every year, provides African-American students with workshops, speakers and social events that try to provide students with skills they will need in the future. The conference also included a gospel and step shows. Alicia McDougal, Lenexa senior and president of the KU Black Student Union, took advantage of many of the leadership workshops.

"My goal was to improve my leadership skills," she said. She also attended the leadership workshops with the officers of the organization. "Whatever they bring back will improve our organization as a whole."

Some of the speakers who came to the conference included Tricia Rose, professor of American studies at the University of California, Toni Blackman, a poet, and Amon Rashidi, founder of Project Jams, a youth development organization.
Rona Remmie, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, attended the conference as a delegate and as vice president of the Black Student Union. Remmie focused on the

educational aspects of the conference
She wanted to bring back these ideas and to educate the campus about African-American culture and issues. Students used the conference as an opportunity to get together and discuss the issues that concern them the most at their schools. Some of the issues discussed were minority relationships in predominately white schools and problems of minority retention. McDougal stressed the importance of new students attending the conference.
"I think it's really important to meet leaders from different schools," she said. "It's important for people to network."
Security needs 'cooperation'
CAIRO, Egypt — Al-Jazeera television aired a videotape yesterday airpeting to show Al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri denouncing U.S. calls for reform in the region and urging the West to respect the Islamic world.
Al-Zawahri, who appeared sitting on the ground and in front of a brown background, said the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "explains the truth about reforms and democracy that America alleges it wants to impose in our countries."
Edited by Austin Caster
"Reform is based on American detention camps like Bagram, Kandahar, Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, it will be based on cluster bombs and imposition of people like Karzai and Allawi," he said, referring to Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Interim Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
"Real security is based on mutual cooperation with the Islamic nation on the basis of mutual respect and the stopping of aggression."
Al-Jazeera reported that the excerpt was part of a longer videotape.

Edwards mum on presidential plans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH, N.C. — Former vice presidential candidate John Edwards will not talk about White House plans in 2008. He is not pledging to stand aside if running mate John Kerry tries again, however.
Edwards said in an interview aired yesterday on ABC's "This Week" that he and Kerry have talked often since they lost in November to President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
He would not say if he would follow the example set by Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who Al Gore chose as the Democratic candidate for vice president in 2000.
Lieberman said he would not run in 2004 if Gore wanted to seek the presidency again. Gore did not, and Lieberman campaigned for the Democratic nomination.
"Not only are John Kerry and I friends, our families are close," Edwards said. "I have enormous respect for him. But I'll decide what's the right thing to do based on what's going on with my own family."
Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina, said his wife, Elizabeth, is doing well in her fight against breast cancer. He said he doesn't feel that God is testing him with his wife's disease or the death of their son, Wade, in a 1996 traffic accident.
"I think that this is just part of what you deal with in life. And the question is not how many times you get knocked down; the question is how many times you get up and come back fighting," he said.
Edwards said while his faith seeps into every part of his life, he is reluctant to make it part of campaigning.
"I think it looks political. It looks like you're just moving around for politics' sake," he said.
He applauded Iraqis for braving terrorist threats and voting for a national assembly last month, but said Bush administration policies have had a mixed effect in the Middle East.
"There are some things that
are happening that are positive, and there are some things that are happening that are not positive. I mean, there is an entire generation of people growing up in the Muslim world who are faced with poverty and despair. And they're blaming us. I mean, we are a natural target. And George Bush has helped make us a natural target," Edwards said.
Rather than allow Americans to create private accounts with part of their Social Security contributions, as Bush proposes, Edwards said he would roll back tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent of households and put that money into the Social Security system.

ON THE RECORD
Salma Alamgir (far right) asks Joitree, 5, and Azmain, 8, what they know about Mother Language Day and when they last visited Bangladesh. Jojitree and Azmain, along with a handful of other children, answered these questions yesterday at the Eucumenical Christian Ministries. Salma's husband, Alamgir Hossain, adviser to the KU Bangladesh Student Association, helped them organize the event to celebrate International Mother Language Day along with the Bangladesh Association of Kansas City. International Mother Language Day is the most important day to the Bangladeshi people because it symbolizes the sacrifices they made to save their mother language of Bangla.

STATE
Counties failed to report meth labs
TOPEKA — Nearly one-third of Kansas counties failed to report the number of meth busts in their communities last year, making the state appear to have fewer labs and possibly affecting federal funding to combat the problem.
Kansas, a perennial fixture among states with the most methamphetamine laboratory seizures, reported 583 busts last year, 11th most in the nation. It's the first time in a decade Kansas hasn't been among the top 10.
But Kansas doesn't require law enforcement agencies to report meth lab seizures, so the state's numbers are based on incomplete data. The Hutchinson News checked with several of the Kansas counties that didn't report meth lab busta and discovered numerous uncounted seizures enough to put Kansas back in the top 10.
Much of the federal grant money used in the battle against meth labs is tied to successfully finding and stopping meth production. A 2001 Legislative Post Audit suggested law enforcement's failure to report meth labs could be costing the state federal funds.

Bush to urge allies to unite for peace
BRUSSELS, Belgium — President Bush sought to repair rocky relations with Europe yesterday, saying "no power on earth will ever divide us." He urged allies to move beyond differences over Iraq in the interest of Mideast peace.
"As past debates fade and great duties become clear, let us begin a new era of trans-Atlantic unity," Bush will say in a speech today. Appealing for aid for Iraq, he urges the world's democracies "to give tangible political, economic and security assistance to the world's newest democracy."
Excerpts of his address were released on his arrival here.
released on his usual host
Hoping to set a more conciliatory tone for his second term, Bush will meet over five days with some of his toughest critics: French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, both of whom fiercely opposed the U.S.-led invasion.
Bush also will see Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has alarmed the West with Moscow's retreat from democracy.
Today's speech, the main address of his trip, is a conciliatory message aimed at citizens across Europe, where Bush is widely disliked.
Clinton, Bush continue aid efforts
Presidents visit Indonesia to offer support BY CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton visited Indonesia's tsunami-ravaaged Aceh province yesterday, flying over a vast wasteland of destruction, the likes of which Bush said he'd never seen.
The two former presidents, who are leading private U.S. tsunami aid efforts, met with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono after arriving from Thailand, where they got their first look at the devastation and grief unleashed by the Dec. 26 disaster.
Yudhoyono said he "conveyed to them the gratitude of the Indonesian people for all these donations contributed by friendly nations, by their people, and by their NGOs (nongovernment organizations)."
Bush and Clinton said they came away reassured that Indonesia would channel aid funds in a transparent, effective way.
"Nothing turns private donors off more than if they saw waste, or fraud, or something like that," Bush said. "But we don't anticipate that. We're very reassured by what the president said, that it's essential that not only our observers and our NGOs, that the Indonesians go forward with us and with other donor nations to be sure that it's delivered most effectively, less overhead and certainly no corruption."
The Associated Press
The village had 6,500 inhabitants before the disaster. Only 700 remain.
Bush and Clinton flew in U.S. military helicopters from the provincial capital Banda Aceh over a barren, desert-like landscape that was once a patchwork of rice paddies, to the village of Lampuuk, where the sole structure left standing is a large white mosque.
"I've never seen anything like this in my entire life. Ever," Bush said.
He told local villagers who greeted them that, "You're going to be OK. A lot of people around the world want to help."
Clinton asked a villager, Akhi Sukir, what the survivors needed most. "They need everything." Sukir replied.
"It's almost impossible to
appreciate the scope of this if you haven't physically seen it." Clinton said, adding it would take three to five years to complete the reconstruction effort.
Rahmayadi, who goes by one name, is among thousands of survivors left homeless by the disaster. He said his house in Lampuuk "was around this neighborhood and now it's flattened."
JOHN L. HOLMER
"My children and wife died and I didn't get their bodies, so now it's only me and two sons," said the 53-year-old Rahmayadi, who shook hands with Clinton. "All we ask for now is shelter because we can't live in tents forever. I will keep being patient until someone helps me."

Bush and Clinton later flew on to the USS Fort McHenry, a vessel ferrying supplies, rice, water and clothing to shore.
Former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton waves to journalists as George H.W. Bush looks on before leaving for Aceh province at Polonia Airport in Medan, Indonesia, yesterday.
The United States deployed a carrier battle group and about 20 helicopters for relief operations off Aceh's western coast — its biggest military operation in Southeast Asia since the Vietnam War. Washington has pledged $950 million for relief efforts for tsunami-hit countries.
Bush called on Indonesia to ensure that U.S. aid money was being well spent, said a U.S.
Yudhoyono said that transparency in distributing aid was important and that an anticorruption stance was an important part of his election campaign.
Indonesia is among the world's most corrupt countries, and local anti-corruption watchdogs are already alleging that officials have been siphon-

ASTRONOMY
Town proud of local who discovered Pluto
BY AMY BICKEL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BURDETT — It has been 75 years since a Kansas farm boy discovered Pluto, but in Clyde Tombaugh's hometown, locals haven't forgotten what the breakthrough meant to their rural Pawnee County community.
On the western edge of Burdett, population 250, a historical marker stands next to the water tower, telling of Tombaugh's discovery.
Amid crop and pasture land north of town is the family farmhouse with the cellar where he made his first telescopes.
And schoolchildren still learn about him, inspiring them to dream.
"I want to be the first girl president," said third-grader Jessie Alnor, who wrote about how the Burdett native has inspired her during class at the town's school, Pawnee Heights Elementary.
For classmate Allison Stejskal, "When I think about him discovering Pluto, then I think that I could be a good veterinarian."
On Feb. 18, 1930, Tombaugh, 24, found the icy ninth planet in the solar system, named after
the Greek god of the underworld. Attention began to focus on the self-taught amateur astronomer hailing from Kansas.
He didn't forget his hometown, however.
"Whether you realize it or not," Tombaugh told reporters at the historical marker dedication ceremony honoring him in town, "Burdett played a very important role in the discovery of Pluto."
Tombaugh was born in 1906 in Streator, Ill., moving with his family to a farm near Burdett in 1922. There, Tombaugh explored the heavens above western Kansas.
His first telescope, from Sears Roebuck and Co., was given to him by his father and uncle. He used it to look at objects in the skv that he read about.
Students at school, however, thought him a little odd, said niece Jeanne Plack, who grew up on the Tombaugh farm north of Burdett.
His peers made fun of his passion for gazing at the sky, even drawing pictures of Tombaugh's telescopes.
sue his dream.
tombaugh, however, studied harder. His parents, Plack's grandparents, Muron and Adella, pushed their son to pur-
"My grandparents really nurtured the success of their children," Plack said. "He always was very interested in astronomy, and when they saw how interested he was, they supported him."
He graduated from Burdett High School in 1925. Tombaugh's family was too poor to send him to college, and he began working on the farm — continuing to stargaze, Plack said.
Wanting a stronger instrument to look at the galaxy, Tombaugh created his own telescopes from hand-ground mirrors and discarded farm equipment.
He convinced his father he needed a cellar to provide the correct temperatures to grind mirrors for his homemade telescopes. And the farm needed a storm shelter. He dug the 8-foot-wide, 7-foot-deep and 24-foot-long cellar with a pick and shovel in the late 1920s, Plack said.
In 1928, Tombaugh completed a 9-inch telescope that allowed him to make meticulous sketches of Jupiter and Mars. Seeking advice from professionals, he sent the sketches to Lowell Observatory in
The observatory offered him a job.
"I was rather unnerved by it all, everybody was strangers, 1,000 miles from home, and not enough money in my wallet for a return ticket home."
Tombaugh's task at the observatory was to spend long hours taking photographs of the sky in search of the mysterious Planet X.
He discovered the planet and much more. Tombaugh photographed 65 percent of the sky and spent 7,000 hours examining 90 million star images. He discovered six star clusters, a cloud of galaxies, a comet and hundreds of asteroids among other finds.
The University of Kansas offered him a full scholarship after the Pluto find.
Eventually, he ended up at New Mexico State University, where he founded the astronomy research program, working there from 1955 to 1973. He continued lecturing after his retirement and gave
speeches to raise money for scholarship funds.
He might have missed Pluto if he had not been so attentive.
He once told a reporter, "Often, you experience hardships, like freezing in that cold dome at night, loss of sleep — and that gets pretty wicked. But I was interested in getting the results. It takes a dedication to achieve that kind of thing. A lot of people would give up and quit."
Back in Burdett, folks still recall meeting him during visits home and his good nature.
"We're pretty proud to have him," said Beverly Steffen, the town librarian.
Plack, who now lives in Minnesota, said she still recalls when he visited the farm, showing her how to operate her small telescope.
"He'd take time to map out things I could see," she said. "I always kind of knew that whatever I wanted to do I could do it."
Children in Burdett still feel that way, said Margaret Miller, the elementary school's third-grade teacher.
"They all know who he is," she said. "And some of them want to discover something or discover another planet."

The story of a sheltered girl who discovers evolution
ALEXANDRA SILVERMAN
Tucked snugly under her comforter, Birgit stared at her Dolph Lundgren poster that hung above her dresser and wondered how anything but God could have created such beauty.
DEVIN SIKES
dsikes@kansan.com
Bingit was a sensible girl: She never washed whites and darks together, brushed her
teeth at least three times a day and always put a little, but never too much, 1-percent milk in her coffee.
Having received the majority of her education in Germany, Birgit moved to America to pursue her graduate degree in biology during the late 1990s. Birgit lived in a modest apartment on the outskirts of Cambridge, Mass., home to Kendall Square Cinema, the Longfellow House, and her job, a professorship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Teaching Biology 101, Birgit nurtured the minds of incoming freshmen on topics such as cell anatomy, mitosis and meiosis, all of which complement the study of evolution.
Within the scientific method, Birgit endorsed the postulations of her idol, Charles Darwin, who argued that we shared common ancestry with apes.
However, sitting in the dark, basking in the glow of Mr. Lundgren's amazing physique, Birgit couldn't but feel there was an intelligent designer, an Aristotelian Prime Mover, responsible for such a beautiful and diverse population of species.
Meanwhile, young Sally Jane Tompkins slammed the door of her '87 Mustang against the cold winter wind. Unlike the mild winter mornings in her hometown of Marietta, Georgia, it was unseasonably brisk.
Sally Jane sat depressed and confused, covered in fuchsia earmuffs and her father's old camouflage hunting jacket.
The previous school day, Sally Jane's biology teacher, Ms. Birgit Fassbinder, gave a lecture on Darwin's theory of evolution. Perplexed, Sally Jane began to feel uneasy about the lessons that Sister Mary Margaret taught so persuasively in those black boots at each Sunday school sermon.
All of the sudden, her father's explanation of, "it wuz lahk God dang der turnd at dat der microwave, and we wuz one of dem dang ol TV dinners, and
Perhaps, Sally Jane thought, the heathens her Dad referred to as "Sand-Jawas" and "Dem egg roll eatin' fellers," weren't an better than her after all. For Sally Jane, nothing but the graceful figures of smoke from
poof! Der was life!" didn't seem plausible any longer.
the Marlboro Red 100s she smoked seemed to make any sense.
That night, full of confusion, Sally Jane called her father.
"But father," she said, "evolution is a synthesis of genetics and paleontology, and unifies so many other scientific disciplines."
Exasperated, Sally Jane continued, "An understanding of the history of our species can only be achieved through evolutionary research.
"Father, the creationist theory found within the Bible, or any religious text for that matter, has no scientific principles and I don't believe it should be juxtaposed with theories that contain scientific merit.
"Father, we have a right to believe in the teachings of our text, but it must be done with those who come to learn it at our church. Forcing an issue that lacks scientific value on individuals does not improve the quality of education on any level." The long pause of silence was followed by a dial tone, and Sally Jane knew she was on her own.
Later that week, Birgit was walking to her car after a long day of lectures, research and conferences. The sun was setting over the horizon and a red glow engulfed the grass and trees.
▼ GUEST COMMENTARY
As Birgit came into view, Sally Jane called out her professor's name and began to pour out all her emotions. Birgit listened attentively and told Sally Jane to follow her. Once at her apartment, Birgit sat Sally Jane beneath Dolph Lundgren's poster. In silence, staring at the poster, Sally Jane realized that perhaps her God did fit into the equation after all.
With only the sounds of her shoes tapping the concrete, Birgit heard sobs whispering in the breeze. Around the corner sat Sally Jane, still confused on how to resolve the paradox she felt inside.

Liberals fear Coulter's appearance on campus
I love the University of Kansas but I am as shocked to read a column attacking Ann Coulter as Hillary Clinton was to learn of her husband's repeated infidities.
Get the picture? I am a graduate of the Peoples' Republic of Kansas — The University of Kansas — and over the years have become increasingly numb to the incessant whining from liberals who have found a home on the University's campus.
But it has proven to be insufficient. Lo and behold I am amazed at the effectiveness of the blinders liberals wear.
In the wake of Hamilton College cancelling Ward Churchill's insipid speech due to a massive movement by Americans, another liberal has found the time to beleaguer another intellectual conservative.
Guest columnist Ray Pence has defended him in on the real threat to America: Ann Coulter's words.
"In the current atmosphere of... terrorism, Coulter's comment is truly dangerous," Pence wrote.
When Pence is finished confusing sarcasm with earnestness and accusing Coulter of trying to silence her opponents, I encourage him to appreciate the irony of him trying to hoodwink Vickers into silencing Ann.
Dangerous to whom Ray? Us? Should we be on orange alert because Ann Coulter is coming to Lawrence? Did Ann's words decapitate Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl? "Evacuate the building! Ann Coulter's comment has hijacked a plane."
"Unfortunately and inexplicably, those who choose lecturers
ANDREW FRAY
opinion@kansan.com
"for the Vickers series have demeaned its 36-year tradition," Pence said.
What is unfortunate is that many in academia think the column Pence wrote is enlightened.
It is also unfortunate that Pence will probably never apologize to the respected people at Vickers for questioning their scruples and insulting them on their fine choice for this year's speaker.
But what about it is inexplicable? Is it inexplicable because even learned people fail to grasp the inferences of Coulter's speech and jump at the chance to somehow prove that people eager to defend America from blood-thirsty barbarians are racist?
I'll bet it's inexplicable because Pence simply never asked those who choose lecturers for the Vickers series. I know liberals often cringe when people quote scripture but 'seek and we shall find.'
John Walker Lindh, the American who defected and aided the Taliban, should be executed. As expected, the only people who have come to his defense, besides the aforementioned barbarians of course, are liberals. So one might see how jumping liberais and terrorists together is not so far-fetched.
It's just that liberals are acutely unaware of how their actions
and words indirectly encourage those who hate America.
I know it's not intentional Michael Moore didn't intend to sour voters by slandering our President, but he did.
To execute Lindh is not to rattle our sabers at liberals and say "You're next unless you act like us." It is a reminder to liberals of their own mortality and that taking for granted their perceived safety from terror is unwise.
Appeasing terrorist groups by trying to understand their rhetoric is not the key to a safer America.Coulter does not want to silence her opponents. If liberals stopped making fools of themselves she would have less about which to write.
As for calling on Ann to stop speaking on behalf of conservatives, it won't happen because people like what she has to say. Hence the TV appearances and all those bestsellers. Like many of the newly unemployed Democrats, Ted Hall will die his own political death and, if such a death can be caused by heart attack, so will Michael Moore.
Interestingly, toward the end of Pence's column he switched from making sweeping generalizations to accusing Coulter of making sweeping generalizations.
With the amount of research he has done he could authenticate documents for Dan Rather at CBS. I hear he needs a producer.
God bless America. Or as secular liberals like to say: [silence].
See you all at the Lied Center.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Both campus political organizations team up to bring alcohol sales to Union
Before 1997 students were able to purchase alcohol in the Jaybowl at the Kansas Union. In 1997 students lost that ability, with little reasonable explanation as to why. Shortly thereafter Delta Force established the Alcohol Task Force and began communicating with the Memorial Union Corporation and University administrators to once again enable the Jaybowl to serve alcoholic beverages.
Among the benefits of alcohol sales are an expanded revenue source for the Memorial Union, which translates into better services for students.
More importantly though is the increase in student safety it provides. The Kansas Union's central location will encourage students seeking a cold beer to walk there instead of driving downtown, which almost inevitably leads to drunk driving.
Moreover, the Union is serviced by KU on Wheels and functions as the dispatch center for SafeRide vehicles. So, if at any point a patron becomes to intoxicated to drive they have the added alternatives of SafeRide and KU on Wheels.
Recently, members of KUnited have introduced a petition in Student Senate to begin exploring the possibility of alcohol sales returning to the Jaybowl. While past KUnited administrations have stonewalled our efforts, we are glad to see that the current KUnited administration has come around on this particular issue. Delta Force looks forward to jointly pursuing this issue with KUnited in the months to come.

also creates problems for those students who are not freshmen and wish to remain on campus.
In the past, when all the halls were in full operation, about 500 housing contracts were distributed to upper-classmen. This year, the estimated 350 contracts will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
"I wanted to get my spot so I got my card in early." Kautz said. "When I got there at 7:45 on Monday morning, there were already people who turned in their cards, and I beat a bus full people who were planning to turn in their ITR cards, too."
This has caused quite a rush for some students who are eager to get their spot in a residence hall or on-campus apartment.
Genie Kautz, Leawood junior and resident of Ellsworth Hall, made sure that her intent to return card was turned in on Jan. 24 — the first day they were accepted.
Another student housing change made this year was the elimination of the "squatter rule." Under this rule, students could remain in the same room if they submitted their intent to return cards before the last date they were due. Robertson said eliminating the rule had nothing to do with Husshinger's renovations.
In the past, when all the halls were in full operation, about 500 housing contracts were distributed to upper-classmen. This year, the estimated 350 contracts will be distributed on a firstcome, first-serve basis.
"It seemed to be unfair to those who were OK with taking an assigned room even though it wasn't their first choice," Robertson said.
Robertson and the Department of Student Housing are working to meet the needs of every student, freshman or returnee for housing next year.
"I wish we could have everyone on campus that wanted to be," Robertson said. "Do I think we can? Not next year. No."

Iowa State did.
Senior All-American candidate Wayne Simien just seven shots from the field on Saturday, only three in the second half and overtime periods. Meanwhile, Iowa State guard Curtis Stinson, who contributed 29 points, shouldered the load for the Cyclones in the second half and hit the game-winning shot with 5 seconds left in overtime.
Kansas' inability to get the ball to Simien was a costly difference in Saturday's game. That, and the fact that the Jayhawks failed to compensate for their lack of inside production with outside shooting, doomed the team. The Jayhawks were a dismal 4 of 25 from behind the arc and shot just 34 percent from the field.
"I think they did a good job of keeping the ball from Wayne, but I thought we did a miserable job of getting him the ball," Self said.
Miserable was the word Self used to describe everything the Jayhawks did on Saturday. The 2-3 Iowa State zone and full court press never allowed Kansas to get an offensive rhythm. It sped up the pace of the game, forced the Jayhawks into mental errors and took their focus from getting the ball to their All-American candidate.
The Jayhawks are now on their way to Norman, Okla., to face the Oklahoma Sooners at 8 tonight. To hang with the Sooners, the Jayhawks are going to have to do a much better job executing offensively than they did on Saturday.
"Collectively it is about as poor as you can play offensively and about as poor as we can execute and a large part of that is me," Self said. "So I think we have to look at that and improve from it, but we can't dwell on it because if we do we won't play well on Monday."
Tonight's match-up is also magnified because a Kansas loss would not only move the layhawks behind Oklahoma
State in the Big 12, but it would tie them with Texas Tech. But because Tech beat Kansas last Monday, Kansas would take third because Tech owns the tiebreaker.
"We said last week our season is just starting," Self said. "And we got off to a crap start. But it certainly won't get any easier on Monday."
Saturday's performance didn't help the Jayhawks confidence going into one of their toughest conference road games of the season.
Senior guard Aaron Miles dribbles down the court during the second half of the game against Iowa State Saturday.

Kansas did rattle off a 12-3 run in the final two minutes of regulation that helped them erase a nine point deficit. With 5 seconds left, it also sent the game into overtime on a Langford drive through the lane, tying the score at 56.

But in overtime, it was all Stinson, all the time. Junior guard Jeff Hawkins hit a three-pointer in the opening seconds of the extra period, giving Kansas a 59-56 lead.
A minute and a half and two Simien free throws later, the Jayhawks were still on top 61-60. But they were also done scoring.
Langford missed two critical free throws with 25 seconds left in the game with the score tied at 61.
Stinson scored all seven Iowa State points in overtime, including the game-winner with five seconds left in the game.
"We had no answer for Curtis Stinson today," Self said. "None."
Kansas, now 10-2 in the conference, knows that the team let an important game get away.
The Jayhawks, who practiced yesterday, said the most important thing was to stay focused and positive. Langford said they

could learn from their "miserable" performance, but it was more important for the players to put it behind them.
"We messed up, but it's done now," Langford said. "Now everyone can go and complain, and talk about how bad Kansas is, and write your little complaints on the Internet and all that junk. We are by no means out of it. We still control our own destiny."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: 67-53
Burras shucks 'Huskers
Aquanita Burras scores 10 points shuts down Nebraska's top scorer
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Coming into the game, senior guard Aquanita Burras promised that she would be out for blood against Nebraska.
After 40 minutes of basketball yesterday, it was pretty obvious that Burras and the Jayhawks had bloodied the Cornhuskers with a blue-collar thumping.
As Kansas out-hustled, out-rebounded and out-played Nebraska, the rest fell into place for a 67-53 victory.
"We got out-hustled today," Nebraska coach Connie Yori said. "I really felt like they were the aggressors."
Kansas saw it the same way, with a dominant performance in effort and on the scoreboard.
"We emphasize it all of the time that we need to be the team that goes out there and set the tone," junior guard Kaylee Brown said. "We need the other team to match our tone and they were unable to do that today."
With Burras on defense and junior guard Eric Arena Hallman's career-high 22 points, the Jayhawks, 12-12 (5-8 Big 12), had leaders on both ends of the

fire and stayed hot the whole day."

floor and the success was contagious.
Junior guard
And the energy that was lacking in the previous defeat to Texas Tech proved crucial to the effort against Nebraska and helped Kansas dominate and shut down the Nebraska offense. The Cornhuskers, 16-9 (8-5 Big 12), arrived in Lawrence averaging 70.9 points per game.
"When you see someone dive on the floor, that brings out a lot of excitement." Burras said.
Burras shut down sophomore guard Kiera Hardy, Nebraska's leading scorer, and dictated the flow of the Cornhusker offense.
"Aquanita was fantastic on Hardy," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She stepped up and guarded her tougher and the rest of the team rotated when they needed to."

For more on this game, see the story on page 3B
The 5-foot-6 Hardy usually produces 19.5 points each game but was limited to only 13 on 5-13 shooting from the field. Hardy had only five points at halftime.
"When you get their leading scoorer frustrated, the team starts to get frustrated." Burras said.
No Cornhusker scored in double figures except Hardy.
For the Jayhawks, Hallman led a balanced attack that saw four players in double figures. Brown scored 14, junior forward Crystal Kemp added 11 and Burras recorded 10 in the victory.
To open the game, Hallman scored the team's first eight points with a midrange jumper and two three-point baskets. She remained hot for the duration of the game, finishing with 22 and connecting on 8-of-16 shot attempts, including 5-for-10 from three-point range.
"We came out on fire and stayed hot the whole day." Hallman said.
Good passing in fast-break situations also gave Hallman five first-half assists, jumpstarting the offense and giving the shooters the confidence to take shots.

'New season' for Kansas
Self challenges team to begin again as difficult part of season approaches
BY KELLIE ROBINETT
hrobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Kansas is now tied with Oklahoma State atop the Big 12 Conference standings after losing back-to-back overtime games.
The Jayhawks will be in a battle with the Cowboys for the conference championship but Kansas coach Bill Self knows that the most important thing is the "Big Monday" match-up with the Oklahoma Sooners at 8 p.m. tonight in Norman, Okla.
"We shouldn't even be thinking about the league race," Self said. "We should be thinking about playing better at Oklahoma."
After defeating the Colorado Buffaloes at home last Saturday, Self said his team would be starting a new season because the most difficult stretch of the year was coming up.
Kansas has gone 0-2 since then, and Self is not impressed with his team's performance.
"Our new season is off to a crap start." he said.
The Jayhawks will look to rebound from their recent setbacks against a Sooner team that won its last game in a dramatic fashion.
Trailing Kansas State by one point late in the game, at Bramlage
"They're a dangerous team," sophomore guard J.R. Giddens said. "The freshmen and sophomore guards that they have are very good and talented. They can shoot and have an inside presence."
Conseum, sophomore guard Drew Lavender drove the length of the court and hit an improbable lay up to give Oklahoma a one-point victory as time expired.
Oklahoma's inside play comes mainly from junior forward Kevin Bookout. He missed most of last season, suffering from a shoulder injury. His return has been key in Oklahoma's turnaround.
Bookout averages more than 12 points a game, and plays physical basketball at all times. At 6-foot-8 and 259 pounds he uses his heft to fight for rebounds and block shots.
Junior forward Taj Gray is also having a good year. He averages 15.3 points a game and also pulls down 8.4 rebounds a contest.
The Sooners (19-6, 8-4 Big 12) are especially tough at home. They have lost only one game in Lloyd Noble Center all year and defeated Kansas 77-70 when the team last traveled to Norman, Okla.

Stinson too fast for'Hawks
BY KELLIIS ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SWITTERWIFI
Curtis Stinson didn't start for Iowa State on Saturday, but he certainly finished.
Late in overtime, he drove to the basket, picked up his dribble and hit a fade-away 12-foot jumper with 5.3 seconds remaining, propelling the Cyclones to a two-point victory against the Jawhaws.
On the following play senior guard Keith Langford put up a desperation three-pointer, but his shot clanked off the rim. Stinson, along with the rest of his teammates, ran to mid-court and began celebrating the team's biggest victory of the season.
"When I shot it I knew it was going in," Stinson, sophomore guard, said. "I came down and Aaron Miles bit on a crossover, and I was able to set in the lane and make the shot."
The game-winning shot brought Stinson's overtime point total to seven.
"Regular season, it probably is the biggest win of my career," Morgan said. "Beating a team like Kansas at Kansas. I'm just really proud of our kids."
Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan echoed Stinson's statement.
"No. 2 team in the country in their home," he said. "It doesn't get any better than that."
Before Stinson made his game-clinching shot, he told Morgan not to take a timeout.
"He maybe made the biggest shot of the year," Morgan said. "He never had any doubt. He said I've got the next one and I said, 'Do you have it?' He said, 'Don't take the timeout, just let me take it.'"
"He was great. We had no answer for Curtis Stinson."

The victory legitimized Iowa State's seven-game conference winning streak, which began on Jan. 29 with a victory against Oklahoma.
Sure, ISU also defeated the Texas Longhorns in Austin, Texas and the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Lubbock, Texas, along the way, but neither of those victories made the national scene.
The victory against the No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse proves that Iowa State is now a team to be reckoned with in the Big 12.

"It makes the statement that we're coming." Stinson said. "We're not asking for anyone to give us anything. We don't get much respect as it is. We can play with anyone in the country right now."
Steve Bartkoski/KANSAN
Stinson's game-winning shot was the exclamation point on his stellar performance. In 40 minutes, he scored a game high 29 points, pulled down seven rebounds and made four steals.
"It was really sore." Stinson said. "A few minutes into the game I got some treatment. Once I got into the game, my adrenaline got pumping and it didn't hurt anymore."
Not bad considering that he opened the game on the bench with a sore left middle finger.
He also owned the overtime period. After junior guard Jeff Hawkins opened the extra 5 minutes with a three-pointer, Stinson won the game for the Cyclones by scoring all seven of his team's points.
Kansas guarded Stinson with a rotation of guards, but none of them were able to slow him down.
"He was great," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We had no answer for Curtis Stinson."

It's time to give J.R. Giddens the red light.
Giddens needs time to improve his game
Giddens was 1-of-11 in Saturday's game. If he had made just one of those missed shots, the game would have been a completely different story. Giddens was 3-of-13 against Texas Tech a week ago, and after he hit his first two of three three-pointers early in the game, he went ice-cold.
Clearly he has lost the touch he had last season. In the last two games Giddens has been a liability, turning the ball over and missing wide-open shots.
While the past two games have been particularly bad for Giddens, this is part of an ongoing trend. He is shooting just above 35 percent from behind the arc. Last season he was stellar, leading the team in three-pointers made. Giddens drew unbelievable attention not just from fans, but also NBA scouts. A Washington Post article last summer quoted a scout who said Giddens would have been a lottery pick in last season's draft.
These days, the NBA draft is based on potential, not performance. Giddens certainly has plenty of that. Giddens has tried to add new dimensions to his game, such as establishing a dribble drive. That hasn't been very successful, however. He still struggles to get to the free-throw line and doesn't drive and draw fouls like someone his size, should. He has shot only 18 free throws this year.
Giddens still leads the team in three-pointers made, but his accuracy is of concern. Either he should play consistently like he did last season, or he should play fewer minutes. Everyone knows that on any night Giddens can go for 20 points, it's just that the poor games have seemed to outnumber the good ones this season.
Giddens brings great energy and enthusiasm to every game, but he is in a funk right now, and coach Bill Self needs to look at other options. Look how well Jeff Hawkins played on Saturday, scoring 2 of 3 for three-pointers. Afterwards, Self said he wished he had played Hawkins earlier. It could have been the difference in the game.

KSU loss: Microcosm of season
MANHATTAN — Oklahoma's last-second victory over Kansas State helped the 21st-ranked Sooners regain some momentum headed into the Big 12 Conference homestretch.
It also denied the Wildcats a chance — probably the best one they had — to do the same thing.
After Drew Lavender's buzzer-beating flip from the baseline gave Oklahoma a 69-86 victory against the Wildcats on Saturday, Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge called his team "an emotional wreck" and wouldn't let players talk to reporters.
"I didn't want them to crack like me," Wooldridge said. "It's a really disappointing loss. It's a game you've got to win."
Kansas State (13-10, 3-9 Big 12) blew a 13-point halftime lead but went up 68-67 when Clent Stewart stole an inbounds pass, was fouled and hit the second of two free throws with 4.5 seconds left.
But Lavender took the inbounds pass, raced the length of the court and put the ball up with just three-tenths of a second left. It bounced twice after the buzzer — then fell through to cap Lavender's 29-point day and snap a three-game road losing streak for Oklahoma (19-6, 8-4)
"It was a hell of a play by Drew, that's the story," Oklahoma coach Kelvin Vampson said. "I called time out and called Drew over and said, 'Drew, go coast to coast.'"
The challenge now, Lavender said, is for the Sooners not to need a last-second shot to win.
"This proves how good we could be if we would play a full 40 minutes," he said. "We played our best ball for only about 16 minutes — the last 16 minutes — today."
Kansas State's game, on the other hand, was a microcosm of its season — hot start, rough finish.
"It's hard to deal with because the guys really fought," Wooldridge said. "You could see the exhaustion. One play, just one more."
The Wildcats, who started the year 8-0 but are 5-10 since then, held Oklahoma scoreless on its first seven possessions and were up by 16 points a minute into the second half.

Jayhawks bat in big numbers
BASEBALL

mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas continued to post big offensive numbers Friday, sweeping a doubleheader with South Dakota State.
Kansas sweeps South Dakota State
The Jayhawks (10-3) won game one 15-2 behind junior right fielder A.J. Van Slyke's 3-4, three RBI performance. His three-run double in the first inning opened the scoring, and Kansas never looked back. Senior first baseman Andy Scholl buried the Jackrabbits (0-4) with his first home run of the season, a solo blast in the fourth inning that started a six-run streak.
That outburst gave senior pitcher Clint Schambach more than enough support. He took the victory, improving his record to 2-1.
Coach Ritch Price seemed to be trying out a new strategy during the series. Although Van Slyke started the bats going for the Jayhawks in Friday's game, he struggled at the plate before Thursday's game and coach Price elected not to start him. The same strategy worked for Scholl earlier in the series. He didn't start on Wednesday's game, but had a big game on Thursday.
"It's a strategy to let a player clear his mind and re-focus," Van Slyke said. "It seems to work."
Coach Price was glad to see Van Slyke get out of his slump.
"I was pleased to see his clutch hit in the first inning," coach Price said. "We need both he and Scholl to be successful."
Van Slyke did not arrive at Hogland Ballpark until game time. He had to attend a geography class and missed pre-game batting practice.
"I came out, put my cleats on and ran out to right field," Van Slyke said.
The Price brothers, junior shortstop Ritchie and freshman second baseman Ryne, walked in their first eight combined at-bats. The two certainly took notice of the strange start.
"We were kind of laughing about it," Ryne Price said. "It's pretty funny."
In game two, Kansas got solid pitching from senior starter Mike Zagurski on the way to a 14-1 rout. Zagurski (2-0, 2.89 ERA) went seven innings and allowed one run on four hits while striking out a career-high 11 batters.
MISCHIE
"I was efficient early." Zagurski said. "I threw a lot of first-pitch strikes and kept their batters off balance."
The bullpen also played well, with freshman Logan Murphy and junior Don Czryz closing out the game with two shutout innings. As a team, Kansas struck out 16 and walked only two.
A seven-run eighth inning was Kansas' biggest of the season and put the game out of reach. Ryne Price had a breakout game, going 3-4 with four RBI. His contribution, along with the other freshmen, will be vital to the team's success this season.
Ritchie Price, junior infielder, takes a rare swing at a pitch during the first game of Friday's doubleheader against South Dakota State. Price was 1-2 with a single and four walks during the 15-2 victory at Hoglund Ballpark.
Coach Price was happy with the progress that the freshmen made over the weekend.
Rylan Howe/KANSAN

The KU track and field team went to Norman, Okla., this weekend for the Sooner Invitational with the goal of fine tuning.
The Jayhawks have to prepare for next week's Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships, in Lincoln, Neb. At the invitational this weekend, Kansas competed with teams including Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Oral Roberts. Teammates Sheldon Battle and Gavin Ball clinched the first and second spots in the shot put, with Battle, a junior, throwing 62 feet, 8 inches, and Ball, a sophomore, throwing 55 feet, 7.5 inches. Battle ranks first in the shot put and second in the weight throw in the Big 12. He said that preparing for next weekend would take time, and that the talent pool at the championships would be tough to face.
"In the shot put I know it's going to be very intense," Battle said. "They want to win the title too."
Battle said consistency would be the most important element in throwing.
"You can't be up and down; you have to keep it at the same level," Battle said. "We're just working on executing what we've been doing at practice."
Donley reminded his team to compete in this meet with next week in mind
Horizontal jumps coach Milan
Other notable performances during the weekend included Charisse Bacchus' victory in the long jump with 19 feet, 9.75 inches. The junior finished more than a foot longer than the second place jumper. Brooklyn Hann and Crystal Manning finished No. 2 and No. 3 in the triple jump. Hann, a senior, finished with 41 feet, 0.6 inches. She holds the record at Kansas for the longest women's triple jump with 42 feet, 4.25 inches. Manning, a freshman, finished third with a jump of 40 feet, 4.75 inches. Charles Murphy, a sophomore, recorded his fastest time in the men's 200-meter dash. Murphy placed third in the event with a time of 22.21.
"The purpose of the meet was to work out any glitches that we have and prepare ourselves for the conference meet," Donley said.
Battle and coach Stanley Redwine said execution was a high priority for the conference championships.
"Hopefully they can build on those performances next weekend at the conference meet," he said.
"Execution will make the difference for us in the future." Redwine said.
He explained that competing during the weekend could give the jayhawks an edge, next week.

Jayhawks defeated, losing streak continues
Youth and inexperience were factors in the Kansas women's tennis (1-6 overall, 0-1 Big 12) defeat by Yale on Saturday, 4-3, in University Park. Pa.

The Jahawks are on a six-match losing strak.
"We played tough, but we are still young and we need more experience," coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
The Jayhawks managed to earn a victory in the doubles competition, as junior Christine Skoda and sophomore Ashley Filberth defeated Yale's Stephanie White and Olivia Nix, 8-6. The tandem of Skoda and Filberth has proven quite effective
— they have won their last three matches together.
But Yale proved too much the rest of the way. The Bulldogs won two of three matches in doubles over Kansas, highlighted by sophomores Christine Alford and Aimee Kim's victory against sophomore Brittany Brown and freshman Lauren Hommell.
Senior Reshmi Srinath and sophomore Rashmee Patil ousted junior Luiza Loureiro and Elizaveta Avdeeva, 8-4, to secure that doubles point for Yale.
Yale and Kansas split the matches in singles play, with Avdeevva registering her first victory of the season. Avdeevva began the year 0-5, but she eeded Rashmee Patil. 7-5, 3-6, 6-3.
Brittany Brown also earned a victory on Saturday, defeating Christine Aldford. 7-6 (5), 6-3.
Freshman Anna Jackson, a heavily recruited player, delivered a victory in her first action of the year. Jackson took out Olivia Nix, 6-2, 1-6, 1-0 (5).
The Yale Bulldogs have won four straight. On Friday, Kansas lost its match with Penn State, 4-3, also in University Park, Pa.
The Jayhawks were victorious in the doubles competition, having won two of three matches.
In singles, Christine Skoda snapped a five-match winless streak singles by knocking off Penn State's Sarah Spence, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Freshman Lauren Hommell tallied the only other victory of the afternoon, getting past Katelyn BeVard- 7.5, 2.6, 6.4.
Penn State played flawlessly and downed the remaining competition in straight sets. The Nittany Lions' Maria Husain, Sasha Abraham, Andreea Niculescu and Jenny Schular all posted wins.
Hall-Holt said that her team must continue to play at a high level, regardless of the outcome.
"We have to keep our level of competition up and build on every match." Hall-Holt said.
The Jayhawks will take on the University of Utah next Sunday in Topeka. The match will be held at the Wood Valley Racquet Club, at 2 p.m.

Hallman becomes the difference

Junior guard scores 22 points a career high

Erica Hallman held her form and posed for the crowd after she hit a deep three-pointer right in front of the Kansas bench late in the second half of yesterday's victory.
It was that kind of afternoon for Hallman, junior guard, and for the Jawhaws.
With that shot Hallman set a new career high with a gamehigh 22 points. She was five-of-10 from behind the three-point line and hit her first two threepointers.
Hallman scored the Jayhawks' first eight points and 10 of their first 14.
Afterward coach Bonnie Henrickson said that Hallman may be the team's most improved player.
"She has been a difference-maker for us," Henrickson said. "Arguably, she has shown the most improvement since we've gotten here."
Not only was Hallman hitting big shots, she was also making big passes. She finished with six assists, moving within 21 assists of Tamecka Dixon for 5th place on the Kansas all-time assist list.
Junior guard Erica Hallman shoots over Nebraska freshman forward Sarah White during the second half. Hallman led all scorers with 22 points off of 8-16 shooting, including 5-10 from three-point land. The Jayhawks won 67-53 yesterday in Allen Fieldhouse.
In one stretch she led two consecutive fast breaks, both ending up in lay-ups.
"Both times they took off
running and were open," Hallman said. "I found them and they finished the play."
Henrickson said that Hallman's play carries over into other aspects of her game. She gains confidence from getting assists, which helps her add to her point total, she said.
"She feels good about herself when she gets into transition and makes nice passes," Henrickson said. "I think that plays over to her shooting, because she feels like she is doing the right thing. That makes her a more comfortable shooter."
Basketball Notes:
In Wednesday night's defeat to No. 15 Texas Tech, Henrickson said the team lacked energy. Members of the opposing team seemed to notice that this was not the case yesterday.
"This was the first game this year, that we were out-hustled," Nebraska coach Connie Yori said. "I thought that was the biggest factor in the game and they were the aggressors in that area."
Players were diving on the floor for loose balls and doing whatever it took to get the victory.
The Jayhawks brought in 17 offensive rebounds.
The increased energy on the defensive end was credited to two good days of practice in preparation for yesterday's game.
"Every coach in America will tell you that you play like you
practice," Henrickson said.
The players agreed that the good practices were the key to the good performance in the game,
there," Hallman said. "It started with practice on Friday. We had a lot of energy in practice, and it carried over to the game."
"We had a lot of energy out
Senior guard Aquanita Burras
may have noticed the energy increase the most.
Afterward she showed the media two floor burns, which she received while diving on the floor for loose balls.
"When you see your teammates diving on the floor, it pumps you up." Burras said. "It raises the intensity level because everyone wants to do their part."
Kansas will try to beat a ranked opponent for the first time in 34 opportunities on Wednesday. Seventh-ranked Baylor will travel to Allen Fieldhouse for Kansas' Senior Night. They have not knocked off a ranked opponent since defeating No. 6 Iowa State, 69-61, at Allen Fieldhouse on Feb. 17, 2001
Baylor's inside tandem of Steffanie Blackmon and Sophia Young is regarded as one of the best inside duos in the country. Both Baylor women are on the 20-member John Wooden Award midseason list. Baylor is one of only two teams in the country to have two players on the list. Both players are averaging at least 16.3 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.
"It's going to be a big game," junior guard Kaylee Brown said. "We just need to come out there and play hard, and hopefully we can get a win."
"They are arguably the best post tandem in the country," Henrickson said. "We're going to have to be smart with how we play both offensively and defensively."

Giddens
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Self needs to make a change at the small forward position. The answer may not be Jeff Hawkins; Alex Galindo could also be a good replacement. The point is that this team needs a reliable scorer at small forward. Give Giddens some time to work through his performance problems and maybe he will be able to regain his starting position. Self recognized the need for someone to become a reliable player on Saturday.
"We need to have somebody with the guts to step up and make a play." Self said after the game. "jeff had the guts to do that and he made two huge shots for us."
When good shooters put up a shot, they are not thinking about their previous misses. They don't let it bother them. But there has to be a line.
Giddens' attempted three-pointer — late in the game, double-tailed, and after he'd struggled all day — was not a smart decision.
While Giddens' play was poor, it does not justify the treatment he received from fans in Allen Fieldhouse. When Self put in Giddens late in the game, a chorus of boos rained down, mainly from the student section. True Jayhawk fans don't boo Jayhawk players. Such behavior lacks class. Constructive criticism and angry questions are OK, but boos are never acceptable.
Giddens will get through this current struggle, but it will take time. Not starting, and allowing another player to step up, will help Giddens. More importantly though, it will help the team.

Burras
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"She feels good about herself when she gets into transition and makes nice passes," Henrickson said. "That makes her a more confident shooter."
Though the Jayhawks shot only 46 percent, they owned the offensive boards and produced second and third looks. Burras, Kemp and freshman forward Taylor McIntosh all brought down four offensive rebounds.
For the game, Kansas grabbed 17 offensive rebounds and held a 39-29 overall rebounding margin.
"They got physical inside on the offensive glass and that's what allowed them to offensive rebound." Yori said.
At the break the Jayhawks held a 30-24 lead. They did nothing to relinquish it coming out of the locker room.
The victory evened up Kansas' record for the season. The Jayhawks will now face three ranked opponents to close out the regular season. Henrickson said her team would not roll over though, and had incentive to bring its best for the final three games.
A healthy mix of perimeter shooting, points off turnovers and inside scoring stretched the lead from six to 22 at the 9:22 mark.
"Right now we are not playing for an NCAA Tournament or NIT invitation, but we still have something to play for," Henrickson said. "We have Colorado, Missouri and Texas A&M chasing us for a good seed in the Big 12 Tournament."
The season-ending gauntlet resumes at 7 p.m. Wednesday when Kansas faces No. 7-ranked Baylor.

James earns golf title and $240,000
NAPLES, Fla. — Former European Ryder Cup captain Mark James won his second Champions Tour title yesterday. He birdied the final two holes for a two-stroke victory over Hale Inwin and Tom Wargo in The ACE Group Classic.
James earned $240,000 in the $1.6 million event.
James closed with a 6-under 66 for a 13-under 203 total at The Club at TwinEagles. Wargo finished with a 66, and Irwin had a 68. Second-round leader Mike McCullough (71) tied for fourth at 10 under with Jerry Pate (68) and Mike Reid (68).
Curtis Strange, playing in his first event on the 50-and-over tour, shot a 74 to 49th at 3 over. He had a double bogey on No.18 after hitting into the water.
The 59-year-old Irwin, the tour's career victory leader with 41, eagled No.17 from 20 feet to get within a shot, but finished with a par on No.18.

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Reliever Scott Sullivan, who is still bothered by a bad back, was not in camp yesterday as the Kansas City Royals held their first spring training workout for pitchers and catchers.
Royals pitcher out for 10 more days
The right-hander went on the disabled list on Aug. 29 and did not pitch the remainder of the season because of a strained lower back.
"He felt tightness in the left side of his back about 10 days ago doing fielding workouts," Royals trainer Nick Swartz said yesterday.
Swartz said Sullivan is in Atlanta doing therapy and should arrive Thursday in Arizona and be available for on-the-field workouts on Friday. Swartz said how much Sullivan will be able to do once he joins the club is to be determined.
Sullivan, who will be the fifth highest paid Royal this year with a $2.6 million salary, went 3-4 with a 4.77 earned run average in 41 relief appearances in 2004, his first year with Kansas City.
The Royals, who lost an American League-worst 104 games last year, will hold their first full-squad practice Friday.

Wichita State loses 7th straight game
DES MOINES, Iowa — Linda Sayavongchah scored a career-high 23 points and ignited a late rally to lift the Drake women's basketball team past Wichita State 67-62 yesterday.
Sayavongchanh also grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds and scored seven of the Buldogs' final 11 points. Brandy Dahir scoreled 15 and Jill Martin added 13 points for Drake (11-12, 6-8 Missouri Valley).
The Shockers, who dropped their seventh straight game, were ahead 57-52 with 5:39 left to play when Niki Stephens connected on a reverse layup.
But Drake scored 15 of the game's final 20 points, with Sayavongchanh leading the way. She connected on nine of 15 from the field and 5-7 from the free throw line for the Bulldogs.

Kansas sweeps Oklahoma State
Last home game puts team streak at eight
BY JASON ELMQUIST

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The KU club hockey team extended the winning streak it started at the beginning of the spring semester.
After a two-game sweep of Oklahoma State last weekend, the hockey team brought the streak to eight and their overall record to 14-11.
The Jayhawks did not show any mercy to the visiting Cowboys, outscoring them 25-3
in two games. Kansas won the game on Saturday in a blowout, 17-2. Junior forward Steve Barbaro led the team with five goals, including the final three goals of the game. Junior forward David Knight, who leads the team in scoring for the season, and freshman forward Matthew Zellmer, both had three goals.
Yesterday, Kansas came out quick and scored the first five goals of the game. The only blemish on the stat line for the Jayhawks was when freshman goaltender Adam Paulitsch, who took over in net for sophomore Zach Sias after the first period, allowed a goal to get past him in the first 2 minutes of the final period. The one goal allowed came among 27 shots
Freshman forward Scott Haman led all scorers with two goals, including one unassisted. On his second goal, Haman put back a rebound off of a shot by freshman forward Dan Guilfoil, who also had a goal to go along with his assist.
by Oklahoma State. Kansas was able to get 40 shots on goal for the game and added three more goals in the final period.
"We were on a two on one and he took the original shot and I got the rebound and put it up top," Haman said.
A few seniors were also able to add some stats in what was scheduled to be their last home game at Kansas. There is still a possibility of playing Division I Oklahoma at home.
Most notably, senior forward David Hall scored a goal in the second period and assisted in the final goal of the game.
"It's good to finish off the year like that, especially my career here," Hall said. "I had my family out and some friends out, so it was nice to do that in front of them."
Both senior forward Alexander Brown and senior defender Kyle Wilson assisted in the first goal of the game. Senior forward Joseph Barhini scored an unassisted, short-handed goal in the second period.
The leadership of the seniors has begun to show on the play and attitude of the younger players.
"The seniors are awesome.
They have good leadership and make this game as fun as possible for us," Guilfoil said. "They're going out and giving it their all every shift and letting us know what to work on all the time."
The Jajahwacks are scheduled to finish their season against Missouri on March 5 and 6. Whether they win or lose both games in Columbia, Mo., the hockey team has done its part to join a league next year.
The team had to finish the season over .500, which it clinched with the victory yesterday. Now it will come down to a vote by the teams in the league whether or not to allow Kansas to join the league next year.

At the Hoosier Classic, the final tournament before sectionals, the KU men's bowling team didn't finish as well as it had in past tournaments.
The men's team, which had won four tournaments this year, struggled over the weekend and finished fourth at the Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis.
After the first day of bowling, the men were in 16th place and needed to jump into the top eight to compete in the baker match games.
Kansas was able to move into seventh after the three team games yesterday and faced off against Missouri Baptist in the first match game. In a best of five match-up, Kansas was able to beat Missouri Baptist three games to two, and advanced to play West Texas A&M.
The Jayhawks lost three games to two and finished fourth.
Coach Mike Fine attributed the finish to some bowlers being under the weather.
The team's top bowler, junior Rhino Page, finished with a 203 average, good enough for 15th overall.
Sophomore Zach Taylor had the second best average on the team with a 194 and said the team made a turn around on the second day of play.
Despite the finish, Fine is very optimistic about sectionals and nationals.
"We should be fine," Fine said, "We showed our youthful resilience, and I'm happy with the effort."
The women's bowling team ended a streak of its own at the Hoosier Classic. A 12th-place finish ended the team's run of top 10 finishes. The low finish also made them miss out on the
match games.
Senior Kelly Zapf led the women's team with a 179 average, followed by freshman Natalie Bennett with a 178.
Zapf said poor accuracy and spare shooting were factors in the 12th-place finish and cost them the opportunity to compete, and were things the team needed to work on.
"We have a month until sectionals, then another month until nationals so I'm going to be working hard with those being my last two tournaments," Zapf said.
"And I'm going to make sure the girls work as hard as I do, so we can end the season on a good note."
the bowling teams will play next on March 19 and 20 at the Intercollegiate Bowling Championship Sectional Qualifiers.

The game consists of two teams that try to score by forcing the ball by the other team's goalie and into the goal using plastic bats because the ball cannot be touched with your hands. If the ball crosses the front of of the goal it is worth one point, but if it crosses the back line of the goal it is worth two points. The first team to reach 10 points wins.

NASCAR race has furious finish
BY MIKE HARRIS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jeff Gordon grabbed the lead from Dale Earnhardt Jr., then held off Kurt Busch and Earnhardt in extra laps to win his third Daytona 500 yesterday.
One of the wildest finishes in the 47-year history of NASCAR's biggest race saw four lead changes in the last nine laps. Earnhardt, the defending champion, came from as far back as 30th to grab a late lead, only to watch four-time series champion Gordon pass him seconds before a caution flag waved with three laps to go.
The race went three laps beyond the scheduled 200-lap distance, with Gordon hanging on over two final laps of greenflag racing to beat Busch by two car-lengths.
He is the fifth driver to win three or more Daytona 500s, joining Richard Petty (7), Cale Yarborough (4) and Bobby Allison and Dale Jarrett (3).
😊
Tony Stewart dominated the race for a second straight year, leading 107 laps, and was well on the way to his first 500 win before a rash of late caution flags triggered the furious finish.
"Oh, my goodness, what an amazing day," a jubilant Gordon said. "Three, baby!"
"I was real, real happy," Earnhardt said. "I'm telling you, man, the car was way, way off. It was hard. It was amazing the difference between the car (at the end) and maybe 50 laps before then. I mean, it was really fast."
Earnhardt, who struggled with handling through most of the race and had not led a lap, suddenly dove to the outside, just in front of Gordon and charged past Stewart to grab the top spot on the 197th lap.
Fast enough to scare Gordon,
but not fast enough to beat him.
"Let's not say I gave up, but I thought it was over," Gordon said. "I mean, he hadn't been anywhere all day long and all the sudden he came out of nowhere."
Gordon finally pulled alongside Earnhardt and nosed ahead just moments before the 10th yellow flag of the race froze the
"Oh,my goodness, what an amazing day. Three, baby!"
Jeff Gordon Driver
field.
On the restart on lap 202, Busch, the defending Nextel Cup champion, drove his Ford past Earnhardt and bore down on Gordon.
Behind the three leaders, things got really wild, with three- and four-wide racing and cars banging and bumping off each other to the finish.
Scott Riggs wound up fourth, followed by Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin in his last Daytona 500 and the frustrated Stewart.
Unlike other races at Daytona since NASCAR began requiring the horsepower-sapping carburetor restrictor plates to slow the cars, most of the race was run with the field stretched out around the 21/2-mile banked oval.
The Monte Carlos of Stewart, Gordon and two-time Daytona winner Michael Waltrip. Earnhardt's teammate, led most of the laps and spent much of the day in single file.
But things began heating up on lap 183 when Greg Biffle and Riggs bumped in the middle of a pack and ignited a nine-car crash that sent Scott Wimmer barrel-rolling and then spinning several times on the nose of his car before landing on his wheels. Wimmer was not injured.
The race restarted on lap 188, but several cars banged together before even passing the flagstand, sparking an eight-car crash on the main straightaway.
NASCAR managed to get that mess cleared in time for a restart on lap 196, but there was yet another caution waving on lap 198 because of debris on the track.
In a nearly identical situation last spring at Talladega, a heavily partisan crowd angrily threw beer and soda cans and seat
points race in NASCAR history.
cushions onto the track after NASCAR said Gordon was ahead of Earnhardt when the caution came out near the end of the race. Gordon went on to win that race under caution.
"I didn't know what the week had in store for us," Gordon said. "I knew we had a good car. We hadn't shown everything. I knew over 500 miles, with that pit crew, that team, that hopefully some patience would pay off there at the end."
That reaction prompted new NASCAR chairman Brian France to change the rule and allow a two-lap, green-flag
sprint for the win when a caution comes out before the final scheduled lap.
The victory was the 70th for Gordon, who barely missed his fifth series title last year when he finished just 16 points behind Busch and eight behind Hendrick Motorsports teammate Johnson in the closest
Cardinals player overcomes injury
JUPITER, Fla. — Running may be restricted in the initial weeks of spring training for Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols. But Pujols had no plans to take it easy, despite a heel injury that hindered him much of last season.
"I'm going to go out and try to win a job," he said yesterday after reporting to the Cardinals spring training facility at Roger Dean Stadium.
Position players are due tomorrow but Pujols was early
Pujols, third in the National League MVP voting last year behind Barry Bonds and Adrian Beltre, suffers from chronic plantar fasciitis, a condition more commonly associated with long-distance running. Pujols is affected most when he runs the bases aggressively, though the injury didn't stop him from racking up impressive stats last year.
While leading the Cards to the National League title, Pujols batted .331 with 46 homes runs and 123 RBIs.

Cardinals' offense dominates Billikens
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Taquan Dean hit five 3-pointers for 15 points and No. 12 Louisville put together its best offensive performance in weeks, beating St. Louis 84-66 last night.
Larry O'Bannon scored 17,
Francisco Garcia added 13 and
Ellis Myles finished with 13
points and 18 rebounds for the
Cardinals (23-4, 11-2
Conference USA).
On a later Louisville's possession, Soderberg screamed at referee Curtis Shaw for not calling Myles for traveling. Garcia hit another 3-pointer, giving Louisville its first lead at 24-22, and Soderberg continued his rant, drawing a technical from Shaw.
Referee Steve Welmer then faced off with Soderberg, who was restrained by assistants. When Welmer walked away, Soderberg angrily punched the air and Shaw gave him another technical, ejecting him.
Garcia sank the four result-
ing free throws to give the
Cardinals a six-point edge.

INSIDENEWS
Fieldhouse won't see drastic change in addition
Allen Fieldhouse will soon have a $6 million addition, but it won't drasically change the exterior. The Athletics Department wants to have renovations completed before the 2005-2006 basketball season. Construction of the addition will begin at the conclusion of this year's basketball season, and will contain interactive exhibits. PAGE 2A
Discrimination leads to racial protest, changes
Racial tension at the University came to a head in 1990, when Ann Dean was verbally assaulted while delivering pizzas to Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Protests about this and other incidents led to the creation of a Multicultural Resource Center. Minority leaders on campus say we have come a long way since then. PAGE 2A
Resident hall false alarms are down
Daisy Hill residence halls have experienced a lower number of fire alarms this semester. McCollum Hall, in particular, had 28 fire alarms last semester and students at McCollum have only had to evacuate the building one time this semester. PAGE 3A
Online library program lingers under-appreciated
HawkHelp LIVE, a library program, is under-used at the University of Kansas. The program, which allows students to chat online with librarians, helps students with research or other library-specific questions. Other universities, like Kansas State and Emporia State, have joined the program this semester. PAGE 4A
New store could combine Tiger and Jayhawk gear
There will soon be a place when Jayhawks and Tigers can peacefully coexist The unions of the University of Missouri and the University of Kansas are entering a business partnership for a co-campus book and merchandise store. No official plans have been made, but the store's location will most likely be in Missouri near the Kansas border. PAGE 4A

Self savs seniors responsible for defeat
The Jayhawks lost their third Big 12 Conference game in a row last night in Norman, Okla. The team came home crushed after its 71-63 loss. The seniors were unable to gain momentum and handle Oklahoma's man-to-man defense. Coach Bill Self said the seniors had to "shoulder the responsibility" of the defeat. PAGE 1A AND CONTINUED ON 1B

Langford, where's your first-half game?

Kansas loses third straight game

Fieldhouse gains features
By ROSE FITCH

KANANS SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Allen Fieldhouse will soon have a new $6 million addition, but tradition will stay intact and its appearance won't drastically change.
IELDHOUSE ADDITION
Construction of the addition, which will be on the east side of the building, is scheduled to begin soon after the end of this year's basketball season, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs. Athletics Department officials want to have the building completed by the start of the 2005-2006 basketball season, he said.
People should be able to come to the fieldhouse for reasons other than just seeing a basketball game, Marchiony said.
Marchiony said. "With such a rich tradition, there should be a place to celebrate that," Marchiony said. "This gives a place to celebrate KU athletics."
celebrate RE building. The building will look like the fieldhouse does now, as it will share the same architectural design, he said.
Though the Kansas Athletics Department has not released official renderings of what the building will look like, here's a preliminary list of the features:

"Having a better, newer area will help bring in top recruits who will add to our tradition," Hayes said.
Emily Bucher, Louisburg freshman, said she had mixed feelings about an addition. On one hand, Bucher said she appreciated the traditional, unchanged aspect of the fieldhouse.
"You walk in here, and it's the same as it was 100 years ago," she said.
But on the other hand, she said she could see the addition as adding to the tradition by highlighting special moments in KU athletics.
Kole Weiser, Salina sophomore, also could not decide what his opinion was on the issue.
It's important to remember KU basketball history." Weiser said.
Along with their spouses and children, David Booth, Mark Booth and Jane Booth Berkley donated $4 million to the project in honor of their parents, Gilbert and Betty. The family lived right down the street from the fieldhouse at 1931 Naismith Dr. and attended numerous games and cultural events, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the Kansas University Endowment Association. Mark would often watch practices and all three children attended the University of Kansas, Scarfe said
Their $4 million donation completed the $6 million the department was fundraising for the project.

Racial protest sparks change
The Library
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egercia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The beginning of the '90s marked a turning point for relationships between minorities and the University of Kansas.
The Minority Issues Task Force was on its way to implement recommendations predicted to ease building tension between minorities and the University
On April 11, 1990 approximately 350 people gathered inside Strong Hall to protest the administration's handling of minority issues. The protest started after a member of Sigma Alpha Epision yelled racial slurs at a female pizza delivery girl.
It would all change March 30, 1990.
Rough relationship
University Archives, Spencer Research Library
Lack of minority representation and the presence of discrimination were evident on campus during the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s through 1970s.
through A 2002 article written by Douglas Harvey for kuhistory.com cited that about 150 members of the Civil Rights Council staged a sit-in to protest the University's discriminatory policies for student housing and for the Greek community in 1965.
Chancellor Gene A. Budig proposed the creation of a task force to ease tension after Ku Klux Klan members spoke on campus.
The Minority Issues Task Force looked at the concerns of minority students on campus and made recommendations and a plan to implement those recommendations.
Marshall Jackson, associate director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center, was the interim director of the Office of Minority Affairs and was on the task force.
After months of research, task force members filed a report with the University that highlighted major problems.
Members finished the 29-page report on May 4, 1989. The report outlined issues from campus climate to student, faculty and staff recruitment and retention.
Jackson said the report contained ideas that would have changed the University for the long run. But the task force's recommendations would come to a halt on the morning of Friday, March 30, 1990.
Dean said that Matthew Willenborg, a St. Louis freshman, struck her hand, knocking down the pizzas she was carrying, and yelled racial slurs at her, according to articles written about the incident.
Igniting flames
It was around 2 a.m. that morning when Ann Dean, then a St. Louis sophomore, was asked to deliver a pizza to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
The report sparked a controversy that widened the gap between students.
A report was filed against the fraternity.
Jackson said many minority groups were already trying to bring attention to issues like racial discrimination, women's issues and gay rights issues

before the incident.
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
"There was a lot of tension. The campus was extremely charged politically." Marshall said. "The SAE thing kind of blew everything up."
According to an Apr 2, 1990 article of the University Daily Kansan, 20 students gathered Apr. 1 on the front porch of the SAE house and demanded to discuss what had happened.
The groups were later moved to Hoch Auditorium, now budig Hall, where they were joined by University officials to talk about the episode.
Bill Tuttle, professor of American studies, helped organize students.
"I think the reason we got involved was that nothing was being done," he said. "We also wanted to avoid violence."
Nine days later, on Apr. 11, students angry about the administration's lack of action descended upon Strong Hall to protest. Chancellor Budig answered the concerns of the students.
Chico Herbison, professor of African and African-American studies, was in charge of recruiting minorities during this time.
"I think students have a right and a responsibility to constantly question any decisions being made," he said. "One of the byproducts of the whole series of incidents was that the chancellor did set aside funds for minority scholarships."
After the protest, some of the protesters went to the fraternity to deliver a get well card.
Tuttle said the card read, "Racism is a social disease, get well soon. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help."
Tension remained highly charged
on campus for several weeks, as the task force's report was not enough of a response for students, Jackson said.
"They said the University wasn't moving fast enough," he said.
Jackson was disappointed that the task force's plan was never implemented.
"What I thought was the best opportunity for the University to make some changes that would have been long term with the minority task force didn't happen." he said. "Everything was right there for the University to move ahead, but it had all died."
Moving forward
Willenborg, the fraternity member who assaulted Dean, was later suspended and he resigned from the fraternity.
He left the University after he was arrested on a separate battery charge.
Other acts of racial violence have since been reported, but none have instigated similar protests.
The Office of Minority Affairs was renamed the Office of Multicultural Affairs when Robert Page took over as director of the program.
The multicultural program's aim to include all students, not just minorities, is one of Page's goals for the University. Page also has helped develop plans for a new Multicultural Research Center, which will be added onto the north side of the Kansas Union.
Construction for the multi-million dollar project is scheduled to begin in the fall.
Both Jackson and Tuttle have praised the work that Page has done for the multicultural environment on campus.
campus. Page said he was thankful that the administration and the students improved the campus environment.
"We will be the best cultural center in the country — ground breaking, visionary, a model institution," he said.

Fire alarms, particularly false fire alarms, annoyed students in residence halls such as McCollum Hall 28 times last year.
So why should students believe this semester will be any different? With almost a third of the semester finished, Daisy Hill is off to a good start.
"I think the residents have just been fed up with the fire alarms," Ashley Pate, Tucson, Ariz., sophomore, said. "I honestly think the weather has a lot to do with it because no one wants to stand out there when it's really cold."
Pate, a resident of McCollum Hall, put up with 28 false fire alarms last year. Mindy Rendon, complex director of McCollum Hall, said McCollum had to evacuate the building twice this semester. One of the two times was a required practice fire drill.
Across Daisy Hill, they are seeing similar results. Leon Hayner, complex director of Ellsworth and Hashinger Halls, said Ellsworth had one fire alarm since the semester started. Ellsworth had 19 false fire alarms last year.
Reasons for the fewer number of fire alarms are unknown.
Perhaps students heard about the consequences of pulling a false fire alarm — fines for pulling a false alarm ranged from $50 to $500 in a previous interview, said Mark Bradford, fire and medical deputy chief for the city of Lawrence. Diana Robertson, associate director of Student Housing, said if someone got caught pulling a false fire alarm, the student's housing contract would be immediately cancelled.
Connor Castellano, Overland Park freshman and Ellsworth resident, said he was pleased with the fewer number of alarms. He said that false alarms, particularly at night, were an inconvenience to

everyone in the residence hall and hindered studying and sleeping.
The Feb. 11 fire alarm woke up everybody in Ellsworth. Castellano said the alarm rang at 4:30 a.m. and caused the residences to wait outside for an hour and a half. He said students took out a fire extinguisher and sprayed it in the hall, causing the 90-minute wait.
"We had to carry a visitor we had down the stairs because he had been out too much that night," Castellano said. "He finally woke up when we got down-stairs."
However, this was just one instance.
Last year, students at McCollum were used to hearing the sound. Becoming immune to the frequent noise of a siren ringing through his hall, one student admitted he didn't take the alarms seriously.
"I was guilty," said Dru Walstrom, Kansas City, Mo., freshman and McCollum resident. "I would get dressed, make sure I have my car keys and a CD and put an away message up online before I left the building."
Although the number of fire alarms is down this semester, some students do not think the positive streak will last until May.
"I think as the spring goes on, we'll get more fire alarms because people won't care if they stand outside in 60 degree conditions," Pate said.

Phi Kappa Theta fraternity faces complaints, violations
CAMPUS
The University of Kansas will file a formal complaint today after eight citations were issued to Phi Kappa Theta fraternity during the weekend, said Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success.
Once the complaint is filed, the Interfraternity Council will begin investigations into the incident, Roney said.
Phi Kappa Theta is accused of violating state alcohol regulations and University policies concerning alcohol at fraternity functions, according to the statement.
The Lawrence Police Department issued the citations at an unregistered fraternity event, according to a University statement.

HawkHelp LIVE, a KU program that connects students to librarians using an instant messaging service, is under-used, said Frances Devlin, digital reference service coordinator. But with a new software program and some help from neighboring universities and a KU promotional campaign, HawkHelp LIVE should become more popular.

Out of 20 students surveyed by a University Daily Kansan reporter, five students knew what HawkHelp LIVE was, but none of them had ever used it.
To increase awareness, the libraries have branded mugs, posters, memo pads and shirts with a HawkHelp LIVE logo, Devlin said.
"They can search a database together from their separate locations and instant message back and forth while they do it," she said.
KU libraries created HawkHelp LIVE so students can talk to library assistants electronically to help answer research questions. Use of the program has increased, but not as much as Devlin would like, she said.

All animosity aside, the University of Missouri has enlisted the help of the University of Kansas to produce a joint retail store in Kansas City, Mo.
Possible store locations are being researched, she said.
Missouri has worked on the deal and is currently drafting a proposal, said Sherry Pollard. Missouri's director of student activity services.
"They've invited us to be part of this," said David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions. "They think we would be a good provider of KU merchandise."
The store will consist of merchandise from the unions of both universities.
Missouri union officials are expected to have more financial plans by the next series of meetings, which are scheduled for March.

"We like the idea," Mucci said. "We really want to see how we share costs and the answers to the other financial questions."
The proposal will go to Tim Norris, director of the KU Bookstores. Organizers have found a possible venue for the new store, at 135th Sreet and State Line Road.
"We wanted to see what kind of lease they will have," Norris said.
All money gained from the store will need to be divided, but all of the University's profits will go back to students, Norris said.
The KU Memorial Corporation, which operates separately from the University, is the not-for-profit business that will spearhead the store. "The venture will be a non-profit," Norris said. "So all money gained, after expenses are recouped, will go into the Student Union Activities fund or into maintenance on the unions."

Is anybody ready to take their Band-Aid off yet? Are we ready to have real surgery instead of some weak, over-hyped reform that barely helps the problem that we have?
We should actually start trying to help save our natural resources and protect the environment. Step one: Stop recycling, or rather, stop using recycling as an excuse to over consume and to not reuse our natural materials. Recycling is reusing you say? Not exactly, recycling uses a tremendous amount of energy and water. Both of which are resources that our planet does not have an overabundance of.
Energy and water are the two most precious and volatile commodities in the world. Wars are fought over energy, so why are we using so much of it on recycling when other options are available to us? In fact, the making of new products, in some cases, could even take less energy and materials than the collection — huge diesel trucks pouring exhaust into the air — re-processing and transformation of the old products into something useful. Paper recycling and aluminum recycling are the exceptions, it is super easy to reprocess paper or aluminum.
Do you remember the '3 R's' you learned in elementary school? Reduce, reuse and recycle. What happened to the first two? Reducing the amount of material we consume is the best way to save natural resources. The immense amount of material wasted, mostly because of extra marketing would be easy to cut down on.
Recycling isn't an environmental freebie. A study by Keep America Beautiful, Inc., concludes that, "It is possible that the total energy requirements associated with increased recycling could be greater than manufacturing with virgin raw materials. For example, shipping recovered materials extremely long distances to end markets may negate any energy savings realized in the manufacturing process."
Recycling aluminum conserves 95 percent of the energy used to create new aluminum. It is recycling plastic and glass that is most in question.
When I buy a case of bottled water, what's with the heavy-duty plastic wrap around it? And for that matter, why am I buying water in plastic bottles? I could buy water in glass bottles and then turn the bottles back in to be reused. Our parents would remember the days of milk coming in glass bottles that were reused over and over again. Now that's environmentally friendly.
Why is all this recyclable material being created? Well, more bottles, more plastic wrap, more of anything means more business. More business means a better economy.
If you have a bottle in your hand, plastic or glass, and you are given the choice of throwing it in the trash or recycling bin. Recycle it. The trucks and recycling plants are going to run either way, so it'll be better for it to be recycled. But, what we really need to concentrate on are the other two R's. Don't set something in the recycling bin and walk away with a warm feeling in your tummy and a big smile on your face because you're saving the world. You're not. Reduce the materials you use and throw away. Reuse things as much as possible. Then I'll allow you to smile. Then you'll be saving the world.
Can you imagine the hit that plastics manufacturers would take if milk were no longer put in plastic jugs? The economy is important to our nation, but so is the environment, or at least it should be. The government needs to do more in the way of promoting the reduction of material. It cannot, or should not, feel that it is doing enough by encouraging the citizens to take part in recycling programs.

CURE AIDS
United States not keeping up with AIDS assistance
EDITORIAL BOARD
Endeavors abroad seem to be what George W. Bush will be known for in history. Unfortunately, there is a region of the world that is wholly neglected by Washington.
The continent of Africa has witnessed to
The continent of Ants some of the most horrific episodes in recent history. From military coups, genocide, and disease on a rampant scale, many countries in Africa are in need of a helping hand.
Recently the Gates Foundation, a charitable organization under the auspice of Bill and Melinda Gates, donated a hefty $750 million to the treatment of global diseases. The recipient of the money, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations, has a stellar track record in trying to help the AIDS problem.
According to the Gates
Foundation, "in its first five years in operation it has saved more than 670,000 lives." The donation, which will be distributed over a five-year period, will give GAVI a much-needed boost in the number of people it can reach.
If the U.S. is ever going to take a serious stab at curing the disease it must look to Africa and work on solving the problem there.
The United States government is currently focused on spreading freedom across the globe, but entirely lacks a commitment to solving the AIDS epidemic here and abroad, especially in Africa where it has razed a continent.
Gates' charity also inspired Tony Blair to dedicate upwards of $2 billion to cure global diseases. The Gates Foundation donation is another in a long string of independent donations given to raise awareness and assist various causes abroad.
The Gates donation is undoubtedly a very good thing. Unfortunately, it fills a glaring void left by countries such as the United States. Some may believe that this is only an African problem, but there are upwards of 1.5 million people living in America with HIV/AIDS.
The current argument seems to be that the only way to cure HIV/AIDS in America is to work only within the borders of the U.S.; the
African nations have their own problems. An isolationist position to global diseases cannot and will not work; cutting off the head cannot cure the headache.
The money given by Gates has formed a growing dichotomy with the efforts done by the U.S. and independent investors. Unfortunately one of the main recipients of Gates' donation, Africa, is largely overlooked by American foreign policy. It is predicted that more than 40 million people worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS.
UN AIDS predicts that 23 to 28 million of those people infected reside within the African continent. 5,500 people are estimated to die from the disease daily, and 11,000 are predicted to become infected at the same rate, according to the World Health Organization.
In the coming months, America should turn its focus on countries within Africa and the HIV/AIDS crisis.
A little could go along way, and although America is really good at using guns and firing missiles, but its medical prowess isn't too shabby. Nuclear instability in Iran and North Korea is scary, but global diseases on a biblical scale is more frightening.

Mental illness further deepens homeless plight
Imagine you are a homeless person in Lawrence. In order to make a phone call or take a shower, you must ask someone else's permission. If you want a bed, you have to settle with a mat and even for this you must be at the shelter by 7 p.m. to get one of the 21 available spots.
Then you get woken up at 6:30 a.m. If you can't get there early enough, you sleep on a bench somewhere, hoping the cops won't kick you out or it doesn't start raining or drop below freezing.
After living this way for months or years, perhaps you start to self-medicate by drinking or taking drugs in order to cope with your situation. Maybe even signs of depression or schizophrenia start to appear. But you could never know for sure and nothing could be done about it because you do not have health insurance so who will treat you?
This is a major problem facing the Lawrence community and as members of this community, we have a responsibility to make sure all residents are cared for properly no matter their socioeconomic status or type of illness. We cannot afford to have persons with a mental illness going untreated for this could pose a threat to themselves and others.
According to statistics from the Lawrence Coalition for Homeless Concerns, 35 percent of the local homeless population has a mental illness. This number does not even include those who have not been diagnosed, those who live below the poverty line but are not labeled as homeless or those who aren't severe enough yet to be diagnosed as mentally ill.
If those factors were included, the number would be much greater. So out of the estimated 155 homeless people in Lawrence, according the Lawrence Community Drop-In Center, nearly 47 people in Lawrence are diagnosed as mentally ill yet are not receiving medical attention.
If there were much hope for a homeless person in this situation, it was all but lost since May, when Lawrence Memorial Hospital closed their in-patient mental health ward.
The closing was justified by many factors including a financial burden which could have come to nearly $350,000 by 2008 according to a Laurence Journal-World article on Dec. 10, along with the fact that four psychiatrists resigned and near the end, only four people a day were being served.
Therefore, closing was inevitable, however, it does not mean that the need is not there for a local in-patient mental health center. Bert Nash Community Health Center is also located in Lawrence but does not offer in-patient services. This is a critical matter, especially when it comes to handling episodes like suicide attempts, such as the case last month. Not to say that LMH isn't looking into things now. Along with the Lawrence Task Force for Homelessness, mental health issues are being addressed.
While there are options, Loring Henderson, director of the Lawrence Community Shelter, noted two priorities that need to be addressed. Along with an in-patient center, Henderson also called for continuing community care.
This would be a program more focused on the on-going attention needed to make sure people stay healthy and would be watched over instead of just "warehousing them" in shelters. Nothing like this exists currently. In order to implement these kinds of plans citizens of Lawrence need to vocalize their support.
University of Kansas students can take action by contacting city hall and letting them know their concern. This is a major issue that affects everyone in Lawrence because everyone deserves fair treatment.

Dying language nears extinction
WICHITA — A language spoken by a few hundred elderly residents of Marshall and Washington counties in northeast Kansas was on the verge of dying out.
Plattdeutsch, or low German, is more likely to be heard in the home of an older couple than out on the streets of towns with such names as Greenleaf, Winfried and Waterville, near the Nebraska border.
Stephanie Farley/KANSAN
It's a language that brought shame to some after two world wars, and which parents often neglected to teach to their own children.
But times have changed. A University of Kansas researcher whose work is part of the school's German Dialect Research Project said the language was worth saving, and the editor of the local newspaper agreed.
"Everyone who speaks it is elderly, and if nothing happens to try to preserve this language, in one generation it would go extinct," said Dan Thalmann, editor of the Washington County News. "My father spoke low German until kindergarten, and I don't even know a word."
Scott Seeger, a graduate student at the University who is looking for people who still speak the language, said people weren't exactly proud of their language during and after the world wars.
"For many years it wasn't really acceptable to be really proud about being German-American, especially in the 1940s," Seeger said. "It's not something you openly wear on your shirtsleeve."
The people Seeger is studying are primarily descendants of Lutherans who moved into the northeast Kansas area in the late 1800s from the northern German lowlands. He said he had found about 350 people in the two counties who knew the language.

Gonzo journalist, writer dies
PEOPLE
BY JOHN ROGERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Paul Krassner recalls warmly his talking to Hunter S. Thompson about the gonzo journalist's plans to run for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colo., on the Freak Power ticket in 1970.
Thirty-five years later, Krassner is certain Thompson made the right decision. He lost that election, but went on to become one of the most famous writers of his time.
"I think that was the big turning point for him," Krassner told
The Associated Press from his Southern California home on Sunday night. "And he was very honorable, too. He even returned the $200."
Thompson shot himself to death Sunday at his Colorado home. He was 67.
The author of such books as "Hells Angels" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is credited with pioneering New Journalism, also called gonzo journalism, in which the writer makes himself an essential part of the story.
In Thompson's case, the writer often portrayed himself as

wildly intoxicated on drugs or alcohol (or both) as he reported on such historic figures as Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.
"It was hard to say sometimes whether he was being provocative for its own sake or if he was just being drunk and stoned and irresponsible," Krassner quipped.
WORLD
"But every editor that I know, myself included, was willing to accept a certain prima donna journalism in the demands he would make to cover a particular story — demanding that we send him to Hawaii with three beautiful maidens he could dictate his stories to, for example. They were willing to risk all of his irresponsible behavior in order to share his talent with their readers."
"He may have died relatively young, but he made up for it in quality, if not quantity, of years," Krassner said.
North Korea says it may open talks
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Il told a visiting Chinese envoy that his government will return to six-party nuclear disarmament talks if the United States shows "sincerity," the communist state's official news agency said today. The announcement—the latest in more than two years of conflicting statements over North Korea's nuclear program—came less than two weeks after Kim flouted Washington and its allies by claiming that it had nuclear weapons and would boycot the talks.

Israelis release 500 Palestinians
JERUSALEM — Palestinians gave a jubilant welcome to 500 prisoners freed yesterday by Israel as part of a truce, but many complained that uprising leaders were not among those released. Hamas militants appeared unmasked in a West Bank city, their leader shouting that there can be no peace "as long as there is a single prisoner in Israeli jails."
Suhail Abu Madala, 35, spent four years in prison and had three more years to serve when he was set free yesterday.
"I cannot believe that I'm smelling the air of freedom, that I will see my family," he said, choking back tears after being reunited with brothers and sisters and his 12-year-old son, Mohammed, in the West Bank city of Nablus.
The Associated Press
The decision to release the prisoners led to criticism by some Israelis that the move could re-ignite the bloodshed that has beset the region for more than four years.

NORMAN, Okla. — Three straight losses are evidence that things aren't right with the Kansas Jayhawks. Although they may not be able to isolate one problem, the Kansas players and coaches certainly can pinpoint the solution.
The seniors need to fix this one.
"We might have to talk as a senior class and talk about how much it really means to us," senior guard Aaron Miles said following Kansas' 71-63 loss to Oklahoma last night. "It means a whole lot to us and we know that, but we need to talk about what we are willing to do in practice just to help everybody keep their head up."
These four seniors have been to two Final Fours and an Elite Eight. There aren't too many plays they haven't seen.
"We've been in this position before," senior guard Keith Langford said. "Last year we had eight losses going into the NCAA Tournament. This team has already handled adversity well, and this time we are going to have to respond to that again."
For the past three seasons, the Jayhawks have been able to turn it on when they had the most on the line. With their track record, it is not hard to see why the seniors expect to elevate their game when it counts. But that is not the kind of example that coach Bill Self wants to see from his leaders.
He said the seniors needed to regain their focus before they could help their teammates.
"I don't think it is the guys. I think it is the seniors." Self said. "A team is only as good as its seniors and when a team is playing well the seniors deserve the most credit and when a team is not playing well the seniors have to shoulder the responsibility with the coach.
"So I think it is me and our four seniors to drag these guys along. I don't think that we should be worried about making sure that other guys do their job until we do our jobs ourselves and I think the other guys will follow along." Self said.

Colby Eymann was sitting alone smoking a cigarette outside of the Wheel last night.
Inside, the place was practically deserted. empty.
While the Jayhawk basketball team was left to ponder another loss on the long drive home from Norman, Okla., Kansas fans were left to ponder the team's failure, at home and alone.
Eymann, Prairie View senior,
watched the game with friends at the
Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., last night Eymann said there was no enthusiasm for the game during the first half after Oklahoma jumped out to a big lead early. Some of his friends were so upset after the first half that they left the bar.
"Everyone was pretty depressed during that first half," Eymann said as he sat alone sipping a beer. "It got a little better in the second, but that ended when they put it away in the final minutes."
The Wheel was eerily quiet just minutes after the game ended as many of the fans who came to watch were already gone to mourn the loss
at home. The ones who did remain mostly stood in ones and twos, talking quietly.
Other fans watched the game with friends at their off-campus housing and were also upset because of the loss.
"I'm in a bad mood and I feel like when I go to campus that everyone else is in a bad mood too because of the losses," Ron Montefalcon, St. Louis junior, said.
Montefalcon said he and his friends spent most of the game in silence as the Oklahoma lead grew.

Langford needs firsthalf shoes
Senior guard Keith Langford has a superstition. If he plays what he believes is a sub-par first half, he changes his shoes at halftime.
This is no secret. It's widely publicized. You can't watch or listen to a Kansas basketball game without hearing an announcer describe Langford's supersitious habit.
What once was occasional has now become commonplace. I can't remember the last time Langford ran out of the tunnel after halftime wearing the same pair of shoes. Last night was no exception.
He played fair in the first half last night, scoring eight points, but it wasn't good enough. The lavhawks trailed the Sooners by 15 at halftime.
There's no doubt that Langlord is a gifted scorer. He scored 16 points last night, his season average. He has the ability to not only create his own shot off the dribble, but to beat a defender one-on-one to get to the basket in nearly any situation. Langford has the talent to take over a game, seemingly scoring at will while putting the entire team on his shoulders.
"There's not many players out there that can do a lot of the things that he can do," coach Bill Self said.
Langford has demonstrated his capacity to be a key player. He scored the winning basket in the Georgia Tech game, and tied both the Texas Tech and Iowa State games to send them in to overtime.
But where is this "give me the ball and get the hell out of my way" mentality during the first half? Why does he only score when he wants to or has to, putting his team in a position to come from behind to win a game?
Recently Langford was quoted as saying he had a "button" he could turn on at any time during a game. A switch when flipped to the "on" position turns him into the scorer his team needs him to be.
In consecutive victories against Nebraska and Kansas State earlier this season, Langford was challenged by Self to put together two complete halves. In those games he scored 27 and 24 points, respectively.
What the (insert favorite profanity),
KEITH??!
With the exception of those games and a few earlier in the season, Langford has stunk in most first halves this season. He has started cold. In many games this season, Langford has been nearly invisible in the first half, only to come back in the second to light up the scoreboard.
“His aggressiveness is what we look for each and every night,” Self said. “His lack of aggressiveness leads us to become stale at times.”
Regardless of what happened last night, he still has to be consistent in both halves. He needs to come out scoring right away.

Women's team wants crowd enthusiasm

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
It's the biggest game of the season, and the Kansas women's basketball team is asking for the help of the KU student body.
Kansas will host No. 6 Baylor 7 p.m. tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse. Since February 2001, the women have lost 33 games in a row to teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25. The Jayhawks are hoping for a monumental upset.
To pull off the upset, the players and coaches say they need students to step up as the sixth man and come cheer them on to victory.
"We need that true home court advantage, which is the noise and energy that the fans bring into the building," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Allen Fieldhouse is a historic building, but that's not what helps us win.
It's the fans that do that."
The team already overachieved this season. Members of the Big 12 media predicted it to finish 11th in the Big 12 Conference. The Jayhawks are in eight place with only two weeks left in the regular season.
The Jayhawks had an energetic and enthusiastic crowd when they upset Nebraska 67-53 on Sunday. The excitement in the stands carried over to the Jayhawks' play on the court, something that they hope can happen again against Baylor.
"It's a huge game," said junior guard Kaylee Brown. "They are No. 7 in the country. We need the students to come out and pack the fieldhouse."
Now, after disproving the skeptics several times this season, they want to do it one more time tomorrow night.
After playing Baylor, the Jayhawks will hit the road for the final two games of the sea.
Not only is tomorrow's game against a Top 10 opponent, it's also the Jayhawks' last home game of the season. Henrickson said she thought that that should also be a reason for fans to come out to the fieldhouse.
son. Both are away games against ranked teams Kansas State and Iowa State.
"It's Senior*Night, the last home game of the year," Henrickson said. "It will be their last chance to see us play until next season."
Henrickson can be excused for wanting some of the home court advantage that the men's team possesses. Since 1997, the men's team has had the highest home winning percentage in the country. It's not a coincidence that every game in that timespan has been a sellout.
Henrickson said she thinks that if a big crowd comes out tomorrow night to support the women, they can help her team
"Their enthusiasm and energy enhances our chances to be successful." Henrickson said.
pull off the upset. Not only does the crowd need to be big, it needs to be energetic, she said.
The team looks as if it as prepared as it can be to pull off an upset. The women practiced so well on Monday that Henrickson called off practice 30 minutes early. As the team left the weight room, junior forward Crystal Kemp summed up tomorrow night's game in four words.
"We're out for blood." Kemp said.
The team said the same phrase before the Nebraska game, and ended up dominating one of the conference's better teams en route to the upset. With the help of the students, Kemp and her teammates hope history can repeat itself tomorrow night.

Magazines pick soccer player as a Freshman All-American
The postseason honors continue for the Kansas soccer players.
Freshman defender Afton Sauer was chosen to be a Freshman All-American in the February issue of Soccer America magazine. Last month, Sauer was also selected as a thirdteam Freshman All-American by SoccerBuzz magazine. The Big 12 Conference also selected Sauer to the second team All-Conference and All-Freshman team honors following the season.

Sauer
This honor is one of the many that the Jayhawk soccer program has received after finishing with its best record in school history.
Defensive skills are Sauer's specialties, but this season she scored two goals; one of them was a game-winning goal against Texas Tech on Oct. 1. Sauer helped lead Kansas to a school record, and she will be back next year to help the Jayhawks progress as a soccer program in Division I athletics.
The Jayhawks' defense this season was one of the best in the nation. It only allowed 13 goals all season and finished ninth in the nation with a team goals-against average of 55 percent.

AP POLL
Gonzaga women's basketball team enters AP rankings
The Zags are on the move again — and this time, it's the women.
Gonzaga joined The Associated Press women's basketball poll for the first time yester day, riding a 20-game winning streak, the nation's longest, into the No. 25 spot. The Bulldogs (24-2) haven't lost since Dec. 4 and already have clinched the West Coast Conference championship.
"I've talked about how many countless people ask me 'What about the rankings? When are you going to get ranked?' I always told them it didn't matter." Gonzaga coach Kelly Graves said.
At Gonzaga, the men have gained a national profile because of some NCAA tournament upsets, and they were ranked 12th yesterday. The women's program, however, has lagged behind — until now.
In Graves' first season, 2000-01, the Bulldogs finished 5-23 and were winless in the conference. Two years later, they improved to 18-12, their first winning season since 1994. The women have never played in the NCAA tournament and before this season, their only WCC championship had been in 1988.
"It's just been such a long journey, for this group of seniors especially," said Graves.
"There really had been no tradition here. We just kind of came in and said, 'Listen, this is how it can be, this is what we're striving for, this is the kind of program we want.' They did it on a promise. It's nice to see their labors and their hard work has paid off."

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Illinois stays at top of AP poll, Kansas falls six places to No.8
After two overtime losses, the Kansas Jayhawks dropped to their lowest ranking this season: No. 8.
Kansas (20-3) lost to Texas Tech in double overtime and Iowa State in overtime last week.
Oklahoma State, Kansas' next opponent, moved from eighth to No.4, the week's biggest jump.
Illinois, the lone unbeaten team in Division I, was No.1 for the 12th straight week. For the fourth consecutive poll, the Illini were a unanimous choice.
The Illini (27-0) won road games against Penn State and Iowa last week and received all 72 first-place votes from the national media panel. Illinois' only game this week will be tomorrow at home against Northwestern.
North Carolina (22-3) moved up two spots to No. 2 after easy victories against Virginia and Clemson last week.
Boston College (22-1), which defeated Syracuse on Saturday in a matchup of Top Ten teams, jumped from sixth to No. 3, the highest ranking in school history. The Eagles were fourth two weeks ago. Their highest ranking before this season was sixth in December 1967.
Kentucky, Wake Forest, Duke, Arizona and Michigan State rounded out the Top Ten.
For the second time in three weeks, a school entered The Associated Press' Top 25 for the first time ever.
Nevada, winners of six straight games and nine of 10, was No. 25 yesterday, the first time the Wolf Pack cracked the rankings. Two weeks ago, Pacific, No. 19 this week, moved into the poll for the first time, Kansas defeated both teams earlier this season, dominating Nevada 85-52 on Nov. 29 and topping Pacific 81-70 on Dec.4.
Nevada (20-5) holds a two-game lead over UTEP in the Western Athletic Conference. The Wolf Pack reached the 20-win mark for the second straight season with a 74-64 win over Vermont on Saturday.
Syracuse fell from No.9 to 15th after losing two games, matching Kansas for the biggest drop of the week.

Solid performance shuts down Kansas offense
BY KELLIE ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
NORMAN, Okla. — When Kansas took the floor to start the second half it was losing to the Oklahoma band.
The Sooner's fight song "Boomer Sooner" was played 13 times in the first half, while Kansas made only nine field goals.
The first half featured 11 assists by Oklahoma and 11 turnovers by Kansas, resulting in a 37-22 lead for Oklahoma at the break.
The Jayhawks made a game out of it in the second half, but the Sooners' overall team effort was just too much to overcome, costing Kansas its third straight game.
The top scorer for the Sooners was junior guard Terrell Everett, with 19 points, but two other Oklahoma players also finished the game in double figures.
Freshman guard David Godbold added 15 points, and senior forward Johnnie Gilbert chipped in 12 of his own.
Every Oklahoma player who entered the game ended up with points except senior guard Jaison Williams, with seven Sooners scoring at least five points.
"Everybody on our team is a role player." Oklahoma coach
Oklahoma confused Kansas' offense, and seemed to find the open man every time by making an extra pass.
Kelvin Sampson said, "We tried to spread Kansas and beat them off the dribble. We just made plays."
Oklahoma's guards continually drove toward the basket and forced Kansas' big men to go airborne. This made it easy to dish the ball to another player.
The Sooners finished the game with 14 assists.
"We didn't do a good job on keeping them out of the lane in the first half," Kansas coach Bill Seif said. "We knew before the game when Oklahoma plays their best is when their guards play well, and their guards played very well today."
The Sooners also played solid team defense against the Jayhawks. The defense forced the Jayhawks to earn every bucket.
Oklahoma junior forwards Kevin Bookout and Taj Gray combined for seven fouls, but their tough defense eliminated Kansas' ability to attack the basket, and held Kansas to only five offensive rebounds.
Kansas had such a difficult time against Oklahoma's inside defense that Self played a small line-up in the second half. Senior forward Wayne Simien
"We tried to spread Kansas and beat them off the dribble. We just made plays."
Kelvin Sampson Oklahoma coach
was the only forward who did anything productive against it; he ended with 17 points but had only six rebounds.
Sue Ogrocki/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The other three big men who entered the game for Kansas, freshmen forwards Sasha Kaun, C.J. Giles and Darnell Jackson, combined for two points in 19 minutes of action.
"How do you stop Wayne Simien? You just try as hard as you can," Sampson said. "Bookout is a big guy, 260 pounds, you know, it's pretty difficult to move him around."
Kansas players are surely left with more questions than answers after last night's game. They can take solace in at least one thing though, they finished last night's contest with 23 field foals, bettering the Oklahoma band by two.

able deficit in the first half. Five minutes into the first half, Oklahoma went on a 23-7 run spanning 10 minutes and putting the team up 30-13.
Credit Oklahoma's defense for the team's 37-22 halftime lead. The tenacious man-toman defense was just too much for Kansas. Kansas turned the ball over 11 times in the first 20 minutes, and Oklahoma converted 14 points off Kansas' mistakes.
The Jayhawks looked flustered and unconfident. The Sooner's perimeter defense was so good, that on numerous occasions the Jayhawks weren't
able to penetrate inside the three-point line.
"We were pitiful all the way around," Self said. "They did a good job of not letting us get the ball in tight, but we were just horrible."
What looked like an Oklahoma blowout going into the locker room, slowly evolved into a ballgame in the second half. The Jayhawks gradually chipped away at the fifteenpoint halftime lead. A 14-4 Kansas run in the first four and a half minutes of the second half tightened Oklahoma's lead to 41-35.
Kansas pulled within a onepoint lead with just less than 10 minutes to play when sophomore guard J.R. Gidddens hit a three-point shot. The Jayhawks
went back and forth with the Sooners, but they never got closer than one point.
"When you get down 17, it's tough to come into someone else's house and like that," Langford said.
Self said it was the worst 48 hours of basketball his team had played all year. Prior to the Iowa State game, he said the team was playing well, but two poor performances later, the Jayhawks will have to look to find ways to fix the daunting problems that have cost them three straight games.
But it's not like the Jayhawks didn't have opportunities. The Jayhawks pulled within a point twice late in the second half, but both times they failed to get a defensive stop at the other end.
As the end of regulation approached, the Sooners' lead widened. A 6-0 Oklahoma run that started with about four minutes left in the game, gave them a 60-52 lead. That run could have been eliminated had Langford hit the front end of a one-and-one, but for the second straight game, the sen-
Last night, Self made it clear who the process starts with. The seniors.
♦ The trip got off to bad start long before the Jayhawks' loss to the Sooners. At 2:20 a.m. yesterday, a fire alarm went off at Kansas' team hotel. Apparently, a dryer caught fire at the Holiday Inn in Norman, Okla., forcing all of the people
inside to evacuate. Kansas players and coaches sat in the parking lot until 3:45 a.m., when they were allowed back into the building.
Despite the abrupt wake-up, the team still had its scheduled 10 a.m. wake-up call.
Self said he was hopeful that junior forward Christian Moody would be available for Sunday's match-up against Oklahoma State. Not only is Moody's presence in the Kansas' offense missing, Self said the team was just better with him on the court.

"We need him to play because he is the one big guy that can feed the ball to Wayne," Self said.
Edited by Lisa Coble-Krings
Self said he wasn't sure why one of his best scorers couldn't quite put it all together.
So, Keith, what is it? Don't feed me that "button" line. As far as I'm concerned, it should be on all the time, but it's clearly not.
"I don't really know what it is with Keith. We've had numerous talks about it."
Langford is a Division I, scholarship basketball player at one of the most storied programs in the sports' history. He shouldn't need to flip a switch to put in his best performances.
When the "button" is off, his intensity level is clearly not the same in the first half as it is in the second. He hasn't demonstrated the urgency or the killer instinct to stick it to an opponent early in the game, and it's starting to hurt his team. The Jayhawks got away with a few wins during some of Langford's poor performances, but it's clear now, after consecutive losses, that they need him to step up more than ever.
"We need him to be very energetic and hitting on all cylinders if this team has the best chance to be as good as it can be from the beginning of the game," Self said. "It's just something that he's going to have to get into his mind, that his team needs him to be a source of energy for 40 minutes and not just 20."
Fellow senior starters Wayne Simien and Aaron Miles have been consistent for the most part this season, turning in strong performances nearly every night. Langford is the question mark.
It's up to him as to whether this team can reach a championship level. Without him, this team can go nowhere.
Keith, do your coach,
your teammates and your a
fans a favor. Flip the damn
switch and stop changing
your shoes.

SOONER
SECOND
Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self (above) yells for his players to foul during the last minute of last night's game. The Jayhawks came close to catching up with the Sooners multiple times during the second half.
Drew Lavender (right),
Oklahoma sophomore guard,
takes the ball up against junior
guard Jeff Hawkins, Kansas held
Lavender to eight points on just 1-
7 shooting.
THIRD TIME NOT SO CHARMING
Last night in Norman, Okla., Kansas dropped its third straight Big 12 Conference game. The last time the Jayhawks suffered three defeats in a row was in 1994.
LSAS

CRIME
Fraternity likely to be punished after kegger
BY JOSHUA BICKEL

KANSAST WORK WRITER
The Interfraternity Council will begin an immediate investigation into an unregistered fraternity party over the weekend, Scott Shorten, president of the Interfraternity Council, said.
The University of Kansas filed a formal complaint against Phi Kappa Theta fraternity yesterday, Marlesa Roney said. Roney is the vice provost for student success. The chief justice of the IFC disciplinary board has received the complaint and the chapter will have a week to schedule a hearing. Shorten said.
At about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Lawrence police responded to a noise complaint at the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity house, 1111 W. 11th Street, according to a Lawrence police report.
Officers arrived at the scene and observed a loud party at the residence. They also noticed individuals at the entrance charging $5 for cups of alcohol beverages, Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, said.
The officers cited seven individuals for violations that involved state alcohol regulations, which also violate University policies on fraternity functions.
Officers confiscated 16 kegs of beer, $517 in cash and signs advertising the party. Ward said the signs also advertised a wet T-shirt contest at the party.
The IFC requires all member chapters to register all functions and events with them in an effort to make sure they comply with policies, according to a University statement.
Shorten, Stilwell junior, said the IFC would decide on an appropriate punishment for the chapter after the matter had been thoroughly investigated and would be determined based on IFC findings.
Punishments for incidents like this include various social probations and fines. Shorten said.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2005
"We do not tolerate these kinds of things." Shorten said.
The Phi Kappa Theta national office is also investigating the situation, said Kevin Lampe, national secretary for Phi Kappa Theta fraternity.
The national office will pursue swift and appropriate disciplinary action against the chapter, alone with the University.
Lampe said that the national fraternity would hold those who made improper choices responsible for their actions.
"It it was a very poor decision that overshadows the positive things that fraternities do," he said.

DIFFERENTIAL TUITION
BY NATE KARLIN AND DANI LITT
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
By the time Dustin Daigle, a psychology major, graduates in May, he will have taken 124 hours in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Tuition without fees will have cost the Topeka senior $13,757 for his four years at the University of Kansas.
When Molly Horan, Topeka freshman, graduates in May 2008, she will likely pay the basic tuition rate for 31 hours a year plus an additional $1,860 in differential tuition fees to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences if the college's proposed differential tuition plan passes.
Horan, who pays for half of her tuition, said she was not happy about the prospect of paying more.
"The extra fee makes a big difference." she said.
Beginning next semester, students enrolled in the college would pay an extra $10 per credit hour if the plan passes. The fee would increase to $20 per credit hour for the 2006-07 school year and then be capped at $30 for the 2007-08 year. The plan is set to continue for 20 years.
This week students will have their last chance to express concerns or show support for the CLAS differential tuition. Today through Friday, every student will receive an e-mail survey from the college, said Kim Wilcox, dean of the college.
After gathering student and faculty input, college leaders will bring the proposal to the chancellor. The chancellor will decide if the proposal will be brought to the Board of Regents.
The majority of the money from the differential fee would go toward the renovation of Wescoo and a new natural sciences building. Twenty percent of the total differential tuition revenue would be used for college-specific financial aid and scholarships.
Horan said that she would respond to the survey but that she did not agree with the fee because she would not be here to use the new buildings.
She compared the situation to the graduating class who had to pay extra fees to help build the Student Recreation Fitness Center beginning in the fall of 1998. Those students were not at the University of Kansas when the center opened. As a result, their memberships were extended for

Another concern of students is having to pay more than one differential tuition fee.
If the CLAS fee gets approved, students in all other schools except Social Welfare — which will likely propose its own differential tuition fee — will have to pay two differential fees. One of those students is Matt Bassinger, Stilwell freshman.
Baysinger, who is thinking about majoring in business or journalism, said he didn't mind having to pay two

Q&A
with Lindy Eakin vice provost for administration and finance
Q: What is differential tuition?
Δ.
A: Differential tuition is an additional fee for a program or school that has additional expenses that are program specific. The fee is charged to students in the program or school rather than those that aren't affected. For example, the School of Pharmacy wanted to change to a six-year degree instead of a four-year degree. The question was whether to raise tuition for everyone or just for the pharmacy majors because it was specific enough to their program.

A passion for aeronautics consumed Doug Shane at the age of 15 when he began flying. The 1982 alumunus transformed his hobby into his career as a test pilot. Most recently he was a part of a breakthrough project, which will eventually allow commercial flights into space.
A vice president and test pilot for Scaled Composites, Shane will return to the University of Kansas Friday as a key speaker for this year's School of Engineering Expo.
The former Jayhawk made headlines last year as an engineer and one of four test pilots for SpaceShipOne, the first private spaceship to be flown by a civilian.
Doug Shane, vice president and test pilot for Scaled Composites stands in front of the SpaceShipOne, the first commercial spacecraft. The '82 alumnus will return to speak at the School of Engineering Expo. Shane will speak at 9:30 a.m. Friday in the Lied Center.

New group to run

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Student Voice to campaign for Student Senate
There will be a third coalition running against Delta Force and KUnten when Student Senate holds its elections in April.
Dennis Chanay, Paola freshman, will be the presidential candidate for Student Voice coalition.
Chanay and other members of the newly formed coalition will spend the next two weeks trying to inform students of the coalition and its platform.
"We don't feel Student Senate is representing students," Chanay said. "We think they play into the administration too much and are too worried about what they think."
Chanay said the coalition's
main platform issue will be to stop increasing tuition. He said he thinks Senate is in favor of such increases.
Student Voice would only increase tuition when it is absolutely necessary, Chanay said.
Nick Sterner, Shawnee junior, and KUnited presidential candidate said he is supportive of a third coalition.
However, Sterner disagrees with Chanay's assessment that Senate is pro tuition.
"I don't feel anybody on campus is pro tuition," Sterner said. "Student Senate is doing their best to represent all students and we are not trying to cause harm by raising tuition."
Student Voice will also work to improve the wireless Internet service on campus and expand
it to residence halls, Chanay said.
Residence halls use an Internet service called ResNet, and Chanay said students have been complaining about it.
"We don't believe a student's only choice for Internet should be ResNet," Chanay said. "We believe it's very inefficient and would like to give students an opportunity to choose between ResNet and wireless Internet."
Chanay said Senate has approximately $500,000 in its reserve account and has the ability to extend wireless Internet on campus.
Student Voice will also push for a Chipotle restaurant at the Underground at Wescoe Hall.

Aid applications due soon
STUDENT FINANCES
If time is money, then time is running out for students to maximize the financial aid they can receive for the next school year.
Students have until March 1 to complete and submit their FAFSA — Free Application For Student Financial Aid — to receive priority consideration for certain education funds.
Applying early can give students and their parents an opportunity to receive larger financial aid awards and save money.
Just ask Janicee Gatson, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. That year she's without a $1,000 grant that she had the year before. Gatson said the difference was probably the fact that she sent her FAFSA before March 1 two years ago, but didn't apply in time last year.
"When I didn't apply, I didn't get as much aid," Gatson said. "One of them was a grant, and that was the one I got taken away."
Brenda Maigard, director of student financial aid at the University, said students should complete FAFSAs before March 1 to give them a better opportunity to earn rewards from limited-funds programs.
"Some of the federal, state and institutional programs that we award students are limited funded; that simply means there's not enough to go to everyone who is eligible," Maigaard said.
Students who complete their FAFSA before March 1 can receive priority consideration for certain financial aid programs. Here is a list of helpful Web sites for applying for financial aid.
PRIORITY DATE
*www.fafsa.ad.gov—Here you can complete and submit the entire FAFSA form to the federal government, which is recommended for a faster response. The FAFSA is the application used for federal, state and University financial aid.
*www.ku.edu/~ofsa/— The KU financial aid Web site provides specifics about financial aid as it pertains to University students.
- www.kansasregents.org — Here students can get information and documents to apply for financial aid specific to the state of Kansas.
Source: Office of Student Financial Aid
The limited-funds programs include the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Work Study, the Kansas Comprehensive Grant and the KU
And seeing how the financial aid office processes approximately 20,000 applications every year, it is likely those funds could be depleted by the time procrastinators send their FAFSA in later.
Tuition Grant.
Students who apply after the priority date can receive financial aid, but likely not as much as if they had applied before the deadline.
Maigaard said another benefit of submitting the application earlier is that students would know the amount of their rewards earlier, making financial planning for the year ahead more manageable.
Even students who have not filed their taxes yet can make estimates from their W-2 forms to submit their FAFSA before the priority date, and then readjust their FAFSA and still earn the opportunity to receive a bigger reward.
"Then they can make those funding decisions like how many hours do they want to work during the summer, those kinds of things, to help with costs." Maigard said.
Those in need of financial aid have six days left to do the FAFSA. It can be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Applying soon would be a good way to end February, which happens to be Financial Aid Awareness Month.

Boeing sells plants to Onex
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Boeing Co. sold its commercial aircraft plants in Kansas and Oklahoma yesterday to a Toronto-based investment group, part of the company's strategy to focus on design and final assembly.
Onex Corp. bought Boeing's commercial aircraft facility in Wichita, along with plants in Tulsa and McAleran, Okla., for about $1.2 billion. The Chicago-based aerospace giant has been trying to sell the plants for more than a year.
"Starting from a great foundation, our objective is to build the most efficient and innovative company in the aerostructures industry," Seth Mersky, a managing director of Onex, said in a statement announcing the sale. "There have been terrible job losses at these plants over the last several years. We confidently believe that can be reversed."
Onex's new aerospace company — which has yet to be named — would include investors from Boeing management. Also undecided is how many Boeing workers would be hired at the new company — those decisions are still awaiting negotiations with union officials.
Separately, Boeing announced the sale of its Rockettdyne rocket engine subsidiary to United Technologies Corp., parent of jet-engine maker Pratt & Whitney, for about $700 million cash. Rockettdyne has sites and assets in California, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida and 3,000 employees.
Boeing is Kansas' largest private employer; about 7,200 people work at
with the Wichita commercial plant, along with as many as 1,300 at the two smaller facilities in Oklahoma. Boeing's defense operations in Wichita, which employ approximately 5,000 workers, are not involved in the sale.
Onex is paying Boeing about $900 million in cash and taking on about $300 million in liabilities. The deal includes long-term agreements for Onex to provide Boeing with parts — including fuselage sections and wing elements — on four of Boeing's existing planes and the new 787 Dreamliner, the company's next-generation jet.
Mersky said Onex plans to invest $1 billion in Kansas and Oklahoma in the next five years and plans to seek business with other aircraft makers.
Boeing officials said the company had received bids from several interested parties, including some who wanted only part of the Wichita and Oklahoma operations.
"We thought Onex was the right buyer, at the right time, because of their track record working with employees, the unions, the community and their track record growing companies," said Jim Morris, senior vice president of supplier management for Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
The companies expect to close the deal, which is subject to federal regulatory approval, in the second quarter of 2005.
Onex plans to form a new company to run the plants, to be led by Jeff Turner, who is the vice president and general manager of Boeing's operations in Wichita and Oklahoma.
"This agreement fully supports our strategy to focus Boeing on large-scale systems integration, which is where we are most competitive and can add the most value to our airplanes and services," said Boeing commercial airplanes chief Alan Mulally.
Boeing is operating its commercial production facilities at 50 percent capacity, by all accounts too low for optimal use, said Nigel Wright. Onex's managing director. As an independent company, Onex hopes to attract businesses from Boeing competitors such as Airbus and from smaller regional aircraft manufacturers.

Senate seeks to raise SUA funding
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@hansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Student Senate is preparing a bill that would ask students for $5 per semester to improve the activities hosted by Student Union Activities.
SUA would be able to attract higher-profile names and entertainers if the increase in student fees passes, said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president and Leawood senior.
The bill will be proposed to Senate committees in two weeks, and if it passes, students will vote on the increase in the April election.
"SUA has done a terrific job with the budget they have, but with the increase, it would improve a lot." Dunlap said.
Keith Ellis, SUA adviser,
said the organization has a
budget of $100,000, but if
the fee passes, the budget
could be $300,000. The
Union currently funds SUA
without aid from students.
Senate would have a consulting role in hiring talent for events, but it would leave the majority of the work to SUA, Dunlap said.
The most notable speaker SUA has had this year is actor/comedian Bill Cosby. Cosby was funded by the homecoming committee and tickets cost $20.
Dunlap said that if the bill passes, events like the one that featured Cosby would not be as expensive because of the student fee charge.
Dunlap said if the bill was passed by the Senate and students in April, the increase would go into effect next fall.
Students at other Big 12 universities pay for SUA events.
At Kansas State University students pay $5.74 per semester and at Colorado students pay $8.08 per semester.
"There is no doubt that our University should be attracting bigger talent," Dunlap said. "If this passes, it will enable us to do so."
Dunlap said that the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics has helped the University attract high-profile political speakers, including former President Bill Clinton.
Speakers at the Dole Institute, however, are not affiliated with SUA or its
events.
Ellis said he was excited to work with the Senate.
schools in the Big 12 and found that we are really behind in the amount of money given to SUA," Ellis said.
Another idea Senate is exploring if the fee is passed is making bowling at Jaybowl free, Dunlap said. Making it free would create more interest in the Kansas Union and in SUA, he said.

Skateboarder learns limits the hard way
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@hansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Brian Bizjack has never had a problem with the law in the eight years he's been skateboarding.
That changed last weekend after he was informed that skateboarding within 1,000 feet of the University of Kansas is illegal. But Bizjack, Tula sophomore, said he wasn't on University property when a KU Public Safety officer issued him a notice to appear in Lawrence Municipal Court. He said he was skating on a sidewalk in a neighborhood.
"I'm pretty pissed off because I got a ticket in a neighborhood where I live," Biziack said.
He lives at the Theta Chi fraternity house, 1003 Emery Road.
Sunday afternoon,
Bizjack and a friend were
walking north along West
Campus Road, near Carruthen
O'Leary Hall, southwest of Memorial Stadium, carrying their skateboards when they noticed a KU Public Safety officer watching them from their car. He and his friend then crossed the street and began to walk north along the sidewalk across from campus.
As soon as he and his friend began skateboarding, the officer got out, confiscated the skateboards and issued them a notice to appear in municipal court, Biziack said.
This is the second time a KU Public Safety officer has issued a notice to appear for skateboarding on campus property this month. The first notice was issued to an 18-year-old male who was seen skateboarding near Wescoe Hall Feb. 13.
"It's like the cops were following us," he said. "It was really odd."
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office, said that officers are not targeting
skateboarders, but if they see people skateboarding during their patrol, they can issue a notice to appear in court.
It's also at the officer's discretion whether someone seen skateboarding is given a warning or immediately issued a notice to appear, Bailey said.
According to Lawrence city ordinance 17-703, skateboarding is prohibited in the area of Jayhawk Boulevard from West Campus Road to 13th Street, including 1,000 feet on either side of the University.
Two different officers issued the citations for the skateboarding incidents this month, Bailey said.
"I've never had anyone tell me not to skate on a sidewalk," Bizjack said. "But apparently that's illegal."
Bizjack will have to pay a $72 fine for violating this ordinance.

weekend burglar targets students
Lawrence police are investigating two burglaries that occurred over the weekend affecting nine KU students, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department.
Damage to the balcony door was estimated at $150.
The first burglary occurred sometime between 11:30 p.m., Feb. 19 and 2 a.m., Feb. 20 in the 1300 block of Vermont Street, according to a police report. An unknown individual forced entry through a rear balcony door and removed about $6,400 worth of property from the four KU students who live there.
A second burglary occurred between 12:15 a.m. and 1:40 a.m. on Feb. 20 in the 1300 block of Kentucky Street.
An unknown suspect entered the residence and removed items belonging to the five KU students living there. The items were estimated at $9,473.
— Joshua Bicket
it is not known how the suspect entered the residence.
Name of $1 million donor announced
Student body vice president Steve Munch announced the name of the family who donated $1 million for the new Multicultural Resource Center.
The money was given by the Sabatini Family Foundation. The family includes Frank C. Sabatini, who is a KU alumnus and a former state representative. He now lives in Topeka.
The money was donated in 2004, but the family did not want to be its name to be released until the full $2.7 million for the MRC was raised. The rest of the money was raised by student fees and other University funds.
Groundbreaking for the MRC is tentatively scheduled for August or September. The site dedication is planned for March 2006.
The MRC will be built on the north side of the Kansas Union with an entrance on Jayhawk Boulevard.
Students address CLAS tuition concerns

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
— Daniel Berk
Engineering students came together as a professional school to express concerns about a proposed College of Liberal Arts and Sciences differential tuition Monday night.
The Engineering Student Council was the first group to talk with Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, as a professional school this semester. Wilcox said.
Since the proposal of differential tuition for the college, Wilcox has met with at least 60
Members of the council sought clarification from Wilcox about paying for CLAS-specific financial aid and scholarships as members of a professional school.
groups of students.
Under the proposed differential tuition, 20 percent of the extra tuition fees would go toward financial aid and scholarships for students majoring in the college.
That was the main reason Andy Schmidt, Engineering Student Council president, and nearly 25 other professional school students met with Wilcox.
"We're just looking out for students," Schmidt, Bloomington, Minn., senior, said.
Before the meeting, the students who attended thought the financial aid part of the proposal was unwarranted for students who used the college only for general education courses.
"If some students have an opportunity that other students don't, to me and other students, that seems a little unfair." Schmidt said.
created by extra money.
Wilcox said if the differential tuition passed, only a small group of students would be excluded from the financial aid
For example, he said many engineering students double major in Spanish, which is a CLAS major. But students with only an engineering major would not qualify for CLAS scholarships that they would be required to fund.
After the meeting, the majority of the students left the with positive feelings toward the differential tuition, he said.
The students realized that more attractive buildings for the University would outweigh the costs of scholarships that some of them would never get to use. Schmidt said.
Schmidt said he would continue to push non-college students to respond to the survey and to understand the proposal.
"It's totally worth it for expanding KU and making it a better institution," he said.
Students from the school will compose a letter to Wilcox outlining specific concerns and recommendations for the tuition increase, he said.
The students plan to be submit it to Wilcox by next Thursday pending approval of the letter from the dean of engineering.

AMC announces third-quarter loss
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Movie theater chain AMC Entertainment Inc. said yesterday it lost almost $60 million during its third quarter, most of that coming from expenses as the company was bought and taken private.
The Kansas City-based company also said in its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it was restating third quarter 2003 numbers to reflect changes in how it accounted for several income and foreign tax issues and leases. For the quarter, the company decreased net earnings from $11.7 million to $5.2 million.
Marquee Holdings Inc. bought AMC for $2 billion. The sale was made final on Dec. 23.
Revenues declined from $471.6 million during the third
For the 13 weeks ending Dec. 30, AMC reported a net loss of $59.2 million. The company said it spent $52 million in merger and acquisition expenses, compared with the almost $5 million it spent in the year-ago period in a fruitless bid for Loews Cineplex.
For the quarter, the company decreased net earnings from $11.7 million to $5.2 million.
quarter last year to $448.9 million. The company said there was no blockbuster this year, as opposed to 2003's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," and the quarter this year didn't include the New Year's Dav holiday.
While the Marquee sale was completed a week before the end of the quarter, the company reported financial numbers as if Marquee had been in control since the beginning of the quarter.
AMC operates 231 theaters with 3,560 screens in the United States, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Marquee is controlled by affiliates of J.P. Morgan Partners LLC and Apollo Management LP.
differential fees even though he helps pay for his tuition. He said the extra money would be worth it if it meant he received a great education from the University that would help him get a job.
The differential tuition would also be a way for students now to take responsibility for future generations of students, Bavsinger said.

"I think it will better the University in the long run," he
Brian Cerney, Chicago freshman, who is thinking about business or journalism as a major, said he was not happy about having to pay a fee for CLAS and a fee for the professional school he chooses.
"I don't like it at all, everyone should have to pay the same amount," Cerney said. "I shouldn't have to pay more just because it's my major."
That's ridiculous," he said. Pottruck, who is a pre-education major, said she doesn't have
a problem paying the differential tuition fee because the University is growing and needs more buildings. The fee seems logical, she said.
Fee
There will be one more informational meeting for students at 5 p.m. tomorrow at 3139 Wescoe Hall.
"It is unfair to have to pay two differential tuitions, but everyone will have to," she said.
She does, however, disagree with paying two differential fees.

ature professor who has supported Summers, as she emerged from the two-hour meeting of about 500 Faculty of Arts and Sciences members on the Harvard campus.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Harvard President Lawrence Summers faced another round of tough questions from disgruntled faculty yesterday, but avoided a no-confidence vote in a meeting participants described as collegial.

Chanay believes it would be profitable for Senate and beneficial to students.
Student Voice has not announced a vice presidential candidate or a date for its kickoff party. Coalition members will spend the next couple of weeks meeting people and finding out what students want from Senate.
Student Voice has already set up a meeting with the Interfraternity Council this week and will discuss how fraternities and sororites can be more involved in Senate.
"Another thing we want to do is increase the number of greek senators," Chanay said. "Right now there is only two seats, we would like to increase that by two or three."
The greek seats are decided by appointment rather than
vote right now. Chanay said that is something they would like to change as well.
"We wouldn't do this if we didn't think we could win," Chanay said. "We have the money and the man power, and we believe we will win this year's election."
Chanay is a freshman senator in the finance committee. He thinks his coalition will be successful.

Q&A
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
C: What is the CLAS going to do with the differential tuition?
Q: Why are fees different prices?
A: Because each school wants different things.
A: The college is going to be using differential for a complete renovation of Wescoe Hall, construction of a new natural science building, an initiation of a college-wide renovation program for existing spaces and planning for a new social sciences building.
Q: What do other schools do with differential tuition?
A: Other schools use differential fees for new programs, more professors, more classes, technology equipment and student support.
Q: Is it fair for students who won't be at the University of Kansas to enjoy the new buildings to pay for them through the differential tuition?
A: Most of the other schools worked hard to make sure that once they started charging there was some benefit right away. In the college's case, they seem to be predicating it on that they are going to be phasing in the $30, with the $10, $20 and $50 plan. Their goal is also to deliver something tangible to students within the first three years.
Q: How important is the student vote?
A: In my mind it is critical. We've required schools to show student support for differential tuition before taking it to the Board of Regents. For example, one of the first projects out of
the tuition enhancement program was spent on equipment for design studios, but the students said they wanted more and pushed the administration for a differential tuition.
Q: Will it pass?
A: It will depend on student turnout. Given the size and diversity of the college, what would be an effective show of support? It's easier with a smaller school where you can get all of the students together. The notion of a differential in the college has drawn concern from some people that see the college as the core education. It's not seen as having a core constituency that a professional school does. Some people phrase it as "It's the foundation" and ask, "How can you add a differential to the foundation?"

WORLD POLITICS
Bush. leaders differ on China ban
BRUSSELS, Belgium President Bush and European leaders settled simmering differences about Iraq but plunged into a troublesome new dispute yesterday over the lifting of an arms embargo against China. Bush warned Congress might retaliate if Europe revokes the 15-year ban.
Bush said lifting the embargo imposed after the bloody 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown on pro-democracy activists, "would change the balance of relations between China and Taiwan and that's of concern." But French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said the ban should go. "It will happen," Schroeder said.
The China quarrel was a jaring note on an otherwise upbeat day of reconciliation, handshakes and hopes for better relations.
"First time I've been called charming in a while," Bush said after a NATO summit. It fit the
tone of the moment, but in truth a reporter had asked how his "major charm offensive" in Europe might win over some of the people who don't like him.
Bush also held a summit with leaders of the 25-nation European Union. "Europe and America have reconnected," EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso told a news conference with Bush.
In a show of unity after bitter disputes, all 26 countries in NATO pledged money, equipment or personnel to train Iraqi security forces, though many of the pledges were modest.
Estonia said it would send one staff officer to Iraq, and $65,000. France offered one officer to help mission coordination at NATO headquarters, and said it would train 1,500 Iraqi military police in Qatar outside NATO's mission.
"The NATO training mission is an important mission, because after all, the success of Iraq depends upon the capacity and the willingness of the Iraqis
to defend their own selves against terrorists," Bush said. "Every contribution matters."
The European Union and the United States, meanwhile, agreed to jointly host a conference to rally and coordinate international aid to Iraq.
Consulting with his harshest critics on Iraq, Bush met with Chirac over dinner Monday night, will travel to Germany on today to visit with Schroeder and meets Russian President Vladimir Putin on tomorrow in Slovakia. Chirac said America's attitude is becoming "more realistic ... It is progress."
Bush's broad unpopularity in Europe because of the U.S.-led invasion was evident in the protests on the streets of Brussels. Police targeted demonstrators with water cannons yesterday, after protesters, which numbered in the hundreds, threw a fire bomb and glass bottles at them near the European Union headquarters.
Many Europeans also are nervous about a possible U.S.
strike against Iran to stop its suspected nuclear weapons program, and Bush gave mixed signals about American intentions.
"This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous," the president said with a slight smile. "Having said that, all options are on the table." He made a similar statement last week, saying a president never says never about military action.
Schroeder said he urged Bush to fully back Europe's diplomatic approach toward Iran.
Europe is trying to persuade Iran to abandon its uranium enrichment program in return for technological, financial and political support. The United States, reluctant to reward Iran, has refused to get involved in the bargaining and has suggested asking the United Nations Security Council to impose sanctions.
"It's in our interests for them not to have a nuclear weapon," Bush said.
"We have to go down the road of negotiations together."
the chancellor told reporters.
Bush also signaled his unhappiness with Putin's retreat from democracy.
Putin, speaking in Moscow, defended his approach.
"It's very important for President Putin to make very clear why he's made some of the decisions he's made, and as well as respect his neighbors," Bush said. "I are confident that can be done in a cordial way."
"Russia chose democracy 14 years ago not to please anyone, but for its own sake, for the sake of the nation and its citizens." Putin said. "Naturally, basic principles and institutions of democracy must be adapted to today's realities of Russian life, to our traditions and history."
Before Bush's trip, Congress sent a clear warning to Europe about lifting the arms embargo on China. In a resounding 411-13 vote, the House said revoking the ban would endanger both Taiwan and U.S. troops stationed in Asia and would harm U.S. relations with Europe.
Hinting at trade retaliation, the House resolution noted that the United States and Europe cooperate on the governmental and industrial level. It said lifting the embargo "would necessitate limitations and constraints in these relationships that would be unwelcome on both sides of the Atlantic."
Bush said he understands that the Europeans are working on a way to address U.S. worries about allowing China to modernize its military with arms and communications, intelligence and surveillance equipment that would give Beijing an edge over Taiwan.
"They know the Congress is concerned," Bush said. "And so they'll try to develop a plan that will ease concerns. Now, whether they can or not, we'll see."
Chirac said security guarantees could be worked out.
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said that abolishing the "erroneous and outdated measure" would help move forward China-EU relations.
Key moments in flight
Fieldhouse
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
The history of Allen Fieldhouse is amazing, but what one might not realize that history is still in the making today.
We have Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles, Mike Lee and Keith Langford right now all seniors leading one of the best basketball teams in the country.
They are making great strides within the Kansas basketball program by keeping traditions, excellence and victories in the fieldhouse.
Even though there have been physical renovations to the fieldhouse in the last 50 years, including changes to the court, locker rooms and scoreboard, the statue of Phog Allen outside of the fieldhouse and the retired jerseys hanging from the rafters inside are reminders of Kansas' basketball roots.
As the March 2 game against Kansas State approaches, 50 years and one day after the first game at Allen Fieldhouse against the Wildcats, we prepare to celebrate the birthday of the fieldhouse.

When 50 Years of the Phog comes out next week, we should not only celebrate 50 years of history and tradition in the Phog, but we should take pride in being Jayhawks and being connected to one of the best programs in the history of college basketball.

GOOD INTENTIONS
RYAN GOOD

Partisan hate doesn't help discussion
I hate labels. Labels force diverse people into large groups that don't accurately describe their memberships. That said, on the American political spectrum I would consider myself quite liberal.
According to many loud-mouthed pundits in this country, these beliefs make me a whiny, bitter Communist filled with apathy for sinners. When did caring about my fellow humans make me any of those things?
These ideas stem from an alarming trend I've noticed lately. This problem is not limited to Washington or cable news — it has recently extended its reach to our campus. This trend is simple — it involves hating everyone. Well, maybe not anyone but certainly those different from ourselves. I'm not audacious enough to believe that this trend is limited to one side of the political spectrum.
The most recent example of this hate and degradation on campus has revolved around the soon-to-come appearance of Ann Coulter, best-selling author and conservative political commentator. Following the announcement, campus was secularized into those who couldn't wait to see her and those who couldn't believe she was coming.
The conflict between these sides climaxed recently when I opened *The University Daily* Kansan to the opinion page and read one of the more libelous pieces of propaganda I've ever seen.
I'm referring to Andrew Fray's column on Monday, "Liberals fear Coulter's appearance on campus." A better headline for this article would have been, "I hate liberals, and I'm proud of it." Fray states that he has become "increasingly numb to the incessant whining" from campus liberals who dare to question Coulter and are "acutely unaware of how their actions and words" affect the United States.
The last time I checked, our Constitution encouraged political dissent. Fray's comments fit into the current political attitudes of many Americans right now. Pundits on both sides of the line have used outrageous ways to discredit the other side instead of civilly questioning the actions or statements of those with whom they disagree. Ann Coulter, Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh, among others, are guilty of this.
Other Americans, like Fray, are starting to throw in their two cents as well. I recently stumbled upon a group on Thefacebook.com called Liberals Suck. Not a good start. The group claims, and I am quoting directly, "While the liberals were out getting PHD's in English and sociology, protesting stipid [sic] things, etc, the Alpha Males (conservatives) were out banging chicks, marrying into money, buying real estate, and starting business' [sic], basically doing what real men do."
In what way does hateful rhetoric help the United States? The answer is simple — it doesn't. Perhaps writing things like this boasts these individuals' egos, or maybe Americans really are just filled with hate.
I think that the answer is not nearly so simple.
I think that the answer is not nearly so simple. The United States is a bipartite society. Citizens believe that you are right or wrong, left or right, and there is no in between. Our president has reinforced this mindset by telling the world that you are with us or against us.
When did life become so simple? I've never faced a problem in my life that had two easily discernable solutions. Why do we let finite dualities serve as our only model for political discourse?
The average person is smart enough to not fall into this trap. But those who buy into this philosophy tend to have the loudest voice. Don't think that's the right direction for our country to head in? Don't agree with me that the hateful voices will continue to be loudest? Please, prove me wrong.

Children left behind; program needs change
The No Child Left Behind Act has sparked debate about its effectiveness ever since President George W. Bush signed it on Jan. 8, 2002.
The plan is a noble effort by the U.S. government to make sure that every child receives an equal and valuable public education and to hold states accountable for the quality of their schools. But, in practice, the plan is neither a step forward nor a step back, but a sidestep at best.
The plan uses standardized testing to gather information on the equality and progress of each school. The problem with standardized testing is that schools are sometimes unnecessarily penalized for unavoidable factors that obscure their results.
For instance, mentally handicapped children are unable to perform at their grade level as determined by their age, but they are required to take the
Three years after Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act into law, the program has proven to be less effective as originally intended. Though it has potential, addressing problems in the system will be the only way to improve the public schools.
decrease programs to keep kids off the streets after school, the quality of facilities at the school and the teachers' salaries.
Teachers who have tolerated the frustration of "teaching the test" may quit because they cannot afford to live on their salaries, forcing them to leave their noble profession. Public schools are a good investment in the future of our country, and why not pay our educators what they deserve for having one of the most
same test as every other child their age. Because of this, test scores come in lower than expected for the No Child Left Behind standard, and these schools are threatened. The schools are required to improve an adequate amount each year, according to the No Child Left Behind Web site, www.ed.gov. If they do not, funding will be revoked.
Allowing teachers to have their own flare is important in the personal relationship that develops between them and their students. This relationship makes it easier to teach and to learn.
This plan seems unfair because if students are doing poorly on standardized tests, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are not learning. Some teachers refuse to "teach for the test" and opt to teach children other equally, if not more, valuable information.
The other factor to consider is that taking away funding will never improve the situation for children. Taking away funding will

Funding is necessary to keep schools up, and if they are doing poorly, they should receive more funding, but in a controlled manor. That way schools are not tempted to perform worse to get funding, in order to help improve their programs.
ment they know. They would have to be bused to schools farther away from home in a new and unfamiliar environment. This will make it harder to learn, and schools will be overcrowded, thus increasing the problem.
Closing a bad school will only create more problems. Students will be forced to leave the comfortable environ-
Instead of, or in addition to standardized testing, perhaps the No Child Left Behind plan should consider school visits, where representatives from each state can understand the dynamics of each school to better understand test performance and quality of education.
Another solution would be to attract better educators with a higher salary along with stricter education policies, such as requiring higher standards for receiving teaching certificates.
With a few changes to No Child Left Behind, the program could have promise to create a truly great public schools system in the United States.

Watch out for liberal extremism
As the saying goes: If you can't beat 'em, try to make 'em look bad.
A liberal research institute, Center for American Progress and its college-oriented spin-off, Campus Progress, debuted a monstrous advertisement last week in 30 college newspapers, including The University Daily Kansan, aimed at showing students "the radical views of leading conservative icons." The ad featured extreme statements taken out of context from conservative talking heads and implied that these views represented "conservatives in Washington," though none of the people featured were politicians and none are based in Washington.
The ad's point seems to be to paint the conservative movement as one characterized by extremism. I suppose that's an effective strategy, but it certainly isn't honest. Just as easily, one could take extreme statements from liberals and publicize them in an attempt to make liberals look extreme and hateful.
For instance, Howard Dean has said made some interesting comments. In the wake of the Democratic whipping of '04, the Democratic National Committee named him the new chairman of the Democratic Party. For a man defined by an emotional outburst and a complete political collapse during the primary season, that's a big role.
To send the message that he is a divider, not a uniter, Dean said on Jan. 29 in Manhattan, N.Y., "I hate Republicans and everything they stand for." Those are strong words from a chairman who's party desperately needs some Republican voters to switch sides. CNN's exit polls reported 37 percent of all voters in 2004 identified with the Republican Party, so Dean hates just over a third of all Americans. Not only that, but unlike Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly or James Dobson, Dean actually is a politician. I'm glad my party isn't lead by a hateful screamer.
Michael Moore is another great source for anger and hatefulness from the left. In 2002, Moore told a reporter for the Arcata Eye in Arcata, Calif., "F— all these small businesses — f— 'em all! Bring in the chains. The small businesspeople are the rednecks that run the town and suppress the people. F— 'em all. That's how I feel." So much for being a champion of the blue-collar worker.
Then, in 2003, Moore sent a letter to a German newspaper and told everyone what he really thought of America: "Should such an ignorant people lead the world? How did it come to this in the first place? Eighty-two percent of us don't even have a passport! Just a handful can speak a language other than English." Presumably, if you don't have a passport, you're ignorant too. Maybe more of us would have passports if we had the kind of money Moore wields.
Then there's Ward Churchill, a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado. Churchill's anti-American fervor makes Moore look like the Statue of Liberty. In his essay "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens" Churchill said that the United States deserved 9/11 and that the perpetrators were right to kill thousands of Americans. He even went so far as to say, "In sum one can discern a certain optimism — it might even be call humanitarianism — embedded in the thinking of those who presided over the... actions conducted on Sept. 11."
I could say that Churchill's statements and the statements of Dean and Moore, represent American liberalism or "liberals in Washington." But that would be cheap and dishonest. Those statements represent extremism and hatefulness. Center for American Progress' attempt to recruit voters by exploiting extremism and playing with the "politics of fear" is nothing more than a desperate attempt to scare students into becoming librarians. I hope we're not so gullible.

50 YEARS OF THE PHOG
Phog Allen's son, Milton Allen, shoots the ball in a mid-1930s basketball game.
Half a century STRONG
Allen Fieldhouse has a lot to celebrate after 50 years of success
No matter who you are, where you are from or where you may be going, if you are a part of the University of Kansas, you are connected to one of the most elite basketball programs in the country. You are a part of one of the most tradition rich, passionate and spirited fan bases of any university.
Perhaps the craze started with the legendary Phog Allen, coach of the Kansas Jayhawks for 39 seasons and also the most dominating coach in college-basketball history. In his 39 seasons, Allen won 590 games and led Kansas to the World Championship in 1952.
Allen Fieldhouse, named after Forrest "Phog" Allen, is the home of the Jawahirs, and a time capsule of the traditions and successes of the Kansas basketball program. The building, a landmark on campus, is located on Naismith Drive. The street's name is attributed to James Naismith, the inventor of basketball who was also a University graduate student and the first basketball coach at the University in 1866.
This year, Allen Fieldhouse turms 50 years old. The history, atmosphere and tradition of the fieldhouse are just some of the reasons why the aging building is arguably the greatest place to watch a college basketball game. People come hundreds of miles to supply step inside the doors of the fieldhouse to综合征 the aura of the Phog.
The venue is one of the most challenging places for opposing teams to visit. The Missouri Tigers and Kansas State Wildcats would probably agree. Kansas is a basketball powerhouse, especially when it's playing at home with fans behind it.
More than 50 years ago, before the idea of the fieldhouse
was even conceived, Jayhawk basketball was played in Hoch Auditorium, or present-day Budig Hall. In 1955, the walls of the fieldhouse went up, consisting of 650,000 bricks and a seating capacity of 16,300. The first game to be played in the fieldhouse was on March 1, 1955 when the Jayhawks defeated the Kansas State Wildcats 77-66.
ed the Kansas State Wildcats. Allen Fieldhouse is most closely associated with basketball. In its earlier days, the fieldhouse was home to track, football, volleyball and even softball. Numerous famous faces like that of Robert Kennedy have spoken in the Phog as well.
Aside from the history of the actual building, the basketball history of the fieldhouse rises above the rest. Kansas is the alma mater of basketball legends including Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning and Lynette Woodard. Then there are the more recent superstars like Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich, both 2003 graduates. The Kansas basketball program has been the home of winning coaches like James Naismith, Phog Allen, Ted Owens, Larry Brown and do we dare mention Roy Williams?
Kansas men's basketball has seen seven NCAA Championship games since 1939, and has brought home the National Championship twice, once in 1952, and the most memorable in 1988 when Danny Manning was a member of the team.
Behind the talent of all Kansas basketball teams is a devoted and passionate group of fans and supporters. Hundreds of students camp days, and sometimes weeks before a game in hopes of getting a good seat to cheer the Jayhawks to victory. Until the 1990s, camping for a basketball game had a different meaning. Students would pitch tents and air mattresses
With thousands of enthusiastic fans roaring in the fieldhouse, home losses are rare. In fact, in 1998 when Kansas Basketball turned 100 years old, the Jayhawks rallied to win 62 consecutive games at the fieldhouse. So what makes watching a game in Allen Fieldhouse so special? Most students and fans would tell you that the traditions that go on in the fieldhouse during games are rituals that no one but a lavahawk fan can ever understand.
and literally camp out all night and day on the front lawn of the fieldhouse in order to watch the Jayhawks rock their opponents.
Maybe what makes the experience so exhilarating is the deafening noise elicited by a full house. It could be singing the alma mater before a game or the newspaper confetti that covers every student in attendance after the team introductions. It could be the Rock Chalk Chant or waving the wheat. Maybe the atmosphere of a KU basketball game comes from the sign hanging from the rafters that reads:
"Pay Heed, All Who Enter: BEWARE OF THE PHOG."
Once you are connected to Kansas basketball, you're a Jayhawk forever, whether you're a fan, coach or player. Perhaps the sense of family at the fieldhouse is what brought both Danny Manning and Lynette Woodard back to the University after their collegiate basketball careers as Jayhawks. Woodard became a part of the women's coaching staff in 1999, and then served as women's interim coach in 2004. Manning is now the Director of Basketball Operations, and has been a part of the men's coaching staff since current coach Bill Self arrived in Allen Fieldhouse.

Ladies' night
Seniors prepare for final home game
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIER
Playing a home game against a top-10 team that sits atop the Big 12 Conference should make tonight's game with No. 6 Baylor the most memorable of the season.
For at least two other Jayhawks, though, the showdown will represent something much more significant.
To seniors Aquanita Burras and Blair Waltz, tonight will embody the grandest of finales: Senior Night.
Baylor enters the game with a 21-3 record and an 11-2 mark in the Big 12.
As the conference's top team comes to Lawrence, emotions will run high for Burras and Waltz, who will play the final game of their college careers at 7 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.
Although the attempt might prove to be impossible, Burras said she would try to put aside the sentimental aspect and focus on the business at hand.
"Even though it's senior night, I can't get my emotions up high and get too pumped up," Burras said.
Following her freshman year at Central Arizona Community College during the 2001-02 season, Burras transferred to Kansas for her remaining three years of eligibility and has found a home in the jayhawk starting lineup. She has been a mainstay since
her arrival, and tonight's match-up will be her 82nd consecutive start.
During her tenure as a Jayhawk, the 5-foot-9 guard from Colorado Springs, Colo., has acquired a reputation for hard work and unrivaled defensive pressure.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said Burras made an immediate name for herself during the early stages of the season.
"She's been a defensive leader since we got here," Henrickson said. "I told her the first week of practice that she might be the best on-ball defender I've ever coached."
Henrickson credits both Burras and Waltz with showing the type of leadership expected from seasoned seniors, especially during a transitional period in the program.
Burras leads the team in steals and sets the defensive tone on a team that has held every Big 12 opponent under its scoring average.
"They might have different roles, but both have important roles," Henrickson said. "Both, from day one, have bought in and have tried to say the right thing and do the right thing in the face of all of this change."
Although Burras has faced only the prospect of adapting to a new system, Waltz has found herself in an entirely different scenario than her previous three years.
Jayhawk, the guard/forward averaged 17 starts a season. This season she has started only two games.
In her first three seasons as a
"How she has handled it speaks volumes to how she'll handle adversity the rest of her life." Henrickson said.
Waltz is the only four-year senior on Kansas' roster, but has not received a great degree of media attention because of her diminished playing role on this year's squad. Still, Henrickson heaps praise on the work ethic of the 6-foot Leawood native.
"Blair isn't in the stories a lot in terms of minutes, but that kid comes right every day to work hard," Henrickson said. "You can't discount or under-appreciate a lady like that."
Bouncing off a 67-53 victory against Nebraska, the Kansas seniors will try to fuse their emotion with budding confidence to pull off the unset.
Standing in their way are the Baylor Bears, who have won eight straight games. *
Even though Henrickson's team, 12-12 (5-8 Big 12), may seem vastly over-matched on paper, the coach said she knew that anything could happen with this team and at home.
"We're foolish enough to think we've got a chance every single night," Henrickson said. "Certainly to have the opponent to play at home will be a great opportunity for us."

For Kansas, schedule helps seed
Despite the men's basketball team losing three in a row, there are two reasons to keep the faith: It is not March, and the Jayhawks have played a tough strength of schedule.
After getting flak from the national media for a soft nonconference schedule and falling in the polls for winning games that were too close, the teams the Jayhawks faced are making noise.
Vermont, St. Joseph's, Nevada, Pacific, Louisiana-Lafayette, Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Kentucky are leading in their conferences and are on pace for automatic NCAA Tournament bids. South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Villanova are on the bubble, and will make it to the tournament if they have strong finishes. TCU, with a 16-10 record, is a likely participant in the NIT.
The Jajhawks' nonconference schedule is a big reason they top the RPI and strength of schedule rankings, according to http://www.kenpom.com, an RPI site updated daily. To rank teams, RPI, the Ratings Per Index ranking system, takes one-fourth winning percentage, plus one-half strength of schedule, plus one-fourth opponents' strength of schedule. In the formula, strength of schedule is the average winning percentage of opponents. New this season, the RPI factors in the location of games. Road victories and home losses count as 1.4, while home games won and road losses count as 6. Last year, every game counted as 1. The NCAA Tournament committee takes a good look at RPI before making its selections.
Coach Bill Self said he expected Kansas' nonconference schedule to boost its seeding on selection Sunday.
"If you are ranked number one in the RPI, you should get a pretty good seeding in the tournament," he said.

Guard reflects on losses
BY KELLIE ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
The reason Kansas lost at Oklahoma on Monday was clear to sophomore guard J.R. Giddens.
"We didn't come out and play as hard as we could, we didn't have any of this," Giddens said while pointing to his chest. "No heart. That's why we lost."
The Jayhawks fell behind by as many as 19 points in the first half and appeared to be completely outmaned by the Sooners.
DUNN DALLAS 4
The team's poor start was surprising, considering it was coming off back-to-back losses and needed to win the game to stay atop the Big 12 Conference standings.
"We knew they were going to be at home and come out with a lot of intensity," Giddens said. "We didn't match that intensity."
The loss is especially painful for Giddens because he is from Oklahoma City, Okla. A break-out game, in front of family and close

friends, could have done wonders for his confidence following his failed attempts at three-pointers in games against Texas Tech and Iowa State.
Though Giddens had an improved game, scoring nine points that included a clutch three-pointer to pull Kansas within one point in the second half, Kansas was never able to get over the hump.
Giddens said erasing a doubledigit lead showed some heart, and the team showed toughness in victories against Georgia Tech and Kentucky earlier this year. He said the Jayhawks would recapture that kind of effort in upcoming games.
In fact, he guaranteed it.
Kansas players and coaches agreed with Giddens. All indicated that there was time to bounce back.
"I think we're a tough team, we're just going through some things right now," he said. "We're not done. The Jayhawks aren't done. You can quote J.R. Giddens right there."
The Jayhawks have not given maximum effort in several games this year, nearly every game has gone down to the wire.
In home games against Nebraska and Texas A&M, Kansas squeaked by with narrow victories, and there
seemed to be no reason to panic. Now that the Jayhawks have lost three straight close games, maybe they will follow Giddens' advice and show the heart needed to get back on track.
"We've been in this position before," senior guard Keith Langford said. "This team has always responded to adversity well, and this time we're going to have to respond to it again. Luckily there are other games to play and we'll just have to focus on where we need to be."
Kansas coach Bill Self agreed, and said even though Kansas was playing its worst basketball of the year, there was more than enough time to improve.
"I think we're a ways off," Self said. "We've had some bad games and some bad halves, but we normally bounce back and play pretty well the next game. This is the worst 48-hour period we've had. We can get it back, but we need to get on the practice floor a lot before Sunday."

BIKING
Shop lets students make repairs

Outdoor Pursuits offers tools, space for bike maintenance
Editor's note: This is a regular series that profiles recreational activities in which students take part. If you hunt, fish, climb rocks, go canoeing or are an expert speelunker, The University Daily Kansan would like to share your story and perhaps take part. Please contact Caleb Regan by calling the Kansan
sports desk at 864-4858 or by e-mailing him at creson@banson.com
Anyone at the University of Kansas who pursues mountain biking as a hobby, and especially those who ride at Clinton Lake, will tell you that biking on the trails around Lawrence causes serious wear and tear to any bike.
To help serious bikers, the Outdoor Pursuits program at the Student Recreation Fitness Center now offers a self-service bike shop downstairs in the outdoor rental division.
Every spring and fall, hundreds of students head out to trails with
mountain bikes of every quality to enjoy the trails at Clinton Lake or along the Wakarusa River. But before and during every season, those same students spend maintenance money that they can save if they know how to perform repairs on their own.
The recreation center opened up its self-service bike repair shop this fall. The center equips all students who have a valid KUID with more than $2,000 in tools, vices and other equipment needed to repair any bike. There is a truing stand (used to mount wheels to check the alignment and balance of a wheel), a vice for inverting a bike to work on it and
all combinations of wrenches and other tools one might use to perform common repairs.
Whether it's a street model 10-speed or an advanced model made to endure the wear and tear caused by logs, ramps, rocks or braking while rolling downhill at break-neck speed, the repair shop offers bikers the opportunity to make repairs for free.
One catch is the shop offers no consultation. Students are provided with all the equipment, but the rest is up to the owner of the bike. Rike parts must be bought and brought in to the shop.

Manning is now the Director of Basketball Operations, and has been a part of the men's coaching staff since current coach Bill Self arrived in Allen Fieldhouse.

Seniors prepare for final home game
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Playing a home game against a top-10 team that sits atop the Big 12 Conference should make tonight's game with No. 6 Baylor the most memorable of the season.
For at least two other Jayhawks, though, the showdown will represent something much more significant.
To seniors Aquanita Burras and Blair Waltz, tonight will embody the grandest of finales: Senior Night.
Baylor enters the game with a 21-3 record and an 11-2 mark in the Big 12.
As the conference's top team comes to Lawrence, emotions will run high for Burras and Waltz, who will play the final game of their college careers at 7 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.
Although the attempt might prove to be impossible, Burras said she would try to put aside the sentimental aspect and focus on the business at hand.
"Even though it's senior night, I can't get my emotions up high and get too pumped up," Burras said.
Following her freshman year at Central Arizona Community College during the 2001-02 season, Burras transferred to Kansas for her remaining three years of eligibility and has found a home in the Jayhawk starting lineup. She has been a mainstay since
her arrival, and tonight's match-up will be her 82nd consecutive start.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said Burras made an immediate name for herself during the early stages of the season.
"She's been a defensive leader since we got here," Henrickson said. "I told her the first week of practice that she might be the best on-ball defender I've ever coached."
Burras leads the team in steals and sets the defensive tone on a team that has held every Big 12 opponent under its scoring average.
Henrickson credits both Burras and Waltz with showing the type of leadership expected from seasoned seniors, especially during a transitional period in the program.
"They might have different roles, but both have important roles," Henrickson said. "Both, from day one, have bought in and have tried to say the right thing and do the right thing in the face of all of this change."
Although Burras has faced only the prospect of adapting to a new system, Waltz has found herself in an entirely different scenario than her previous three years.
In her first three seasons as a
Jayhawk, the guard/forward averaged 17 starts a season. This season she has started only two games.
"How she has handled it speaks volumes to how she'll handle adversity the rest of her life." Henrickson said.
Waltz is the only four-year senior on Kansas' roster, but has not received a great degree of media attention because of her diminished playing role on this year's squad. Still, Henrickson heaps praise on the work ethic of the 6-foot Leawood native.
"Blair isn't in the stories a lot in terms of minutes, but that kid comes right every day to work hard," Henrickson said. "You can't discount or under-appreciate a lady like that."
Bouncing off a 67-53 victory against Nebraska, the Kansas seniors will try to fuse their emotion with 'budding confidence to pull off the upset.
Standing in their way are the Baylor Bears, who have won eight straight games. *
Even though Henrickson's team, 12-12 (5-8 Big 12), may seem vastly over-matched on paper, the coach said she knew that anything could happen with this team and at home.
"We're foolish enough to think we've got a chance every single night," Henrickson said. "Certainly to have the opponent to play at home will be a great opportunity for us."

For Kansas schedule helps seed
Despite the men's basketball team losing three in a row, there are two reasons to keep the faith: It is not March, and the Jayhawks have played a tough strength of schedule.
After getting flak from the national media for a soft nonconference schedule and falling in the polls for winning games that were too close, the teams the lavhawks faced are making noise.
Vermont, St. Joseph's, Nevada, Pacific, Louisiana-Lafayette, Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Kentucky are leading in their conferences and are on pace for automatic NCAA Tournament bids. South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Villanova are on the bubble, and will make it to the tournament if they have strong finishes. TCU, with a 16-10 record, is a likely participant in the NIT.
The jayhawks' nonconference schedule is a big reason they top the RPI and strength of schedule rankings, according to http://www.kenpom.com, an RPI site updated daily. To rank teams, RPI, the Ratings Per Index ranking system, takes one-fourth winning percentage, plus one-half strength of schedule, plus one-fourth opponents' strength of schedule. In the formula, strength of schedule is the average winning percentage of opponents. New this season, the RPI factors in the location of games. Road victories and home losses count as 1.4, while home games won and road losses count as .6. Last year, every game counted as 1. The NCAA Tournament committee takes a good look at RPI before making its selections.
Coach Bill Self said he expected Kansas' nonconference schedule to boost its seeding on selection Sunday.
"If you are ranked number one in the RPI, you should get a pretty good seeding in the tournament," he said.

Guard reflects on losses
BY KELLI ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The reason Kansas lost at Oklahoma on Monday was clear to sohomore guard I.R. Giddens.
"We didn't come out and play as hard as we could, we didn't have any of this," Giddens said while pointing to his chest. "No heart. That's why we lost."
4
The Jayhawks fell behind by as many as 19 points in the first half and appeared to be completely outmaned by the Sooners.
The team's poor start was surprising, considering it was coming off back-to-back losses and needed to win the game to stay atop the Big 12 Conference standings.
"We knew they were going to be at home and come out with a lot of intensity," Giddens said. "We didn't match that intensity."
The loss is especially painful for Giddens because he is from Oklahoma City, Okla. A break-out game, in front of family and close

friends, could have done wonders for his confidence following his failed attempts at three-pointers in games against Texas Tech and Iowa State.
Though Giddens had an improved game, scoring nine points that included a clutch three-pointer to pull Kansas within one point in the second half, Kansas was never able to get over the hump.
Giddens said erasing a double-digit lead showed some heart, and the team showed toughness in victories against Georgia Tech and Kentucky earlier this year. He said the Jayhawks would recapture that kind of effort in upcoming games.
In fact, he guaranteed it.
"I think we're a tough team, we're just going through some things right now," he said. "We're not done. The Jayhawks aren't done. You can figure LR. Giddens right there."
Kansas players and coaches agreed with Giddens. All indicated that there was time to bounce back.
The Jayhawks have not given maximum effort in several games this year, nearly every game has gone down to the wire.
In home games against Nebraska and Texas A&M, Kansas squeaked by with narrow victories, and there
seemed to be no reason to panic. Now that the Jayhawks have lost three straight close games, maybe they will follow Giddens' advice and show the heart needed to get back on track.
"We've been in this position before," senior guard Keith Langford said. "This team has always responded to adversity well, and this time we're going to have to respond to it again. Luckily there are other games to play and we'll just have to focus on where we need to be."
Kansas coach Bill Self agreed, and said even though Kansas was playing its worst basketball of the year, there was more than enough time to improve.
"I think we're a ways off." Self said. "We've had some bad games and some bad halves, but we normally bounce back and play pretty well the next game. This is the worst 48-hour period we've had. We can get it back, but we need to get on the practice floor a lot before Sunday."

Anyone at the University of Kansas who pursues mountain biking as a hobby, and especially those who ride at Clinton Lake, will tell you that biking on the trails around Lawrence causes serious wear and tear to any bike.
To help serious bikers, the Outdoor Pursuits program at the Student Recreation Fitness Center now offers a self-service bike shop downstairs in the outdoor rental division.
Every spring and fall, hundreds of students head out to trails with
The recreation center opened up its self-service bike repair shop this fall. The center equips all students who have a valid KUID with more than $2,000 in tools, vices and other equipment needed to repair any bike. There is a truing stand (used to mount wheels to check the alignment and balance of a wheel), a vice for inverting a bike to work on it and
mountain bikes of every quality to enjoy the trails at Clinton Lake or along the Wakarusa River. But before and during every season, those same students spend maintenance money that they can save if they know how to perform repairs on their own.
all combinations of wrenches and other tools one might use to perform common repairs.
Whether it's a street model 10-speed or an advanced model made to endure the wear and tear caused by logs, ramps, rocks or braking while rolling downhill at break-neck speed, the repair shop offers bikers the opportunity to make repairs for free.
One catch is the shop offers no consultation. Students are provided with all the equipment, but the rest is up to the owner of the bike. Bike parts must be bought and brought in to the shop.

Coach Bill Self yells at the Jayhawks to get back on defense during the first half of Kansas' game against Oklahoma. The Sooners led by 15 points at the break and held on to win 71-63 Monday night at Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Okla.
Back in December, when Kansas coach Bill Self announced Christian Moody would start for the Jayhawks, most fans were confused.
Now, without Moody in the lineup, it seems like the rest of the Kansas team is confused.
In Moody's absence, Kansas has been unable to pass the ball to All American candidate Wayne Simien.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
"When your best player isn't given the opportunity to do the things that a best player should do, I think we have to look at what we are doing because that is inexcusable in my eyes." Self said.
Mooody, junior forward, has a staph infection in his left knee, which has caused him to miss the lavhawks' last two games.
Moody has been exposed as a major contributor through his two-game absence.
He may not average a doubledouble every game or be able to hold an opposing team's best player to a season low, but after two straight games without Moody, his absence is obvious to teammates.
"It's not the reason we lost, but it definitely made a difference," senior guard Aaron Miles said. "I think Christian brings experience."
Mooody understands his role in the team and when he is in the game the Jayhawks' offense flows smoother.
The most valuable element of Moody's game is his interior passing. Whether it's Moody or freshmen C.J. Giles, Darnell Jackson or Sasha Kaun playing in the low post, part of the job is getting the ball to senior forward Simien.
During Moody's two-game absence, Simien has taken just 20 shots. He was averaging more than 13 shots per game but took just seven during Saturday's loss to Iowa State.
Simien said he is confident in senior guards Miles and Keith Langford to get him the ball.
"I know they don't have anything against me," he said.
The problem may not be with the guards. Without Moody there is a decline in the number of shot opportunities for Simien.
"I don't know why some of the things are happening the way they are," Moody said. "We definitely need to do a better job of getting the ball to Wayne."
During the first half on Monday's game, Self used Giles, Jackson and Kaun to fill the majority of Moody's minutes. But in the second half, he played freshman forward Alex Galindo for 19 minutes.
Part of that was good Oklahoma defense, but the other part was the inability of players to get the ball to Simien in the post.
Using the smaller lineup, the Jayhawks pulled within one point. But still, Simien shot the ball only seven times.
Self said that Moody's absence was noticeable, especially when it came to feeding Big Dub.
"It hurt us a lot because he is a post player who can feed the ball to Wayne," he said.

ROWING
Rowers help out community
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Though added practice hours consume most of the women's rowing team's free time, its members still find time to get involved with the community. Some rowers take on the responsibility themselves, but other activities are done as a team.
Last fall the team was invited to Sunflower Elementary School, 2521 Inverness Drive. The third- and fourth-grade students were studying the Olympics, and Martha Wenzel, a teacher at Sunflower, thought it would be nice to have athletes from one of the sports that compete in the Olympics to come out and talk to the children.
"I think it was a good idea because it got them thinking about other sports that are in the Olympics," senior rover Erin Hennessey said. "Most of them were not familiar with rowing."
The team set up four different stations in which children could participate. One of the stations included the rowing video from last season, which is sometimes used for recruitment. After the showing the children could ask questions about what they saw, Hennessey said.
"They would recognize our faces on the video and then want to ask questions during it," she said. "They were just so eager to learn."
Another station got the children more involved by making them do training and calisthenics, while a third area allowed them to practice rowing techniques. The final station defined all of the rowing terminology.
"The stations were a good idea because it showed how much motivation and dedication we have," junior rower Jennifer Ebel said.
Another activity at Sunflower takes place every other Wednesday for Ebel. She has been a Girl Scout leader for the past two years in Lawrence.
"Coming out here, I just missed being around kids," Ebel said.
She participated in Girl Scouts for seven years and thought this would be a good opportunity for her to get involved. Every other week she attends an hour-long meeting where participants organize activities for the troop. For her next project she will help organize a tea party for the children.
"It's been a blast," Ebel said. "I like getting to know the girls and just hearing about their day."
Senior coxswain LeAnna Kemp
works with a younger crowd as well,
but at the high-school level. She is a
part of Young Life, a nondenominational ministry at Lawrence Free
State High School, 4700 Overland Drive. The group meets once a week
on Monday nights to sing songs,
play games and listen to a message.
The group is mostly led by college
students.
"I wanted to lead in college," she said about enjoying her experience at Park Hill South High School. "It had a huge affect on my life, and I hope to have someone else experience the same effect."
She said while helping high school students she realized her life affected them.
"It has really made me conscious of my actions." Kemp said. "It has taught me a lot of responsibility. I'm hanging around 16- and 17-year-old kids, and I have to be careful of what I do. You have to remember that you're a leader to them."
Kemp and Ebel say they have realized that a lot of time goes into these leadership positions, especially with rowing.
"You definitely have to plan for it," Ebel said. "You have to be organized. But all of this is definitely worth it."
Most of the rowers' community
service takes place in the fall when the team is less busy. During the past semester the girls took turns making breakfast at 6 a.m. every Tuesday at Jubilee Cafe in First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St. The team would sign up five members each time. Hennessey said all members participated at least once.
But with weight training in the mornings it's difficult to be as involved.
Besides Jubilee Cafe, the team always participates in Adopt A Family in December. The team usually collects money as a group and then a few girls shop for the family, but this time it was different.
The seniors put together a spaghetti feed and invited the whole team, coaches, family and friends to come. The event raised more than $500, which all went toward Adopt A Family.
The team hopes to do something similar to that every year, Hennessey said.
The rowers also hope to keep up their involvement in the community even when they're in season.
"We want to do as much community service as possible," sophomore rower Jelayna Da Silva said.

Cornhuskers upset Cowboys
Loss ties team with Kansas atop Big 12 Conference
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LINCOLN, Neb. — Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton had no difficulty assessing his fourth-ranked Cowboys' performance in a 74-67 loss to Nebraska last night.
Dave Weaver/ASSOCIATED PRESS
66 57 PERIOD Neb
The Oklahoma State bench watches the final minutes of their 74-67 loss to Nebraska last night in Lincoln, Neb.
"I told the squad this ranks as one of the 10 worst performances of any team I've had that's any good," Sutton said. "It was just a bad game, and it came at a bad time."
Not only did the loss drop the Cowboys into a tie with No. 8 Kansas atop the Big 12 standings, it could damage their hopes of a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Oklahoma State is at Kansas on Sunday.
Joe McCray scored 17 of his 22 points in the second half and
Aleks Maric added a career-high 15 to lead Nebraska to its first win over a top five opponent since a 98-91 victory against No. 3 Missouri in the 1994 Big Eight tournament.
Oklahoma State, which averaged 82 points in winning its last six games by an average of 15, was held under 70 points for only the fourth time this season.
The Cowboys (20-4, 10-3 Big 12) sloppy effort saw them commit 19 turnovers and go eight straight possessions without scoring to start the second half.
The Huskers (12-12, 5-8) used a 12-0 run from a 32-32 halftime tie to break the game open and the Cowboys never got closer than the final margin.
Nebraska's biggest victory in coach Barry Collier's five years came on the same day a columnist for the Omaha World-Herald, the state's largest newspaper, called for his firing.
"We don't pay a lot of attention to that," Collier said.

Even though eight of Kansas' nonconference games were in Lawrence, with another in Kemper Arena, the game against Kentucky proved that Kansas could win away from home. Kansas' triumph in Lexington, Ky., ranks among the best road victories by any team this season. Even if you compare it to the rest of the country, no one but Iowa State and Maryland can match it.
The Jayhawks' four losses are not as flashy as Illinois' zero, but their strength of schedule makes them more dangerous come tournament time.
Illinois has the 46th-ranked strength of schedule. Gonzaga is the only team Illinois played that is leading its conference.
Defeating Wake Forest at home is the Fighting Illini's best victory. To put that in perspective, Florida State also defeated Wake at home. It's a good victory for Illinois, but not a big deal. Their best road victories came at overrated Michigan State, which is 0-2 against ranked opponents, and at Wisconsin. Breaking the Badgers' 38-game home winning streak was impressive, but Wisconsin is not nearly as good as Kentucky.
According to "Bracketology" on ESPN.com, Kansas' schedule contains 13 teams predicted to make the NCAA Tournament, and South Carolina is one of the last four teams out. KU opponents constitute 20 percent of the field. Illinois' schedule has seven.
Bracketology is a prediction of the NCAA Tournament field by ESPN analyst Joe Lunardi, whose
accuracy has been outstanding in the past.
If you don't think strength of schedule matters in the NCAA Tournament, think again. Playing good teams early makes it easier to play good teams later.
Eleven of the last 20 Final Four teams had a strength of schedule of 13 or better. Of those 20, only Oklahoma State made it with a strength of schedule above 40. Consider that St. Joseph's was the one seed in its bracket, and its strength of schedule was also higher than 40.
When filling out your bracket next month, remember that the schedule does make a difference, and the Jayhawks have played a tough one.

Repairs
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Katy Sharp, the outdoor pursuits program manager at the recreation center, said that the policy had to do with liability.
"We provide all the tools and equipment, but can't give you any advice or help." Sharp said. "This is to prevent us from being liable in the event of something going wrong."
Nic Swindler, Prairie Village senior, said the importance of having a consultation depended on the severity of the damage being repaired.
"It's pretty easy to get online and look up how to repair things when it's not complicated and you know exactly what the problem is," he said. "I just got online and found out how to mount a wheel and check to see if it's spinning true in 15 minutes.
But Swindler said he could see both sides of the issue.
"If they offered consultation it could turn into a full-blown bike mechanic shop, repairing Huffy Schwinns and other bikes used for everyday purposes," Swindler said. A lot of people use trails and don't know how to make bike repairs, he said.
Swindler said that he had to make repairs to his bike every spring. Now some of those minor repairs can be free of charge.
Sharp said the center was open whenever the outdoor rental division was open, including Saturdays from noon to 2 p.m. and Sundays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. To use the center, students must take their bike and KUID to the loading docks in back of the recreation center and ring the doorbell.

Woodard, who played at Kansas from 1978-81, joined Clyde Drexler, Jerry Colangelo, Bill Sharman, Maurice Stokes and Drazen Dalpagic in the Class of 2004. Woodard and the others were inducted on Sept. 10, 2004, in Springfield, Mass.
Woodard was a four-time All Big Eight Conference selection and three-time MVP of the Big Eight Tournament. Woodard scored in double figures in 138 of her 139 games and was the first women inducted into the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame.
During her career, Woodard averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds per game. Her career total of 3,649 points rank second to Pete Maravich's 3,667 for the most points ever scored by a college basketball player, male or female.

She was the co-captain of the 1984 women's basketball Olympic team, which she led to a gold medal. In 1985, Woodard became even more famous for becoming the first woman to play for the Harlem Globetrotters.
In 1999, she came back to Kansas to work as an assistant coach for five years, before serving as the Jayhawks' interim coach for the end of last season.

▼ HOROSCOPES
+ Today's Birthday. An unusual assignment pays well, and helps you develop the skills that lead to the perfect career for you. Have faith, and take control.
- Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8.
A moment of perfect bliss is marred by a choice you have to make. Will it be caffeinated or decaf? Mocha or latte?
You can do this.
- Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6.
Once you get the deal settled, you'll have more time to relax. Don't do that before the check clears, however. There'll be last-minute complications.
- Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8. While you're in the mood, learn how to be more practical. You can fix up your place yourself, and save a lot of money.
- Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6. It's good to get your treaty a every time once in a while, but don't spend so much that you have to take an extra
job to pay for it. Not unless, of course,
it's something you really want!
- Lee (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
You'll have to focus more attention on work for a while. The more you do, the more you make, and that is a good plan.
- Virge (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Today is a 6.
You'll be on a neatness rampage for the next couple of days. Be careful not to make a bigger mess than you had when you started.
- Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7.
The main way to get your creative muse to show up is to tell a joke. Your sense of humor helps you find the answer to a tough question.
- Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
Conditions are not easy for romance,
but it does seem that you could get a
job that pays more. Is a move
required? Only go if you must.
+ **Sagittarius** (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7. You're about to be held accountable for every little thing you've said or done in the past few weeks. Stand up for the truth, and you're fine.
+ Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a
6. indulge in something to help you
get more exercise while you're in your
own home. You'll get a good deal, or
maybe find it in your own attic or
garage.
- Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a
7. A brilliant insight propels you and
your team in the right direction. You
may not have had the original idea,
but you're the one who makes it hapen.
- Pieces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 6.
Accept the applause for a job well done, and then learn to delegate. A chore you find extremely tedious will be fun for someone else.

BASEBALL
Division I newcomers battle tougher level
KU
Starting freshman third baseman Erik Morrison throws home during practice yesterday. Playing third baseman this season is new for Morrison because he played shortstop at his high school in Arroyo Grande, Calif.
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@hanss.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
The Kansas baseball team has 18 newcomers to Division I baseball this season.
Freshmen Ryne Price and Erik Morrison have each earned starting spots in the infield.
This may be their first season at this level, but they seem unfazed by the challenge.
Five have some junior college experience under their belts. The rest are last year's redshirts or true freshmen.
"I look at it as more of an opportunity," Morrison said. "I came in here hoping to work hard and be able to start at a Division I college."
Price joined the middle infield as the Jayhawks' second baseman.
He has started all 13 games for Kansas, hitting .239. Price collected 13 RBI and a home run in his early starts.
"I think they've both been real solid so far. They are certainly two of the best high school players in the country," coach Ritch Price said.
Morrison fields the hot corner as the starting third baseman. He also has 13 starts, hitting a point shy of Price at .238. At the plate, he has four extra base hits and nine RBI.
"I've assumed my role in the nine hole. I'm trying to put the ball in play and do whatever I can to help the team," Morrison said.
Equally as important is that the freshmen duo are aces with the glove. Price has a .939 fielding percentage and Morrison fields at .923.
"They both have started to break out with the bats," Price said. "The big thing for me is that they play defense."
Junior college offers student athletes the chance to move up to the next level of play without the overwhelming stress of playing the Big 12.
Gus Milner transferred to Kansas from Hutchinson Community College during his
junior season. Milner is now a starting outfielder.
starting it definitely different. There's like one or two extremely good players in juco, but here everyone is an athlete," Milner said.
He has wasted no time making an impact in D-I baseball. In his 10 starts and 12 appearances, Milner is batting a solid .412.
"I'm not going to complain
about (my performance) but there's always somewhere I can work on stuff," Milner said. "The big thing is doing that in the Big 12."
He has proved himself as an extra base-hitting powerhouse, racking up four doubles and three triples. His two home runs and .824 season-slugging percentage leads the team.
"Gus is really a key guy for us
Other position player newcomers include redshirt freshman outfielder John Allman, freshman infielder Matt Berner and freshman outfielder Brock Simpson.
because he is so good defensively. We need him on the field." Price said.
Each has made positive things happen in his appearances. Although not seeing significant time on the field, each
seems to understand his role.
Newcomers on the mound will also be a big issue for the jayhawks, as well.
Junior transfer Kodiak Quick, right-handed pitcher, has surfaced in the starting rotation. In his three starts, Quick has accumulated a 1.23 ERA on a 3-0 record. Most impressive is his one walk to 15 strikeouts.
Earlier this season, pitching coach Steve Abney said that he would look for big things coming from left-handed newcomers, junior Travis Goset and freshman Logan Murphy.
"Being a freshman from California, I knew a little about the Big 12," Murphy said. "I'm not usually worried when I'm on the mound, that's when I relax."
Goset transferred from Palomar College. In his two Jayhawk appearances, he pitched for a 2.25 ERA.
Other new pitchers include freshman right-handers Tyson Corley and Carter Holt. Although senior Michael Fitch, right-handed pitcher, opened his season with a rocky start, he is expected to contribute after his transfer from Southeast Missouri State.
Whatever his role, each player has to adjust to the high level of play in the Big 12.
"It's a whole new level. The guys are bigger and the game moves a lot faster," Morrison said. "Everything is so much faster."

Sixers stave off Sigma Nu 2, preserve perfect record

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Sixers outlasted Sigma Nu 2 in a meeting of teams from men's pool 24 Monday night, prevailing 41-37 in a hard-fought intramural basketball battle.
The victory brings the Sixers to 3-0 headed into the playoffs. That's not bad for a team that went 0-3 last year in pool play.
Defense was played well by both teams, who held each other to more than 20 points below the season average.
Sigma Nu (2-1) brought a high-pressure defense on every possession, while the Sixers focused their efforts on dominating inside the paint.
Free-throw shooting was another important factor. The Sixers made four of their eight
shots, while Sigma Nu went just two of 10.
The key to winning the game for the Sixers was not quality of shots, but quantity. Of the first 30 shots of the game, 20 of them were hoisted by the Sixers.
With just 6 minutes to play before halftime, the Sixers turned up the heat and went on a six-point run, which helped them claim a 22-18 lead at halftime.
During the halftime break, the team realized that it was slowing down.
"We realized that we had to sub in a little more to keep our legs fresher." Alex Haneberg, Chicago sophomore, said.
Haneberg was a key to the Sixers' second-half success as they took advantage of Sigma Nu miscues and slowly pulled away. The team enjoyed a nine-point lead with just under 6
minutes to play.
Over the next few minutes, however, Sigma Nu demonstrated why it was the highest scoring team in the pool. Despite having only seven players on the team, members ran fast breaks and began full-court pressure against the Sixers.
The strategy worked, and with 2 minutes to play it was trailing by only two points.
On the Sixers' next possession, they gave up a steal at midcourt. Sigma Nu had an open look at the game-tying basket, but it was called back on a traveling violation.
The play went back and forth twice more with neither team scoring. With 21.5 seconds showing on the clock, Sigma Nu had the ball underneath its basket for what would likely be its last opportunity.
It found an open three, but it did not fall. The Sixers started to fast break the length of the floor and got a basket with a foul to put the game away just before the final buzzer.
Sigma Nu put a scare into the team at the end, Hanobeg said.
"But I was confident we would pull away with the victory," he said.
The team did, and will go into next week's tournament against its choice of opponent.
Eric Williams, Wichita sophomore, said he was encouraged by the season and that he hopes the team will continue its success in the tournament.
"I'm hoping at least two wins, but it all depends on who is in our bracket and how difficult it is," he said.

Committees propose spring vote Full Senate still needs to approve the bill
BY DANIEL BERK

Two committees in Student Senate passed a bill last night to put the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences differential tuition proposal on the ballot for the Senate elections in April.
Students will be able to vote on the increase, if the full
on the
Senate
approves
the
bill next week.
K i m Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, has requested input from students, faculty and staff on the tuition increase.
But Wilcox will make a presentation to Chancellor Robert Hemenway by the end of March, before the Senate elections take place.
"The vote would be after the fact," said Nancy Lott, assistant to the dean. "I'm not sure it would have any impact at that point."
My biggest problem with this bill is that senators can skew the issues. Coalitions can reduce this large issue into a small handbill.I think that could seriously mislead students."
If the chancellor approves the tuition increase he will make a formal proposal to the Kansas Board of Regents in May, and the Regents will vote on the proposal in June.
Ryan Faulconer, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, and one of the authors of the bill said he thought that the student vote could be meaningful and helpful to the Regents' decision.

When the Regents meet, our student body president will be there to give an honest opinion, Faulconer said.
Kristan Seibel, Hays junior and member of Wilcox's advisory team, spoke against the bill last night saying the vote

would come too late and undermine the survey sent out by Wilcox.
"My biggest problem with this bill is that senators can skew the issues," Seibels a i d. "Coalitions can reduce this large issue into a small handbill. I think that could seriously mislead students."
In her speech to the senate committees, Seibel said the chancellor
wanted to make a decision on the tuition increase by the end of March, and any vote after that would be unnecessary.
The feedback from the survey will be used by Wilcox and the others involved when they make their proposal to the chancellor.
If the bill passes next week, it will appear on the ballot for the April elections. Faulconer said the bill would include a link to Wilcox's Web site, so anyone voting could visit the Web site to answer any questions.

CAMPUS
Darkness falls
Squirrel causes power outage
KANSAN STAFF REPORT editor@kansan.com
On parts of campus yesterday morning, people found themselves in the dark.
A squirrel got into the transformer at 1714 W. 19th St. and started a fire at the bottom of it, said Chief Mark Bradford, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical
--and finance, said.
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operation said the power went out on campus sometime soon after 9:30 a.m.
"All of it was back on shortly after 11:00," he said. "We brought a few buildings back on 10 to 15 minutes earlier."
The outage affected about 4,000 people in Lawrence. Gina Penzig, spokeswoman for Westar Energy, said the University was considered as one customer.
Penzig said Westar had people out assessing what needed to be done to get the power back on. Penzig estimated the cost to be between $20,000 and $50,000. The transformer could take several days to repair.
Jim Long, vice provost for Facilities Planing and Management said that the University had two sources of power and that only one was down.
Long said it does take some time for the secondary power source to restore power to campus. Research facilities are the first priority, followed by classrooms and academic support buildings.
Riat said the buildings east of Budig Hall were the only ones affected by the outage.
"Most buildings have some emergency power for emergency lighting," he said. "A few buildings have some emergency circuits for essential equipment."
Campus blackout
Nearly half of campus lost power yesterday morning at approximately 9:30. Buildings began regaining power at approximately 11 a.m.
With power Without power
MIDDLE SCHOOL CENTER
The estimated cost is between $20,000 and $50,000. The transformer could take several days to repair.

Ehren Starks, Overland Park junior, was taking a test that had to be cut short when power inside the Spencer Museum of Art went off.
Lindsey Koelling, Topeka senior, works on the University Daily Kansan crossword in the little light left inside the Kansas Union yesterday morning. The Union and many other buildings on campus were left in the dark after a generator blew on campus.
"I had not adequately prepared so I thank God. It was the best thing that could have possibly happened today," he said.
Heidi Quinn, Olathe semu,
and Jennifer Meilt, Rush Center
junior, weren't so lucky. Their
aural rehab test moved from
their room on the second floor
of the Dole Center to the lobby of the third floor where there was light.
The power outage also caused fire alarms at Watson Library and Watkins Scholarship Hall to go off.
The outage coincided with the morning food rush for students. The Market at the Kansas Union and the Underground in Wescoe lost power to their refrigerators.
Jason Arnett, unit manager for the Market said the outage was bad for business.
"We lose sales, we lose product and we lose money from people who are here, but aren't working," he said.
Arnett said that they kept their refrigerators colder than required and the food would be good for several hours. They checked the temperature of the food once power was restored to ensure nothing spoiled.
Shawn O'Brien and Jonathan Mauk were inside a freight elevator when the power went out.

STUDENT TUITION
Tuition rates likely to be fixed
BY DANI LITT
dlitt@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Campus leaders and University of Kansas officials are working on a plan to guarantee fixed tuition rates for students.
Once completed, the guaranteed tuition plan would go into effect during the 2007-2008 school year.
Under the proposed plan, University officials would average the tuition for four years for each incoming freshman class. The fixed tuition rate would include projected increases for those years. Students would pay the same rate for each year for up to four years, Lindy Eakin, vice provost for administration
When Steve Munch, student body president, worked as an orientation assistant two years ago, tuition increases were a concern among parents.
"Parents would say things like 'I understand what I'm paying for my daughter to attend this year, but how do I plan for the next four years?'" the Bellevue, Neb., junior said.
“It's dishheartening that you can't look ahead and say 'I can stay at KU because I know what I'll have to pay.'" he said.
There were also concerns among students about unexpected tuition increases when they came to the University, Munch said.
Eakin said that guaranteeing
Before the election last spring, Munch and Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, talked to students and the administration about their idea during the campaign.
They met with higher administration in September and October and the administration began to talk more realistically about the guaranteed tuition proposal and how it would be implemented.
a fixed tuition rate would be risky in case of incorrect calculations. However, the fixed rate could be adjusted for the next incoming class.
During the summer, they researched guaranteed tuitions at other universities and drafted a proposal.
In November, the Student Senate voted on a referendum to support the plan.
The administration responded with a counter-proposal, which has be forwarded to the Tuition Advisory Committee and the Planning and Resources Committee for further inquiry.
The draft created by the administration included many of the same elements the original draft had, Eakin said. There is one major factor missing: differential tuition costs, which are fees specific to each school outside of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The future of tuition
Eakin said it was too difficult to include differential fees in the proposal because they would add too many layers to it.

Kansas internationalizes
University wins award for increases in global education
BY NATE KARLIN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
INTERNATIONALIZATION BY THE NUMBERS
The University of Kansas joined the ranks of big universities on the East and West Coasts in terms of internationalizing its students.
The administration announced last week the winning of the Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization, which is awarded to two big universities each year. Big universities are defined my student population.
countries.
"The award shows that KU understands our students have to be prepared for a global economy," Diana Carlin, dean of international programs, said.
The KU Office of International Programs has exchange agreements with more than 100 foreign Institutions.
- The Global Awareness Program has more than 180 students in its first year.
Even with the award, the University needs to focus on future programs. Bricke said.
She said she wanted to add a program called "Kansas Cousins," which would pair each international student with a domestic student.
The award recognized improvements the University has been making for some time, Hodgie Bricke, international programs director, said. Elements of internationalization, such as international research, at the University have been improved in past years, she said.
Arabic, Quichua, Mayan, Swahili, Turkish and Uighur languages have been added or enhanced to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in the past three years. The college has added 16 countries to its study abroad programs, including Cuba, Turkey, Croatia and Japan, Nancy Lott, assistant to the dean, said.
- The OIP has added 50 new international courses during the past 10 years.
- More than 100 study abroad programs in more than 50
- More than 1,600 international students come to the University from 100 countries.
Source: University Relations
The University has been networking its international connections for more than half a century, Carlin said.
Kansas' strong global presence from its economic dependence in international trade was a main reason for the University's popularity in attracting international students to Lawrence, Carlin said.
Fifty international programs have been created since 1995, she said.
"I think they like it because it's small enough community to get around." she said.
"Realistically, Kansas is as much part of the world as New York and California." Bricke said.
said she could focus better on school in Kansas rather than touristy Florida. Fernandez said she had thought about applying to an East Coast school before she researched the University.
Neisha Fernandez, Kuwait freshman.
International students have also told Carlin that Kansas is the "real America" and not the "Hollywood America" she said.
"It's a good study environment away from distractions," she said. Disney World was one of the distractions she mentioned.
people are friendlier in Kansas than people on the East Coast, she said.
Carlin attributed the award to the Global Awareness Program that began last Fall. The GAP program gives students international opportunities through lectures, foreign language classes and studying abroad, according to the GAP Web site.
The University of California, Los Angeles was the other big university to win this year's award. The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Duke University won the award last year.

Cable apologizes for outage
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Sunflower Broadband has aired several commercials a day apologizing to customers for a service outage on Feb. 7.
In addition to the commercials, the cable company is issuing coupons for free On-Demand pay-per-view programming to compensate the nearly 3,000 customers who lost extended cable services. However, only a portion of customers will be able to redeem the compensation.
Only customers with Sunflower's new Moxi digital cable box are eligible for the specific pay-per-view programming that the coupons were issued.
And for Scott Palmberg, who has an older model cable box, apologies just aren't enough. The Topeka senior wants his money back for the nearly three days his extended cable was out.
"It irritated me because we pay
about $80 a month for cable," said Palmberg. "That means I lost around 10 bucks, non refunded."
The company does not plan on refunding money to customers who experienced the outage, said Emily Mulligan, marketing manager for Sunflower Broadband.
"It is really hard for us to tell who had a full outage and who just had a partial outage," Mulligan said. "We are offering three coupons for free On-Demand trials for customers who experienced the outage."
Flipping between channels, Palmberg realized something was wrong with his premium channels. He was checking the movie channels when he realized none of them worked.
A transparent upgrade caused the problems. Mulligan said.
"I didn't know what happened," Palmberg said. "It started out with just a few channels, then everything but basic cable failed."

One of the additional features added in the upgrades was the On-Demand pay-per-view service, which Sunflower issued as compensation.

Upgrades were made to offer customers more services and different menu options, Mulligan said.

Research sets spending record
The University of Kansas broke its own record again for expenditures in research — $274 million in the 2004 fiscal year.
Increasing expenditures bode well for KU researchers and students, Chris Gamblin, assistant professor of molecular biosciences, said.
When trying to decide between studying biology or graphic design, Marcie Cooperman, Leawood junior, became an undergraduate research assistant for Gamblin.
Now a genetics major, Cooperman sees a research career in her future.

"This is definitely an investment in my future," she said. "This experience is vital for anything I want to do."
Growing expenditures are a sign of healthy research, and the next step is to keep the increasing trend. Gamblin said.
When a researcher receives a federal grant the University receives an additional 44 percent of the grant to maintain infrastructure, which includes maintenance of the buildings used for research.
Making research projects and facilities independent of University funds is one goal KU researchers have for the future, he said.
Private and state funds usually do not qualify for the additional funds, he said.
As long as funds continue to increase, they can give the University clout when renegotiating the percentage of additional funds over time.

"Student education and research is a top priority because that's what makes the center different from just a department or school."
Steven Bartkoski/KANSAN
Joan Hunt Vice chancellor for research at the University of Kansas Medical Center
Funding for research at the University of Kansas Medical Center also rose last year.
"There are some universities who have their rate in the neighborhood of 50 percent to 60 percent." Gamblin said.
With a total of $76 million in research funds for the 2004 fiscal year, the Med Center funds increased by eight percent from $70.7 million for the 2003 fiscal year.
Increased funds allow for more flexibility with student programs in the future, Joan Hunt, vice chancellor for research at the Med Center, said.
"Student education and research is a top priority because that's what makes the center different from just a department or school." Hunt said.
Marcie Cooperman, Leawood junior, points to the correct lane for Jay Sarthy, Lawrence research technician, to load DNA to run the gel in room 5055 Haworth yesterday afternoon. Cooperman and Sarthy were analyzing DNA of tau protein, which plays a key role in Alzheimer's disease.
A summer program for medical graduate students will especially benefit from extra funding, she said.

Adewale M. Sanni, a KU medical student, died Thursday, Feb. 17 in New Haven, Conn., after being diagnosed with cancer in June 2004. He was 37.
Sanni, a native of Ibadan, Nigeria, was a patient at the Yale-New Haven Hospital so that he could be near friends and family while he received treatment for his disease.
Gwendolyn Swoope, director of academic support at the Center of Excellence for Minority Medical Education, met Sanni in 2000 when
he was enrolled in the School of Medicine's post-baccalaureate program. He was accepted into the School of Medicine in 2001. She described Sanni as a caring person who was dedicated to pursuing his career in medicine.
"From the moment he decided to study medicine, he directed all his energies towards it," Swoope said.
Sanni maintained his focus, even when he was diagnosed with cancer. He was intent on finishing his degree in medicine.
"He never relented or gave up, even when he was in the hospital," Swoope said.

O'Brien and Mauk were delivering trays from the Market to the fifth floor of the Union when the elevator stopped. Mauk was able to manually open the door and both men got out.
While much of campus was powerless, the Art and Design Building had classes as usual.
"Fortunately we weren't affected," Gregory Thomas, design chairman, said. "We're very dependent on computers."
About 600 to 1,000 students use the computers for design, animation and for the Internet daily in the building, Thomas said.
The Art and Design building is on a different power grid that wasn't affected by the other station failure.
"Today would've been pretty bad because we're testing new servers and new computer labs," Thomas said.
The original server has a battery back up that protects the art design computers from file damage.
"I didn't even know there was a blackout until somebody from the print lab told me." Steve Fair, computer support technician for the Art and Design Building, said.

SALINA — The state's science education standards fill about 105 pages, of which only three or four are on the topic of evolution.
Committee debates evolution standard
STATE
Steve Case, co-chairman of a committee that's rewriting those standards, said yesterday the panel had more important things to do than spend all of its time debating a controversial issue that ultimately will be decided by the state Board of Education.
"These standards cover all of the sciences in K-12," Case said. "The evolution debate is just one part, but it's the majority of the social discussion."
Currently, the state's standards for science education describe evolution as a key concept students should learn. Some conservative members of the state board have questioned whether the committee has properly considered views about creationism or intelligent design alongside evolution.

Not all students would be eligible for the guaranteed tuition plan. It would apply only to students who enter the University as freshmen.
There will still be a regular tuition rate — tuition subject to yearly increases — for graduate students, transfer students and students who are at the University for more than four years. *

students for staying five years, but there is a big push on our side to emphasize four-year graduation," Eakin said.
Munch said he believed it would be attractive to incoming students regardless of their financial situation because students would be able to plan around the tuition.

PROPOSED GUIDELINES FOR GUARANTEED TUITION:
- Students will be placed in a fixed four-year cohort rate when they enter the University of Kansas. Their tuition will remain unchanged for the next four years.
- Students who are not part of the cohort will be charged per hour based on the rate approved by the Board of Regents each June.
- Students not in a cohort are graduate students, transfer students, fifth year students and students who do not enroll each semester of their four years at the University.
- ♦ Students who have extinguished circumstances or are called for military duty and must leave school will be allowed to re-enter their cohort rate when they return to school.
- Students who fail to enroll consecutively during their four years in the cohort or do not graduate in four years will lose their cohort.
- The University will work with five- and six-year professional schools to decide when the students will be admitted to a cohort and receive the guaranteed tuition for the remainder of their program.
- School specific differentials, campus fees and residence hall rates are not guaranteed.

Greek councils receive awards
The University of Kansas' Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association executive boards were recognized at the Mid-American Greek Council association conference last weekend in Chicago.

The purpose of the conference was to discuss issues that affect greek communities with other executive boards and to set goals for the rest of the term, said Christina Strube, president of the Panhellenic Association.
"We feel that we have a very strong greek community and we're doing some great things," Strubbe, Leawood junior, said.
The Panhellenic Association won awards for academic achievement, council management, philanthropy and community service, leadership and educational development, risk reduction and management and self-governance and judicial affairs.
The Interfraternity Council won awards for the same categories except for the risk reduction and management.
Strubbe said the Panhellenic Association and the Interfraternity Council were also finalists for the Jellison and Sutherland awards, which recognized achievements from the nation's top delegation. Representatives from Iowa State won the award.

Engineering students started planning for the Hollywood-themed event, "Engineering Studios: Behind the Scenes," last summer, Jonathan Ashley, Engineering Student Council co-chairman for Expo, said.
Expo attracts middle- and high-school students from Kansas City, Topeka, and as far as Wichita, said Ashley, Olathe sophomore said.
Students take part in interactive displays and competitions throughout Expo, Ashley said.
Keynote speaker and KU alumnus Doug Shane of SpaceShipOne will open the Expo with his presentation on Friday at 9:30 a.m. at the Lied Center.
Many new and old events are lined up for the event, Ashley said.
One popular event, the department of aerospace engineering's egg drop competition, already has 164 teams registered, Ashley said.
"We have so much going on it's kind of hard to pick out the highlights," he said.

Liberals should reject Dean, Democratic Party
A very sad event will take place tomorrow at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. New Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean will mount
[Image of a man with dark hair and glasses. He is smiling gently at the camera.]
STEPHEN SHUPE
sshupe@kansan.com
the stage at 5 p.m, taking the first step in a planned project to fortify Democratic strongholds in red states.
Heaven help us — the Deaniacs have landed.
It's great the Democrats have embraced Dean this year. Just a year ago, he and Dennis Kucinich — the party's two antiwar presidential candidates — were told to sit down and shut up. But now progressives just love Dean again.
If Dean wants to help the progressive cause, he need say only two words tomorrow: "I resign."
Of course, that's not going to happen. The Democratic Party has become the Jim Jones of American politics, telling its followers the only way to get to heaven is to drink the Kool-Aid. True progressives should reject the Democrats and their phony representatives.
Speaking of phony, word is Howard Dean is a tree-hugging liberal. In truth, Dean is a conservative Democrat.
According to Wild Matters magazine, Bush-style deregulation reigned during Dean's tenure as the governor of Vermont. Forests were cleared and the first Wal-Marts and Home Depots were built.
EP came to stand for Expedite Permits for corporations — not Environmental Protection against them — among Vermont environmentalists.
Dean's center-to-right record suggests his antiwar campaign was opportunistic
— simply a way to woo presidential primary voters. If he really wants to prove his reputation as a born-again liberal, the doctor should order George Soros and MoveOn.org to lead an exodus out of the Democratic Party.
Young progressives would follow. Dean's meteoric rise in the primaries is partly attributed to the aforementioned Deanics — disenfranchised young people who responded to the candidate's antiarw message.
But joining the Democratic establishment to beat President Bush is so 2004. It didn't work then, and it won't work now.
We can look to history to see what will work. There was a time when the right didn't feel so emboldened — when conservatives were forced to use adjectives
such as "moderate"
lest they be branded
outside the main-
stream.
The political action groups that grew out of the civil rights and antiwar movements brought real change. Even
Richard Nixon had to bend to the will of the people, creating the Environmental Protection Agency and signing into law the Clean Air and Clean Water acts.
Contrast that with today: President Bush has revived the Reagan administration's bad dream to militarize space. Alberto Gonzales, the legal counselor at the center of the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, was just promoted to the top justice job in the land.
Imagine if the activists recruited by the College Democrats of America last year on 1200 campuses in all 50 states decided to form a new institution in the tradition of Students for a Democratic Society, the leader of nonviolent youth resistance of the Vietnam War. These activists could shock American college students out of their materialistic complacency, just like SDS did in the 1960s.
The main argument against liberalizing liberal politics is America is a center-to-right country. Really? Does that include the 39.3 percent of the population that didn't vote in the last election?
Does it include the 95 percent of delegates on the floor of the Democratic National Convention, who said in a poll they disagreed with Kerry and believed the United States should never have gone to war with Iraq?
Such figures expose America's antiquated two-party system.
On another note, Matt Sevik took a potshot at me in his last column ("Don't trust or rely on one news source for Iraq info," The University Daily Kansan, Feb. 16, 2005). Now to return the favor:
Readers of Sevicik's column might be interested to know that 5,000 U.S. troops have deserted what he calls America's "incredibly noble cause" in Iraq, As Bill Maher said on his HBO show last week, "The younger generation is supposed to rage against the machine, not for it."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Churchillissuenotoneofspeech protection, butincompetence
it is a travesty that in Kansas we have such an asininely liberal university that clearly does not reflect the views of the majority of Kansans.
Unfortunately, the editors in The University Daily Kansan only serve to reinforce this disparity.
The Feb. 15, 2005, article on Ward Churchill made me nauseous. I do not want anyone trampling on my First Amendment rights, either. But protecting speech is not the same as valuing speech.
Sometimes our concern for being good, decent moral people should override our compulsion to be politically correct.
We must also realize our actions have
I fail to see how defaming Sept. 11 victims had anything to do with academic freedom. Instead, it points to his incompetence; a better academician surely could have found a more tactful way of getting his point across.
And regardless of how much of his salary comes from tax dollars, it is a waste of tuition money, too.

▼ EDITORIAL BOARD
it's hard to heed marijuana laws in U.S. with its contradictions
The United States' social fabric is woven with hemp, which, along with marijuana, is classified as being from the cannabis sativa plant.
Usage of the plant was not criminalized until the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937.
Abraham Lincoln's wife was prescribed cannabis for her nerves, and close acquaintances of John F. Kennedy alleged that before and during his term, he used cannabis regularly to alleviate his back pain. Our beloved George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were hemp farmers, and even our own Declaration of Independence was printed on paper made from hemp.
The United States often overlooked history with the cannabis sativa plant makes our current drug policies all the more hypocritical and unjust. In 1998 the reauthorization of Higher Education Act of 1965 was passed, which prohibits anyone with a drug conviction, no matter how minor, from receiving financial aid.
As of 2004 more than 128,000
financial aid applicants had been denied because of this rule. As if law enforcement officers didn't already arrest enough drug offenders, in January the Supreme Court ruled that police have the right to use dogs to sniff cars for drugs during routine traffic stops — without probable cause. The Supreme Court ruled that the searches were legal because they were searching for something illegal.
The current marijuana laws in the United States are little else than a smokescreen not to mention hypocritical seeing as how our leaders use it.
More recently, the Times reported that a former aide to President George W. Bush's father, Doug Wead, taped conversations with President Bush from 1998 to 2000 that included a discussion on marijuana.
erful family. Envision him and his Skull and Bones cronies rolling around in an Escalade, on the way to blaze a joint at a friend's house. Bush has the joint in his pocket. Imagine that they have the misfortune of being pulled over. If the officer decides to use a drug dog, which he can even without a good reason, the dog would surely sniff out the joint — dogs have a sense of smell up to one million times that of humans.
Bush responded to a question with "I wouldn't answer the marijuana questions, you know why? Because I don't want some little kid doing what I tried." By saying this, he is verifying that he did in fact experiment with marijuana.
I wonder what would happen if George W. was living out his young, rebellious years today in 2005. This is a stretch, but let's pretend that George W. is growing up today, and he doesn't come from a rich and pow-
Bush would promptly be handeuffed, thrown into the back of a police car and hauled off to jail where he would meet his new friends, Brutus and Bubba. Next, he would save up some money, hire a lawyer,
then wait around nervously for a few months until his court date arrived. When his big day finally came, maybe he would get lucky and just pay a fine and lose his financial aid. Or maybe he would lose his financial aid, receive a fine, be placed on probation, be told to complete community service, be forced to take weekly urine tests at $15 a piece, and attend drug addiction classes alongside cocaine and heroin addicts.
If Rush were to go through all this.
if Bush were to go through an this, would it have actually deterred his drug use? Perhaps it could have. Maybe it would make him never want to see another drug again. On the other hand, Bush can be a bit stubborn, which leads me to believe that his punishment would have caused him to do what many drug offenders do after getting caught, which is become smarter about getting away with it.
Regardless of any change in his behavior after being arrested, Bush would be denied financial aid for his college education. Again, say he didn't have that rich and powerful daddy, as most of us don't. His experimentation with the treacherous marijuana would keep him from completing his remarkable stint at Yale, which brings a good point to mind. Maybe denying financial aid to drug offenders really is a good idea. Had our current drug policies been in place a few decades ago, maybe pot users like Bush never would have been able to go to college, and the world would be a better place.

ARTS
Professor intertwines metal and art
Robot simulates life, death and turns science into a sculpture masterpiece
Steven Bartkoski/KANSAN
David Bowen, associate professor of sculpture, prepares his moving phototrophic drawing device. Bowen's piece makes art with a small kinetic device that attracts itself to 10 hanging lights. Bowen built the device to mimic the natural function of a plant attracting itself toward sunlight. His other sculptures can be seen at www.people.ku.edu/~dwbowen.
BY NEL MULKA
nmulka@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
If the left brain and the right brain were to mate, nine months later David Bowen would be born.
Bowen, assistant professor in sculpture, uses materials traditionally found in the science world metal, solar panels and circuitry to create his art robotic sculpture.
These sculptures crawl, hum, draw and observe their worlds, breaking away from the general public's normal perception of sculture.
"The prejudice about sculpture is that it's very stationary and very static," Bowen said. "I like the idea of making something move."
He often refers to a quote by John Maeda, a fellow artist, graphic designer and a computer scientist, about how art makes people want to live longer.
"The arts are the science of enjoying life."
Meet the machines
WORLD
While Bowen denies that his art makes life worth living, his art certainly seems alive.
Like a starving man in a desert crawling toward an oasis, the phototrophic drawing device — a robot about two inches cubed with a solar cell on top of it — moves to a pool of light projected from above.
It moves stiffly, leaving behind a trail of footprints in the form of dashes from an attached piece of soft charcoal.
Once it reaches the light, it moves in a fast circular pattern, creating a dark circle.
"In a lot of ways, once you wire the circuit together, it's alive," Bowen said. "It's seeking
out its food — light — which gives it power."
The phototrophic drawing device can also simulate another life function — death.
Bowen left one of the devices on his office desk while he was gone. When he came back, he found it on the floor, smashed from falling off the desk.
The robot was trying to reach light and killed itself, he said.
"It was kind of a sad time," Bowen said. "I was a bit depressed."
Bowen might have taken more of an emotional hit than a financial one. One phototrophic drawing device costs about $20 to make.
Another robotic sculpture, "50 Drones," explores group activity.
"50 Drones" is a device that
has 50 circles with one-inch diameters suspended from tenfoot power cords that are connected to a ring above.
Each drone uses motors similar to those in cell phones to move. This sculpture costs him about $175 to create.
"50 Drones" illustrates grouptype behavior such as a school of fish or people displacing each other in a crowd, Bowen said.
This sculpture has been in galleries in San Francisco, New York and will be featured in the Thailand New Media Arts festival in June in Bangkok.
There he met Guy Baldwin, professor of art at Minnesota, who worked with kinetic, or moving sculpture. While studying there, Bowen learned how to use the tools to make sculpture move.
Bowen got interested in robotic sculpture while working on his masters of fine arts at the University of Minnesota.
Bowen also found out about William Durfee, professor of mechanical engineering at Minnesota.
The making of a maker
Every year, Durfee's sophomore engineering class has to make simple robots on a limited budget.
"I knew if I could meet that guy, he would be somebody fun to work with," Bowen said. "Fortunately enough for me, he was willing."
Bowen quickly progressed in his mechanical engineering classes.
engineering student because he was so good at using this technology." Durfee said, "He put some engineering students to shame."
Bowen received early inspiration from the robotic/kinetic sculpture "Homage to New York" by Swiss artist Jean Tinguely. That sculpture destroyed itself as part of the exhibit in 1960.
"It's very violent, very chaotic." Bowen said. "I guess that was my adolescent stage at looking at kinetics."
Robotics is an interesting and growing field that artists can use for their interests. McCrea said.
Movement is a part of sculpture that's been missing in the art department, said Judith McCrea, art department chairwoman, and Bowen represents that aspect.
"Artists are going to use whatever is available," McCrea said. "And they're going to use computers and robotics in a new and interesting way."
"He was almost an honorary
From Gopher to Javhawk
He helps inexperienced sculpture students execute their ideas, Caitlin Lash, Overland Park junior, said.
Bowen came to the University of Kansas last fall and teaches sculpture classes.
Next fall, Bowen plans to teach a kinetic sculpture class and looks forward to teaching a drawing class as well.
"He's good at finding different solutions to choose from," Lash said. "He finds out different ways to make your idea work."
Demystifying sculpting processes, such as welding and woodcutting, is one of Bowen's favorite aspects of teaching.

Bowen would like to make a sculpture like "50 Drones," but with 500 units.
Death toll hits 400 in Iran earthquake
SARBAGH, Iran — Under a cold, driving rain, survivors wailed over the bodies of the dead and dug through the ruins of mud-brick houses searching for their loved ones after a powerful earthquake flattened villages in central Iran on Tuesday, killing at least 420 people.
The toll was expected to rise, because rescue teams did not have a final count from the three most isolated villages in the mountainous region. About 30,000 people were affected, many left homeless when some villages were reduced to piles of dirt and stone by the magnitude-6.4 earthquake.

Shiites nominate candidate for ballot
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Ibrahim al-Jaafari, the head of a religious party who fought Saddam Hussein and took refuge in Iran for a decade, was chosen Tuesday as the dominant Shiite ticket's candidate for prime minister — making him the overwhelming favorite for the post.
Al-Jaafari's selection came after former Washington ally Ahmad Chalabi dropped out of the race following three days of round-the-clock bargaining. Al-Jaafari has been seen as having close ties to Iran's ruling clergy, though he denies any links to a government that President Bush has said is part of an "axis of evil."
But al-Jaafari must now build a ruling coalition and win agreement from the Kurds and others on candidates for Cabinet posts and the largely ceremonial presidency before seeking the support of a majority of the National Assembly elected Jan. 30.

Bear-ly defeated
Jayhawks lose on Senior Night
BY PAU BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFT WRITER
For a few minutes, the nearimpossible seemed as though it might actually occur. The magic of Senior Night swept over the Jayhawks and almost willed them back into a game against a top-10 team. The crowd stood on its feet as it watched Kansas charge back from an 18-point second-half deficit to cut the Baylor lead to only six, 50-44. All the momentum was on the side of the Jayhawks.
But in the end, the comeback fell short as the muscle of No. 6 Baylor, 22-3 (12-2 Big 12 Conference), firmly asserted itself to finally put away a pesky Kansas team, 70-60. The defeat marked the sixth loss in the same number of games against ranked opponents this season. Baylor, the first-place team in conference, has now won nine consecutive games.
Early in the game, Kansas, 12-13 (5-9 Big 12), struggled to find offense
against a much larger Baylor team and dug an early hole, falling behind 21-5 at the 10-minute mark of the first half.
Kansas did not roll over, and closed out the half with a flurry of Aquanita Burras scores.
"I'm proud of our kids to make a run at the end of the half,"coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The run consisted primarily of baskets from the senior guard, Burras, who accounted for 15 of the last 17 Kansas points of the half. The senior guard sank seven of 10 shots in the first period. Burras established position by posting up down low, drove hard from the perimeter and even hit a three-pointer to lead the late charge.
On several trips, Burras was the only offensive choice even considered by the Jayhawks, and there was nothing the Bears could do about it. Burras finished with 24 points, tying her career high.
"They struggled to guard her off the dribble." Henrickson said.

Top recruits selected as high school all-stars

KANSAN SENIOR, SPORTSWRIVER
Kansas fans can watch all three of the Jayhawks' signeres before they even slip on a jersey. Mario Chalmers, Micah Downs and Julian Wright were all named to the 2005 McDonald's All-American team last night.
The all-star game for high school seniors, which pits the best high school players from the West versus players from the East, will be played March 30 in South Bend, Ind. Kansas, Duke and North Carolina all had three players selected for the game. Chalmers, a point guard from Anchorage, Alaska, and small forwards Wright, Chicago Heights, Ill., and Downs, Bothell, Wash., will all play on the West team.
"It's just a chance to play with the best of the best," Chalmers said. "It's going to be fun to go out there and represent the Kansas connection."
EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
Kansas coach Bill Self said there were two sides to having signees play in the high-profile game.

Save booing for Kansas' opponents
Think about the last time you bombed a test or had a rough day at work.
Kansas sophomore guard J.R. Giddens has obviously been in a slump lately. Everyone, including the coaches and Giddens himself, has been frustrated by his play.
What if you had gone home afterwards and found 16,300 people — people who have supported you for two years — screaming profanities, flinching you off and booing?
"These are still amateur athletes and they're out there trying." Kansas coach Bill Self said after Saturday's home loss against Iowa State. "Certainly, he didn't play one of his better games."
But when Giddens, the team's top three-point threat, entered the Iowa State game during the Jayhawks' late-game rally, jeers from the student sections showered him.
Give him a break.
Between the "Fuck Missouri" chant and verbal bashing of his players, Self's limited reaction has been admirable.
"The fans were frustrated and certainly players were frustrated," Self said Saturday. "But that's not typical of our student body."
I shouldn't ask you to stop booing the Jayhawks; just ask yourself why you're doing it before you start. If Wayne Simien went 3-for-16 from the field, fans would have pity on him. But it was Giddens, the team's extravagant showman, and fans judge Giddens more harshly because of his flamboyant personality.
His chest thumping, jersey popping and on-court jawging gets on our nerves, and some fans tried to take his ego down a peg by booing on Saturday. And they enjoyed it. It's fun to torpedo giant egos and kick guys while they're down, even when they're on your favorite team. And unfortunately, Kansas fans haven't had a chance to kick opposing players while they're down for quite a while.
I don't have to tell you how important the Allen Fieldhouse crowd is. Other crowds may count as the sixth man, but the fieldhouse fanatics, when they're on, can easily count as the seventh and eighth. So shape up and support our team. Otherwise, on Sunday, the Jayhawks could lose a second-straight home game for the first time since 1989.
But let's be careful about how we take out our frustration. Booing KU players in Allen Fieldhouse just moves you below Giddens on the personality rankings.
And stop booing the Jayhawks
So support the players regardless of their per sonalities.

Former guard signs with New Jersey, gets his big break
BY KELLIS ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Billy Thomas has been to a lot of games in Allen Fieldhouse, but something just felt different to him this time.
The round of applause he received didn't surprise him, and neither did his front-row seat directly behind Kansas coach Bill Self.
What made watching Saturday's game between Kansas and Iowa State so special for the former Kansas sharpshooter was that it was his first time in the Phog as an NBA player.
A. H. MELVY
The 29-year-old recently signed with the New Jersey Nets and traveled to Lawrence during the NBA's All-Star Break.
"I always get a warm reception," he said. "This time, I've come back and I'm where I want to be in my professional life, and it's even better."
The journey Thomas took to achieve his dream of playing in the NBA couldn't have been scripted more dramatically.
He graduated as Kansas' all-time leading three-point shooter, but Jeff Boschee eventually passed him with 338.
His rise to the top is the basketball equiv alent of Cinderella going to the ball.
For years, his college record
The former guard, who played at Kansas from 1995 to 1998, was overlooked by every NBA franchise. This oversight happened despite making 269 three-point shots during his college career, which is the second most of any Iavhawk.
Former Kansas guard Billy Thomas sits behind the Kansas bench during Saturday's game against Iowa State. Last week, Thomas, who is second in Jayhawk history with 269 three-point shots made, signed to play for the New Jersey Nets until the end of the season. He said he planned to sign a multi-year deal after the NBA season.
was the only thing people knew about him
"It is a fair tale story and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person and a nicer young man," former Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "I've spoken to Billy a few times, and I'm just so happy for him, because he's a kid that persevered. He never made much money at it, but has just been willing to keep at it because he's got a big-time dream."
Until now, that is.
After spending seven years in American minor league systems, such as the National Basketball Development League, the United States Basketball League and the International Basketball League, he played overseas in the Philippines, Italy and Argentina. He finally got called up to the NBA on a 10-day contract earlier this year.
He took full advantage of his opportunity and scored 12 points in two separate games and helped New Jersey to a four-game winning streak.
In a game against the Golden State Warriors, Thomas came off the bench with his team trailing in the fourth quarter.
He played strong defense and scored seven unanswered points to lead New Jersey to victory.

Big 12 wants instant replay
The conference is looking at three potential replay models to implement. Members of the conference have been asking coaches which system they would prefer, assistant Big 12 commissioner Bob Burda said.
System name
♦ The "NFL" model
♦ The "Big Ten" model
♦ The "hybrid" model
POSSIBLE INSTANT REPLAY SYSTEMS
The Big 12 Conference intends to have instant replay at all of its football games next season and is now looking into which type of system to use for games.
The Big 12 Conference is considering three possible systems for instant replay during the 2005 football season. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he had not versed himself on all the details, but he would prefer a model similar to the National Football League's.
Who can challenge?
♦ Coaches*
♦ Replay official
♦ Coaches or a replay official
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he was still learning all the details.
"I think, at first glance, this is
Source: Big 12 Conference
something that I would be in support of." he said.
Mangino said he would prefer a system similar to the NFL replay system. In this system, a coach can
challenge a play, but if the coach loses the challenge, the team loses a time out.
The NFL system allows coaches to have two challenges per game.
Mangino

During the final two minutes of each half, however, a play can only be reviewed by an official in a booth above the stadium.
"Anything that is going to make our conference better I am in support of." Mangino said.
The Big Ten was the first conference to use instant replay last season. Their system did not allow coaches to participate, because challenges could only come from a technical advisor in a booth.

COLLEGE BASKETBALI
VILLANOA, Pa. — Victories against ranked teams are becoming routine for Villanova.
Randy Foye scored 23 points and the 23rd-ranked Wildcats survived a nine-minute stretch without a field goal to beat No. 3 Boston College 76-70 last night.
The fans stormed the court as they have for two other home victories over ranked teams, chanted "Tournament!" and shook hands with coach Jay Wright.
Villanova (18-6, 8-5 Big East) beat its fourth top-25 team of the year, including a victory over then-No. 2 Kansas last month, and bolstered its chances of making its first NCAA tournament appearance since 1999.
Curtis Sumpter scored 18 of his 20 points for Villanova in the first half and Kyle Lowry added 11.
The Wildcats, coming off a victory over then No.17 Pittsburgh on Sunday, used 70 percent three-point shooting in the first half to take a halftime lead they stretched to 13 points early in the second half.
When Jason Fraser made a layup at the 13:15 mark, the Wildcats led 57-47 and seemed in control.
The Eagles — who rallied from halftime deficits to win eight times this season — started their run while the Wildcats went into a field goal drought that stretched just longer than 9 minutes.

Kansas women's basketball star ties career high with 24-point performance
Her last game in Allen Fieldhouse will be a memorable one for senior guard Aquanita Burras.
The 5-foot-9 guard tied a career high last night with 24 points, and also led the team in rebounds with six and assists with four. In the first half, she scored 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Burras took over the offense for a Kansas team struggling to find points.
"It was Baylor versus Aqua in the first half," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Thank goodness she made some shots."
In the second half she cooled off a bit but still helped keep Kansas in the game. She finished 9-for-15 from the field. Burras made both of her three-point attempts and hit all four of her free throw attempts in the 70-60 loss to the sixth-ranked team in the country, the Baylor Bears.
"What a way for her to go out on Senior Night," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson said. "She was very good. We put a lot of different players on her and she still lit us up."
By Burras' count, Baylor used four different defenders to try guarding her during last night's game. Afterwards, a humble Burras declined to admit the obvious, that none of them could guard her.
"Ask my teammates, because I really don't like to talk about myself," Burras said. "I don't like to brage."
Burras had every reason to brag last night. She dominated the game at times, scoring all nine points in a 9-1 Jayhawk run at the conclusion of the first half. If they needed a steal, she stole it. If they needed a basket, she scored it.
Burras posted up the Baylor defenders and was able to score a lot of baskets inside. She attributed the easy baskets to great passes by her teammates, in particular junior forward Crystal Kemp.
"Crystal was making great passes when I was posting up," Burras said. "That helped a lot."
She did not come out of the game, playing all 40 minutes in her last home game. Her gutsy performance impressed everyone, even her teammates. Junior guard Erica Hallman, who finished with 21 points, was not only happy, but thankful, that Burras played as well as she did.
"She brought her 'A' game tonight." Hallman said. "She pretty much carried us on her shoulders in the first half. She played an excellent game on both ends of the floor."
Burras dedicated her performance in last night's game to her dad, Larry Lindsey, who is serving in the U.S. military in South Korea. A member of the U.S. Army who has also served time in Iraq, Lindsey got Burras started playing basketball when she was in fifth grade.
"The sad thing was that my dad couldn't be here," Burras said.
"That's what I played for, my father."
"At the beginning of the National Anthem I started getting a little emotional. I had to take a few deep breaths. It would have been great for my dad to be here, but I had my little brother here taking his place."
Mulkey-Robertson summed up Burras' performance in four words.
After tying a career high in points and leading the team in rebounds and assists, Burras said she would never forget her last home game. As coach Mulkey-Robertson said, it was a special night for Burras.

At the end of their last home game in Allen Fieldhouse, senior guards Aquanita Burras and Blair Waltz couldn't help but smile in spite of a close loss to Baylor 70-60. Burras finished the game with a career-high 24 points on 68 percent shooting from the field. Waltz clocked in four minutes last night.

Fan suggests voodoo to Self as solution
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
“W.
"We just need to
Forget early morning practices and two-a-day workouts. Kansas coach Bill Self was presented with an idea for an entirely different approach to winning on Sunday, a more superstitious way of going about things.
"I got a voodoo doll yesterday," Self said. "Somebody who is from Louisiana and lives here in Lawrence thought I've probably tried everything else, so I might want to try that."
Since the Jayhawks went from number two in the country to a three-game losing skid, it's no wonder people are exhausting all options to help Kansas beat Oklahoma State on Sunday.
get our aggressiveness back and our confidence back,and you can do that through effort."
Heck, with the Big 12 Conference lead on the line, the Jayhawks can use all the help they can get.
Bill Self
But is Self confident that practicing voodoo is the way to go about beating the Cowboys this weekend?
Kansas men's basketball coach
"Uh, probably not," Sell laughed. So with that option on he stuck
terday, at 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. Today, they will do a walk-through and watch film of the Cowboys, who lost to the Cornhuskers on Tuesday night and dropped to 10-3 in the Big 12, tied with the Jayhawks for the conference lead.
“If we'd have played great last week, we might not have got up at five this morning, so that may have had a little bit to do with it,” Self said. “But we didn't do it just for the punishment.”
It had been a while since these players had risen before the crack of dawn for practice. But then again, they had never dropped three straight, either.
He said he thought it would be better for the team's energy level to practice twice in one day, as opposed to going five straight days.
As for Sunday's opponent getting knocked off by Nebraska, that breathed some life into the struggling Kansas team.
"We caught a break by them getting beat," Self said. "I wouldn't wish for other people to get beat, I wish we would take care of our own business, but certainly we didn't do that last week, so we caught a break last night."
The Cowboys' loss to the Cornhuskers makes it much easier for the Jayhawks to control their own destinies in the Big 12 race. With both teams sitting at 10-3 and a head-on matchup this weekend, Sunday's winner will be in good shape to win the conference. A Kansas victory would put it a game ahead of Oklahoma State with two games left on the schedule.
The Jayhawks practiced twice yes
deep." he said. "We just need to get our aggressiveness back and our confidence back, and you can do that through effort."
But sometime between now and Sunday, Kansas needs to regain its confidence and focus, elements that Self said his team lacked recently.
Self stressed that a good team couldn't become a bad one in three days. He said the Jayhawks were a good team that had just played poorly.
"I felt like the Iowa State game we just thought we'd win, and the Oklahoma game, we were so bad the first half, we dug ourselves a hole so
The Kansas players will be unavailable to the media until after the game on Sunday. Self said that decision came from the seniors, who decided it would help the team's focus to avoid all potential distractions.
"They thought that their focus hadn't been near as good as it has been before," Self said. "They were just going to get together and try to be as one as much as possible and not have any distractions. So they made a commitment not to do a couple of things, and just to focus on Oklahoma State and not do anything else."
It's likely that one thing Self won't be doing is practicing voodoo. But if anything, the doll, which came with a pin in it, gave the Kansas coach a good laugh.
"It was sent as a joke, and I thought it was a pretty good one," he said.

Sweeney looks for active season
Royals need team leader to beef up offense
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Mike Sweeney, whose back problems caused him to miss 146 games over the last three seasons, reported to spring training yesterday, expressing optimism that he can play a full season.
Sweeney, who reported two days before the Kansas City Royals' first full-squad workout, ran and played tost before pronouncing that his back was fine.
"I feel great," said Sweeney, who sat out the last 42 games of the 2004 season because of a herniated disc in his neck. "I feel 100 percent. This is the first time that
“I.
I'm hoping, now that I'm a little older, that I'm a little more wiser and I'll ease myself into activities."
Mike Sweeney Kansas City Royals designated hitter
I've felt that way in a long while."
I've felt that way in a long while." Sweeney, who hired former Royals' strength and conditioning coach Chris Mihlfeld as his personal trainer for the off-season, said his training had included new exercises to help strengthen his back.
"The last three or four winters, when I was running and taking ground balls, I'd get some kind of soreness in my back, but not this winter," Sweeney said.
But Sweeney, the team captain, said he wouldn't tax his back by trying to do too much too early in spring training.
"I'm hoping, now that I'm a little older, that I'm a little more wiser and I'll ease myself into activities," he said.
The Royals need Sweeney on the field to bolster an anemic offense whose on-base percentage .322) and batting average (.259) were 12th in the American League and whose slugging percentage (.397) was last.
Sweeney, a four-time AL All-Star selection, hit .287 with 22 home runs and 79 RBIs last season. A career .305 hitter, Sweeney has not hit .300 the past two
years. After setting a club record with 144 RIBs in 2005, Sweeney failed to drive in more than 99 runs the past four seasons.
"I do know I'm a big part of the lineup." Sweeney said. "The big key for my success is being healthy. Health and success go hand-in-hand. As much as my back hurt, my heart ached more being out of the lineup."
After winning 85 games in 2003 and leading the Central Division until late August, Kansas City had an AL-worst 58-104 record last year.
"I think there is going to be a little more hunger this year after 104 losses," Sweeney said.
"I know periodicals are not picking us to be so hot," he added. "We're in the business of overachieving." Royals Notes
- Kansas City announced
that an arbitrator had determined the club would not have to pay outfielder Roscoe Crosby the additional $750,000 in bonuses he was seeking.
Right-hander Kyle Snyder left spring training to attend the funeral of his grandmother tomorrow in West Palm Beach, Fla. Snyder, who missed last season after having shoulder surgery, said he would return to workouts Saturday.
Besides Sweeney, third baseman Chris Truby and outfielders Brian Hunter and Terrence Long also arrived at camp yesterday.
♦ The Royals again dodged rain to get in a full workout for the pitchers and catchers.
- Reliever Mike MacDougal and starter Brian Anderson drew praises from pitching coach Guy Hansen after each threw 45 pitches off the mound.

Burras said she felt as though she could take on the entire Bavlor team during the first half.
Outside of Burras, Kansas only scored seven points in the half, but the effort of the 5-foot-9 guard in her final game kept the Jayhawks within striking distance at the break, 32-22. Baylor seized control coming out of halftime and opened up with a 12-4 run that extended the advantage to 44-26 at the 16:29 mark. The 18-point lead tied the largest margin of the game.
Junior guard Erica Hallman
A Hallman floater from the lane plus a free throw brought the Bears within 12. An offensive rebound and put-back by junior forward Crystal Kemp made it 10. Another Hallman jumper from the sideline brought it to eight. Finally, Burras knifed through the Baylor defense to cut the lead to only six.
But that was as close as Kansas would ever get. The Bears pounded the ball inside to its dominant post players and leading scorers, Sophia Young and Steffanie Blackmon, to end Kansas' hopes and finish out the victory.
Blackmon led Baylor with 20 points and Young added 18 to
dominate the block. Both caused fits down low for the Kansas post players. Freshman forward Taylor McIntosh expended all five fouls in trying to slow down the tandem, and freshman forward Jamie Boyd was whistled for four.
took over where Burras left off,
scoring 17 points after the break.
"She is a difficult match-up."
Henrickson said of Blackmon.
"She can hit a high-post jumper, and she can get some separation."
While Baylor won the game inside, Kansas could not get the ball to Kemp, who took scored just seven points. Part two of the Sunflower Showdown takes place Saturday, when Kansas takes on rival Kansas State at 5 p.m. in Manhattan.

"It's like any dream," Thomas said. "Once you attain it, you feel that all your hard work and prayers have been answered."
The Nets viewed him as the sharp-shooting guard they needed and signed him to a second 10-day contract.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
He continued to excel and recently received a contract extension for the remainder of the season.
Dream
He scored a career-high 14 points against the Los Angeles Lakers and increased his playing time to nearly 21 minutes a game.
Since getting the call to join the Nets, Thomas has scored an average of 5.9 points a game to go along with 2.2 rebounds per contest.
New Jersey has a 23-30 record, but with the addition of Thomas and All-Star Vince Carter, the team is showing signs of improvement. It still has a shot at the playoffs, because the Atlantic-Division-leading Boston Celtics are only 27-27.
"It itks first class to a higher level," Thomas said of playing in the NBA. "Right now, we're talking about finishing the year strong, and we'll talk about multi-year deals down the road."
After he played for teams like the Dakota Wizards of the CBA and the Greenville Groove of the NBDL, he was never discouraged.
Spending seven years working hard without a reward would cause many to give up, but Thomas is a different breed
"I never doubted myself, because I had a strong belief in God and faith in the ability that God blessed me with," Thomas said. "I just knew one day I'd get there."
It's hard to believe he stayed so positive, especially because he scored 49 points in a single game while in the NBDL, and no NBA team took notice.
He was also reunited with long-time friend and college teammate, Jacque Vaughn. This has been an added bonus for Thomas.
"That's been nice. It helped me transition into the NBA after playing in all the minor leagues," Thomas said. "He's been the crutch for me to lean on whenever I've needed anything."

"I don't think recruiting a McDonald's All-Americans helps you win one game next year," Self said. "But it is great for the players and great for your program."
On the flip side, there is always a concern that a player will perform so well at the game and at practice leading up to the game, his draft stock will rise, making a jump straight to the NBA possible. But, Self said he was confident that Chalmers, Wright and Downs would play at Kansas next year. Self said he had mixed feelings about his recruits jumping to the NBA.
"You're probable saying 'OK, we'll have a hungrier kid when he gets here.' But if he does make it, then you got to say, I'm really happy for them." Self said.

Three current Kansas players — J.R. Giddens, Wayne Simien
"It just shows what a great recruiting year this was and what we can do in the future." Chalmers said.
Chalmers said he talked to Self on Monday, and Self indicated that he expected Chalmers to make the team. He is the third player from Alaska to be selected to the McDonald's team. The other two, Carlos Boozer and Trajan Langdon, played at Duke.
Self said seeing three players who committed to the same school can raise anticipation for the coming season.
"It itups expectation on your program or your next team, like those guys should come in and deliver right of the bat," Self said.

Burda said the Big 12 was looking at the Big Ten model, the NFL model and a potential hybrid of the two, which would allow a technical advisor or a coach to decide if the play would be reviewed. Burda said a recommendation would be made to the conference during its spring meetings, May 23 to 27. The conference has until June 1 to have the system they wish to implement on file with the NCAA.
"Hopefully the conference looks at all the options, and I am sure they are going to make a
good decision." Mangino said.
Burda said was a problem figuring out a way to make the replay system work for games that were not televised.
"We are looking at a three-camera and a four-camera operation." Burda said.
The cost of implementing replay is expected to be high, and Burda said that the number of cameras they decide to use would determine how expensive it would be.
"Our low-ball estimate is about a half a million dollars to implement." Burda said.

Healthy Cardinals prepare for season
JUPITER, Fla. — For 66 years, George Kissell has been a fixture at St. Louis Cardinals spring training. Now, the team has a permanent reminder of his amazing longevity.
The Associated Press
Loyal employee honored by team
Before their first full-squad workout yesterday, the Cardinals unveiled a large brass plaque just outside the Roger Dean Stadium clubhouse honoring the senior field coordinator for player development, responsible over the years for tutoring the likes of Joe Torre and Todd Zeile along with countless minor leaguers. Kissell, 84, was surprised by a ceremony attended by this year's roster and even Bill DeWitt, the Cardinals' principal owner.
"You really want to get on the field and start playing with the guys," Eckstein said. "It's great to see everybody."
At least one of the newcomers appeared anxious, too.
"The first four days it's a nice way to get back into spring training, but there isn't a whole lot going on except pitchers throwing," La Russa said. "There's a lot of activity today."
Kissell was a college sophomore in 1940 when Branch Rickey signed him to his first professional contract, and he still lives in St. Petersburg, Fla., where the Cardinals trained then. He's worked in many capacities with the Cardinals, including minor league managing, minor league and major league coaching and scouting.
GIVE FLASMA GET CASH
"Something like this is very touching," Kissell said. "I've always been a Cardinal. I'll never take the birds off my chest. This will go down as one of the greatest days of my life."
For the first time, manager Tony La Russa had all of the components on the field, and that was all of the excitement he needed. He's finally getting a good look at new shortstop David Eckstein and second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, the products of a mostly low-key offseason for a team that did trade for 17-game winner Mark Mulder, and newly secure catcher Yadier Molina.

Minnesota Vikings trade Randy Moss
MINNEAPOLIS — Randy Moss is heading for Oakland, the receiver's agent said yesterday.
Kansan file photo
Dante DiTrapano, Moss' agent, said that the Minnesota Vikings and the Raiders had "come to an agreement on Randy playing for Oakland next year."
Meghan Miller, senior goalkeeper (No. 1), Rachel Gilfillan, senior forward (right of Miller), and Monica Brothers, senior forward (No. 11), celebrate after winning the Big 12 Conference Championship last October. Miller, Gilfillan and Brothers, along with four other seniors, were part of the most successful class in KU women's soccer history and will go their separate ways after graduation this spring.
Neither the Vikings nor the Raiders would confirm the deal, which was first reported by The St. Paul Pioneer Press on its Web site.
Raiders spokesman Mike Taylor declined comment on the trade reports.
21 65
DiTrapano said he didn't know the terms of the deal, but the Pioneer Press reported the Vikings would get linebacker Napoleon Harris, along with the seventh overall pick and a later-round pick in the upcoming draft.
The deal cannot become official until March 2, the start of the NFL's fiscal year.
Moss had been the subject of trade rumors following this past season. He struggled with a hamstring injury, but still finished with 13 touchdown catches.
He was fined $10,000 for pretending to pull down his pants and moon the Green Bay crowd during Minnesota's playoff win. He also drew criticism for leaving the field with 2 seconds left in a regular-season loss against Washington.
The organization's patience with the receiver seemed to dwindle in the past year or so.
Ditrapano said Moss was "very pleased to be going to Oakland and looking forward to playing with a team that's promised they're going to throw the ball deep a whole lot to him and having a chance at winning the Super Bowl."
Seniors recall time with team
"He doesn't leave Minnesota with any grudges," DiTrapano said. "It just was frustrating for him to lose."

For a team to be successful in college athletics, it needs to have senior leadership. This year's Jayhawk soccer team had plenty of that. The seven seniors led the Jayhawks to their most successful season in school history with an 18-5-0 record and a Big 12 Championship.
Since their arrival in 2001, these seniors have helped to lead their team to new heights and records for the University. During their first season in 2001, the Jayhawks set a school record for having the best record in school history, a 13-7-0 mark. They made their first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.
To conclude the 2003 season, they led the Jayhawks to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament. This past season topped it all off for the seniors when the team beat Iowa State on Oct. 29 and clinched the Big 12 Championship.
Following that impressive season in 2002, the then-sophomores helped lead their team to a 6-1 1 start, which was the best start ever for the Jayhawks at the time. In 2003, the girls marked the Jayhawks' first victory over Big 12 conference-rival Nebraska. They also beat Big-12 foe Missouri twice that season, both times in Columbia, Mo.
Senior Meghan Miller said the championship was the most memorable event of the season.
"I think the moment that I will remember most was winning the Big 12 championship," Miller said.
For most of the seniors, this season was the last time they would be able to play organized soccer.
Senior Gabriela Quiggle knows that the opportunities to play soccer after graduation are slim.
"There are not too many opportunities to play soccer elsewhere seeing as there is no pro league," Quiggle said. "I have flirted with the idea of playing overseas, but finishing school right now is my main priority."
Now all that is left for these seniors is memories of the past four years. Senior Monica Brothers says the off-field memories of this season will stay with her forever.
"Rachel Gilfillan would always do a 'routine' before every Sunday game," Brothers said. "It was the last game we played against Nebraska, she was in the locker room, doing her 'routine,' and when it was over she tried to make a good exit and she dove into a cart and flipped over and fell hard. Every single player was on the ground laughing."
"My favorite memory from the year is beating A&M, basically securing at least a share of the conference title," Leeper said of the team's 1-0 victory against Texas A&M.
lasting memories was from a game this season.
Whether it is memories from off the field or on the field, the seniors will not forget their time spent as a part of Jayhawk soccer. For Miller, Jayhawk soccer has become important enough to her that she plans to be back next season.
"I am helping coach the Jayhawks this spring and next year because coaching is something that I want to give serious thought to."
Quiggle said she felt that the team's success made it easier to
say goodbye
"This was a great season to end on for the seven of us," she said. Four years ago Brothers, Leeper, Miller, Amy Geha, Quiggle, Gillifan and Lauren Williams started their journey with the Jayhawk soccer program, and they now leave a legacy at the University of Kansas that can't be forgotten. Leeper said the turnaround in Jayhawk soccer is one she will never forget.
"It is a great feeling to know that we were a part of turning a program completely around. It is a great accomplishment that I will remember for a lifetime," Leeper said.

Bowling team must travel to compete
The third-ranked KU men's bowling team will have to face two other top-eight teams at their IBC Sectional Qualifier in Chattanooga, Tenn., because of an unprecedented decision from College Bowling USA.
By having three of the top-eight teams from the power rankings in one sectional, CBUSA "violates its own rule," Kansas coach Mike Fine said. The rule he is referring to is to not have more than two of the top-eight teams from the power rankings at the same sectional. This was the same rule that prevented Kansas from competing in Kansas City last year and shipped them out to Lexington, Ky.
"I'm very disappointed. This is the second year in a row we've been sent further out," Fine said about going to the Chattanooga Sectional instead of the Fairview Heights, ill., Sectional. He said he was not only disappointed about the situation but also with decisions made across the board.
The No.1 seed the men's team received was the highest they have had at a sectional. The women's team also received its highest seeding ever — No.2 — at the Chattanooga Sectional.
"It is going to be very challenging for both men and women to get out of the sectionals," Fine said. "The men's field is eight deep and has the possibility of not having the top four seeds coming out of it."
The IBC Sectional Qualifiers will be held from March 19 to 20 in Allentown, Pa. and San Jose, Calif., along with the Chattanooga and the Fairview Heights sectionals. The top four teams from each sectional will then compete at the championships in Rockford, Ill.

College, senators clash
BY NATE KARLIN
AND DANIEL BERK
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
University officials and some members of Student Senate are disagreeing on a referendum for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences differential tuition.
A 1982 statute requires a referendum, which is essentially a vote, to be used whenever an institution under the Kansas Board of Regents requests a bond for building or maintaining facilities, according to statute 76-742 of Kansas law.
The college will use a 20-year bond to jump-start production
of the new Natural Sciences building and a renovation of Wescoe Hall.
The statute didn't specify the definition of a referendum so the administration decided to use a survey as the referendum, Provost David Shulenburger said.
In order to use a survey as a referendum, the survey must clearly identify itself as a referendum, said Richard Levy, professor of law. Not acknowledging it could be unfair to voters, he said.
"If you knew it was a referendum, you would probably take it more seriously." he said.
are seriously, he said.
Kim Wilcox, dean of libera
arts and sciences, said that students should have picked up on the fact that the survey was a referendum because several e-mails, including the survey itself, that went out to all students had the words "your last opportunity" in bold and italicized characters. Those words were in the sentence, "The link below will take you to a survey which is your last opportunity to weigh in on whether you think such a tuition should be applied to all College of Liberal Arts and Sciences courses." The survey was sent in an e-mail to all students.
Ryan Faulconer, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, and
author of a bill that would put the issue to another referendum for the April elections was unaware of the law until yesterday and didn't know if the survey sent out by the college qualifies as a referendum.
"My thought is if it is a referendum, why are they calling it a survey?" Faulconer said. "I think the law just gives more credibility to the bill that was passed last night."
The law says that no student fees should be charged or collected unless a student referendum has been made public and presented to the Regents prior to any contract for construction on any building.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway will make a presentation to the Regents in May proposing the tuition increase. Hemenway and other administration officials will present the results of the CLAS survey to the Regents.
If Faulconer's bill passes next week in front of full Senate, the referendum will be on the ballot for the April elections. Wilcox said Faulconer's bill would be unnecessary if it makes its way onto the ballot.
"I think a second vote would be very unfortunate." Wilcox said. "It creates a risk of confusion and would only frustrate students. I don't see any reason
The only reason the administration decided to use the survey as the referendum was to segregate school votes, unlike the Student Senate referendum, Shulenburger said.
to vote on the same thing twice."
Wilcox said the reason the college decided to use the survey was to learn more about CLAS facilities.
The survey will be completed by 5 p.m.
Marcia Powers, information specialist for the college, said the results of the survey will be ready for the public by the middle-to-end of next week.

Trainer Josh Magaha, Basehor senior, right, smiles at his client Richard Johnson, dean of students, as Magaha adds an extra count to the exercise Wednesday morning. Johnson worked out with Magaha at the Student Recreation Fitness Center and said Magaha pushed him hard.

Personal training program offers great experience, but fills up fast

David Herrera has helped a 350-pound,40-year-old diabetic drop 285 pounds. It's all part of his job as a personal trainer at the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
"I could always tell how we were doing because of how he changed notches in his belt," Herrera, Lawrence senior, said. "In the end, he had to punch new holes in it."
The Student Recreation Fitness Center offers free personal training to all students. The center has 40 one-hour slots available per week. People can take two sessions a week, so at least 20 people sign up in any given week. The slots always fill up every two weeks during sign up, said Jill Urkoski, associate director of recreation services.

slots are available on a first-come first-served basis. The University is one of few schools that provide free personal training.
Additional sessions or any purchased after the first 40 are filled are $10 each, Urkoski said.
The four paid student trainers range in experience from Herrera, who has been a personal trainer for a year and a half, to Josh Magaha, Leavenworth senior and a trainer for three years.
The people behind the treadmill
Though many of the trainers major in exercise science, they do not get class credit for being a personal trainer, Urkoski said.
Herrera focuses on improving cardiovascular fitness with strength exercises. He also shares his knowledge so that his
clients can work out on their own.
"My philosophy just doesn't go well short-term," he said.
If a client doesn't show up or only comes in for two weeks, Herrera can't do much for them.
Magaha's approach emphasizes cardiovascular, resistance and flexibility training to provide a long-term fitness routine. He is wary of people just want to develop their upper-body muscles or are just concerned about losing weight fast, and he has a reputation for being tough.
A personal trainer for three years, Magaha has seen a lot. The premedical student has worked with bulimia and anorexia. He also helped one client lose 200 pounds.
Both trainers have gained personally from their sessions. While Magaha seeks to help
"I've been told I can be a little tough on people." he said.

Residence hall to close doors next year

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The writing on the walls and hacky sack games that take place at the front of Hashinger Hall will stop this May, and won't be back until the fall of 2006.
The hall will close for renovations the day after commencement, said Kip Grosshans, associate director for housing office administration.
The $12.6 million project will produce more public space for Hashinger residents. But the renovation allows for 375 student spaces, down from the current total of 460 student spaces this semester.
Grosshans said Hashinger
had an average of 34 rentable spaces on floors four through eight. After renovations, Hashinger will have an average of 51 rentable spaces.
Potential overcrowding in residences halls may be avoided by students who choose not to live on Daisy Hill during renovations.
"I plan on living off campus next year because I wouldn't live anywhere else on Daisy Hill except Hash," said Stephanie West, Girard freshman and Hashinger resident.
West said Hashinger could use renovations, but would not be as creative a residence hall as it used to be.

Downtown waterline getting replacement
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Businesses in downtown Lawrence will have to go with the flow of a waterline replacement project that will begin this spring.
The waterline that now supplies downtown is 118 years old and has become encrusted with mineral deposits, said Brian Kingsley, project manager for BG Consultants, Inc.
Replacing the entire waterline will take three years to complete, according to a proposal by BG Consultants. The first stage of the project, which should begin in mid-April, will close parking on the east side of Massachusetts Street between Sixth and Seventh streets, said Chris Stewart, assistant utilities director of water for the city. It also will tear up part of the sidewalk along Sixth Street, he said.

On page 10, *Jayplay writer Paige Worthy* shows us that conservative and Kansan don't always go hand-in-hand. She introduces us to another type of situation in which more than two folks are fulfilling their fleshy desires. We meet Rob, Cat and Shan, all members of a polyfidelitous triad. Unlike the menage a trois, polyarmy is not about just sex. Members can be in committed loving liaisons similar to the dyadic relationships that Western culture has become so accustomed to. The main difference is that with an extra person comes extra personality, extra emotions and, well, extra sex.
and, Well-Excited.
Whether it is two, three or four people in a relationship, romance is required to make it work. Ashley Doyle's article "Every little bit helps" on page six reminds us that even in small doses, thoughtful gestures make it work.
Thoughtful and romantic perfectly describe the best gift I have ever received. Years ago, I was away from my family on a holiday and feeling very homeiesick. Noticing that I was feeling a little down, the guy I was dating told me to pack a bag. We were going on a trip. He drove me to the airport and we flew back to Kansas City to surprise my family.

Support deployed troops by sending a care package By Leigh Ann Foskey, Jayplay writer
Photo by John Tran
Soldiers overseas miss their family, friends and the occasional Snickers Bar. What better way to lift their spirits than to send a care package? The U.S. Census Bureau reports that as of Dec. 31 more than 1.4 million service men and women are on active duty. The KU Office of Veterans Services estimates there are 113 student reservists and 16 students overseas, but the information can be hard to track because many students don't report that they are being deployed.
Capt. Rob Leicht, recruiting operations officer for the University of Kansas Army ROTC, was in Afghanistan for nine months and then in Iraq for eight months. He says that receiving anything is a welcomed opportunity. "Mail call can be the highlight of the day for any deployed service member. Even something as small as a crayon drawing from a 2 year old can bring joy to deployed service members."
Even if you don't know a troop overseas, you can still adopt one. For security reasons, the Department of Defense no longer allows items addressed to "any soldier," but organizations like operationmilitarysupport.com, treatsfortroops.com and operationshoe-box.com can help you find a soldier. On the treatsfortroops.com and operationshoe-box.com Web sites you can even prepare a care package. The organizations supply
you with a name, address and a list of interests for each soldier, so you can personalize your gift. On those Web sites you can choose from pre-made gift sets or you can select individual items to be placed in your box. Or, you can always choose to do it the old-fashioned way.
Although it is always best to pack your soldier's favorite items, operationshoe-box.com keeps a list of the most requested goodies. Twizzlers, board games and magazines are always popular, but don't forget to include things they actually need like sunscreen, toothpaste and new socks. Be creative and send things your soldier can appreciate, just don't forget the follow the rules. Because packages are sent to countries with different customs, the U.S. Postal Service has set up a Web site that lists what you shouldn't send to each country. Sorry guys, no nudie playing cards or pork rinds allowed. If you are sending a package to someone in a desert region, remember that it's hot, about 100 degrees, so chocolate is probably not such a good idea. If you do send something that might melt or leak its smart to place the item in a Ziploc bag. Leicht says that service members can reuse the bags for many things, like storing wallets and photographs.
Once you have chosen all of your goodies, pick a box that is large enough to hold
all of the items with room for cushioning. Because larger packages take longer to send, Leicht suggests that you keep your packages small, about the size of a shoe-box. If you are sending the box through Priority Mail, the Postal Service requires that your package be no more than 70 pounds and that the length plus girth be no greater than 130 inches. Girth is the width of your package multiplied by two, plus the height multiplied by two, plus the length. You can fill the space with bubble wrap or packing peanuts from a post office or craft store, but a better (and cheaper) idea is to use a local newspaper, that way your soldier can keep up with what's going on at home. The Postal Service also suggests throwing in a card listing the box's contents. Remember to seal the box tightly; taping all seams twice. Clearly label the box with a return address and Army Postal Code (APO) or Fleet Postal Code (FPO). The Postal Service can give you the nine-digit codes to ensure your package gets to where it's going. You can even throw in a stamped and addressed envelope so your serviceman can let you know he received the package.
Care packages are a fun way to show your support, but if you don't have the time or funds, just write a letter. Whatever you send it's sure to bring a smile to a soldier's face.

When you shave, it's common to get nicks and cuts. For ages, many a man has patched his face with a dab or two or 12 of toilet paper. While TP may keep your newly shaven face free of blood, the problem comes when you try to take off the paper. Removing the paper may reopen the wound, giving you a fresh burst of blood. Instead, try using a styptic pencil or an alum block, available at pharmacies. Both are made from natural astringents and caterizing agents such as aluminum and potassium. Styptic pencils and alum blocks are available at Wal-Mart or most pharmacies and drugstores and range in price from about $2 to$ 20.

If you're looking for a fun and easy way to spruce up your candles, try adding beads to them. Barbara Van Hoesen, event coordinator at Michael's Arts and Crafts, 3106 Iowa St., made a beaded candle to display at the store. To make your own, Van Hoesen suggests using double-sided Terrifically Tape, which you can find at Michael's, and any candle.
Wrap the tape around the candle and then press the beads into the tape until they're secure. Van Hoesen uses larger beads first and then fills in holes with clear micro beads. She says the candles are fun to make because they are so easy and can be customized to fit any holiday or event.

Kayla Dudley and Ben Katz keep their love strong by doing th elittle things. The two once took a trip to Krispy Kreme in Kansas City as a gift to each other.
Even the small things can add to a romantic relationship By Ashley Doyle, Jayplaywriter
When Ben Katz's girlfriend, Kayla Dudley, woke up one morning she had the ultimate craving: Kristpy Kreme doughnuts. And Katz delivered. He drove Dudley to Kansas City that morning to the closest franchise. After breakfast the Topeka sophomores spent the rest of the day in Kansas City driving around and then walking in the Plaza.
Katz says his relationship of one year and nine months is romantic because they're able to be spontaneous with each other. Katz says he does these little things for her, like the doughnut drive, because it shows her that she's worth him going out of his way. It shows her he cares. It wasn't the doughnut that was romantic; it was that Katz wanted to do something sweet for her instead of saying "that's nice" and then going back to sleep without a second
thought.
Whether it's a picnic in the park, a doughnut run or dinner at the Hereford House that sweeps you off your feet, the concept of romance has one common theme, says Bob Weiss, University of Oregon psychology professor emeritus. It makes the one being romanced feel fabulous. "In a sense, romance is like a drug that alters your state of being." Weiss says. "It allows you to deceive yourself into believing all sorts of wonderful things — and it is legal."
Katz and Dudley also buy each other little presents. He says he'll buy her flowers and lay them on her bed or put them on her desk when she's not there. As for Dudley, Katz says he enjoys her surprise visits to his place.
Another technique Katz has on bringing romance into a relationship is to set tradi-
tions. Two or three times a month Katz and Dudley have a date night. They eat at a cheap Chinese restaurant then rent a movie. Katz says it's their version of dinner and a movie.
Salina sophomore Adria Jerkovich and her boyfriend Craig Orton live 40 minutes away from each other, but they still manage to see each other several times a week. Jerkovich and Orton have been together for three years and three months, and in that time Jerkovich has learned that having fun with her boyfriend is what's romantic.
Jerkovich says if she leaves her place before her boyfriend, he will leave an I'm-going-to-miss-you note in her apartment before he drives back to Overland Park. Romance is important to Jerkovich because romance shows you still want
your partner. If you don't let your partner know you're still interested in them, things can get boring. Romance shows both people are still satisfied with each other, Jerkovich says.
Showing you care doesn't need to be a huge thing, Jerkovich says she enjoys walking around Massachusetts St. with her boy while holding hands. For Jerkovich, it doesn't matter what it is she and her boyfriend do as long as they're having fun together. As for romance, just know that it can't be a big production every time and that romance can come in small doses. "Know not to expect things to be out of this world all the time," Jerkovich says.

How we met
Renee Robinson & Denise Vann Photo by Samara Nazir High school friends to college buds
Renee Robinson and Denise Vann, both Lawrence freshmen, have been friends since high school. During those years, they had their lockers next to each other each. Since then, they've been inseparable. They even worked together at the TJ Maxx in Lawrence when it first opened. When Vann transferred to the University of Kansas from Kansas State University, both started to hang out again, but not as much as they did in high school. Now, Robinson and Vann see each other when they go out because they do not have any classes together.

Guy 1: I tried calling Kate

Guy 2: How'd she take that?
Guy 1: She wasn't as mad as I thought... it was a victory for both of us.
Guy 2: Next time,try calling her something like "Schnookie face"...
Guy 1: No. That's too cute "Sweetcheeks" is at least sort of offensive.
Guy (talking to another guy): Yeah, the Honker's Ale...don't get that. It's like daisies.It's like ..drinkin' a mouthful of dandelion, just...watery, like a bunch of daisies. Just terrible.
Girl 1: Why are all your M&Ms
green?
Girl 2: I don't know. Do you want one? I've already had, like, 25.

Girl 2: Yep. Do you want one?
Guy: Wait - you can smell M&Ms?

Guy 2: I'm not angry, though. I'm happy! This weather is beautiful.

Forget American Idol, with Lawrence's own 6News TowerCam, you can get your moment in the limelight without ever leaving Mass. St.
It's 3 a.m. The party's over and you're crashed out on your couch flipping channels. You come across Channel 6 and your thumb stops, hovering over the channel-changing switch. The TV's showing a wide-angle shot of a street, and it looks familiar. Suddenly it dawns on you. It's Massachusetts St. And, just like that, you're faced with the same question that haunts so many Lawrence couch potatoes: what the hell is the point of having a live feed of downtown, and why isn't someone down there doing something stupid on camera to entertain you?
everything from people climbing flagpoles in their underwear to people humping fire hydrants to people settling for just flipping off the camera.
Can't get enough TowerCam? Here are the times this week when it'll be on:
Mitch Sandow, Salina junior, is one of the countless people who has gone out of his way to make a cameo on the Tower-Cam. One afternoon during first semester last year he and some friends decided to stage a fight for the camera while another friend watched back home. They drove around until the guy back home told them via cell phone that they were on TV. Then they parked their car, jumped out and started pretending to throw punches at kicks at each other. "There's some people walking by and some cars slowing down and we're wailing on each other, and then we see a cop," Sandow says. To avoid tangling with the law, the group left, but not before their friend had videotaped their faked street fight.

The camera feed comes courtesy of 6 Productions and runs when there's no other scheduled programming. Although the ever-shifting view of downtown Lawrence from atop City Hall usually just shows cars driving and people walking, the camera periodically catches entertaining shots of people who enjoy standing out on TV. One story has it that a DJ working at Set'Em Up Jack's, 1800 E. 23rd St., a year or so ago got tired of seeing the same old scene. He challenged any girl in the bar to go flash the camera for two minutes, offering free drinks to any takers — at least one of which he got. Matt Sayers, chief meteorologist for 6News, says he's seen
Since the TowerCam went on air in February 2003, Channel 6 has aired an estimated 9,000 hours of footage of downtown Lawrence. A former 6News meteorologist came up with the idea for a Lawrence TowerCam as a replacement for the News Plus scrolling news banner that had been filling in the gaps in Channel 6's programming. Channel 6 doesn't run any
syndicated shows, so it typically has about 12 hours of dead airtime to fill each day. The idea of filling it with material with a local slant fit with the station's theme and appealed to its managers.
"We at least have something that kind of says 'Lawrence,'" says Cody Howard, Channel 6 news director.
Howard says that sometimes the camera catches newsworthy things in addition to the random naked flagpole-climber. It recorded footage of a hot air balloon that crashed into the river during August 2003 and has gotten good shots of various fires around town. It hasn't recorded a tornado (such as the one that swept through Lawrence in May 2003) or any crimes
being committed, though the police have asked from time to time.
Howard and Sayers say that the station has gotten good feedback from the community about the camera, and that it plans to keep the camera in use. What isn't known is whether there will be more cameras anytime soon. A common misconception is that there are several stationed throughout Lawrence. The truth is that there's the one on City Hall, pivoting and zooming at the command of whoever's in the Channel 6 Weathercenter. There is another camera, EagleCam, owned by The World Company, but it's only available on the Internet. Howard says that while he would like to see more cameras some day, it probably won't be discussed seriously for a while.
The future of people messing with the TowerCam also remains uncertain — but only in the sense that one can never be sure what they'll do next. Staged fighting is far from the limit of the imaginations of Sandow and his friends, who have already toyed with ideas such as taping porn to the camera. "We also thought it'd be really funny to get a giant nut costume and a giant squirrel costume and go chasing around," he says, "but it's hard enough just to find a giant squirrel costume."

Bitch + Moan
By Jessi Crowder and Chris Tackett
Q
Should you be a tiger or a kitten in bed?
I had a great relationship end two years ago and since then I've dated around a lot. The problem is that I'm not finding anyone nearly as good as what I had the first time around. Am I just not looking hard enough?
—Ryan, junior
a
Jessi: They say nothing measures up to your first love, but I think that's bologna. The reason the people you're dating aren't meeting your expectations is because you've placed your ex on a pedestal. Though it may have been a great relationship, you need to move on and admit to yourself that that person is no longer deserving of that position.
Chris: Where are you looking? I don't get this "looking for the right person" crap. If your ex was the type of person you want to be with, that's fine. But when you're dating you can't compare every girl to your ex. At least you shouldn't. For whatever reasons, that relationship didn't work. Hmm, what could that mean? Oh, she was not perfect! So stop trying to find someone exactly like her!
Q
Q. Ever since I came to school, my parents have been bugging me to find "that special girl" to spend the rest of my life yet, but I'm not sure I'm ready yet. Should I start looking for her, or should I just enjoy my time in college?
Andy, freshman
a
Chris: Your folks think you're gay. No, seriously they do. They think you're gay,and for them the only way to prove you aren't for them to see you dating girls. Next time they bring it up tell them you're not ready to get married because you're having too much fun boning random chicks.Two birds,man.
Jessi: Some people come to school to get married. Some people come to get an education. Some come to get plastered...And some come for all three. In this case, I wouldn't heed your folks' advice. Be a big boy and focus on your goals now, not theirs. If you're not ready for a serious relationship, tell them so and then discuss what goals you do have in mind (minus the ice cream man-plan.) Hopefully, your parents will be understanding and supportive.
Q
Do girls like things rough or gentle in the bedroom? I'm confused as to what I should be doing.
-James, sophomore
Jessi: It varies for each woman. Sometimes, they like it rough 'n tumble, and other times they want sex to be gentle and romantic. Either way, make the woman feel loved, wanted and pleased. Chris: Jessi is totally wrong. Every single girl likes it rough, messy and the exact same as the time before. And if they tell you differently, they are liars. And whores. If you haven't laughed at this yet, you need to try actually having sex and you'll soon realize that Jessi is completely right. There's no steadfast, fool-proof method in bed. There doesn't even need to be a bed! Just go out there, do what feels good, pay attention to the noises, make sure the girl isn't crying, do what she tells you, and you should be OK.

Howard says that while he would like to see more cameras some day, it probably won't be discussed seriously for a while.
The future of people messing with the TowerCam also remains uncertain — but only in the sense that one can never be sure what they'll do next. Staged fighting is far from the limit of the imaginations of Sandow and his friends, who have already toyed with ideas such as taping porn to the camera. "We also thought it'd be really funny to get a giant nut costume and a giant squirrel costume and go chasing around," he says, "but it's hard enough just to find a giant squirrel costume."

Bitch + Moan
By Jessi Crowder and Chris Tackett
Q
Should you be a tiger or a kitten in bed?
I had a great relationship end two years ago and since then I've dated around a lot. The problem is that I'm not finding anyone nearly as good as what I had the first time around. Am I just not looking hard enough?
— Ryan, junior
a
Jessi: They say nothing measures up to your first love, but I think that's bologna. The reason the people you're dating aren't meeting your expectations is because you've placed your ex on a pedestal. Though it may have been a great relationship, you need to move on and admit to yourself that that person is no longer deserving of that position.
Chris: Where are you looking? I don't get this "looking for the right person" crap. If your ex was the type of person you want to be with, that's fine. But when you're dating you can't compare every girl to your ex. At least you shouldn't. For whatever reasons, that relationship didn't work. Hmm, what could that mean? Oh, she was not perfect! So stop trying to find someone exactly like her!
Q
Q. Ever since I came to school, my parents have been bugging me to find "that special girl" to spend the rest of my life yet, but I'm not sure I'm ready yet. Should I start looking for her, or should I just enjoy my time in college?
a
Andy, freshman
Chris: Your folks think you're gay. No, seriously they do. They think you're gay, and for them the only way to prove you aren't is for them to see you dating girls. Next time they bring it up tell them you're not ready to get married because you're having too much fun boning random chicks. Two birds, man.
Jessi: Some people come to school to get married. Some people come to get an education. Some come to get plastered...And some come for all three. In this case, I wouldn't head your folks' advice. Be a big boy and focus on your goals now, not theirs. If you're not ready for a serious relationship, tell them so and then discuss what goals you do have in mind (minus the ice cream man-plan.) Hopefully, your parents will be understanding and supportive.
Q a
James, sophomore
Do girls like things rough or gentle in the bedroom? I'm confused as to what I should be doing.
a
Jessi: It varies for each woman. Sometimes, they like it rough 'n tumble, and other times they want sex to be gentle and romantic. Either way, make the woman feel loved, wanted and pleased. Chris: Jessi is totally wrong. Every single girl likes it rough, messy and the exact same as the time before. And if they tell you differently, they are liars. And whores. If you haven't laughed at this且, you need to try actually having sex and you'll soon realize that Jessi is completely right. There's no steadfast, fool-proof method in bed There doesn't even need to be a bed! Just go out there, do what feels good, pay attention to the noises, make sure the girl isn't crying, do what she telis you, and you should be OK.

If love is what makes the world go 'round, polyamory might be what's keeping the world turning

If love is what makes the world go 'round, polyamory might be what's keeping the world turning By Paige Worthy, Jayplay writer
It was a classic case of boy meets girl
...meets girl.
When Rob Hamm, Catherine Glewwe and Shannon Henry met, each says it was infatuation at first sight. Rob and Cat met first, in 2000, at a gaming conference, and Cat eventually moved to Lawrence from Minnesota to live with Rob. She confessed to him that she'd always wanted to date other women but that she was already so deeply in love with him that she didn't want a relationship that didn't include him.
Rob says he jumped at the opportunity to be in a relationship with two women, so he agreed to keep on the lookout for a new woman who would mesh with both their personalities. Enter Shannon.
Rob first met Shan, who was living in Pennsylvania until early January 2005, through their online journals, but they met in person at another gaming conference, where they had arranged to share quarters, and the two immediately hit it off. Rob says that when the two women finally met in person last October, the chemistry was obvious.
Outwardly, the three seem more like a few friends hanging out than three people in love, but tiny nuances in their behavior give them away: playful slaps on the thigh
at a sarcastic com-
ment, sideways
glances and shy
smiles at an outsider's mention of their relationship. Rob, though twice the girls' age at 42, doesn't look a day over 30, wears a leather jacket and sports short, spiky hair. Shan and Cat, both in their early 20s, sit together next to him — Shan has bright pink hair and silly socks, and Cat is soft-spoken and fair-skinned.
♀
The three now live together in Lawrence and are what is known as a polyfidelitous triad, or "polyfi" triad for short. Polyfidelity is one of many divisions of polyamory, which literally means "many loves." Polyfidelity differs from a monogamous relationship in that people form multiple romantic relationships with more than just a spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend. It's not cheating because their partners always know about it. And it's not swinging, where swinging involves sex exclusively, polyamory is more concerned with emotions and relationships. Robyn Trask, managing editor of Loving More magazine, which is dedicated to polyamory and poly issues, says poly can be hard to define because there are so many different combinations of people in poly relationships. Poly relationships need not include sex, but they often do. In a polyfi triad, all three people involved promise each other they will be commited within the triad. Members would only begin a relationship with another person if that
Q
Hey, jealousy
new person were to be included in that commitment; the triad would then become a foursome. But it doesn't have to stop at four: Poly relationships can grow to include as many people as its members can handle interacting with.
Liz, Kansas City, Kan., senior, who asked that her last name not be used, is a secondary in an open poly relationship with a man, Chris, who has another girlfriend, his primary. Liz is romantically and sexually involved with Chris, but she doesn't share financial or domestic responsibilities like his primary does. She's only become involved with him recently, but he's been with his other girlfriend for more than six years. He is the "V," or center of the relationship, and Liz and his other girlfriend are not involved romantically in any way — though they are friendly with one another. Hers is an example of a more open poly relationship instead of a polyfidelitous one—the three of them are not exclusively "together," which could potentially create an environment of jealousy.
Liz says that she entered into this relationship after a string of bad experiences in traditional two-person relationships. She says she searched herself for signs of
jealousy but found none once she
busy but rough ones also understand the nature of the poly lifestyle. She says people in poly relationships experience only
M
"occasional pangs of jealousy," and when they do, they work through it and get over it quickly. On her first date with Chris, Liz says he received text messages from his other girlfriend, who was acting as his wingman for the night. Ideally, poly people are all about "compression," being happy for their partners when they find a new way (or person, in this case) to make themselves happy. The term compersion — as well as the concept of polyfidelity — was coined by the Kerista Commune, a famous commune in San Francisco that was founded in the 1970s.
"In a polyamorous world, you say, 'I love you, and I can't be everything you need, nor can you be everything I need,' so you have multiple loving relationships that balance out those neglected needs," Liz says.
Jealousy is never an issue within Rob, Cat and Shan's triad, either Rob says, even though there are more people's emotions to take into account. Jealousy can be avoided, he says, by keeping the lines of communication open at all times and always talking about their needs, desires and concerns.
We can work it out ...
Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, says communicating in a poly relationship can be more difficult just because of the numbers. In a dyadic relationship – one with only two people – there is a simple back-and-forth exchange

required.
But Dailey says there's no reason communication should be more important in a triad setting than in a dyadic relationship. In fact, he argues that there are fewer differences between dyads and triads than people may think. He says the individuals within each relationship are what determine the success or failure of the connection. American society, particularly the more conservative, religious part of it, places a high value on dyadic relationships and marriage between two people, he says, but the success rate of American marriages is just about 50 percent.
The only real test of whether a relationship will survive, regardless of how many people are in it, is whether the people in it are differentiated enough, Dailey says. He describes a differentiated person as one who doesn't need external affirmation to feel validated. Problems arise in a relationship when someone develops.
a dependency on others to build self-esteem. A high level of differentiation and the ability to communicate openly and honestly are important in creating healthy, stable relationships.
"It's less about the numbers, less about who you're fucking : It's got a lot more to do with who you are as an individual and the context of that bond," Dailey says.
Rob says he's never been happier in a relationship. But other people's misunderstandings and judgments, even those of family and close friends, have made it more complicated for the triad to live normally.
Shan's sister back in Pennsylvania is the only one of their family members who knows about the triad. Shan says her sister doesn't quite understand the situation, but she isn't against their arrangement. Cat rarely speaks to her family and hasn't since she left Minnesota to move in with Rob; things got messy when they found out she was dating and going to live with someone twice her age. Rob says he sees no point in corresponding with his family much anymore. They're what he calls "conservative religious fanatics" who wouldn't understand his relationship with his girlfriends.
Rob is not alone. Growing up in a Christian household, then breaking away from that upbringing is not an uncommon trend among polys nationwide. According to a survey of about 3,000 people who subscribe to Loving More, 87 percent of polyamorous people say they were raised in Christian households, but only 28 percent are still Christian in their independent adult lives.
Rob says he feels most vilified by conservatives trying to protect the institution of marriage and their ideals of heterosexual, monogamous relationships. He says their criticisms are based on ignorance and closed-mindedness - he says he thinks it's funny that "the most rabid antipoly people sling Bible quotes" at he and his girlfriends. The Bible, he says, often
discusses polygamy and people with multiple partners in their relationships.
—Liz, member of a polyamorous relationship
Paul Mirecki, chairman of religious studies, says the Bible does not contain endorsements of polygamous relationships, nor does it contain many straightforward rules on the ideal of monogamous relationships, but it does mention both. He says that people often interpret the Bible according to their cultural framework — for example, when people read of King Solomon's hundreds of wives, they can claim it's an exaggeration or make the judgment that Solomon was wrong, because while they want to defend the Bible's writings, monogamy is the American cultural standard.
The pressures Liz has felt within her relationship don't involve religion, but people close to her have told her to break away from it because they think she's selling herself short or getting screwed over by a

has a headache or doesn't want sex, and because jealousy doesn't play into their relationship, sex with just two of the three is completely acceptable and normal. It's not a prerequisite for poly to be into kinky sex. Liz says a lot of people envision poly relationships as all "orgies and rampant badness." Some relationships may include orgies, group sex or other alternative sexual practices, but not all do.
guy who just wants lots of sex. She says her friends want to stage a sort of "intervention," saying she's only kidding herself about not being jealous and not needing a monogamous relationship with a future of marriage and family. She says people can get uncomfortable when they don't understand polyamory.
"I know my friends' reactions are out of love for me, but they still make me not want to tell them what's really going on in my life," she says.
Cat and Shan say Rob mostly shrugs off people's disapproval and goes about his life because he knows poly works for him and makes him happy. They say he acknowledges that he can't fully explain his relationship to everyone or convince everyone that polyamory is a valid way of living.
As a heterosexual male, Rob will be able to live his life relatively normally in the United States, but he says he gets furious when he considers the same-sex marriage legislation under consideration by the government. "Fifty-one percent of the country has decided my girlfriends don't deserve civil rights," he says. Financial issues limit their mobility now, but they have considered moving to Holland, where polygamy and same-sex marriage are legal and more commonplace.
Love rollercoaster
Sexually, poly relationships are diverse. Even within Rob, Cat and Shan's relationship, the questions of who will have sex, how much and to what extreme are up in the air on a nightly basis. Most nights, Rob says, one member of the triad is too tired,
Rob, Cat and Shan say their sexual encounters are fairly normal about 90 percent of the time. But their openness to the poly lifestyle has also created openness to sexual experimentation, such as BDSM, a term for kinky sexual activity that includes bondage, domination and submission, and sadism and masochism. Rob says it "adds spice every once in a while." Shan says that sex involving BDSM requires a strong foundation of love, trust and respect to
make it meaningful and that she had tried it in the past, in other relationships, and never enjoyed it as much as she does with Rob and Cat. As much as wild, involved sex can make a relationship healthier and more exciting, it can also be time-consuming and physically exhausting. For three people trying to pay the bills and carry on normal lives, it isn't something that happens all the time.
"I love going to Worlds of Fun, but I don't want to live on the Orient Express," Rob says.
Three's company
Rob says his relationship with his girlfriends is like most monogamous relationships he's seen except that he has two people who say they want to spend the rest of their lives with him. Since Shan moved in with Rob and Cat, they've been making the normal adjustments to living with other people: shared space, leaving the seat up and squeezing toothpaste from the middle of the tube (the girls' biggest pet peeve with Rob). But Cat says it's nice to have shared financial responsibilities, another person to do things with and another person to cuddle on the couch with on late nights.
Rob says most nights are nothing out of the ordinary and consist of convincing one person to cook dinner, then settling back to do their own things: watching old episodes of Firefly on DVD, working on their Web comic "Blue Crash Kit,"
reading, even going bed early. To the three of them, the "alternative lifestyle" doesn't seem exotic or foreign. It's just life, and life is good.
"We're like an old married trio," he says.

apas tonight! By Britta Florman, Jayplay writer
T
Turn your typical Friday night get-together into a lively gathering of good food and friends
Juicy, garlicky shrimp, a slice of creamy potato pie, nutty manchego cheese with sweet quince paste on toast. Next time you have your friends over, ditch the chips and salsa and make some simple tapas to please their palates. Tapas are small dishes of food usually served in a tapas bar to accompany alcoholic drinks (and to keep patrons drinking). Originating in 19th century Spain, tapas are central to Spanish social culture. Tina Bell of Flavors Catering in Lawrence says she learned the origin of tapas while traveling in Madrid. Bell says that originally establishments would have pieces of toasted bread behind the bar for people to put over their beers to keep the flies out. Then bartenders started providing toppings for the toast. Eventually this custom became a theme for tapas bars across Spain.
Bell suggests starting with this basic tapas combination: Top 1-inch slices of a toasted baguette with an 1/8-inch layer of fruity quince paste and a 1/4-inch slice of manchego, a nutty, traditional Spanish cheese. For extra flavor, add a thin slice of dry-cured Serrano ham or substitute a similar meat like proscuito. These ingredients are available at Au Marche, 931 Massachusetts St. and WheatFields Bakery, 904 Vermont St.
Also try brushing olive oil on the toasted bread and topping with sautéed mushrooms, marinated artichokes or sun-dried tomatoes.
This Spanish-style tortilla is typical to the tapas bar.
10-ounce red-skinned potatoes, cut into
1/3-inch pieces
8 eggs
4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
(Hint: pick up an extra packet at a pizza shop)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 350°F.Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender for about 6 minutes. Drain and cool.
1 red onion, chopped
Thoroughly whisk eggs and spices in a large bowl. Mix in potatoes. Heat oil in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat. Add onion and sauté until golden, about five minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
Add egg mixture; cook three minutes, occasionally stirring egg from sides of skillet. Place skillet in oven and bake eggs until set in center and no longer wet on top, about 20 minutes.
Remove tortilla from oven. Immediately place skillet on cold wet kitchen towel to prevent further cooking. Let the mixture stand for two minutes. Run a spatula around edge of skillet and under tortilla. Lift skillet and tilt, sliding tortilla onto platter. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cut into wedges. Serves four to six.

Garlic shrimp will add sophistication to your spread.
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed chilies or to taste
24 medium shrimp, peeled if desired
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or
cilantro
a pinch of salt
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chilies and cook, stirring until garlic is golden brown. Add shrimp and cook until opaque, about three to four minutes. Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro and salt and serve.

Local boy An up-close-and-personal look at a struggling Lawrence musician and artist
I'll just use a simple representation of the image. It looks like a person sitting in front of a piano with a guitar leaning against it. The background is a room with a window and some decorative items on shelves.
By Ashley Michaels, Jayplay writer
Photo by Kit Leffler Local musician Zach Newton's surroundings represent his life. He lives among musical instruments and art.
He doesn't sleep. Trying to finish a double major in illustration and graphic design at the University of Kansas and get his music career off the ground, Zach Newton doesn't have time to sleep. One is sure how he spends this time, though his girlfriend says that sometimes he does homework, doodles or writes lyrics. Trying to finish up school with his band, one album and plans for another, Newton has plenty on his mind to entertain his insomnia.
He answers the door in black-rimmed glasses, jeans with holes in the knees, Chuck Taylor shoes and a mohawk. Art by his current band-mate and roommate Paul Flinders hangs on the walls. An old, beat-up couch sits low to the ground. A guitar leaning up against the couch as if at any time some skilled individual might just pick it up and strum a few chords. On the coffee table are two packs of Camels and an empty bottle of Miller High Life. Easy Rider plays on the television.
Newton is a 24-year-old, small-town guy from Wathena. Music has always been his passion, even though he didn't get his first guitar until he was 19. "It was an ibanez Acoustic Electric," Newton says. "I got it at the pawn shop for about $10. At the time I thought it was pretty cool." With a love for music and a drive to learn, he taught himself how to play the guitar using the music of artists such as Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young.
A high school talent show was the first time Flinders witnessed Newton in action. He was most impressed with Newton's guitar-playing and his ability to carry the band as a vocalist. "He is the best front man I have ever seen," Flinders says. "He can turn a crowd on and get them hard and wet with the first song." He says he was inspired by the way Newton's energy carried over to his band-mates and to the crowd. He compares playing with Newton like strappins himself to a rocket while every hard drug is shooting through his veins.
When he moved to Lawrence in 2001, Newton hooked up with the band The Things. This was the first time Newton got a chance to sing his own songs. With this new-found freedom he began writing more songs, stepping away from the cover-band stigma into a band with its own identity getting the inspiration for his songs through his own experiences. While he was with The Things, Newton also recorded his solo record. Using the name Local Boy, his first record was called Fight the Losers. The entire album consisted solely of Newton's vocals, an acoustic guitar and a harmonica. He recorded the album at home in his recording studio. With his relationship deteriorating, every song on the album was about his girlfriend breaking up with him. Two months later she did. "For my next album I'm going to write all the songs about getting" laid and makin' money," he jokes.
From this album, an opportunity of a lifetime arose. Through a line of connections, Fight the Losers reached the hands of a sound engineer who works with country singer Tim McGraw. The engineer told Newton he liked what he heard and urged him to move to Nashville to start writing songs. "I wasn't ready to take that big of a step," Newton says. "Sometimes I feel stupid, but I'm happy where I'm at right now."
At this point in his life, Newton's music career is on the slow track. He doesn't have much time for his current blues/rock band, Toledo Bend, while he's working two jobs and finishing up school. Plans include the release of his current band's first album. Even though his music career is on hold, it isn't gone forever. Newton says music will always be a part of his life. "I couldn't go one day without it, I feel it in my bones."

The Wheel
Location: 507 W.14th Street; 785-749-4335
In my mind, The Wheel is a classic KU bar. It's been around since 1955. Before it became a bar, it was a college bookstore. Walking inside, you won't find cheesy memorabilia or precious Jayhawk keepsakes plastered to the walls. Rather, the walls are covered in scribbles of anyone who wants to proudly proclaim, "I've drunk at The Wheel." The decor is unassuming; wooden booths surround the exterior walls with crimson and blue stools at the bar. Near the ceiling, every Big 12 mascot is painted on the wall.
During the lunch hour, The Wheel serves simple bar food: hamburgers, chicken strips, salads and sandwiches. Mid-afternoon, the food is packed up as students begin to trickle in for some drinks. By nighttime, The Wheel becomes alive with enthusiastic students and an eclectic mix of songs ranging from Garth Brooks to Janis Joplin.

Bar stat-card Cocktail of the week
Blue Blazer
Get fired up this weekend with the Blue Blazer, a curious cocktail that owes its name to the blue flame it emits when its alcoholic ingredient (Scotch) is ignited. Though it might seem like a drink for the advanced pyrotechnic, this cocktail owes its origin to a man that had no such training. The Blue Blazer was created by legendary San Francisco bartender "Professor" Jerry Thomas at the El Dorado bar during the civil war. Thomas perfected this drink by throwing the burning liquid between two silver goblets before an audience. Thomas is said to have never made this fiery concoction until the thermometer had
fallen
fallen below-10 Celsius. Try this one at home to light up your night, but be careful because fire is dangerous, kids.
1 teaspoon sugar
Half a mug of boiling water
Half a mug of Scotch
Lemon twist
Ground nutmeg (optional)
1 tablespoon honey or
Place sugar or honey and lemon twist in a serving mug, then warm two handled mugs and pour Scotch into one and boiling water into the other. Ignite the Scotch and pour into the other mug. Pour it back and forth until the mixture extinguishes (4 to 6 times) and then pour into the prepared serving mug. Sprinkle nutmeg if desired.

Interview:
Keller Williams
JOHN HENDERSON

Keller Williams isn't your average solo musician. Armed with an elaborate arsenal of multi-colored effects processors and pedals that twist and turn the sound of his acoustic guitar, Williams cooks up a strange brew of psychedelic sounds, mixed with zany lyrics and funny on-stage antics that appeals to all the senses and leaves listeners wondering, "How does he do all that at once?" Indeed, Williams is a veritable one-manband and his traveling musical minstrel show can be heard when he stops through Lawrence to play Liberty Hall on Tuesday, March 1.
In a short interview, Jayplay writer Chris Brown chats with guitarist extraordinaire Keller Williams about playing shows in Colorado, trippy guitar effects and fans bringing property signs to shows.
How'd you get your initial break? I've heard it was somehow related to the String Cheese incident hearing your music and then asking you to play with them.
So it wasn't one specific show?
I played a good string of dates with the band [the String Cheese Incident] in '97. I was just doing opening acts, playing restaurants and that's when the ball really got rolling.
Well, I played a show in '95 in Steamboat Springs [Colorado] at a small club and by the end of the night members of String Cheese Incident were up on stage with me and my six-channel mixer.
So you were living in Colorado at the time? Yeah, I was living in Steamboat Springs from 1995 to 1997.
You are known for melting all kinds of sounds together using an array of guitar effects. What is your favorite guitar effect and why?
Well, I have a guitar with a guitar synthesizer in it. It makes the guitar able to sound like a trumpet, a piano, a sax and a lot more. Or it can just make it sound like trippy trippiness.
I have a friend who claims this girl he knows claims she's the inspiration for the song "Freaker by the Speaker." What's the story behind this song?
I think the name comes from two different people out of Atlanta, one with the name "Keller" and the other, "Williams."
It's not about one single person, more just a culmination of people. It's just playing on stage with my eyes open, looking out and watching people dance. I can't open my eyes all the time because I forget how to play.
I've noticed fans bringing "Keller Williams" real estate signs to your shows and even throwing them up on stage. Can you comment on this? I guess it [the real estate company] started a long time ago, in the early '90s. At first it was funny but then it got old. It's definitely a form of vandalism and I definitely discourage it.
Just wondering about this because Keller Williams seems like a pretty unique name to me.
Free word association. I give you a word and you tell me what it makes you think of:
Nebulous: Zion
Corporeal: Demitri
That's an interesting choice, you want to comment on that? [Laughs] No.
Gigot: Garlic grilled cheese, Oh, and drum circles.
Viscosity: Motor oil

[Shupe's picks]
BEST PICTURE
Should win: Million Dollar Baby
Will win: The Aviator
Only two films here are worthy of the top prize. The Aviator is a dazzling portrait of Howard Hughes, with a glamorous Leonardo DiCaprio descending into a private, decadent hell. Million Dollar Baby is an unapologetic downer guided by the classically trained hand of director Clint Eastwood. Aviator should soar above Baby.
BEST DIRECTOR Should win: Martin Scorsese Will win: Martin Scorsese
The Aviator is one of the best-directed films of the decade. Martin Scorsese's aerial sequences define visionary filmmaking, and the film's romance between Howard Hughes and Katharine Hepburn resonates with the stuff of Hollywood legend and tragedy. Scorsese desperately wants to win an Academy Award. For the first time since 1990's Goodfellas, he actually deserves to.
BEST ACTOR
Should win: Don Cheadle Will win: Jamie Foxx
In the year's most crowded category, Jim Carrey from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Tom Hanks from The Ladykillers and Liam Neeson from Kinsey are all criminally absent. Jamie Foxx gives the showiest performance, but Don Cheadle moved me to tears in Hotel Rwanda, the year's most important film.
BEST ACTRESS
Should win: Kate Winslet Will win: Hilary Swank
As a needy book clerk whose emotions shine brighter than the colors of her ever-changing hair, Kate Winslet delivers the performance of the year in Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. She faces formidable competition - especially from Hilary Swank, who's already earned one Oscar for blurring masculine-feminine lines in 1999's Boys Don't Cry.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Should win: Clive Owen Will win: Morgan Freeman
This is a race between two old pros, unless Thomas Haden Church rides Sideways' huge critical wave to a surprise win. Alan Alda brilliantly portrays pre-McCarthy Era hubris as The Aviator's corrupt senator, and Morgan Freeman gives moody presence to Million Dollar Baby's most devastating plotlines. But neither is as indelible as Clive Owen in his role as Closer's venomous surgeon.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Should win: Laura Linney Will win: Cate Blanchett
Natalie Portman looks gorgeous in Closer, but I thought the Academy had moved beyond voting for physical attributes. (Tell that to Paul Giamatti, snubbed twice for Sideways and 2003's American Splendor.) The rest of the actresses in this field give credible performances, especially Cate Blanchett as a complex movie star in The Aviator and
Laura Linney as a sexologist's experimental wife in Kinsey.
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY Should win: Paul Haggis
Will win: Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor
Despite all the remakes, sequels and comic-book adaptations, 2004 featured some exceptionally fine writing. José Rivera produced a lyrical road odyssey from the diaries of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor are fast becoming a legendary screenwriting team. And nobody beats Paul Haggis' screenplay for Million Dollar Baby, a work of flawless genre storytelling.
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY Should win: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The No. 1 original screenplay of the year is on this list, though No. 2 and No. 3 are MIA - Kill Bill, Vol. 2, by Quentin Tarantino, and I Heart Huckabees, by David O. Russell and Jeff Baena. Charlie Kaufman's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind blends sci-fi, romance and philosophy into a singular cinematic experience.

BEST PICTURE
Should win: The Aviator
Will win: The Aviator
This Martin Scorsese film set from the 1920s to the 40s catches the viewer through the new colors presented. The film, based on the life of Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio), offers the charm of the era without trying too hard to have an old feeling to it.
DIRECTOR
Should win: Clint Eastwood Will win: Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood directs and acts in this hitmovie, Million Dollar Baby. Judging by its seven Oscar nominations and by the good acting and picture, Eastwood excelled when directing this movie.
ACTOR:
Should win: Jamie Foxx Will win: Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx, known for working with the Wayans brothers, steps out of the box and gets rid of the comedian stereotype by performing flawlessly as Ray Charles. Not only did this ground-breaker sing marvelously but Foxx also captures Ray Charles' essence by imitating his gestures.
ACTRESS
Should win: Annette Bening
Will win: Hilary Swank
Annette Bening captures the eccentricities of actress Julia Lambert. From creating drama to enjoying love, Bening shows Lambert's complex personality. However, Hilary Swank from Million Dollar Baby also performs well and has the advantage of forming part of a movie which has gotten much attention.
SUPPORTING ACTOR:
Should win: Jamie Foxx
Will win: Morgan Freeman
Jamie Foxx demonstrates his acting skills once again working alongside Tom
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Should Win: The Motorcycle Diaries
Will win: Finding Neverland
Cruise in Collateral. Foxx complements Cruise to make Collateral an exciting story. Neverthless, Morgan Freeman from Million Dollar Baby is known to be an excellent actor and demonstrates it again in his role as Eddie "Scrap-Iron Dupris.
SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Should Win: Cate Blanchett
Will Win: Cate Blanchett
SUPPORTING ACTRESS
In The Aviator, Cate Blanchett plays one of Howard Hughes' (Leonardo DiCaprio) love interests, Katharine Hepburn. Blanchett captures Hepburn's essence not to mention her voice. Through the scenes of love and "hate," Blanchett and DiCaprio contribute to make the film interesting despite its length.
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
Should Win: Hotel Rwanda
Will Win: The Aviator
The Motorcycle Diaries tells the story of Argentinean revolutionary, Ernesto "Che" Guevara before becoming a rebel. The chronicle has not been exaggerated but rather uses images and story to give a human side to a character often portrayed negatively.
—Alaide Vilchis Ibarra
Hotel Rwanda tells the story of the Sudanese Massacre and Paul Rusesabagina (Domin Cheadle) who attempts to help persecuted Tutsis by offering them shelter. This film contains strong images which puts in perspective the immensity of the massacre. The story is complemented by good picture as well as direction.
Constantine
(★★)
R, 121 minutes. South
Wind 12
POTSENBURG
Movies about Satan and Hell are not uplifting. The subject matter is so dark and
Courtesy www.movies.yahoo.com
evil that it's hard to actually like a movie about it. The latest is Constantine, based on a comic book and filled with some interesting and flat-out cool moments which make it not all that bad.
Eight years ago, Keanu Reeves faced off against Satan, played by Al Pacino, in The Devil's Advocate. Here he plays John Constantine, a spiritual detective who has literally been to Hell and back. Constantine, not unlike Batman, has elements of being an antihero. Constantine's outfit isn't anything fancy like the Dark Knight's, though: His wardrobe consists only of a dark jacket, dress shirt, loosely tied black tie that never comes off and a lit cigarette that seems to be permanently stuck in his mouth. The cigarette leads to one of the most interesting things about the character. Early in the film we learn that Constantine has lung cancer and is constantly hacking up blood or something nasty. Tell me the last
comic book hero who's had cancer and will die within the year?
The plot of the movie has Constantine teamed up with a cop (Rachel Weisz) who is investigating the apparent suicide of her twin sister. Strange clues
lead her to Constantine's door step, and he informs her that humans are caught up in a bet between Heaven and Hell regarding the souls of mankind. Constantine's job is to make sure that the rules of the bet are enforced — that the demons of Hell don't influence the wager by making direct contact with humans.
One of the things that drags Constantine down is that the Devil and demons make such uninteresting villains. They're just evil — plain and simple — and Constantine has an easy time of disposing of them, especially for personifications of evil. It's easy to say "I'm evil. Be afraid of me." It's hard to make Satan a full-bodied character. Constantine isn't all bad, and for a movie with such a dark subject, it has enough bright moments to balance it out. Too bad the devil is so two-dimensional.
Son of the Mask (Zero stars) PG,86 minutes, Southwind 12
Jon Ralston
Son of the Mask joins such films as Home Alone 3 and Dumb and Dumberer as one of the worst bastard sequels of all
time. "What is a bastard sequel?" you ask. A bastard sequel is a remake of a relatively successful film that contains absolutely none of the talent or imagination that made the original a success. I can only attempt to picture what the studio execs at New Line Cinema were thinking when they approved this project:
Courtesy www.movies.yahoo.com
"You remember that movie The Mask that came out more than 10 years ago? That was pretty funny; let's do a remake. What? We can't get Jim Carrey? We can't get Cameron Diaz? We can't get the director or the screenwriter or the editor or the gaffer to come back? Well, what can we get? A dog and the original mask prop? Well, that's enough! Now lets cobble together some asinine plot, cast a lot of
unknown actors and market it to a bunch of unsuspecting pre-teens in February!
There might have been a plot, but I'm not really sure. I think it has something to do with a talentless Jamie Kennedy (as Tim Avery) finding "the mask" and putting it on. Later, Avery and his wife have a son, but because Avery was wearing "the mask" when his son was conceived, the
kid is now imbued with all the CGI powers of Odin himself. Well actually Odin's son Loki. It seems that Loki, the Norse god of mischief, created the mask and now wants it back. I can't imagine what hijinks ensue.
A handful of worthwhile performers, such as Alan Cumming, Ben Stein and Steven Wright compromise their talents, but ultimately they take
backstage to a load of unconvincing and unappealing computer animation. At one point during this mess of a film, a quote from Kennedy struck me as the perfect summation of the movie: "It's the crappiest piece of crap in craptown."

Mechassault 2: Lone Wolf
about story anyway?
What does matter is the game's inherent action. Day One Studios has created one of the most exciting futuristic battlefield experiences ever. Everything from the explosions of towering skyscrapers to the thunderstorms of the mechs themselves will keep players immersed in the game's setting. The new ability to exit the mech and commander other vehicles such as tanks, man-sized battlesuits and dropships gives players a real sense of scale, as well as a variety of play options.

play.
Unfortunately, Mechassault 2 does have its pitfalls. The single-player campaign, while exciting at the beginning, gets more than a little repetitive after the first few missions. The game's online mode still lacks a few of the options players have grown accustomed to in today's flock of Xbox Live games. Even the gameplay is simplistic at its core, resulting in a real sense of monotony after a while.
Andrew Campbell
Shaman King:
Power of Spirit
Grade: B+
Normally I'm not a really big fan of strategy games, but Shaman King takes a different approach to the genre. Instead of the action being totally turn-based the game incorporates two styles of play into a unique experience.
PS2
a unique experience.
The story of Shaman King follows a young man named Yoh Asakura and his dumb friends as they fight enemies and learn life lessons while they journey to become the champion of the Shaman King tournament. Naturally, they come across many people who wish to thwart their ambitions and cause them mental anguish. OK, so it may be the same clichéd story we've seen a thousand times and delivered in crappy non-animated storyboards, but that's not the point. The game-play itself is the interesting part.
play itself is the interesting part. The first part of the game is strategy, where you maneuver your characters around the play field to position them for attack. Once a battle is initiated you are taken away from the strategy screen and into a semi 3-D fighting arena. At the beginning of the game your character is limited in combos, but gains new powers

from experience gained in battles. Battles start off rather easy and get progressively more difficult as the number and strength of enemies increases with each successive episode, or level. Most battles are short and far outweighed by the cutesy Japanese anime scenes.
As with any good anime offshoot, a diverse number of stereotypical characters are portrayed. There is the nonchalant protagonist, the dumb, spiky-haired kid, and the mean-nice guy. Each of these characters is annoying and forgettable, much like the story. So basically this game provides some unique, entertaining gameplay at the cost of a whole bunch of whiny kids and bad animation. If you can deal with that, then give it a go.

Speaking my mind in my mother tongue
Not at a loss for words
By Maha Masud, Jayplay writer
Illustration by Scott Drummond

Scott Drummond
A.
"Na mommy, ah-mee jete chai-na!" "No mommy, I don't want to go!" I began my first day of preschool in Kuwait, where lived for a year and half, with pouts and pleas to stay at home. No more afternoons watching the Mickey Mouse Club and drinking banana milk at home with my mom.
And as if going to school in a new country weren't enough for my 4-year-old mind to comprehend, I wouldn't be speaking Bengali, the language of my parents' native country Bangladesh, in the classroom. At the time I understood and spoke both Bengali and English, but when my mom told me I'd have to speak English at preschool, I threw a fit. After some coercing from my mom and a glass of banana milk, I gave in and my mom taught me a few key, polite phrases to use while I was at school: "Teacher, I want to go outside and play," "Teacher, I want something to eat," and the all-important "Teacher, I have to go to the bathroom." Now I'm a different person from that little girl who sniffed at the idea of speaking English all the time.
We moved back to the United States when I was 5. I started school and barely spoke Bengali again. Because my parents were*comfortable switching back and forth with English, and because I started to show a preference for speaking English, they never insisted I speak their mother tongue at home. As a result, my Bengali was stunted at a kindergartner's level.
I never really shunned the ethnic half of my personality, but I didn't fully embrace it, either. Most everyone I knew growing up were white Americans, so my childhood was filled with turkey sandwiches for lunch at school and rice with curries for dinner at home. It was always a balancing act for me, but I tended to focus more on the tangible parts of my culture—the clothes and the food—as the language faded further and further into the background.
A new language appeared in my life around middle school, when I began learning Spanish. It was then I realized how sad my Bengali speaking skills had become. I could translate an English word into Spanish quicker than I could to Bengali. It took an embarrassing incident at a family dinner to finally convince me that in abandoning Bengali, I was denying a crucial part of myself.
At one point in high school, my uncle and his family from Bangladesh were living with us. In accommodating my cousins and aunt whose English wasn't so good, a perfect opportunity opened up to practice my speaking skills. I was decent but struggled sometimes to get my point across. That opportunity soon turned into a nightmare one night at the dinner table. As we were finishing the meal, I was trying to compliment my aunt on one of the dishes she made. "Thomar raana khub moh-ja," I said smiling at her, under the impression that I had said her cooking was
delicious. The whole table, even my parents, erupted in a thunderous clap of laughter and pointed at me, while through their gasps tried to correct me. In my error, a stellar example showcasing my ignorance of the delicate pronunciations of Bengali words and my strong American accent, I'd called my aunt's cooking mohja (socks) instead of maw-ja (delicious). I might as well have saved myself the trouble and said her cooking stunk like the socks I'd forgotten to change that day. Everyone else thought my mistake was "cute," but I wasn't laughing. Mortified, I ran to the bathroom to cry and wallow alone in my humiliation. I confronted my mom later and asked her why she would laugh at me when she knew how sensitive I was. She replied with an exasperated sigh and then a chuckle and explained she wasn't laughing at me but more at the way my little mistake sounded, like a child who couldn't quite speak properly yet. But I wasn't a child. I was 17 years old, and I'd wasted my bilingual birthright.
Fast-forward a couple of years. My interest in improving my speaking skills was renewed recently when a friend came back from visiting India. After being there for only three weeks during winter break, he "picked up" reading and writing Hindi another South Asian language, similar to Bengali. Watching him carefully shape the letters of Hindi script to write "Maha," and grin with pleasure after sounding out a sentence from a Hindi newspaper, I wasn't clapping and cheering with the rest of my friends at his accomplishment. Instead, I felt horrified and ashamed at myself. He could read and write Hindi after only 21 days of visiting a land and culture completely foreign to him, but after 21 years. I could only write my name in Bengali and speak at a level that would rival a 5-year-old's.
Armed with newfound courage and taking advantage of the fact that it was the new year, I made a resolution to take small steps in improving my speaking skills by using the resources I have: my parents. To waste this skill would be a huge mistake, and I decided that I needed to put aside my fear of looking stupid in front of others. Now when I call my mom, I no longer just ask her how she is, but smiling shyly, even though I realize how ridiculous it is that I'm smiling at a phone, I say "Kemon acho? Kee khobor?" Meaning "How are you? What's up?" As I do, I can sense her smile as she replies back, "Etho, bhalo aachee Behshee keechu na. Raana korchee," or "I'm fine, nothing much, just doing some cooking." Now I hang up the phone feeling satisfied with myself that I am making an effort. I feel closer to my culture and to myself because it's like I've found a part of myself I thought I'd lost, and this time I'm moving a little further from turkey sandwiches and back to rice and curry.

FOOTBALL Minnesota Vikings trade Randy Moss
Meghan Miller, senior goalkeeper (No.1), Rachel Gilfillan, senior forward (right of Miller), and Monica Brothers, senior forward (No.11), celebrate after winning the the Big 12 Conference Championship last October. Miller, Gilfillan and Brothers, along with four other seniors, were part of the most successful class in KU women's soccer history and will go their separate ways after graduation this spring.
MINNEAPOLIS — Randy Moss is heading for Oakland, the receiver's agent said yesterday.

Dante DiTrapano, Moss' agent, said that the Minnesota Vikings and the Raiders had "come to an agreement on Randy playing for Oakland next year."
trade reports. DiTrapano said he didn't know the terms of the deal, but the Pioneer Press reported the Vikings would get linebacker Napoleon Harris, along with the seventh overall pick and a late-round pick in the upcoming draft.
Moss had been the subject of trade rumors following this past season. He struggled with a hamstring injury, but still finished with 13 touchdown catches.
The deal cannot become official until March 2, the start of the NFLs fiscal year.
He was fined $10,000 for pretending to pull down his pants and moon the Green Bay crowd during Minnesota's playoff win. He also drew criticism for leaving the field with 2 seconds left in a regular-season loss against Washington.
Neither the Vikings nor the Raiders would confirm the deal, which was first reported by The St. Paul Pioneer Press on its Web site.

Raiders spokesman Mike Taylor declined comment on the trade reports.

The organization's patience with the receiver seemed to dwindle in the past year or so.
DiTrapano said Moss was "very pleased to be going to Oakland and looking forward to playing with a team that's promised they're going to throw the ball deep a whole lot to him and having a chance at winning the Super Bowl."
"He doesn't leave Minnesota with any grudges," DiTrapano said. "It just was frustrating for him to lose."

Seniors recall time with team

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
"I think the moment that I will remember most was winning the Big 12 championship," Miller said.
For a team to be successful in college athletics, it needs to have senior leadership. This year's Jayhawk soccer team had plenty of that. The seven seniors led the Jayhawks to their most successful season in school history with an 18-5-0 record and a Big 12 Championship.
For most of the seniors, this season was the last time they would be able to play organized soccer.
Championship Final
Senior Meghan Miller said the championship was the most memorable event of the season.
Following that impressive season in 2002, the then-sophomores helped lead their team to a 6-1-1 start, which was the best start ever for the Jayhawks at the time. In 2005, the girls marked the Jayhawks' first victory over Big 12 conference-rival Nebraska. They also beat Big-12 foe Missouri twice that season, both times in Columbia, Mo.
Since their arrival in 2001, these seniors have helped to lead their team to new heights and records for the University. During their first season in 2001, the Jayhawks set a school record for having the best record in school history, a 13-7-0 mark. They made their first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.
soccer.
Senior Gabriela Quiggle knows that the opportunities to play soccer after graduation are slim.
To conclude the 2003 season, they led the Jayhawks to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament. This past season topped it all off for the seniors when the team beat Iowa State on Oct. 29 and clinched the Big 12 Championship.
siml. "There are not too many opportunities to play soccer elsewhere seeing as there is no pro league," Quiggle said. "I have flirted with the idea of playing overseas, but finishing school right now is my main priority."
Now all that is left for these seniors is memories of the past four years. Senior Monica Brothers says the off-field memories of this season will stay with her forever.
her forever.
"Rachel Gilfillan would always do a 'routine' before every Sunday game," Brothers said. "It was the last game we played against Nebraska, she was in the locker room, doing her 'routine,' and when it was over she tried to make a good exit and she dove into a cart and flipped over and fell hard. Every single player was on the ground laughing."
lasting memories was from a game this season.
game this season.
"My favorite memory from the year is beating A&M, basically securing at least a share of the conference title." Leeper said of the team's 1-0 victory against Texas A&M.
Whether it is memories from off the field or on the field, the seniors will not forget their time spent as a part of Jayhawk soccer. For Miller, Jayhawk soccer has become important enough to her that she plans to be back next season.
"I am helping coach the Jayhawks this spring and next year because coaching is something that I want to give serious thought to."
Quiggle said she felt that the team's success made it easier to
say goodbye.
"This was a great season to end on for the seven of us," she said. Four years ago Brothers, Leeper, Miller, Amy Geha, Quiggle, Gilfillan and Lauren Williams started their journey with the Jayhawk soccer program, and they now leave a legacy at the University of Kansas that can't be forgotten. Leeper said the turnaround in Jayhawk soccer is one she will never forget.

"It is a great feeling to know that we were a part of turning a program completely around. It is a great accomplishment that I will remember for a lifetime." Leeper said.

BOWLING
Bowling team must travel to compete
The third-ranked KU men's bowling team will have to face two other top-eight teams at their IBC Sectional Qualifier in Chattanooga. Tenn., because of an unprecedented decision from College Bowling USA.
to Lexington, my wife, "I'm very disappointed.
This is the second year in a row we've been sent further out," Fine said about going to the Chattanooga Sectional instead of the Fairview Heights, Ill., Sectional. He said he was not only disappointed about the situation but also with decisions made across the board.
By having three of the top-eight teams from the power rankings in one sectional, CBUSA "violates its own rule," Kansas coach Mike Fine said. The rule he is referring to is to not have more than two of the top-eight teams from the power rankings at the same sectional. This was the same rule that prevented Kansas from competing in Kansas City last year and shipped them out to Lexington, Ky.
The No.1 seed the men's team received was the highest they have had at a sectional. The women's team also received its highest seeding ever — No.2 — at the Chattanooga Sectional.
"It is going to be very challenging for both men and women to get out of the sectionals," Fine said. "The men's field is eight deep and has the possibility of not having the top four seeds coming out of it."
The IBC Sectional Qualifiers will be held from March 19 to 20 in Allentown, Pa. and San Jose, Calif., along with the Chattanooga and the Fairview Heights sectionals. The top-four teams from each sectional will then compete at the championships in Rockford, III.

College, senators clash
BY NATE KARLIN AND DANIEL BERK editor@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
University officials and some members of Student Senate are disagreeing on a referendum for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences differential tuition.
A 1982 statute requires a referendum, which is essentially a vote, to be used whenever an institution under the Kansas Board of Regents requests a bond for building or maintaining facilities, according to statute 76-742 of Kansas law.
statute 107424 The college will use a 20-year bond to jump-start production
of the new Natural Sciences building and a renovation of Wescoe Hall.
The statute didn't specify the definition of a referendum so the administration decided to use a survey as the referendum, Provost David Shulenburger said.
In order to use a survey as a referendum, the survey must clearly identify itself as a referendum, said Richard Levy, professor of law. Not acknowledging it could be unfair to voters, he said.
"If you knew it was a referendum, you would probably take it more seriously." he said.
Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal
arts and sciences, said that students should have picked up on the fact that the survey was a referendum because several e-mails, including the survey itself, that went out to all students had the words "your last opportunity" in bold and italicized characters. Those words were in the sentence. "The link below will take you to a survey which is your last opportunity to weigh in on whether you think such a tuition should be applied to all College of Liberal Arts and Sciences courses." The survey was sent in an e-mail to all students.
Ryan Faulconer, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, and
author of a bill that would put the issue to another referendum for the April elections was unaware of the law until yesterday and didn't know if the survey sent out by the college qualifies as a referendum.
"My thought is if it is a referendum, why are they calling it a survey?" Faulconer said. "I think the law just gives more credibility to the bill that was passed last night."
The law says that no student fees should be charged or collected unless a student referendum has been made public and presented to the Regents prior to any contract for construction on any building.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway will make a presentation to the Regents in May proposing the tuition increase. Hemenway and other administration officials will present the results of the CLAS survey to the Regents.
"I think a second vote would be very unfortunate." Wilcox said. "It creates a risk of confusion and would only frustrate students. I don't see any reason
If Faulconer's bill passes next week in front of full Senate, the referendum will be on the ballot for April elections. Wilcox said Faulconer's bill would be unnecessary if it makes its way onto the ballot.
to vote on the same thing twice."
The only reason the administration decided to use the survey as the referendum was to segregate school votes, unlike the Student Senate referendum, Shulenburger said.
Wilcox said the reason the college decided to use the survey was to learn more about CLAS facilities.
The survey will be completed by 5 p.m.
Marcia Powers, information specialist for the college, said the results of the survey will be ready for the public by the middle-to-end of next week.

Personal training program offers great experience, but fills up fast

David Herrera has helped a 350-pound, 40-year-old diabetic drop 285 pounds. It's all part of his job as a personal trainer at the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
"I could always tell how we were doing because of how he changed notches in his belt," Herrera, Lawrence senior, said. "In the end, he had to punch new holes in it."
The Student Recreation Fitness Center offers free personal training to all students. The center has 40 one-hour slots available per week. People can take two sessions a week, so at least 20 people sign up in any given week. The slots always fill up every two weeks during sign up, said Jill Urkoski, associate director of recreation services.

Additional sessions or any purchased after the first 40 are filled are $10 each, Urkoski said.
The four paid student trainers range in experience from Herrera, who has been a personal trainer for a year and a half, to Josh Magaha, Leavenworth senior and a trainer for three years.

If a client doesn't show up or only comes in for two weeks, Herrera can't do much for them.
"My philosophy just doesn't go well short-term," he said.
Magaha's approach emphasizes cardiovascular, resistance and flexibility training to provide a long-term fitness routine. He is wary of people just want to develop their upper-body muscles or are just concerned about losing weight fast, and he has a reputation for being tough.
A personal trainer for three years, Magaha has seen a lot. The premedical student has worked with bulimia and anorexia. He also helped one client lose 200 pounds.
"I've been told I can be a little tough on people," he said.

Downtown waterline getting replacement
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Businesses in downtown Lawrence will have to go with the flow of a waterline replacement project that will begin this spring.
The waterline that now supplies downtown is 118 years old and has become encrusted with mineral deposits, said Brian Kingsley, project manager for BG Consultants, Inc.
Repacing the entire water line will take three years to complete, according to a proposal by BG Consultants. The first stage of the project, which should begin in mid-April, will close parking on the east side of Massachusetts Street between Sixth and Seventh streets, said Chris Stewart, assistant utilities director of water for the city. It also will tear up part of the sidewalk along Sixth Street, he said.

Lawrence faces potholes following winter storms
A worker is using a rake to level a patch of dirt on the street.
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Chad Rodriguez, Lawrence public works employee, helps make permanent repairs to a pothole on Iowa Street just before Harvard Road yesterday afternoon. Public works employees are making similar repairs throughout Lawrence.
After a wet winter, the Lawrence public works department is not just shoveling asphalt into pot holes around the city, they're shoveling around money as well.
The City of Lawrence Public Works Department does its heaviest work after rain or ice storms, said Bryce Campbell, field supervisor for public works.
"We try to fix problems as quickly as we can," said Campbell. "After a big rain storm or when ice and snow melt, we go out and fix as many as we can."
many as we can.
During a day where public works sends its full repair teams out, the cost for worker's wages are about $2,160 a day for around 20 men. Cold mix, which is a cold substitute for asphalt, costs about $262.50 for five trucks carrying 1.5 tons.
ing 1.3 tons.
Pothole repair costs the city approximately $6.06 per hole, which is calculated with wages, number of workers and cost of materials after a storm.
This cost per pothole is an approximation and can change with the number of workers out on the street and the difference in wages.
Cost-saving possibilities do exist for the long-term, said Jie Han, professor of civil engineering.
Lawrence pays $2,422.50 a day for cold mix and a full crew of workers in an eight hour day, based on figures provided by Campbell.
Funding for road development comes from taxes, said Debbie Van Saun, assistant city manager. The city uses a 25 cent state gas tax and property and sales taxes to pay for the street division of public works.
some works.
"We really try and give each department a budget that will work for them and us," Van Saun said.
"However, we only have a finite amount of revenue."
"Instead of just dumping asphalt into the hole," Han said. "They could use a substance called geosynthetics."
If a small layer of geosynthetic is placed at the bottom of a hole, it can prevent water from eroding the patched hole.
Costs of geosynthetics are more expensive, anywhere from $1 to $5 per square yard. Han said.
Han said.
The new technology may be hard for cities, which already battle year to year with budgets, to invest in.
The 2005 budget for the street division of public works was more than $2 million.
Compared with at least one neighboring city, Lawrence is spending close to the same amount on street repairs.
Boston Wages cost the City of Topeka Public Works Department about $1,056 for 12 workers. Cold mix costs Topeka $426.80 for four
trucks each carrying two tons
The number of potholes repaired in a day is unknown, said David Bevins, Topeka public works spokesman.
"We don't really know how many we repair; we don't really work like that." Bevins said. "We start on a street and repair all along that street, we think of repair more in terms of city blocks."
of city blocks.
Both public works departments said they did all they could with the money they had, but said it could not do some things right away.
To meet the demand of pothole calls, Topeka started a hotline in which a person could call and notify public works of a problem, Bevins said. The department usually sends a crew within five days for the repair.

taped station. Wednesday was the fourth day of Murray's first-degree murder trial in connection with the death of Ross. A Douglas County District Court jury spent the entire day watching Murray's interview.
Ross was found stabbed and beaten to death in her home outside of Lawrence. Prosecutors claim Murray killed his ex-wife because he didn't want to lose custody of the couple's 4-year-old daughter.
Jurors watched Wednesday as Murray changed his alibi in his statement and frequently added minor details when pushed by detectives.
Testimony in the trial continued yesterday.

Mark Turrentine listens as Babette Crowder answers questions from the casting crew from the Mark Burnett Production Company during an audition for "The Apprentice." Turrentine and Crowder, both KU alumni, attended the casting call in Summerfield Hall yesterday. The casting call was for Kansas alumni in the work force. It was done on campus so interviewees could avoid long lines at the other casting call that will be held in Union Station, 2300 Main St., Kansas City, Mo., tomorrow.
Two of the contestants, Lauren Williams, Overland Park resident and 2004 graduate, and Mark Turrentine, Overland Park resident and 1998 graduate, came for the auditions because they are fans of the show.

snow. For Williams, a recent graduate, being on campus was strangely familiar.
"I feel like I should go to class after this." Williams said.
The discussion was led by Kristina MeGann, casting director for Mark Burnett Productions Inc., and Kathie Kopa, casting associate.
All three auditioners sat in a conference room and discussed topics such as companies forcing employees to quit smoking for cheaper insurance and dating coworkers.
The three interviewees were often non-committal, and failed to reach any consensus. Whenever the auditioners agreed to disagree or when conversation lagged, Kopa would encourage more talking.
"What about fat people?" She said, of a possible health insurance factor at work. "Where do you draw the line? Can you tell them to put the doughnut down?"
They also discussed the latest season of "The Apprentice." McGann and Kopa asked the group if they felt that the show was sending the message to young viewers that a college degree wasn't important.
"Those people are better at marketing themselves," Turrentine said.
"People without degrees worked better because of their creativity and gumption."
It's all about their drive, Williams said.
"I'd thought it would be interesting to go. It's the only reality TV show I've watched that I find interesting."

California mudslides cause evacuations
LOS ANGELES — For firefighters, there's little time to stop and eat or even use the restroom. For road crews, there are thousands of potholes — some the size of cars.
While skies cleared Wednesday over Southern California, a six-day drenching left city workers scrambling to keep up with a rush of calls for collapsing homes, roads choked with mud - not to mention house-sized boulders seemingly ready to tumble down hillsides. At least nine people have died in the deluge.
In Los Angeles, city engineers slapped red or yellow tags on more than 100 homes, rendering them temporarily uninhabitable or safe for only limited entry.
Crews responded to 270 mudslides, some of which forced evacuations after crashing into homes, said Los Angeles Public Works Department Commissioner Janice Wood
commissioner Janice Wood. The damage spread south into Orange and San Diego counties — where dozens of homes were slipping or evacuated following landslides — and across the border into Tijuana, Mexico, where the Office of Civil Protection reported at least seven homes had collapsed and more than 150 people were evacuated.
Warnings have been placed
on thousands of houses, Tijuana Civil Protection Director Humberto Garcia said, though some families don't want to leave for fear their belongings could be looted.
A house-sized boulder teetered above Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, forcing the closure of a two-mile stretch of the well-worn road. Crews planned to inject the rock with a type of gel that would cause it to disintegrate from the inside.
Everyone in the Los Angeles Public Works Department licensed to evaluate whether shifting ground had made homes uninhabitable was in the field, according to commissioner Janice Wood.

In downtown, rainfall has reached 9.14 inches, bringing the total since July 1 to 34.36 inches - the most in Los Angeles since 1889-90. The yearly average is about 15 inches.
Kline seeks abortion files
TOPEKA — In an investigation conducted secretly for months, the Kansas attorney general is demanding that clinics turn over the complete medical records of neatly 90 women and girls who had abortions.
BY JOHN MILBURN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
and girls who are two abortion clinics are fighting the request in Kansas Supreme Court, saying the state has no right to such personal information. But Attorney General Phil Kline said yesterday he was simply enforcing state law.
"I have the duty to investigate and prosecute child rape and other crimes in order to protect Kansas children," Kline, an abortion opponent, said at a news conference.
Kline is seeking the records of girls who had abortions and women who received late-term abortions.
The Associated Press
Sex involving someone under 16 is illegal in Kansas, and it is illegal in the state for doctors to perform abortions after 22 weeks unless there is reason to believe it is needed to protect the mother's health.
Kline spoke to reporters after details of the investigation, which began in October, surfaced in a legal brief filed by attorneys for two medical clinics. The clinics argued that unless the high court intervenes, women who obtained abortions could find government agents knocking at their door.
knotting at the clinics said Kline demanded their complete, unedited medical records for women who sought abortions at least 22 weeks into their pregnancies in 2003, as well as those for girls 15 and younger who sought abortions. Court papers did not identify the clinics
The records sought include
the patient's name, medical history, details of her sex life, birth control practices and psychological profile.
logical probe. The clinics, which said nearly 90 women and girls would be affected, were offering to provide records with some key information, including names, edited out.
"These women's rights will be sacrificed if this fishing expedition is not halted or narrowed," the clinics said in court papers.
On Oct. 21, state District Judge Richard Anderson ruled that Kline could have the files. The clinics then filed an appeal with the high court. No hearing has been scheduled.
The clinics outlined their legal arguments in a brief filed Tuesday. Though other documents in the case remain sealed, the brief filed Tuesday was not, and the Wichita Eagle disclosed Kline's investigation in a story published yesterday.
In their brief, the clinics' attorneys said a gag order prevented the clinics from even disclosing to patients that their records were being sought. Attorneys declined to comment yesterday, citing the order.
"You can see our desire to discuss as much as possible, but we feel constrained," said attorney Lee Thompson.
hey Lee Hawkson
Kline began pushing in 2003
to require health care professionals to report underage sexual activity. Kline contends state law requires such reporting, but a federal judge blocked him.
The case has yet to be resolved
Speaking yesterday at a Statehouse news conference, three Republican legislators said the right of the state to prosecute a crime outweighs the right to individual privacy.
"I want to know what's going on in Kansas," said Sen. Susan Wagle (R-Wichita) and an abortion opponent.

CLAS. Tuition Increase CUICON
Duh...NOW I understand the CLAS Tuition increase proposal
Doug Lang/KAN
February insufficient for Black history education
▼ TIERRA TALKS
I dislike Black History Month. Here's why:
---
- February is the shortest month.
Only commercial leaders, such as Martin Luther King Jr., are recognized.
TIERRA SCOTT
tscott@kansan.com
♦ Outsiders think they are educated in black history because TV shows air superficial 10 second history lesson
- A constant message is relayed in February that blacks have come far since slavery. But there is no emphasis on the times before slavery, nor is there emphasis on what happened during slavery.
erly. Of the 12 months in a year, blacks as usual, get the short end of the stick and receive the shortest month to celebrate their history. As rich and fruitful as the history of blacks is, there is no way to tell the entire history in one month. This means that a lot of vital information and facts are left out and distorted.
What is even more pathetic about the situation is that the 28 days in February are the only days that other races recognize blacks and their achievements and are partially interested in their history.
Martin Luther King Jr. and other commercial leaders, like Harriett Tubman and Malcolm X are the leaders discussed in the classrooms across the United States. Any student could give a brief explanation of the contributions each above leader gave to the African-American community.
American community. The history books forgot to mention important leaders such as Fred Hampton, the leader of the Black Panther Party in the 1970s, Richard Pryor, who helped pave the way for black comedians and "Ma" Rainey, who helped lead the way for black entertainers.
Most blacks are constantly reminded of their history because it is a part of their identity. Other races that are considered minorities only receive glimpses of the history of blacks unless they choose to do their own research of black history.
The brief glimpses come from the shows that run on television during the month of February. Channels like the Disney Channel and UPN usually have brief periods throughout the day that
Just because someone learned a couple of new facts or watched a documentary about one black leader does not mean that they are educated in the history of blacks
reflects on Black History Month.
books all have a common message. The message is that blacks have come far since slavery. But black history does not start with slavery. No one mentions the life our ancestors lived when they were in Africa. We were kings and queens before slavery started. We ran our own kingdoms. We were royalty.
The television shows that run in February and the history
Although slavery began in America more than 400 years ago, there is no emphasis on the harsh reality of slavery. Historians cannot begin to estimate how many slaves were killed from the time of their captivity in Africa to the time they reached North America. There is simply no way of knowing how many people died during those slavery voyages. If the Atlantic Ocean could talk, we could try to begin tallying the death toll for slavery.
Then again, the stories that the Atlantic Ocean could tell might be another taboo issue because no one wants to remind the world about what the Europeans did to blacks. No one wants to remember that blacks were chained together in their own feces on little ships for months at a time and forced to breed and be sex toys for their masters. Sharks followed those slave ships because the slaves were thrown overboard if they were considered useless. And no one mentions that the United States was literally built on the backs of our ancestors.
Black history should be a year-long event. A simple 28 days of charity interest is not needed. Black-history facts about non-commercial and commercial leaders should always appear on UPN. Also, if there is going to be emphasis on the lives of blacks, both past and present, nothing but the truth should be stated. It is not history. With only one side of the story being told, it is nothing but his-story.
EDITORIAL BOARD
Tuition increase hurts in-state students most
How much do we want to pay for what we get? This was a question that was posed by College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean Kim Wilcox before the editorial board and at numerous other meetings pertaining to the proposed differential tuition increase.
♦ Scott is a Chicago junior in journalism
The facts have been displayed in The University Daily Kansan before, written
University Daily Kansan about by many people from many angles. This has not deterred the dean and other proponents from trying to toss in one last hurrah, a final opportunity to reach those students who may have been living in a hole for the last semester or who have just not picked up the paper.
They offered the Kansan two articles in the hopes that a quick printing might reach
The University won't be the affordable institution it is now if the CLAS differential tuition proposal passes. In-state students will be among the most affected.
a quick printing might those who were still undecided on the topic of the tuition increase. Both articles stressed that the increase might bring, in time, many things that KU students cannot enjoy now. From shorter lines at The Underground to a new and improved Wescoe Hall, the possibilities seem endless. As nice as it all sounds, this increase would have consequences for many students, mostly those from within the state.
The University of Kansas gives many students the opportunity to receive a college education at a reasonable price. For many, the University is a diamond in the financial rough, an opportunity to go to a local college and get a quality education. The tuition increase will in fact hit the Kansas students — those paying in-state tuition — more than it will the out-ofstate demographic. The increase, the dean said, would still place the University's in-state tuition lower than Missouri's in-state tuition.
However nice this may sound, it does not
replace the fact that the pay hike will indefinitely price out many students with dreams of crimson and blue. Many students come to the University for the low cost. For the price of the education, it is a bargain.
Students already on financial aid will have another burden. For many, working outside of school makes it difficult to balance academics.
and make grades. It should be noted that students fought for 20 percent of the additional tuition to go to financial aid. This will not however change the fact that the tuition increase will still force some students to work more to make up the difference in cost.
This pricing out may also hack into the University's diversity, as many students
abroad are attracted to it for its reasonable price or are on financial aid plans.
The decision points to a possible change in direction on the University's horizon. When students vote on the increase, they will be voting to see which direction the University will go in the future.
The college should not implement its differential tuition proposal. Instead, the administration should budget more efficiently the tuition dollars it already receives.
As nice as improvements would be, an increase would simply separate the wheat from the stalk more students would be out of an education. The dean and his crew have done an admirable job of educating the student body of the advantages of a differential tuition, but another increase in tuition is not in the best interest of students.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Cultural issues deeper than columnist depicts
This morning I was innocently sitting in my recliner and reading the Kansan when I happened upon the opinion page. I read "Broaden world perspective; begin with Brazil tutorial" by Julia Melim Coelho on Feb. 18, and I must say that it was pretty weak.
be short sighted.
Maybe she stated her feelings incorrectly, but she has painted Americans in an all too monolithic manner. Whomever asked her those ridiculous questions about her country either suffers from a serious lack of manners or brain function. I can't decide which.
Her diatribe about American health practices and eating habits are worthy of being mentioned and her outside perspective is welcomed, but she is in Kansas, which is in the Midwest — the fattest part of the country.
If she were to travel to New York, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, etc. she would see that not all of the United States is the same. Her comments about bacon and eggs are quite unfounded, for I see that breakfast option as comfort food and her comments to
If Brazil's youth population is so health-minded then I hope that they are able to slow down the progression of AIDS and HIV that has affected that country so sharply.
One thing that I personally know about Brazil is that it happens to have a large marginalized, rural population. So large that countless American and European NGO, and Peace Corps volunteers are working hard to aid them in building a more sound infrastructure and educate people in the subject of community and personal health.
Finally, she has attempted to add some credibility to this editorial by citing a professor/countryman with whom she can identify.
I wished she would have shown a more well-rounded worldview by exploring the fact that both of our governments are currently suspected of corruption,have horrible environmental policies or have a history of violations against native populations.

The squirrel. Any squirrel that can cause half of the University to lose power deserves props. That squirrel sacrificed its life in the depths of a transformer just so students could get out of class on Wednesday.

This may be the last opportunity for students to get a word in about the college's differential tuition increase as online polling ends at 5 p.m. today, It's a shady deal when students can vote multiple times.

So how is Student Housing going to deal with the 3,000 freshmen that live in the residence halls without Hashinger?
Diana Robertson, associate director of Student Housing, said the department issued 350 Intent-to-Return cards to upperclassmen at the beginning of the semester who wanted to return to the residence halls. The cards guarantee upperclassmen a space in the halls.

CONSTRUCTION PHASES

Replacing the waterline to downtown will take three years to complete.The project will be completed in three phases.
Only one-way, north-bound traffic will be allowed on Massachusetts Street between Sixth and Seventh streets during construction, Stewart said. Part of Sixth Street between Tennessee and Massachusetts streets will also be closed temporarily, Stewart said.

Construction will obstruct deliveries the most, said Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewing Company. 636 Massachusetts St. Magerl said he often relied on daily food and beverage deliveries to operate his business. These deliveries will be much more difficult because of the construction. Magerl said.
Magerl said. The disruptions, the project is still a necessary improvement, Magerl said.
"Even though it's maddening to have construction occur, it's more frustrating to have unannounced, intermittent disruptions in the waterline," Magerl said.
Part of the waterline broke in
mid-January in the 900 block of Massachusetts Street. The street was blocked for a day while crews repaired it.

Quinton's Bar & Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., has had a waterline break every few years, said Greg Mann, manager. Mann said he did not expect the project to affect business very much. If construction limited access to the front of the bar, he would consider using the bar's back deck as the main entrance, Mann said.
Matti said. The new waterline will be constructed of stronger, more flexible iron, Stewart said. This will help prevent deterioration and breaks caused by shifts in the ground, he said.
The new pipe also will be treated with a special coating that will protect it from rusting.

Kingsey said. Magerl said this would improve the duration of filters in his brewery because it would not cause as much mineral build-up. Free State Brewing Company uses about eight different filtration systems to brew beer and serve the restaurant, Magerl said.
"We've been dealing with these problems for years," Magerl said. "It will be a relief to have them be a thing of the past."

Werts said he also understood the necessity of the project.
"It will be tough, and it will affect business," Werts said. "But there is nothing you can do. You just have to go with the flow."

Winner of Kansas, Oklahoma State game will take lead in Big 12
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@hansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
All good teams — and the players on them — have bad days. Thank the utility of sports.
That's the reality of sports.
Take Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre, arguably one of the best quarterbacks of all time. In the Packers', playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Favre threw four interceptions. That's like J.R. Giddens going 1-of-11 from the behind the arc or Keith Langford missing two free throws with the game on the line.
game on the one.
Kansas coach Bill Self said the difference, however, was that Favre didn't let bad days affect his game.
"Brett Favre has bad days, but I don't see him in an interview doubt himself," Self said. "He knows he's still the baddest player on the field whenever he gets on it, and I
think that is what we have to do," Self said.
With No.4 Oklahoma State, fresh off a bad day of its own, coming to town this Sunday, Kansas is looking at its biggest game of the season.
Both teams own 10-3 Big 12 Conference records. The winner of Sunday's match-up will garner the best record in the conference with two games left to play.
Self, who played at Oklahoma State from 1982-85 and coached there from 1987-93, said this would have been an important match-up no matter what, but when combined with Oklahoma's State's loss on Tuesday and Kansas' recent struggles, the game is even more magnified.
magnified. "I anticipate two teams hooking up pretty good," Self said. "I think that most people that follow our league believe that this is as big of game that our league will have this year."
There is no question that the Jayhawks (20-4) caught a break when the Cowboys fell to the Huskers. On paper, it gave the Jayhawks a chance to control their own destiny by winning the rest of their games. But Self said it was a bit of a relief to his players, especially the seniors.
the seniors. "I could tell it kinda gave them a breath of fresh air," Self said. "Not that they were overly excited, but they thought, 'now we can go take care of our business and have a shot.'"
shot.
If the Jayhawks want to have a shot, they are going to have to start making some. They have gone 7-of-33 from behind the arc in their last two games. On top of that, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Oklahoma all played zone against the Jayhawks, putting even more emphasis on perimeter shooting.
*We picked bad time for our star.*
ing perimeter players to be 3- of-29 from three," Self said. "When teams play zone, that is a bad time not to shoot the ball well. But the bottom line is that doesn't mean they are bad shooters, they just picked a bad time to go cold."
Self compared shooting to putting a golf ball. You can hit a good putt or take a good shot, but on a bad day, it just doesn't fall.
If the Jayhawks' shooting woes continue on Sunday, they will have to compensate with defensive effort and hustle.
The Iowa State Cyclones defeated the Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse and shot just 2-1of11 from beyond the arc and 34 percent from the field. Nevertheless, their defense held the Jayhawks to 4-of23 from three-point range and a 16 percent field goal percentage in the overtime period.

Point system gives loyal season ticket holders initial pick for seats
BY ROSS FITCH
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Long-time season ticket holders and donors to KU athletics will receive an extra benefit with the implementation of the Kansas Athletics Department's priority point system for football next season.
Fans who have had season tickets for 15 years or more and are Williams Educational Fund members, are guaranteed to sit within the 20-yard lines on the west side of Memorial Stadium regardless of point totals, said Jim Marchionv.
"When department officials were planning the implementation of the point system to football, we wanted to find some way of recognizing the contributions of long-time donors, especially those who have had to sit through some tough football seasons," Marchiony said. "I think people will be very pleased that we are giving a great deal of consideration to people holding season tickets for a long period of time."
associate athletics director for external affairs. It costs $100 per year to be a Williams Fund member.
With the exception of the guaranteed seats policy and a few other tweaks, the points system is the same as the one that was implemented for the 2004-2005 basketball season. Seating locations are determined by point totals. Donors are assigned points based on several criteria, including the number of season tickets purchased, membership in various clubs, alumni status, the number of years they have donated and the amount they have donated. The points system applies to any athletics event where there are assigned seats.
Other changes include moving visiting fans to the southeast sections of
the stadium. This will provide better location for Family Zone ticket holders, who sit in the north end of the stadium. The student section has also been moved farther to the north on the east side of the stadium.
And in an effort to ensure that Williams Fund members have priority for seat assignment, the department will hold a month-long "Select-A-Seat" campaign in May. During that month, Williams Fund members will have first pick for their seats.

Kansas to face another ranked foe
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Another Big 12 Conference match-up and Kansas will again face a ranked opponent. Tomorrow's 5 p.m. Sunflower Showdown at No. 18 Kansas State pits Kansas against a team it has not defeated in the last seven games.
This must be getting old.
Wednesday's 70-60 loss at home to No. 6 Baylor was the sixth straight loss to a ranked opponent this season.
to a Ranked opponent. The Baylor game pitted Kansas against its highest-ranked adversary of the season, and the Jayhawks rose
Game one in the Sunflower series brought the Wildcats a 63-45 victory, but the Jayhawks held a tie game at the half after opening the game by building a nine-point lead.
"We have been able to answer runs when we need to in games," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We need that confidence going into Kansas State."
to the occasion, responding to several Bavlor rallies in each half.
"We've got to make sure we set the tone at the beginning of the game," senior guard Aquanita Burras said.
Equally as important is maintaining that intensity for both periods.
Kansas did not contain the Kansas State barrage after halftime, and the Wildcats cruised to an easy victory.
whitecats crossed. But the Jayhawk team that previously limped through second halves is gone. Although the Big 12 schedule has left Kansas with a 12-13 (5-9 Big 12) record, the short roster has adapted to the demands of the conference schedule by putting together solid 40-minute performances.
"We played K-State pretty well the first time we played them this season," junior guard Erica Hallman said. "We are a much better team than we were the first time we played them."
Because of the weekly routine of facing highly talented opponents,
the Jayhawks no longer feel intimidated by paper statistics. In the Big 12, no game is a day off.
12. No game is a battle "It's pretty much just another game for us." Burras said of playing Kansas State. "We've just got to take it a day at a time."
For Kansas, there is only one day of rest and one day of practice in between Wednesday's Baylor game and the showdown with Kansas State, 19-6 (10-4). The lack of rest coupled with 40-minute games logged by junior forward Crystal Kemp and Burras could weigh on the Kansas squad Saturday.

FOR THE WEEKEND
JOE BANT

Forget last week, focus on Sunday
Kansas men's basketball fans, it's time to forget the past week and a half. Forget Texas Tech's Darryl Dora from the top of the key and Iowa State's Curtis Stinson spinning in the lane. Forget senior guard Aaron Miles' black eye and sophomore guard J.R. Giddens' 1-of-11 three-point shooting debacle. Forget three overtimes and three losses and Saturday's Allen Fieldhouse crowd streaming out after the game gray and silent as a funeral procession. Forget the 19-point Monday-night deficit trimmed twice to one but never erased, and forget three consecutive losses for the first time in more than a decade.
for the first time in more than 12 weeks Because Sunday, when co-Big 12 Conference leader Oklahoma State rolls into town, Kansas will have its shot at redemption. No, the Jajahawks can't get back their undefeated conference record and probably not their chance at a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, either, but with a victory Sunday, they can reclaim sole possession of the Big 12 lead as well as some of the respect they've lost in the last 11 days.
lost in the last 14 days. Oklahoma State's upset loss at Nebraska on Tuesday night dropped the Cowboys back down to 10-3 in the conference, the same record as the Jayhawks.' And if Kansas can beat Oklahoma State on Sunday and take back the Big 12 lead for itself, it's looking at games against bottom-tier conference teams Kansas State and Missouri to finish out the season.
those match-ups aren't going to be easy. The Wildcats played the Jayhawks tough a couple weeks ago, and the Tigers on the road are always difficult, but still, it's doubtful anyone would call those last two games the worst of Kansas' schedule. With a little momentum and vigilance, the Jayhawks should be able to stay in the driver's seat heading into the conference tournament.
Oklahoma State was arguably the biggest game of the season for Kansas from the very beginning. The Cowboys and Jawahks were both coming off deep tournament runs; the former made it to the Final Four, the latter to the Elite Eight. Both were picked preseason to finish No. 1 or No. 2 in the conference, and Kansas senior forward Wayne Simien was supposed to battle it out with Oklahoma State senior guard John Lucas for Big 12 Player of the Year.
12 Player of the Year.
Now, any argument about the importance of Sunday's game is gone. Oklahoma State is definitely the biggest game of the season. Win, and the Jayhawks can call their doldrums lifted, they can stop answering questions about their slump and they can get momentum back on their side as the season draws to a close and March Madness approaches.
Lose, and well, it's four straight losses for the first time since the probation year of 1989, two at Allen Fieldhouse in the same season for only the second time in more than a decade, and more importantly, the funk continues as do the questions.

DENVER — The Denver Broncos released guard Dan Neil yesterday, parting ways with one of the cornerstones of their solid offensive lines for the past eight seasons.
Broncos smooth roster kinks rework offensive line players
A third-round pick of the Broncos in 1997, Neil started 104 games over eight years with Denver. He was in the starting lineup last season until knee and stomach injuries slowed him, forcing him to miss Denver's final three regular-season games and the playoffs.

Neil's backup last season, Cooper Carlisle, is an unrestricted free agent, as is last year's start ing left guard, Ben Hamilton.
ing left guard, Ben Hankman.
The Broncos will likely try to keep Hamilton, and the rest of the line is expected to stay intact. Center Tom Nalen recently reworked his contract and tackles Matt Lepisis and George Foster are under contract, with Lepisis expected to rework his deal to help the Broncos.
"We got three quality starts." Price said of the home-opening series. "Once we get into league play, we need that in order to have a chance to win series."

Senior catcher Sean Richardson said he, too, was happy with the hurlers.
Junior Pitcher, Kodliak Quick, pitches during the South Dakota State game last week. The baseball team will depend on its solid pitching in today's series opener against Northern Colorado.
BASEBALL
Despite coming off a four-game winning streak, the Kansas baseball team won't be overconfident today in its series-opener against Northern Colorado.
The Jayhawks (10-3) rebounded from a winless trip to Stanford with a sweep of South Dakota State last weekend. In the series, Kansas out-scored South Dakota State 50-10. Jayhawk pitching was strong as well, improving their team ERA from 3.18 to 2.64 for the season, something that has pleased coach Ritch Price.
Despite the successful start, Price said the Jayhawks had plenty of room to improve. One problem has
been leaving runners on base. Thus far, Kansas batters have left 126 stranded, an average of 9.7 per game.
"Our situational hitting is something that we need to work on," Richardson said. "We have to drive in runs in clutch situations."
Price said the some of the players have struggled at the plate in critical moments of the game.
"I hope we continue to make progress in executing our short game," Price said. "When we have a few guys who are struggling at the plate, their problems magnify themselves when there are runners in scoring position. We need to do a better job with two strikes."
"We improved in our last series, but it is still not as consistent as it needs to be," Price said. "I hope we will get to the point where the one constant every day will be our defense. In order to be successful long term, we need to be better than we have been in the first 13 games."
Base running has also been a problem, especially against South Dakota, but this weekend Price said he hoped to see an improvement.
he Price also expects the defense to improve.
This weekend's opponent features another KU connection. Northern Colorado athletics director Jay Hinrichs is the former associate athletic director for facilities planning at Kansas.
Kansas "Jay helped me with a lot of the improvements that have taken place at Hoglund Ballpark since I've been here." Price said.
Northern Colorado (0-6) is reeling after a sweep last weekend at the hands of Creighton. The Bears will try to avoid surpassing their worst start in school history, an 0-8 record to begin the 1973 season. Last season, their first after returning to
Division I, the Bears won 29 games under coach Kevin Smallcomb.

Kansas to defend title in San Antonio

The Kansas men's golf team will head to San Antonio tomorrow after a one-week respite. The team will begin play at the UTSA Invitational on Monday.

on Monday.
Two weeks ago the team started its spring season in Walkoloo, Hawaii, where it finished in an 11th-place tie at the Taylor Made/Walkoloo Intercollege at the Walkoloo Village Course. The Jawahaws finished only two strokes behind Arizona State and Stanford, setting an all-time Kansas golf record by shooting 31 under as a team for the tournament.
The Jayhawks, who won the tournament in San Antonio last spring, will try to defend their title this weekend.
Docking
"I think that the team we are going to have to look out for the most is UTSA because they
know the course the best," sophomore Tyler Docking said. "We know that we can win down there because we did it last year, and we know that if we play well enough we'll win it again."
Coach Ross Randall also feels
confident about his team going into the event after its performance in Hawaii.
"I'm fairly happy with what went on in our last event," Randall said. "I think we played really well as a team in Hawaii, and we sure look to improve on things."
The University of Texas at San Antonio will host the tournament, which will be played at Oak Hills Country Club.
Docking, senior Kevin Ward and senior Andrew Price have earned excerpt status and did not have to qualify to play in the tournament. Sophomore Gary Woodland, junior Pete Krsnich and junior Luke Trammell round out the remaining
outside to participate.
"Our main goal with preparing for the tournament now is to find out who we will have going, and after that we have to hope for one more week of nice weather," he said.
three Jayhawks who qualified for the tournament. The team played qualifying rounds last week and early this week at Alvamar Country Club. The recent nice weather has been a big factor in allowing the team to get outside to play, Randall said.
There's a good chance that Randall's weather request will come true, as temperatures are expected to be in the low 70s for the opening round.

Coach says mental preparation key
This weekend marks the last time Jeremy Mims will walk into the Big 12 Championships as a Jayhawk. The Iowa City, Iowa senior will lead the Kansas Track and Field Team into Lincoln,Neb.today. For Mims and other seniors, this marks the last opportunity for victory at an indoor conference level.
I am a new member.
"There's a few things that I still want to accomplish. The past years

haven't gone as well as I have liked," Mims said. "But it's also been a great experience."
The middle distance runner ranks third in the Big 12 in the 600-meter run and fifth in the 800-meter run. Although he is
rocusing on the Big 12 Championships this weekend. Mims said that he would keep nationals in the picture as well.
"It's still on my mind, but I'm not going to let that get in the way," Mims said. "My overall goal goes beyond conference."
Mims said that the team received a boost of confidence after former coach Bob Timmons spoke to them on Sunday. Timmons coached the track and field team at KU from 1966 to 1988. He spoke of the importance of the conference championships
"That was always the place to get a p.r. (personal record)," Timmons said. "And if everybody runs that way, then you have a chance to win the conference."
Mims said he considered the speech beneficial.
"It helped us out and made us realize that we have a great history here at KU, and we're definitely headed back in that direction," Mims said.
Above all things, the Jayhawks think that mental preparation plays a large role in the championships coach Stanley Redwine said.

NBA teams swap players. bolster strength
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The acquisition of Chris Webber didn't stop the 76ers from making another deal.
Philadelphia pulled off another trade yesterday as the hours ticked down toward the 4 p.m. NBA deadline, acquiring Rodney Rogers and Jamal Mashburn from New Orleans for Glenn Robinson.
Also, Cleveland acquired guard Jiri Welsch from Boston for a future first-round draft pick, and Houston bolstered its backcourt by acquiring point guard Mike James from Milwaukee, along with center Zendon Hamilton, for Reece Gaines and a pair of
future second-round draft picks.
None of yesterday's deals matched the magnitude of the six-player swap late Wednesday night that sent Webber to Philadelphia for Corliss Williamson, Kenny Thomas and Brian Skinner. The 76ers also received forwards Michael Bradley and Matt Barnes.
Webber was expected to travel to Philadelphia yesterday and would not be with the 76ers for their game in New York against the Knicks.
Webster will likely debut for his new team when the 76ers play his old team, Sacramento, tomorrow night in Philadelphia.
The Sixers are 26-27 and just a
half-game behind Boston for first place in the Atlantic Division. Webber will provide Allen Iverson will get some of the offensive help he has been requesting.
"They're going to probably win the Atlantic now." Cleveland's LeBron James said. "It's going to make them one of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. I know Iverson is very happy about it. I'm going to call him and tell him he got an early Christmas present."
In the 76ers' other deal, the major principles — Mashburn and Robinson — are injured and have not played this season. Rogers can become a free agent at the end of the year, but his 5-
Robinson averaged 16.6 points a game in his first season in Philadelphia last year — down from his career average of 20.8. He lost his starting spot at small forward to rookie first-round pick Andre Iguodala in training camp and has rarely been seen with the team since then.
point shooting fits nicely with coach Jim O'Brien's offensive philosophy.
"A healthy Glenn Robinson would have added to our mix, but he wasn't able to play, so we just focused on what we had and the guys who could play," Sixers president Billy King said.
Rogers was expected to play against the Knicks.
Mashburn is making $9.3 million this year and $10.1 million next year, but seems likely to retire because of his knee injury.
Welsch, who started 32 games for Boston this season, should help the Cavaliers improve their woeful 3-point shooting. After going 1-for-7 on 3-pointers in Wednesday night's win over Chicago, the Cavaliers are ranked 27th out of 50 NBA teams from beyond the 3-point line.
Welsch has made 32 of 99 3- point attempts this season. He's averaging 7.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 20.5 minutes a game.
"Coming down the stretch, you need as much firepower as you
can get." Cavs coach Paul Silas said. "And another shooter should do that for us."
The Rockets-Bucks trade gives Houston another point guard to help make up for the absence of Bob Sura, who is expected to be sidelined at least another week by a back injury.
James, a four-year veteran, appeared in 47 games for Milwaukee and averaged 11.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He signed with the Bucks on Aug. 5 after playing for the NBA champion Detroit Pistons in 2004.
Hamilton averaged 3.2 points and 2.6 rebounds in 16 games this season.

Marchiony said the department informed donors last year that the points system was forthcoming in football. He said he expected less of a reaction from donors to the football point system because they had already had time to get used to the system for basketball.
Gary Smith, Lawrence resident, and his family have been long-time donors to KU athletics. A Williams Fund member, Smith, 66, did not specify how many years he had donated, but said he had racked up quite a few points. He said he liked the fact that the guaranteed seating was rewarding people for their contributions. He also said he liked the idea because it could help bring people to Memorial Stadium.
"I see nothing wrong with it because they have so many more seats to sell," he said. "We need to fill it up."
Smith said he never understood the upset surrounding the points system. It makes sense that people who donate more

> 1 point per account for every football season ticket purchased per year since fall 1984
- Beginning 2004, 5 points per account for every football full-priced reserved season ticket purchased (maximum of 4 tickets will receive 5 points each and 1 point for every ticket thereof).*
2 points per account for every year of donating to the Williams Education Fund since 1978 (minimum of $25 per year)
♦ 1 point for every years of employment with the University of Kansas

But Henrickson said she thought the fatigue would be balanced by optimism from the Jayhawks' relative success against Bavior on Wednesday.
"Even though we didn't come out on the right end as far as the scoreboard goes, there are some things that we will be able to build on and gain some momentum from." Henrickson said.
One area in particular
where the Jayhawks experienced new success was with the execution of a zone defense. Before the Baylor game, Kansas had used zone sparingly. Against the Bears, the zone temporarily shut down their inside game and allowed the Jayhawks to recover from an 18-point deficit.
"We have done a good job mixing up our defenses and executing well," Henrickson said. "With what we have staring us in the face with Kansas State
and Iowa State, we are going to have to be able to mix up our defenses."
Going to zone against Kansas State could prove fatal with Wildcat sharpshooters Laurie Koehn and Kendra Wecker, who both shoot near 40 percent from the three-point line.
But facing tough odds is old habit for Kansas, which has been an underdog in this conference, and this series, all season long.

The experienced Cowboys have the potential to do the same thing. Led by three seniors, all with double-digit scoring averages, the Cowboys have held opponents to 62 points per game while producing almost 80.
"They are men," Self said. "They are playing with 25-year-old men, 23-year-old men, and we better be men when we play on Sunday."
Oklahoma State has as much age and experience as any team Kansas will face all season, Self said. Lucas is the second youngest player that will be on the court for the Cowboys on Sunday and he is a fifth-year senior.
KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTES:
Self said he hoped junior forward Christian Moody would be able to play Sunday. The team is not talking to the media before Sunday, but at his weekly press conference Wednesday Self said Moody would do an individual workout today and go full-speed tomorrow.
Freshman guard JamesOn Curry is averaging eight points a game, but has been on fire lately.
♦ Senior guard Keith Langford hyper-extended his elbow during the Jayhawks' Feb. 12 match-up against Colorado. Self said Langford was not 100 percent, but that his condition was improving.
"It is going to take some time for it to get healthy." Self said. "That has contributed to some of our shooting problems too, his health. He injured that worse than people thought against Colorado."
Self said the injury should
take three to six weeks to heal.
♦ When asked if he thought the Jayhawks were still in contention to receive a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament, Self said he didn't think it was likely, but not impossible.
"That is a best case scenario." Self said. "If he can go full speed on Friday and Saturday, I would think we could play him as much as he can."
"We'd have to play great the rest of the way for it to be a possibility and maybe get a little bit of help," he said. "Two weeks ago I was saying 'hey we're in pretty good shape.'"
But after three straight conference losses, Self he has spent more time focusing on his team's recent troubles and not as much time on its seed.
No. 8 Kansas and No. 4 Oklahoma State suffered upsets on the road in their last games. Kansas fell to No. 22 Oklahoma, and the Oklahoma State was defeated at Nebraska. Kansas and Oklahoma State will tip off at 3 p.m. Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Similarly, last season Kansas rode a spotty 21-8 regular season record into the NCAA Tournament with skeptics claiming the Jayhawks would be a one-and-done team, dropping out of the tourney by the second round. Instead, Kansas won three tournament games by an average margin of 22 points
When Kansas was routed earlier this season at Villanova, the team responded by winning six straight games, all but one of those by double digits. In the midst of that streak, the Jayhawks saved their best effort for the game with the most exposure, dropping 90 points on then-No. 13 Texas in a 25-point blowout

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Self's mentor seeks first Fieldhouse victory
BY KELLIE ROBINETT
krobinett@hansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
With all the achievements Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton has racked up during his time in Stillwater, Okla., it's hard to believe he has never won in Allen Fieldhouse.
Though Sutton mentored Bill Self early in his career, the Kansas coach doesn't want to let his old teacher get his first victory at Kansas.
"I have all the respect in the world for Coach Sutton," Self
said. "He has done remarkable things, but certainly we do not want to be the team that allows that to take place."
When the Cowboys (20-4, 10-3 Big 12) take the court at 3 p.m. Sunday, they will have two of the conference's best players.
One is senior guard John Lucas. He has emerged as one of the top point guards in the Big 12 Conference since transferring from Baylor two years ago.
The 5-foot-11 guard from Houston, Texas, pushes the ball
Sutton
up court quickly and spreads the ball around to his teammates well. He averages nearly five assists per game.
He is also a good perimeter shooter
and leads the team in scoring,
with 18 points a contest.
"John is very fast and is a great shooter and has a knack for making big shots in key possessions." Self said.
Senior forward Joey Graham is the other all-conference candidate. He spends most of his time at the low post, but also has the ability to knock down shots and pull defenders to the outside.
He averages 17.8 points and almost seven rebounds a game. He also makes more than half his three-point attempts.
"I think Joey Graham is about as talented as a player as you will find in America." Self said. "When you talk about quickness, speed, ability to slide his
feet, stretch a defense, post up and driving, he is a complete basketball player. I think he is a tough match-up for any team, not just Kansas."
Oklahoma State is hardly a two-man show, though. Senior forward Ivan McFarlin and freshman guard JamesOn Curry also offer difficult match-ups for defenses.
McFarlin averages 12 points and seven and a half rebounds per game. The 6-foot-8, 240-pounder also leads the team in blocks with 28 on the season. The next closest player has
only eight.
Curry has come on lately. He averages eight points a game, and since the start of conference play, he has increased his playing time to more than 31 minutes a game.
Sutton said Curry's emergence had helped the Cowboy offense.
"He takes a lot of pressure off of Joey and John on the perimeter," he said. "He's very good offensively and he's got a chance to be a great player."

NBA
Nuggets trade receive draft pick
DENVER — The Denver Nuggets finally made a move that didn't have to do with their coaching staff yesterday, trading Nikoloz Tskitvili and Rodney White to Golden State for Eduardo Najera, Luis Flores and a first-round draft pick.
The deal was far short of the blockbuster many thought the Nuggats needed to make a serious run at the postseason, although it should give them more depth. Tskitishvill, the fifth overall pick of the 2002 draft, turned out to be little more than a fan favorite and 12th man. White's playing time has diminished as the season progressed.
Young team needs leaders to step up
TENNIS
Najera is a fourth-year veteran who averages 4.2 points and 2.8 rebounds. Karl called him "a hustle guy, a physical guy" who gives the Nuggets a dimension they don't have.
Flores, a rookie secondround draft pick who made a name for himself last season at tiny Manhattan, rarely played for the Warriors, averaging 2.1 points over 15 games.

Eddie Pells/The Associated Press
The Kansas women's tennis team (1-6 overall, 0-1 Big 12) has lost six straight matches, dating back to Jan. 29.
Sophomore Brittany Brown faced a similar situation until last weekend in University Park, Pa.
The Evansville, Ind., native, who began the season 0-6 in singles, snapped the losing streak last Saturday, posting her first win of the season in singles.
"I'm starting to feel more confident." Brown said.
Brown, who missed most of the fall season because of injury, felt obligated to make up for lost time on the courts so she can compete at the collegiate level.
"Watching practice every day was really hard," Brown said. "I knew all the girls were working hard and I feel like I'm trying to work extra hard because I feel like I owe it to them to do really well."

A total of five players, including Brown, tallied victories for the first time this season in Pennsylvania.
"Everybody is starting to feel more confident because everyone on the team has had one good win," Brown said.
Brown
both 4-3. But the youth of the team has been apparent all season, highlighted by three defeats in which Kansas failed to register a single point.
T h e
T h a w
Jayhawes are
coming off two
close losses.
Brown keeps a positive attitude about youth, believing it has advantages, as well as disadvantages.
"I think the advantages of being a young team is that we feel we have nothing to lose." Brown said. "This year is all a learning process. It's hard playing young because a lot of it is inexperience. But we are getting it."
A young team that includes four freshman — Elizaveta Avdeeva, Lauren Hommell, Anna Jackson and Stephanie Smith — continues to mature, even in the intense competition
of the Big 12 Conference.
Brown experienced a tough freshman campaign last fall. A four-time first team all-state selection in high school, Brown had to adjust to the competition at the collegiate level.
"Every match you play in college is a hard match," Brown said. "It was nothing like compared to high school. It was a huge change for me."
Having spent a season under coach Amy Hall-Holt, Brown admitted to becoming a more mature player. She feels more in shape and emotionally stable than she had in a while.
"I feel more physically fit this year." Brown said.
One of the hardest hitters on the team, Brown is a typical baseliner with a powerful forehand, a shot she claims gives her more opportunities to win.
"Playing aggressive," she says. "I'm starting to get to the net more."
Brown is still working on closing out matches, however. In fact, Brown leads the team in tie-breakers played, having lost three out of four. Only juniors Christine Skoda, Luiza
Loureiro and freshman Stephanie Smith, have competed in at least one tie-breaker all year. Kansas is a combined (1-7) in tie-breakers this season.
Three opponents for the Jayhawks this season appear in the nation's Top 25: Texas, BYU and Baylor.
Ultimately, leadership will prove to be vital for a team which lost three of last year's seniors.
Skoda, considered this season's leader, has helped guide the team. Brown said.
"She's actually stepped it up from last year," Brown said. "She's been working on it and I'm trying to help be a leader, too."
Brown credits her positive mental framework as a way she can help the team.
"Her game is getting more competitive." Hall-Holt said. "We look for good things out of her."
The Jayhawks, seeking an end to a six-match losing streak, will face Utah at 2 p.m. on Sunday, in Topeka's Wood Valley Racquet Club.
"I hope to win," Brown said.
"We need to come out with a lot

DNC chief fires up Lawrence Democrats
Howard Dean, head of the Democratic Party, with Quinn Rigney, 5, whose poster reads "Kids Want Peace," on stage after Friday evening's Democratic rally at Liberty Hall in downtown Lawrence. Dean spoke about abortion, education, farmers and separation of church and state. The sold-out rally drew people from across the state and Missouri.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Howard Dean has groupies, and Jeni Weinberg is one of them. She looked the part when Dean spoke at a Kansas Democratic Party rally Friday at Liberty Hall.
Weinberg, Lawrence resident, wore her favorite Democratic party T-shirt, with Dean's autograph on one shoulder and former President Bill Clinton's on the other. In one hand she held her homemade "Dean-O-Crat" sign. In the other she guarded the marker that Dean and Clinton had used to sign her shirt. Dean has touched it twice. It is her lucky pen, said Weinberg, who works in the networking and telecommunication services department at
the University.
"He is absolutely a rock star," Weinberg said. "He can rock a crowd."
Dean was recently named chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He spoke to a sold-out crowd of about 1,000 people Friday at Liberty Hall.
During his half-hour speech, Dean criticized President George Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, his budget, and his policy on social security. Dean said the country needed a stronger national defense system and a more comprehensive renewable energy program.
Dean also said that Kansas Democrats should focus on winning county, city and state elections.
"There is not one county in
this state where there are not Democrats," Dean said. "The way for Democrats to take power back is to stand up for what we believe in."
Brian Thomas, Plano, Texas, senior, said he was encouraged by Dean's speech. Thomas said it was a reminder that a lot of work needed to be done at the local and state level.
Thomas was pulled on stage by a friend just before the rally began. He got to stand with other Democrats behind Dean during the rally.
"It was nice to be on stage and feel that energy coming at you." Thomas said.
But not just Democrats attended the rally. Nathan Loukedes, Lawrence sophomore, said he supported Bush and worked with the Republican party during the
presidential election. He went to the rally with some of his friends who are Democrats because they had made a deal that if he went to hear Dean, they would go with him to hear Ann Coulter in March.
Loukedes said he tried to go to the rally with an open mind.
"I think it's important because you might find out that what the other side is thinking is what you're thinking." Loukedes said.
Although he did not agree with most of Dean's comments, Loukedes said he was impressed with the way Dean presented himself.
"I think he told everybody there what they wanted to hear." Loukedes said. "And I think it was $5 well-spent."

KUnited kicks off campaign
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
With Student Senate elections less than two months away, the KUnited coalition started its campaign with its annual kickoff party last Friday night.
Nick Sterner, Shawnee junior and Marynell Jones, Dallas, Texas junior, are the presidential and vice presidential candidates for the coalition.
Sterner spoke briefly at the kickoff party and told the coalition's supporters there is a lot of work ahead before the April elections.
"It's been a lot of fun tonight," Sterner said. "I am very surprised by the turnout, it is much bigger than we expected."
Sterner said about 150 people attended the party for KUnited.
The kickoff party, which took place at the Mad Hatter, 623 Vermont St., included a live band and a festive atmosphere.
Now, with the party behind them, Sterner and Jones will turn their attention to the issues, before releasing its platform in the next couple of weeks.
The two candidates will also meet with various campus organizations including HALO and the Interfraternity Council in the next two weeks.
Sterner said he wouldn't change his strategy despite the emergence of a third coalition, Student Voice.
Something else that will be new to the election this year is the fact that students can vote from any computer they want, not just computers on campus.
"We won't change the way we campaign," Sterner said. "We will continue to reach out to as many students as possible."
Sister and Jones hope that this will increase voter turnout, as last year approximately only 14

The truest definition of an American is someone who is the beneficiary of European American culture, African-American culture, of women history, of Chicano Music," he said. "It looks at the intersection of all of these cultures other than focusing on one culture then going to the next."
Chico Herbison, instructor for African and African-American Studies said he believed more in a polyculturalism approach to the history month than a multicultural view.
Herbison said that separating cultures into different months could be dangerous. If you begin to separate the historical connection that cultures share it creates what he calls

It takes more than fire to stop rock 'n' roll. Despite a blaze Tuesday that destroyed their home at 820 Ohio St., musical equipment and personal belongings, three of the members of Lawrence metal band the Esoteric — Stevie Cruz, Eric Graves and Marshall Kilpatric — still had to perform.
Cruz, vocalist for the Esoteric, is also known as DJ Cruz. He spins at Neon, the popular '80s dance night on Thursdays at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The fire melted all of Cruz's records and destroyed his turntables, but his iPod somehow survived, and helped him to keep the crowd dancing.
"Neon is pretty request-friendly," Cruz said. "So I put a great deal of it on there and somebody is going to let me borrow their tables."
The next two nights members of the Esoteric played in a side project called Last Caress, which is a Misfits tribute band, at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., and at the Sphere in Wichita.
The Misfits-hungry crowd didn't care about the occasionally botched note as it chanted along to its favorite songs by the legendary '80s horror-punk band.
'it's going to take about $8,000 to
"Sorry, we haven't practiced in a while," Cruz said to a packed crowd at the Replay, "I heard the Esoteric is blowing up!"
punk bands. The band played on equipment borrowed from fellow metal bands Truthclute and Lethe. But replacing all of its equipment and finding a regular practice space is a problem the band has to take care of before it goes on tour in the second week of March.
$10,000 worth of equipment minimum to go on tour," said Dean Edington, the Esoteric's manager and Lawrence resident. Edington estimated the band lost about $20,000 to $25,000 worth of musical and recording equipment.
music and recording sticks, Meinl Pro-Mark drum sticks, Meinl Percussion, and Mesa/Boogie amplifiers have offered to sell the band equipment below list price, Edington said.
"I got an e-mail from a fan offering his guitar," he said.
Along with equipment, original recordings of the Esoteric's upcoming CD, "With the Sureness of Sleepwalking," are gone. But the master CD wasn't in the house when it burned down and will be released April 26.
"I'ts Lawrence, Kan., man. We're lucky to live in such a caring community."
Stevie Cruz Vocalist for the Esoteric
Edington is impressed with how the band is handling the situation.
The band salvaged a couple hard drives full of music from the fire and is going to see if there is any salvageable music on them.
"You can replace equipment but can't replace recordings." Cruz said.
"For three guys who just lost everything, they're really focused and calm." Edington said.
After the fire the Red Cross gave Cruz, Graves and Kilpatric vouchers for Hy-vee, Target and hotel rooms.
Edington set up a cash and material goods fund at the Love Garden Sounds/Arts Multiplex, 936 1/2 Massachusetts St. People can also make Paypal donations at the band's Web site. www.the-esoteric.com
There are two benefit shows for the Esoteric scheduled March 29 and 30 at the Granada, said Terry Taylor, talent buyer for Hunt Industries, a music booking agency. So far the bands Approach, Mac Lethal and Conner are expected to play, Taylor said.
"It's Lawrence, Kan., man," Cruz said. "We're lucky to live in such a caring community."
Right now, the trio is staying with Corey White, a guitarist for the Esoteric. The band won't begin to search for a new home until after it comes back from touring in May.

The KU Public Safety Office found a letter in a vacant house Thursday morning from the Douglas County Mental Health Department stating that a person was a Hepatitis A and B risk.
A copy of a Florida birth certificate, a social security card and an Indiana identification card, all belonging to 32-year-old Gerald R. Stokes, were also found inside the house, according to a KU Public Safety Office report.
from the Douglas County Mental Health Department was Stokes.
Stokes is not listed as a KU student, faculty or staff member and is not listed as a Lawrence resident, either, but the house, which is in the 1200 block of Louisiana Street, is owned by the KU Endowment Association.
Bailey also could not confirm in Stokes was the individual who had entered the house initially.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office, could not speculate if the individual named in the letter
"No one was inside the house when we arrived," Bailey said. "So we don't know who it was."
After an investigation, it did appear that someone was staying in the house without authorization, but Bailey was not sure how long the individual had been there.
At 8:14 a.m. on Thursday, KU Public Safety Officers were called to the house. They found a piece of plywood that had been pulled off the house and it appeared that the door had been forced open.
The officers entered the residence and found the letter, birth certificate, social security card and ID card next to a couch in the basement in plain view, according to the report.
Once the house was secured, the
officers left, according to the report.
Bailey said the KU Public Safety Office wouldn't investigate the situation any further.
Stokes had not been located and the KU Public Safety Office wasn't actively looking for him, Bailey said.
"We're not looking for anyone," Bailey said. "We're just trying to keep them out of the house."
The Endowment Association purchased the house for the University about the same time as a number of other properties, including the lot where Rieger Scholarship Hall was being built, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association.
Scarffe also said that he was not aware of this type of incident occurring before in buildings that the Endowment Association had purchased or owned.

Friday's University Daily Kansan contained errors. The article, "One-on-one fitness," stated a personal trainer helped a 350-pound diabetic drop 285 pounds. The article should have said that the personal trainer helped the diabetic drop to 285 pounds. Also, the article identified Richard Johnson as the dean of liberal arts and sciences. Johnson is the dean of students.

Past KU student's trial postponed
The trial of David Ryan Jay, a KU student from Summer 1998 until Spring 2001, was scheduled to begin this morning. It was postponed until May 16 so that the State can conduct a psychological assessment, Richard Guinn, assistant director attorney for Johnson County, said.
Jay is suspected of starting 17 fires, including a fire in Watson Library in March 2004.
The defenses' assessment of Jay found that he had mental issues beyond initial assessments at his arrest, Guinn said.
Jay pleaded not guilty to 13 counts of arson and one count of aggravated arson on July 7, 2004.
The fires caused almost $8 million in damages.

ACADEMY AWARDS
'Million dollar Oscar night
BY DAVID GERMAIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The boxing saga "Million Dollar Baby" was the Academy Awards heavyweight yesterday, claiming best picture and three other trophies, including honors for director Clint Eastwood, lead-actress Hilary Swank and supporting-actor Morgan Freeman.
Martin Scorseese's "The Aviator" came away with the most Oscars, its five awards including the supporting-actress prize for Cate Blanchett.
Eastwood, who at 74 became the oldest directing winner ever, noted his mother was with him when his Western "Unforgiven" won the 1992 best-picture and directing Oscar.
The 77th Oscars were another heartbreak for Scorsese, the man behind "The Aviator," who lost the directing race for the fifth time. Scorsese matched the record of Oscar futility held by a handful of legendary filmmakers such as Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Altman, who also went 0-for-5 in the directing category.
"She's here with me again tonight, so at 96, I'm thanking her for her genes," Eastwood said. "I figure I'm just a kid. I've got a lot of stuff to do yet."
Swank became a double Academy Award winner yesterday for "Million Dollar Baby," while Jamie Foxx took lead actor for "Ray." The wins for Freeman and Foxx made it only the second time blacks won two of the four acting prizes.
Swank, who previously won the best-actress Oscar for "Boys Don't Cry." once again beat out main rival Annette Bening, nominated for the theater farce "Being Julia." Bening had been the front-runner for "American Beauty" five years ago but lost to underdog Swank.
"I don't know what I did in this life to deserve all this. I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream," said Swank, who played an indomitable boxer.
Swank joined Vivien Leigh, Helen Hayes, Sally Field and Luise Rainer as the only actresses with a perfect track record at
the Oscars; Two nominations and two wins.
Foxx won for his uncanny emulation of Ray Charles in "Ray." As he had at earlier awards triumphs, Foxx led the Oscar audience in a rendition of the call-and-response chant from Charles' 1959 hit 'What'd I Say," whose funky electric-piano grooves play over the opening credits of "Ray."
"Give it up for Ray Charles and his beautiful legacy. And thank you Ray Charles for living," said Foxx, who climbed to Oscar glory after an early career built mainly on comedy, including his TV series "The Jamie Foxx Show" and the raunchy sex flick "Booty Call."
Foxx had been a double Oscar nominee, also picked in the supporting category for the hit man thriller "Collateral."
Playing Katharine Hepburn in "The Aviator," Blanchett had the spirit of the Oscars' most-honored actress on her side. Hepburn, the love of Hughes' life in the 1930s before she began her long romance with Spencer Tracy, earned 12 nominations and won a record four Oscars.
"Thank you, of course, to Miss Hephburn. The longevity of her career I think is inspiring to everyone," said Blanchett. She added thanks to "Aviator" director Scorsese, saying, "I hope my son will marry your daughter."
Oscar host Chris Rock said Blanchett was so convincing that Sidney Poitier, Hepburn's co-star in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," showed up at Blanchett's house for supper.
The wins by Freeman and Foxx followed Denzel Washington and Halle Berry's triumph three years ago for "Training Day" and "Monster's Ball," the only other time blacks claimed two acting Oscars.
"It means that Hollywood is continuing to make history," Freeman said backstage. "We're evolving with the rest of the world."
The superhero action comedy "The Incredibles" won the animated-feature prize, beating 2004's biggest box-office hit, the fairy-tale sequel "Shrek 2."

Kansan talking about what she thinks are the biggest problems with Black History Month. In the editorial she listed three problems: There is only a core group of famous African-American that get focused on, people cannot get a real feeling for African-American history in 10-second history lessons on TV and February is the shortest month of the year.
Mitchell Van Doren, Kingston, Jamaica, junior, is also in Herbison's class. She was surprised to hear that some of her classmates didn't like Black History Month. She said that she feels differently.
"I never thought that people would actually hate it. I could see white people not liking it, but not black people," she said. "I love it and I don't know that much about African-American culture."
Melva Landrum, Minneapolis, Minn., senior, said that Black History Month was a good way to bring awareness to African Americans. She said that you can never learn enough about people different from yourself.

Black History Month was first created by Carter Woodson in 1926. It was known then as "Negro History Week." February is a month with important milestones in African-American history such as the ratification of the 15th Amendment, which allowed black men to vote. It is also the month the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded and when Malcolm X was killed.

Add avian influenza to list of things to worry about
CONDITIONS EXIST
PAGE 5A
I have a modest list of worries that includes, among other things, finding a job after graduation and the fact that girls don't seem to like me.
P
Avian flu mainly affects
WHEATON ELKINS
welkins@kansan.com
Last week, I added one more item to my list: avian influenza.
poultry — the virus has killed millions of chickens in Asia and other parts of the world over many decades.
According to the World Health Organization, the United States experienced an avian influenza outbreak in the mid-1980s, which "resulted in the destruction of more than 17 million birds."
Michael Specter recently wrote an article for The New Yorker covering this disease, and he details how a particular strain of avian influenza has shifted from infecting birds to infecting and killing other animals, including humans.
The World Health Organization thinks avian flu has potential to cause the next pandemic, which is an extensive and overwhelming outbreak of a disease.
The World Health Organization believes that a deadlier, more contagious strain of avian influenza might transform our Earth into a fetid hellscape where birds threaten the very existence of mankind.
In this way, the World Health Organization is a lot like Alfred Hitchcock.
So how does a person catch the flu from a duck in the first place? Well, have you ever seen a duck cough? They don't cover their mouth.
Catching this avian fluer terrifies me. Understand, I am a weak link in the evolutionary chain, a poor swimmer foundering in the shallow end of the gene pool.
If we were living in caveman times, I wouldn't last.
Nature has dealt me a fragile, temperamental body. I have no body fat, which means I freeze any time the temperature dips below 80, and an underdeveloped bladder forces me to the bathroom every 10 minutes. Also, I look terrible in leopard print.
Imagine the males of the tribe leaving the cave
to go hunting. They tell me to stay with the women and sew hides together. "But sewing hurts my fingers," I said.
"Hey Darrel," one saber-tooth tiger says to his pal. "See that skinny kid who looks
On the other hand, if I go on the hunt I'll surely be eaten.
"You mean the one that's shivering?
"Yeah. Let's eat him the next time he goes in the bushes to pee.
So I worry I might not survive a flu pandemic.
Fortunately, modern man has two tools that might combat such an outbreak: vaccines and anti-viral drugs.
But, as Specter points out, there is enough of neither. He writes that the entire world is capable of producing only 100 million flu vaccines per year. Fewer doses of suitable anti-viral drugs exist.
Fortunately, America has reelected two men with experience when it comes to birds and biological threats.
Dick Cheney is to feathered friends what Britney Spears is to music — a shameless and wanton destrover.
About a year ago, Vice-President Cheney and a couple buddies went to a hunting club in Pennsylvania. A Pittsburgh television station reported that Cheney and his friends killed more than 400 farm-raised pheasant in just a matter of hours.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lawrence and University provides opportunities to learn about cultures
On Feb 15th the Kansan published an editorial: "Broaden world perspective, begin with Brazil tutorial" from Julia Melim Coelho.
I believe the article runs into hasty generalizations and lacks on enthusiasm about how to take positive actions about our worldview right here.Lawrence and especially KU has countless opportunities to learn about different cultures and meet people from all around the world.
In my case, for the first time I have been able to fast during Ramadan week, celebrate Chinese New Year, dance Latin music every week and assist to different conversation tables. Indeed, if you would like to taste Brazilian food or discuss with Julia her article, you just need to participate on the Brazilian Week next March.
I cannot tell how many times I have been asked where Uruguay is located. I even designed a system to explain it using my hands. To be honest, I do not care because we all need to be educated and is the attitude what counts. So, if you recognize me on campus, please ask me something about my country and tell me something about yours.

Democracy on destructive world tour led by United States
As the United States continues to build and rebuild the new Iraq with help from the rest of the world, here's a fun fact about another little country where we just got done waging a war.
Afghanistan ranks 173 out of 178 countries on the United Nations 2004 Human Development Index according to a new UN report. That puts Afghanistan at the bottom of the world trash barrel of human conditions.
100
As we have seen in both Afghanistan and Iraq, fighting the war is the easy part of "building" a democracy. After it the real work starts. But this report shows that we are not committed to focusing on the hard work. President Bush announces the overthrows and elections, but what good are they when basic living conditions are some of the worst in the world?
But worse, how should Iraqi feel about this? Where will our priorities be if we invade Iran? And then North Korea? Will President Bush leave us with a demented domino chain of democracy?
The United States has helped nations build democratic governments before. We helped both war-ravaged Germany and Japan emerge from tyranny to republican governments after World War II. But as Afghanistan and Iraq

show, President Bush is not taking this task as seriously as the United States has done before.
First of all the United States didn't go marching into Germany and Japan guns blazing, the harbinger of democracy. We weren't the aggressors of conflict like we find ourselves today. After fighting a global war the United States, with help, took it upon itself to rebuild and encourage democracy on the nations that attacked it.
Second, we were serious about building a democracy. Building a new government takes both time and money. We occupied both for several years, helping create better conditions than either Iraq or Afghanistan had. We pumped in aid with the Marshall Plan. We brought order, which led to peace and stability, before giving sovereigntv.
Afghanistan and Iraq have neither advantage. Both require large security forces to maintain peace, yet both have already had elections. Afghanistan is lacking in every measure of a nations

development, as shown by its abysmal Human Development Index rating.
Ripe for democracy? I don't think so.
Yet President Bush has already moved on — shifting attention and capital to Iraq. The United States is currently spending $4.3 billion dollars a month in Iraq fighting that war. The war in Iraq takes money, soldiers and media attention away from the problems of Afghanistan.
"The report has painted a gloomy picture of the status of human development in the country after two decades of war and destruction." Afghan president Hamid Karzai said in a foreword of the report.
It's true that the United States isn't the sole reason for Afghanistan's plight; our war's only the latest in a long series of conflicts there.
But if the United States and President Bush don't fully and patiently support human conditions and rebuilding after invading a country, democracy cannot survive. And our policy of bringing democracy to the world becomes a sham.

Local director helms yeti-hunting film
BY NEIL MULKA
nmulka@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Take one Easter bunny costume, add a monkey mask and gloves and attach a furry white rug from Target. You create a yeti, better known as the abominable snowman.
This mythical creature is the focal point of "Yeti! A Tale of the Brothers Krong," a film written and directed by local film maker W. David Keith.
But this yeti has one peculiarity.
"The yeti has an Easter Bunny tail," Keith said. "I wanted a polar bear costume and there wasn't a costume rental place that had one."
"Yetil," which Keith describes as "Ernest" meets "Indiana Jones," is about characters Caspian and Brian Krong, brothers and paranormal investigators, who wield the magical, plastic Blades of Caton.
That's only a minor detail in a film that cost less than $100 to make.
When they discover that a colleague is missing, possibly captured by the yeti, the brothers try to rescue him and hunt for the yeti in Himalayan mountains. Along the way, the duo meets space witches, a monk and a monkey guide.
WHEN & WHERE
"It has your classic story. Two brothers hunting down the yeti and accidentally finding their true identities from a monk in the Himalayas," Aaron Weatherford, who plays Brian Krong, said.
The film also has a strong family message, said Brian Weatherford, who plays Caspian Krong.
"The moral of the story is that brothers should always stick together," Weatherford said. "Bros before hos."
To emulate the Himalayas "Yeti" was filmed at the Overland Park Arboretum, 8909 W 179th St., last February. Other shots were done at the
"Yet! A Tale of the Brothers Krong"
♦ TIME: Meet and greet with the actors and the crew for autographs begins at 6:30 p.m. The film starts at 7 tonight.
PLACE: Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.

All of the movie's dialogue was improvised. Keith set up the scenes, and the actors made up the lines.
"We had the freedom to say whatever we wanted," said Stephanie Suetos, a 1998 graduate who olaved a space witch.
"Yeti!" is just one film created by Keith, a former KU film student, and the Weatherford brothers. Together they are Lickey Split Films, a production company that has made films such as "A Burt Reynolds Christmas," "Earth Lords" and "Robbie the Dancing Vampire."
The
Kenth receives e-mails from people in San Francisco and Brooklyn, N.Y., commenting on "Earth Lords."
"It pleases me to know people are watching my crappy little films," Keith said.
Members of Student Union Activities made copies of "Earth Lords" and distributed it.
Lickety Split's biggest challenge is finding time to make movies between school, work and church. The group usually films during weekends at the spur of the moment.
"Some people people like to go fishing on the weekend," Keith said. "Some people like to go drinking. We like to run around in monkey suits and film it."

BTK suspect to go to court this week
WICHITA — A man suspected in a string of 10 slayings that terrorized Wichita residents for more than three decades was being held yesterday on $10 million bond and could appear in court as early as today, prosecutors said.
At that appearance, Dennis L. Rader, 59, would stand in front of a judge on video while prosecutors recite yet-to-be filed criminal charges against him.
Police were confident Rader's arrest last week would bring to an end 30 years of fear about the BTK strangler. But as they pored over news of a suspect's capture, many residents here were left with an unsettling feeling — that he had been hidden among them all along.
At his church and around town, many expressed shock that Rader was accused of being the man responsible for at least 10 killings attributed to BTK — a self-coined nickname that stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill."

Simien blazes the trail for Kansas victory
KANSAS 23
For a guy who doesn't show much emotion on the court, Wayne Simien was certainly fired up vesterday.
Even before the tip-off, Big Dub had his hands in the air, waving to the 16,300 fans in Allen Fieldhouse. After Kansas' 81-79 victory against Oklahoma State, he was fist pumping like Tiger Woods.
Not to mention what happened during the game. The senior forward put the Jayhawks on his back, scoring a career-high 32 points and adding 12 rebounds.
After the game, he was all smiles. He knew his team had gotten an important victory.
"I'm not one to show much emotion, but this was just extra special today," Simien said. "This was one of our last home games, two of the top teams in the country were going at it fighting for a championship, emotions were hot and the crowd was into it."
The Jayhawks clearly knew they had to do one thing to win.
"Just feed the beast and good things will happen," senior guard Aaron Miles said.
For the first time in four games, good things did happen
Self said he'd never been a part of a game where two teams competed harder, where the atmosphere was better or as well officiated.
It was tough week for the Kansas basketball team. After losing to Oklahoma last Monday, the Jayhawks did some soul searching. They put in work on the practice floor and shut themselves off from the outside world.
for the Jayhawks. Their coach got a victory against his mentor and his alma mater. The Jayhawks, 21-4 and 11-3 in the Big 12, regained sole possession of the conference lead. And perhaps more importantly, Kansas won a close game against a good opponent, and played like one of the tops teams in the country.
No media. No cell phones. No distractions. The Jayhawks just wanted to focus on playing Oklahma State. They didn't talk to the media all week. Saturday night, they turned their cell phones over to the coaches. It didn't matter that they had family and friends in town. This team was determined to be focused.
Senior forward Wayne Simien holds up a fech encouraging his teammates on the floor. Simien scored a career-high 32 points and grabbed 12 rebounds during the B11-79 victory against the Oklahoma State Cowboys yesterday in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I think we did a good job of eliminating those outside distractions." Miles said.
The return of junior forward Christian Moody to the line-up was another instrumental element of the Jayhawks' success yesterday. Simien shot the ball 17 times, three less than he had in the previous two games combined.

Thanks for everything, Wavne
Thank you Wayne Simien.
Your play yesterday was the main reason that your Jayhawks were able to end the streak of losses it had. It was clear that you were not going to let this game against Oklahoma State end in a loss.
When Oklahoma State went on runs that tested the resiliency of your team, you stepped up. There was no jumper that you could not hit. You wanted the ball, and you were a true leader on the court.
This game certainly helped your case to be the Big 12 Conference's Player of the Year. You have been the Jayhawks' most consistent player all season, and yesterday was no exception. You showed the nation how good of a player you are. You were the team's savior, scoring 11 points in the game's final 10 minutes.
You have shown why you should be considered the premier player in the Big 12, and you've done it the right way. You do not complain, you are selfless, and you are not a flashy player. You simply perform at an unbelievable level in each game. You do what is best for the team, good things naturally happen when you have the ball. You are a class act, Wayne Simien. You are always looking at the positives, rather than dwelling on the negatives.
In your 21 games this season, you have never failed to score more than 10 points, and you have done it with unbelievable accuracy. Your field goal percentage has been better than 54 percent this season.
Your consecutive free-throw streak may have ended yesterday when you hit 10 of 11, but not before you made 34straight, a Kansas all-time record. You were nearly as good from the field, making 11-of-16, helping the Jayhawks shoot nearly 70 percent as a team.
It's clear that if the Jayhawks get you the ball, the team will win. And that's all that you care about, not how many rebounds or points you had.

Jayhawks can't keep up with Wildcats on Senior Night

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
MANHATTAN — Kansas State forward Kendra Wecker's jersey was retired to the rafters of Bramlage Coliseum Saturday for Senior Night, a fact Kansas players should be happy about.
The Wildcats, 20-6 (11-4 Big 12), took the lead on their first possession and never fell behind, leading 38-18 at the break.
For four straight years, Wecker's Wildcat senior class has exerted total dominance over the Javhawks, and Saturday was no different.
Strong starts by seniors Kendra Wecker and Laurie Koehn, in their final game at Bramlage Coliseum, carried Kansas State to the early lead. Wecker finished with 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Koehn added 19 on 5-of-10
A 73-46 victory against Kansas marked the eighth consecutive victory for Kansas State in the Sunflower Showdown and gave the Wildcat seniors their fourth straight series sween.
"These kids have had great careers," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Both those kids did a nice job for Kansas State.
Seizing on the emotion of Senior Night and the home crowd of 11,254, Kansas State's senior class jumped on top of Kansas early.
Wecker connected on her first five shots, Koehn hit open shots and the Wildcats ran wild in transition. With 6 minutes left in the first half, the Jayhawks were staring down the barrel of a 33-9 deficit.
The Jayhawks scored five points in the opening minutes and only seven of 26 attempts fell for the Jayhawks in the first period.
Kansas shot slightly better after halftime and closed out the contest with 30 percent shooting.
Burras led Kansas with 11 points — the lone lavhawk in double figures.

"We had people set personal records, and I definitely see them as maximizing their potential." he said.

After recovering from nagging foot and ankle injuries, the senior transfer became the record holder with a pole vault of 13 feet, 11.25 inches.

Wildcats have NIT hopes
BOULDER, Colo. — An NCAA berth for the first time since 1996 is still out of the question unless Kansas State can pull off some upsets in the Big 12 Tournament.
C
But after Saturday's
But after Saturdays' 82-80 victory against Colorado, the Wildcats can still hope for an NIT bid
— which would be their first postseason appearance since 1999 and their first in- lime.
Wooldridge's five years as coach.
And that, forward Jeremiah Massey said, is Kansas State's prime concern.
Kansas State's prime series:
"We're a struggling team right now, just trying to get back on track," said Massey, who led the Wildcats (15-10, 5-9 Big 12) with 28 points and 19 rebounds.
For a moment, it appeared as though Colorado (13-13, 4-10) might derail the Wildcats' chances of gaining some needed momentum.
But the Buffalos, who lost their fourth straight conference game, fell one basket short of overtime when Marcus Hall's driving layup rolled off the rim.
JOHN L. HUNTER
Massey was happy that Hall took the shot instead of freshman Richard Roby, who hit seven three-pointers and scored 30 points for the first time in his career.
"Roby was wide open on the wing for a three," said Massey, who outcrawled the freshman to the ball and covered it with his hands as time expired. "And I'm pretty sure he would have hit it."
Woolridge

Massev
The Buffaloes, though, wanted Hall to take the shot all the way
"We got what we wanted," coach Ricardo Patton said. "If we were down by three, we wanted him to drive and dish. Or if we were down by two, we wanted him to take it to the hole."
Sophomore Lance Harris added a career-high 20 points for the Wildcats, whose 15 wins are one more than last season's total, and Fred Peete had 10 points.
The Wildcats next visit the Jayhawks — a team that owns a 29-game winning streak against them — before closing out their regular season at home against Nebraska.
"If we win some more, every step you take in that direction is a step in the right direction," Wooldridge said.

Humble Moody returns, shines

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Rvlan Howe/KANSAN
Christian Moody, junior forward, tries to block Joey Graham, Oklahoma State senior forward. Moody contributed 11 points during 34 minutes of playing time yesterday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Christian Moody proved just how valuable he is to the Kansas men's basketball team yesterday.
After missing the last two games because of an infected knee, the junior forward returned to the starting line-up and played a pivotal role in the Jayhawks' two-point victory against Oklahoma State.
The crowd showered him with a loud "MOOOOOY" chant after he threw down a one-handed dunk 5 minutes into the game.
"It was pretty loud." Moody said. "I saw plenty of Moody shirts up there. I had some friends and family fly in town, and I'm just so happy it was a fun game for everybody."
Moody's fan club included his aunt, uncle, two best friends, girlfriend and CBS commentator Billy Packer, who called Moody the greatest walk-on of all time earlier this season.
None of them left disappointed
Moody saw 34 minutes of action, made five shots in six attempts, and tied his career high of 11 points.
"I think I would have played with any pain," Moody said. "I just really wanted to get back out there."
During the past week, media and fans have speculated that Moody's absence was the reason Kansas lost games to Iowa State and Oklahoma.
Though Moody said he received words of encouragement from across Lawrence, he thought his presence on the court was not the deciding factor in snapping Kansas' three-game losing streak.
"No way," Moody said. "I'm really grateful for the support and prayers, but I don't want to give myself credit for being the difference. Look at how everyone else played. Wayne had a career high, and the other guys just stepped up. I'm so glad to be a part of it."
On top of his 11 points, Moody brought several intangibles to the floor that didn't show up on the stat sheet.
The driving layup that senior guard Aaron Miles hit to give the Jayhawks a two-point lead late in the
game began when Moody set a screen, which gave Miles an open lane to attack the basket.
Just minutes earlier, Miles threw a poor pass over Moody's head, but he managed to save the ball and set up the half-court offense.
"Moody is always in the right spot," senior guard Mike Lee said. "He knows how to make plays, but he's just solid. He makes rebounds and keeps plays alive. We needed him tremendously tonight."
Moody was also instrumental in getting the ball to senior forward Wayne Slimen, who scored a career-high 32 points. The Big 12 Player of the Year candidate had 17 shots from the field and went to the free-throw line 11 times.
In the Jayhawks' last two games, Simien saw only a few good looks at the basket and disappeared, at times, from the Kansas offense.
"You saw that Christian Moody is pretty valuable," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Look how many touches Wayne got today compared to past games. We just look like a totally different team with him out there."
Moody again deferred credit to his teammates, saying that he didn't remember throwing the ball to Simien as much as Lee and Miles did.
Despite Moody's humble attitude, Simien was more than willing to compliment his performance.
"When the double teams came he did a lot of good things to help the offense." Simien said. "Moody did a great job scrapping and defending."
On defense, Moody drew the most difficult task of any Jayhawk. Self chose him to guard Oklahoma State senior forward Joey Graham.
Graham scored 19 points, but Moody held him to just four rebounds and forced him to commit two turnovers. For Self to pick Moody as the most capable big man to defend Oklahoma State's standout forward shows just how much Moody means to the lashawks. Self said.

K-State's Senior Night drowns Kansas
MANHATTAN — Fighting early deficits is like struggling to get free from quicksand. If you get down far and fast enough, it's nearly impossible to get out.
The Kansas women's basketball team learned that the hard way Saturday night, as they fell to Kansas State, 73-46. The Wildcats buried the Jayhawks in the sand early, with the help of seniors Kendra Wecker and Laurie Koehn. Wecker hit her first two three-point shots in the first 5 minutes, contributing to Kansas State's 14-3 run to open the game. Koehn drained three long-range shots to send the Jayhawks into the locker room with a 38-18 deficit.
"They came out firing and they stayed hot the whole night," Kansas junior guard Erica Hallman said.
State's 38 points. On a Senior Night for the Wildcats, Koehn and Wecker's performances painted a familiar picture for the Jayhawks. Kansas' seniors, guard Aquanita Burras and guard/forward Blair Waltz, have never defeated the Wildcats.
The Jayhawk seniors couldn't keep up. At halftime, Wecker and Koehn accounted for 27 of Kansas
"I think that those kids (Wecker and Koehn) had great careers here and they're not going to finish any differently as seniors in their last game here," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Saturday's game in Manhattan wasn't named Kendra Wecker night for no reason.
The Wildcats were able to feed the ball to Wecker and when the Jayhawks closed out on the All-American, Koehn connected from long range.
The layhawks had difficulty finding a defender for Wecker. Freshman forward Taylor McIntosh began guarding Wecker, but couldn't contend her long ball. When Burras guarded Wecker, she was forced to
"I wouldn't be so frustrated if I didn't think we were better," said Henrickson. "If I just thought they were that much better than we were, I would swallow my pride. I'm not taking anything away from K-State; I just think they're better than that."
foul in order to keep up physically.
Hallman was up in arms as well.
"We didn't coming out fight for pride. We're embarrassing; an embarrassment to this university," said Hallman. "We didn't play with heart at all."
In such a high stakes, bragging rights game for both teams, the seniors made the difference. And for the Jayhawks, the Wildcats provided the quicksand.
Wecker finished with 21 points,
fulfilling her average on the year,
and Koehn finished with 19 points,
and 50 percent from beyond the arc.
Burras was held to 11 points, the
only Jaayhawk to hit double figures.
Waltz pitched in for two points.

Victory restores fans' confidence

JOKE GOALS
KU fans mug for the CBS television camera during the second half of the men's basketball game yesterday. They had plenty to cheer about as the Jayhawks broke their losing streak with an 81-79 victory against Oklahoma State.
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
The men's basketball team finally gave the loyal Jayhawk fans something to cheer about and the student section was appreciative.
"Given the circumstances with the Big 12 on the line and the seniors second-to-last home game, it may have been the greatest game I have ever witnessed in the fieldhouse and I've been going to Kansas games as long as I can remember," Micah Swade, Louisburg sophomore, said.
The Jayhawks got a much-needed victory heading into March.
After three consecutive losses, the victory put some life back into the lavwhawk faithful.
"I was getting hesitant with three consecutive losses, but the win over Oklahoma State boosted my confidence in the 'Hawks quest for the national championship," Josh Van Zandt, Shawnee sophomore, said.
Oklahoma State was held to
The players urged the crowd to be louder during each time-out late in the game.
"I think the crowd was huge for us," senior guard Keith
just one point in the final three and a half minutes. The crowd knew how much the Jayhawks needed a victory after a three-game skid and came out rowdy
Langford said. "There isn't a better place to end a losing streak."
The Cowboys were up by one with 94 seconds left and the crowd rose to its feet and carried the Jayhawks to victory. The victory gave the Cowboys a second consecutive Big 12 Conference loss. Nebraska upset Oklahoma State Tuesday.
"I feel this win may send the two teams in different directions. KU has the confidence heading into March and Oklahoma State is going into March with two straight losses." Van Zandt said.
The Jayhawks will control their destiny in the Big 12 with upcoming games against Kansas State and Missouri.
"This win will help KU's NCAA seeding and confidence heading into March. It was a much-needed win," Swade said.

"He just made himself Big 12 player of the year," senior guard Keith Langford said. "We just rode his back."

Simien scored 14 first-half points as the Jayhawks shot 68 percent from the field in the first half. The thing is, the Cowboys were just as good. They had just two turnovers in the first half and went 5-10 from behind the arc.
The 39-39 halftime score left for a leave-it-all-out-on-the-court second half. Self said he didn't want to play anyone more than 16 minutes in the first half because he anticipated an intense second half. Other than Miles, who played 17 first-half minutes, none of the Jayhawks went over 16. The Jayhawks opened the second half with an 8-0 run that put them up by as many eight with about 12 minutes to play.
But the Cowboys went on a run of their own, rattling off 10 straight. Before Kansas knew it,
they were down by seven points with 6 minutes left.
The Jayhawks appeared in be in trouble. So what happened in the games' final minutes?
"Wayne," Langford said. "He got after it, made some big plays and got a couple of big stops."
Kansas finished the game on a 12-3 scoring run ignited by a Miles three point shot with 4:30 left. That gave the Jayhawks momentum and they tied the score at 78 with 1:30 to go.
"Christian did a good job of screening my man," Miles said. "They had to respect Keith out on the wing so they didn't help too much and I just found the opening."
Miles gave the Jayhawks their final lead with 30 seconds left in the game. Guarded by Oklahoma State guard JamesOnCurry, Milews blew past the freshman, drove to the basket and layed the ball up over senior forward Ivan McFarlin.
Holding onto a 80-79 lead, Miles went to the line. He missed the first but sunk the
second to give the Jayhawks a two point lead. The Cowboys had the ball with 19 seconds left. Senior guard Daniel Bobik inbounded the ball to senior guard John Lucas. It appeared that Oklahoma State wanted to get the ball to senior forward Joey Graham, but the Jayhawks' defense didn't allow them to set up.
"We told our guys to switch on all ball screens," Self said. "Joey set a ball screen and it looked like they wanted to get it to him to shoot a three."
Lucas was forced to take a quick three at the buzzer that would have won the game, but it was short, hitting the front of the rim. Simien fist-pumped. Self high-fived his players, then he hugged his mentor.
Langford said it was just good to smile again.
"I'm happy," Langford said. "I'm happy for coach Self and his family, I am just excited that we got the win."

You showed why you are the team's best jump shooter. It's amazing that a 6-foot-9-inch player who is so physical is able to make guarded 15-foot jump shots with ease. Your shooting ability will help you make a lot of money at the next level, in the NBA. Your range helps more than just your individual statistics. You are able to draw post defenders at the top of the key, allowing Christian Moody or other post players to get open underneath.
If there is a W next to your name, you are happy. It's fitting that your nickname is "Big Dub," as fans flash a W as you shoot free throws. You are a winner.
Your career-high 32 points yesterday was part of your best game in your four years in the Jayhawk program. You took control of the game early, scoring buckets on turn-around jumpers and tough layups. You
scored six of the team's first eight points of the game, helping it get off to the start it needed.
It was clear that neither team wanted to lose, but you showed that you and your fellow Jayhawks wanted it more. You played in a crisp game of basketball, with both teams as well as they had all year. It was one of those "instant classic" games that might be seen someday on ESPN Classic.
As usual, you were efficient, not forcing bad shots or trying to do too much. On Wednesday, you will play your last game in Allen Fieldhouse. It will certainly be an emotional day for you. You have been through so much in your four years, especially with your injuries. But you worked through those, never giving up, despite your frustrations. Thank you for four great years Wayne.

Dominates
Even with Kemp's 12 rebound game, the Jayhawks were defeated handily 42-32 in team rebounds.
The normal inside-outside combination of juniors Crystal Kemp and Erica Hallman fell flat and produced only 13 points.
"We didn't have an inside presence," Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks cut the lead to 15 after a Burras steal and a Hallman free throw, but the comeback never materialized.
The brief Kansas run was answered swiftly by Kansas State, and the outcome was soon cemented. The Wildcats
scored on seven of their next eight possessions and the Jayhawks converted on only one in the same stretch.
"That's K-State." Burras said. "Everything they shot went in."
A 15-point advantage was quickly widened to 31, and the rout was on.
This performance was far from predictable after Kansas played No. 6 Baylor tightly in its previous game only to lose bv 10.

"What is a shock to us is to come out and struggle so much offensively and defensively." Henrickson said.
Henrickson is looking for her squad to rebound in the final regular season Big 12 Conference contest tomorrow with Iowa State in Ames, Iowa.

"It's great to win a championship in the Big 12 Conference, especially after winning the Pac 10 championship at Arizona," Linnen said. "It's great to add it to my resume."
Linnen said she felt the added pressure of jumping with the conference's best. "It's great watching girls jump better than you; it inspires me," Linnen said. "But it inspires the other girls too."
Other notable finishes included Sheldon Battle's second-place finish in the men's shot put, throwing 62 feet, 11.5 inches. Battle was ranked second in the Big 12 going into the meet.

Senior Aaron Thompson and freshman protege Julius Jiles finished eighth and sixth in the 60-meter hurdles, respectively.
Jiles, a Kansas City, Mo., native, finished in 7.95, and Thompson, from Lenexa, finished in 8.00.
The team will split this weekend to go to the Alex Wilson Invitational in South Bend, Ind., and the Iowa State Invitational in Ames, Iowa.
This will be the team members' last opportunity to qualify for the National Indoor Championships.

BASEBALL
Royals struggle with aching backs
The Kansas softball team went 3-2 this weekend at the Palm Springs Classic. The Jayhawks played a pair of doubleheaders followed by a game yesterday afternoon.
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Besides having to worry about Mike Sweeney's back problems, which have kept him out of more than 100 games the past two seasons, the Kansas City Royals have another bad back to deal with this season.
"It wasn't the back (hurting) so much, but it was shooting pain through my left leg," Gobble said. "I didn't go in the trainer's room and tell them about it."
Lefthander Jimmy Gobble missed his final start last season when a physical revealed a back problem. Gobble was sent to Los Angeles to see a spinal specialist, where it was discovered he had a pinched sciatic nerve.
Gobble finally confessed the leg pain to Steve Joyce, the team's physician, who ordered an MRI of Gobble's back.
"They spotted it." Gobble said, "In my mind, I wanted to pitch my last start. It would have been nice to get the 10th win."
Drew Davison
He said he was not concerned about his back this year, but said he wasn't sure how it would respond because he had yet to pitch an exhibition game.
Gobble had to settle for a 9-8 record with a 5.35 ERA in 25 games, 24 of them starts.
On Friday, the team defeated Utah, 2-1, in eight innings before falling to Brigham Young, 3-0.
Gobble spent the offseason strengthening his stomach and core muscles to protect his back. He returned twice to Kansas City to have trainer Nick Swartz oversee his exercise workout.
Yesterday, Kansas ended the tournament defeating Arizona State 3-0.
Saturday, the team edged Cal State-Fullerton 3-2. No. 12 Washington held off Kansas in the night cap, winning 4-0.
After the tournament, Kansas improved to a 7-7 overall record. The Jayhawks next tournament will be March 5-6 at the Kay Brechtelsbauer Classic in Carbondale, Ill.
Serena Settlemier, junior pitcher, led the team. She earned the win in each of the Jayhawks' three victories. She did damage offensively as well. Against Cal State-Fullerton, she hit her 15 career home run. The home run ties her with Kansas coach and former player Tracy Bunge for fourth place on the Jayhawks' career home run list.

Jayhawks take 2 of 3 in series
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2005
Games against Northern Colorado include grand slam and near no-hitter for Kansas
Hawks
37
Senior pitcher Mike Zagurski hurls the ball toward home plate. Zagurski allowed no hits through seven innings and recorded a career high 13 strikeouts during the Jayhawks 11-1 victory against Northern Colorado Friday at Hoglund Ballpark.
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@hansam.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
In a series that produced two home runs, a grand slam and a near no-hit pitching performance all in the Jayhawks' favor, it seemed unfitting that Kansas only won two of the three games. The three-game series against the Northern Colorado Bears produced two victories, 11-1 and 9-8, and one defeat, 2-3.
Sophomore left-hander Sean Land started on the mound for Kansas, but he surrendered four runs in the top of the fourth. Land had six strikeouts, the high for Kansas on Saturday. No Kansas pitcher pitched more than 3.2 innings in the final game.
An 11-1 blowout in game one in Hoglund Ballpark gave the impression that the Jayhawks had an easy series ahead. Two extra-inning games later, the team found itself in an offensive battle with the Division I Bears. A walk-off home run by Kansas junior outfielder A.J. Van Slyke during game three highlighted the day and saved the Jayhawks series victory.
In the deciding game of the series, both teams put up more offensive threats than the previous two games. Although the Bears out-hit the Jayhawks in both games of the doubleheader. Kansas found a way to win.
the three-game series spread throughout two days witnessed two different Ivahawk teams.
Junior right-hander Kodiak Quick grabbed the win for the Jayhaws. Northern Colorado's Tyler Pearson was handed the series-ending loss.
While Friday displayed a stellar performance by Kansas pitcher Mike Zagurski and dominance at the plate. Saturday was a constant offensive battle combined with choppy defense and 11 total pitching changes.
"I think the first game was an example of how hard baseball is to play some days," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "I almost feel like we won the game we should've lost and lost the game we should've won."
Right fielder Brad Beaman led the Bears offensively, going 4-6 at the plate. Designated hitter Brennan Garr went 2-5 and second baseman Brad Baker hit 3-5 in to post a strong offensive force in game three.
"The first three innings were all right. The fourth inning I started losing some control and it ended up being a very good outing." Land said. "This is nothing to be concerned about. Anyone can win in baseball."
But the real offensive story came from the home team. Van Slyke did his damage on Friday night when he belted out an eighth inning grand slam. Van Slyke was not satisfied, and as his father and former major league ballplayer Andy Van Slyke watched from the stands, he went yard for the second time of the series. Only this trip around the bases was a walk-off solo home run, putting the lavihayks ahead of the Bears, 9-8.
scoreboard and he said it went out by three inches," Van Slyke said of his Friday night grand slam. But because of his father, the story was different on Saturday. "It felt great. I've never hit a walk-off homer before. It was the first game he's seen this year, so it was a coincidence, but it was pretty great."
Northern Colorado struck first, however, on Saturday in the first game of the doubleheader. After starting right-handed pitcher Clint Schambach threw up three scoreless innings, the Bears connected on two doubles and a Jayhawk error for two runs. The senior hung on until the top of the sixth until a stand-up double took him off the mound. Schambach
gave up two runs and struck out only one in his 5.2 innings of work.
"I asked the guy working the
Kansas did not answer back offensively until the bottom of the sixth. In a sloppy Northern Colorado effort, a grounder by senior outfielder Gus Milner to shortstop turned into two errors and gave Kansas freshman outfielder John Allman room to score. Allman also scored the tying run of the game in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly ball off the bat of freshman second baseman Ryne Price.
Left-handed senior Zagurski threw a career-high 13 strikeouts against the Bears. As the pitchers in the Kansas bullpen constructed a 'Z' with a paper cups, one for each strikeout, Zagurski kept a no-hitter alive into the seven inning.
Besides Van Slyke's grand slam, the game-one 11-run effort was led by junior outfielder Matt Baty and designated hitting junior Jared Schweitzer. Each had two hits, including a solo Schweitzer home run.
"We have the power but we are not really a home run hitting kind of team," Schweitzer said. Despite the loss, Price is not upset at the results of the series and looks forward to the continuing improvement of his team.
Allman's game-tying run was enough to propel Kansas into extra innings, but not enough to pull out a victory. Northern Colorado left fielder Ryan Symons hit the game-winning RBI against junior righthanded closer Don Czyz. Czyz took the first home loss of the season for the Jayhawks while Brennan Garr picked up his first win of the season.
"I think the great thing was that we got out of some jams late with Quick and Czyz." Price said. "There's five new players playing so we're still trying to piece it together. We're only about a month away from being a really good team."
Kansas will face Southwest Missouri State at 3 p.m. tomorrow at home.
"You try and keep the same mentality every day," Czyz said. "That way you're not wavering too much between good and bad. Times like these it's hard to do but you have to tough through it."

Golf team to play on new course in Texas
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The women's golf team will begin its spring season today at the Texas A&M "Mo"morial invitational in College Station, Texas. Although the team has competed in this event in the past, this year the course will be different.
Coach Erin O'Neil said Amanda Costner, Tiffany Woods, Chelsey Pryor, Jill Womble and M er d i t h Winkelman would play The Traditions Club, a brand new course just built for Texas A&M. The Traditions Club opened in June 2004, and was designed by Jack Nicklaus and his son Jack Nicklaus II.
The Jayhawks will compete against 13 other teams, including schools Baylor and K.
"Illinois State Northwestern and Kansas State are the ones we want to finish ahead of to help our regional bid."
Erin O'Neil Women's golf coach
compete against 13 other teams, including fellow Big 12 Conference schools Baylor and Kansas State.
O'Neil said that the biggest competition would come from Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Christian and Southern Methodist. She said she would keep her eye on a few others as well.
"Illinois State, Northwestern and Kansas State are the ones we want to finish ahead of to help our regional bid," O'Neil said.
The players are prepared, having played a practice round at the course yesterday. The team was also lucky that the weather has been cooperative in Lawrence.
"We've been out three or four times each week to play," junior Chelsey Pryor said. "It was a little cold, but we bundled up and went out there."
In their practice round, the Jayhawks paid attention to a few different things, so that they could prepare as best they could. Pryor said the players wanted to figure out the best course strategies. She said the team would be looking for targets to aim at for the best ball placement, and would focus on the greens to see where they break.
The Texas A&M "Mo"morial invitational is the first of five tournaments the Jayhawks will play in before the Big 12 Conference Championship, which will begin April 22 in Austin, Texas.
