Lied Center officials are planning an expansion of the building for the first time since its opening in 1993.
The planned renovations include an 800-seat theater that will be connected to the main theater that has 2,000 seats. The new theater would be constructed along 15th and Iowa Streets.

Haworth set for backup

Power outages threaten harm to lab specimens

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Professors and researchers in Haworth Hall, north of Robinson Center, have been worrying about power outages for years. Although no damage occurred in this case, last week's temporary power loss had the potential to destroy thousands of specimens from more than 10 years of research.
The other half of the building is expected to be hooked up to the emergency backup power in early April and to quell concerns of Haworth occupants.
Only half of the building's backup power can only support emergency lighting, which would leave freezers and temperature-sustaining equipment to thaw.
The total cost is about $142,000, Kandi White, division of biological sciences business manager, said.
Money for the upgrade was provided by the provost's office.
Backup power was not included in the building's plans when it was constructed in 1964. A backup power source was added with Haworth's new wing in 1982, White said.
Backup power is something faculty and staff have been pushing for at least five years.

Researching nervous system development with an organism called a nematode as a model, Lundquist has thousands of specimens in minus-80-degree Celsius freezers. He said he had 12 years of research stored in those freezers.
"Power outages happen, and it only makes sense to have a backup system," he said.

FAILING GRADES
Football among lowest academic ranking
BY ROSS FITCH

KANSAN SENIOR STAFF WRITE
The NCAA released its Academic Progress Rate, APR, scores of Division I institutions yesterday. Four Kansas varsity teams failed to meet the new score of 925, which is roughly equivalent to a 50 percent graduation rate.
Baseball, 864; football, 899; and women's basketball, 780, were well below the mark. Men's basketball hovered near the mark with a score of 923.
Low scores for men's basketball, football and baseball came as no surprise, as those three sports were identified as problem sports by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors in January. Low scores for the women's basketball team could be explained.
During the coaching transition, at least three players did not return, which hurt the team's APR score, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs. But, the low scores can't be pinned on the current women's basketball staff, he said.
"We are confident that Bonnie Henrickson will recruit and train the kind of student-athletes who will flourish here athletically and academically," he said.
He said the athletics department was also not worried about the other sports because the scores were based only on one-year data.
"We are very confident that, based on our commitment to academics, our scores, over time, will be satisfactory," he said.
Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins said he was confident that scores would improve following the announcement.
“This measure of academics is brand new to everyone,” Perkins said. “Now that we understand what the APR is and what the standards are, we fully expect our programs to adjust to the new measurement,"
The current reports are for informational reasons only. No penalties, which include the loss of scholarships, will be assessed this year. Next fall the same statistics will be compiled again. Schools will start to be penalized after two years worth of data has been collected.
According to the data, 7.2 percent of all men's and women's Division I teams fell below the mark. About 50 percent of all Division I institutions have at least one team that falls below the mark and could lose at least one scholarship in 2005-2006. The problem areas remained in men's basketball, baseball and football.
The KU men's basketball team score is in what is considered a "buffer zone." which is essentially a margin or error. The margin is used to account for small squad sizes and allows teams to be a little below 925.
The men's basketball teams' four seniors and redshirt junior Jeff Hawkins are expected to graduate in May, coach Bill Self said. The graduation of these players would most likely increase the team's APR score above 925.
Chancellor Hemenway said that 15 out of the University's 18 programs were well above the mark and that reflected positively on the University. The University has more than 50 percent of its players graduating, said Hemenway, who serves as chairman of the NCAA Board of Directors. The purpose of the rule ensures that teams encourage their players to graduate, he said.
The University took pride in itself in the past for focusing on graduating its players, and it will continue to take pride in the future, he said.
"We have great confidence in our coaches and players and the progress we've made up until now," he said.

HALO tackles cultural stigmas

The movie attempts to answer the question, "What would happen if there were no gardeners, restaurant cooks or any Hispanics in California?"
Members of the Hispanic- American Leadership Organization showed students "A Day Without a Mexican" last night to bring awareness of immigration issues and to kick off HALO Week.
HALO Week gives the organization an opportunity to hold educational programs for its
members and the campus.
Hispanics are a big part of the American culture, and the movie showed the impact that Hispanics have in the United States, said Victor Aguilar, Dodge City sophomore and vice president of HALO.
"This movie is important because the majority of immigrants are Mexicans, and they take a lot of the jobs people don't want for less money," Aguilar said.
Twenty-five people came to the screening last night.
The film is a remake of the director Sergio Arau's short film with the same title. The film debuted in May 2004 at Televisa Cine in Los Angeles with good sales, but it did not impress the critics.
Ella Taylor of LA Weekly said in her review that the movie had a terrific premise that was mangled to a pulp, then beaten to death and described it as a forced mockumentary. Mockumentaries are

The lead ball in front of Marvin Hall, located west of Budig Hall, is made of wood on the inside. Over the past two years, the wood has gotten too wet and is rotting. Some of the ball's lead plates are also falling off.
Famed sphere eroding
BY NATE KARLIN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After two years, the weather has taken its toll on the lead sphere in front of Marvin Hall.
During the time it has spent sitting outside, the sphere has deteriorated on the inside, and architecture professors don't know if they will repair or remove it.
First-year graduate students built the sphere in fall 2002 to promote that year's spring Art and Design exhibition, Dan Rockhill, professor of architecture, said.
The sphere gained a bit of fame when it was part of the festivities surrounding the men's basketball team's trip to the Final Four in 2002.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture, received a phone call at about 3 a.m. from the police who said the
giant ball was found across lahwawk Blvd.
"My suspicion is some enthusiast and very strong man — with the help from a few beers — decided to move it." Gaunt said.
have ripped up the woods.
Placing the sphere outside, however,
made it susceptible to the weather,
which it was never meant to withstand.
The giant sphere was supposed to be placed inside the Art and Design Building, located west of Budig Hall, for its annual exhibition, said Randy Taylor, St. James, Mo., graduate student and one of the students who built the sphere. But it remained outside because it was too big and would have ripped up the floor.
The giant sphere, which took about a month to build, is composed of plywood rings and sheet rock covered by lead triangles. It weighs a little less than 1,500 pounds.
"There's a human fascination with giant objects," Taylor said.
Professors wanted the first-year graduate students to build a platonic solid for that year's annual Art and Design exhibition.
Design composition Rockhill suggested the students build an object using extra lead he had, Taylor said.
The students then decided between a cone or a sphere. They chose to build a sphere because the cone would have been too difficult, Taylor said.
Two years later, Taylor said he was not sad to hear about the sphere deteriorating because he has moved onto bigger projects in the graduate program. But he said he enjoyed building it because it was different.
"It was fun to see this giant sphere as tall as I am," Taylor said.

University Archives, Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas
Hunter S. Thompson, the self-proclaimed "gonzo" journalist, brought his addictions and his wit to the University of Kansas almost 18 years ago to the day of his tragic death. The University Daily Kansan staff reporter, Jennifer Forker, covered the event and spent an entire day with Thompson.
Hunter S.
Like his idol, Ernest Hemingway, Thompson killed himself Feb. 20, with a shotgun blast to the head. Author of the book, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," Thompson was known for his substance abuse and his derisive wit.
Thompson gestures to the crowd during his last speech at the University of Kansas. The journalist and author recently committed suicide.
Riding to the airport with a University student liaison, Forker did not know what to expect.
"First of all, we spent several hours trying to find him and get him out of the airport," Forker said.
Forker and the liaison waited for almost an hour because Thompson had wandered into the bowels of the airport where the baggage was handled. Eventually, Thompson found them.
Accompanying Thompson were famous pornographers Jim and Artie Mitchell, and a young unnamed girlfriend, whom Thompson referred to as his "assistant."
The University provided a limousine and a car for the Kansan writer and student liaison, Forker said. Thompson would not take the limousine and demanded the two students drive him to the University.
"We didn't know who he was going to have with him," Forker said. "We were a little surprised to see the people he brought."
Once in the car, Thompson had to stop for liquor and food, because he said he had not eaten in two days. The students went to a liquor store, where Thompson bought a bottle of scotch, and then to Hardee's for roast beef and fish sandwiches, on which Thompson only nibbled.
Thompson may try to "He drank nearly the entire ride back and began acting obnoxious," Forker said. "He started squishing ketchup packets against the seats of the car."
By the time the Kansan reporter and KU liaison delivered Thompson
The event was supposed to be a speech, Forker said, but Thompson turned it into a question and answer. He asked for a question from the person who "is the most pissed off and articulate, and whoever is the ugliest and the meanest."
to the Kansas Union, he was a half-hour late.
Students were yelling, and the room was filled with, what Forker called at the time, "smoke, confusion and more smoke."
Students at the speech came with different expectations for what they would hear.
The question and answer session lasted for about an hour, and culminated with one audacious student asking him why he came, and asking if it was because of the money.
A little slowed by the booze, Thompson pondered and then answered the question.
'I kind of expected a verbal brawl',
said William Volmut, Topeka senior
at the time, in the original Kansan
article on the event.
"No, I just wanted to come out here and talk to you guys," Thompson said. "I was puzzled as to what the college people were thinking."
Sitting in the stands watching the people leave, Forker remembered that not all people felt the way she did.
The question would be the last indelible memory Thompson would leave at the University. The answer left an impression with many of the attendees.
"Maybe he slurs his speech all the time," said Jim Farquhar, Olathe sophomore at the time, in the article. "I think he was high."
"I remember sitting there realizing that his fans loved him; they ate it up," Forker said. "He personally repulsed me, and I didn't understand the appeal."
After his death, Forker does not have the fondest memories of Thompson.
"Ever since the interview, people have given me his books to read, but I never do." Forker said.
The last wish of Thompson was to have his remains shot from out of a cannon over his Colorado ranch.
Thompson, then and now, epitomized a line in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," he was "too weird to live and too rare to die."

Bomber attacks clinic
IRAO
BY ALI AL-FATLAWI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HILLAH, Iraq — In the deadliest single strike since the fall of Saddam Hussein, a suicide car bomber attacked mostly Shiite police and National Guard recruits lined up for physical exams at a medical clinic yesterday, killing 115 and wounding 132 there and at a nearby market.
The bombing presented the boldest challenge yet to Iraq's efforts to build a security force that can take over from the Americans.
The explosion in Hillah was so powerful that the only remains of the bomber's car was the twisted wreckage of the engine block.
Dozens of people stepped through small lakes of blood that pooled on the street to retrieve shattered limbs, severed
Empty shoes and sandals of those killed or wounded were thrown into a corner. Scorch marks infused with blood covered the clinic's walls. Morgue workers unloaded plastic body bags from pickup trucks as weeping relatives looked on.
"I was lucky because I was the last person in line when the explosion took place. Suddenly there was panic and many frightened people stepped on me. I lost consciousness and the next thing I was aware of was being in the hospital," said Muhsin Hadi, 29, a recruit.
The bombing comes at a time when the Sunni Arab insurgency is trying to disrupt the formation of a new government set to be led by majority Shiites for the first time in modern history.
"We must depend on the sons
of the Iraqi people who believe in the new Iraq, and not on those bad elements that infiltrated the security circles and turned into a problem," al-Hakim told the Associated Press on Sunday. "We can't solve the security issue unless we reconsider the internal structure, to spot those bad elements."
Maj. Gen. Osman Ali, an Iraqi National Guard commander in Hillah, said 115 were killed and 132 wounded in the Hillah bombing. A health official in Babil province said the death toll could rise because authorities still hadn't counted many body parts.
The attack took place about 9:30 a.m. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack. Police in Babil province said "several people" were arrested, but gave no details.

Brownback says U.S. must pressure Syria
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The United States must put greater pressure on Syria to stop allowing Iraqi insurgents from using the nation as a staging base for attacks, Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), said yesterday after completing a two-day trip to Iraq.
Brownback and other members of a congressional delegation met with Iraq's top political leaders, including interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, who warned of Syria's role.
"Clearly we need to put more pressure on Syria to confront and capture the guys that are doing some of the command and control from Syria," Brownback said yesterday in a satellite telephone interview while flying back to the United States.
Brownback was returning the same day a suicide car bomber killed 115 people in a crowd of police and national guard recruits as they gathered for physicals outside a medical clinic south of Baghdad — the single deadliest attack in the two-year insurgency.
Syria is already under intense pressure from the United States and other nations to stop harboring Iraqi fugitives, though Syrian President Bashar Assad has denied accusations his regime lets militants slip across his nation's border with Iraq. On Sunday, Syria captured and handed over Saddam Hussein's half brother, one of the most-wanted leaders of the Sunni-based insurgency.
Despite the setbacks from continued insurgent attacks. Brownback said he was optimistic about Iraqi security forces improving and with the commitment of Iraqi leaders toward building a durable political system.

Police won't confirm BTK confession
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Police say they are confident that the arrest of a man suspected of being the BTK serial killer will end 50 years of terror, and a source said he confessed to some killings.
Dennis L. Rader, the church-going family man and Cub Scout leader arrested Friday, confessed to six killings, the source close to the investigation told the Associated Press on Sunday.
Rader was being held in connection with a total of 10 deaths and the source said investigators were looking at three other killings.
"The guy is telling us about the murders," the source said on condition of anonymity.
Police Chief Norman Williams angrily criticized news media reports and repeated the figure of 10 killings yesterday.
"These types of assumptions and speculations have and will continue to complicate an already complex investigation," Williams said.
Williams said he would ask prosecutors if they could take legal action against members of the media who reported "speculation, inaccurate and irresponsible information." But he did not go into specifics and refused to take any questions.
Sue Oqrockl/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rader, 59, was scheduled to appear in court today via video so prosecutors could recite yet-to-be-filed criminal charges against him and the judge could review bail. It was unclear whether Rader had a lawyer.
CHRIST LUTHERAN
Church-goers leave Christ Lutheran Church in Wichita on Sunday following a morning service. Dennis Rader, a suspect in the BTK killings, is a member of the church.
Rader was being held in lieu of $10 million bail in the deaths of 10 people between 1974 and 1991. Police had long linked the BTK killer to eight murders but added two more on Saturday after Rader's arrest and said their investigation was continuing.
Prosecutors had said initially they could not pursue the death penalty against Rader because the 10 murders linked to BTK happened when Kansas did not have the death penalty.
The source said police also were looking into whether Rader was responsible for the deaths of two Wichita State students as well as a woman who lived down the street from another known victim of BTK, the killer's self-coined nickname that stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill."
It was unclear when the three slayings occurred, but the source said one of them took place while Kansas' death penalty was in effect. Kansas restored the death penalty in 1994.
When asked for comment, District Attorney Nola Foulston said, "Your information is patently false," but she refused to say whether Rader had made any confessions or whether investigators are looking into
Rader's possible involvement in more unsolved killings. Police spokeswoman Janet Johnson also declined to comment specifically on the accuracy of the source's statements.

Americans stress about retirement
WASHINGTON — Millions of Americans are uneasy about their financial prospects in old age—a nervousness that compli-cates President Bush's uphill efforts to persuade them to accept dramatic changes he's proposing for Social Security.
Almost half of Americans who haven't retired say they
don't think they're getting ready for that time in their lives, an Associated Press poll found.
these private accounts will be better. They're not sure what to do."
Many say they're not confident they'll have enough money to live comfortably after they quit working.
"People are trapped in a dilemma," said Robert Blendon, a polling expert at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "They know they're not saving enough. They can't count on Social Security and they're not sure
More than half of Americans, 55 percent, say they oppose President Bush's plan to create personal accounts, while 39 percent say they support it, according to the poll conducted for AP by Ipsos-Public Affairs. Support for the plan drops among Democrats and independents when it's described specifically as "President Bush's plan."

Mogul attempts solo world trip
SALINA — Millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett took off last night to become the first person to complete a solo trip around the world in an airplane without making a single stop.
Fossett, the first person to circle the globe solo in a balloon, launched his GlobalFlyer from the Salina Municipal Ajport about 6:45 p.m. Fossett hoped to return to Salina on
Thursday morning.
The 23,000-mile flight had already been postponed several times because of shifting jet stream patterns or weather at the airport.
"I'm a bit nervous about takeoff," said Fossett, 60. "I will be the ultimate test pilot. I have a lot to worry about. It's a major endeavor."
Fossett will attempt to break seven aviation records, including the longest flight by a jet aircraft. The current record is more than 12,000 miles.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Win or lose, fans should treat players with respect
Press
Allen Fieldhouse has a national reputation for being a great venue in which to watch college basketball. ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas once described Allen Fieldhouse as the "Wrigley Field of college basketball" for it's unique setting and passionate fans.
During Kansas's Feb. 19 overtime defeat to Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse, a small group of fans crossed the line between being passionate and being classless by choosing to boo I.R. Giddens.
Giddens, who shot 3-for-16 from the field, was booed while subbing for fellow teammate Jeff Hawkins late in regulation. The small group of fans who booed obviously did not agree with coach Bill Self's decision to put Giddens back in the game, but that did not give them the right to disrespect Giddens, the Kansas basketball team and the University.
It was embarrassing to hear Kansas fans boo a member of their own team. What was even more embarrassing was the fact that people around the country witnessed this shameless act as well.
ABC televised the Kansas game against Iowa State for viewers in the Big 12 area while broadcasting the North Carolina game against Clemson for viewers in the ACC area. Because North Carolina was blowing out Clemson, ABC decided to switch games and televise the Kansas game in both markets, thus giving viewers who usually do not get to see Kansas basketball an opportunity to watch a game played in Allen Fieldhouse. This unique opportunity to show the nation
Those individuals should realize that as spectators they have little control over the outcome of a game. Fans do not have the ability to make shots, grab rebounds or play defense, but what they can do is support their team. Kansas fans booing Kansas players will not help the Jayhawks win basketball games. In fact, it does just the opposite; it gives opposing teams more confidence.
how special Allen Fieldhouse is was ruined by a few inconsiderate individuals.
No one was more disappointed with Giddens' performance than himself. He is the one who runs the sprints at practice and lifts the weights during team workouts. Giddens knows that his NBA draft status will be based heavily on his performances at the University.
Along with being counterproductive, booing college athletes is wrong. Many fans feel tremendous joy when the Jayhawks win and grief when they lose. But no matter how emotional a fan's ties are with the program, it pales in comparison to the athletes who actually play the games.
If fans cannot appreciate the efforts of Kansas' athletes they should not attend the games.
All college athletes work hard to perform to the best of their abilities. Along with doing the necessary academic work that is required of any student, they also put an incredible amount of time and effort into preparing for athletic competition.

KAT'S CALL
Semester in France offers look into a moderate-paced lifestyle
Anschutz Library is open all night. It's a good thing, because students' to-do lists need more time than the inadequate period of day the sun allows. But now food is fast and sleeping under tables at the library is socially acceptable. Sometimes a three-credit-hour class amounts to a 30-hour work week, which is precious time that other obligations and classes demand.
PAGE 5A
Recently, school's demands seemed to be too much to handle. After what I thought was a premature stroke turned out to be a panic attack, I found out I had attention deficit disorder. In the frenzy of junior year in the journalism school, I couldn't hack it. Now a magic caplet allows me to complete a day with all the items of my to-do list checked-off. It feels like cheating. While there's nothing more rewarding than a Post-it full of checked boxes, I feel like a sick person, and it's America's speed of life that needs treatment.
We are bombarded with messages demanding things need to be done fast, that we need to find more energy within our over-worked bodies and harvest it for the good of capitalism. We tell ourselves that we are goal-oriented and dedicate our lives to working toward a goal, often career-oriented and money-driven, when we should be experiencing the delight of living each day.

Watkins Health Center's Website, www.ku.edu/~shs, says that between 3 and 6 percent of Americans suffer from ADD or ADHD and take medication such as Adderall to be able to conquer a day without the distractibility and low concentration the disorder causes. We have "not enough hours in the day" syndrome, and it's no fault of ours.
Last semester, Paris was my home. While I busied myself learning the ins and outs of the culture and became a pro at choosing the best 1-euro bottles of wine, I discovered how to make "hurry" take a back seat in life.
My experience while studying abroad shed light on a lifestyle that we seem to miss on here in the United States.
I became accustomed to France's extended lunch hours and loved that I had to leave 30 minutes early to arrive anywhere on time.
I bought tennis shoes and managed to sleep nine hours each night.
In Paris, the pace of life slowed down. The French work week was 35 hours until lawmakers upped it to 48 earlier this month. Now the French face the mentality that brought them McDonald's 10 years ago.
Looking back, there is a dramatic dichotomy between my life in France and my life at the University of Kansas. There is definitely something amiss. My M.D. may cry "disorder!" and throw me baby-blue pills, but I say that America has the problem, and unfortunately, there's no pill to treat it.
It is dishouterning that motivation can be sold in an extended-release capsule. The conflict I face lies in a desire to somehow outfox the system so that synthetically generated motivation is not required to succeed in my life.
Building that dam would be as infeasible as extending a New minute. Instead, I will keep to my own pace and not even blink as the hurried pass me by.
But in a country where success means a bachelor's degree, and a nine-to-five job is essential to make loose ends unite, outfoxing the system brings the wrong results.
The answer cannot be to halt the flow of America's rapid current.

Perhaps the most disturbing observation is that 40-hour work weeks are the norm for employed adults. So, the average adult American female spends almost an entire work week in front of the TV.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, males spend 29 hours and females spend 34 hours per week in front of the television. The same institution states that "adults should watch less than 10 hours of television per week."

The above statement should lead you to stop and think about how much time you are spending in front of the television. X-Box or chatting on AIM.
This has made the transition into adult life easy and fun for me.
Now, perhaps I am biased because I grew up in a home without video games, cable TV or walkmats. Some may call this a sheltered childhood, but I call it smart parenting. I spent much of my childhood outdoors, climbing trees, making pies out of sand using Frisbees as a pie plate, building forts and most importantly spending quality time with my siblings, parents and the neighborhood kids.
Modern technologies have made home entertainment both cheap and easy to obtain. In fact, you don't even have to interact with the guy at Hastings, because you can rent a movie from the TV.
The need to be creative and personable in my childhood has made social situations pleasant and creativity something I appreciate.
My personal sentiments aside, www.webmd.com cited research done by Robert J. Hancox, MD, with the Dunedin School of Medicine at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Hancox monitored television habits of youths born in 1972 or 1973. The children and their parents reported the subject's viewing habits until the study concluded when each subject turned 26.
The researchers found that those who watched the most TV between ages 5 and 15 were "more likely to be overweight, have heart and respiratory problems, have higher cholesterol and smoke by age 21."
While television is a great way for someone to unwind mindlessly, there are other alternatives that are just as relaxing but that require some brain activity. Granted, as you grow older, you gain more responsibility, leaving less free time. There are so many wonderful things going on outside of your home that both relax and stimulate.
It is clear that health is directly affected by factors such as these, because sitting in front of the television takes away from time otherwise spent doing physical activity.

There are tons of organizations and common interest clubs on campus that allow students to find a place to start and a place to belong. The possibilities are endless.
Stroll down Massachusetts Street and walk into the one of the cool, locally-owned stores, pop into a restaurant or coffee shop or take in the sounds of the street musicians.
Cook a meal with friends and share the reward together. Start your walk to class 5 minutes early and take in the beauty of campus. You may run into someone you know or haven't seen in awhile.
Human interaction is more rewarding than sitting at home glued to the boob toob. Your social network will expand, you will learn new things, and this could lead to anything from a new best friend, to a future spouse, to a career move.
It is the people and the experiences that make college the unique adventure it is. When else in your life will you have more than 20,000 people around your age in a 10-mile radius?
So, the next time you are tempted to turn on the "idiot box" — be it your computer or television — stop yourself and opt for life entertainment instead.
And the best part about human interaction is it can be free. People usually don't think back to college with fond memories of a great game of "Halo 2."
There are so many people who you have the opportunity to meet and get to know.

Judge rules against prescription refusal
MADISON, Wis. — A Roman Catholic pharmacist who blocked a woman's attempt to fill a prescription for birth control pills should be reprimanded and required to attend ethics classes, a judge ruled yesterday.
Administrative Law Judge Colleen Baird recommended the punishment for Neil Noesen of St. Paul, Minn., who said it would be a sin under his religion to provide a contraceptive.
He refused in July 2002 to fill the woman's prescription himself or transfer it to another pharmacy.
Noesen's attorney, Krystal Williams-Oby, said the finding was unfair to her client and other pharmacists who have a personal objection to dispensing birth control. She said Wisconsin law does not address the issue, nor do state rules established by the Pharmacy Examining Board.

Lebanon's prime minister ousted
MIDDLE EAST
BY ZEINA KARAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT, Lebanon — With shouts of "Syria out!" 25,000 protesters massed outside Parliament in a dramatic display of defiance that forced out Lebanon's pro-Syrian prime minister and Cabinet yesterday, two weeks after the assassination of a popular politician touched off increasing unrest.
Minutes after Prime Minister Omar Karami announced he was stepping down, jubilant demonstrators — shouting, waving flags and handing red roses to soldiers — demanded that Syrian-backed President Emile Lahoud bow out, too, and pressed on with their calls for Syria to withdraw its troops from the country.
across the Arab world — could provoke a strong response from Syria, which keeps 15,000 troops in Lebanon. It also could plunge this nation of 3.5 million back into a period of uncertainty, political vacuum or worse.
Syria remained silent about the rapidly changing atmosphere in Beirut, where it ruled unopposed for years, even deciding on Lebanon's leaders, after deploying troops ostensibly as peacekeepers during the 1975-1990 civil war.
But the dramatic developments — reminiscent of Ukraine's peaceful "orange revolution" and broadcast live
Like their counterparts in Ukraine, the Lebanese demonstrators took their ground and held it — they planned to stay in Beirut's central Martyrs' Square again last night. And like Ukraine, their movement had trademark colors: the bright red and white of the Lebanese flag, waved high in the air and worn as a scarf.
The White House welcomed Karami's resignation, saying it opens the door for new elections that are "free of all foreign interference" from Syria, but called again on Damascus to pull out its soldiers.
"Syrian military forces and intelligence personnel need to leave the country," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. "That will help ensure that elections are free and fair."
In one sign Syria has no intention of just packing up and leaving, Syrian President Bashar Assad said in remarks
At first glance, the resignation of Karami and his government was a huge victory for the opposition, united by dislike of the Syrians, the Syrian-backed government and the drive to find those who killed former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri two weeks ago. Many blame Syria for his assassination.
published yesterday that there will be a price for Syrian troop withdrawal: a settlement with Israel.
"Under a technical point of view, the withdrawal can happen by the end of the year." Assad told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "But under a strategic point of view, it will only happen if we obtain serious guarantees. In one word: peace."
A series of protests have shaken Lebanon since Hariri, the nation's most prominent politician, was killed by a bomb in Beirut Feb. 14. Sixteen others also died.
The government may have stepped down, at least in part, in hopes of quelling the unprecedented anger at Syria and its allies in Lebanon. Despite the resignation, Damascus remains the major player in Lebanon; aside from
its troops, it has powerful allies, including the president, the intelligence services and the military.
President Lahoud quickly accepted the resignation of Karami's 4-month-old Cabinet — which replaced Hariri's government — and asked Karami to stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new government formed.
Opposition leaders — a diverse group of Muslim, Druse and Christians — demanded a neutral government to organize parliamentary elections this spring.
Druse opposition leader Walid Jumblatt said Lebanon "cannot wait for peace to be achieved" in the Middle East and demanded a speedy troop withdrawal.
The State Department's annual report on human rights abuses around the world, released yesterday, called the events in Lebanon a "Cedar Revolution" — a moniker that brings the country in line with Czechoslovakia's Velvet Revolution, Georgia's Rose Revolution, and Ukraine's Orange Revolution.
Yesterday's demonstration came exactly two weeks after Hariri's slaying.

"Having this additional space, along with the visual arts exhibit, is going to give us opportunities for different kinds of events," said Tim Van Leer, Lied Center executive director.

The planned expansion also includes a 2,000-square-foot education center that will be used for master classes with artists and teacher workshops in the arts.
does not raise the money, Van Leer said.
If the University does not raise the $7.5 million, the Lied Foundation Trust will still donate $5 million.
The time frame is tight, but raising $6.5 million in four months would be possible, said
John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association.
With the $1 million donation, the Kansas University Endowment Association will help raise the remaining $6.5 million, Van Leer said.
If the University raises at least $7.5 million, the Lied Foundation Trust will match that amount to bring the total to $15 million.
"We'll do everything we can to get the project moving forward," Scarfe said.
The expansion of the Lied Center will also benefit the School of Fine Arts. The Lied Center is one of the four facets of the school. The other three departments are music and dance, design and art.
The new 800-seat theater would serve as a better venue for certain performances, such as opera and dance, choral ensembles and instrumental concerts, said Steve Hedden.
dean of fine arts.
He said the 2,000-seat theater was too large for those performances.
"Chamber music is designed for a chamber, not a large hall," Hedden said.
The visual arts gallery would also provide the school with space it never had before to display student works, he said.
A construction date has not been set, but the University has until June 30 to raise the additional $6.5 million, Van Leer said.

Bad memories are tough enough to get over, but defeats are even more of an emotional burden.
The women's basketball team (12-14, 5-10 Big 12) will have to overcome both when visiting Iowa State for tonight's 7 p.m. contest.
Lurking in the past is a 70-37 home drubbing issued by the Cyclones (21-5, 11-4 Big 12) Jan. 12. Complete domination by Iowa State had Kansas on the verge of matching its lowest point total in program history, a footnote that was avoided with a basket at the end of the second half.
In both contests, Kansas received knockout runs in the early minutes and recovered neither time. Responding to the Cyclones' spurs will be essential in staying with the Big 12 Conference's highest scoring squad.
And then there is the Jayhawks most recent game, a 73-46 defeat at the hands of the Wildcats Saturday.
"If we get down, we've got to make runs," junior guard Erica Hallman said. "We've got to try to answer their runs."
Iowa State presents a threat with quick scoring. The Cyclones lead with the league lead in field goal percentage and rank second in threepoint accuracy.
Leading the Cyclones' attack is senior guard Anne O'Neil, who scores 16.7 points per game and put up 18 in the season's first meeting. O'Neil also is the conference's top long-range assassin, making 51 percent of three-point attempts.
Senior forward Katie Robinette and senior guard Mary Fox form the other two tips of the Cyclones' three-pointed spear. Fox currently is third in the Big 12 three-point rankings and adds nearly 11 points a contest. Robinette anchors the inside game with 15 points a game.
These three seniors will be playing their final regular season home game in Hilton Coliseum, and Senior Night is sure to be an poignant night

A Final Four, a National Championship game and an Elite Eight: That's a heck of a resume for any college basketball player. Add four college degrees, which they will all receive in May, and the result is something that is practically obsolete in college athletics today.
Wayne Simien, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and Mike Lee can say they've done all of that. As they suit up for their final game in Allen Fieldhouse tomorrow night, they will epitomize what's good about college basketball.
If Kansas defeats Kansas State, is will be one game away from adding an outright Big 12 championship to that list.
Kansas coach Bill Self said there was something exceptional about each guy, but collectively
When they give speeches after the game tomorrow night, there will be tears. But more tears are likely to come from the fans than the players. That's what puts these guys on the same level as Danny Manning, Jacque Vaughn, Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison. The fans feel as if they have a special relationship with them.
They will be remembered as one of the greatest classes in Kansas history. Over the last four years, Kansas fans have seen these guys evolve from followers to leaders, overcome an emotional coaching change and still represent their school with the utmost class.

Senior Night offers Lee a starting role
Tomorrow night's Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State could not have come at a better time for Kansas coach Bill Self. He has the excuse of being able to insert senior guard Mike Lee into the starting lineup in favor of sophomore small forward J.R. Giddens, but Self won't say it's an excuse.
It's Senior Night
It's Senior Night.
Self announced at his Monday press conference that Mike Lee would indeed get the nod over J.R. Giddens, but he did not specify if this change was for Senior Night purposes or was due to Giddens' lack of production.
Kansas Senior Nights have always allowed seniors, including walk-ons and seldom-used reserves, to get into the starting lineup. Lee is neither seldom-used nor a walk-on. He doesn't warrant a courtesy start, only to be pulled off the floor seconds into the game, as senior starters have in the past.
Lee deserves this start not because it's his turn to soak up the senior limelight, but because he outplayed the increasingly less effective Giddens in Kansas' 81-79 victory against Oklahoma State Sunday.
"Mike was a serious factor in the game yesterday." Self said.
Lee played 22 minutes against the Cowboys, scored seven points on 3-for-4 shooting, grabbed one rebound, had two assists and made one steal while not turning the ball over.
Giddens, on the other hand, played just 18 minutes and scored zero points on 0-for-3 shooting that included 0-for-2 from behind the arc. He missed his best scoring opportunity from the free-throw line on a one-and-one attempt in the first half. He grabbed one rebound, made three assists and got two steals, but he also committed two turnovers.
"If Mike's playing like he played yesterday, Mike needs to be in the game regardless of how J.R.'s playing," Self said. "Mike needs to get his minutes, so that certainly cut down on J.R.'s minutes as well."
In each of the last four games, Giddens' productivity and playing time has decreased. He has shot 10-for-38, or 26 percent, from the field and 5-for-25, or 20 percent, from three-point range, while averaging 6.25 points per game over that period. Giddens has not reached double figures in scoring since the victory against Colorado on Feb. 12 when he scored 11.
Giddens' confidence is clearly shaken. He has only attempted nine shots, including five three-pointers, in the last two games.
"Right now he's in one of those ... slump's not the right word, but he's in kind of a drought by his standards in the last two or three weeks," Self said.
Giddens isn't playing like a guy who expects to be an NBA lottery pick after this season. His recent performances have been atrocious and Sunday's game probably didn't help his case in front of 24 NBA scouts.
All season Self has used a "what have you done for me lately?" lineup that used different players during stretches when they were most effective.
He was able to get much needed production out of fresh Alex Galindo, C.J. Giles and

Swim team proud despite fourth-place finish
BY KELLY REYNOLDS
kreynolds@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The women's swimming and diving team returned to Kansas a little discouraged after competing in the Big 12 Championship Conference swim meet last week.
Although the team had some great performances and outstanding times, they placed fourth out of six teams, finishing behind Nebraska. Texas A&M and Texas.
Kansas coach Clark Campbell said he was OK with the team's performance, but he expressed disappointment in falling short of third-place Nebraska by only seven points.
"I think we were all a little
The Jayhawks were in third place on the first day of the meet after the 200 medley relay and 800 freestyle relay. They trailed the second-place Texas A&M Aggies by only four points.
bummed out," Campbell said. "We came up short. We really missed out on a few team goals."
When the second day rolled around, Kansas finished with a drop to fourth place despite solid performances by senior Amy Gruber and Gnatzig. Gruber placed second in the 50-yard freestyle with a season-best time of 22.92. Gnatzig swam the 500 freestyle and also set a Kansas season-best time at 4:51.31.
"Our team goal was to get third." junior Gina Gnatzis said.
On Friday, the third day of the meet, Kansas buckled down and jumped ahead of Nebraska by 34 points. The performances that boosted the Jayhawks included Gruber's 100-yard butterfly swim. Gruber swam a time of 53.59, also considered an NCAA "A" standard time. Campbell explained that all "A" standard time qualifiers would be invited to the NCAA Championship meet March 17-19 in West Lafayette, Ind.
Gnatzig had another good day as she finished sixth overall in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1.50.11. Freshman Terri Schramka also swam the 200 free and finished ninth by winning the consolation heat of the 200 freestyle with a time of
1:49.66.
"We had some outstanding swims. Allie Rubino, Lindsey Urbatchka, Lauren Bonfe, Amy Gruber, Miranda Isaac, Terri Schramka," Campbell said, "and the list goes on."
So if everyone was swimming great and pulling out seasonbest times, what went wrong?
Campbell thinks that the final day of the meet is what did it.
Nebraska, the battling contender with Kansas for the No. 3 position for three days, came out strong on Saturday night, when Kansas needed to be at its toughest in order to defend the lead over Nebraska that it had established on Friday.
"Nebraska came out fired on
on Saturday." Campbell said. "I
would give us a B. We had some pretty good things going on. I was OK with it."
"Seven points in a championship meet is like a buzzer beater in basketball," Campbell said, "it's so close."
But what Campbell and the Jayhawks aren't okay with is the seven-point deciding factor between third place Nebraska, and fourth place Kansas that is still lingering in their heads today.
Despite the disheartening finish, the Jayhawks are satisfied with their teammates. The team had 15 NCAA qualifications, Campbell said. Some were NCAA "B" Standard, and some were NCAA "A" standard.
The NCAA meet is getting real, real fast," Campbell said.
He said that those who qualified with NCAA "B" standard times should be recognized even though they probably wouldn't get an invitation to participate in the NCAA Championships. Swimmers like Gnatzig, sophomore Jenny Short, freshman Terri Schramka, senior co-captain Miranda Isaac and sophomore Hannah Bakke were among swimmers who qualified with NCAA "B" standard times.
Gnatzig said she was proud of the team for hanging in and swimming well over the weekend. She didn't look at the fourth-place finish negatively, but complimented the Cornhuskers on their swimming.

"Under a technical point of view, the withdrawal can happen by the end of the year." Assad told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "But under a strategic point of view, it will only happen if we obtain serious guarantees. In one word: peace."
At first glance, the resignation of Karami and his government was a huge victory for the opposition, united by dislike of the Syrians, the Syrian-backed government and the drive to find those who killed former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri two weeks ago. Many blame Syria for his assassination.
A series of protests have shaken Lebanon since Hariri, the nation's most prominent politician, was killed by a bomb in Beirut Feb. 14. Sixteen others also died.
The government may have stepped down, at least in part, in hopes of quelling the unprecedented anger at Syria and its allies in Lebanon. Despite the resignation, Damascus remains the major player in Lebanon; aside from
its troops, it has powerful allies, including the president, the intelligence services and the military.
President Lahoud quickly accepted the resignation of Karamiki 4-month-old Cabinet which replaced Hariri's gov-
Karami's 4-month-old Cabinet — which replaced Hariri's government — and asked Karami to stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new government formed.
Opposition leaders — a diverse group of Muslim, Druse and Christians — demanded a neutral government to organize parliamentary elections this spring.
Druse opposition leader Walid Jumblatt said Lebanon "cannot wait for peace to be achieved" in the Middle East and demanded a speedy troop withdrawal.
The State Department's annual report on human rights abuses around the world, released yesterday, called the events in Lebanon a "Cedar Revolution" — a moniker that brings the country in line with Czechoslovakia's Velvet Revolution, Georgia's Rose Revolution, and Ukraine's Orange Revolution.
Yesterday's demonstration came exactly two weeks after Hariri's slaying.
Expansion

"Having this additional space, along with the visual arts exhibit, is going to give us opportunities for different kinds of events," said Tim Van Leer, Lied Center executive director.
The planned expansion also includes a 2,000-square-foot education center that will be used for master classes with artists and teacher workshops in the arts.

The University has not determined if these planned projects would continue if it
If the University raises at least $7.5 million, the Lied Foundation Trust will match that amount to bring the total to $15 million.
With the $1 million donation, the Kansas University Endowment Association will help raise the remaining $6.5 million, Van Leer said.
If the University does not raise the $7.5 million, the Lied Foundation Trust will still donate $5 million.
John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association.
The time frame is tight, but raising $6.5 million in four months would be possible, said
"We'll do everything we can to get the project moving forward," Scarffe said.
The new 800-seat theater would serve as a better venue for certain performances, such as opera and dance, choral ensembles and instrumental concerts, said Steve Hedden.
The expansion of the Lied Center will also benefit the School of Fine Arts. The Lied Center is one of the four facets of the school. The other three departments are music and dance, design and art.
dean of fine arts.
He said the 2,000-seat theater was too large for those performances.
"Chamber music is designed for a chamber, not a large hall," Hedden said.
The visual arts gallery would also provide the school with space it never had before to display student works, he said.
A construction date has not been set, but the University has until June 30 to raise the additional $6.5 million, Van Leer said.

Bad memories are tough enough to get over, but deteats are even more of an emotional burden.
The women's basketball team (12-14, 5-10 Big 12) will have to overcome both when visiting Iowa State for tonight's 7 p.m. contest.
Iurking in the past is a 70-57 home drubbing issued by the Cyclones (21-5, 11-4 Big 12) Jan. 12. Complete domination by Iowa State had Kansas on the verge of matching its lowest point total in program history, a footnote that was avoided with a basket at the end of the second half.
And then there is the Jayhawks most recent game, a 73-46 defeat at the hands of the Wildcats Saturday
Iowa State presents a threat with quick scoring. The Cyclones lead with the league lead in field goal percentage and rank second in three-point accuracy.
In both contests, Kansas received knockout runs in the early minutes and recovered neither time. Responding to the Cyclones' spurs will be essential in staying with the Big 12 Conference's highest scoring squad.
Leading the Cyclones' attack is senior guard Anne O'Neil, who scores 16.7 points per game and put up 18 in the season's first meeting. O'Neil also is the conference's top long-range assassin, making 51 percent of three-point attempts.
"If we get down, we've got to make runs," junior guard Erica Hallman said. "We've got to try to answer their runs."
Senior forward Katie Robinette and senior guard Mary Fox form the other two tips of the Cyclones' three-pointed spear. Fox currently is third in the Big 12 three-point rankings and adds nearly 11 points a contest. Robinette anchors the inside game with 15 points a game.
These three seniors will be playing their final regular season home game in Hilton Coliseum, and Senior Night is sure to be an poignant night

Players prepare for Senior Night

KANSAN senior SPORTWRITER
A Final Four, a National Championship game and an Elite Eight: That's a heck of a resume for any college basketball player. Add four college degrees, which they will all receive in May, and the result is something that is practically obsolete in college athletics today.
Wayne Simien, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and Mike Lee can say they've done all of that. As they suit up for their final game in Allen Fieldhouse tomorrow night, they will epitomize what's good about college basketball.
If Kansas defeats Kansas State, is will be one game away from adding an outright Big 12 championship to that list.
Kansas coach Bill Self said there was something exceptional about each guy, but collectively
They will be remembered as one of the greatest classes in Kansas history. Over the last four years, Kansas fans have seen these guys evolve from followers to leaders, overcome an emotional coaching change and still represent their school with the utmost class.

they would go down as one thing: winners. The foursome boasts a 107-25 career record.
When they give speeches after the game tomorrow night, there will be tears. But more tears are likely to come from the fans than the players. That's what puts these guys on the same level as Danny Manning, Jacque Vaughn, Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison. The fans feel as if they have a special relationship with them.
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
"I think all four should be remembered by winning," Self said. "If you define a class by winning, this goes down as one of the best."
Senior guard Keith Langford slashes to the hoop past Oklahoma State defenders Ivan McFarlin and Terrance Crawford during the game Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse. Langford scored 14 points.

Senior Night offers Lee a starting role
Tomorrow night's Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State could not have come at a better time for Kansas coach Bill Self. He has the excuse of being able to insert senior guard Mike Lee into the starting lineup in favor of sophomore small forward J.R. Giddens, but Self won't say it's an excuse.
It's Senior Night.
Self announced at his Monday press conference that Mike Lee would indeed get the nod over J.R. Giddens, but he did not specify if this change was for Senior Night purposes or was due to Giddens' lack of production.
Kansas Senior Nights have always allowed seniors, including walk-ons and seldom-used reserves, to get into the starting lineup. Lee is neither seldom-used nor a walk-on. He doesn't warrant a courtesy start, only to be pulled off the floor seconds into the game, as senior starters have in the past.
Lee deserves this start not because it's his turn to soak up the senior limelight, but because he outplayed the increasingly less effective Giddens in Kansas' 81-79 victory against Oklahoma State Sunday.
"Mike was a serious factor in the game yesterday." Self said.
Lee played 22 minutes against the Cowboys, scored seven points on 3-for-4 shooting, grabbed one rebound, had two assists and made one steal while not turning the ball over.
Giddens, on the other hand, played just 18 minutes and scored zero points on 0-for-3 shooting that included 0-for-2 from behind the arc. He missed his best scoring opportunity from the free-throw line on a one-and-one attempt in the first half. He grabbed one rebound, made three assists and got two steals, but he also committed two turnovers.
"If Mike's playing like he played yesterday, Mike needs to be in the game regardless of how J.R.'s playing." Self said. "Mike needs to get his minutes, so that would certainly cut down on J.R.'s minutes as well."
In each of the last four games, Giddens' productivity and playing time has decreased. He has shot 10-for-38, or 26 percent, from the field and 5-for-25, or 20 percent, from three-point range, while averaging 6.25 points per game over that time period. Giddens has not reached double figures in scoring since the victory against Colorado on Feb. 12 when he scored 11.
Giddens' confidence is clearly shaken. He has only attempted nine shots, including five three-pointers, in the last two games.
"Right now he's in one of those ... slump's not the right word, but he's in kind of a drought by his standards in the last two or three weeks." Self said.
Giddens isn't playing like a guy who expects to be an NBA lottery pick after this season. His recent performances have been atrocious and Sunday's game probably didn't help his case in front of 24 NBA scouts.
All season Self has used a "what have you done for me lately?" lineup that used different players during stretches when they were most effective.
He was able to get much needed production out of freshmen Alex Galindo, C.J. Giles and

Swim team proud despite fourth-place finish
BY KELLY REYNOLDS
kreynolds@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The women's swimming and diving team returned to Kansas a little discouraged after competing in the Big 12 Championship Conference swim meet last week.
Although the team had some great performances and outstanding times, they placed fourth out of six teams, finishing behind Nebraska. Texas A&M and Texas.
Kansas coach Clark Campbell said he was OK with the team's performance, but he expressed disappointment in falling short of third-place Nebraska by only seven points.
The Jayhawks were in third place on the first day of the meet after the 200 medley relay and 800 freestyle relay. They trailed the second-place Texas A&M Aggies by only four points.
"I think we were all a little
bummed out." Campbell said. "We came up short. We really missed out on a few team goals."
"Our team goal was to get third," junior Gina Gnatziz said.
When the second day rolled around, Kansas finished with a drop to fourth place despite solid performances by senior Amy Gruber and Gnatzig. Gruber placed second in the 50-yard freestyle with a season-best time of 22.92. Gnatzig swam the 500 freestyle and also set a Kansas season-best time at 4:51.31.
On Friday, the third day of the meet, Kansas buckled down and jumped ahead of Nebraska by 34 points. The performances that boosted the Jayhawks included Gruber's 100-yard butterfly swim. Gruber swam a time of 53.59, also considered an NCAA "A" standard time. Campbell explained that all "A" standard time qualifiers would be invited to the NCAA Championship meet March 17-19 in West Lafayette, Ind.
Gnatzig had another good day as she finished sixth overall in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1.50.11. Freshman Terri Schramka also swam the frum and finished ninth by winning the consolation heat of the 200 freestyle with a time of
200 freestyle with a time of
"We had some outstanding swims. Allie Rubino, Lindsey Urbatchka, Lauren Bonfe, Amy Gruber, Miranda Isaac, Terri Schramka," Campbell said, "and the list goes on."
1:49.66.
So if everyone was swimming great and pulling out seasonbest times, what went wrong?
Nebraska, the battling contender with Kansas for the No. 3 position for three days, came out strong on Saturday night, when Kansas needed to be at its toughest in order to defend the lead over Nebraska that it had established on Friday.
Campbell thinks that the final day of the meet is what did it.
"Nebraka came out fired up on Saturday," Campbell said. "I
"Seven points in a championship meet is like a buzzer beater in basketball," Campbell said, "it's so close."
"The NCAA meet is getting real, real fast," Campbell said.
But what Campbell and the Jayhawks aren't okay with is the seven-point deciding factor between third place Nebraska, and fourth place Kansas that is still lingering in their heads today.
Despite the dishheartening finish, the Jayhawks are satisfied with their teammates. The team had 15 NCAA qualifications, Campbell said. Some were NCAA "B" Standard, and some were NCAA "A" standard.
would give us a B. We had some pretty good things going on. I was OK with it."
---
He said that those who qualified with NCAA "B" standard times should be recognized even though they probably wouldn't get an invitation to participate in the NCAA Championships. Swimmers like Gnatzig, sophomore Jenny Short, freshman Terri Schramka, senior co-captain Miranda Isaac and sophomore Hannah Bakke were among swimmers who qualified with NCAA "B" standard times.
Gnatzig said she was proud of the team for hanging in and swimming well over the weekend. She didn't look at the fourth-place finish negatively, but complimented the Cornhuskers on their swimming,

Former Kansas football player shows speed at NFL combine
Former Kansas defensive lineman David McMillan participated in the National Football League's scouting combine yesterday.
The combine is a series of tests to determine the physical abilities of potential NFL athletes.
According to the NFL, McMillan posted a time of 4.60 seconds in the 40-yard dash, one of the fastest times among defensive linemen. Of the 38 linemen who ran, McMillan finished second and the best in his group.
The only participant who posted a better time than McMillan was Wisconsin's Erasmus James who ran a 4.53. McMillan's time was even better than running back Maurice Clarett who ran his 40-yard dash time at more than 4.70.
McMillan was the only Kansas senior invited to the combine, and his 40-yard dash time yesterday was better than many projected first-round picks at the position. Georgia's David Pollack, a three time All-America selection, ran a 4.80, as did Iowa's Matt Roth.
Clarett, seeking a court order to participate in last season's draft, unsuccessfully sued the NFL. Two years ago, he left Ohio State amid accusations of violations of NCAA rules. Clarett was a big part of Ohio State's national championship team.

Kansas moves up the ranks, continues streak in the polly
Kansas jumped one spot to No. 7 in the Associated Press college basketball poll yesterday, after defeating Oklahoma State on Sunday.
The Jayhawks appeared in their 91st straight poll, the second longest active streak. The Duke Blue Devils, who came in at No. 6 this week, appeared in their 164th consecutive poll.
The illini (28-0) defeated Northwestern in their only game last week to remain No. 1 and clinch their second straight Big Ten title.
The 13-week run at No. 1 is the longest since Kansas was on top for 15 straight polls in 1996-97. Five weeks is the longest streak since Duke's five-week run in 2001-02.

Jayhawks face Bears in one-game standoff
BY ALISSA BAUER

KANKSAN SPORTWRITER
Matt Baty, junior outfielder, heads for home plate after rounding third base Friday afternoon. Baty hit 2-4, scored two runs and had 3 RBIs during Kansas's 11-1 victory against Northern Colorado. Today the jayhawks will play host to Southwest Missouri State at 3 p.m. today at Hooland Ballpark.
After back-to-back, multiple-game home series, the Kansas baseball team will take on Southwest Missouri State today in a one-game showdown.
For the Jayhawks, junior outfielder Gus Milner has led the
Kansas (12-4) has had early success at home this season, with a four-game sweep of South Dakota State and two-out-of-three wins from Northern Colorado over the weekend.
Coach Keith Guttin's Bears are led offensively by Jarrod White, freshman infielder, who is hitting .333 with three doubles in his three starts. White spent the fall semester at the University of Arkansas.
The Bears (1-5) will attempt to find success on the road, where the team has played all its games.
SMS comes into today's game after picking up two losses during the weekend at the Southern Mississippi Invitational. Errors factored into a late-inning 8-7 Southern Mississippi defeat and a 9-0 blow from Mercer.
But a rocky start to this season does not erase recent successes for SMS. The Bears are coming off of a third place finish in the Missouri Valley Conference in 2004 and a 51-28 overall record.
SMS and Kansas recruit many of the same players, coach Ritch Price said.
"They're a great team," said junior outfielder A.J. Van Slyke. "I love playing those guys."
In SMS's 41-year baseball history, the Bears have completed 23 30-win seasons. Even more noteworthy is the Bears' 2003 trip to the College World Series.
In the history of Kansas baseball beginning in 1879, the team has had only 10 30-win seasons. Two of those seasons were under Price.
"Their coaching staff does a great job," Price said. "It's two of the games that I enjoy most in the course of the season."
way at the plate. Milner is batting at a .400 clip, complete with 10RBIs. Sean Richardson, senior catcher, has remained steady at .392 with five doubles. Matt Baty, junior outfielder, continues to be the dominant force, hitting .388 and knocking in 18 runs.
Right-hander Kodiak Quick (4-0) was the projected starter, but his two-inning appearance in Saturday night's game took him off of the list.
Neither the Jayhawks nor the Bears has released the names of a starter, but both teams bring depth and talent to the mound.
SMS pitching is led by sophomore Brett Sinkbeil, who was last season's Missouri Valley Conference freshman of the year.
In last year's two-game match-up, the teams walked away with a split. The Jayhawks defeated the Bears 7-6 in Springfield, Mo., while the Jayhawks blew a ninth inning 8-4 lead at Hoglund Ballbark to lose 11-8 in game two.
"It's become a really good rivalry." Price said.
The first pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. today at Hoglund Ballpark.

Following the debacle in Manhattan, Henrickson stressed the importance of ignoring the distractions of a Senior Night against Iowa State.
Henrickson knows the team will play better than it did against Kansas State, she said.
"No matter how many people are there or what night it is, we've got to bring what we can bring," she said.

a comfortable lead. After the advantage was founded, the jayhawks folded and failed to produce ample firepower for a comeback.
Part of the problem, Hallman said, was in the lack of energy they brought into their last outing in Bramlage Coliseum. Without the proper focus, the offense stalled and gave up.
Despite the tough memories the Jayhawks are battling, optimism still remains on a team looking to lock up eighth place prior to the Big 12 Tournament.
"We've got to play with more heart," Hallman said. "We've got to come out ready to execute a game plan.
Either a Kansas victory or a Texas A&M (4-11 Big 12) defeat against No. 11 Texas will secure the spot for the Jayhawks.

which gave them the sevenpoint edge.
"Nothing negative came out of this weekend. We've trained hard this year, and we should never lose sight of that," Gnatzig said, "because that in itself is an accomplishment."
Speaking of accomplishments, Gruber, the only swimmer to qualify for the NCAA championship meet with NCAA "A" standard times was also happy with the way that the team performed.
"Overall, I think everybody did a good job and came out and swam their best," Gruber said. "Personally, I'm pleased with how I finished up. I'm really excited and pretty shocked at how I swam. I'm excited to see what happens."
Although most of the team is done with competition for the year, Gruber still has the NCAA Championships on March 17-19 in Indiana, and she's the only one who will go to the
World Championship Trials in Indianapolis in April.
Gruber may be the only one participating, but her team is backing her 100 percent. Gnatzig said that for the duration of Gruber's training, a few of her teammates were still practicing with her just for support.
"She represents our team well." Gnatzig said.
In addition to providing support for Gruber, the rest of the team is already looking into the future and next year too.
Campbell said he would set last weekend aside and look forward to the future as he and assistant coach Jen Fox will accompany Gruber on her journey to Indiana.
"I have to be thankful that I do have one more year here to come back and get best times," Gnatzig said. "We're focusing on next year already."

Winning the doubles matches would be the key to defeating Utah, Frank Polito, assistant tennis coach, said last week. But winning doubles was not enough.
The Kansas women's tennis team (1-7 overall, 0-1 Big 12) lost its seventh straight match, falling to Utah, 5-2, Sunday at the Wood Valley Racquet Club in Topeka.
In the singles draw, the Jayhawks dropped five of six matches, with four of the losses ending in straight-set defeats.

Freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva
"I thought that Liza competed at a high level and I was pleased with her performance," coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
Kansas freshman Lauren Hommell fell to freshman Cheyenne Reveche in three sets, 4-6, 6-4, 3-6.
Adeveeva has won her last two singles matches.
Reveche is off to an 8-1 start, a team-best for the Utes.
In doubles competition, Kansas secured a point, winning two out of three matches.
"We came out strong in doubles, but we committed too
many errors in singles play." Hall-Holt said.
Sophomore Brittany Brown and Hommell teamed up to knock off Elizabeth Ferris and Allison Hansen, 9-7.
Junior Luiza Loureiro and Avdeeva defeated Cinthia Saucedo and Reveche, 8-5.
Junior Christine Skoda and sophomore Ashley Filberth saw their three-match winning streak snapped, as they lost to Whitney Eber and Emily Kwok, 4-8.
The Jayhawks travel to Ames, Iowa, this weekend to face Iowa State on Saturday, followed by a match against the Iowa, in Iowa City, Iowa, Sunday.

Panthers steal chance for title

BOSTON — No. 24 Pittsburgh impressively snapped a three-game losing streak and made sure the Big East race will come down to the final weekend of the regular season.
Chris Taft had 12 points and eight rebounds to lead the Panthers to a 72-50 victory over No. 5 Boston College last night. That kept the Eagles, who are leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference after the season, from clinching a share of the Big East title.
The Eagles (23-3, 12-3) could still win the conference outright or share it if they beat Rutgers on Saturday. No. 15 Connecticut, which is a half-game behind BC, plays Georgetown tomorrow and No. 13 Syracuse on Saturday.

"If everybody worked as hard as Michael Lee, this team would be very good," Self said.
Now is the time to take Giddens out and put Lee in. There's no risk. Lee can't play any worse than Giddens has the last three weeks. It could be interesting to see what Lee could

Lee has been the sixth man for the last three years and has done a great job filling that role. He's earned the opportunity to be the fourth man, contributing
"He's been just as bit as valuable as the other guys, and people on the outside don't understand that because he doesn't play as much or get as many points or rebounds." Self said. "But he does some intangible things that certainly give us a chance to be good."

coach增强自己的 suspension PHILADELPHIA — Temple's John Chaney will not coach in the Atlantic 10 tournament as part of a self-imposed punishment for ordering rough play by one of his players in a recent game that resulted in an opponent's injury.
The Hall of Fame coach was already suspended by the school for the final three games of the regular season. Chaney sent in a player he described as a "goon" against Saint Joseph's last week, and the Hawks' senior John Bryant wound up with a broken arm.
"I believe the fair thing is for me not to coach during the Atlantic 10 championship tournament in Cincinnati," the 73-year-old Chaney said in a statement Monday. "John Bryant is unable to play in the tournament because of the injury he sustained last week against Temple. Neither should I be able to coach."
Saint Joseph's athletic director Don Dijluja declined to comment to The Associated Press yesterday.
When an MRI on Friday showed Bryant had a broken arm, Temple suspended Chaney for the final two games of the regular season.
"Now, when we go to our championship, it will be one less distraction," Atlantic 10 commissioner Linda Bruno said yesterday in a telephone interview with the Associated Press.
Chaney had apologized to Bryant and his family and offered to pay his medical bills. Chaney originally suspended himself for one game before the extent of Bryant's injury was known.
"I never intended — nor did any of my players intend — for anyone to be injured, regardless of what may have been said emotionally before, during and after the game," Chaney said. "But the unfortunate fact is that John Bryant was injured. I have taken full responsibility for my words and actions, and have apologized from my heart."

Teams respond to free agency
Wide receiver David Terrell, the eighth pick in the 2001 draft, was released by the Chicago Bears as NFL teams prepared for the start of free agency tomorrow by paring veterans to get under the salary cap.
Terrell was joined on the temporary unemployment line Monday by Cleveland safety Robert Griffith, 36-year-old line-backer Roman Phifer of New England, and three Atlanta defensive players who have been starters much of their careers: Travis Hall, Ed Jasper and Cory Hall.

Kangaroos defeat Crusaders 80-79
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brandon Temple had 20 points, including a three-pointer with less than seven seconds left, to lead Missouri-Kansas City to a 80-79 victory against Valparaiso last night.
The Kangaroos (16-11, 12-4 Mid-Con) overcame a five-point deficit in the last minute to win.
Carlton Aaron had 19 points for UMKC, Quinton Day had 16, and Mike English added 15.
Dan Oppland led the Crusaders (15-15, 10-6) with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Jarryd Loyd added 13, and Ron Howard had 12.
Howard had 12.
Valparaiso led 42-39 at half-
time.
with a minute left, the Crusaders led 78-73. Day then connected on two free throws with 55 seconds remaining to make it 78-75.
A traveling violation on Seth Colacasure gave UMKC the ball with 24 seconds left, and a drive by Day made it 78-77 at the 18.4 mark.
Day fouled Loyd, who made his first free throw but missed the second. Temple then launched the winning shot with 6.7 seconds remaining.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Teams wait for word on NCAA Tournament
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
- The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At No. 20, and with 20 wins already this year, Kelvin Sampson's team is all but guaranteed a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Oklahoma's coach said he would be surprised if the Sooners are joined by fewer than five other teams from the Big 12.
The Big 12, third in the latest RPI rankings behind the Atlantic Coast and Pac-10 conferences, already has three locks: Oklahoma, No. 7 Kansas and No. 8 Oklahoma State.
Lurking on the bubble — for now — is Texas A&M (18-7).
which seems assured of at least an NIT bid in first-year coach Billy Gillispie's remarkable turnaround season.
Iowa State (15-10) is still being discussed as an outside possibility for the NCAAs, while Kansas State (15-10), Nebraska (13-12), Missouri (14-14) and Colorado (13-13) all could get NIT invitations if things fall just right.
Since the Big 12 played its first basketball season in 1996-97, only one team with 20 victories by the end of the conference season has failed to earn an NCAA bid. That was in 1999, when Kansas State was relegated to the NIT — the Wildcats most recent postseason appearance — despite a 20-12 record.
Drop the win total to 19, and the chances are still pretty good — 40-for-44 since the formation of the Big 12.
Still, Texas coach Rick Barnes said, no team can afford to consider either number magic.
Of the teams hovering closest to .500, Nebraska appears to have the momentum going into the regular-season home stretch. The Cornhuskers have won two straight, a 74-67 home upset of Oklahoma State and a 76-69 road victory over Iowa State.
"We want to finish the season strong no matter where it takes us," coach Barry Collier said. "We've been an improving team, even though we don't always have the W's to show it."
Players
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
As they do on the court, each player will contribute something different to the Senior Night speeches.
Keith Langford he would speak off the top of his head.
"My number one goal is not to cry, though." Langford said.
Everyone who knows him is certain that the guard will not be at a loss for words.
"I will remember Keith as being clutch and cool," Self said. "Keith has a very dynamic personality that attracts people to him, but he is cool. He is 'Freeze.' That's his nickname, and he lives by it."
Maybe he'll talk about how he didn't want to come to Kansas at first, and how his mother made him come here. Perhaps he'll mention how angry he felt after the Jayhawks lost to Syracuse his sophomore year, and Roy Williams left. Or maybe, he'll get up there, say
something vibrant and make everyone laugh.
You just never know with Langford.
Mike Lee rattled off a list of people he wanted to thank, but said he would just go up there and talk.
Self said talking was what the reserve guard did best.
Lee is the locker room lawyer, Self said. Anybody who thinks they can beat him in an argument is nuts, he said.
Lee has been every bit as valuable as the other guys. Self said.
"He has a unique way of leading people and being positive, and that is hard to do sometimes when you are not playing a lot," Self said.
The interesting thing is, Lee didn't always feel valuable. He didn't even feel wanted.
There were many times during his freshman and sophomore years that he wanted to leave Kansas. He just didn't feel like he belonged. He thought about leaving over and over again.
Every time he felt the urge to pack up, he turned to his parents and Aaron Miles, his longtime friend, for support. His parents didn't want him to give up the opportunity he had, and Miles was always there to cheer him up.
After Roy Williams told Lee he hadn't given him a chance because he didn't act like he wanted to be at Kansas, Lee realized all he needed was a better attitude.
Now, if you ask Self, Lee is the hardest worker on the team.
"He's the first one to practice last one to leave, always working hard." Self said. "If everyone worked as hard as Mike Lee, this team would be very, very good, because I don't remember very many days where I had to get on him about his effort."
It's as if Aaron Miles doesn't think about it, he won't have to come to terms with the fact that his last game in the fieldhouse is approaching.
"I don't even like thinking about it." Miles said. "This is a
special place, and it is coming up ..." Miles trailed off.
His teammates say Miles is the jokester on the team, but the team jokester and Kansas' all-time assist leader said he hadn't thought about what he would say after tomorrow's game.
"Aaron is ornery, fun, tough and even when he is not playing his best, gosh, does he try hard." Self said of his point guard.
Kansas coach Bill Self has plenty to say about Miles.
Miles has 917 assists in a Kansas uniform — more than any other Jayhawk in history.
Miles has played with Jeff Boschee and Kirk Hinrich, two of the best point guards in recent Kansas history, but he has still started all but one game as a Jayhawk. (He didn't start on senior day of his freshman year.)
He will be looking at his parents, who have sat in the same
It is almost a guarantee that Kansas fans will bring countless "Big Dub" signs. But the All-American candidate won't be looking at them.
spot for every game this season. When asked whom he would thank tomorrow, Simien, whose faith is well documented, said he owed everything to his parents and God.
The Leavenworth native said he grew up dreaming about playing for Kansas. He didn't imagine that some day, kids would be idolizing him.
If everything goes right for him, Simien could be taken high in the NBA draft.
Tomorrow, the Jayhawks will wear special uniforms in honor of the night. Self said they were like "modernized throw-backs." Everything about the night will be special, Self said, because of the players who were being honored.
In recent basketball history, fans will point to Manning, Vaughn, Collison and Hinrich as some of the most memorable players to leave the program. Self said these four could be added to the group.

CRIME
Pitcher benched for fight

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A Lawrence police officer arrested a University of Kansas baseball player for battery early Sunday morning, according to a Lawrence police report.
A fight occurred at about 2:15 a.m. Sunday in the 400 block of West 14th Street. Lawrence police arrested Scott Sharpe, senior pitcher, shortly after, according to the report.
The victim, a 19-year-old KU
student, was holding a party at his house in the 1400 block of Ohio Street when two men entered uninvited.
The victim then told the two men to leave. The three men began arguing, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department.
As the two men were leaving the house, one of them slapped a friend of the victim in the face, Ward said.
The victim then followed the two individuals outside of the house.
Two or three other men met up
KU
with the two outside the house. The group attacked the victim, punching him five or six times, Ward said.

individuals involved in the altercation. The witness notified authorities.

block of Tennessee Street.
Jail records indicate that Sharpe posted a $100 bond and was released later that day.
Sharpe was the only individual identified and arrested, but several people were involved. Ward said.
The victim said that he couldn't tell whether all the individuals were members of the baseball team. It appeared that they all knew each other and had been out together earlier that

night. the victim said.
Baseball coach Ritch Price said he was disappointed and that Sharpe was suspended.
"I think from my perspective that we've handled it properly within our program," Price said. "It's something that you don't like to see happen, but players make mistakes. They pay penalties and hopefully they learn from those mistakes."
Price said he was concerned about the damage the incident
would bring to the program's reputation.
“It's certainly an embarrassing situation and it's embarrassing for our program,” Price said. “I think Scott understands that.”
"I think we've taken an appropriate action and hopefully we'll move forward." Price said.
Price declined to comment on how long Sharpe would be suspended.

DOLE INSTITUTE
Pizza attracts Dole interest Politics institute reaches out

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ed Rollins should be an intimidating person. His gruff voice and stout stature reinforce his career as a hard-nosed political strategist and former amateur boxer. But surrounded by people munching pizza yesterday, Rollins seemed a friendly uncle, albeit a knowledgeable one.
SOMERSET 2017
Rollins was a political director for President Ronald Reagan and has been a longtime political strategist in Washington D.C. He spoke with about 30 people yesterday in the Kansas Union for a program called Pizza and Politics. The program provided free pizza to students who wanted to discuss politics. It is part of a bipartisan series sponsored by the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
For Rollins, Pizza and Politics was more than a discussion; it was an opportunity to demystify politics.
Kelly Hutsel/KANSAN
"It frightens me that young people are frightened and disillusioned by politics," Rollins said.
One reason for this may be that the institute is still in its infancy, Lacy said.
Bill Lacy, who became director of the institute in September, has similar concerns. Lacy said that since the Dole Institute opened in 2003, it had not attracted as many undergraduate students as he had intended.
Ed Rollins, former political adviser under President Ronald Reagan, enjoys a laugh and slice of pizza after speaking with KU students yesterday afternoon at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union. Rollins told stories about the many campaigns he had been a part of and talked politics with about 30 students as part of the Dole Institutes' Pizza and Politics event series. The event allowed students to talk politics in an informal environment.
"We're kind of just learning like a baby," Lacy said.

Smoke-free unenforced
Signs don't keep smokers 20 feet away from doors
BY TY BEAVER
tbeaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Recent survey results suggest that the University of Kansas could be more nonsmoker friendly.
With 20-foot pieces of string and chalk, student volunteers went to 22 different campus
buildings and monitored their smoke-free entrances during the second week of November last year.
Each building on the main campus of the University is required to have at least one smoke-free entrance. Smokers are not supposed to smoke within 20 feet of that entrance, said Melissa Smith, manager of the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Results of the survey were released last week and show a problem with compliance, she said.
Smith said she planned to approach the Office of the Provost about altering the policy and changing the environment by moving ashtrays and putting signs 20 feet from the entrances.
Three of the buildings surveyed had no smoke-free entrances.
Five of the buildings had non-handicapped-accessible smoke-free entrances, and 16 of the 22 buildings had smokers within the 20-foot perimeter.
While Smith said that the results were upsetting, she did not lay all blame on smokers.
Most complaints come in the cold months, she said, when people don't like to move beyond doors and shelter to smoke.
Protecting others from secondhand smoke while not irritating smokers is the goal, she said.
"Every time the door opens, it just sucks smoke into the building." she said.
Thirteen of the buildings have an ashtray receptacle within the 20 foot perimeter, Smith said.

Late-night looting causes earlier store close
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@hansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A Lawrence convenience store will no longer stay open 24 hours after looters stole hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise.
The Zarco at 1500 E. 23rd St. will now close its doors from midnight to 5 a.m., because looters stormed into the store early Saturday morning, Feb. 19, Kelly Williams, store manager, said.
Williams said her store had looting problems in the past.
She thought the people who looted her store on Feb. 19 had been to Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., earlier that night because she noticed that a lot of the looters were wearing wristbands from that bar. She said that about 100 people were in her store during the time of the looting and grabbed anything they could get their hands on.
It's up to the individual store.
Williams also told police that she thought the looters were from Kansas City, Mo., because she noticed Missouri license plates on some of the cars parked outside. She also thought that the location of her store was part of the reason looters targeted it.
though, to close during the night if they have problems, Williams said. The Zarco at 900 Iowa has never had a problem with looters and will stay open 24 hours, she said.
"The owners are just trying to make money too," Williams said. "I don't think they can do anything about it after they leave."
"The store is on the way out of town, so they hit it when they leave." Williams said.
The bar owners, however, are not responsible for the actions of their patrons after they leave the bar. Williams said.
She also said that once patrons left a bar, it was up to the city to handle them.
Earlier during the night of the looting Williams received a call from Douglas County Emergency dispatch alerting her that Last Call would close early. The call was out of the ordinary because Williams never called anyone at dispatch to ask them to alert her of early bar closings. She didn't know why the bar closed early and Last Call could not be reached for comment.
It's not the policy or the responsibility of the Douglas County Emergency
Management Office to alert all night businesses about the closing of bars, Jim Denny, director of communications, said.
Denny said he questioned why the call was made as well and that it was not their policy to make calls to businesses.'
"When we do that, it levies a responsibility that we can't live up to," Denny said. "If we do it for them, we have to do it for everybody."

More than a floor By Paul Brand
Allen Fieldhouse is renowned for its aura and also its structure. The fieldhouse has enjoyed a number of floor designs throughout the years, each of which brings plenty of debate from the involved Jayhawk community. Pieces of previous floors have spread to Jayhawk faithful, including the fieldhouse itself, where one floor centerpiece is displayed in a trophy case.

He doesn't walk slowly, but he does walk carefully. Former Allen Fieldhouse usher Fred Plank worked at the fieldhouse for 46 years, from 1958 to 2004. Plank's night job saw its last days when a new organization took over the role of hiring game employees this season, but Plank's relationship with the fieldhouse and its frequenters, as well as his fond memories, will be long-lived.
Assembling Allen By Ryan Colaianni
Allen Fieldhouse began in 1927 as the crazy dream of a few key individuals. After being delayed by The Great Depression and World War II, the building of the fieldhouse finally became a reality in the early '50s. Since then it has endured many changes, from the many sports it has hosted to its changing seating sections to its various scoreboards — the newest of which will be introduced soon.

Tradition itself is a concept, an idea — it's not a tangible thing. But as time passes, certain traditions earn the privilege of community as a whole, so we editor to represent the campus' perspective

Tradition itself is a concept, an idea — it's not a tangible thing. But as time passes, certain traditions earn the privilege of becoming embodied by the things that surround them, and nowhere is this more evident than in the long-standing tradition of Kansas basketball. Here, Allen Fieldhouse and tradition are one and the same, from its court named after James Naismith to the innumerous records that have been set in its walls to the daunting reputation of its home court advantage. And Allen Fieldhouse doesn't only mean basketball. In past years, track, gymnastics, wrestling and volleyball have also held a presence in campus' most famed building. Phog Allen created a popular place.
In this magazine we honor the many events that have taken place in the fieldhouse since the day its doors opened, in 1955. The snapshots of history in this magazine, especially between pages three and 17, each took place in the fieldhouse and are presented through the eyes of The University Daily Kansan. Every year a handful of Kansan writers represent the student
community as a whole, so we editors could find no better source to represent the campus' perspective of the fieldhouse than the Kansan. Admittedly, we're also a bit partial to it.
This semester's writers have added their own perspective to the building's history with stories on the fieldhouse's past, its future and the people who have shaped the vibrant tradition of the Phog. We also can't get out of this note without crediting immensely the people of University Archives and the Kenneth Spencer Research Library, who were so good to us as we researched Kansan archives and fieldhouse photos. We couldn't have done it without them.
Those of us who worked on this project celebrate the embodiment of tradition, our own being the daily issues of the Kansan. Our research on the fieldhouse has taught us a lot about what it means to be great. We are proud and honored to guide you through the last 50 years of the fieldhouse,and we pledge to cover the next 50 even better. Thanks for reading.

READERS'KEY
If you have already flipped through these pages, you may be wondering why, between pages three and 17, some of the photos are such low quality and some of the headlines curvy and hard to read. The answer, friend, is that they came straight out of issues of The University Daily Kansan, some more than 50 years old. All Kansan reprints are courtesy of University Archives. We highlighted pieces of text from complete articles to help you understand the context and explanation of some stories. We have added some new original text, which introduces each decade and offers further insight into fieldhouse lore in the last three feature articles.
You will also notice some special boxes with this headline on them:
MAX'S MEMORIES
These boxes feature some of Max Falkenstien's greatest memories from the fieldhouse. Falkenstien has announced Kansas basketball games since 1947, eight years before Allen Fieldhouse opened. He began as a play-by-play announcer but transitioned to color commentator in 1983 when he was joined by announcer Bob Davis. Falkenstien and Davis can be heard on the Jayhawk Radio Network anytime the Jayhawks play.
Davis can be heard on the skywalk. After all the research we've done for this magazine, we like to think we know as much as Max and Bob. But that's up for debate, of course.

1955 TO 1965 BY JACK WEINSTEIN
It was the culmination of a dream. After countless delays and nearly $3 million in construction costs, Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's vision was complete. Although it was not the largest arena at the time, as Allen had wanted, it was close, holding approximately 17,000.
Allen wanted a facility that far exceeded not only the capacity of Hoch Auditorium, the Jayhawks home since the 1922 season, but the conditions as well. Opposing coaches and players, as well as his own, complained that the court, which was directly over a cement floor, caused shin splints and unnecessary bumps and bruises. In addition to the poor playing surface, the curved walls made it difficult to shoot the ball. In one part of the auditorium where two walls met, there was no room for out of bounds.
Allen got his wish with the completion of the fieldhouse in the winter of 1954-1955.
The Jayhawks played their first game in the fieldhouse on March 1, 1955, against Kansas State. Kansas won the inaugural game 77-67, led by Gene Elrutn, who scored 21 points for the Jayhawks.
Allen continued to win in the fieldhouse until the eighth game, when Kansas lost to Missouri on Feb. 6, 1956. Future Missouri coach Norm Stewart led all scorers with 20 points in the 85-78 victory Tigers. Following the 1955-1956 season, Allen was forced to step down as coach, due to the mandatory retirement age of 70.
"The Father of Basketball Coaching" retired with a then-record 746 wins against 264 losses, including a 590-219 record at Kansas. His teams won 24 conference championships and appeared in three Final Fours, including the national championship in 1952. His 1922 and 1923 teams were later awarded Helms Foundation National Championships.
In 1957, the All-American Chamberlain led a dominant Kansas team that went undefeated in the fieldhouse, going 10-0. The Jayhawks finished 24-3 that season, losing in the national championship in one of the most famous college basketball games of all time. Kansas lost to an undefeated North Carolina team 54-53 in triple overtime.
Dick Harp was hired to replace Allen. Harp's squad debuted at the fieldhouse on Dec. 3, 1956. Jayhawk fans cheered their team to an 87-69 victory against Northwestern that day, and witnessed the historic debut of a lanky 7-foot center from Philadelphia
— Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain scored 52 points and grabbed 31 rebounds, both Kansas records that still stand today.
On Dec. 14, 1959, famed Kentucky coach and member of Allen's 1923 Helms Poundation National Championship team. Adolph Rupp, returned to Allen Fieldhouse. On the court, the Kentucky Wildcats defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 77-72 in overtime. Allen was in attendance to lead a pregame ceremony in Rupp's honor.
The 1960s marked a transitional period in Kansas basketball history. Phog Allen and Wilt Chamberlain were gone. Dick Harp's teams struggled in the in the next couple years, posting a 7-18 record, including 1-9 in Allen Fieldhouse in 1961-1962, a record that still stands as the worst in the building's history. Harp retired after the 1964 season, winning his last game at Allen Fieldhouse with a 58-46 victory against Oklahoma State on March 7, 1964.
Harp finished with a record of 121-82 overall, 51-29 at Allen Fieldhouse. He coached teams to two conference championships and two NCAA tournaments, including the national runner-up team in 1957.
Ted Owens was hired as the Jayhawks fifth full-time coach before the 1964-1965 season. He coached his first game in Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 3, 1964.
One of the most bizarre moment in Allen Fieldhouse history occurred on Feb. 20, 1965. Kansas was on its way to an easy victory against Kansas State when two 6-by-12 foot banners, on opposites sides of the scoreboard, unrolled to reveal: "Go Cats, Kill Snob Hill Again." The theory was that several K-State students snuck into the building the night before the game and rigged the banners to the scoreboard when it was lowered onto the floor. No one was ever caught or charged for their role in the incident.
The first decade of Allen Fieldhouse represented a tumultuous time in Kansas basketball history. Legendary coach Phog Allen was forced to retire, due to age, after coaching only 11 games in the building that was named in his honor. Assistant Dick Harp led the Jayhawks for the next eight seasons, coaching arguably the best player in Kansas and basketball history, Wilt Chamberlain.
After Chamberlain's departure, Kansas had several down seasons that prompted the second coaching change of the decade. Ted Owens was hired and would lead Kansas for the next 19 seasons, becoming the second longest tenured men's coach in Jayhawk history. The Jayhawks' record at Allen Fieldhouse in its first decade was 60-31. Phog Allen had dreamt of an arena that would give Kansas a devastating home court advantage, and though Kansas' dominance wasn't quite established during its first decade, Allen knew that the best was yet to come. $\star$

KU Tops Cats, 77-67
By SAM JONES
Kansas Sports Writer
With a rumble and a roar, the Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats from K-State 77-67 last night in the opening contest on the court of Allen fieldhouse.
THE LAST HURRAH—Wilt Chamberlain rubs his hands in satisfaction a moment after ramming through one of his 20 field goals of the evening against Northwestern Monday night. It contributed to a record-breaking 52-point barrage by Chamberlain. Northwestern's Phil Warren turns away in dismay, while KU's Gene Elstun (12) seems much happier about the proceedings.

This was Witt's debut as a Jayhawk. He had averaged 37 points a game in high school and Kansas fans were eagerly awaiting his performance. They had seen him during the freshman-versus-varsity scrimmage.
Fifteen-thousand fans crammed into the fieldhouse to watch Wilt score 52 points and 31 rebounds, setting an all-time record.
Remember, Kansas was just four seasons past its 1952 National Championship. People thought this was going to be it; they thought Wilt was going to take the Jayhawks back to the title game.

KU's track and field team continued its unbeaten record in dual meets this year by gaining a surprisingly easy 67-37 victory over Oklahoma A&M in Allen Field House Saturday night. The Jaybusiness dressing room was set a Saturday night follow-up by the dayhawkers' record-breaking over the comBUckkers. The dayhawkers seemed to feel made up, in part, for the early order to Lauren State. They felt a touch tonight meant an awkward time said the men out on performance, and definitely Palmieri commented that he was glad to not turn out the way it did. But they said there would be added "going to help us a lot," according to what we needed. It will be a fine compliment, but a fine club club and a fine go to have to play.

WELCOME TO
1965 TO 1975
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT AND JACK WEINSTEIN
For Allen Fieldhouse, the years 1965-1975 were filled with historic moments. The homecourt dominance that Phog
Allen had dream of was finally established, though Ted Owens-led teams finished below .500 twice, in 1971-1972 and 1972-1973. But Owens did lead teams to three perfect seasons in the fieldhouse in 1965-1966, and back-to-back seasons 1969-1970 and 1970-1971. Players such as Walt Wesley, Jo Jo White, Dave Robisch and Bud Stallworth all graced the fieldhouse during this time. All four were rewarded for their accomplishments by later having their jerseys honored and hung in the rafters.
On Feb. 12, 1966, the Nebraska Cornhuskers visited Lawrence to take on the Jayhawks. The victors would receive the Big Eight Championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, while the losers would have to hang their heads and look forward to next year. At the time, the NCAA Tournament did not have at-large bids, and only the conference champion was eligible for a shot at the national title. Some Jayhawk fans were calling it the biggest regular season game in Kansas basketball history. Coach Ted Owens and his players did not disappoint the Jayhawk faithful, running the 'Huskers out of the building and winning 110-73 on their way to the NCAA Tournament.
In addition to basketball, the fieldhouse hosted numerous other events. Singer Robert Goulet performed at the fieldhouse. He had led homecoming cheers earlier that day at Memorial Stadium in Kansas' victory against Kansas State. Other musical acts such as Louis Armstrong, Ike and Tina Turner, Elton John, the Beach Boys and Sonny and Cher performed at the fieldhouse during this decade. In March 1966, Kansas hosted the Big Eight Gymnastics Championships. In 1967, Jim
Rynn broke the indoor track half-mile record. Shortly after his 1968 presidential nomination, Robert Kennedy gave a speech in the fieldhouse to an over-capacity crowd of 20,000. The crowd was the largest in fieldhouse history.
On Feb.1, 1969, having arrived at midseason as a sophomore in 1966, JoJo White had exhausted his eligibility and played in his final game as a Jayhawk. White scored 30 points in front of 17,000 fans in an 80-70 victory against Colorado. It was also the 100th career coaching victory for Ted Owens.
Two nights later, Kansas reached another milestone with its 1,000th victory in school history in a 64-48 victory against Oklahoma State.
The 1970-1971 season was a magical year for the Jayhawks. They finished with a 27-3 record, including 14-0 in the fieldhouse. Led by senior Dave Robisch and junior Bud Stallworth, Kansas won the Big Eight Conference and advanced to the Final Four, eventually losing to UCLA in the national semifinals.
On Feb. 26, 1972, the 1952 National Championship team was on hand for its 20th anniversary celebration. It was also the final game for Stallworth. Mizzou couldn't handle Stallworth, as he contributed 50 points in the 93-80 victory. His career high marked the highest point total scored in a conference game and the second highest point total by a Jayhawk in Allen Fieldhouse, behind Wilt Chamberlain's 52 in 1956.
In 1973, Marian Washington was hired as women's basketball coach and started building her team.
Ted Owens' teams had a turbulent decade from 1965-1975, but that didn't stop them from dominating inside Allen Fieldhouse. Owens-led squads finished with a 105-20 record in the fieldhouse during that span. The home-court advantage had been established, and few visiting teams would win inside the fieldhouse in the coming years.

MAX'S MEMORIES
The Jayhawks didn't have a great year in 1972. They didn't make it to the tourney. Their last game of the season was against the hated Missouri Tigers, and it was Bud Stallworth's last game for Kansas. He scored 50 points, making him the highest-scoring player next to Wilt. Bud's mom had never seen him play, and she came all the way from Atlanta. It was the only time she got to see him play. Back in that time, they didn't have the three-point line, but out of the 19 baskets Stallworth made, 10 of them came from what would have been three-point range. That would have given him more points than Wilt's record, so some people think that Bud is really the record holder for most points in a game.

Owens takes career victory No.300 in Jayhawks' second game of 1980
Walter Wesley, Dave Rothsch and Bud Stallwarth.
"Owens, in his 17th year as head coach of the KU basketball team, has compiled a 300-144 record at the University of Kansas. His stint as Jayhawk coach is second only to that of the late F.C. Allen ..."
01.19.1981
The mid- to late-1970s represented a tumultuous period for Kansas basketball, with losing seasons entwined with winning campaigns, but the Jayhawks rarely lost at Allen Fieldhouse. From 1975-1985, that trusted homecourt advantage was revealed by the 113-25 record.
The basketball men were not the only talented team in the fieldhouse. The women's team was building a strong program during the mid-1970s. By 1975, coach Marian Washington had been in charge of women's basketball for two years. Washington also doubled as women's Athletics Director in the late 1970s. At this time, in 1977, the KU Hall of Fame debuted to fans when the center court circle was moved to the east lobby of the fieldhouse. Trophy cases and portraits of KU greats were later added.
It was under coach Washington's reign that the great Lynette Woodard graced the floor of Allen Fieldhouse. While completely revamping the expectations of women's basketball at the University of Kansas, Woodard set impressive records on her home court. On Jan. 28, 1978, she set the women's rebounding record for Allen Fieldhouse when she grabbed 33 against rival Kansas State. She set another fieldhouse record on Feb. 10, 1979, scoring 49 points in one game. Woodard would later set the all-time scoring mark for women's college basketball inside the fieldhouse.
The start of the 1980s kicked off yet another successful season for the Jayhawk women, led by Washington and Woodard. On March 12, 1980, the fieldhouse saw its first women's postseason game. Both Washington and Woodard would go on to have incredibly impressive careers as Kansas Jayhawks, but rarely had the luck they had when playing in the cathedral of college basketball.
It was during the early 1980s that Allen Fieldhouse was first introduced to a present-day Kansas basketball icon. On Jan. 16, 1982, Oklahoma State made the trek to Lawrence. This was the first time Bill Self stepped onto the fieldhouse court as a player. The Jayhawks defeated the Cowboys 77-72, with Self contributing 14 points off the bench for Oklahoma State.
The end of that season saw the exit of coach Ted Owens, who was replaced by Larry Brown. In Owens' 19 seasons as the leader in the Phog, he accumulated a 348-182 career record and a 206-47 record at home. Owens-led Kansas teams won six Big Eight titles and appeared in two Final Fours.
In November 1983, the fieldhouse went on display nationwide, but not for a game. An ABC made-for-television movie, "The Day After," was shot in Lawrence, and the fieldhouse served as a makeshift hospital, put together for victims of a nuclear explosion, which was the premise of the movie.
Only two years later, the building would once again go through changes, although not as drastic. The fieldhouse would no longer house track or wrestling, as the indoor track around the basketball court was removed in September 1985.
During the same time, the home of basketball would endure seating renovations and the addition of permanent concession stands. The 30-year-old wooden bleachers that came brand new with the opening of the fieldhouse were replaced with metal ones.
Lawrence High star Danny Manning joined Brown's team in the 1984-1985 season, the beginning of many great years they would have together. Also making its debut this season were the ever-faithful Jayhawk student campers, who started casting their claims round-the-clock for the best seats in the house. $\star$

Allen concert causes concern
By COURTNEY THOMPSON
Durages to Alen Field House during last Saturday's Leon Russell concert, have caused the University of Kansas athletic department having such events in the field house.
Derry Waugh, assistant artistic director, and partner that the damage was more severe than expected, estimated the damages. He made calculations in the new track and on the handbag.
"We expect lots of dirt after a concert, but this time we get even more. Cough-up, cleanse barn—so name it, we've got it," Waugh said.

1985 TO 1995 BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS AND JACK WEINSTEIN
1985 1995
The 1985-1995 years brought many new traditions to Kansas basketball and Allen Fieldhouse. Among them
The year 1988 is significant for several more reasons in Jayhawk lore. The second-longest homecourt winning streak in school history was broken. The 55-game streak was stopped by Kansas State, led by Mitch Richmond's 35 points. Duke and Oklahoma also defeated Kansas in the fieldhouse that same year, giving seniors Danny Manning and Chris Piper the only losses on their home court. "Danny and the Miracles" would later average the losses
The creation of traditions was rampant in the late 1980s. The banner that hangs in the south end of the fieldhouse reading "Pay Heed, All Who Enter: Beware of 'The Phog' was created by a team of students working on a canvas of 10 stolen shower curtains from McCollum Hall in 1988. They finished painting the sign in time for the Feb. 20 game against Duke. Kansas has amassed a 215-19 record at the fieldhouse since the sign was hung.
was "Late Night with Larry", the first practice of the season. A crowd of 6,000 was in attendance to witness the inaugural event. The "Late Night" concept had actually been around since the 1955-1956 season, when Phog Allen's freshman team had squared off against the varsity squad. The first practice had been open to the public periodically until Late Night's official start in 1985.
In the mid-1990s, the Athletics Department changed the camping policies because it was worried about excessive electrical use and fires. Campers were then only required to be present at the fieldhouse from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., rather than all 24 hours of the day.
Camping also gained great acclaim during this decade, as student seats were in high demand because of the success of the program. Concerned about the students' safety in the cold winter months, Kansas officials rolled extension cords out for the students so they could plug in heaters. But instead of heaters, students hooked up televisions and Nintendos.
by beating those three teams en route to the National Championship.
On April 4, 1988, Larry Brown announced from Allen Fieldhouse that he would not leave to take the head coaching position at UCLA. Shortly after, amid controversy of NCAA recruiting sanctions, Brown left to coach the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. Brown was 135-4刃 in five seasons as coach of the Jayhawks, 71-5 in the fieldhouse, including three undefeated seasons from 1984-1985 through 1986-1987. His teams went to two Final Fours, winning the National Championship in 1988.
Athletics Director Bob Frederick hired North Carolina assistant Roy Williams. Williams' first victory in Allen Fieldhouse came Dec. 1, 1988. Kansas, led by 31 points from Mark Randall, beat Seattle 98-65. In Williams' first season, he led Kansas to a 19-12 record, including 10-4 in the fieldhouse. His teams would never lose more on their home court than they did in his first season.
First-year Kentucky coach Rick Pitino came to Lawrence on Dec. 9, 1989. With 31 points by Terry Brown, the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 150-95 in the highest scoring game in Allen Fieldhouse history.
While the fieldhouse's current scoreboard looks ancient by modern Jumborron standards, the box is just 14 years old. It was installed before the Jan. 16, 1991, game.
While jersey retirement ceremonies have become commonplace to current students, the honor began just before the 1992 season. The original class of seven inductees included Paul Endacott, Charles T. Black, Clyde Lovellette, B.H. Born, Wilt Chamberlain, Lynette Woodard and Danny Manning. Chamberlain was the only one of the original inductees who didn't have his jersey retirement celebration in 1992.
From 1985-1995, Kansas finished with a record of 136-14 at Allen Fieldhouse, which included four undefeated seasons. Williams won four Big Eight titles in his first six years and led Kansas to the Final Four in 1991 and 1993. Every season has been sold out in Allen Fieldhouse since the 1985-86 season. $\star$
December 9, 1989 Kansas vs. Kentucky
MAX'S MEMORIES
Kentucky and Kansas played regularly throughout the '70s but the series stopped in the early '80s. It was revived in the late 1980s, and the first match-up was between what would turn out to be two of the best coaches in college basketball. Rick Pitino was in his first year at Kentucky and Roy Williams was in his second year at Kansas.
At the end of the game, most of the Kentucky players had fouled out and Kentucky ran out of timeouts. When Kansas broke Kentucky's press and didn't have any timeouts left, Roy looked down the bench at Pitino and asked "Do you want me to call a timeout?" Pitino used some profanities and Roy didn't call the timeout. It was the most points that Kansas ever scored in one game.
Roy had some inexperienced players, like Terry Brown. We called him "Downtown Terry Brown" because in high school he had hit 12 three-pointers in one game. In this game, Kansas scored 80 points in the first half. The final score was 150-95. It was one of the most memorable games of the decade. The two teams set an NCAA record for most three-point attempts with 57.

'Hawk fans go wild for Roy's Boys Thousands greet team at Forbes and field house
By S. J. Bailey

Nearly 14,000 Jayhawk fans were dancing to the Fiat-Palomar Bossie Boxing Tour on Tuesday as the Kansas men's basketball team to return from its trivial weekend game.
An estimated 9,000 fans muzzled Fienclo Field in Tampa when the Jalopkins' charred plains touched back home in the Sanibel Island stockade.

For now, the Kansas women's basketball team can lay claim to early season Big Eight fights rights.
A Big Eight Conference record crowd of 13,532 watched the No. 12 Kansas women's basketball team pull out a 50-37 victory against No. 4 Colorado Sanders in Allen Field House.
Kansas coach Marvin Washington said the players were able to feed off the crowd's enthusiasm.

Jayhawks victorious in holiday hoops
Overtime thriller against Indiana highlights break
By Gerry Fey
Kansan sportswriter
Big Eight conference play, Kansas is 15-1 and ranked No. 5 by the Associated Press. The Jayhawks won all of their games during winter break, including the Golden Harvest Class and an overtime victory against Indithese people. "Williams said. It was a bugger. You hit everybody and don't care how sweaty they are." Williams said he wanted another overture to battle against his adversary, Indiana coach Bobby Knight. He said he respected Knight and wanted the game to continue.

First, Vaughn passed to senior Steve Woodberry who nailed a jump shot, giving Kansas 83-80 lead with 38.1 seconds left in overtime.

This was Jacque Vaughn's freshman year when Kansas played Indiana for the fourth time in four seasons. Roy had already beaten Indiana three times in three seasons. This was one of the most widely anticipated games of all time. The game went into overtime at the fieldhouse and Jacque hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the game 86-83.

Jacque Vaughn and Roy Williams embrace after Vaughn spoke to the sold-out crowd in Allen Field House.
The most recent decade in Allen Fieldhouse history has been one of the most historic, eventful and dominant. Many new additions were made to the fieldhouse during this period. Men's teams had their greatest homecourt advantage, going 135-7 in the 10-year period. They have enjoyed five undefeated seasons, including four straight, from 1994-1995 through 1997-1998.
A conference change affected Kansas basketball. Prior to the 1996-1997 season, the Big Eight Conference merged with Texas, Texas A&M, M Texas Tech and Baylor to compose the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas dominated both leagues by winning the final two Big Eight Championships. In 1995 the Jayhawks were 25-6, 14-0 in the fieldhouse, and in 1996 they finished 29-5, 13-0 in the fieldhouse. Kansas claimed the first two Big 12 Championships as well, in 1997 with a 34-2 record, 15-0 in the fieldhouse, and in 1998 going 35-4, 16-0 in the fieldhouse.
In the 1997 season opener, Kansas began its celebration of 100 years of Kansas basketball by dedicating the fieldhouse court to James Naismith on Nov. 14.
Nearly one month later, on Dec. 13, Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Phog Allen's son Bob unveiled a statue that would commemorate and honor his father, arguably the first great coach in all of college basketball's history.
In December 1998, Iowa brought Kansas' longest home court winning streak to an end. After 62 straight fieldhouse victories, Iowa defeated Kansas, 85-81, giving the Jayhawks their first home loss since 1993.
Wilt Chamberlain finally returned to Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 17, 1998, to have his jersey officially retired after having been chosen for the inaugural class in 1992. Chamberlain, adorned in his original letter jacket, gave an emotional speech to a packaged house of 16,300 at halftime of the Kansas-Kansas State game. Kansas won the contest 69-62. Chamberlain remained on Naismith Court for two hours after the game to sign autographs.
On Feb. 8, 1998, KU fans, players and coaches celebrated 100 years of Kansas basketball with 270 former players and coaches with an 80-70 victory against Missouri. Members of Kansas' 10 Final Four teams were honored during time-outs. Kirk Hinrich led Kansas in a 99-56 victory against Washburn on Nov. 25, 2000, scoring 22 points. The game marked the 500th victory in Allen Fieldhouse history.
Tameka Dixon, who played from 1994-1997, and Angela Aycock, from 1992-1995, became the second and third women to have
their jerseys retired in Allen Fieldhouse.
March 1, 2003, marked the final game for the great Jayhawk senior duo of Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich. Kansas beat Oklahoma State 79-61. That Senior Day game would be the last coached by Roy Williams in the fieldhouse. Williams finished with a 418-101 record in 15 seasons as the Kansas coach. He compiled an amazing 201-17 record at Allen Fieldhouse. Williams' teams won nine conference titles and competed in four Final Fours. He is the second winningest coach in Kansas basketball history, behind Allen. Williams left Kansas and returned to coach his alma mater, North Carolina.
In 2003, Bill Self was considered one of the hottest young coaches in the country. He had guided a struggling Oral Roberts team from its worst season in school history to an NIT berth in 1996-1997, just four seasons after being hired. At Tulsa, Self led the Golden Hurricane to an Elite Eight appearance in his third season as coach in 2000, a year in which his team finished 32-5. Self was voted National Coach of the Year that season by "The Sporting News." In three years at Illinois, he led the Illini to consecutive Big Ten regular season titles and a 2001 Elite Eight appearance. Self was Kansas' first choice to follow Williams, and was hired shortly after his departure. In Self's first victory in Allen Fieldhouse, Keith Langford all scores to defeat Tennessee-Chattanooga 90-76 on Nov. 21, 2003.
Marian Washington took a leave of absence during the 2004 women's basketball season. She retired in February after coaching for 31 years in Allen Fieldhouse. Washington compiled a 559-356 record at Kansas, including seven conference titles and 11 NCAA Tournament appearances. Legendary Jayhawk Lynette Woodard replaced Washington on an interim basis to finish the season. Washington was honored in a pregame ceremony on Feb. 28, 2004. Bonnie Henrickson of Virginia Tech was hired as a permanent replacement on March 29, 2004.
The decade of 1995-2005 has easily been one of the best in Kansas basketball history. Kansas was blessed with some of the greatest Jayhawk players ever, seeing the likes of Paul Pierce, Raef LaFrentz, Nick Collison, Jacque Vaughn and Drew Gooden, all of whom now have their jerseys hanging from the fieldhouse rafters. The current senior class of Keith Langford, Michael Lee, Aaron Miles and Wayne Simien has reached consecutive Final Fours and an Elite Eight in their time in Lawrence.

Prior to the 2004-2005 season, Kansas compiled a 551-101 record in Allen Fieldhouse, including 13 undefeated seasons. Eighteen conference champion teams have played on the fieldhouse courts, as well as nine Final Four squads and one National Championship team. Kansas has one of the most intimidating environments for opposing players, with fans who are more knowledgeable and passionate than anywhere in the country. Allen Fieldhouse is the house that Phog built, a place he envisioned as a dominant home for one of the greatest teams in college basketball history. $\star$

This was at the conclusion of a weekend when all of the national media was at the fieldhouse. Kansas had been blown out by Arizona on Saturday, and the following Monday, Texas came to Lawrence with the Big 12 Conference Championship on the line. Kansas seniors Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich combined for more than half of Kansas' points in the 91-74 victory. Collison had 24 points and 23 rebounds. When he fouled out of the game late in the second half, Dick Vitale stood up on national television and gave him a standing ovation.

This was the most memorable senior night that I can remember. It was Nick and Kirk's final game at the fieldhouse. Kansas and Oklahoma State were playing. Eddie Sutton, who I think a great deal of, did something that I will never forget. The game was out of control; Kansas had a big lead. But before the game was over, Eddie left the OSU bench and walked down to the Kansas bench to shake hands with Nick and Kirk to indicate that he was proud of those two seniors, though they beat the Cowboys, 79-61. We didn't know it, but that would be Roy's last game at Allen Fieldhouse.

There is a house in Lawrence that hosts parties so monumental and so physical that its wooden floors are in constant need of repair. The owners of this three-story house routinely invite 16,300 screaming fanatics through their doors, but allow only 10 guests to walk on the floor at a time.
Why are these Lawrence homeowners so protective of their floor?
The answer is that this 50-year-old house is not an ordinary dwelling, but is the legendary Allen Fieldhouse. Its residents are not only basketball players, coaches, fans and students, but also memories and traditions of one of the most storied college hoops programs in the history of the game.
Some even believe that the soul of college basketball resides in the building named after legendary Jayhawk Phog Allen and permeates through the court labeled after basketball's creator, James Naismith.
During games, the aura of the fieldhouse seemingly wills the Jayhawks to victory and produces an atmosphere unmached in college basketball.
It is this sense of mysticism that makes Allen Fieldhouse's base not just a floor, but the floor.
Every tweak and modification to the floor is the topic of heated debate among Kansas faithful.
Whenever the floor is redone, legions of Jayhawk fans bid on the pieces of the old floor, because every chunk of wood is not simply wood, but a small part of Kansas basketball history.
Fascination with the aging fieldhouse's ground floor is nothing new, though.
Since the building's inception at the Kansas-Kansas State men's basketball game on March 1, 1955, the fieldhouse has been a magnet for attention. An overflow crowd of
17. 228 flooded Phog Allen's house to see the debut of his namesake and came away satisfied with a 77-66 Jawayk victory. Given that there were no restrictions against larger-than-capacity attendance, that crowd stands as the largest attendance total for a basketball game in Kansas history. Fifty years later, the drawing power is just as potent.
Through the past five decades, the overall structure of the fieldhouse has remained relatively unchanged, but the floor has tailored its look to adapt to the changing personality of Kansas basketball.
The rugged early years of Allen, which endured home records of 5-5, 1-9 and 5-6, follow suit with the dirt floor that lies below its hardwood court.
Before a synthetic floor replaced its soil predecessor, the bare dirt underneath the wood occasionally impeded 1950s and 1960s teams. Prior to and immediately following each competition, the portable wood floor would have to be put up and taken down.
Practice time was also wasted when dealing with the issue of dirt in an indoor athletics facility.
After watering the surface in the early part of the day, the fieldhouse was effectively rendered useless to all athletic teams until the late afternoon.
"Now, the morning is wasted because they have to wet the dirt down so it won't be too dusty to play basketball or too wet to run around the track," Athletics Director Wade Stinson told The University Daily Kansas in 1972.
One solution introduced in 1972 to the dusty fieldhouse was the resurfacing of the ground with a Tartan synthetic layer, but the possibility drew controversy.
As competing conference schools, including Colorado, installed the Tartan floor, a debate about the safety and stability of the floor arose. Ted Owens, Kansas' coach from 1964 to 1983, favored the new flooring, but funding presented another roadblock.
A total of $380,000 would be needed to fund the improvements, but the cash-strapped athletics department was already in the midst of repaying loans for the expansion of Memorial Stadium. Eventually, a student referendum to take care of the expenses was passed, and both the Board of Regents and student fees paid for the Tartan flooring.
With a new foundation for the court, Kansas basketball was ready to move on, but not without its heritage.
In 1974, the original wooden floor was torn out from the fieldhouse to make room for

the new synthetic variety, which was installed in the spring. By 1976, the historic hardwood was auctioned off to the community.
Initially, the entire floor was put up for sale, but that action was quickly opposed because of the sentimental attachment to the large "K" that was previously located at midcourt. To the Jayhawk faithful, selling the hallmark of their floor, which had seen every play of Allen Fieldhouse, seemed to be tantamount to sacrilege. Protections instantly cropped up to save the 17-foot-7-inch by 18-foot-1-inch piece from being delivered to the highest bolder. Again, the fieldhouse floor represented much more than just a floor. It was a symbol.
Both the student body president and the University Senate Executive Committee chairman responded to the potential sale of center court by delivering a scathing letter to the editor that was published in the Feb. 2, 1976, edition of the Kaman. The students compared the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation to moneychangers, charged it with desecration of the University's basketball temple and accused it of ignoring Kansas tradition.
Chancellor Archie Dykes agreed and moved to keep the "K" piece on campus.
"That floor belongs to all those people who put something into it and seemingly should never be auctioned off like a rusty old car," a student senate spokesman said in 1976.
"That center circle is an important part of our basketball heritage and we feel it is appropriate to keep it at the University."
Not only was Dykes' promise that the centerpiece remain on campus kept, but the piece did not leave the fieldhouse. It is currently on the floor of the trophy collection on the east side of the building. The remaining pieces of the floor sold for $25 for a 4-by-4 foot square and$ 50 for a 4-by-8 foot square.
Drama and change did not end in 1976, though, as the story of Allen Fieldhouse continued to develop.
By 1979, just five years after installing the polyurethane floor, Kansas purchased a wooden floor to go over the concrete base. The newest edition would last until 1992, when the wear and tear of big-time basketball would necessitate another renovation.
Again, with the influax of a fresh floor, members of the Jayhawk nation were able to buy up a piece of their beloved Allen Fieldhouse. The list of shoppers for the 1979 floor did not just include fans, but former coaches also reached out to take away a part of the Jayhawk lore.
Former men's coach Larry Brown, whose tenure lasted from 1984-1988, and his assistant R.C. Buford realized the significance of the floor to the program's legacy and tried to secure a part of it for the players they had coached. Brown and Buford wanted to purchase a piece of the floor for every player that played for them at Kansas.
prince
"When Larry and I heard they would be breaking up the floor, we wanted to make sure all the players that played under us each got a piece," Bufford told the *Kansas* in 1992. "Those players gave us a lot of great memories
in the fieldhouse and on that court. They deserve to have a piece as much as or more than anyone else."
Portions of the 1979 floor, which went on sale to the public in 1992, were prier than their forerunners, going at $100 for a square-foot piece. The athletics department made$ 150,000 off the sale of the floor, which in turn was put toward other athletics projects.
The 1992 floor gave the Jayhawks' home a new look that included a permanent floor and a better practice facility, but the image change would touch off a debate that rages to this day.
As D.W. Acker, graphics designer for the athletics department, discussed the possible plans for the new floor, then-coach Roy Williams and then-Athletics Director Bob Frederick fired in their input. Slowly, Acker's rough pencil sketches were transformed into the newest incarnation of the fieldhouse floor.
Hoping to raise awareness of the state, a yellow representation of Kansas was placed at center court, with a white star marking Lawrence's location on the map. The star would later be replaced with a Jayhawk to denote the campus' hometown. Yellow, Acker was chosen, said to correspond with the state's cultural symbols of the yellow brick road, corn and wheat.
Kansas basketball remained a top power through the 1990s, under the def guidance of Roy Williams, and the court stayed in stride the whole way. Prior to the 1997-1998 season, Acker added more color to the centerpiece to give it more authority. In the ensuing campaign, Kansas stunned boldly through the Big 12 Conference with only one loss, finishing 35-4 and earning a No. 2 ranking.
Roy Williams' years at Kansas were numbered, as were those of the state's stay at center court.
The departure of Williams following the 2002-2003 season ushered in the era of Bill Self. As the new front man of Kansas basketball, Self sought to establish a reputation for his newly acquired program and saw the fieldhouse floor as the ground level for change.
To replace the state of Kansas map that previously adorned midcourt, an enormous 25-foot-6-inch Jayhawk now stares down each game's 16,300 spectators.
Arguments quickly followed the addition of the oversized Jayhawk, and the campus was again ablaze in debate. Was the Jayhawk too big? Would the size really contribute to the University's television recognition? These questions are still open for argument.
As it stands, the monstrous mascot, for better or for worse, is part of Allen Fieldhouse. Ten years from now, it will most likely be completely different. Times change, and so does the face of Kansas basketball, but one thing will remain constant in the realm of Lawrence.
Even after 50 years, Jayhawk fans have proven they will always be floored by Allen Fieldhouse. $\star$

Fred Plank tightly grips the red rail to his right as he trudges up the stairs to the second floor of Allen Fieldhouse. He doesn't walk slowly, but he does walk carefully. At 85, you have to be careful.
He sits in section one, row one, seat 15, in the second tier of the north student section. Since 1958, Plank has been to nearly a thousand games, but he has never sat in this or any other seat. He moves his hands to either side of his body, gripping the edge of the red bleacher for support.
He talks in a pleasant Midwestern voice. One story leads to another, and as he speaks he glances around the empty fieldhouse, occasionally pointing to a section for clarification as to where some event occurred.
A white banner reading "Pay Heed, All Who Enter. Beware of the Phog" looms over his right shoulder. Lists of pass All-Americans, Olympians, Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame members and Academic All-Americans hang on blue, crimson and white banners below. Legendary names are inscribed on them: Wilt Chamberlain, Jo JO White, Raef LaFrentz, Darnell Valentine, Walt Wesley and many others. Plank saw most of them play.

Plank worked as an event staff member at Kansas men's basketball, football, baseball and truck events for 46 years, until Crowd Systems Inc. took over the handling of Kansas ushers
from Manpower Inc. earlier this season.
A few young men dressed in polo shirts and khakis briskly walk back and forth to all ends of the court below, shouting to each other and into walkie-talkies. They seem to be testing a piercing alarm that keeps going off. They pay no attention to the old man up in the stands.
Plank still has plenty of friends in Allen Fieldhouse, old and young. He still has Mary, his wife of nearly 60 years, and their two children. He also has memories. After nearly a half-century, Plank is a walking Kansas sports encyclopedia.
He remembers budding under the announcer's stand for shelter from a downpour with Jim Ryun at the KU Relays. He remembers working all night at Memorial Stadium with former track coach Bill Easton to dry the cinder track following a heavy rain the night before the KU Relays.
"We were about ready to start the races the next day at eight o'clock," he says. "They got lined up, and it opened up and poured again, leaving about two inches of water on the track."
Mostly, his memories are from the building he's in. While he's raking, he frequently smiles. He has a big, majestic smile. The corners of his eyes wrinkle and he accompanies it with a low, easy laugh. Fred Plank

is famous for his smile. Ask almost anyone in Allen Fieldhouse.
Holding onto the bleachers, with the overhead lights glaring off his large bifocals, Plank sheds 46-plus years. He was 39 years old in the fall of 1958. A dirt track enriched the court, resting under the courtside bleachers during basketball games. Tickets were cheap.
"When I first started, I think as long as it wasn't reserved seats, you could probably by a ticket for five bucks," he says.
Forty years later a man would offer him $100 just to get into Late Night after the doors had closed. "He didn't eat in," says Plank.
Plank was more than a decade removed from his two-and-a-half years of service in World War II. Returning home, he bought an appliance store in Baldwin City and named it Baldwin Appliance. He and Mary spent much of their time chasing their two children, Tom and Susan, around the house. He and some buddies formed a bowling team in a Lawrence league. One of the men on the team was LeRoy "Sarge" Morgison, the sergeant major of ROTC at the University of Kansas. As chance would have it, Morgison was also the man in charge of ushers and parking at Allen Fieldhouse.
Morgison asked Plank if he wanted to volunteer as an usher and Plank, having been raised on Phog Allen basketball in Garden City, Mo., said. "You bet."
When he showed up for his first basketball game, a former assistant to Phog Allen, Dick Harp, coached the team. There was no threepoint line, and the arena was newly constructed and considered enormous.
"When it was built, it was a landmark, actually," Plank says. "It was one of the finest in the nation."
The 1950s gave way to the 1960s, and student unrest was spreading through campus Plank points to the west reserved seats, where he remembers a group of hostile students who wouldn't get up for the rightful ticket holders in the late 1960s. It was a time when songs of protest filled the air, activists more concerned with social issues than basketball protested even within the stands of the fieldhouse, and victorious teams coached by Ted Owens provided the entertainment.
Many of Plank's most vivid memories spring from this decade. His job was to help ushers out with any problems they had. And trouble with the fans occurred often.
"They were protesting a little bit of everything," he says.
Plank recalls an incident at the KU Relays in the late 1960s.
He was working during the meet when a mob of 5,000 protestors suddenly descended from Campanile hill on the south side of Memorial Stadium, marching toward the meet,

apparently aiming to disrupt it. The meet director, afraid that sending police would fuel their fire, sent Plank alone to stop them.
Coincidentally, Plank knew the leader of the protesters. He told him that if they would control themselves, he would let them march around the track during the afternoon intermission. The group's leader announced this to the protesters, and they cheered wildly.
"They were very well-behaved," he says. "I let them in, directed them around the track, they walked around and walked right back out with no trouble at all."
"It was a strain on the knees, and if you fell on that thing you got skinned up," he says.
The alarm suddenly goes off again in the fieldhouse, and on the court two of the young men in polo shirts gesture to each other while another shouts into his cell phone. Plank gazes down to the big Jayhawk on the center of the court.
"At one time that was an artificial floor like they have on the track now," he says.
In 1974 a synthetic floor was put in, but it would only last through 1979. It was a bad idea.
In the 1972-1973 season, the Jayhawks lost 18 games, winning only eight. But the next year they miraculously went 23-7, including 13-1 in the Big Eight Conference, winning the conference championship, a testament to Ted Owens' resilience.
Plank became acquainted with Owens. He also got to know one of Owens' longtime assistants, Sam Miranda.
"He was more outgoing than Ted," he says. "Ted was very professional. He talked basketball all the time. Sam had more diverse interests than just straight basketball."
About this time, Kansas outsourced its events staffing to a company called Manpower, and Plank started getting paid. Up until then he had worked for free, receiving two tickets to all football and basketball games as compensation, which he often gave to his wife and son.
Back in Baldwin City, he sold his appliance store and started carrying a rural mail route for the U.S. Postal Service, which he would do for the next 20 years.
After the 1982-1983 season, Ted Owens was controversially fired following a decade of up-and-down seasons, and a new coach by the name of Larry Brown took over.
The 1980s was also a time of change for Plank, who by then was in his mid-60s. Plank's job shifted to checking in members of the media as they came through the door and handing them their media passes. During the game he watched their equipment. Afterward he would check credentials as they headed into the postgame press conference.
into his postgame into With his new job in the fieldhouse, Plank wasn't able to see as much of the games. But one perk of the job was becoming acquainted with some media personalities who were, well, interesting.
He remembers an encounter with a reporter from ESPN named Dick Vitale. A Lawrence news station had asked to do an interview with "Dickie V" after a game he was there to announce.
Plank set up the interview in a hallway of the fieldhouse and says Vitalite was shouting so much that the microphones in other press interviews picked up his voice.
"He was so loud that I had to ask him to quiet down," Plank says. He recalls Vitale saying, "That's my personality," to which he responded, "I know it is."
Plank also got to know legendary Kansas radio announcer Max Falkenstein, his counterpart Bob Davis and *Toppea Capital* Journal executive editor Pete Goering.
More changes would be made throughout the years. Starting last spring, Plank was required to wear khakis, a white burton-down shirt and a red sweater vest, instead of the sports coat and tie he had always worn.
always wore
The times changed, but Plank remained a fixture and somewhat of a reminder of bygone days. Everybody knew him.
"Oh, yeah, Fred," says Debbie Luman, track office administrative assistant. "I just know him as Fred. He's just one of those friendly faces."
"He has such a nice smile, and he likes to visit with people," says Louise Ecord, Williams Fund administrative assistant.
Earlier that day while walking to the fieldhouse court, Plank paused to talk to a young woman at the front desk of the media relations office. "It's working with people like her that keeps me feeling young," he says with a grin.
Plank's sense of humor is evident after more than an hour of sitting in the bleachers. He is aked to have his picture taken, to which

he smiles his smile and says, "I hope I don't break the camera."
He doesn't want to sit back down. His back is stiff.
"Are we about through?" he asks.
Plank walks carefully back down the steps gripping the rail. He isn't going to leave the building until he has finished making his rounds, visiting old friends. He often comes back to the place when he has business in Lawrence.
When Crowd Systems took over Kansas events management this season. Plank was simply told he was no longer under contract one day, and it was over. No party. No cake. Just an old man sent home with his memories
"I don't know what the situation was," he says. "Whether I'm too old or what, they did not contact me."
Ask him if he misses it and he has no reservations. "Definitely," he says, laughing. "It got to be a habit, actually."
To many, including members of the press and Jayhawk sports community, Plank's presence meant something. To them he was the words on the statue of Phog Allen — the part people may stop to glance at but don't really digest.
Track coach Stanley Redwine has seen Plank throughout the last four-and-a-half years from his office in the fieldhouse and at the annual KU Relays.
They would see him around, say “hi” and make small talk, even if they didn’t really get to know him. In fact, if you say his name, they might ask, “who?” But it’s the image of his smile that makes them remember.
"O yeah, I know who he is." Redwine says. "It seems like he works every event."
Max Falkenstien recalls the 20 years Plank greeted him at the door when he checked into the media room.
"I didn't really know Fred that well, but he knew I liked to play golf and I knew he liked to ask golf," Falkenstein says. "He always asked me whether I'd played, no matter what the weather was like, whether it was 10 degrees or 70 degrees."
Those who worked with Plank more closely say he was more than just a friendly face and a warm smile. They say the old gentleman was what Kansas sports was all about for 46 years.
Jim Porter puts it best, because he knows Plank best. Porter was on the bowling team way back when with Plank and Sarge Morgison. He is the custodian manager in the house, where he has worked for 18 years. He's an older man with somewhat of a gruff voice, but mention Plank, and he turns to jelly.
"You look at Allen Fieldhouse and you look at Kansas basketball, and it's about traditions and great people," says Doug Vance, who served as the Assistant Athletes Director for media relations for 20 years. "Fred fit that mold. He was always one of the first people to arrive and I always wanted to take the time to talk to him."
"He was always willing to help anybody at any time," he says. "He was willing to work weird hours. He did the jobs no one else was willing to do. He's just one of the nicest gentlemen you'd ever want to meet." ★

ASSEMBLING
ON ITS GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY,
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
INTRODUCTION AND CONCLUSION BY ALISSA BAUER
There is no explaining, no describing a place like Allen Fieldhouse. 'The reasons are endless. Maybe Allen Fieldhouse is not simply where games are watched and won or lost. It is possible that the "Phog" is more of an aura than a weathered building.
The happenings these walls have are many of the same that have occurred in other stadiums and sports venues across the country. But if this is true, why is it that one trip into Allen Fieldhouse, to watch just one game, holds on to the observer forever? Millions of Kansas fans have poured into the cathedral of college basketball to see their beloved Jayhawks in action. But so does every other fan for any other sport, so what's the big deal?
The answer is simple. The University of Kansas gave us the inventor of basketball in James Naismith and the "Father of Basketball Coaching" in Phog Allen. The University of Kansas is basketball, and Allen Fieldhouse is its home. There is no explanation more clear and no reason more pure.
When Allen Fieldhouse was built, some thought it a crazy idea. A 17,000-seat arena — in an era when basketball was just in its adolescence — seemed excessive. But 50 years later, the venue is undensified, considering the enormous popularity of Kansas basketball. It is likely that the fieldhouse could sell out a 25,000-seat venue every game.
ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
But Allen Fieldhouse almost never happened. It took nearly 30 years from when it was envisioned for it to finally open. In October
1927. Phog Allen first proposed that a field house be built. At that time, Allen was both the Athletics Director and the basketball coach. At the same time Allen proposed a new arena, the Jayhaws were moving from Robinson Gymnasium to Hoch Auditorium, which is present-day Budig Hall.
"Hooh was called the 'House of Horrors' by all the people who came to play there," says Warren Corman, who assisted head architect Frank Johnson in the construction of Allen

ALLEN
THE FIELDHOUSE KEEPS CHANGING WITH THE TIMES
Fieldhouse. "It was not designed for basketball, it was designed for fine arts and theater."
The "House of Horrors" name originated from the floor at Hoch. It was too firm, and following games at Hoch, players were often unable to practice because of shin splints. But the Jayhawks thrived in their 29 years in the auditorium. They went an incredible 204-38, all with Allen.
Hoch seated only 3.800 people, with only up to one-third of the 9,000 students admitted at a time, which is why Allen suggested the construction of the new venue. When Allen made the proposal, committees were created to look for ways to make his dream a reality. One of the challenges was deciding what size the venue should be. But when the Depression hit in 1929, Allen's plans were put on hold until after World War II. On Oct.7, 1946, the Kansas Board of Regents suggested to Chancellor Deane Malott that he begin looking for a site for the fieldhouse.
In an article in The University Daily Kansan, Malott said that when Kansas did get a fieldhouse, "it should be a complete one, not just for basketball."
The fieldhouse was not just for basketball. It included a six-lane, 220-meter dirt track used for the men's and women's track teams, and the baseball and football teams held practices inside it. ROTC used it for inspection and drills. The University also used it for new-student enrollment and registration, for overflow offices and classrooms and as a backup for commencement ceremonies during inclement weather.
Frank Johnson, who worked in the state
architecture office, took the lead in designing the fieldhouse. He had designed Ahearn Field House at Kansas State just a few years prior. Johnson designed the new fieldhouse to look similar to the one at the University of Wisconsin, where Johnson had attended school. Johnson, after designing Ahearn, saw its flaws and wanted to improve on them with Kansas' new arena. He doubled the square footage, with wider concourses on two levels.
Allen insisted that the new fieldhouse hold more fans than Ahearn, which held 12,500. He initially suggested making the fieldhouse seat 20,000, but eventually it was negotiated down to 17,000. At that size the fieldhouse would be the second largest collegiate arena in the nation, behind the arena at the University of Minnesota, which held 18,250.
The state allotted $2.5 million for the fieldhouse, which translated to about 14 per square foot. Comparatively, opening in 2004, Mizzou Arena cost$ 75 million but seats about 1,000 fewer.
The creation of the fieldhouse began to take steps forward in the early 1950s. But the Korean War caused another setback, creating a moratorium on steel.
on every sheet," Corman said. "We had to go back through all those sheets and erase the ink." Because the fieldhouse would be contributing to the war effort, the project received the necessary permission.
A few members on the project were high-ranking officers in World War II and decided to go to Washington to attempt to get the authority to use steel, Corman said. The men decided to call it Fieldhouse and Armory, to clarify that the armed forces would also make use of the building.
"We changed all the drawings to call it Fieldhouse and Armory, and the name was
This was only half of the difficulty in getting steel for the fieldhouse. The other challenge was locating the steel. Many of the same men who went to Washington, as well as Athletics Director Dust Lomburg, visited
Allied Steel in Chicago.
Corman recalls that the meeting was not going well, and that Allied Steel was going to be unable to give them the steel. As the men were preparing to leave, the president of Allied Steel walked into the room and saw Lomburg.
"Ihe was quite an athlete at Northwestern University and had quite an athletic recognition throughout the country," Corman said about Lomburg.

Coincidentally, the head of Allied Steel had been roommates and fraternity brothers with Lomburg. He approved the deal, selling Kansas the steel it needed to build the fieldhouse.
The story of the fieldhouse would have been much different if Lomburg hadn't had his connections, Corman says. It would have taken a few more years to acquire the steel, and it would have been more expensive. As it went, the first piece of steel was placed in February of 1954.
Phog Allen had put Kansas basketball on the map, and when it came time to decide who the building should be named after, he was an automatic consideration. There was a long-standing tradition that University buildings not be named after living people, but the Board of Regents went against that custom by also deciding to name a building after former Chancellor Malott.
On Dec. 17, 1954, the official name of Allen Fieldhouse was announced.
To recount the naming, a 1954 University of Kansas Alumni Magazine reporter wrote, "Phog Allen, usually dependable for at least a column of quotes on any subject, had only 21 words to say when he received word that the new 2.5 million dollar building had been named in his honor.
'In this hour of great recognition of my services to the University of Kansas, I feel very unworthy and deeply grateful.'
When the 69-year old dean of American basketball coaches was pressed for further comment he said, 'A person just cannot realize what this honor is. I'm benumbed.'
Allen also thanked the Kansan and the student body for their efforts.
"I feel deeply grateful to the Kansan and to those who spontaneously added to the campaign," he said. The Kansan had informally campaigned that the fieldhouse be named in Allen's honor.
Just a few weeks later, on Jan. 6, 1955, it was announced that on March 1 Kansas State would play Kansas in the first game at Allen Fieldhouse. The anticipation for the opening of the second largest collegiate arena in the country grew. Hundreds of invitations were sent out to former Kansas basketball players to attend the event.
Allen Fieldhouse was a structural masterpiece. It consisted of 2,700 tons of structural steel, 700,000 bricks, 35 tons of paint to cover the walls, 11,625 tons of stone and
245,000 board feet of lumber just on the roof. There was enough concrete to build a two-foot wide sidewalk from Lawrence to Topeka, the Kansan reported.
The fieldhouse included what was then a state-of-the-art scoreboard. In the middle of the scoreboard was a picture of a Jayhawk that blinked its eyes every time Kansas scored. The blinking Jayhawk originated from an idea that Allen had when he saw an animated board at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The Kansas coaching staff also wanted the fieldhouse to be equipped with clocks behind each basket so that players did not have to look up while playing. The scoreboard was one of the first boards to tallie above 99 points, going as high as 199.
Game day finally arrived. The Eldridge Hotel was sold out the night of the game, as many out-of-town guests descended on Lawrence for the dedication. The Athletics Department sold tickets for $2, with a 25 cent service charge.
Allen spent many of the days leading up to the game greeting fans and well-wishers in his office in Robinson Gymnasium.
Allen insisted that the Jayhawks practice in the new arena for at least a few weeks before the first game against Kansas State. They practiced for the first time on Feb. 9, 1955, in the incomplete fieldhouse.
Students were allotted 6,000 tickets to the first game. The University needed the help of ROTC to serve as ushers to show where the boundaries of the student section were.
Students did not camp out for the game as they do for home games today, but some did arrive an hour and a half prior to tip-off. These students set the tone for the great atmosphere that is now a constant for basketball games at Allen Fieldhouse.
"It was a fascinating day, it was a great day." Corman said.
A pageant was planned for the game and occurred at halftime. The pageant required Allen to be present, so he decided in advance to let assistant Dick Harp coach the game.
"I don't know if that was a psychological move or what," Corman said. "They wanted to beat K-State for old Phog, I imagine."
"It was very crowded. Fire marshals wouldn't allow that today." Corman said.
The first game of the fieldhouse appropriately serves as the largest crowd to ever see a Kansas home basketball game, drawing 17.228.
During the halftime show, a history of basketball exhibition, including a scene depicting the invention of the game by Naismith, was performed, followed by a speech from Allen.

"I want to pay tribute to my basketball godfather, Dr. Naismith, a great benefactor and teacher of youth," Allen said.
He then went on to thank those who had played for the Jayhawks in the past, as 103 former letter winners attended the game.
"I've been a fortunate coach. This fieldhouse is not a tribute to the gods of victory but to all the men, past and present, who made this possible," Allen said. "I thank you all."
Allen received a new 1955 Cadillac at the dedication, paid for by donations from members of the Kansas City Alumni Association.
"I think you have got K-State outclassed," Harold Doberts, a man from Topea who attended the first game, told the Kansan during the game. Doberts claimed to be a neutral fan. "Every bit as good as expected."
Kansas won the game, 77-67, and won the first seven games in the new building.
Many teams have entered the fieldhouse to play the Jayhawks throughout the years.

he graduated from high school. "You don't just go to Allen Fieldhouse and suddenly become a Jayhawk," Hill says. "It takes a while." Hill began his work at the fieldhouse in 1982.
While the announcer has many memories from his courtside days, one emotional moment sticks in his mind. It was 1988, the year the Jayhawks won the National Championship, and the Jayhawks were facing Oklahoma. Archie Marshall had been out for the beginning of the season with a knee injury. Hill described Marshall's walk to the scorers' table in the middle of the game, with a brace on his knee.

"That was probably the most difficult introduction I have ever had to do." Hill said.

"I was overwhelmed, just absolutely overwhelmed," Hill said. "I thought, 'I'm only the announcer. I'm just a small dot in the field, please.' But they were so gracious; it still moves me to this day."
move him to this day.
Hill began his work as a public address announcer for Kansas football games and quickly recognized the devotion and knowledgeability of Jayhawk fans.
"I found out over the years that there was a great deal that I did not have to say because the fans at Allen Fieldhouse already knew it. If I could minimize my words, I could cut back on the verbage, which is what I wanted to do," Hill said. "At best the relationship is not through an announcer, the relationship is between the fans and the players directly, and as long as I could let that happen, that relationship, then I knew I was being successful, even if I hadn't said a word."
James Naismith is known as the "Father of Basketball." But Phog Allen, who considered Naismith his mentor, is known as the "Father of Basketball Coaching." Naismith didn't think the game could be coached. His actions transformed the game. Allen progressed the game in a way that was not even imagined during the first few decades of basketball.
during the first two decades,
"Allen had an inventive mind, and he was willing to take risks and try new things while men with less vision hung back and carped at him," wrote Joe McGruff, sports editor of The Kansas City Star, in a column the day after Allen passed away, Sept. 17, 1974.

anyone who ever教练 in The Denver Post. Jack Carberry, a sportswriter, said about Allen, "Everyone who reads the sports pages knows of 'Phog' Allen. It would be impossible to be unaware of him. For it is doubtful if there is a man today in the world of sports who has been so cussed and discussed; who is loved more, hated more; who is damned and who is praised more than this doctor of osteopathy
who, during the past 38 years, has made his home a synonym for the game he loves above all — basketball."
all — basketball.
People looked up to him, saw him as something bigger than just the game. An editorial writer in the *Topkea Daily Capital* wrote in 1974 that many people had asked Allen to run for governor, but he decided against it because he claimed he was too outspoken.
Ongoing changes are nothing new to Allen Fieldhouse. The women's locker-room was recently remodeled, and restrooms on the north side were expanded and remodeled. There are plans to clean the limestone on the exterior of the building and replace the windows, Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony says, but the highest priority is to replace the scoreboard, which has hung at midcourt since the early 1990s.
1990s. Like everything in this world, Allen Fieldhouse has seen its share of ups and downs. From bad seasons to miracle seasons, nuclear warfare movies to the acquisition of faithful Jayhawk campers, the Phog will always have that special something, something one cannot explain using words alone, or even put a finger on just the right meaning. Some of us will have no idea what the true magic of the building is. Maybe those who know it best — the players, the coaches, the faithfuls — will someday let us in on this magical mystery that sits among us everyday.

Until that time, enjoy and cherish your own experiences within the walls of Allen Fieldhouse. Magic can be appreciated at any age, and one can always "Beware of the Phog." ★

Teams respond to free agency
Wide receiver David Terrell, the eighth pick in the 2001 draft, was released by the Chicago Bears as NFL teams prepared for the start of free agency tomorrow by paring veterans to get under the salary cap.
Terrell was joined on the temporary unemployment line Monday by Cleveland safety Robert Griffith, 36-year-old line-backer Roman Phifer of New England, and three Atlanta defensive players who have been starters much of their careers: Travis Hall, Ed Jasper and Cory Hall.

Kangaroos defeat Crusaders 80-79
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Brandon Temple had 20 points, including a three-pointer with less than seven seconds left, to lead Missouri-Kansas City to a 80-79 victory against Valparaiso last night.
The Kangaroos (16-11, 12-4 Mid-Con) overcame a five-point deficit in the last minute to win.
Carlton Aaron had 19 points for UMKC, Quinton Day had 16, and Mike English added 15.
Dan Oppland led the Crusaders (15-15, 10-6) with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Jarryd Loyd added 13, and Ron Howard had 12.
Valparaiso led 42-39 at half-time.
with a minute left, the Crusaders led 78-73. Day then connected on two free throws with 55 seconds remaining to make it 78-75.
A traveling violation on Seth Colclaasure gave UMKC the ball with 24 seconds left, and a drive by Day made it 78-77 at the 18.4 mark.
Day fouled Loyd, who made his first free throw but missed the second. Temple then launched the winning shot with 6.7 seconds remaining.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Teams wait for word on NCAA Tournament
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At No. 20, and with 20 wins already this year, Kelvin Sampson's team is all but guaranteed a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Oklahoma's coach said he would be surprised if the Sooners are joined by fewer than five other teams from the Big 12.
The Big 12, third in the latest RPI rankings behind the Atlantic Coast and Pac-10 conferences, already has three locks: Oklahoma, No. 7 Kansas and No. 8 Oklahoma State.

which seems assured of at least an NIT bid in first-year coach Billy Gillispie's remarkable turnaround season.
Lurking on the bubble — for now — is 'Texas A&M (18-7),
Iowa State (15-10) is still being discussed as an outside possibility for the NCAAs, while Kansas State (15-10), Nebraska (13-12), Missouri (14-14) and Colorado (13-13) all could get NIT invitations if things fall just right.
Since the Big 12 played its first basketball season in 1996-97, only one team with 20 victories by the end of the conference season has failed to earn an NCAA bid. That was in 1999, when Kansas State was relegated to the NIT — the Wildcats most recent postseason appearance — despite a 20-12 record.
Drop the win total to 19, and the chances are still pretty good — 40-for-44 since the formation of the Big 12.
Still, Texas coach Rick Barnes said, no team can afford to consider either number magic.
Of the teams hovering closest to .500, Nebraska appears to have the most momentum going into the regular-season home stretch. The Cornhuskers have won two straight, a 74-67 home upset of Oklahoma State and a 76-69 road victory over Iowa State.
"We want to finish the season strong no matter where it takes us," coach Barry Collier said. "We've been an improving team, even though we don't always have the W's to show it."

Keith Langford he would speak off the top of his head.
"My number one goal is not to cry, though." Lord said.
Everyone who knows him is certain that the guard will not be at a loss for words.
Maybe he'll talk about how he didn't want to come to Kansas at first, and how his mother made him come here. Perhaps he'll mention how angry he felt after the Jayhawks lost to Syracuse his sophomore year, and Roy Williams left. Or maybe, he'll get up there, say
"I will remember Keith as being clutch and cool," Self said. "Keith has a very dynamic personality that attracts people to him, but he is cool. He is 'Freeze.' That's his nickname, and he lives by it."
something vibrant and make everyone laugh.
Mike Lee rattled off a list of people he wanted to thank, but said he would just go up there and talk.
You just never know with Langford.
Lee is the locker room lawyer, Self said. Anybody who thinks they can beat him in an argument is nuts, he said.
Self said talking was what the reserve guard did best.
"He has a unique way of leading people and being positive, and that is hard to do sometimes when you are not playing a lot," Self said
Lee has been every bit as valuable as the other guys, Self said.
The interesting thing is, Lee didn't always feel valuable. He didn't even feel wanted.
There were many times during his freshman and sophomore years that he wanted to leave Kansas. He just didn't feel like he belonged. He thought about leaving over and over again.
Every time he felt the urge to pack up, he turned to his parents and Aaron Miles, his longtime friend, for support. His parents didn't want him to give up the opportunity he had, and Miles was always there to cheer him up.
After Roy Williams told Lee he hadn't given him a chance because he didn't act like he wanted to be at Kansas, Lee realized all he needed was a better attitude.
Now, if you ask Self, Lee is the hardest worker on the team.
"He's the first one to practice last one to leave, always working hard." Self said. "If everyone worked as hard as Mike Lee, this team would be very, very good, because I don't remember very many days where I had to get on him about his effort."
It's as if Aaron Miles doesn't think about it, he won't have to come to terms with the fact that his last game in the fieldhouse is approaching.
"I don't even like thinking about it." Miles said. "This is a
special place, and it is coming up ..." Miles trailed off.
His teammates make Miles is the jokester on the team, but the team jokester and Kansas' all-time assist leader said he hadn't thought about what he would say after tomorrow's game.
"Aaron is ornery, fun, tough and even when he is not playing his best, gosh, does he try hard." Self said of his point guard.
Kansas coach Bill Self has plenty to say about Miles.
Miles has played with Jeff Boschee and Kirk Hinrich, two of the best point guards in recent Kansas history, but he has still started all but one game as a Jayhawk. (He didn't start on senior day of his freshman year.)
Miles has 917 assists in a Kansas uniform — more than any other Jayhawk in history.
He will be looking at his parents, who have sat in the same

spot for every game this season. When asked whom he would thank tomorrow, Simien, whose faith is well documented, said he owed everything to his parents and God.
The Leavenworth native said he grew up dreaming about playing for Kansas. He didn't imagine that some day, kids would be idolizing him.
If everything goes right for him, Simien could be taken high in the NBA draft.
Tomorrow, the Jayhawks will wear special uniforms in honor of the night. Self said they were like "modernized throw-backs." Everything about the night will be special, Self said, because of the players who were being honored.
In recent basketball history, fans will point to Manning, Vaughn, Collison and Hinrich as some of the most memorable players to leave the program. Self said these four could be added to the group.

A Lawrence police officer arrested a University of Kansas baseball player for battery early Sunday morning, according to a Lawrence police report.
A fight occurred at about 2:15 a.m. Sunday in the 400 block of West 14th Street. Lawrence police arrested Scott Sharpe, senior pitcher, shortly after, according to the report.

The victim then told the two men to leave. The three men began arguing, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department.
As the two men were leaving the house, one of them slapped a friend of the victim in the face, Ward said.
The victim then followed the two individuals outside of the house.
Two or three other men met up

with the two outside the house. The group attacked the victim, punching him five or six times, Ward said.
A witness nearby recognized Sharpe as one of the
individuals involved in the altercation. The witness notified authorities.
Lawrence police located and arrested Sharpe in the 1300
block of Tennessee Street.
Around 3:15 a.m., Sharpe was booked into Douglas County jail for battery, Ward said.
Jail records indicate that Sharpe posted a $100 bond and was released later that day.
The victim said that he couldn't tell whether all the individuals were members of the baseball team. It appeared that they all knew each other and had been out together earlier that
Sharpe was the only individual identified and arrested, but several people were involved, Ward said.
"I think from my perspective that we've handled it properly within our program," Price said. "It's something that you don't like to see happening, but players make mistakes. They pay penalties and hopefully they learn from those mistakes."
Baseball coach Ritch Price said he was disappointed and that Sharpe was suspended.

The victim refused medical treatment at the scene, Ward said.

"It's certainly an embarrassing situation and it's embarrassing for our program," Price said. "I think Scott understands that."
Price declined to comment on how long Sharpe would be suspended.

DOLE INSTITUTE
Pizza attracts Dole interest Politics institute reaches out
BY JASON. SHAAD

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ed Rollins should be an intimidating person. His gruff voice and stout stature reinforce his career as a hard-nosed political strategist and former amateur boxer. But surrounded by people munching pizza yesterday, Rollins seemed a friendly uncle, albeit a knowledgeable one.
1920
Rollins was a political director for President Ronald Reagan and has been a longtime political strategist in Washington D.C. He spoke with about 30 people yesterday in the Kansas Union for a program called Pizza and Politics. The program provided free pizza to students who wanted to discuss politics. It is part of a bipartisan series sponsored by the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Kelly Hutsell/KANSAN
For Rollins, Pizza and Politics was more than a discussion; it was an opportunity to demystify politics.
"It frightens me that young people are frightened and disillusioned by politics," Rollins said.
Bill Lacy, who became director of the institute in September, has similar concerns. Lacy said that since the Dole Institute opened in 2003, it had not attracted as many undergraduate students as he had intended.
One reason for this may be that the institute is still in its infancy, Lacy said.
Ed Rollins, former political adviser under President Ronald Reagan, enjoys a laugh and slice of pizza after speaking with KU students yesterday afternoon at the Centennial Room in the Kansas Union. Rollins told stories about the many campaigns he had been a part of and talked politics with about 30 students as part of the Dole Institutes' Pizza and Politics event series. The event allowed students to talk politics in an informal environment.
"We're kind of just learning like a baby." Lacy said.
Some students also confuse the Dole Institute, located west of the Lied Center, with the Dole Human Development Center, which is located on Sunnyside Ave. south of Watson Library, said Lawrence Bush, director of facilities and events for the institute. Each semester

Smoke-free unenforced
Signs don't keep smokers 20 feet away from doors
BY TY BEAVER
tbeaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Recent survey results suggest that the University of Kansas could be more nonsmoker friendly.
With 20-foot pieces of string and chalk, student volunteers went to 22 different campus
buildings and monitored their smoke-free entrances during the second week of November last year.
Each building on the main campus of the University is required to have at least one smoke-free entrance. Smokers are not supposed to smoke within 20 feet of that entrance, said Melissa Smith, manager of the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Results of the survey were released last week and show a problem with compliance, she said.
Smith said she planned to approach the Office of the Provost about altering the policy and changing the environment by moving ashtrays and putting signs 20 feet from the entrances.
Three of the buildings surveyed had no smoke-free entrances.
Five of the buildings had non-handcapped-accessible smoke-free entrances, and 16 of the 22 buildings had smokers within the 20-foot perimeter.
While Smith said that the results were upsetting, she did not lay all blame on smokers.
Most complaints come in the cold months, she said, when people don't like to move beyond doors and shelter to smoke.
CRIME
Protecting others from secondhand smoke while not irritating smokers is the goal. she said.
Thirteen of the buildings have an ashtray receptacle within the 20 foot perimeter. Smith said.
"Every time the door opens, it just sucks smoke into the building." she said.

Late-night looting causes earlier store close
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbicket@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A Lawrence convenience store will no longer stay open 24 hours after looters stole hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise.
The Zarco at 1500 E. 23rd St. will now close its doors from midnight to 5 a.m., because looters stormed into the store early Saturday morning, Feb. 19, Kelly Williams, store manager, said.
She thought the people who looted her store on Feb. 19 had been to Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., earlier that night because she noticed that a lot of the looters were wearing wristbands from that bar. She said that about 100 people were in her store during the time of the looting and grabbed anything they could get their hands on.
Williams said her store had looting problems in the past.
It's up to the individual store,
though, to close during the night if they have problems, Williams said. The Zarco at 900 Iowa has never had a problem with looters and will stay open 24 hours, she said.
Williams also told police that she thought the looters were from Kansas City, Mo., because she noticed Missouri license plates on some of the cars parked outside. She also thought that the location of her store was part of the reason looters targeted it.
"The owners are just trying to make money too," Williams said. "I don't think they can do anything about it after they leave."
"The store is on the way out of town, so they hit it when they leave." Williams said.
The bar owners, however, are not responsible for the actions of their patrons after they leave the bar, Williams said.
She also said that once patrons left a bar, it was up to the city to handle them.
Earlier during the night of the looting Williams received a call from Douglas County Emergency dispatch alerting her that Last Call would close early. The call was out of the ordinary because Williams never called anyone at dispatch to ask them to alert her of early bar closings. She didn't know why the bar closed early and Last Call could not be reached for comment.
It's not the policy or the responsibility of the Douglas County Emergency
Management Office to alert all night businesses about the closing of bars, Jim Denny, director of communications, said.
Denny said he questioned why the call was made as well and that it was not their policy to make calls to businesses. '
"When we do that, it levies a responsibility that we can't live up to," Denny said. "If we do it for them, we have to do it for everybody."

To McKenzie Tyrrell, walking into Oliver Hall feels a lot different this semester.
The first floor of the residence hall went through renovations last June before its opening at the beginning of the semester. Open space, the Academic Resource Center and cubicles occupied the first floor before renovations, said Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing.
This semester, four televisions, including one big screen television, about 20 tables and 35 chairs, a pool table and a mini food court occupy the new O-Zone of Oliver Hall.
Adrian Norris, Wichita freshman, ponders his next shot during a game of pool Friday afternoon. The pool table was one of many new additions to Oliver Hall's first floor lobby. A new food service area, dining area, and new televisions were also added during the renovation. "They just put in the pool table and it's way better than the one before," Norris said.
"I've eaten here about two times a day," Tyrrell, Boulder, Colo. freshman, said. "The food is much better out here than in the cafeteria."
Stoner said the total project cost was $650,000, with the money coming out of student room and board fees.
Nona Golledge, associate director for KU residential dining services, said students could use their meal plans at Summit Subs and Hot Stuff
“During the day, it counts as part of our meal plan, so I don't have to have any money on me,” Sorensen said. “We always went out to eat first semester.”
Summit Subs and Hot Stuff Pizza make up the mini food court outside the cafeteria. They are open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., from 11 a.m. Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday, and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Before renovations, the empty space measured 63 feet wide and 80 feet deep. The renovated space extends seven to 10 feet into the cafeteria. Stoner said.
Ashley Sornsen, Ames, Iowa, freshman, said the new food services saved her money this semester.
Pizza until 2 p.m.
lindsee Acton, Oliver Hall secretary, said the new space made it easier to have hall government meetings.
Acton, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said about 55 people were involved with hall government at the beginning of the year. She said hall government was forced to have meetings in the basement of the residence hall, which led to the attendance to drop to a maximum of 15 members.
Acton said there are about 25 to 30 students attending meetings this semester. She said with the opening of the O-Zone, the government was starting to increase membership again.
"Now that we can hold our hall government meetings in the lobby, it's a great place to express to someone the ideals of hall government and present programming." Acton said.
The renovated lobby also has a computer lab and a KU Writing Center, which serves as a conference room.
Golledge said the first floor renovation was part of a Student Housing renovation plan, which renovated Ellsworth Hall in 2003. Hashinger Hall will start renovations in May and will not open until the fall of 2006.
Kip Grosshans, associate director for housing office administration, said last week that GSP Hall would likely be the next residence hall renovated after Hashinger.
Golledge said the social feeling that the O-Zone provided would attract many students, especially during March madness.
"Our hope is to also have the KU basketball games on the big screen later on down the road," she said.

AVIATION
Solo flight has few difficulties
BY JOHN MILBURN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A quarter of the way to history, millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett raced across North Africa yesterday in his bid to become the first person to fly a plane around the globe solo, nonstop and without refueling.
Fossett was about to cross into Saudi Arabia at nearly 47,500 feet just after 5 p.m., traveling east at 360 mph, aided by a strong jetstream.
estimated he would complete the 23,000-mile journey at midday tomorrow.
"I am covering territory fast, which is encouraging." Fossett said from the cockpit yesterday afternoon. "It's a long trip, especially at night. I feel a little bit tired, but I have been through it before. I'm going to be OK."
His experimental single-engine GlobalFlyer had consumed 25 percent of its 18,000 pounds of fuel, while Fossett had downed at least three diet chocolate milkshakes. The jet took off after sunset Monday from Salina.
Fossett's mission control in Salina
Fossett, 60, already holds the record for flying solo around the globe in a balloon, as well as dozens of other aviation and sailing records.
Project manager Paul Moore said Fossett reached his cruising altitude of 45,000 feet over the Atlantic instead of over Saudi Arabia, as originally expected, because of better-than-expected performance of the GlobalFlyer. Fossett planed to eventually climb to 49,000 feet.
The project is being financed by Virgin Atlantic founder Sir Richard Branson, a longtime friend and fellow adventurer.
For a while early yesterday, Fosseff flew blind in the dark over the U.S.-Canada border after he experienced difficulties with his global positioning system. Moore said Fosseff relied on help from mission control to navigate before the problem corrected itself.
The problem continued over Africa, Fosseff said, with the GPS system sputtering but still functioning.
Will Whitehorn, an Virgin executive, was part of a airborne chase team that met up with Fossett yesterday as he approached the African coast. The chase队 will rejoin Fossett over the Red Sea.
"It was a fantastic scene off the coast of Morocco. It looked like a swallow against the mountains," Whitehorn said. "No other aircraft I've seen looks quite like it."
Fossett is trying to break several aviation records, including the longest flight by a jet. The record is more than 12,000 miles, set by a B-52 bomber in 1962.
The first nonstop global flight without refueling was made in 1986 by Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan, brother of GlobalFlyer designer Burt Rutan.
In 2002, Fossett became the first person to fly a balloon solo around the world.

The group of five students has attended three Elite Eights, two Final Fours and a national championship game, but they never bought tickets.

As members of the men's basketball band, the seniors have played at every game since their freshman year in 2001.
Trumpet player Brian Morrow and trombone players Ian Bradt, Nick Mosher and Kelly Warrick will play their last notes at Allen Fieldhouse in tonight's game against Kansas State.

The band devoted the most time to game days.
For each of this year's 19 home games, they played 45 minutes before the game, a minimum of eight times during the game and a short set after the game.
"It's a lot of playing." Bradt, Johnston, Iowa, senior. said. "I knew it'd be something I'd be involved in. It's fun and I love KU basketball."
In addition to being at each game an hour early and playing after the final buzzer, the band also met for occasional rehearsals.
This season, all pep band members were also required to play in the fall marching band.

"I'd probably go to all of the games aneww." he said.
Harding praised "Sounds of Summer," the band's feature song and the first one they played for every game, as one of his favorite parts of game day, second only to winning.
He said he probably saved time because he didn't have to camp out or arrive two hours before tip-off.
"It sets the tone for the rest of the set." he said.
"I tried out my freshman year, because someone told me that I couldn't make it." Warrick said. "Lo and behold, I made traveling men's band my freshman year to prove them wrong."

Rader charged in BTK killings
STATE
BY DAVID TWIDDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Dennis Rader, the churchgoing family man accused of leading a double life as the BTK serial killer, was charged yesterday with 10 counts of first-degree murder.
Rader made his first court appearance by videoconference from his jail cell. During the brief hearing, Rader stood behind a podium, his hands folded at times, at others he leafed through a copy of the charges against him. He told the judge he was married and was employed with the city of Park City, and said "Thank you, sir" at the end of the hearing.
About a dozen family members of victims were in the courtroom, but they did not speak to reporters. Rader was accompanied by a temporary attorney, and the judge appointed the state's public defender office to represent him.
The BTK killer, whose nickname stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill," was suspected of eight deaths beginning in 1974, but authorities said they had linked two additional victims to the serial killer.
It appears unlikely Rader will face the death penalty. He has yet to be charged with a slaying that occurred after 1994, when Kansas passed its capital punishment law. Additionally, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that law unconstitutional in December.
Authorities have declined to say what led them to the 59-year
However, there were indications a computer disk BTK sent to the television station KSAS provided a key piece of evidence that led police to Rader.
old Rader, a married father of two, scout leader and active member of a Lutheran church.
Scott Robertson, an assignment editor for the station that produces KSAS' news broadcast, told The Associated Press a package the station received Feb. 16 contained the disk as well as jewelry that may have been from one of the victims.
Pastor Michael Clark of Christ Lutheran Church — Rader's church — also said police asked him for a list of people who had access to the church computer. On Friday, he provided 10 or 15 names, including Rader's, he said.
New details of the investigation also emerged from Michigan. The Wichita Eagle and The Daily Oakland Press of Pontiac, Mich., reported yesterday that FBI agents had visited the Farmington, Mich., home of Rader's 26-year-old daughter, Kerri, on Friday to get a DNA sample.
The timing indicated she was not visited until after her father had been arrested that same day in Kansas, the Eagle said, and suggested her DNA helped confirm his identity but was not the original break in the case.
Charles Nebus, police chief in Farmington, said the FBI told him they were conducting an interview Friday in the city in connection with the BTK case.

Smokers

Most people are willing to comply after a warning, he said.
entrance policy. Building managers can issue complaints about smokers but there is no group or individual monitoring the entrances, and there shouldn't be, Provost David Shulenburger said.
Requests to make a handicap-accessible entrance smoke-free are always considered and changing the smoking policy or moving ashtrays was not the way to solve the problem, Shulenburger said.
"Quite ultimately, this needs to be enforced by social pressure," he said.
One student isn't so sure.
Both Smith and Shulenburger said they thought that most of the smokers near smoke-free entrances were doing so from lack of knowledge rather than apathy.
While helping to compile-the survey, Meagan Whisenhunt, Great Bend senior, stood outside the Kansas Union and marked down the number of smokers within 20 feet of the smoke-free entrance.
Smokers would step outside the 20-foot perimeter once they noticed what she was doing.
The peer health educator isn't surprised by the survey's conclusion. She said she wished she could have done more.
Whisenhunt also doesn't think changing the policy or moving ashtrays will change the situation.
"Most people will do what they want, and I think people just don't care," she said.
Only stricter enforcement will solve the problem, Whisenhunt said.
Others aren't so quick to attack smokers.
Students walking to class have to go within 20 feet just to reach an ashtray, Sandy Duersch, psychology department staff, said.
"There are very, very few who just ignore the signs," she said.
A smoker herself, she said she abided by the rules whenever she saw a sign by a door. She doubts many students smoke by the entrances out of defiance rather than awareness.
A survey for students to voice their opinions on smoking policies on campus and in Lawrence is available through the KYou portal, Smith said.
Students will have until Wednesday, March 9 to complete the survey, she said.

▼ HOROSCOPES
- Today's Birthday. You have charm and
helping this year, and an extra helpi-
ng of common sense. It's a good time
to consider important options, and
make commitments that will last.
- ❖ Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 5.
You're a person who's usually "what"
*you see is what you get.* Today, how-
ever, discretion is advised. Don't talk
about your money, or lack of it.
- Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8. Listen, and take into consideration all the creative suggestions you're offered. And, of course, it goes without saying, keep complete control of the money.
- Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 5. Others are taking note of your willingness to perform difficult tasks. The bad news is that you'll get more of the same. The good: it leads to better things.
- Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 9.
You're such a gentle, loving person
that sometimes you get talked to
things. This time, remember the rules
and stick to them. Help everyone stay
on track.
+ Leo (July 23-Aug. 21) Today is a 5.
Review your reviews and figure out what you've won and what you've lost.
You'll find you can afford to make your home more secure, and more comfortable, too.
- Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Today is an 8.
Your mind has definite steel-trap qualities, but you're not all business.
You've also got a fanciful flair. Hang out with an imaginative friend.
- Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 6.
Provide excellent service and you'll be rewarded beyond your expectations. That's always a nice thing to have happen. Knock yourself out, for others.
- Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9.
You're so powerful, you don't have to tell people what you want. They figure
it out all by themselves. The smart ones do, anyway.
+ Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a
6. it's said that actions speak louder
than words. That's certainly the case
now. You might as well save your
words altogether. Listening ought to
work, though.
- Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a
7. Your friends may figure out
the answer before you do, so stay in
touch with them and keep on to
the next assignment in no time.
❖ Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6.
You've got a routine that seems to be quite productive. You'll know when you get it set up right. Your job will get easier and you'll make more money.
+ Pies (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 9.
You're the one with the imagination.
Somebody else has more experience,
and another person's good at planning.
You need them and they need you.

AUSTIN, YEAH BABY!
Marriage ban hypocritical; Divorce undermines sanctity
Before conservative heterosexual Americans worry about a ban on gay marriage, they should take a look in the mirror to see how hypocritical they are.
I am a retired police officer.
According to Americans for Divorce Reform, Inc., between 40 and 50 percent of couples who marry get a
AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com
divorce. I don't see how marriage ban proponents can make an argument against gay marriage when many don't take it seriously themselves. Apparently the sanctity of marriage doesn't include divorce.
Marriage used to mean something. My parents, who have been married more than 25 years, have kept their commitment. In fact, my grandparents continue to enjoy wedded bliss into their 60s and 70s. It is possible.
Now it seems straight couples marry just to spite those gays and lesbians who can't. It's like a 7-year-old bragging about a toy to another child whose mother can't afford one. Gay and lesbian couples who have been committed for 10 years are legally not allowed a right afforded to drunk, straight couples in Las Vegas who have known each other for 10 minutes. Jennifer Lopez has married three times and Britney Spears married twice in 2004 alone.
Maybe celebrities aren't the best examples. Let's move to conservative politicians. Kansas native and former senator Bob Dole divorced the wife
who nurses him through his war wounds and bore his first child. Ronald Reagan divorced the mother of the first two of his children and then proceeded to marry Nancy. They welcomed a child into the world seven months after saying "I do." Doesn't it take nine months
for a child to develop? He couldn't have been thinking about love, commitment and the sanctity of marriage. It was probably more like, "Oh shit, I knocked her up."
Some divorces are inevitable, but how can you pledge your undying love four or more times? Conservative poster child Rush Limbaugh and his wife have racked up four divorces and six marriages between them. That's almost as bad as getting addicted to prescription pain medication that isn't prescribed to you. Oh wait, he did that too.
Not satisfied? Conservative Bob Barr (R-Ga.), who has been married three times, can see how the Defense of Marriage Act, so I can see how he would be eager to defend it. I wonder, however, which one of his marriages he's trying to defend.
The argument against gay marriage is not only hypocritical but just plain silly. When you go to the polls next month to decide the future of gay marriage in Kansas, think about what marriage really means.

BROCK'S BRAINS
Nothing else will do but KU blue at tonight's game
Pink. Green. Lavender.
Orange. Brown. These are some of the colors of shirts students have worn to Kansas home basketball games this season. Not blue. Not even crimson. Where do these students come from? And what did they have to choose between before they
ROBERT BROCK
vbrock@kansan.com
decided on a maroon shirt? Did it just look prettier than aqua that daw?
Some students show up in their polos, slacks, tank tops and mini-skirts as if Allen Fieldhouse had converted into some form of dance club. For some odd reason, I just can't see the guy with a blue-painted torso who is screaming at the top of his lungs asking for your number — even if your new Gap belt matches your high heels. This has gotten so ridiculous, I'm just waiting for someone to show up in pink spandex or a bright yellow jumpsuit.
The reality is that some KU students seem to have forgotten that KU's colors are crimson and blue. It perplexes me that many students don't understand that they should wear one of these colors to Kansas basketball games. Wearing the same color obviously doesn't guarantee a win, but it does exemplify the principle of the university — unity. If we can show our support by standing and cheering, we need to all follow through and support the team and the school by wearing blue and only blue.
When you watch an Oklahoma or Nebraska football game, or a Maryland basketball game, you don't see anyone wearing anything other than a shade of red. Even fans at University of Pittsburgh basketball games manage to match. When was the last time they won a championship or went to back-to-back Final Fours?
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to patronize the student fans. We are among the most loyal and dedicated in the country. We camp out days in advance. We stand the entire game and lead the chants and cheers. We make the Fieldhouse the formidable arena it is today. What some of us are not able to do, though, is match on a regular basis. What should be a sea of blue is usually more like a creek of burgundy or plaid.
On Sunday, Hutton Farms provided complimentary blue KU shirts for every fan in attendance. Even most of the alumni managed to wear the shirts and stand for portions of the game. (After four years of not getting anything free at the games I might expect free
toilet bowl brushes or free buckets of paint, but free shirts? Now that's something.)
I have never seen a crowd look that impressive. From what I've heard from friends and family, this effort was equally as impressive on TV. Ideally, the crowd should look like that at every home game, but shirts are not going to be passed out at every game. Realistically, every student should just wear blue.
According to a Feb. 8 Kansas City Star article, a new University marketing campaign has deemed royal blue the official KU blue. But, it shouldn't even have to come down to doing research and making official statements through the media for students to know that KU blue is not navy blue or neon蓝 or light sky blue. It should be understood that they wear only KU blue to every game. It shouldn't make any difference if we're playing Missouri or a team of mimes. Hopefully, though, the marketing department can develop some way in the future to get everyone on same page.
PAGE 7A
While the fieldhouse has many problems that need to be addressed, this is the most egregious one and the easiest to fix. We can dream about a new Jumbotron scoreboard so we can watch replays of Wayne's dunks instead of two-dimensional dancing nachos, and we can dream about adding a few thousand seats to raise a few more bucks and bring back the men's rowing team, but it will take millions of dollars to make those renovations.
It's the student's job to fix this nuisance now.
Support the Jayhawks tonight against Kansas State and wear blue. Not red, white, turpoise,
black, but KU blue.

Steve Sack/STAR TRIBUNE
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Be cautious of extremist pundits; Give credit to tenured professors
I would like to start by saying that I am not writing this as a liberal or a conservative. I'm writing this as a black man, so take it how you want.
In the year of our Lord 2005, we still live among ignorant people who don't seem to understand how the real world works. Not that many people do at 18 or 19, but it seems sad to me that with today's political atmosphere that feels more like fascism than conservatism, people aren't taking to the streets in protest. The reason however is simple and tragic. Nothing is real until it affects you.
The term "liberal extremism" is funny considering these days and times. With Ann Coulter on the loose it seems like the only extremists that are truly dangerous are the ones that have the most influence. True, Coulter, O'Reilly and Limbaugh aren't politicians, but they are still highly influential people who write books to affirm the beliefs of the 85 percent of the country who doesn't have a damn idea what the hell is going on.
In Ann Coulter's book "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)," she actually states that "we should go into Iraq, kill all their leaders and convert everybody to Christianity." This is the woman that is supposed to be at the top of the conservative intellectual chart. Convert everybody to Christianity? It's a Muslim nation. Why is that so hard to grasp? Then she has the nerve to say that the only thing the average black person has to worry about is being patronized to
death. What?
Ward Churchill's statements about the people in the World Trade Center were well within his right to say as a professor who had earned tenure — no matter what the statement was. That's the reason you come to college in the first place. The whole point is to critically analyze the world as we know it and receive a different educated opinion, not to train the masses to follow the establishment.
The problem is no one wants to believe that we deserved to be attacked. America, the only true juggernaut of the whole world, makes decisions that affect the rest of the world every day in ways we don't even bother to fathom. Nobody cares. Everybody wants everything to be nice, so they avoid the true issues and refuse to see the truth. Why were we attacked? The country has been at war for more than two years now. Has there been any true study into why the World Trade Center was attacked? Churchill was forcing his students to look at the tragedy of Sept. 11 in a different way other than what the government would have you believe. Since when do tenured professors become the enemy?
We are slowly becoming more and more fascist as the years go by. The reality is that next thing you know Ann Coulter is going to be running for president, which is a scary thought. As I said, I'm not a liberal or a conservative. This past election, I voted for Shirley Chisholm. I don't have the answers, but I know this: We're not free; we're just licensed.

That's right, they've let us publish two editions now. And I'd like to say, to all the haters: Don't hate the player, hate the rapper who decided to call himself, "The Game." Our best response from the
Our best response from the first edition came as a result of Owen Morris' story on organ-harvesting for tuition. A mother of a KU student called the editors of the Kansan to say that "no one was going to get her son's liver." Thanks for your response, lady. I know a lot of editors try to spawn interest in stories by telling anecdotes connected to them, so here goes. I think rubber bracelets are lame, I tried to get rid of my virginity at some point, my dad's an optometrist, I can't dance, I could care less about celebrity relationships, I've waited forever in line at The Underground and I've probably farted in class at some point. Sorry. Keep it real.
Sexy optometrist market heats up
Dr. R. Kevin Lenahan has connered Lawrence's sexy optometrist market for years.

to contain his bulging biceps. But Lenahan might want to step out from behind his phoropter and check out the new blood down the street at The EyeDoctors. Dr. Pete Gripstone just started practicing in Lawrence and might be the hottest optometrist the city has ever seen. Gripstone's new TV ads feature him mounting an exam chair, only wearing briefs and a lab coat. The ads end with the tag line, "Dr. Gripstone — a sight for sore eyes."
Art student's 'art' stinks up classroom
Tired of the same old excuse from performance art major James Toth, Lawrence senior, students in his English 332 class have become fed up with
Toth's "expressive" antics. "You can't start farting in the middle of class and claim its 'art,'" argued Heather Jergens, classmate and Wichita junior, "I mean we all know you just ripped one and were too embarrassed to say anything else." Toth claims he uses his body odor to make other students aware of their own submission to bath products and is part of his continuing installation against popular culture. In response to the criticism, Toth belched, scratched himself and said, "It's my art, I don't expect everyone to get it."

Trent Dolphus, Andover junior, was excited when he purchased his first LiveStrong bracelet. Then, after he bought his second LiveStrong bracelet, Dolphus realized a truth far more profound: A fad is just a fad — unless it changes the world.
"I mean, I always liked wrist wear," says Dolphus, a member of KU's coed business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi. "But then I was like, 'Hey, these little plastic guys kick the crap out of any friendship bracelet anyone ever made me at summer camp." Dolphus quickly resolved to enter the bracelet business.
When it came time to launch his own imprint, Dolphin chose "I Love Bracelets."
"There are so many causes these days," Dolphus said. "We've all got at least one 'LiveStrong.' Then there's the Lew Perkins brand, one from my favorite bar and even one supporting Israel. Really, everyone can get their message across this way, and I would like to help more people achieve that."
Knowing that his project might someday affect billions, this young philanthropist plans to donate 50 percent of the proceeds from his "I Love Bracelets" bracelets to the NBDC — the National Bracelet Development Coalition.
The other half of the money will help finance a fact-finding trip to Acapuleo, Mexico, March 20 through March 27, where Dolphus will investigate the potential impact of cause bracelets in developing countries. He has not yet produced Spanish "Yo amo las pulseras" bracelets.
The United Nations and other international organizations have yet to pursue such a bold initiative, and Dolphus thinks he knows why.
"They're all afraid because this could change the world," Dolphus said. "Within 20 years, you won't pay for a hot dog with paper dollars. Instead, you'll show your 'United States' bracelet."
and the vendor will simply take a laser scan of your eve."
Though many innovators are eventually weighed down by the burden of their own ideas, Dolphus maintains he won't be.
"I don't think I could look my kid in the eye knowing that I had this opportunity to help mankind and didn't," Dolphus murmured as he carefully turned each bracelet on his arm so that it could be read. "Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I just take out my old 'What Would Jesus Do?' wristband and I think, 'he'd probably make a kick-ass bracelet."
Sophomore tries to give up virginity for Lent

THE BOYS CAMP
Every year Marc Thompson tries to be a good Catholic by giving something up for Lent. And for the fourth year in a row, he's decided that it should be his virginity.
Thompson then searched unsuccessfully for someone to high-five. Thompson's friends said that despite trying his best, he has never gotten close to losing his virginity or to actually dating a woman.
"Don't get me wrong."
Thompson told his buddies while playing Halo 2. "I'm always hunting for beaver. Marc the Machine just tries a little harder during Lent, if you know what I mean!"

Tompson's roommate, Dan Faulkel, said, "Every night Marc comes in here and talks shit about how he's going to get laid, and every night I come home
and he's here playing video games." Faulke said, "One time a girl from across the hall came to borrow a DVD and I thought he was going to pass out he was so nervous. As soon as she left, he started talking about how smooth he'd played it and how he wouldn't be surprised if she tried to get in his bed that night. She told her roommates he smelled like hotdogs."
"Those guys, what jokers!" Thompson responded to his friend's allegations. "They're just jealous 'cause they don't have half the moves I do. I mean, they only see me as the guy who likes to play video games and look at Internet porn. But they don't see the ladies I pick up online. Can they tell ladies that they're a level 39 Ogre Shadow Knight on Everquest? Methinks not."

Student dies in line at Underground
Jack Tingelberg,
Pottawatothemie freshman, was found dead yesterday at The Underground in Wescoe Hall.
Apparently, Tingelberg had been waiting in line around 12:30 p.m., for hours, when his body shut down from what KU Medical Center doctors have described as a combination of exhaustion, dehydration and starvation. "He really loved Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches," Tingelberg's friend Ashley Dunst said. "Not the grilled ones, the breaded ones." Stan Fishman, The Underground cashier, said. "I feel really bad. We were busy during the lunch rush and no one noticed him on the floor until someone tried to get a muffin. He was blockin' the muffin rack."

CAPS to support the celeb-obsessed
KU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) has begun offering additional support to students who are having a particularly difficult time adjusting to recent Hollywood breakups. Heartbreak seems to have swept the nation." Jen and Brad were practically American Royalty," Sara Baker, Olathe senior, said. "How am I supposed to go on without my king and queen?"
Although the majority of students seen at CAPS have been seeking help for the Aniston/Pitt split, there are a few receiving counseling for other celebrity splits. Ronald Smith, Manhattan sophomore, said, "Who would've thought that Brigitte Nielsen and Flavor Flav were not actually in love?" Students have agreed that as long as Britney Spears and her better half, Kevin Federline, who represent the essence of class, continue to share marital bliss, they can attend class knowing the world is right.

Jayhawks pull through in the end
Who would have thought that the Big 12 Conference Championship would be played in Allen Fieldhouse this year?
Kansas coach Bill Self said that the Oklahoma State game would go down as one of the best games ever played in Allen Fieldhouse.
Facing a possible four-game losing streak, the Jayhawks defeated Oklahoma State 81-79 on Sunday to take the lead in the conference standings and put them in position to win the regular season title.
"I have never been a part of a better basketball game," Self said. "Oklahoma State made a lot of great plays. They are by far the best team we have faced all season."
It's fitting that Kansas played its best game of the year against the best team on its schedule. The mental toughness that Kansas showed on Sunday
At times this season, the media has criticized the Jayhawks for being unable to put teams away. They allowed Colorado to sneak back into the game in Boulder, let a 17-point lead dwindle to four at Kansas State and only escaped losing to Nebraska at home because of a failed wide-open three-point attempt.
— just as its has shown in the other 20 games in the win column — is the reason that this team has as good a shot as any to win the national championship.
But just like Sunday against Oklahoma State, the one thing the Jayhawks did in all those games was win.
The Jayhawks were not able to pull ahead of the Cowboys, even after senior forward Wayne Simien opened the game with three consecutive baskets. In the second half, Kansas built a seven-point lead in what looked like it could quickly turn into a 20-point lead. Soon after, Kansas was down by seven with less than six minutes to play.
Kansas then turned to Simien to help pull the team back into the game. Simien scored four points during an 8-0 Kansas run that gave the Jayhawks an 80-78 lead with 40 seconds on the clock.
"Wayne is the player of the year, hand downs. We rode his back," senior forward Keith Langford said. "It was Wayne who got us over the hump. He is our proven scorer. I think he could score with no arms."
Simien scored a career-high 32 points, with 12 rebounds and five assists, passing his career-high of 31 set in the Big 12 Tournament last year against Missouri. The senior forward put on a performance that had Big 12 Player of the Year written all over it.
Once again, the Jayhawks proved that they have the grit to win the close games. They showed that they were able to hang with one of the best teams in the nation and win. They showed it on New Year's Day against Georgia Tech, and they showed it on the road against Kentucky a week later.

Kansas' strongest scorer, Crystal Kemp, leaves court in game's closing moments
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Whenever Iowa State delivered a scoring jab to Kansas' collective face, the lavahawks returned in kind.
An inadvertent blow to Crystal Kemp's mouth down the stretch of the game, however, injured the junior forward and took away Kansas' strongest scoring threat, with the contest on the line. The injury to Kemp, coupled with foul trouble for the other Jayhawk post players, prevented Kansas from pulling the upset at No. 20 Iowa State, falling 61-52 in the regular season finale.
Competing fiercely against the highest scoring offense in the Big 12, the Kansas front court got into foul trouble early, but the guards kept it close.
Junior guard Erica Hallman led the Jayhawks with 15 points and a game-high five assists.
"The guards kept us in the game and the posts gave us a chance to win it," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
At the 10:32 mark, Kemp netted her first score of the game. It was a hook shot that pulled the fading Jayhawks within eight, 44-36. Kemp then scored five over the next two possessions to bring the rejuvenated Jayhawks back in the contest.
A Kaylee Brown, junior guard, three-point shot over Mary Fox stunned the Cyclone crowd and closed the gap to 44-43.
The game reached a 47-47 tie after Kemp's final score of the night, but not before freshman forwards Jamie Boyd and Taylor Mcintosh both picked up their fourth fouls.
Kemp not only missed serious playing time in key minutes with the injury, but also remained scoreless for the game's first 30 minutes while she battled foul trouble. Boyd made her first career start, fouled out of the game with more than four minutes remaining.
"I thought it was fantastic," Henrickson said of her team's battles. "We needed some mental toughness and some physical toughness."
The foul trouble set back the already short Kansas roster and forced Henrickson to use a fourguard lineup, but the Jayhawks were not done vet.
Kansas would not score again.

Jayhawks humiliated by errors
Kansas senior catcher Sean Richardson catches a strike from senior pitcher Andrew Rebar yesterday in the top of the fifth inning during Kansas' match-up against Southwest Missouri State. The Jayhawks lost, 8-4.
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
"That's the most embarrassing performance we've had since I've been here." Price said.
Kansas coach Ritch Price summed up yesterday's proceedings at Hoglund Ballpark quite well.
In fact, embarrassing might be an understatement. The Jayhawks committed six errors as a team, which accounted for seven unearned runs in Southwest Missouri State's 8-4 victory. Junior right fielder Gus Milner and freshman third baseman Erik Morrison each had two defensive miscues. Kansas,12-5, has now committed 34 errors, an average of two per game.
"I've been in some bad ball games before, but that was probably the worst I've played," Milner said.
Kansas got a poor perform-
to right field to drive in the first run of the inning for the Bears, followed by a run on the wild pitch. Junior designated hitter Adam Pummill then drove in the third run of the inning to put Kansas in a hole.
"I was shocked," Price said. "Take nothing away from what SMS did, but that was the worst defensive game and worst pitching game we've played in three years."
The Bears, 2-5. jumped out to a 3-10 lead in the second inning, taking full advantage of two errors and a wild pitch by the Jayhawks. Freshman second baseman Matt Lawson singled

ance from its pitching staff as well. Without anyone from the starting rotation on full rest after last weekend's games against Northern Colorado, the Jayhawks went to a combination of six pitchers. As a staff, Kansas walked seven batters and hit one. Senior Mike Zagurski (3-1) took the loss, pitching two innings and giving up three runs on three hits. Only one of the runs charged to Zagurski was earned, and that turned out to be the only earned run for Southwest Missouri State all day.
Despite the early deficit and
That was as close as Kansas
Freshman pitcher Ross Detwiler (1-0) got the victory for SMS. He threw 4 1/3 innings and allowed all four runs.
Junior shortstop Ritchie Price added an error. Price, a preseason all-Big 12 selection known for his stellar defense, has made nine errors this season and has become frustrated, he said.
In addition to the defensive woes, Kansas only managed three hits on the afternoon.
"I think there were a lot of bad at-bats," Price said. "We were getting behind in the count and we didn't put very many balls in play today."
got. After SMS loaded the bases off of senior pitcher Andrew Rebar, junior center fielder Jacob Hilgendorf doubled home three runs to answer the rally by the Ivahawks.
"I blame myself for our team's defense," Ritchie Price said. "I'm supposed to anchor the defense, and I've sucked this year. I don't know what's going
"I come out and make an error every day," he said. "The ball pops out of my glove one day, I throw a ball away the next day. I can't figure it out."
on. I've made a lot of errors. I've never dealt with this before."
As for what needs to be done to turn around the team's play before the team goes to Mississippi State this weekend for the NBC Classic, Ritch Price said the work would start today.
"If we don't come out and practice any better than that, it could be a very embarrassing weekend," he said. Notes
- Junior outfielder A.J. Van Slyke was selected Big 12 Player of the Week for last week's performance against Northern Colorado. Van Slyke is the second layhawk to be selected this season, joining junior outfielder Matt Baty.

Former Jerome Bettis tutor joins KU coaching staff
Kansas coach Mark Mangino announced that Earle Mosley would fill the team's final assistant coaching position. Mosley will serve as the team's running backs coach, replacing Pat Henderson.
Mosley coached running backs for the NFL's Chicago Bears from 1999-2003. In 2001, he helped mold rookie back Anthony Thomas, who ran for a Bears' rookie record 1,183 yards and won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
"Earle brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our program," Mangino said. "His work ethic and attention to detail are widely recognized in college coaching circles. He is a great addition to our staff."
Before coaching for the Bears, Mosey was an assistant coach for six different collegiate football teams. He worked at Stanford from 1997 to 1998 under Tyrone Willingham, at Notre Dame from 1992 to 1996 under Lou Holtz, at Temple from 1988 to 1992, at Northwestern from 1984 to 1988, at Rutgers from 1980 to 1983, and at West Chester University in 1979.
The most notable running back that Mosley coached at the collegiate level was then-Notre Dame Irishman and current Pittsburgh Steeler, Jerome Bettis.
Mosley graduated from West Chester University and was a three-time letter winner at defensive back. He was named to the school's football hall of fame in 1990.

VIERA, Fla. — It's only an exhibition, and it's only spring training.
Still, for a team that finally is setting down roots, it's a big deal to play a game — any game — with "Nationalists" on the jerseys and a curly "W" on the caps.
The Washington Nationals open the preseason today, playing the New York Mets and giving baseball fans in the nation's capital their first chance to root for the home team since the Senators left for Texas after the 1971 season.
Still unresolved is the impending sale of the Nationals, currently owned by baseball's other 29 franchises.

ROWING
Big 12 crews prepare to race
BY KRISTEN JARBOE

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
March is here, and that means competition for the women's rowing team is right around the corner.
The Saturday immediately following spring break, the KU team will head to Austin. Texas.
Competition starts a little earlier for some other teams though. Kansas State and Texas will start competition at the Longhorn Invitational, March 18-20.
All three teams are still working on getting prepared for that first day, whether it be on the water or in the weight room.
PETER WILSON
Kansas coach Rob Catloth stressed the importance of staying in shape and said, "We're trying to get as fit as we can."
With less than three weeks of practice before the first race, practices have changed a little for the Wildcats, K-State coach Patrick Sweeney said.
"We need to be able to get on the water now," he said. "Last week, we had the opportunity to get on there."
Texas coach Carie Graves also emphasized the importance of fitness.
But as for Monday's practice, we were blown off the water by the wind."
"We are really working on creating a solid base for fitness and technique," she said. "We had an outstanding recruitment of freshmen, and we have good senior leadership. It's nice to have that on both ends."
Catloth
Having leadership on both sides of the team helps.
"A lot of our performance depends on our upperclassmen," Catloth said. "We also need the sophomores to push the program along."
For K-State, upperclassmen leadership is an issue. The team has only three returning from last year's first boat.
"We've got a young team this year with little experience, but they are a good group of athletes," Sweeney
"You have different people every year," she said. "There are some things that could be better than last year. But some things are better."
Coach Graves said that turnover was part of college sports.
Because teams lose and gain athletes every season, the competition between teams changes as well, Graves said.
said. "We do have some youngsters, but they have grown quite nicely."
But rowing against other teams in the Big 12 Conference is a more important factor.
"There is not a lot of competition in this part of the country," Graves said. "So it is intense — literally intense — when you're racing someone in the league."
Catloth said he agreed.
"We always want to race well against conference schools," he said. "We don't look at them lightly."
He said the competition made rivalls stronger. The rivalry between K-State and Kansas was apparent to Sweeney.
"Everybody is your rival, but obviously there is a rivalry between us and KU." he said. He said that is
The rivalry between teams is apparent on the part of the Jayhawks as well.
what made a race even more fun.
Graves said that her team always brought good, hard racing.
"It's always a good match-up." Catloth said. "The rivalry is there in every sport between the two schools."
Texas has become a tough rival for Kansas as well. Catloth said the Longhorns were usually pretty fast — they've gone to the NCAA Championship the last two years.
"We want them to do the best they can on training and to love rowing," she said. "Winning is a benefit of those things. When they do win, they're done their best." She said only one team wins the National Championship and that it needs to do its best to get there.
She expected that kind of performance from the lajawhacks.
"KU always has good, solid racers." Graves said.
The two will match up on Saturday, March 26.
FOOTBALL
Free agents, releases remain hot commodities
— Edited by Jennifer Voldness
As the signing period begins today, the players most in demand are those who have been released by their former employers or are about to be as good or better than the rest of the free agents.
The reason: most teams now recognize it's best to keep your own.
try to remain as cohesive as possible.
try to remain as conceive as possible:
The marquee name on the market is Plaxico Burress, the Pittsburgh wide receiver.
Another Steeler on the market will be linebacker Kendrell Bell, the defensive rookie of the year in 2001. Since then, he has spent more time in the trainer's room than on the field and on Tuesday, Pittsburgh re-signed Larry Foote, who replaced him last season.
- Dave Goldberg
But he also carries a "buyer beware" tag. He's been inconsistent, and the Steelers often are willing to let their own go if they aren't worth the price.

"They got to the free throw line a lot," Henrickson said.
Injury
"Believe it or not, we'll gain momentum off this," Henrickson said.
Even with the defeat, Henrickson realized the confidence gained from playing a top-25 team down to the wire.
For the night, the Cyclones attempted 31 free throws, while the Jayhawks made only three trips to the line.
One area the Jayhawks can take a positive swing from their defense, limiting Iowa State to only 61 points. Against a team that entered the game averaging 78 points per outing, Henrickson saw the necessity of shutting down the Cyclones.
Kansas held the potent Iowa State offense in check for the first 20 minutes but still trailed by one, 25-24, at the break.
"We felt like it had to be in the mid- 60s to be in the game," Henrickson said. "Right now, the uglier the better for us."
The Cyclones, who shot under 40 percent from three-point range as a team, started out the contest 0-7 from
the outside. A Fox three-point shot, just before the half, made Iowa State 2-10 for the half and gave it the advantage going into the locker room.
"We didn't give them shots they wanted." Henrickson said.
During the same time frame, Kansas made four of 13 attempts from beyond the arc.
Coming into the game, the Jayhawks stressed the need to answer runs by the conference's better teams and respond with spurs of their own and they did that early.
A brief 7-0 charge capped by a three by Brown gave Kansas a five-point lead minutes into the game. Iowa State scored six unanswered points, but Kansas fired back and reclaimed its five-point cushion, 18-13.
In the second half, Kansas trailed 40-31 and seemed dead in the water before Kemp's return jump-started the team.
Up next for the Jayhawks - 12-15, 5-11 is the Big 12 Conference Tournament. Kansas will play at noon Tuesday against either Missouri or Texas A&M, in Kansas City, Mo.
WOMEN'S GOLF
Kansas' women's golf team wrapped up the Mo'Morial golf tournament in 14th place yesterday.
Kansas places 14th out of 15 teams
The Jayhawks shot 329 in the final round in College Station, Texas. For the tournament, the team shot a score of 992.
Southern Methodist won the tournament with a score of 942. Big 12 Conference opponents Texas A&M, Baylor and Kansas State all finished in front of Kansas.
- Edited by Nikola Rowe
A&M carded a 943, Baylor a 965 and K-State shot a 986.
Kansas' best scoreer was sophomore Amanda Costner. She came in 15th with a three-round score of 238.
Fifteen teams competed in the tournament, with Indiana coming in behind Kansas.
"Amanda did a great job coming back and posting a good score today. I am very proud of her," coach Erin O'Neil said.
The Jayhawk golf team will next play in the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational in Austin, Texas, March 11 to 13.

MEN'S GOLF
Team battles back for repeat trophy
The Kansas men's golf team won the Roadrunner Intercollegiate at Oak Hills Country Club in San Antonio, Texas, for the second straight year.
The Jayhawks were able to come out on top of the 16team field after sitting in fourth place. After two rounds, New Mexico State, Wichita State and Big 12 foe Baylor were in first, second and third places.
Kansas shot a first-round score of 284 and a second-round score of 292 for a combined score of 576. Sophomore Tyler Docking led the Jayhawks through the first two rounds with a total score of 140, which was enough for second overall.
Senior Andrew Price also led the Jayhawks through the first
Senior Kevin Ward, junior Pete Krsnich and sophomore Gary Woodland each shot two-round totals of 149 to tie for 37th overall. Junior Luke Trammell was tied for 61st after the first two rounds with a score of 154.
two rounds, shooting a two-round total of 144. Price was tied for 12th overall entering the round yesterday.
Coach Ross Randall said he was not happy with the way his team played on Monday.
"We didn't play very well in the second round," he said. "Hopefully we will do the things we need to do to catch the teams in front of us and win."
The Jayhawks responded by winning the tournament yesterday. This victory gives the team a strong start to its spring season. They have won the second tournament they have played.

Player gains awards for better game
straight season yesterday when he was named both most valuable player and defensive player of the year.
ST. LOUIS — Darren Brooks of Southern Illinois swept the major individual awards in the Missouri Valley Conference for the second
Brooks helped the Salukis win the regular-season championship with a 14.7-point scoring average, 4.5 assists and 2.7 steals. Although his points are down from last season, when he averaged 16.5 points, he
has developed a better all-around game. His assists total is up nearly two per game and he has 85 steals, 25 more than last season and tied for third-best ever in the Valley.
"Some people say my scoring is down a little bit, but my other numbers are all up so it kind of evens out." Brooks said. "I had a great
season and my team has had a great season overall."
Joining Brooks on the all-conference team were Marcellus Sommerville of Bradley, Ben Jacobson of Northern Iowa, Nate Funk of Creighton and Lorenzo Gordon of Illinois State.

Kansas State has incentive tonight
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Recent successes improve NIT chances; defeating Kansas would help even more
BY KELLY ROBINET
krobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas State will enter tonight's match-up with Kansas, at 8 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse, with plenty to play for.
After defeating the Bears and the Buffaloes last week, the Wildcats improved their record to 15-9 overall, 5-9 in the Big 12 Conference, and are in the mix for an NIT bid.
Kansas State hasn't made a postseason appearance since 1999, when the team went to the NIT. With history as an indicator, a strong finish would propel Kansas State into the NIT.
Since the Big 12 was formed, only one team — Baylor in 1999 — has been denied a postseason appearance after finishing with a winning record and at least six conference victories.
"This is a big week for us," Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge said. "We really need to strive for more success, and then we'll see where we are at the end of it."
Kansas State struggled through the middle of the conference season, but a recent switch to a smaller lineup has helped right the ship.
In addition to its two straight victories, Kansas State gave Oklahoma all it could handle before losing by a point, on a last-second shot.
"We put that lineup in three games ago," Wooldridge said. "We beat Baylor with that lineup and went on the road and beat Colorado with that lineup. We do give up some size, but that hasn't been a big factor for this team this year. I think it's provided us with our best chance to win."
ly and have become solid complimentary players to senior forward Jeremiah Massey.
Sophomore guards Fred Peete and Lance Harris have excelled from the perimeter late-
Massey, who was last year's Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, scored 20 points against Kansas earlier this year, and is being considered for first-team All Big 12 honors.

"He is right there and I think certainly deserves consideration," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "When you look at his numbers and how he carries a team, how the team is centered on him and defenses are designed to stop him first, I certainly think he deserves plenty of recognition for that."
Massey averages nearly 18 points and seven rebounds a contest, and is coming off a monster game at Colorado, in which he scored 28 points and pulled down 19 rebounds.
Junior forward Christian Moody guarded Massey in their first meeting, but he picked up two quick fouls, and freshman forward Sasha Kaun was on him for most of the game.
Jeremiah Massey, Kansas State senior forward, appeals a call during the game at Bramlage Collison on Feb. 9. The Wildcats take on the lajwahves at 8 tonight for senior night at Allen Fieldhouse.

"I never really got the chance to guard him because he got me in that kind of foul trouble." Moody said. "Hopefully that won't happen again, but if I do Sasha did a good job last time and I'm sure him and the other big guys will be ready to step in."
Self said he would again give Massey's defensive assignment to Moody, but he may also mix it up to combat K-State's smaller lineup.
Moody said he was looking forward to playing against Massey again, but he is hardly going to be the focus of the Kansas defense.
"He's a great player, but they've got great outside shooting and their other big guys can step up." Moody said. "We've got to focus on them as a team."
EXPECTED STARTERS
Edited by John Scheirman
All four Kansas seniors will start alongside junior Christian Moody tonight. Moody will be assigned to defend Kansas State senior forward Jeremiah Massey, coach Bill Self said, but the match-ups may change when the Wildcats switch to a smaller lineup. The game will tip off at 8 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas out-shot the best shooting team in the conference on Sunday, shooting 66 percent from the field. Oklahoma State shot an impressive 58 percent from the field, thanks to senior guard John Lucas' 9-of-11 performance. But it wasn't enough to beat Kansas.
Although Kansas is not a team that will run teams out of the gym like Roy Williams' teams could, Self has instilled a special kind of toughness into his players. This team can win when the game is on the line, and when tournament time comes around in mid-March, the teams that can win the close games will be standing in the very end.
Tonight the stage is set for an emotional Senior Night in Allen Fieldhouse, as the Jayhawks will face their instate rival, the Kansas State Wildcats. Kansas is coming off of an emotional victory that gave it the conference lead, and avoided its first four-game losing streak since the 1988-89 season, Roy Williams' first season as coach.
"I think as far as winning, this senior class is going to have to go down as good a senior class to ever play here." Self said.
It's been a privilege to watch Mike Lee, Aaron Miles, Keith Langford and Wayne Simien play these last four years.
Thank you, seniors, for all the memories.
Tonight's game will mark the end of an era, an era that has proven that something is still right with college basketball. It isn't often in today's game that four players as good as Kansas' seniors stay for four years. Coach Self said that although these four players have put up incredible numbers during their time, they should be remembered for something else.

Farewell
"You know you have four guys who are worried about what they are going to say after the game as opposed to no distractions, but those types of things are distractions."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Coming off arguably the biggest victory of the season — an 81-79 triumph against Oklahoma State — Kansas is trying to carry its momentum into tonight's game. Self said he didn't think the 'Hawks would be sidetracked by the game.
"They are still our in-state rival and we didn't overlook them the first time and we won't overlook them the second time." Self said.
Kansas has struggled against the zone defense all year, and Self said he wouldn't be surprised to see the Wildcats throw it at them tonight.
If that's the case, tonight would be the ideal opportunity for sophomore guard J.R. Giddens to come out of his recent shooting slump. Giddens has made just two of his last 16 three-point attempts.
"They are probably thinking, 'How do we guard them?'" Self said. "They have been playing some zone and their zone was effective against us, so I anticipate them doing that."
The last time the two teams met, Giddens was on fire. He scored a season-high 18 points and went 7-for-19 from the field including a 4-for-6 performance from behind the arc.
Last time the two teams met, Simien, Langford and Miles combined for 48 of the Jayhawks' 74 points.
Self said he would start the four seniors and junior forward Christian Moody tonight.
The last time Kansas lost to K-State in Allen Fieldhouse, the seniors were in fifth grade.
On their night, the seniors said they didn't want anything to scar their legacy.
"We don't want to be remembered as the team that let the streak end," senior guard Aaron Miles said.
Kansas basketball notes
♦ Kansas' 81-79 victory against No. 4 Oklahoma State on Sunday repositioned it for a number one seed in the NCAA tournament.
- Senior forward Wayne Simien set a school record for most consecutive free throws with 34. The streak ended on Sunday against Oklahoma State.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he knew the team wasn't guaranteed a top seed in any regional, but earning the seed would have been impossible without Monday's victory.
Lower seeds prevail in intramurals

Technical fouls lead to intramural game losses for Fists of Fury, Pocket Rockets
Two intramural games almost made for Cinderella stories last night at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, but the stroke of midnight came in the form of technical fouls and the higher-ranked teams prevailed.
The 114th-ranked Fists of Fury made what they thought would be the game-winning three-point shot, but the 15th-ranked Ligerhawks drove the length of the court to make the winning shot with just three seconds left.
Neither team led by more than eight in a game characterized by physical play on both ends of the court. A player from each side fouled out.
Fists of Fury did most of their scoring in the first half, charging out to a six-point lead midway through the half. At that point, the Ligerhawks called time to regroup.
Coming out of the break, they were able to cut the lead to one before halftime.
"We started playing solid defense, and we started passing the ball more," Eric Williams, Keller, Texas, sophomore said.
- Edited by Ross Fitch
After halftime the Ligerhawks wasted no time claiming their first lead of the game and built on it with a 9-2 run.
With fewer than five minutes to play, Fists of Fury knocked down a three-point shot, making it a fivepoint game.
Seconds later, the Ligerhawks tried to call a timeout, unaware that they had already used it earlier in the half. They were charged with a technical foul, and Fists of Fury pulled within four points.
Walker fouled out with just under a minute to play, giving the Liger hawks an edge inside the paint. He said it was frustrating having to watch the final seconds from the team bench.
"We didn't give up when we were down by eight points," Brandon Walker. Hutchinson freshman, said.
The Ligerhawks entered the bonus, but were unable to put the game away, going just 4-of-11 from
Fists of Fury connected on a three-point shot with 33 seconds to play and only trailed by two. On the ensuing inbounds pass, the Ligerhawks threw the ball out of bounds, giving Fists of Fury the ball underneath their basket.
the line in the second half.
Following a turnover, they kicked the ball to the outside and were able to get off an open three-point shot with less than 13 seconds remaining.
The Ligerhawks grabbed the ball, and Williams took the inbounds pass.
"I had no idea how much we was left," Williams said, "I was just hoping we'd get a good shot."
He took his shot, a jumper from the top of the paint, and it swished with just three seconds left..
For Fists of Fury, the season ends with a final record of 1-3. The Ligerhawks will advance to the second round of the intramural tournament with an overall record of 3-0-1. Inferno 67, Pocket Rockets 44
Inferno scored 13 uncontested points in a second-half run that finished the Pocket Rockets season.
The 111th-ranked Pocket Rockets ended their season with a record of 1-2-1, while 18th-ranked Inferno remains undefeated with four wins this season.

The Pocket Rockets were whistled for a technical foul because of an unregistered player.
Inferno tied the game, then took the lead for good at the 10-minute mark.
"Over time we slowly started to make some shots and get back in the game." Trent Peter, Tribune junior, said.
They compensated for 41 percent shooting at the free throw line with a huge day from 3-point range. The team went 8-of-17 from behind the arc.
Inferno never fell far behind because of their solid defense.
The Pocket Rockets were denied second chances on shots throughout the second half, thanks to Inferno's rebounding efforts.

A cardboard box full of potato chips caught fire in the lobby of Allen Fieldhouse yesterday afternoon.
The box was in a heater, which contained various kinds of barbecue food that Bum Steer Bar-B-Q was going to sell at yesterday's game against Kansas State.
The KU Public Safety Office and the fire department responded and controlled the situation quickly.
"Now this is the real 'Phog' Allen Fieldhouse," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.

DIEVERENTIAL TUITION
CLAS students voice opinion through e-mail; Dean listens,scraps tuition increase plan
BY DANIEL BERK
AND NATE KARLIN
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
Students will not have to pay an extra $10 per credit hour for classes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences next semester.
Officials of the college curbed their proposal for differential tuition yesterday.
Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences.
decided not to propose the differential tuition plan to Chancellor Robert Hemenway after 75 percent of students voted against it in an e-mail survey sent out by the college. About 1,200 students responded to the e-mail that was sent to the entire student body.
"I think this is one of the greatest opportunities the University has ever had," Wilcox
said. "I'm personally very disappointed."
The college did not receive overall support for the differential tuition, according to its survey results.
Twenty-nine percent of voters in the college supported the tuition proposal and only 25 percent of voters outside of the college supported it.
The college will continue discussions about tuition and facilities. Wilcox said.
Right now the future is uncertain, he said.
Marynell Jones, member of the dean's student advisory board, said the work that she and the board did over the past year would not go to waste.
"There was still a lot of education done about the proposal." Jones, Dallas junior, said. "Students got to vote and their voice was heard so I don't think it was a waste."
"
think this is one of the
greatest opportunities the University has ever had.I'm personally very disappointed."
Kim Wilcox Dean of liberal arts and sciences
was a good day for students.
"People were saying the student voice didn't matter," he said. "Well, yes.it did because the dean listened."
The college and the advisory board would need to find a solution because the buildings still need renovation, Jones said.
Wilcox has been developing the details of the proposal for nearly a year.
He worked with his advisory board, comprised of about 20 students, to develop the specifics of the plan.
"My initial thought was to not invest student money in buildings." Wilcox said.
The students on the advisory board, however, convinced him to look further into using the money for buildings, he said.
"We said all along we would be guided by the students, and now we have a student recommendation." Hemenwav said.
The chancellor could still bring the proposal to the Kansas Board of Regents in May but that would be highly unlikely. Wilcox said.
Steve Munch, student body president, said it — Edited by Jennifer Voldness
The college will be the only school that will not charge extra tuition per credit hour next year if the School of Social Welfare's differential tuition proposal gets approved.
FINANCIAL AID
Federal loan program in question
Bush Administration budget proposal recommends cutting student aid
BY DANI LITT
dllt@kansan.com
dllt@kansan STAFF WRITE
The Bush Administration's 2006 budget proposal recommended the elimination of Perkins loans for students in higher education.
Perkins loans were limited loans given by the federal government to low-income students, said Barbara Maigaard, director of Student Financial Aid.
Tanika Seawood, Kansas
City, Kan., senior, said she would be in trouble if the proposal passed.
Perkins loans provided Seawood with $3,128 this year. She also received five grants and was part of the federal work-study program, totaling enough money to pay for all of her tuition, housing and book costs.
The funds for Perkins Loans would be eliminated and redirected to other student aid programs that the Administration finds more effective, such as Pell Grants, according to the budget proposal for the Department of Education.
"It's a tremendous help," Seawood said. "I couldn't afford school without it."
An assessment done by the Department of Education concluded that Perkins loans were ineffective because larger programs, such as the Federal Family Education Loan and Direct Loans, had greater availability to students.
"This program is duplicative and unnecessary given the broad availability of need-
based, subsidized, relatively low interest loans available through the two larger student loan programs," according to the budget proposal for the Department of Education.
Seawood will be the first child on both sides of her family to graduate from college.
She said the Bush Administration should take into consideration what it would take away from young adults if the loans were eliminated.

Students not cramming healthier food options
HEALTH

tbeaver@hanss.com
KANSAN START WRITER
As an employee at The Underground in Wescoe Hall, Amanda Faires, St. Louis sophomore, has seen the green Better Bites sign at The Underground's entrance. Unfortunately, because she never sees the logo on individual items, she never thinks about choosing a healthier option.
"It if it were more visible, I'd probably get it more often," she said.
Awareness of the Better Bites program has been an issue since the program arrived in Fall 2003, said Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietician. A new marketing campaign and other improvements will be implemented to improve the program's visibility and its appeal to students.
The posters will target each gender separately based upon perceptions of health and fitness, Chapman said.
Better Bites provides healthier eating options to students through KU D in i n g Services, vending machines and convenience stores such as the Hawk Shoe
such as the Hawk Shop.
She said that she was meeting in a few days to discuss the budget for the program. She said that she didn't know the program's costs and that current budget was too small.
Better Bites products are sometimes misplaced in the vending machines, Chapman said.
Some students have complained that non-Better Bites foods were being placed in slots with the logo on it.
Better Bites
Though the program expanded to vending machines and Hawk Shops last year, student awareness is still not where Chapman would like it to be.
A new marketing campaign with posters and an updated brochure is planned for release later this spring.
With student volunteers, Chapman is conducting a survey of vending machine stocking. It will be finished the week before spring break, she said.
Monitoring use of Better Bites is difficult, Chapman said, especially for the meals offered through KU Dining
Services.
Because the program is
the program in still a work in progress, it is u n k n o w n whether students consciously choose the healthier meals, said Nona Colladee, associate
director of residential
dining.
KU Dining Services does not gather statistics on how many Better Bites meals are produced.
Chapman plans to conduct surveys about student awareness and frequency of use of the program to gauge the Better Bites' importance.

If it were more visible, I'd probably get it more often."
Amanda Faires St. Louis sophomore
Of four students who were asked about the program, none of them had ever heard of the program.
"I like eating healthy most of the time," he said, "if it's easy to get."
Though he has eaten in The Underground, Jordan Goldschmidt, Wichita sophomore, never saw the signs advertising Better Bites. But he said it sounded like something he would use.
There are students who are aware of Better Bites. Whether they care about the program is another question.
Though he tries to eat healthy, Anthony Hildebrand, Lubbock, Texas, junior, said he wouldn't let a label for a healthier item stop him from getting something he wanted. He said he thought most students thought the same.
Sara Dixon, Derby senior, said people ate unhealthy food and needed to have something else available. But, she said she thinks the financial cost of a healthier meal is a big factor of a student's decision.

Liberty Hall festival includes students' diverse-subject films
BY NELI MULKA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Sachse should know — he's been in a lot campus restrooms for his film, "The Dump."
The best restrooms on campus are located on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union, Jason Sachse, Leavenworth senior, said.
"It's very clean and well-lit with windows," Sachse said. "We brought two-ply paper special for the occasion."
Sachse's film, about a man desperately seeking a working restroom, is one of seven films featured at "An Evening of Local Film at Liberty Hall."
The film festival starts at 9:45 p.m.
Monday in Liberty Hall, 644
Massachusetts St. Admission is $3.
This event is meant to show people that there is a film community in Lawrence, Matt Toplikar, Lawrence senior, said.
There is a lack of outlets for filmmakers to show their works to the general public. Sachse said.
Usually film students' work is limited to showings for friends or screenings at Oldfather Studios, 1621 W. Ninth St., Sachse said.
Film topics range from a man spending his first night alone in an apartment to skydiving.
Steven Bartkoski/KANSAN
Skydiving is a topic that Chris Burket, Kingman senior, worked on for a year with his film, "Eves on the Sky."
"Eyes on the Sky" is a 16-minute collection of skydiving clips by Burket and other aerial vidoeograppers set to rock 'n' roll and techno music.
Burket had to log 200 jumps before he was prepared to film his jumps, which he did by attaching a camera to his helmet.
Matt Toplikar, Lawrence senior, acts in front of the camera that Allan Well, Lawrence resident, has set up on the stage at Liberty Hall. Toplikar and Well were shooting the introduction video for the Student Film Festival, which will be shown at Liberty Hall Monday Night.
"When you have a camera on your head you need to look out for it," Burket said. "The parachute lines could catch it."
Burket, who jumped 630 times, wanted to show audiences a sport that doesn't get much mainstream attention.
In addition to the short films there will be a music video of the band 10 Hour Drive made by Burket.
If this festival is successful,
Topilkar plans to have another one
this summer in Liberty Hall.
Promotional trailers for upcoming student films will be shown before the festival begins.
Oh, and the worst bathroom of them all?
"Second floor Robinson," Sachse said. "It was dark, with one stall and its walls would tip over when you touch it."

A giant palm tree stands atop of Daisy Hill. Its giant leaves span the width of the windows of Lewis Hall. After a year break, the traditional Lewis Hall Luau is back tomorrow night.
The tradition of the Luau is at least 20 years old, Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said.
Funds for the event were used for other programs last year, said Shelly Roben-Leojik, Lewis and Templin Hall complex director.
As a part of the tradition, a non-alcoholic tiki bar, video games and karaoke will be featured.
The total cost for the Luau was $3,000. she said.

Roben-Lojaka said Student Housing sets aside $17 per person based on the previous year's occupancy in Lewis for hall programming.
The hall also received $1,000 from the Coke programming Sub-committee and $750 from the Association of University Residence Halls for the Luau.
"The point of this is to have strong programming for our residents so they feel a sense of community," Roben-Lojka said. "We'd like them to have some fun things to experience while they're with us."
If the residence hall was to maximize its potential — about 275 students — it would receive $4,675 a year for programming.
Greg Wellnitz, AURH representative for Lewis and Templin Halls, said he worked many Monday nights until 11 with the executive boards of Lewis and Templin to organize the event.
"If we didn't put on these programs, it would just be a dorm," Wellnitz said. "The Luau will give students a good idea of what it's like

Lewis is not the only hall on Daisy Hill to have large social gatherings. Templin, Hashinger, Ellsworth and McCollum Halls also hold traditional events throughout the year.
Leon Hayner, complex director for Ellsworth and Hashinger, said a small percentage of students' room and board fees pay for the events like "Hashoween," a costume party held in the Hashinger Hall Theater.

All students are invited to the free Luau. About 300 people are expected to attend the event which will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Lewis Hall.

Supreme Court sifts over religious symbol
LEGISLATION
BY HOPE YEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — With demonstrators shouting religious slogans outside, Supreme Court justices questioned, argued and fretted yesterday over whether Ten Commandments displays on government property cross the line of separation between church and state.
Back-to-back arguments in cases from Texas and Kentucky were the court's first consideration of the issue since 1980, when justices ruled the Ten Commandments could not be displaced in public schools.
Clearly reluctant to adopt a blanket ban, the current justice wrestled with the role that religious symbols should play in public life — right down to the Ten
Commandments display in their own courtroom.
Several expressed support for a 6-foot granite monument on the grounds of the Texas state Capitol, but were less certain about framed copies of the commandments in two Kentucky courthouses.
"If an atheist walks by, he can avert his eyes." Justice Anthony Kennedy said in a courtroom filled with spectators, many of whom could be seen glancing at the court's frieze of Moses carrying the tablets.
Banning the Texas display might "show hostility to religion," he said.
The court ruled in 1983 that legislative prayer is allowable, citing its historical significance, but in 1992 said prayer in public schools is not because students may feel pressure to participate.

Sorority reports prowler to police
Lawrence police responded to a report of a prowler outside the Sigma Kappa sorority house Tuesday night.
Police arrived at the house, 1325 West Campus Road, at around 8:30 p.m. that night after some women in the house reported seeing a man outside who was looking into the windows, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
The man has not yet been identified or located.
Joshua Bicket
As of yesterday afternoon, the police report had not been filed, so it is unknown if police are investigating the situation any further, Ward said.
The man was seen hiding in bushes near the house and was described as wearing black clothes, glasses and a backpack. Ward said.
Shelley Hellman, president of Sigma Kappa, said that the police were immediately notified and the situation was under control.
School ranks third in research grants
Pharmacy research at the University of Kansas has placed the University third in the nation for acquiring funds from The National Institutes of Health. Sixty-four schools were ranked.
Ranking was based solely on research grants from the 2004 fiscal year. The School of Pharmacy received $13 million in funding from the institute. The school has been in the top five in funding for six out of the past seven years, said Todd Cohen. University Relations.
Cohen, University of California "The ranking shows that the University is significant," Cohen said. "We have top flight researchers and, although the University has grown, we have maintained a high standard."
High ranks can help the University's ranking as a whole, Cohen said.

Kline seeks details of underage cases
TOPEKA — Attorney General Phill Kline plans to discuss today a brief he will file with the Kansas Supreme Court as part of his effort to force two abortion clinics to turn over medical records of nearly 90 women and girls.
Kline has said he needs the materials for an investigation into underage sex and illegal late-term abortions. He plans to hold a news conference to talk about the case at 2 p.m.
Kline is seeking records of women who sought abortions at the clinics during or after their 22nd week of pregnancy. The two unnamed clinics are fighting Kline's request, citing doctor-patient confidentiality.
The clinics have said the records Kline wants include patient's name, medical history, details of her sex life, birth control practices and psychological profile.

BTK arrest concerns suspect's pastor
CRIME
DNA: SILENT WITNESS
A newspaper with a headline referring to the BTK killings lays in the front yard of Dennis Rader's home in Park City yesterday. Rader, the churchgoing family man and Cub Scout leader accused of leading a double life as the BTK serial killer, was charged Tuesday with 10 counts of first-degree murder.

"We are not going to cut him off. I could tell that he was relieved," Michael Clark, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Wichita, told The Associated Press. "He is still a part of the body of Christ — and that is something some people will have a hard time hearing."
WICHITA — The pastor of the church whose leaders include the suspect in the BTK serial killings talked to Dennis Rader in jail yesterday and told him he would continue to be a part of the congregation.
Clark declined to disclose more details of his 45-minute conversation with Rader, citing confidentiality as his pastor. They spoke a day after Rader was formally charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder in the serial killings that had haunted Wichita for the past three decades.
"His demeanor seemed to be OK." Clark-said. "He seems to be handling things as well as he can."
Since the BTK killer's first slayings in 1974, investigators have searched for the man who gave himself the "Bind, Torture, Kill" nickname and taunted police with letters and packages sent to media outlets. BTK had been wanted for eight killings for years, but when authorities announced Rader's arrest Saturday they alleged he also had committed two other murders, the latest in 1991.
For now, Rader remains president of the church council—although he will eventually have to relinquish some church leadership positions, Clark said.
The case has shaken Clark's church since Friday, when detectives arrived with a search warrant and informed the pastor of Rader's arrest in connection with the BTK killings.
Rader used the computer at least once, when he printed out a council agenda in late January. Clark said. The pastor said he had to show Rader how to put the disk into the computer and use it.
learned from Rader's family later that police had taken a DNA sample from Rader's daughter, but he did not know any other details. He stressed that the daughter did not turn her father in as a local media outlet had reported.
Clark was so dumbfounded he asked detectives to repeat their information three times. He gave police a list of 10 to 15 people, including Rader, who had access to the church computer.
The Rader family, which has been in seclusion, may be ready to make a public statement in a week or so, he said.
A diskette authorities said was sent by the BTK killer to a television station apparently contained an electronic imprint that identified the church computer. Clark said.
For now, the pastor wants to focus on helping his congregation through these "dark times."
Although he looked haggard as he prepared for church services last night, Clark said, "This will be a source of power and strength in our congregation. ... I don't think we have to be victims — I think we can come out stronger."
A preliminary hearing has been set for March 15 for Rader, who appears unlikely to face the death penalty.

If students weren't able to get the loans, it would probably cause more unemployment because more teenagers would not have the opportunity to go to college, Seawood said.
The University of Kansas was given $30,000 a year for the Perkins Loan Program, an amount determined by the federal government for each school.
This year, the University awarded about $3 million in Perkins loans to 892 students. When students pay back their loans, their money goes directly to the school they got the loans from and the money is reused, Maigaard said.
"We have not seen clear detection whether or not they are going to cancel the current money we receive annually or if they will make us give back all the money we have as a result of Perkins loans," she said.
Maigaard said the impact on students would be determined after it was clear what the Bush Administration would do with the money from Perkins loans.
Students are consolidating their loans and paying them back together because interest rates are at an all-time low of 2.77 percent.
There were other viable options for students, but they did not have the same benefits of the Perkins loan, she said.
Benefits such as low, fixed interest rates, loan forgiveness under certain circumstances and the opportunity to postpone loan repayment make the Perkins loan a practical option for students.
"The Perkins loan program is a small program." Maigaard said. "But to those students it is very important to their funding."
If the budget proposal passes, Maigaard said the Office of Student Financial Aid would continue to provide information about other federal loan programs such as alternative loans and the parent loans.
Students must apply by the March 1 deadline each year to be eligible for a Perkins loan. They must also show their need for assistance by having an expected family contribution to attendance of less than $5,000. They may receive anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000 in Perks loans each year.

Fire

Spector said most of the basketball players he saw leaving the gym where they were practicing seemed confused.
Campers were evacuated pretty quickly, he said.
The oven was removed from the fieldhouse and a fire extinguisher was used to put out the flames.
"It looked like a camp fire," Spector said.
Marchiony said that the hallways and the floor would be cleared of the smoke between 45 minutes and one hour.
He said he hoped fans wouldn't realize there had been a fire.
In the two seasons Marchiony has been at the University, he said a fire had never occurred.
The fire department continued to monitor the atmosphere of the building until the start of the men's basketball game.
Two fire engines and several police cars responded to the small fire.

End of the line for titanic lobster
PITTSBURGH — He may have survived two world wars and Prohibition. But a trip to the zoo proved too much for a 22-pound lobster named Bubba.
The leviathan of a lobster died yesterday afternoon at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, about a day after he was moved from Wholey's Market, said zoo spokeswoman Rachel Capp and fish market owner Bob Wholey.
"They're very finicky, it could have been a change in the water. You have no idea," Wholey said.
Bubba spent a week at the market after he was pulled from the waters off Nantucket, Mass. He died in a quarantine area of the zoo's aquarium, where he was being checked to see if he was healthy enough to make a trip to an aquarium at a Ripley's Believe it or not museum, Capp said.
Bubba will be examined to try to determine the cause of death; Capp and Wholey guessed it may have been the stress of being moved.
Based on how long it typically takes a lobster to reach
eating size — about five to seven years to grow to a pound — some estimated Bubba was about 100 years old. Marine biologists said 30 to 50 years was more likely.

State scales back outdated statutes
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Fishermen often utter obscenities and throw their catch back in the water after hooking the long, skinny, ugly fish known as a garfish.
What they probably don't know is that, according to Alabama law, they are supposed to suddenly become the garfish's executioner.
The Alabama House passed a bill Tuesday to repeal a 1943 law requiring fishermen who catch a garfish — also called "junk fish" or "trash fish" — to kill it rather than throw it back in the water to be caught again.
Rep. Jeff McLaughlin said the bill he sponsored is part of his effort to highlight some of Alabama's archaic laws and outdated language in the state constitution.

WASHINGTON — They might as well put up a "help wanted" sign at the Pentagon.
ociated Press
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has a number of important leadership posts to fill, including chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, top Navy and Air Force jobs and Rumsfeld's own policy chief.
OP
The changes, all of which require approval by the Senate, will influence the course of the Bush administration's defense policies and the future shape of a military that is under great strain. They also will say a lot about Rumsfeld's vision for transforming the Pentagon bureaucracy.
"Secretary Rumsfeld is gradually putting his stamp on the entire Pentagon in terms of who has power and what ideas prevail," said Loren Thompson, a private analyst who closely watches the Pentagon and the military services.
At the top of the list is Rumsdef's hunt for a successor to Gen. Richard Myers as chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Myers is due to retire in September, and Rumsdef also must replace the vice chairman, Gen. Peter Pace.
would be the first Marine to serve as Joint Chiefs chairman and only the second vice chairman to be promoted to the top spot. Myers was the first.
Myers, 65, and Pace, 59, have headed the Joint Chiefs since Oct. 1, 2001, at the start of the global war on terrorism. Pace
Besides Pace, a name often mentioned inside the Pentagon as a potential Joint Chiefs chairman is Adm. Edmund Giambastiani, commander of Joint Forces Command and a former senior military aide to Rumsfeld.
A more immediate concern is getting a new civilian chief of the Air Force, which is suffering what a senior official of that service, Marvin Sambur, recently described as a leadership vacuum. James Roche quit under fire as secretary in January, and since then the second-in-command, Peter B. Teets, has been the acting secretary.
Rumsfeld has recommended to President Bush that he nominate Navy Secretary Gordon England to replace Roche as Air Force secretary, said two officials familiar with the plan.
England started as Navy secretary in May 2001, then switched to the No. 2 spot at the Department of Homeland Security in January 2003, only to return to the Navy post nine months later after President Bush's choice for that job, New Mexico oilman Colin McMillan, died from what authorities called suicide by gunshot.

Pilot Steve Fossett talks to a member of the ground crew as he prepares to take off in the GlobalFlyer at the Salina Municipal Airport in Salina Monday. Fossett embarked on a trip to fly the GlobalFlyer around the world nonstop without refuelling. Fossett discovered a problem with the fuel system of his custom-built plane yesterday, but decided not to stop the expedition.
SALINA — Millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett decided yesterday to press ahead with his attempt to fly around the world solo without refueling, despite a serious problem with the plane's fuel system.
Fossett and his flight crew agreed yesterday afternoon to keep the GlobalFlyer in the air rather than abandoning the record-setting attempt and turning back for a landing in Japan.
Fossett discovered the problem with the fuel system of the custom-built plane early yesterday. Once the GlobalFlyer reaches Hawaii, a critical transfer of fuel from outer tanks to the plane's center booms will be complete and the team will know more precisely how much fuel is left.
Project manager Paul Moore said fuel sensors in the 13 tanks differ from readings of how quickly the plane's single jet engine was burning fuel. Moore said the crew had been forced to assume that 2,600 pounds of the original 18,100 pounds of fuel "disappeared" early in the flight.
It was not clear whether the problem was with the instruments that track how much fuel remains or if some fuel had been lost because of a leak, Fossett's team said.
Fossett, 60, still might be able to finish the flight on his original path, if a tail wind in the jet stream remains strong enough to push him across the Pacific.
He was heading east over the Pacific Ocean, and the team expected to decide last night, after reaching Hawaii, whether to continue on to the U.S. mainland, some seven hours away.
Before the fuel problem was discovered, Fossett had estimated he would complete the 23,000-mile journey at midday today. He
Fossett already holds the record for flying solo around the globe in a balloon, as well as dozens of other aviation and sailing records.
"This is a huge setback," Fossett said from the plane, according to a statement issued by his staff. "I have not that high a level of confidence at this point."
took off Monday from Salina.
The project is being financed by Virgin Atlantic founder Sir Richard Branson, a longtime friend and fellow adventurer.
The first nonstop global flight without refueling was made in 1986 by Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan, brother of GlobalFlyer designer Burt Rutan.

Mad-cow concerns keep border closed
BILLINGS, Mont. — A federal judge yesterday blocked the reopening of the U.S. border to cattle and expanded beef imports from Canada because of mad-cow fears.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture had planned to reopen the border on Monday. But after a U.S. livestock group objected, U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull granted a temporary order preventing the action.
United Stockgrowers of America had argued that the USDA plan would pose a risk to both consumers and U.S. cattle producers.

The Canadian cattle industry has been devastated by the U.S. beef ban, with losses amounting to about $5.6 billion.
Student shoots school bus driver
CUMBERLAND CITY, Tenn.
— A 14-year-old boy was charged with shooting a school bus driver to death as she drove her morning route yesterday. A relative of the driver said she had reported the boy a day earlier for using smokeless tobacco on the bus.
None of the 24 students on the bus, ranging from kindergarten to the 12th grade, were hurt, even though the bus crashed into a utility pole after driver Joyce Gregory was shot.

Bombing suspect had sketch,data
MADRID, Spain — A suspect in the Madrid train bombings was found to possess a sketch and technical details about Grand Central Terminal in New York, U.S. officials confirmed yesterday.
The sketch and data were on a computer disk seized about two weeks after the March 11 train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 people last year, the newspaper El Mundo said.
Spanish police turned the disk over to the U.S. agents from the FBI and CIA in December once they understood the scope of the technical data, the report said.

Gates becomes honorary knight
LONDON — Proclaiming himself "humbled and delighted," Microsoft founder Bill Gates received the accolade of honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in a private ceremony at Buckingham Palace yesterday.
The 49-year-old billionaire was honored for his charitable activities around the world and his contribution to high-tech enterprise in Britain.
Microsoft's British facilities include Research Cambridge. In 2000, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a donation of $210 million to Cambridge University.

Hippo kills tourist at Kenvan resort
Hussein Malla/ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAIVASHA, Kenya — A hip-popotamus flipped and trampled an Australian tourist to death at a popular resort in central Kenya, police said Tuesday.
Opposition demonstrators wave Lebanese flags during a celebration one day after the government's resignation in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday. Lebanon's president was taking on the task of forming a new government Tuesday, while opposition leaders shook off the jubilation of using people power to force out a pro-Syrian Cabinet and sought to ensure the next one is less beholden to Damascus.
No one else was injured in the attack.
Vicky Elizabeth Bartlett, 50,
was with a group of 12 tourists
at Lake Naivasha on Monday
night when the hippo attacked,
said Simon Kiragu, the regional
police chief.
Wildlife experts say hippos can pose extreme danger to humans. The animals come on shore at night to graze and will attack anything that comes between them and the water, where they feel safe.
Bush insists Syria leave Lebanon now
The Associated Press
Lebanon
WORLD POLITICS
BY NEDRA PICKLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARNOLD, Md. — President Bush yesterday demanded in blunt terms that Syria get out of Lebanon, and said the free world was in agreement that Damascus' authority over the political affairs of its neighbor must end now.
He applauded the strong message sent to Syria when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier held a joint news conference on London on Tuesday.
"Both of them stood up and said loud and clear to Syria, 'You get your troops and your secret services out of Lebanon so that good democracy has a chance to flourish." Bush said during an appearance at a community college in Maryland to toit his job training programs.
The world, Bush said, "is speaking with one voice when it comes to making sure that democracy has a chance to flourish in Lebanon."
The president's words, taken with those from Rice and others in the Bush administration this week, amount to the strongest pressure to date on Syria from Washington.
"Syria knows the concerns of the international community, and they know what they need to do to change their behavior
and become a constructive member of the region and the international community." White House press secretary Scott McClellan said earlier yesterday.
Turkish ambassador Osman Faruk Logoglu urged the administration to offer trade and other economic and diplomatic incentives to Syria.
"The chances of Syria withdrawing are greater than ever before," Logoglu told reporters. "But it is obviously going to take a long time."
Rice, in London to attend an international conference on Palestinian security and government reform, had said Tuesday that Syria is "out of step" with a growing desire for democracy in the Middle East.
The Bush administration also
on Tuesday blamed terrorists based in Syria for last week's deadly suicide attack in Israel.
McClellan said the White House had "firm evidence" that Syria was home base for the terrorist attack in Israel that rocked the latest efforts for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Bush made a similar point during a White House meeting with congressional leaders, participants said, and so did Rice while in London.
Yesterday, Rice returned to Washington and had lunch at the White House and an Oval Office meeting with Bush, McCellan said.
All key Lebanese political decisions are assumed to have a stamp of approval from the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Huge street demonstrations and Monday's resignation of the pro-Syrian Lebanese government marked the most serious challenge to Syrian authority in Lebanon since the end of the civil war that killed 150,000 and crushed the Lebanese economy in the 1970s and 1980s.
The events also are an opening for the Bush administration to press its wider goal of democracy across the Middle East and to throw a spotlight on what the United States contends is longstanding Syrian support for terrorists who are trying to undermine progress toward Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Talks on Iraqi coalition government hit snag
BY RAWYA RAGEH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Talks aimed at forging a coalition government faltered yesterday over Kurdish demands for more land and concerns that the dominant Shiite alliance seeks to establish an Islamic state.
The snag in negotiations between Shiite and Kurdish leaders in northern Iraq came as clashes and two car bombings in Baghdad killed at least 14 Iraqi soldiers and police officers — the latest in a relentless wave of violence since elections Jan. 30.
The group led by Iraq's most wanted terrorist, Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi, purportedly claimed responsibility in an Internet posting for yesterday's clashes and at least one of the bombings, as it had for a suicide car bombing Monday that killed 125 people in Hillah, a town south of the capital.
"The bombings in Hillah and again in Baghdad this morning are not going to derail the political process that Iraq is embarked upon." National Security Adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie said yesterday. "The Iraqi government will go after and hunt down each and
Shiite and Kurdish leaders, Iraq's new political powers, however, failed to reach agreement after two days of negotiations in the northern city of Irbil, with the clergy-backed candidate for prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, leaving with only half the deal he needed.
The Shiite-led United Iraqi Alliance, which has 140 seats in the 275-member National Assembly, hopes to win backing from the 75 seats held by Kurdish political parties so t can muster the required two-
thirds majority for post top posts in the new government.
Al-Jaafari indicated after the talks that the alliance was ready to accept a Kurdish demand that one of its leaders,jalal Tabali,become president.
However, he would not commit to other demands, including the expansion of Kurdish autonomous areas south to the oil-rich city of Kirkuk.
Kurdish leaders have demanded constitutional guarantees fqr their northern regions, including selfrule and reversal of the "Arabization" of Kirkuk and other northern areas. Saddam Hussein
relocated Iraqi Arabs to the region in a bid to secure the oil fields there.
Politicians had hoped to convene the new parliament by Sunday. But Ali Faish, of the Shiite Political Council, said the date was now "postponed" and that a new date had not been set.
The Kurds, he added, were "the basis of the problem" in the negotiations.
"The Kurds are wary about al-Jaafar's nomination to head the government. They are concerned that a strict Islamic government might be formed," al-Faisal said. "Negotiations and dialogue are ongoing."

THE CROSSWORD CAN WAIT
Global tensions have real consequences, even for us
PAGE 7A
Rafik Harari was a selfmade billionaire, almost an anomaly in the small Middle-Eastern country of Lebanon. He had enough money that he didn't have to ever go back. He could have cut all ties to his native country, Lebanon, and I don't think anyone would have blamed him
MATT SEVCIK
msevcik@kansan.com
He became their Prime Minister from 1992 to 1998, and again from 2000 to 2004. During this time, many of the financial operations conducted by the newly formed Lebanese government were initiated and funded through his political and fiscal power. Time and again he put money into Lebanon.
But Harari's sacrifices for Lebanon are not limited to money he contributed. On Feb. 14, 2005, while people across our nation thought they were having a bad day just because they didn't get a Valentine's Day card, the explosive equivalent of 650 pounds of TNT went off in the direction of Harari's limousine, killing him and nine others.
The Syrians have been blamed inconclusively, but due to their occupation of Lebanon and the military presence they maintain, Harari's death has sparked an outrage amongst the international community.
Just to give some background, there are over 15,000 troops currently occupying Lebanon, and the Lebanese have never been very happy about it.
Neither has the United States. Shortly after Harari's assassination, the United States recalled its ambassador. In international politics, this is a diplomatic slap on the wrist.
In a series of about the smartest political moves ever, Syria feels the noose tightening around its neck, and decides to ally itself with Iran. Very smart, Syria.
Iran, if you have forgotten, just recently signed a deal with Russia where Russia would provide them with material that could be used to create nuclear arms. Very smart. Russia.
Iran says that it wants to use the nuclear material to power the country, but last time I checked, OPEC's second largest oil contributor doesn't need nuclear power that desperately.
President Bush, our resident diplomat, has not ruled out military force with Iran and Syria, but said "we're in the early stages of diplomacy" with them.
Unfortunately, the only Bush diplomacy I've seen is the kind of diplomacy that involves rushing into war, despite any doubts to the intelligence that said war's justification is based on, not to mention adhering to policies that I believe blatantly disregard the troops' well-being. Very smart, Bush.
And because they didn't want to feel left out, middle-eastern hate magnet and simultaneous United States ally, Israel, has decided to help ease
the tension by claiming that they are ready and willing to attack Syria. Very smart, Israel.
And last, North Korea announced that they have nuclear weapons, and the reason they possess these weapons is to protect their country from what they called aggressive
American foreign policy. Very smart, North Korea.
The reason I point out all of these very smart moves is to show you that if our American leaders do not conduct about the best diplomatic negotiating possible in the next few years, more war is not only possible, but I think it's imminent.
Unfortunately, our President has lost almost all of his credibility as far as convincing us when we need to commit our troops to a worthy cause. There are a lot of people out there that understandably say "there is no justification for bloodshed ever," but remember that they are only free to say this as a direct result of the bloodshed of America's military.
The ultimate goal of any peace-keepers, America's military especially, is to live in a peaceful world where everyone jumps up and down and shares their candy. But we won't be in a position to achieve this goal unless we maintain the freedoms we currently have, even if that means by force.
I hope we don't go to another war, but our world is a tempest right now, and few realize it. They will realize it when their draft notice comes in the mail.
Right now, our military is an all-volunteer organization. It is full of men and women who believe in America, and believe in protecting the liberties it provides. I think everyone should know that if we enter another war, justified or not, we will need more men and women. If Iraq has taught us nothing else, it is that our most precious commodity, personnel, is not an infinite resource.
We all have a question to ask ourselves right now. Will our generation have the courage and will-power to stand up for nations around the world that don't have the freedom to choose their own government? Will we stand up for people who face genocide and poverty for no better reason than their leaders are greedy, power-hungry assholes?
I know the current administration's recent actions don't have a lot of people confident that we are fighting the good fight, and there are a lot of people that are mad as hell that Bush has lost that confidence, but can we really sit back and watch countries like Syria and North Korea threaten and bully people into submission? Do only the wealthy citizens of America deserve freedom?
I'm not calling for a war. I'm calling for us to be aware. Be aware that there are people in this world that hate democracy. They hate that it takes away their power, and gives it to the people.
There's writing on the wall. America needs to start reading it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Universitybowlingcoach'sdedication will be missed by both bowlingteams
After 21 years of service to the Kansas Union Jaybowl and the University of Kansas men's and women's bowling teams, Mike Fine will be leaving the University of Kansas at the end of this academic year.
During his tenure, Mike Fine has overseen the transformation of the Jaybowl into a bright and popular student recreation center.
From his very early days at the University, Mike Fine's dream was to renovate the Jaybowl with 12 new lanes, new automatic scoring, seating, gutters, and modern interior design.
All of these improvements have happened under his leadership at the Kansas Union Jaybowl.
Mike Fine also had a strong desire to build his bowling program into a national powerhouse that would compete for the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships title every year.
But what we'll miss most about Mike Fine at the University is his leadership and mentoring to the students of KU. In my years as a University student and athlete, I have never seen someone affect student's lives in a positive manner as much as Mike Fine. While his coaching and mentoring abilities have turned some of his athletes into fantastic bowlers, his leadership qualities and skills have made so many students into great human beings.
Under his leadership, the men's team won its first national championship in 2004, and the women's team has advanced to the national championships several times. His coaching, organization and knowledge of the sport have put KU bowling in the national spotlight.
I only wish I had learned as much about the game of bowling from Mike as I learned about being a good person.

Students protect pocketbook vote down CLAS referendum
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences wants money to renovate buildings on campus, but it will have to look elsewhere than student's pockets.
University of Kansas students were given the opportunity to vote on an online referendum that was dressed up as a survey. Voters overwhelmingly rejected it: only 25 percent of the 1,247 voters thought it was a good idea.
CLAS called the vote "an unprecedented
CLAS called the move." Talk about overstating it. It is, after all, the student's money they're asking for. Why shouldn't they have a say, and why would it be considered unprecedented?
Perhaps it is because the University has arbitrarily raised tuition faster than the rate of inflation over the past several years that students are soured about the prospect of paving more
Maybe if the quality of education here had actually gone up, perhaps the money would mean something. But to Baxter, the only thing he can see that's been done is the Student Recreation Fitness Center. That was built after Student Senate passed an initiative, but it still came out of student's pockets. Baxter's priority isn't having a nice gym or a building with bells and whistles, but what goes on in the classrooms in that building.
The differential tuition act got three out of four thumbs down. Wilcox got the proposal wrong, but did the right thing in not pursuing against student's wishes.
money. It's gotten to the point where some students feel they're getting priced out of an education they once thought was a value.
Kris Baxter, Wichita junior, said the price of his education isn't what he bargained for.
Baxter came to the University in part because of what tuition was at the time. He knew how much he was going to have to pay, and what amount of work it would take to pay tuition.
"One of the reasons I came to KU was it was a good deal; you didn't have to worry about paying these fees." Baxter said. "If I would have known I was going to pay this much, I wouldn't have come here in the first place."
"One of the reasons I came to KU was it was a good deal." Baxter said.
Working 20 to 30 hours a week used to suffice, but now he has to take out loans on top of that because of incremental tuition hikes.
Baxter said the $50 per hour increase for CLAS classes didn't seem bad on the face of it — "maybe a few beers" — but even beyond the money, there is the princeple that the University raises costs anyway.
"They keep doing it," Baxter said. "It's the University asking themselves 'How are we going to get more money here, more money there?'"
"It's nice to go to classes in good looking buildings, but I want to go to school." Baxter said. "Meanwhile, the quality of education hasn't gone up."
fruits of their checking account's labor?
CLAS dean Kim Wilcox has said that better buildings will attract better faculty. But what about those students who are sophomores and juniors, whose money will go into CLAS's pot, but won't be around to see the
Wilcox said those students should shell out the differential tuition because they should have pride in the University. It is in this respect that Wilcox has failed to enact a reasonable request for the increased tuition.
Does Wescoe look horrible? Yes. Could other campus buildings use a facelift? You bet. Would it help make the University better? Probably. Should students right now have to pay for it? According to 75 percent of the respondents, no chance in hell they should, at least not the way Wilcox dressed it up.
Wilcox should be commended for his effort. No one can say that Wilcox and the students who spent countless hours with to devise and present the proposal don't care about the University. But maybe most of all, he should be commended for finally listening to what students want. Wilcox could probably push the hike through without anyone's input, but there's a lot to be said for someone who puts the wishes of others in front of their own initiative. But then again, three out of every four people are fairly hard to argue against.

New director finds CIA position daunting
BY RYAN PEARSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — In a rare public appearance yesterday, CIA Director Porter Goss said he was overwhelmed by the many duties of his job, including devoting five hours out of every day to prepare for and deliver intelligence briefings to President Bush.
"The jobs I'm being asked to do, the fives hat that I wear, are too much for this mortal," Goss said. "I'm a little amazed at the workload."
Goss praised Bush's choice for the new job of national intelligence director, John Negroponte. The career diplomat, who is expected to be confirmed by the Senate, will take over several of the duties currently assigned to Goss, including the presidential briefing.
Goss, who has made few public comments beyond congressional testimony, also said the legislation creating the position of director of national intelligence left him unclear on his future role.
"It's got a huge amount of ambiguity in it," he said. "I don't know by law what my direct relationship is with John
Negroponte," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld or other top officials involved with intelligence.
Despite the confusion, Goss praised Negroponte's selection.
"I hold him in the very highest regard," he said, noting that the two attended Yale at the same time. "The intelligence community is going to be strengthened and unified and more effective than it has ever been."
Goss' remarks came during an hourlong address at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, before an audience of more than 200 that included former first lady Nancy Reagan. Tickets to the event were sold to the public for $45.
Goss, a CIA clandestine officer for 10 years who retired in 1972, said it took him five hours every day to prepare and deliver the president's daily briefing, calling Bush "a voracious consumer of intelligence."
Legislation signed by Bush in December created a national intelligence center and the powerful new position Negroponte was nominated for. He will oversee the nation's 15 separate intelligence agencies.
Goss will remain head of the CIA but under the legislation loses his title as director of central intelligence. He said his role under the overhauled system would likely depend on Bush.
"Any president ... is going to pick the way he or she wants the intelligence community to serve him or her," he said.
Even after the nation's intelligence overhaul, he said, "the CIA is going to continue to be the flagship of the intelligence community."
Goss succeeded George Tenet, the CIA chief for seven years who was criticized for intelligence failures leading up to the Iraq war. Tenet also reportedly assured Bush there was "slam dunk" evidence showing Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. Such weapons have not been found.
Since Goss arrived at the CIA in September, more than a dozen senior officials have left and some critics complain he has politicized the agency by hiring Republican aides.
Goss said reforms were needed and the "agency is pretty much around the corner." He said the CIA was "substantially increasing" its number of analysts and field officers.

Explosion in China kills 20 children
BEIJING — A cache of explosives at the mine manager blew up in a town in northern China, killing at least 20 children at a nearby grade school, news reports said earlier today.
The explosion occurred yesterday in Kecheng, a town in Shanxi province, one of China's biggest coal-mining regions, newspapers-reported.
"Grade school students who were in class were buried," the Shanxi Commercial News said. "At least 20 people are dead."
The mine manager, identified as Lu Maolin, was among the dead and his wife was injured, the Commercial News and the Shanxi
Evening News reported. They said an unspecified number of injured children from the Beixin Village Elementary School were hospitalized.
A man who answered the phone at the county government office said he had no additional information and calls to local fire and other offices weren't answered.

FOR THE WEEKEND

STATE
Wayne Simien, senior forward, battles for a rebound against Kansas State's jeremiah Massey, senior forward, during the first half of last night's game in Allen Fieldhouse. Simien set a career high of 20 rebounds during the 72-65 victory. The game was he and the other Kansas seniors' last game in the fieldhouse.
I will do my best.
Last night déjà vu all over again
Of course, back then, the house that Phog built was still just an unchristened mass of bricks and steel, not yet haunted by the ghosts of basketball past or imbued with the mystique the building carries today. The Big 12 and Big 8 Conference Championship banners and All-American jerseys that now hang majestically on the walls and from the rafters were still waiting to be earned. The hallways were bare of most of the trophies and photos and plaques that are so pervasive today. And though icons like Allen and James Naismith and Adolph Rupp had already begun the Kansas basketball legacy, other icons were still waiting for their fieldhouse moments.
JOE BANT
jbant@kansan.com
Fifty years ago nearly to the day, Kansas and Kansas State played the first ever basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks' Gene Elstun scored 21 points, and coach Phog Allen led his team to a 77-66 victory in the contest.
Wilt Chamberlain, the man, the myth, the legend, was still playing ball at Overbrook High School in Pennsylvania. Danny Manning and the Miracles wouldn't shock the country for another 33 years. And the pantheon of great Kansas coaches and players that followed the days of Allen was still waiting in the wings, most of its heroes not even born yet. Fast forward a half century, and it seems fitting that the last home game of the fieldhouse's 50th season would also be against Kansas State and also result in a Kansas victory. In fact, if you closed your eyes, last night was almost that night over again, with the Jayhawks rolling to victory and 17,000 plus fans — yes, there were that many on the fieldhouse's opening night — roaring approval.
O one play said it all last night.
Of course, many things were fitting about last night's game. The four seniors got to go out top,
In the larger scheme of things, it wasn't instrumental in the Jayhawks' 72-65 victory against Kansas State. Most likely, it was forgotten after Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles, Mike Lee and Keith Langford provided Kansas fans with a one-hour send off after the game.
In a span of 20-seconds, the four seniors showed what they were all about.
SEE BANT ON PAGE 5B
About three minutes into the game, a K-State player missed a shot. Before the ball could even bounce off the rim, Big Dub ripped the ball down with his enormous hands.
A second later, he hit Mike Lee with an outlet pass. Lee took one dribble and sent it down the floor to Aaron Miles. Miles penetrated, drew the defense and found Langford, who spotted up on the opposite side of the court.
Money ball!
Game guarantees Kansas at least part of Big 12 title; seniors choked up at last home contest of season
The fact that the ball went through the hands of the four seniors and ended up in the bottom of the net is pretty much symbolic of the last four years. This team includes Kansas' all-time assist leader, two players with at least 1,400 career points and a valuable locker room leader.
"This is a special group," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I love coaching these guys. I love chewing on them. I love going to practice with them every day."
A lot of kids missed their bed times last night. Few fans left, and these guys had a lot to say. Collectively, the four guys talked for more than an hour last
Sure, 16,300 fans crammed into Allen Fieldhouse to see Kansas beat Kansas State.

night — but the fans were interested.
Of all the laughs, tears and random babbles, Wayne Simien said something that embodied how these four feel about each other.
A couple of days ago, somebody asked him to describe each of his classmates.
"I can't think of anything that can separate us. We're going to leave as winners," Simien said. "How many assists Aaron dished out, how many clutch shots Keith hit, how many times Mike dove on the ball or how many rebounds I got."
"When they think of one they are going to think of us all."
A funny thing happened with Simien
yesterday. Anticipating the guys would be nervous, Self said he walked up to Simien during the shoot around and asked how he was feeling.
"He almost broke down right there," Self said with a chuckle. "I've never had a guy do that."
Simien was fine during the game. He scored 25 points and pulled down a career-high 20 rebounds. But he said he was on the verge of tears all day just thinking about the game.
"It was a really emotional day, just walking to class and having the shoot-around and warming up," he said. "I just knew that there were going to be a lot of lasts today."
As for the rebounds, Kansas certainly gave him plenty of opportunities. The Jayhawks shot just 23-of-53 from the field and 9-of-22 from three-point range.
Three of those three-pointers came from Mike Lee, whose only points of the game came from behind the arc. But sophomore J.R. Giddens nailed a couple of three-pointers of his own. Giddens, whose struggles from behind the arc have been well documented, missed badly on his first shot of the game. He came back and scored five straight points for the lahawks.
"It was a 28-footer and he missed by 19 feet." Self laughed. "But he showed a lot of guts stepping up and making his next two."
Self said the Jayhawks would need Giddens to play better in order for them to go far in the NCAA Tournament, mainly because teams will do what K-State did last night.
The Wildcats played a 2-3 zone for most of the game, but unlike other games during the season when they went stagnant against a zone, the Jayhawks were able to pass the ball on the perimeter and get it inside.

Wristbands become collectors' items

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The RockChalk wristbands,
blue pieces of rubber that originally sold for $1, are now fetching more than 20 times that amount from collectors on eBav.
The Kansas University Athletic Corporation ordered 50,000 wristbands last fall to capitalize on the LiveStrong-style rubber wristband trend.
As word spread that the Athletics Department stopped selling the blue wristbands at
The wristbands, which were sold from October to December at all home sporting events and at www.kustore.com, are consistently selling for more than $20 on eBay.
Thirty-six eBay users bid on a RockChalk wristband Monday. It sold for $30, and some have gone for even more. But most KU students are choosing to hang on to their wristbands despite the high prices people are paving on eBay.
the end of 2004, they almost instantly became a collectors' item.
Kevin Waymire, Wichita
sophomore, said he wouldn't sell his wristband.
Not everyone is so sentimental. Sam Funk, Holcomb freshman, said he would consider selling his wristband for a big enough wad of cash.
"It's something that shows my respect," he said. "It shows how proud I am to be a KU student."
"I mean, I'm a college student." he said.
Andrew Steinberg, assistant athletic director in charge of marketing, said the department still had a few thousand wrist-bands, which it planned to give away at the baseball game versus Western Illinois on March 18 and at the softball game versus Arkansas on April 27.
He said that in addition to the wristbands that were sold, the department handed out thousands of wristbands to student-athletes, the spirit squad, the marching band and department employees. Wristbands were also given to everyone who attended the women's basketball game on Feb. 2.
Steinberg said the department was not planning to print more wristbands.

Senior golfers help earn repeat victory in San Antonio
Senior leadership and a solid overall team performance helped the Kansas men's golf team win the Roadrunner Intercollegiate in San Antonio Tuesday.
---
Senior golfer Kevin Ward emerged as the team's leader through the back nine. Ward's final-round score, 67, was the lowest round of the day and the
Ward
second-lowest round of the tournament next to tournament champion Jeremy Alcorn of Baylor. Alcorn shot 65 in the opening round.
Ward's four under-par round on Tuesday propelled the Jayhawks to beat in-state foe Wichita State by two strokes. He was the only player on the team to shoot under par.
Sophomore Tyler Docking remained consistent, finishing the tournament tied for second with a three-round total of 211, which was two-under-par for the tournament. Docking led all Javahawks for the second straight tournament.
Coach Ross Randall said he was relieved to leave San Antonio with a victory.
"We were lucky to win today," Randall said.
"The guys didn't play their best but we still won, and I'm pleased with that."
Senior Andrew Price also played well, finishing the tournament tied for 10th overall with a three-round total of 216.
Sophomore Gary Woodland contributed with a total score of 223, junior Pete Krsnich finished with a combined score of 225 and junior Luke Trammell, playing as an individual, shot a three-round total of 232.
The Jayhawks will try to keep their momentum after winning their first tournament of the spring. They will be in action next week at the Louisiana Classic in Lafayette, La.

The release of the Academic Progress Rate scores have put college athletes under the microscope.
The recent focus: what's going on in the classroom in addition to what occurs on the field, court, track or in the water.
Seventeen Kansas swimming and diving team members were recognized as part of the 2005 Academic All-Big 12 Team on Feb. 23, an increase from last years' 12 selections.
Academic excellence is not new to the team. The Jayhawks have repeatedly performed outstandingly in the classroom.
The 2003-2004 team grade point average was 3.39.
Along with a high GPA, the team was selected as an Academic All-American Team.
They had the highest GPA among all Big 12 Conference swimming and diving teams, the eighth-best team GPA of all public universities, and the highest GPA ever posted by Jayhawk swimmers and divers.
Perhaps the biggest accomplishment of the 2003-2004 season was capturing the highest GPA among all KU athletic teams.
The entire Academic All-Big 12 Team is composed of 73 student-athletes from the Big 12. Sixty swimmers and divers represent the first team, members with a 5.20 GPA or higher. Thirteen Big 12 swimmers and divers represent the second

With the exception of a little guidance from Laura Jacobsen, the team's academic adviser, the team was motivated and determined to perform well academically.
"We have to keep in mind that we're here to go to school first," Gnazitg said. "Seventeen Academic All-Big 12 selections is a better accomplishment than any best time."

Amy Gruber, senior co-captain,
agreed that academics were important to the team. She said that spring was the best time for earning good grades because it was the team's off-season.
Although the 2005 swimming and diving season is coming to a close and the swimmers and divers no longer have daily practice and weekly meets, that doesn't mean that they don't have other goals to achieve.
They plan on devoting the rest of spring semester to excelling out of the pool and in the classroom.

Free agency under way
BY DAVE GOLDBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Washington Redskins did it again, jumping yesterday to sign the first free agent of the season.
But the Baltimore Ravens landed the biggest prize of the first day of free agency, signing wide receiver Derrick Mason, whose 96 catches for Tennessee last season led all NFL wide receivers.
And the Cleveland Browns traded defensive tackle Gerard Warren, the third overall pick in the 2001 draft, to Denver. It was an overall net loss for Cleveland — the Browns will get just a fourth-round draft choice for the underachieving Warren.
"What this
The 31-year-old Mason, one of six Titans cut last month in a salary cap purge, will join a team whose leading receiver had just 55 catches a year ago.
does is, we bring in a veteran receiver who has the type of attitude and type of personality that we look for in a football player."
"We were high on his list, and he was high on our list." Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "He was really the only receiver we have had any active discussions with thus far. What this does is, we bring in a veteran receiver who has the type of attitude and type of personality that we look for in a football player."
Ozzie Newsome Ravens' general manager
St. Louis, meanwhile, signed 32-year-old linebacker Dexter Coakley, one day after he was released by Dallas.
Washington's catch was a former Raven, center Casey Rabach, who joined a team has spent millions in the early days of free agency the last two seasons.
But more significant for the Redskins, who went wildly after high-priced free agents on the first day the last two years, was keeping one of their own — left tackle Chris Samuels, whose
contract was redone to provide more salary can room.
Those were the major free agents to sign on Day 1 of free agency
Oakland also made an expected splash by officially completing the deal for Randy Moss, a trade made last week with Minnesota. The Raiders gave up linebacker Napoleon Harris and two draft picks, one of them the seventh overall in April's lottery.
Moss may not be the only significant addition to the Raiders' offense.
They appeared close to signing running back Lamont Jordan, who spent four years as Curtis Martin's backup with the New York Iets.
He averaged 4.9 yards per carry in part-time duty but has never been a full-time back.
Jordan should help, but Moss teamed with the re-signed Jerry Porter is the seemingly perfect combination for the strong arm of quarterback Kerry Collins. The big question is whether the offensive line can protect the immobile and turnover-prone OB.
Collins was delighted.
Colmis was delighted.
"If he's not the best, he's certainly one of the best," he said of Moss.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Two players receive award for academic achievements
The women's basketball team has two players on the 2005 Academic All-Big 12 team first team, which was announced yesterday.
Senior forward Blair Waltz and junior forward
Pamela J.
Crystal Kemp were the repeat honorees in the Big 12 Conference.
Waltz
Waltz, a French and economics major, was also placed on the All-Big 12 first team as a sophomore and won second team honors as a junior. Waltz is one of only 15 players in the league to be awarded academically for three seasons.
Kemp is on the All-Big 12
first team for the second time. Kemp, who also leads the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding, is studying speech, language and hearing.
Overall, the Big 12 honored 37 first team student-athletes and placed nine on the second team. To qualify for first team honors, a grade point average of 3.20 or better must be reached. Second team qualifiers need to earn a GPA between 3.00 and 3.19. A GPA of 3.00 or higher is required in either cumulative grades or in the previous two semesters.
Kemp
On the court, the players must compete in 60 percent of the team's games to qualify for either team honors.

Jayhawk bags trophy black bear

Cameron Manuel, Wichita sophomore, poses in Salmon River Valley, Idaho, behind the trophy black bear he killed while bow hunting.

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 spelunker, 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 785-864-4858 or by e-mailing him at cregan@kansan.com.
Two years ago, Cameron Manuel took down a trophy black bear.
Manuel, a Wichita sophomore, said, "I'd always heard people say they look up at you, right before you shoot. Sure enough, he did."
Manuel's kill, in Salmon River Valley, Idaho, earned him a place in the record books of Pope & Young, a bow hunters organization that accepts for records only game killed by bow and arrow. When a kill surpasses a certain score (determined by the skull width and length), the hunter is entered into the record book.
In this case, the threshold was a score of 18. Manuel's bear scored an 18.6.
Manuel said the bear weighed more than 300 pounds and stood about six feet tall.
He said his whole mind was consumed by getting off a good shot.
"People ask if I was scared, but it wasn't scary. My heart was
pounding, sure, but I did not want to miss that shot. I made the perfect shot, double lung, and hit a main vein causing him to die really quick. That's important to me, minimizing the suffering." Manuel said.
I would rather go out into the wilderness and give the animal that opportunity to face off with me. That's been a natural part of the human race. Only in the last 100 years have we become capable of living without it."
Some people people say

hunting is cruel. But for Manuel, from an ethical standpoint, it's better to hunt wild game than to eat store-bought meat.
"When people tell me it's unethical, I ask when's the last time you ate meat, or used cosmetics that were tested on animals? I would rather go out into the wilderness and give the animal that opportunity to face off with me. That's been a natural
part of the human race. Only in the last 100 years have we become capable of living without it." Manuel said.
Most of the meat from grocery stores is from animals raised for the sole purpose of food. Manuel thinks that is worse than hunting.
Manuel donated his trophy bear's meat to a family in Idaho, and said it's important to utilize everything possible from game animals.
Rex Reinhardt, Lake St.
Louis. Mo., senior, agreed.
"Animals have a multitude of purposes. Food being one of them. But I don't think it's right to kill them merely for recreational purposes," Reinhardt said.
Even though Manuel shot his bear in Idaho and has hunted hogs in Arkansas, Kansas is still his favorite place to hunt.
"We have really good deer hunting here, as well as duck hunting. Lots of people dog Kansas, but I love it. Starting at the age of four, I was able to pursue these hobbies."
With springtime approaching, the time for fly fishing and turkey hunting is near. This is the time hunters and outdoorsmen love. Even those in Kansas.

FOOTBALL
Study shows obesity widespread in NFL
BY LINDSEY TANNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — It's no secret that size matters in the National Football League, but a new study suggests that a whopping 56 percent of NFL players would be considered obese by some medical standards.
The NFL called the study bogus for using players' bodymass index, a height-to-weight ratio that doesn't consider body muscle versus fat. The players union said that despite the familiar sight of bulging football jerseys, there was no proof that obesity was rampant in the league.
But former defensive tackle John Jurkovic said he'd seen plenty of evidence that players had gotten not just bigger but sometimes fatter, "big as houses" in recent years because of league pressure to intimidate opponents and win.
"The NFL teams want it because it's working," said Jurkovic, who played for Green Bay, Cleveland and Jacksonville before retiring in 2000.
The theory is that bigger men, especially linemen and defensive players, are better blockers and harder to move.
But the study results suggest that bigger players don't make a team more successful. There was no relationship between teams' average player BMI and their ranking in 2003-04, the season studied. Arizona had the highest average BMI, but also the worst record in its division.
In the study, University of North Carolina endocrinologist Joyce Harp and student Lindsay Hecht used statistics on the NFL Web site to calculate BMIs for 2,168 NFL players, nearly all those playing in the 2003-04 season.
Almost all the players qualified as overweight, and 56 percent had BMIs of at least 30 what doctors consider obese. For example, a 6-foot-2 man weighing 235 has a BMI of just over 30. Nearly half of the obese players were in the severely obese range, with a BMI of at least 35, and a small percentage were morbidly obese with a BMI of at least 40.
Harp acknowledged that without measuring body composition, it was uncertain how many players were truly fat, but she said it was unlikely the high BMIs were "due to a healthy increase in muscle mass alone."
"The high number of large players was not unexpected, given the pressures of professional athletes to increase their mass. However, it may not be without health consequences," the researchers wrote, citing previous studies that documented obesity-related problems,
including sleep apnea and high blood pressure in NFL players
The study appears in yesterday's Journal of the American Medical Association.
While the study methods were not very scientific, players' growing girth "is a major concern," said Arthur Roberts, a former NFL quarterback and retired heart surgeon whose Living Heart Foundation works with the players union to evaluate heart-related health risks faced by current and retired players.
"These larger body sizes are generally associated with greater cardiovascular risks," Roberts said.
The increasing emphasis on size may be a bad influence on "all the young kids that play football around the country ... and are trying to be like their heroes," Roberts said.
Players union spokesman Carl Francis said health and
safety were "discussed all the time," and that while some players likely were obese, it was not a major problem.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello called the study substandard and said there was no proof obesity was worse in the NFL than in U.S. society in general, where about 30 percent of adults are obese, based on BMI data. "This was not a serious medical study," he said.
Brian Cole of Chicago's Rush University Medical Center, an orthopedic surgeon who works with the Arena Football League, also questioned the study methods.
Relying on published height and weight data but not physical exams is faulty, he said.
Julie Burns, a nutritionist who works with the Chicago Bears, said combining BMI data with players' waist measurements is a better fat indicator.

bracelets have been largely equated with charity organizations.
Some college athletics departments have distributed part of the profits from wristband sales outside the athletic department. The University of Michigan's "M Go Blue for Mott" wristband sells for $2, with half of the profits going to help build a new children's hospital. The University of Illinois' "Loyalty" wristband sells for $2 with the money going to the university's library campaign.
Though KUAC didn't spread the wristband profits outside of KU athletics, Marchiony said giving money to the Williams Fund was "a good way to raise money to help student-athetes."
Funk said he was more than happy to give $1 to help attract new athletes.
"We've got a lot of seniors graduating," he said. "If it takes every student buying a wristband to get some new players, not just in basketball but in any sport, that makes the school look good."

If the Jayhawks defeat the Tigers, they will clinch the outright Big 12 Conference title. If Kansas loses, it will share the title if Oklahoma or Oklahoma State wins this weekend.
If Kansas ties with Oklahoma State, the Jayhawks will still have the No.1 seed in the conference tournament. A tie with Oklahoma would mean the second seed in the tournament for Kansas.
In the event of a three-way tie, Oklahoma would take the No. 1 seed with a 2-1 head-to-head record against Kansas and Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks (1-1) would be No. 2, and the Cowboys (1-2) would be No. 3. **P** 19 standings after 15 names:

Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN The KU dancers got into the spirit of the 50th anniversary of Allen Fieldhouse by donning old-school uniforms for last night's game.
There was no official ceremony to commemorate the 50th birthday of Allen Fieldhouse during last night's game, because none was needed. The game itself was the celebration. Cheerleaders wore ankle-length skirts, yell leaders donned old school sweaters and the basketball players sported throwback jerseys, all in an effort to turn back the clock to that fateful day 50 years and one day earlier.
"The retro uniforms made me feel like I was back in the '50s or something," Brian Fleming, Fort Worth, Texas, sophomore, said. "The cheerleading stuff was cool, too. It kind of brought the whole thing together."
To complete the setting, an old Jayhawks mascot, similar to the one used at games in the '50s, was parading around before the game

The only things missing from the atmosphere were short shorts for the basketball players and bow ties for the coaches.
"I would like to see the throwback uniforms every once in a while," Adam Lovelace, Olathe sophomore, said. "Not too often, but maybe once a year."
Replicas of the first-ever game program were handed out, as well.

Senior speeches evoke tears, laughs, memories

Hundreds of fans waited outside Allen Fieldhouse hours before yesterday's basketball game between Kansas and Kansas State began.
By the time camping groups were allowed inside the arena, the student line was so long that it stretched out halfway to Oliver Hall.

The celebration for the Jayhawks' four seniors started with a pre-game ceremony in which Mike Lee, Keith Langford, Wayne Simien and Aaron Miles were introduced at midcourt with their parents.
This was only the appetizer.
The main course of the seniors' farewell was saved for after Kansas finished winning its 22nd straight Senior Day game.

It was the kind of anticipation normally reserved for games against highly ranked opponents, but it didn't matter who the visiting team was on this occasion. Senior Night is an event all by itself.

or game as well.
The first senior speech came from Lee, who finished off his career with a nine-point effort.

After being announced by Kansas radio commentator Max Falkenstien as "one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet," he began his farewell words.
He started off by promising he wouldn't take long. He then thanked the fans for sticking by him even when he was playing 30 seconds a game.
His speech then focused on his teammates, coaches and eventually his family.
Starting with his mother, he
thanked his relatives for all he they had done for him. He got choked up along the way but could no longer keep the tears in when he spoke about his father.
"Daddy, ever since I was little, all the motivation I got was because of you," he said. "I wanted to be a better man because of you."
At this point he tried to hide his tears, so Miles ran to midcourt and presented him with a handkerchief.
The crowd laughed and applauded Miles' move, and Lee composed himself and continued his speech.
"This night is not about me, it's not about the seniors. It's about everyone who came along for the journey. The staff, the fans, my family, all of y'all."
He ended his speech by asking everyone in the stadium to travel to Columbia, Mo., on Sunday and watch the Jayhawks defeat the Tigers.
The second senior to take the stage was Langford, who said it would be hard to say goodbye.
"I'm not going to make it through this speech without cringing," he said.
Throughout his address he stayed strong. But, like Lee, he broke down once he started talking about his family.
With every sad moment, though, he came back with a satirical comment. After telling his father how much he meant to him, he told the crowd how his father had pushed him so hard the he would throw up.
The same was true with his mother. After he said he loved her, he brought up that she spanked him when he was 15 years old. His mother stood up and took a bow to show how proud she was.
To end his speech, he also thanked the fans.
"This is the best place in America to play basketball," he said.
After Langford took a seat back on the bench, Miles got his turn to address the crowd.
Like those before him, he thanked everyone from the coaches to his family.
He was the only player who thanked former coach Rov Williams.
and his coaching staff.
He started off on an upbeat note, thanked "The Rudy Huxtable Fan Club," a camping group who Miles said included his biggest fans.
Shortly after, he turned to his family, and Lee got revenge by bringing Miles a handkerchief when he began to cry.
The emotions started showing once he talked about his brother, whom he said he tried to set a good example for every day.
Miles ended his speech by telling his fellow seniors how much their friendships meant to him.
The last public speaker of the group was Simien, who started off by telling everyone to be patient.
"I'm going to go ahead and apologize to everyone right now," he said.
"Get comfortable, because I've been waiting for this my whole life."
Though the three seniors before him thanked the fans, he connected to them in a way none of them could He grew up a huge fan of Kansas basketball, and said that if he weren't on the team, he would be camping out with the fans.
Simien's speech turned out to be the longest, because he went into great detail about why he loved his fellow players and coaches.
The crowd applauded him the most after thanking his old high school coach for encouraging him to stay at Kansas after Williams left for North Carolina.
"I remember going through the whole coaching change and not knowing what was going to happen," Simien said. "He just told me to play the hand I was dealt."
The majority of the crowd stayed to listen to all of the speeches, which lasted more than an hour, and applauded the departing heroes every chance they got.
They just couldn't get enough.
"I'm going to miss them so much." Sarah Latif, Overland Park freshman, said. "They bring so much enthusiasm for every game. I wish them luck in the NBA or anywhere they go after this."

Self said he was pleased with his team's play against the zone defense.
The score never indicated that the game was in question, but K-State hung tough. The Jayhawks' 32-26 halftime lead widened to 12 early in the second half. It was their largest of the game. The Wildcats got within six with about 7 minutes left in the game.
But the Kansas seniors weren't going to let anything take away from their night. Simien, Langford, Miles and Lee scored all but five of the Jayhawks second half-points.
Last night's victory gave Kansas a share of the Big 12 Conference title. A victory against Missouri on Sunday would win it. Clinching the conference title would top off the senior's final regular season.
"This is only halfway," Langford said. "We wanna win it outright and we have the opportunity to do that."

an apt ending, considering their two Final Fours and Elite Eight could already make them the most successful basketball class in Kansas history no matter what else happens this season.
And the seniors went out on top was also fitting.
Forward Wayne Simien was, well - Wayne Simien, indomitable in the post even against the Wildcats' zone, saving one of his best fieldhouse performances for his last — 25 points and a career-high 20 rebounds. Guard Aaron Miles, Kansas' and the Big 12's all-time leader in assists, dished out seven to go along with 12 points. Guard Keith Langford slashed and shot his way also to 12 points and guard Mike Lee had nine on three three-pointers. Fittingly, the four seniors were the Jayhawks' four leading scorers.
But though Senior Night ended in success, the seniors are still waiting to call their final season a success.
"Our goal was to win the Big 12 title," Lee said. "Right now we share a piece of it, but we want to win it outright."
Kansas will have its opportunity to do that on Sunday at Missouri. Then comes the conference tournament and March Madness, where the Jayhawks hope to take care of other unfinished business. Meanwhile, the 50-year-old fieldhouse will wait for next year to celebrate the big five-one, and the names Miles, Langford, Simien and Lee can be added to the other greats who have played there. They'll be remembered as individuals, but also as the great class they composed.
"When one of us is going to be mentioned, all of us are going to be mentioned." Simien said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday
◄ Today's birthday.
Watch out for opportunities, and changes in your career. Find an environment where your suggestions are respected, even though not always followed.
➢ Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
Far distant places beckon, but don't go racing off yet. There's something you've already promised to do that has to be finished first.
- Tuaro (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
You can't be exactly sure now how much you have, or how much things will cost. As usual, if you're very careful, you'll get through with money left.
+ Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6.
A bit of a conflict develops, and you are practically on the sidelines. The outcome could affect you, though. Pay attention and get involved.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
Yes, there is more work than you can
possibly do in one day, it could interfere with an outing you've got planned. Lessen the stress, and postpone the trip.
+ Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is 5.
Love's abundant today and tomorrow, but money is apt to be tight. Don't get into an argument, there's plenty where that came from. Money, that is.
- Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Today is a 6.
You can do a lot of the work around your place all by yourself. The first phase involves making a mess. You'll love it, once you get into it.
*Libra (Sept. 23-Cot. 22) Today is a 7.
During the coming day or two you'll make amazing discoveries. Of course, it's a good idea to be in the right place at the right time. That part is up to you.
★ Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8.
You're not much in the mood to work,
but don't go shopping, either. The
temptation to spend on stuff you don't
need is way too great. Sort and file.
+ Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7. You're full of energy now, but conditions are not all that good. The odds are high you'll say something that somebody else won't like, or the other way around. Take care.
- Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7. It would appear that somebody's on your case to move quickly. You may not have created the emergency, but to benefit, correct it.
+ Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today are a 7
Don't drag about what you're doing.
You're liable to arouse jealousies or
criticism, neither of which you want.
It's wiser to keep your mouth shut
about your success.

Former Kansas guard named interim coach
Pritchard replaces Portland's Cheeks
BY ANNE M. PETERSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Ore. — For all his popularity among the players and the fans, Portland Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks ultimately didn't have the wins.
CARLOS JORGE MAYER
Greg Wain Stephens/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kevin Pritchard, director of player personnel for the Portland Trail Blazers, speaks at a news conference in Portland, Ore., yesterday. Pritchard was appointed interim coach after Maurice Cheeks was fired by general manager John Nash.
Greg Wahl-Stephens/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former Kansas guard and team director of player personel kevin Pritchard was named interim coach.
Cheeks was fired yesterday morning, after the Blazers had lost seven of their last nine and tumbled to 22-33.
"It's a sad day for me because I've got guys on my team that I really ... ," Cheeks said, his voice trailing off in disappointment during an emotional news conference a few hours after he was let go.
With Portland's chances of making the playoffs dwindling, the Blazers chose to look for other options.
"I didn't do as well a job as I could have, as I did in previous years," he concluded.
"Our players liked Mo a great deal, but sometimes a fresh
voice might ignite them to go in a different direction," Blazers general manager John Nash said.
While the Blazers are not entirely giving up on the playoffs, Pritchard's appointment shows the team is going to focus on evaluating younger players.
"I'm not going to mislead anybody. It's a long uphill battle to get to the playoffs from where we're at — 11 games under .500," Blazers president Steve Patterson said.
The Blazers are in 12th place in the Western Conference, six games behind the Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot. Portland went 41-41 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time in 22 years.
Portland's latest defeat came Tuesday night, 103-93 to the defending champion Detroit. That left Cheeks with a 162-139 record as Blazers coach. He was in the final year of a four-year contract worth an estimated $12 million.
Cheeks, who played in the NBA for 15 seasons, was hired
by Portland in 2001 to replace Mike Dumleay.
"I enjoyed teaching kids, I enjoyed being around the players and I loved the game itself," Cheeks said.
But the Blazers hardly made Cheeks' tenure easy, on or off
There were several players cited for marijuana possession and forward Qyntel Woods was investigated in a dog fighting scandal.
Former Blazers forward Rasheed Wallace drew unwanted attention to the team two seasons ago when he threatened a game official on the loading dock of the Rose Garden. Wallace, later traded, was suspended for seven games by the NBA.
the court.
Although he was generally popular among his players, Cheeks did have a couple of high-profile verbal run-ins with former guard Bonzi Wells and current forward Darius Miles. Both players served team suspensions for their actions.
Cheeks never shied away from questions about his team's misbehavior, bringing him the respect of fans and reporters who covered the Blazers.
He endeared himself to many in April 2003 when he came to the rescue of a 13-year-old girl, Natalie Gilbert, who forgot the words to the national anthem before a playoff game against the Dallas Mavericks. Cheeks went to her side and helped her with the words.
Both Patterson and Nash said it was with great regret that they broke the news to Cheeks at the team's practice facility yesterday
morning.
"We were kind of hoping in January and February that we'd gain some momentum — but that didn't happen." Nash said.
The assistants who served under Cheeks will remain with the team.
Cheeks, 48, said he'd likely take a vacation, and wouldn't mind coaching in some capacity again soon.
"I love the game too much to stay away," he said.
Pritchard, hired by the Blazers in August after serving as a scout for the San Antonio Spurs, was asked if he thought the role as interim coach was an audition.
"This is not the role and not the career path I want to take," Pritchard said. "That said, I would do anything to help this organization."
Pritchard, 37, who played at Kansas, spent four seasons in the NBA. Before joining the Spurs organization, he served as coach, general manager and director of player personnel for the Kansas City Knights of the American Basketball Association.

Kobe Bryant, accuser settle lengthy civil lawsuit
BY JON SARCHE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The 20-year-old woman who accused NBA star Kobe Bryant of rape nearly two years ago settled her civil lawsuit against him yesterday.
Terms were not released. A statement faxed to The Associated Press by Bryant's attorneys said only that the matter had been resolved "to the satisfaction of both parties."
BERT WESTLEY
"The parties and their attorneys have agreed that no further comments about the matter can

said Bryant declined to comment on the settlement. Bryant was in Boston for a game against the Celtics and was unavailable before the game.
The lawsuit, filed three weeks
before the criminal case against Bryant, collapsed last summer and sought unspecified damages for mental injuries, public scorn and humiliation the woman said she has suffered since their June 2003 encounter at the Vail-area hotel where she worked.
A married father of one, Bryant has apologized for his "behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered," but has insisted the sex was consensual.
Speculation that a settlement was close increased Monday after L. Lin Wood, one of the woman's attorneys, said
Amarried father of one, Bryant has apologized for his "behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered," but has insisted the sex was consensual.
Bryant's long-awaited deposition three days earlier had been called off. Legal experts said a settlement would be in the best interest of both parties because it would spare them the expense and possible embarrassment of
a trial.
Bryant, 27, has never been questioned under oath about what happened in his hotel room as he prepared for knee surgery in Vail the next day.
The accuser is now married
and pregnant. Like the criminal case, the civil case ultimately would have rested on the testimony of a woman the defense suggested was a promiscuous, attention-seeking liar.
The lawsuit was similar to the outline of the criminal case, accusing Bryant of flirting with the woman during a tour of the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera. After the two ended up in his room, they began to kiss and Bryant became more aggressive, finally holding her by the throat while he raped her, the lawsuit said.

Party hurts house
IFC decides Phi Kappa Theta's future on campus tonight
BY ERIC SORRENTINO
esorrentino@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The judicial board of the Interfraternity Council will decide on the necessary punishment tonight for an unregistered party at Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. 1111 W. 11th St.
"We're really disappointed in the conduct of the chapter," Lampe said.
Lawrence police responded to a noise complaint at the fraternity house two weeks ago.
1 All functions and events must be registered with the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association through the use of a Party Notification Form (PNF).
Kevin Lampe, national secretary of Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, said the national headquarters, in Carmel, Ind., indefinitely suspended the chapter Feb. 25.
With the suspension, the fraternity cannot participate in social functions, perform rituals or recruit new members. Lamps said the Phi Kappa Theta national board of trustees would conduct a hearing later this spring.
2 A party notification packet shall be completed in full by the chapter(s) hosting the event. To be considered acceptable, the party notification packet must include a properly completed PNF, chapter roster(s) and guest list.
Policy
For any event not associated with a third party vendor, a PNF form must be returned to the IFC office or the PHA office no later than 48 hours prior to the event.
The national ruling will be a separate ruling from the IFC's local ruling tomorrow night. Lampe said the national board
For any function that is with a third party vendor, the PNF (not including guest list and chapter roster) must be returned to the IFC office or PHA office at least 10 days prior to the function in accordance with state law. The guest list and chapter roster is due 48 hours prior to the event.
SEE HOUSE ON PAGE 4A
5 Any person fitting the definition of a non-member must be placed on a guest list. A copy of the guest list, with names alphabetized, must be turned in with the PNF.
6 Failure to complete the Party Notification Form within the appropriate time form will result in the following notification:
4. To complete the Party Notification Form within the appropriate time frame will result in the following penalties:
a. For the first infraction, a chapter will be fined $50.
b. For the second infraction, a chapter will be fined $100.
c. A third infraction will result in an appearance before the IFC/PHA Judicial Board.
d. Fines will be paid to KU Greek Programs and distributed by the IFC and PHA executive boards for educational or philanthropic events:

STUDENT SENATE ELECTIONS
Tuition still groups' focus
Proposed increase for CLAS students scrapped by dean
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
WANTS STAFF WRITER
Student Senate candidate responded Wednesday to the decision by Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, to not go forward with his tuition increase proposal.
The newest coalition, Student Voice, came out against the differential tuition proposal under the plan CLAS students would pay $10 more per credit hour — on its platform and made the issue its number-one priority.
Dennis Chanay, presidential candidate for Student Voice, said tuition is still an issue, even though Wilcox would not propose the increase to Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Steve Munch, student body president, wrote in an e-mail that a draft for fixed tuition was being reviewed and critiqued by administrators and students. Fixed tuition would apply to all students. Under the plan, administrators would project future increases and average projected increases, then determine a flat rate each student would pay his first four years at the University. The plan could go into effect in 2007. A student vote on fixed tuition would probably happen next spring, according to the e-mail.
Chanay said that although students would pay a flat rate throughout college tuition increases would still happen.
KUnited has voiced its support of fixed tuition in the current administration.
Chanay said he would be against fixed tuition. Tuition is still a big concern for students, Chanay said.
Chanay said that although students would pay a flat rate throughout college, tuition increases would still happen.
"They would be making increases before they know what they are spending the money on," Chanay said. "That seems backwards to me."

Burge Fitness to close
Drop in attendance reason for decision
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students will not be working out in the Burge Union Fitness Center for much longer.
Agreements between the University Recreation Services and the KU Memorial Unions ended this month and will not be renewed, said Julie Urkoski, fitness director for
Recreation Services.
Mary Showman, Bennington, Neb., sophomore enjoys the center for its anonymity.
"I always have a machine here," said Mary Showman, Bennington, Neb., sophomore. "I don't have to wait in line, and I can fit working out into my schedule whenever I want to."
Showman, member of Pi Beta Phi sorority, said the short walk to the center made working out hassle-free.
"I think it really sucks that this place is closing," Showman said. "But I am going to go to the new
recreation center, it's farther and more crowded, but I don't really have any other options."
Although the center does offer a less crowded place to workout, this luxury will be its undoing.
"We really have seen a drop in attendance," Urkoski said. "We are not going to keep it open with the new recreation center so close."
The Burge Union Fitness Center attendance has fallen to fewer than 100 people a day, said Urkoski. She said the closure date was not known, but it
may be as soon as spring break.
"Nothing is certain as of yet," she said.
None of the 10-15 students who work their will lose their jobs, Urkoski said. Center employees will work for the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Urkoski said she thought people disenfranchised by the closing would go to the Recreation Center.
The Burge Fitness Center will be replaced by offices.

High-speed pursuit
Man steals student's car, leads police on 100 mph chase
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSAST WORK WRITER
A 20-year-old man led Lawrence police on a high-speed pursuit that didn't end until the car ran out of gas in Olathe.
The man entered a KU student's house while she was asleep, took her car keys and stole her 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee at about 1:40 a.m. yesterday. One of Elise Berlau's roommates saw the man driving the car away and told her, according to a Lawrence police report. Police arrived at the scene minutes later.
Officers located the stolen vehicle around 1:48 a.m. at the corner of 23rd and Alabama streets.
When officers attempted to
stop the vehicle, the suspect drove east on 23rd Street.
The pursuit continued east of Lawrence on Kansas Highway 10 and ended in Olathe after the stolen vehicle ran out of gas, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
Police arrested Loren Partrich, Lawrence resident, and booked him into Douglas County jail at 5:19 a.m. on charges of aggravated burglary, felony theft, flee and attempt to elude and reckless driving, Ward said.
The pursuit reached speeds of about 100 mph. Ward said.
Berlau, Overland Park senior, picked up her car about 3:30 a.m. in front of the Johnson County jail, right where the car had run out of gas.
In that report, a 19-year-old KU student told Lawrence police that items totaling about $630 were stolen from her car, including a $250 iPod and a $70 radar detector.
Partrick had been arrested on Feb. 25 for criminal trespass after it was reported that he walked into a residence in the 700 block of Michigan Street. The victims reported that nothing was taken, but that they did not know Partrick. Ward said.
Berlau said that this wasn't the first time that she thinks someone has illegally entered her house, located in the 1000
(1)
police determined that Partrich was involved in an auto burglary earlier that evening in the 1300 block of Louisiana Street.

Editor's Notes
100%
We want you to use us. No, really this is your magazine and your opportunity to share your voice. We want your feedback, whether you love
or hate something you read or you just have some story ideas. You know that "letter to the editor" page you see in a lot of magazines: those letters that drone on and on about how amazing an article was in last month's issue and then the occasional critical thinker who calls the publication moronic. Yeah, we don't have that page, but we still want to know what you're thinking.
Good things come from interaction. Three weeks ago, Jayplay reader Stephanie Filardo, Owensville, Mo., junior, called to tell us she wanted to give away her engagement ring from her former fiance. We ran a contest in our Feb. 10 issue asking readers to share their love stories and the reader with the best one would receive the ring. Filardo picked her favorite couple and we announce the winners on page 14.
Starting with this issue, we'll also give you the writer's contact information after each article. The writers are here to entertain you, so if you think an article sucks, let them know. Likewise, tell the writer if the piece changed your life, you now consider him or her your hero or you're constructing a shrine in the article's honor. You can also send in your love questions to Bitch + Moan on page 9. Columnists Chris and Jessi give informative answers while trying not to sound like smart-asses. They usually fail.
And then there's me. If there's anything you want to say but don't know whom to direct it to, you can e-mail me. If it's praise, I'll take credit. And if its criticism, I'll make up someone to blame it on.

Dorm-made gourmet
Sans kitchen?
So what!
Grub on good food,
even in your residence hall room
Many students feel limited by their cooking options while living on campus. The microwave can offer students fine dining if used correctly.
RICE RONI GardenVegetable
CAROoni & CHEESE DINNER
By Maha Masud, Jayplay writer
Say goodbye to takeout menus and daily trips to Lewis Hall, and hello to gourmet goodness. With a little creativity and concocting, eating well in your room is not only possible; it's downright doable.
Nuke-lear war
Andrea Bridges, Lewis Hall resident, can't be bothered with hopping on an elevator down to Mrs. E's dining hall. The Lenexa sophomore decided that after spending last semester eating there twice a day, she needed a break from on-campus eateries. But living in the residence halls without an oven limits her cooking capacity. Though it's the reigning royalty of cooking, the oven now has some definite competition for the leading position in food preparation. "The microwave is the new oven," Bridges says. "It's where the real cooking goes on."
Using a microwave is probably the quickest and easiest way to prepare food in a hall room. It's also one of the only heating devices allowed in the halls, says Nick Dormer, Topeka sophomore and resident assistant for the fourth floor of Lewis Hall. With the restrictions on different appliances — nothing with an open heating device is allowed — it seems like students must surrender themselves to a life of
Ramen noodles. However, microwaves are capable of whipping up more than just TV dinners. Bridges uses hers to make instant mashed potatoes, p grains and even scrambled eggs. She says it's easy: Just crack an egg into a bowl, season, add cheese if you want, stir, cook for 30 seconds, stir, cook for another 30 to 45 seconds and it's finished. If you want to cook more than nuke, creating a more homemade style meal is possible. Carolyn Dodson, of www.goodnuke.com and author of Definitive Microwave Cookery, says to think of your microwave as a stove, with many temperature settings to cook different types of food. For instance, a 450
ommends cooking things a little underdone, as 25 percent of cooking occurs after the microwave stops. And what are Dodson's final words of microwave wisdom?
degree setting on a stove is equivalent to 100 percent, or HIGH power, on a microwave. A medium setting on a microwave, perfect for cooking most foods, is 50 percent power, or 325 to 350 degrees on a conventional range. She recmeal gourmet. A simple sandwich can go from blah to bravo with just a little effort in the grocery store. Instead of going straight for the processed meats and cheeses à la Oscar Meyer, why not visit the deli counter and ask for some sun-dried tomato basil turkey with smoked Gouda cheese slices? And opt for more interesting greens than just plain iceberg. Try using baby spinach or mixed greens that include romaine lettuce or arugala, a peppery tasting variety of leafy green, which are available in ready-to-eat bagged salads. Experimenting with different ingredients and spices is often the key to making something more impressive, Bridges says. Even pasta can be made fancy: Target's Archer Farms brand has different varieties of pasta available, such as cracked black pepper linguiin and roasted garlic roteille. Boil the noodles in the microwave and top with a jarred alfredo sauce instead of your regular marinara.
a quick shortcut to making tacos
"Don't let that little tin box intimidate you!"
Although it's possible to go all out and make complete meals in the microwave,
Morningstar Farms Veggie Crumbles are a vegetarian alternative for ground beef. It's made from soy products, so it's low in fat and carbohydrates and takes only seconds to prepare in a microwave, making it a great, quick substitute for many recipes that require ground beef. Place a serving in a bowl, spice it up with some taco seasoning, nukit in the microwave for 30-45 seconds and add to a tortilla with some cheese, lettuce, and salsa. You've got yourself a soft taco in two minutes!
Bridges, Lewis Hall resident, warns that using fresh ingredients is a little risky because of limited shelf space in small dorm-size refrigerators and quick expiration dates. She and Dormer, Lewis Hall RA, both suggest using kitchen facilities located in many of the halls if you need to use some kind of open heating apparatus.
All you need to do is check out a key and bring your own pots and pans.
It's what's inside that counts
What you put *into* the food, rather than how you prepare it, is often what makes a
The bottom line: Don't think that because you don't have a kitchen in your room, you can't create a delicious, homemade gourmet-style meal. Explore new ingredients and don't be afraid to think outside of the microwave box. You just might have people start walking to your room instead of going to Mrs. E's.

Jefferson's Restaurant
743 Massachusetts St.
(785) 832-2000
Stat
From its famous hot wings to its juicy burgers and golden breaded oysters, Jefferson's Restaurant serves plenty of good southern food. Dollar bills signed with magic markers line the walls and with four big screen TVs, you can easily watch KU basketball games from any seat in the place.
Price Range: Appetizers start at the $2.50 Basket 'O' Fries and up to the$ 7.25 Combo plate with cheese sticks, mushrooms, corn nuggets and onion rings. Sandwiches, served with a pickle spear and your choice of fries, coleslaw, barbecue beans or pasta salad, are all about $6.
Booze Availability: Jefferson's carries more than 24 bottled beers and offers drink specials every day of the week. Thursdays are $1 draws and$ 5 pitchers, and Fridays are $2 wells.
**Attire:** Casual. Jefferson's is a sports bar; the servers wear T-shirts and jeans and you can too.
Date-worthy: Not really. The music is a little loud and you are expected to use paper towels as napkins. So if you're looking for something fancy, this is not your place. But if you're looking for a fun, friendly atmosphere, Jefferson's is your place.
*Jefferson's waitress Amity File, Beloit senior, says that the wings and burgers are the most popular. You can get $0.30 wings on Wednesdays, Sundays and KU game days. Burgers are$ 4.50 on Mondays.

Super short supper
Tuna Pasta For One
Make this low-fat, full-flavor dish with minimal ingredients for a quick delight. Mix a side salad to include more nutrients in your meal.
12 ounces dry rotini pasta
12 ounces dry rotini pasta
8 ounce can of tuna
1/3 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
pinch of back pepper
one head of broccoli
1/2 cup olive oil and red wine vinegar, whisked together
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Boil water and add pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, combine the tuna with onion, parsley, lemon juice and black pepper, in a medium-sized bowl. Really, you can vary the flavors and herbs, but this makes a fresh, tasty combination.
Add broccoli florets to the cooking pasta a couple minutes before the pasta is done. Make sure pasta and broccoli are both cooked to your satisfaction, and drain pasta and broccoli in a colander.
Stir cooked pasta into tuna mixture and drizzle with the oil and vinegar mixture to taste. Mix again to coat tuna and pasta. Top with the shredded pamesan cheese.
Leftovers are just as delicious chilled.

Although appearance may be the least important part of a person's qualifications
Although appearance may be the least important part of a person's qualifications for a job, it does affect the first impression of a potential employer.

arrived early and read over the questions I printed out from the University Career Center's Web site, www.ku.edu/~uces. I was a little nervous, but not too bad, I decided my black pants and teal blouse were professional enough and I was ready to get it over with. My finalized résumé, which was printed on gray granite paper, lay in the chair next to me. Once I went in, I was enthusiastic and full of confidence. I knew how to answer every question and I don't think I stumbled over my words too badly. Overall, I thought it was a good first interview, but I didn't get the job. That's because it was a mock interview offered by the University Career Center. But it sure felt real.
The mock interview is only one of the services the University Career Center offers. It's also only one of the steps you should take when preparing for the job market. Susan Engle, one of the owners of Englewood Florist, 1011 Massachusetts St., says job candidates should research the company that is interviewing them. She says job candidates should know exactly what the company does and needs so they can sell themselves to the company through an interview. She says job candidates must be able to state
Do Your Research
exactly what they can do for the company, whether it's through sales or by providing excellent customer service. "You're selling yourself to that company," Engle says. "You should be able to say, 'I can do x, y, z for you.'"
Be Prepared
David Gaston, director of University Career Services, recommends preparing for an interview the way you prepare an essay; organize it with an introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction responds to the typical first statement, "Tell me about yourself." Here you want to include specific reasons why you are a good fit for the company. In the body of the essay, provide anecdotes showing your skills and qualities that prove your qualifications for the position and for the company. Your conclusion tells interviewers what you want them to remember about you.
Gaston also says job candidates should be able to effectively communicate what skills and qualities they bring to an employer. "The interview is a time to close the sale," Gaston says.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car hires more college graduates than any other company in the United States and estimates to hire
Knock 'Em Dead
7,000 college graduates this upcoming year. "We look for candidates who possess integrity, honesty, leadership ability and a desire to grow professionally," says Shelley Flones, recruiting supervisor of Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Kansas City, Mo. "Team players with a strong desire to provide exemplary customer service are an ideal fit."
Flones says appearance is very important at an interview. Even if the company environment is casual or business casual, job candidates should dress to impress. She recommends a conservative suit that is clean, neat and pressed to make the right first impression.
Flones also recommends that job candidates practice their answers to decrease nervousness. She says they should identify the skills that are important to the position and find specific examples of situations when they have demonstrated those skills. A job candidate's inability to discuss specific situations and their outcomes is a common mistake, Flones says. She suggests job candidates find exact situations that demonstrate their skills instead of speaking about them generally.
For example, don't hesitate to mention the time you covered for your boss at the movie theater while he was out of town or when you gave the Heimlich to a girl choking on a french fry. Whatever the situation, make sure to highlight it.
Prepared Jayhawks
I asked these students what they have done to prepare themselves for job interviews.
Anthony Brown, Grandview, Mo. senior: "I went to University Career Services and had them look at my resume and cover letter. I also had a mock interview and had informational interviews with different professional employers."
Shannon Cline, Wichita senior: "I have been working to put together my portfolio and make sure it is ready to present to potential employers. I have also picked up information from Career Services about job interviewing tips."

Nothing is more disappointing than pulling your favorite wool sweater out of the dryer two sizes smaller than when you put it in. Whether you forgot to read the label or just didn't sort your laundry, there is hope.
Mix 2 tablespoons of baby shampoo into a sink full of warm water and soak the sweater for about 15 minutes to relax the wool fibers. Without rinsing, roll the sweater in a towel to remove as much of the water as possible. Spread the sweater on a large corkboard. If you don't have one, a hard surface will do fine. Stretch it to the correct shape and size, reshaping every few hours until the sweater is dry. By the end of the day your wool will be good as new.

A Presbyterian church sign in Steelville,Mo in September 2004 reaches out to drug addicts and interested passersby alike.
"THIS IS A CH--CH." The sign caught my attention just as my little green car zoomed past a nondescript brick church on Massachusetts Street, but I knew very well I couldn't just stop in the middle of the road to get a closer look. "WHAT'S MISSING? UR!
It was maddening. The sign was behind me in the blink of an eye, and every time I read it i saw "UR" as "Errr," something like the sound I made when I finally figured it out. In the end, I had to drive past Central United Methodist Church six or seven times before I deciphered the witch hidden in those lines.
The Rev. Denise Hygh, pastor at Central United Methodist, 1501 Massachusetts St., says the sign is out there for just that reason: to make people curious and invite them inside. She says the church rarely used the sign before she came six months ago. When she saw how busy Mass Street was and what a great evangelism tool the sign could be, she says she made a commitment to be more open and inviting to passshery, even if it meant just getting them inside to ask about the message or an upcoming event. She says the sign's message changes as often as every two weeks, depending on what's going on at the church. "It's a clever way of talking about
God," she says.
Central United Methodist and Victory Bible Church, 1942 Massachusetts St., are two churches in the Lawrence area that use their outdoor signage to display thought-provoking messages as well as event announcements. Any church with the income to purchase a sign—often $4,000 or more—could have one, though. Not only are they clever, but they're also a way to bring new people in without expending a lot of manpower, says Aaron Ketchell, lecturer in religious and American studies. Churches that receive governmental financial support in countries such as France have no risk of closing. But in America, he says, "you have to do certain things to stay afloat."
He says the catchy signs are as much about marketing and keeping churches in the black as they are about spreading religion to new people. He says most sociologists of religion would agree that many mainstream churches are losing members. There's a certain art to preaching captivating the congregation is part of it that conservative churches make part of their style and allure, he says. The signs are a way for mainstream Christian churches to attract people in potentially large numbers without a huge marketing team.
But that isn't to say conservative churches don't use them too. Ketchell says the content of each church's sign is determined by how its members think of "what it means to be a religious person." In his experience, conservative churches tend to focus their signage on working toward getting into Heaven. He says one that sticks out in his memory — as one part hilarity, one part "fire and brimstone" — is, "IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BURN IN HELL, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SON-BLOCK."
Clearly, signs' messages can range from the funny and brain teasing to the thought-provoking or fear-inspiring. That's where authors such as Jim Harvey come in. He was inspired to write 701 Sentence Sermons: Attention-Getting Quotes for Church Signs, Bulletins, Newsletters, and Sermons when he was put in charge of the sign at a church in Maryland, where he lived at the time. He composed and compiled the little messages for several years until he had enough to publish in a book. He makes some of them up and collects the rest from television, radio, magazines, books and anywhere else he sees something inspirational or witty. He says churches can use the phrases to reach out to their "drive-by congregations" in addition to regular visitors and members.
Harvey, who now lives in Caledonia,
Mich., says he receives feedback from people on a regular basis, proof that his "sence sermons" are working their magic. He recently got a message from a family saying they drive by his church sign every Monday and that it has become the subject of conversation during their family dinner. Central United Methodist's Rev. Hygh says her church's sign, which sometimes has a creative message and sometimes just announces events, attracts new visitors every week, most recently to the Ash Wednesday service on Feb. 9. Even in my own experience, in the summer of 2000, the same summer that X-Men was released, I drove past a church on Rainbow Boulevard in Westwood with a sign that read "JESUS: THE ORIGINAL X-MAN." I didn't see the parallel and I wasn't quite sure what the church was getting at, but it still brought a smile to my face. I never imagined that four words on a church sign would brighten my workdays consistently for two months, but they did.
I don't go to church. I'm not even sure what my religious beliefs are. Yet I always drive a little slower down Mass Street to see what the signs in front of those churches will say that day. That sign is doing its job. It even got me interested.

Erin May.
Olathe junior
Q: Who would play you in a movie about your life?
Erin: Claire Danes. I was obsessed with My So-Called Life.
Sparky: Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Oh yeah, in my movie, I'd be able to fly and be best friends with a stupid moose.
Q: What's your favorite night spot in Lawrence?
Erin: The back porch of the Jazzhaus. I've participated in illegal activities out there.
Sparky: A nice, quiet tree overlooking Clinton Lake. Well, or maybe the Wheel. Sometimes the drunk kids drop their pizza crust and I get a late-night snack.
Q: If you had to eat the same meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Erin: There's so many to choose!
The genre of Sum 41—whiny, mydad-hates-me, I-can't-get-a-date-injunior-high music.
Erin: I thanksgiving dinner, made by my grandma. Only the turkey would have to be substituted with Tofurkey, now that I'm a "vege."
What band's music would you destroy and scrap from history forever?
**Sparky:** Clusters cereal, Planter's peanuts and beef jerky. Or anything I could steal from birds.
Sparky: Alvin and the Chipmunks. They give neighborhood rodents everywhere a bad name. My voice never sounded that high and obnoxious.
Q: What's your biggest pet peeve?
Erin: Small repetitive noises and white dairy products...not necessarily together.
Sparky: Sometimes I'd be crossing the street and people would speed up when they saw me in the middle of the road ... annoying!

Are you in love with a bitch?
Q
Q. Two of my friends were planning on living together next year, and another one of our friends assumed she'd be living with us too, because she mentioned how we should go apartment-hunting soon. I didn't know what to say, so I just played it off. How should we break it to her that we weren't planning on living with her?
a
—Courtney, freshman
Chris: I too have friends who are great people, but would be terrible to live with! Just kidding. I don't have friends. But if I did and forgot to tell one of them that I would rather make her cry than let her live with me, here's what I'd do. First, figure out the gentlest way to break the bad news. Then tell her as a group. Things might be tense for a week or so, especially while she tries to find an alternative place to live. Maybe she could find an apartment in your same building?
Jessi: The next time she mentions apartment hunting, explain to her your dilemma, or rather, her dilemma of finding new friends that won't ditch her. It would also be considerate of you to mention she needs to find a new apartment with those new friends.
Q
I've fallen in love with this girl who isn't the greatest person most of the time. She is wonderful when she is around me and we have a great time together, but we are not dating. She tells me she doesn't want a boyfriend, but then she goes and sleeps with her ex. What should I do?
a
—A.C.,junior
Jessi: If you can't see the woman you love as wonderful all the time, is she really worth it to you? It's probably true she doesn't want a relationship... with you, but it definitely appears she wants something with her ex. Trust me when I say there are women who will think you are the greatest person ever, and as an added bonus, they won't diddle their exes. Yeah
Chris: From what you've said, it sounds like she just isn't into you. When certain exes have an established sexual history, it's often tempting to settle on sex with them than going through the process of starting something new. For your situation, this blows. I'd make out with one of her friends and if she gets jealous, she's yours for the taking. Not really.
Q
I am an international student and so far, I am discovering college life at KU rather bleak; if not unbearable. The only consolation for me at KU is seeing all the beautiful girls on campus. I find myself attracted to the American girls here. I have never been with an American girl and find it hard to strike up a conversation. It would be a shame to go back home without experiencing some sort of cross-cultural romance. Any advice? —Fez,sophomore
a
Jessi: I suggest you go to parties with hot tubs and say things like "would you like...to touch..my penis?" and "I am a sex machine" in a really hot accent. No, seriously, just approach the girl.
Chris: College life at KU *is* bleak. IT'S WINTER! Once spring comes around, American girls get all slutty and wear skimpy little "outfits" and "cute tops." And they'll sleep with anybody that feigns interest. This is where you come in. Figure out a clever way to start a conversation. Try "I'm lost. Where is this nation's capital?" or "My homework is hurting me. How's yours?" She'll laugh and you can smoothly say "Ha ha, I'm joshing you! I'm actually not lost and simply trying to score with your hot American ass."

To put this in perspective, most computers don't even come with 50 gigs of total space, but my ex was able to store 100 gigs of random people screwing. If you had asked what my opinion on watching pornographic material was before this revelation, I would have said that it was a harmless and healthy activity. But since my discovery, an endless number of questions keep going through my head. Is there such a thing as too much porn? Can porn alter your views on sex? Can it influence your views of the opposite sex? Or is pornography absolutely harmless and I've been worrying for nothing?
Addiction
In less than one year, Matthew Pool says he not only started watching porn, but also became addicted to it. What started out as something to watch with a group of guys a couple times a month turned into something the Lawrence sophomore had to watch daily to get his fix. It got to the point where porn that used to excite him became dull. The positions, the plots, the orgasms... they were all the same. So Pool started increasing the intensity levels of the pornography he watched — from the soft-core porn on HBO to the more hardcore — until he ran out of choices. Pool says pornography became repetitious and boring. But even though the steamy action never changed, he had to keep watching it because it had become his outlet and he needed that release. Pool also avoided relationships during this time. He didn't need one; porn was his new girlfriend.
This is one of the symptoms of porn addictions, says Lawrence certified sex therapist Dennis Detweiler. If you are watching porn for an orgasm, that's OK. But if you're watching it to have an orgasm that you should be having with a partner, thus substituting porn for a relationship, he says you have a problem. The term "porn addiction" has become

something used too carelessly in our society, he says. Pornography addiction has nothing to do with how much porn you watch, but rather how you psychologically handle watching it. "Someone could be watching pornography one time a month and be misusing it," Detweiler says. On the other hand, people could be watching it daily and be perfectly fine.
Couples
Pornography can be fabulous. Not only is it a safe fantasy alternative, but Detweiler says it also can be a fun way for couples to enhance their sex lives. Pornography can be educational because it can broaden people's conceptual levels of sex and possibly make them open to sexual activity. Matt, Overland Park senior, who prefers not to give his last name, says pornography can be healthy for couples because it can offer them new ideas along with getting them in the mood. He says he likes to watch porn with his partners as a foreplay device and then turns it off before sex.
While pornography can be good for couples, it's important that both partners are comfortable with the concept of pornography. "If someone is more conservative, maybe raised in a home where sex is taboo, pornography probably just complicates things," Matt says. Detweiler says that couples who have clashing views on porn can wind up in a never-ending battle. If your partner thinks pornography is wrong, then your partner will see you as an addict every time you watch it.
An attractive porn star with breast implants helps feed the insecurity many women have about porn, says Laura Wade, co-host of KJHK'S "O!," a show for women about sex. "Men are watching the film thinking, 'This is hot, I want to try this in bed,' and women are thinking, 'He's touching himself to her,'" Wade says. She says this problem arises because men and women watch porn differently. "He's not thinking about how the porn star is so much hotter than his girlfriend," she says. Wade suggests that couples find a video together to ease the insecurity. This way they can choose a video they are both comfortable with.
Real life
While pornography can broaden the viewer's sex life, it can often also set up unrealistic ideas about sex. When Mark, Overland Park senior who also doesn't want to use his last name, doesn't just watch porn; he studies it. "I think porn focuses on what appeals to the stereotypical male porn-watcher," Mark says. "It assumes I want to have anal sex with a large-breasted dumb blonde with long fingernails and high-heeled shoes." When he downloaded "Best Porn of 2003," he noticed that all 12 clips at some point featured a couple having anal sex. It's easy to see how this is unrealistic: If you sampled 12 couples, it's doubtful that all of them have had anal sex with each other, Mark says.
Viewers often get these unrealistic ideas about how a sexual relationship should be and how an orgasm works, Detweiler says. Watch any porn film and you'll see the fantasy world porn offers, where women start to have an orgasm after the first five seconds and don't stop until the man ejaculates on them. Detweiler says a problem with pornography is that people can't separate fantasy from reality. Mark separates the two worlds by using pornography solely as a masturbation aid. With pornography, "the male is fucking the girl on camera," Mark says. "They are not making love. They're not passionate." Mark's pornography and his sex life do not intertwine. When Mark has sex, he wants his partner barefoot, smart and small-breasted, but most of all, he wants sex with feelings.
Detweiler says pornography can also make you visually dependent. Fantasy is healthy. But when a person watches too much pornography, he can become dependent on that visual aid because his imagination can't cut it anymore.
The other gender
Women are sexually objectified daily, and pornography helps to encourage those images, says Ann Cudd, director of women's studies. "I think that men who engage in pornography are exerting male privilege and women who engage in it are being co-opted into participating in the oppression of women," Cudd says. This oppression, she says, reduces women's status as thinkers and
When Pool stopped watching porn, he says he started seeing changes in himself. He says he started disrespecting women during his addiction, seeing them as sex objects instead of people. Since he stopped watching pornography, Pool says he has noticed his view of women shifting back to how it used to be; seeing them as people first.
Cold turkey
Wade, the "OI" co-host, says even though she's a women's studies major, she doesn't see the harm in pornography. She says women are objectified in porn, but men are too, and that's something that people tend to forget. Everyone in pornography is a sexual creature, she says.
Pool acknowledges that pornography is one of his weaknesses. He even acknowledges that he has a slip-up once in awhile. His friends still watch pornography, which can sometimes be difficult, but Pool has learned to go into the other room when they're watching videos. To him, it's all a matter of adjusting to his new lifestyle.
Detweiler, the sex therapist, says deleting the porn from your computer may not be enough. Addicts use porn to meet their emotional needs, so he recommends therapy or a 12-step program to help them discover what they're lacking. Pool discovered his need was faith. So he shifted his attention to Christianity. Pool said during his addiction he had a lot of questions that Christianity answered. The needs an addict has can be a variety of things, whether it's finding a focus on family or a relationship. Detweiler says the stress is on finding a focus that is important to you.
So did I overreact when it came to my ex's 100 gigs of porn? Maybe a little. While pornography can be healthy for couples and individuals, you have to be comfortable with it. And I wasn't comfortable with him watching it. Whether he was obsessed with porn is not the point. I learned something about myself. And while I think pornography has its benefits, I believe that porn should come in small doses. As for my ex, it still comes in large ones.

Take it from the people behind the scenes: Music is hard work. An entire business surrounds music that involves a small army of promoters, managers and venue owners who bring you the music you love. The business of music, or more aptly titled "music management," has its rewards.
The Manager
On anything but Joey's tour two years ago, members of the two opening bands almost beat up band manager Misty Roberts when she tried to pay them at a venue in Omaha, Neb. Angry from feeling like they weren't being paid enough money for their opening performances, the high-school aged musicians sought retribution in the form of physical violence against Roberts.
"They felt like it was their show," Roberts says.
The boys threatened her and tempers flared on both sides. In the end, though, nothing happened other than the bruising of a few eggs.
Roberts lists this incident as one of the funnier disasters to come out of Anything but Joe's tour log. Another disaster that was not so funny came a year later—this past fall—when the band's van broke down in Washington, D.C., during the East Coast leg of their national tour. A series of costly events culminated when the band flew their mechanic in from Kansas City, Mo. The band thought the cost of the necessary repairs would be cheaper in the hands of someone who had previously worked on the van. Roberts says this experience nearly ruined the final tour for Anything but Joe who, despite nine years of touring, still made little more than was needed to cover gas to get from one gig to the next.
"When things like that happen, I'm thinking, it's very possible we're going to get this fixed and chuck this tour and go home." Roberts says.
Through these and other trials on the road, Roberts has seen what it takes to successfully manage a band. The 28-year old former KU student had an ear for music and business sensibilities that naturally led her in the direction of music management. When she signed on to be the band's manager three years ago, she lacked a lot of experience. But she made up for it with enthusiasm and a desire to learn. Roberts works a part-time job and focuses the majority of her time booking seven local bands. The process starts with determining each band's market, followed by sending out e-mails and calling venue owners and managers to book shows.
The Venue Promoter
Mike Tiffany, Salina senior, says he views music as more than just a passion; it's a job. Tiffany has been in charge of booking and promotions for The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., for the past two years. He works four to five nights a week at the club, roughly 30 to 40 hours a week, in addition to being a full-time student. During an average work day, Tiffany responds to 50 to 60 e-mails from tour managers, bands and band personnel. He also advances shows, which entails talking to booked bands and determining concert-specific details, such as what to charge at the door and the band's sound requirements. He then pays each band at the end of the night. Tiffany also coordinates promotion for shows, which includes working with graphic designers to design flyers and other promotional materials and assembling a "street team"
to post flyers throughout town.
to post work suits. In many ways, this sort of work suits Tiffany well. Describing himself as a music enthusiast and someone who had "always been in bands," Tiffany wanted to get involved with the music industry. He put in two years of taking tickets, checking ID's and handing out wristbands at The Bottleneck before he was promoted. Now in his fourth year at The Bottleneck, Tiffany says he wants to pursue music management.
"I can't seem to find anything that could suit me better," he says.
The "Street Team" coordinator
Last year, Dave Barrett, Carbondale, Ill.,
junior, handed out 10,000 flyers for the Wakarua Music Festival at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn.
This year, Barrett is on the front lines of promotion for the Wakarusa Music Festival. In high school, Barrett promoted bands like the North Mississippi All-Stars, Umphrey the McGee and Mooshine Still by posting flyers around town and handing out handbills after concerts. He now leads a "street team" of music fans devoted to spreading the word about Wakarusa. In addition to making sure this festival is adequately promoted through his own efforts and those of his assembly of street teamers, Barrett is responsible for the content on the message board at www.wakarusa.com, and he is trying to implement a nationwide model of communication so Wakarusa promoters can keep in touch and network with each other, regardless of distance. While Barrett says he doesn't want to disclose whether or not he is paid, he works anywhere from one to four hours a day and can take days off when he wants. Barrett says anyone can promote a festival.
"It's a gradual process," he says. "Just offer to help and you get more and more involved."
The Publicist
While there's certainly more than one way to break into the business side of the music industry, hard work and dedication are two qualities that distinguish those who make it from those who don't. Ever Kipp, senior publicist with Big Hassle Management, a music management, publicity and licensing firm based out of New York City, says that working in the music industry is filled with glamour but is a hard industry to work in. It often requires hard work with little to no pay in the beginning. After graduating from college, Kipp moved to New York City and intertwined with a small music publicity firm called Girlie Action. He says he worked for free in his first year in music management. After proving his dedication and desire to work in the industry, Oasis Productions, another small music publicity firm based out of New York, hired Kipp. He was promoted within Oasis to handle tour logistics for a handful of indie rock bands. In 1999, Kipp came to Big Hassle where he worked his way up from publicist to senior publicist and worked directly with top national musicians, such as Robert Randolph & The Family Band and Toots and the Maytals. Kipp now manages national musicians such as Mofro, The Capitol Years and Aqueduct. After climbing the corporate ladder for the past 10 years, Kipp says the value of hard work in this industry cannot be overstated.

Fish House Punch
com
At some point in college, you've doubt been at a party where people served jungle juice, trash punch or a sugarycan punch or a sugary-
sweet, sublimely strong punch by some other name. While the idea of creating a large batch of drinks for your guests may seem like a good idea at the time, the concoction usually turns out to be overdone and somewhat juvenile. Fish Bowl Punch, however, isn't your regular alcoholic punch. This drink has an impressive background. George Washington supposedly imbibed this drink on many occasions. Serve this to your friends and impress them with your knowledge of its high-class connections. But like most punches, it's intense, so make sure you keep the portions under control.
Fish Bowl Punch was created in 1732 at the Schuylkill Fishing Club in Philadelphia. It was traditionally served
during cold weather to remind the fishing club members of warmer months. The club held regular meetings, which always began with members drinking this punch. After having this drink, George Washington apparently was too intoxicated to complete his daily journal entries. Follow the lead of the fishing club and prepare this drink for a couple of your drinking buddies.
36 oz. (or 1 liter bottle) dark rum
24 oz. frozen, thawed lemonade
225 oz. (or 750 milliliter bottle)
cognac
4 oz. peach brandy
3/4 pound sugar
40 oz. water
Stir sugar into lemon juice and water until sugar dissolves. An hour before serving, add alcohol and ice and refrigerate. Make sure ice stays cold and doesn't dilute the punch.

If you've ever stayed up late watching the Cartoon Network on Sunday nights, you've heard mc chris. And if you're one of the countless fans of the cult classic Adult Swim cartoons, then you've probably got a shrine to him in your closet. The Libertyville, Ill. rapper started out as the voice of Hesh the angry robot on Sealab 2021 and has since moved on to become the voice of MC Pee Pants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. This Tuesday he'll be slinging rhymes at the Bottleneck as he

passes through Lawrence on his nationwide 10th Jayplaywriter Robert Perkins caught up with him between shows to talk about touring, Adult Swim and Star Wars.
Why did you decide to go on tour? And how's the tour going so far?
I decided to tour last summer in San Diego at Comicon, when I was on an Adult Swim panel there. I rapped a little and this huge room of people went crazy. And I thought to myself, I want to do that again as soon as possible, maybe even do a whole show. I quit my job and came up to New York to record some new stuff, but it quickly became obvious that it was time to tour and not record. As for how it's going, my manager says he can book me every day til Christmas. We've done about 11 or 12 shows so far and have sold out every one of them. The show still has some kinks, but that's to be expected with just one month of rehearsal. The fans have been awesome and meeting them has kicked everything in my life up a notch.
Why did you decide to do a show in Lawrence?
Why did you decide to do a show in Lawrence? Sometimes it's a fan bugging a venue, sometimes it's a venue run by fans, sometimes it's just my booking agent looking to fill in empty spaces on our tour schedule. I plan to go everywhere. Lawrence is just one of the many places where mc fans are hiding out.
'Fett's Vette' has become an underground classic, especially among us Star Wars nerds. Which is your favorite Star Wars movie, and why? Well, ROTJ (Return of the Jedi), just because it's the one I saw in the theaters or remember seeing. The opening at Jabba's was very old school and is probably the closest Lucas ever came to capturing the vibe of the old serials he was trying to imitate (Indy flicks excluded).
What can we expect from your show on Tuesday? Vomiting.
Who do you consider to be your main talent Reggie and Full Effect, The Roots, Talib Kawli, Cibbo Matto. Not all of them are necessarily my favorite bands, but just the way they approach music is what I look at.
Who do you consider to be your main musical influences?
How did you get in with the whole Adult Swim crew?
I got discovered in a bar in Manhattan, I sound weird, and I guess they dug it.
What drew you to Aqua Teen Hunger Force from Sealab 2021?
What drew you to Aqua Teen Hunger Force from Sealab 2021 I just wanted to try something new. I really wanted to be a member of the Williams Street Family. I wanted to see how networks and programming blocks worked not just individual toons.
You've said before that you'd like to do your own cartoon at some point. What sort of show do you have in mind? Not telling. But I've got it all planned out.
And what else do you have planned for the future?
And what else do you have planned I'd like to get married and have a family, but that's way off. I'd like to be on a Harold Team at the UCB Theater in New York. I'd like to make a huge kick-ass album that was half comedy-skits, half rap. I'd like to get a nice car, buy my brother a house. I want to make the mc cartoon. I want to write and direct my own tour DVD, my own music videos, my own films. Besides that I plan on seeing Revenge of the Sith a few thousand gazillion times.

If you've ever stayed up late watching the Cartoon Network on Sunday nights, you've heard mc chris. And if you're one of the countless fans of the cult classic Adult Swim cartoons, then you've probably got a shrine to him in your closet. The Libertyville, Ill. rapper started out as the voice of Hesh the angry robot on Sealab 2021 and has since moved on to become the voice of MC Pee Pants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. This Tuesday he'll be slinging rhymes at the Bottleneck as he

passes through Lawrence on his nation wide tour. Jayplay writer Robert Perkins caught up with him between shows to talk about touring, Adult Swim and Star Wars.
Why did you decide to go on tour? And how's the tour going so far? I decided to tour last summer in San Diego at Comicon, when I was on an Adult Swim panel there. I trapped a little and this huge room of people went crazy. And I thought to myself, I want to do that again as soon as possible, maybe even do a whole show. I quit my job and came up to New York to record some new stuff, but it quickly became obvious that it was time to tour and not record. As for how it's going, my manager says he can book me every day til Christmas. We've done about 11 or 12 shows so far and have sold out every one of them. The show still has some kinks, but that's to be expected with just one month of rehearsal. The fans have been awesome and meeting them has kicked everything in my life up a notch.
Why did you decide to do a show in Lawrence?
Why did you decide to do a show in Lawns? Sometimes it's a fan bugging a venue, sometimes it's a venue run by fans, sometimes it's just my booking agent looking to fill in empty spaces on our tour schedule. I plan to go everywhere. Lawrence is just one of the many places where mc fans are hiding out.
What can we expect from your show on Tuesday? Vomiting.
Fett's Vette' has become an underground classic, especially among us Star Wars nerds. Which is your favorite Star Wars movie, and why? Well, ROTJ [Return of the Jedi], just because it's the one I saw in the theaters or remember seeing. The opening at Jabba's was very old school and is probably the closest Lucas ever came to capturing the vibe of the old serials he was trying to imitate (Indy flicks excluded).
Who do you consider to be your main musical influences?
Who do you consider to be your main music interest Reggie and Full Effect, The Roots, Talib Kawil, Cibbo Matto. Not all of them are necessarily my favorite bands, but just the way they approach music is what I look at.
How did you get in with the whole Adult Swim crew? I got discovered in a bar in Manhattan, I sound weird, and I guess they dug it.
What drew you to Aqua Teen Hunger Force from Sealab 2021?
What drew you to Aqua Teen Hunger Force from Sealab 2021 I just wanted to try something new. I really wanted to be a member of the Williams Street Family. I wanted to see how networks and programming blocks worked not just individual toons.
You've said before that you'd like to do your own cartoon at some point. What sort of show do you have in mind? Not telling. But I've got it all planned out.
And what else do you have planned for the future?
And what else do you have planned for the
I'd like to get married and have a family, but that's way off. I'd like to be on a Harold Team at the UCB Theater in New York. I'd like to make a huge kick-ass album that was half comedy-skits, halp rap. I'd like to get a nice car, buy my brother a house. I want to make the mc cartoon. I want to write and direct my own tour DVD, my own music videos, my own films. Besides that I plan on seeing Revenge of the Sith a few thousand gazillion times.

DIARY
Illustration by Austin Gilmore
Unless you are an only child, you can probably remember a time in your life when tormenting your sibling was fun. Laura Koster,Great Bend sophomore, remembers being the baby of the family until her little brother came along. She recalls one Christmas after all the presents were opened, a big box sat empty in the living room.

"I told my brother we were going to put him in the box and ship him to Africa, and he started crying." Koster says.
he started crying. She says she was just trying to scare him and that she feels bad about it now, but the hair pulling, tattling and sabotage of childhood doesn't always stop when we grow up.
Unreconciled relationships among siblings can lead to more violent acts and even estrangement in adulthood. While most siblings mature over time and learn how to communicate better to resolve their problems, there are always a few that just cannot go along.
just cannot get along.
In childhood, siblings rival for parents' attention and getting their emotional needs met. Siblings may feel that parents give more attention to the other sibling. While this is still an issue for adults in some cases, jealousy arises for different reasons later in life. Whether it's who went to the better college, who is better at what they do, who got married first or who has the better job, as adults, we still deal with issues of envy between those closest to us.
Rosemary Tuggle, director of Clinical Programs for the Family Service and Guidance Center in Topeka, says that rivaling siblings behave more passive aggressively as adults, which looks like tattling or backstabbing.
These behaviors don't appear suddenly in adulthood. They are rooted in years of misunderstandings, judgments, jealousy and assumptions about other people. A continuation of this attitude and unresolved conflicts can carry over into close relationships later in life. It can impact romantic and work relationships, as well as contribute to health issues in the long run.
"Overall ongoing anger and resentment can limit the support and richness that can be found in family life," Tuggle says.
Forgiveness may be difficult in some situations, but it is one of the most powerful tools we possess. Sometimes it takes a mediator with a goal of finding common ground to start with a clean slate and move on. Tuggle says that each individual may need to forgive themselves for past deeds as well as forgiving each other. This process could involve the whole family confronting and helping the fighting siblings to work together.

Tuggle suggests regularly talking to your sibling about their emotions. Trust is also a big part of any relationship, and clear and open communication facilitates a trusting relationship.
a trusting relationship. For Koster, hair-pulling is a thing of the past. She says her relationship with her brother is good now. They're in different stages of life with different things going on. But every once in a while, she teases that she should have been the baby.

The sentimental stuff: part two

When Stephanie Filardo's friends saw the announcement in our Valentine's issue that she was giving away her engagement ring, they were shocked that she
wasn't selling it. The Owensville, Mo. junior says she wouldn't have wanted to buy anything with the money from the ring. After her fiancé broke off the engagement, she decided to give the seven-diamond white gold ring, which she estimates is worth $2,500, to a deserving couple. She had 20 couples respond to the announcement and she chose Lars Larson, Atchison senior, and his girlfriend, Christy Rachow, Phillipsburg junior.
Filardo says she chose the couple
because although they plan to marry sometime next year, they're realistic about not rushing into it, which Filardo says may have been the problem in her former relationship. She was also moved by the way he's planning to propose. Sorry, we can't share that — Christy doesn't know yet.
Larson says the couple met at a party in April 2003 and started dating five months later. "It seems like yesterday that we met and now that Christy is in my life, everything seems like it is going a million miles

Little Black Book Investigating the ex-files
I never thought I'd take love advice from Brittany Murphy, but her performance in Little Black Book made me think. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to EX-trapolate information about your boyfriend's or girlfriend's past relationships. Understanding why past relationships didn't work can tell you a lot about your sweetheart. As Murphy's character's friend said in the movie, if you're not learning from his or her history, you're repeating it.

Lauren Siemens and Kyle Spencer were best friends in middle school. They hung out nearly every day. Right before high school, the Augusta freshmen started drifting apart. It wasn't until a senior campout three years later that they started talking to one another again. They talked all night and realized how much they missed being friends. About a month after that they decided to take it to the next level. They are now closer than ever.

Cursed
(☆☆)
PG-13, 86 minutes, Southwinds 12
Director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson re-team for a horror film that uses all the rules laid out in their Scream series.
Their new flick, Cursed, begins with a brother and sister inflicted with the curse of the werewolf. The siblings must search out the cause of their infliction, all the while dealing with effects of the curse.
People seem to take Wes Craven too seriously since the success of his recent films - he never made thought provoking horrors in the vein of The Sixth Sense or The Others, and in fact has gotten less serious as his career has progressed. This film proves that. There are a number of cheesy moments, including some bad special effects, a filmy plot and unremarkable performances, although Christina Ricci does a good job. There are, however,
lots of jumps and tense moments, despite the lack of the usual Craven gore element, present in his past films — obviously an effect of the Hollywood system he was never a big part of until now. To my knowledge, he has never made a PG-13 horror film before.
Williamson's writing is typical
of his style, part Scream, part Dawson's Creek, but in Craven's hands doesn't take itself so seriously. There are as many laughs as screams. There are also plenty of nods to past horror films throughout the picture, especially in a particular themed club (where Craven's Freddy Krueger is displayed), and Ricci herself looks strikingly like Morticia Addams (her mother when she played Wednesday Addams in the Addams Family films).
I wouldn't call this a good movie, but a lot of fun in an older style of horror film. This is the film that the characters in the Scram series would have loved.

Cube Zero (★☆1/2)
R. 97 minutes, DVD Rental
The third installment of the Canadian cult films set around the unwilling participants of an experiment inside a giant cube
AUTHOR WESTINGHOUSE & BROTHERS
CUBE ZERO
where each room either leads them toward escape or certain death by various gory means.
The first two films were similar in content and style — people wake up in the cube, move from room to room, gradually dying off, while dealing with conflicting personalities within the group. The claustrophobic atmosphere, paranoia and fights between the characters kept things interesting, but also became old by the end of Cube 2: Hypercube. This film takes a fresh approach, by pulling the audience outside the cube for the first time, and concentrating on the controllers who look upon the unfortunate guinea pigs. Interesting issues arise about authority, power
and even a touch of religion, and while dramatic and frightening, is also humorous at points. For the first time, the gory deaths are not the centerpiece, and admirably the movie doesn't overuse computer special effects. Instead it relies on traditional methods. The filmmaking
is well thought out, and the set designs return to the rustic, simple look of the first film, making this a worthy addition to the series.
The DVD has some surprisingly good extras if you are interested in set design and processes put into the making of a film such as this, with storyboard-to-film comparisons, pre-production set designs and a making-of featurette. You can also re-watch the film with the director's commentary.
This is a nice little DVD that should delight fans of the two prequels.

Arular takes a multitude of influences that draw from Jamaican dancehall to American hip-hop, and centers them on the melody of consistent and minimalist beats that put this album above and beyond anything else that's out there. For a woman who has seen so much hardship, she's made one hell of an optimistic
track that bumps so hard you'll be begging the DJ to hit repeat.
M. I.A has an agenda that reaches deeper than making asses shake (though Arular certainly does the trick). She has an unavoidable amount of political baggage that comes through in her exotic sound and subtle lyrics. Maya's
voice has a confident swagger and natural spice that's so irresistible it's easy to see why she is quickly becoming an international force who may take over completely. Start stretching now. This thing is going to make the whole world want to bust a move.

It has been more than six years since Motley Crue was last together, but they have recently reunited to release Red, White & Crime a two-disc greatest hits CD that features three new tracks in addition to their other hits.
The three new songs released are "If I Die Tomorrow," "Sick Love Song" and a cover of The Rolling Stones' song "Street Fighting Man." Unfortunately the song,
with the help of Simple Plan, still don't reflect the sound that the band is known for.
Red, White & Crue is a greatest hits CD of one of the last great rock bands so obviously it is going to be good. You have to admire them for trying to continue their success, but at the same time you
wonder how difficult it would've been for them to write three new songs reflective of their old style. Instead the listener is stuck with a Simple Plan song, a Rolling Stones' song and one mediocre Motley Crue song. At least it isn't an entirely new CD.

ego, the Digital Audio Engine. And like I'm Wide Awake it's Morning, Digital Ash's countriified twin, there is no shortage of notable guests. Enigmatic art-rock weirdo Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs appears on a half-dozen tracks, and beatsmith Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel and Postal Service lends his digital wisdom to the album's first single, "Take it Easy (Love Nothing.)"
But even as the album explores its digitally encrypted self, vintage Bright Eyes remains at its core. Oberst is still a drunken romantic, cursing the government, perennially stuck — physically, mentally and emotionally — somewhere between Omaha and New York. Leaving the "sorrowful Midwest" for NYC on "Gold Mine Gutted," he returns a few tracks later claiming, "I need a break from the city again. I think I'll ship myself back west." Oberst's inability to commit geographically mirrors his inability to commit romantically. On "Take it Easy," he sings, "It isn't so hard to get close to me. There'll be no arguments, we will always agree. And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave; we'll both take it easy."
Images courtesy of amazon.com
As it stands now, the electronic pop of Digital Ash seems to be Bright Eyes' best shot at leaping from indie sainthood to the mainstream. Oberst has been putting out acoustic Bright Eyes records for years with relatively little mainstream notice, but the recent success of the Postal Service shows there may be a
niche market for "emotional" digital pop albums. Though I'm Wide Awake is the better of the two recent Bright Eyes releases — Oberst has been perfecting that sound for years — Digital Ash is more exciting. If it's a preview of future releases, Digital Ash will mark the point of departure. If it's merely a one-time experiment, it will become a Bright Eyes anomaly. Right now however, it stands as one of the young 2005's best records.

Constantine PS2, Xbox, PC
...
Movie companies nowadays seem to be compelled to release games based on their movie property. This would be all well and good if their purpose was to present gamers with a unique experience and not just trying to cash in on their movie rights. Constantine is much like an alien probe: unnecessary and generally unpleasant.
Photos courtesy of www.IGN.com
The story driving this game is basically a skewed version of what happens in the movie; omitting characters and changing events. Some parts are taken directly from the movie, however, and they seem to work the best, especially the opening exorcism scene.
Aside from the story, most of the things seen in the movie make an appearance in the game. Keanu Reeves becomes equipped with his gold knuckles, holy shotgun, and the ability to go to hell. The game has additional weapons such as The Crucifier, a rapid firing nail gun. A spell system has been added as well, granting players the power to smite foes with holy lightning and to turn enemies to stone.
There just isn't really enough here to keep someone entertained, unless of course that person is a huge fan of the movie. Nothing besides the story is new here, and that alone can't make up for the rest of the game. Constantine goes the way of most movie spin-offs and does a rather poor job of capturing the essence of the movie, which in this case wasn't incredibly great itself.
Champions:
Return to Arms
PS2
— Nick Finnegan
Grade: D+
IGN.COM
For some, this game will be a testosterone-fueled trip of continuous hacking and slashing. Those gamers, myself included, will be perfectly happy being a barbarian. For those who want to cast spells and use that silly mana stuff, this game will be about customizing a character's moves and armor until your fighting style is in sync.
Before reviewing Champions, I had never played any other Norath games, but I was never lost in the story. Actually, I feel the complete lack of story may have been a strong point.
Champions allows you to play with up to four people. This way, as a barbarian, you can team up with your mana-hugging buddies, the wizards, and use some strategy. This is hours of fun, but it needs some work. Only two players can have their equipment screens visible at one time. Not one of the 14 buttons on the controller allows you to hand an item to another player. This means that for every hour you spend killing, you spend 10 minutes dropping items on the ground for someone else to pick up and equip. This created a serious lull in my continuous barbarian-killing-monsters-with-sword/ax time.
Although I never had enough time to play the game both as a good and bad guy, I'm aware of the choices you get to make that affect which levels you play. I also never experienced online play. But according to Electronic Gaming Monthly, you benefit by playing the online mode after you have beaten the game offline.
All flaws aside, this game is worth your time if you're a fan of hack and slashes or Diablo-esque games.

Fox McCloud and his team return once again to save the galaxy from evil. This is yet another title where Fox can leave the comfort of his Arwing and hit the surface. Star Fox Assault is another good title in the Star Fox Family. The game combines great graphics, good gameplay and the old-school feeling.
The game starts with Fox being called out to finish off the last of Andross' army, now lead by Andrew Oinkinny, Andross' nephew, and an old member of Star Wolf. After you defeat him, you discover the coming of a new enemy called Apareoids. Now the Star Fox team has been called in for the mission of saving everything in existence from this alien menace.

The game still has your wingmen around to help you out and lend colorful commentary to missions. And yes, they still ask for help when they have enemies on their tail. However, now when you help them out they will be more grateful and will give you items to help you along in the mission, such as extra health, or extra supplies.
this game is a step up from the previous Star Fox Adventure. This game goes back to its original roots and most of the gameplay is in the cockpit of the Arwing. However, now there are levels that require Fox to go on foot with his blaster in hand and blast the Aparoids like a lone soldier from *Starship Troopers*. While on land, he still has the option of getting in the Landmaster tank and crushing the enemies beneath its treads. These options gives the game a more fun feel, allowing for players to create different strategies to complete missions.
The only real problem I had with this game was that this game ended too quickly for me. When things started to get real good, the game ended with some questions left unanswered.
Also, the multiplayer function is back where up to four people can engage in dogfights. They still incorporate the option of switching vehicles in certain stages.
Star Fox Assault is a good title. It deserves a rental at least, but if you want to unlock everything and get all the medals in the game, you may have to buy it.

Marriage and the evil truths
I wish I would have known

I spent my honeymoon in Branson, Mo. I could say don't knock it 'til you've tried it, but I feel a bit dejected because two of my best friends went to Jamaica and the Bahamas for their honeymoons. It was a nice trip, but sitting through the Dixie Stampede just can't stand up to lounging in a hammock overlooking the crystal-clear, blue waters of the Caribbean. I guess I'll chalk it up with the rest of the ideas I had about marriage that, in the past two years, simply didn't play out as expected.
Grub time
Many girls spend their childhoods dreaming about being married. They dream of the tall, dark and handsome prince who will sweep them off their feet and carry them into a life of perfection. My own dreams of marriage grandeur included candle-lit dinners, romantic vacations and, of course, a sex life to be envied by all. Here are the harsh realities:
Dinner is hardly candle-lit and rarely at the dinner table. Our 1950s dinner table, courtesy of my great grandmother, sits folded in half in our dining/living/office spacrs. It is a magnet for transient papers, homework and usually chocolate, I think we've cleared it off maybe 10 times in two years. No, we usually eat dinner on the floor in front of the television. Although we have TV trays, we're just too lazy to use them. Being the amazing chef that I am, our dinner normally consists of hamburger helper, macaroni and cheese or—if we're lucky — spaghetti. I'm trying to broaden my horizons as the budding cuisine-goddess woman of the household that I should be, but who has the time? In a world of fast-food ecstasy we often find ourselves trying to justify a trip to El Mez
cal or Subway after destroying our apartment looking for money. Who needs to pay bills?
Imaginary vacations
As for romantic vacations, we spent a weekend at a bed and breakfast that nearly broke us. One night in a renovated barn in the country with a pond, an indoor swimming pool, a hot tub and a retreat of 50 middle-aged women. Aside from the cackling, noisy women dancing above our room, it was romantic. Because the women were attending conferences and spent most of their time together, the heated pool and hot tub were all ours. Windows looking out across the moonlit countryside were all around us, and we were in heaven. As bills stack up every month, though, I've learned not to expect vacations very often. We can't afford a road trip, let alone a cruise. And forget about airplane tickets.
My husband and I chose not to have sex before we were married. We had huge expectations and no experience, but contrary to what movies and television tell you, it's not so easy the first time. At least it wasn't for us. Forget wedding night bliss. We were so tired from the whole day that we could barely move. Yes, the moment we had waited four years for, the absolute pinnacle of our wedding day, the catalysmic, life-changing event ended with both of us exhausted and asleep in each other's arms. It was wonderful to be together, however. It was our first time sleeping in a bed together, our first time waking up together and our first road trip together.
Sex
It's
been challeng-
Balancing act
ing, however. It has taken these last two years to semi-master the art of sex, but then it's only when we make the time.
Finding stability is one of the hardest aspects of marriage. Simply put, men need sex and women need emotional closeness. That's not to say that these needs are exclusive to either gender, but the two go hand in hand. Finding time for sex before you're married might be easier. I wouldn't know. But when those vows are over and it's a free romp for the rest of your lives, it kind of takes a spot on the back burner. When work, school, homework and hobbies get in the way of your relationship, neither partner is being fulfilled. But here's the amazing part I've learned: As women, the more focused we are on fulfilling the sexual needs of our husbands, the closer he feels to us and the more emotional fulfillment we'll see. Consequently, the more we'll enjoy and want to have sex. It's circular.
Aside from balancing sex with everything else, finding time to be together also can be difficult. My husband's dreams of knocking off The Edge, befriending Bono and becoming the next rock god means he spends a ton of time playing the guitar. I, on the other hand, have become painfully obsessed with reality TV, which leaves me mesmerized for hours at a time. I don't want to sit and watch him play guitar, and his ability to stare at the TV compares little
mine.
So how do
we reconcile
and find quality time?
akes prioritizing. Of course
It takes prioritizing. Of course we are the most important people in each other's lives, but we might take that for granted sometimes. Going from the single life, where you do whatever you want, to constantly considering another person in your decisions takes a lot of adjustment and sacrifice.
Then and Now
Instead of splitting rent and bills with three other people, it's just the two of us trying to eke our way through on one salary. Doing the household chores now means cleaning up after two people instead of one, which might be my least favorite part of marriage. Instead of hanging out with many different people, it's usually just us. We used to think we'd die before we saw each other again. Now, when we are together, we're probably thinking about something else. Fighting used to be escapable by going home. Now that we share a home, we spend many late nights working out our differences so we don't go to bed angry. But I still love waking up with my husband. I have someone who shares my hopes and dreams. Someone who would stop the world to make me feel better when I am sad. Someone who never gets tired of holding my hand and tells me I'm beautiful every day. Someone I know I can count on, no matter what. Yes, marriage is a lot of work, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Former Kansas guard named interim coach
Pritchard replaces Portland's Cheeks
BY ANNE M. PETERSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Ore. — For all his popularity among the players and the fans, Portland Trail Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks ultimately didn't have the wins.
A. B. M.
Kevin Pritchard, director of player personnel for the Portland Trail Blazers, speaks at a news conference in Portland, Ore., yesterday. Pritchard was appointed interim coach after Maurice Cheeks was fired by general manager John Nash.
Greg Wahl-Stephens/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former Kansas guard and team director of player personel Kevin Pritchard was named interim coach.
Cheeks was fired yesterday morning, after the Blazers had lost seven of their last nine and tumbled to 22-33.
"It's a sad day for me because I've got guys on my team that I really ... ," Cheeks said, his voice trailing off in disappointment during an emotional news conference a few hours after he was let go.
"I didn't do as well a job as I could have, as I did in previous years," he concluded.
With Portland's chances of making the playoffs dwindling, the Blazers chose to look for other options.
"Our players liked Mo a great deal, but sometimes a fresh
voice might ignite them to go in a different direction," Blazers general manager John Nash said.
While the Blazers are not entirely giving up on the playoffs, Pritchard's appointment shows the team is going to focus on evaluating younger players.
"I'm not going to mislead anybody. It's a long hill battle to get to the playoffs from where we're at — 11 games under .500." Blazers president Steve Patterson said.
The Blazers are in 12th place in the Western Conference, six games behind the Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot. Portland went 41-41 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time in 22 years.
Portland's latest defeat came Tuesday night, 103-93 to the defending champion Detroit. That left Cheeks with a 162-139 record as Blazers coach. He was in the final year of a four-year contract worth an estimated $12 million.
Cheeks, who played in the NBA for 15 seasons, was hired
by Portland in 2001 to replace Mike Dunleav.
"I enjoyed teaching kids, I enjoyed being around the players and I loved the game itself," Cheeks said.
But the Blazers hardly made Cheeks' tenure easy, on or off
There were several players cited for marijuana possession and forward Qyntel Woods was investigated in a dog fighting scandal.
the court.
Former Blazers forward Rasheed Wallace drew unwanted attention to the team two seasons ago when he threatened a game official on the loading dock of the Rose Garden. Wallace, later traded, was suspended for seven games by the NBA.
Although he was generally popular among his players, Cheeks did have a couple of high-profile verbal run-ins with former guard Bonzi Wells and current forward Darius Miles. Both players served team suspensions for their actions.
Cheeks never shied away from questions about his team's misbehavior, bringing him the respect of fans and reporters who covered the Blazers.
He endeared himself to many in April 2003 when he came to the rescue of a 13-year-old girl, Natalie Gilbert, who forgot the words to the national anthem before a playoff game against the Dallas Mavericks. Cheeks went to her side and helped her with the words.
Both Patterson and Nash said it was with great regret that they broke the news to Cheeks at the team's practice facility yesterday
morning.
"We were kind of hoping in January and February that we'd gain some momentum — but that didn't happen." Nash said.
The assistants who served under Cheeks will remain with the team.
Cheeks, 48, said he'd likely take a vacation, and wouldn't mind coaching in some capacity again soon.
"I love the game too much to stay away," he said.
Pritchard, hired by the Blazers in August after serving as a scout for the San Antonio Spurs, was asked if he thought the role as interim coach was an audition.
"This is not the role and not the career path I want to take," Pritchard said. "That said, I would do anything to help this organization."
NBA
Pritchard, 37, who played at Kansas, spent four seasons in the NBA. Before joining the Spurs organization, he served as coach, general manager and director of player personnel for the Kansas City Knights of the American Basketball Association.
Kobe Bryant, accuser settle lengthy civil lawsuit
BY JON SARCHE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The 20-year-old woman who accused NBA star Kobe Bryant of rape nearly two years ago settled her civil lawsuit against him yesterday.
"The parties and their attorneys have agreed that no further comments about the matter can
Terms were not released. A statement faxed to The Associated Press by Bryant's attorneys said only that the matter had been resolved "to the satisfaction of both parties."

or will be made," the statement said. A motion to dismiss the case was filed simultaneously in Denver federal court.
A Los Angeles Lakers spokesmar
said Bryant declined to comment on the settlement. Bryant was in Boston for a game against the Celtics and was unavailable before the game.
The lawsuit, filed three weeks
before the criminal case against Bryant, collapsed last summer and sought unspecified damages for mental injuries, public scorn and humiliation the woman said she has suffered since their June 2003 encounter at the Vail-area hotel where she worked.
A married father of one, Bryant has apologized for his "behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered," but has insisted the sex was consensual.
Speculation that a settlement was close increased Monday after L. Lin Wood, one of the woman's attorneys, said
A married father of one, Bryant has apologized for his "behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered,"but has insisted the sex was consensual.
Bryant's long-awaited deposition three days earlier had been called off. Legal experts said a settlement would be in the best interest of both parties because it would spare them the expense and possible embarrassment of
a trial.
Bryant, 27, has never been questioned under oath about what happened in his hotel room as he prepared for knee surgery in Vail the next day.
The accuser is now married
and pregnant. Like the criminal case, the civil case ultimately would have rested on the testimony of a woman the defense suggested was a promiscuous, attention-seeking liar.
The lawsuit was similar to the outline of the criminal case, accusing Bryant of flirting with the woman during a tour of the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera. After the two ended up in his room, they began to kiss and Bryant became more aggressive, finally holding her by the throat while he raped her, the lawsuit said.

Party hurts house
IFC decides Phi Kappa Theta's future on campus tonight
BY ERIC SORRENTINO
esorrentino@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The judicial board of the Interfraternity Council will decide on the necessary punishment tonight for an unregistered party at Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. 1111 W. 11th St.
Lawrence police responded to a noise complaint at the fraternity house two weeks ago.
Kevin Lampe, national secretary of Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, said the national headquarters, in Carmel, Ind., indefinitely suspended the chapter Feb. 25.
"We're really disappointed in the conduct of the chapter," Lampe said.
With the suspension, the fraternity cannot participate in social functions, perform rituals or recruit new members. Lampe said the Phi Kappa Theta national board of trustees would conduct a hearing later this spring.
The national ruling will be a separate ruling from the IFC's local ruling tomorrow night. Lampe said the national board

5 Any person fitting the definition of a non-member must be placed on a guest list. A copy of the guest list, with names alphabetized, must be turned in with the PNF.

STUDENT SENATE ELECTIONS
Tuition still groups' focus
Proposed increase for CLAS students scrapped by dean
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Senate candidates responded Wednesday to the decision by Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, to not go forward with his tuition increase proposal.
The newest coalition, Student Voice, came out against the differential tuition proposal — under the plan CLAS students would pay $10 more per credit hour — on its platform and made the issue its number-one priority.
Dennis Chanay, presidential candidate for Student Voice, said tuition is still an issue, even though Wilcox would not propose the increase to Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Steve Munch, student body president, wrote in an e-mail that a draft for fixed tuition was being reviewed and critiqued by administrators and students. Fixed tuition would apply to all students. Under the plan, administrators would project future increases and average projected increases, then determine a flat rate each student would pay his first four years at the University. The plan could go into effect in 2007. A student vote on fixed tuition would probably happen next spring, according to the e-mail.
Chanay said that although students would pay a flat rate throughout college tuition increases would still happen.
KUnited has voiced its support of fixed tuition in the current administration.
Chanay said he would be against fixed tuition. Tuition is still a big concern for students, Chanay said.
Chanay said that although students would pay a flat rate throughout college, tuition increases would still happen.
"They would be making increases before they know what they are spending the money on," Chanay said. "That seems backwards to me."

Burge Fitness to close
Drop in attendance reason for decision
BY ADAM LAND aland@kansan.com KANSAN STAFE WRITER
Students will not be working out in the Burge Union Fitness Center for much longer.
Agreements between the University Recreation Services and the KU Memorial Unions ended this month and will not be renewed, said Julie Urkoski, fitness director for
Recreation Services.
Mary Showman, Bennington, Neb., sophomore enjoys the center for its anonymity.
"I always have a machine here," said Mary Showman, Bennington, Neb., sophomore. "I don't have to wait in line, and I can fit working out into my schedule whenever I want to."
Showman, member of Pt Bla Phi sorrisy, said the short walk to the center made working out hassle-free.
"I think it really sucks that this place is closing," Showman said. "But I am going to go to the new
recreation center, it's farther and more crowded, but I don't really have any other options."
Although the center does offer a less crowded place to workout, this luxury will be its undoing.
"We really have seen a drop in attendance," Urkoski said. "We are not going to keep it open with the new recreation center so close."
The Burge Union Fitness Center attendance has fallen to fewer than 100 people a day, said Urkoski. She said the closure date was not known, but it
may be as soon as spring break.
"Nothing is certain as of yet," she said.
None of the 10-15 students who work their will lose their jobs, Urkoski said. Center employees will work for the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Urkoski said she thought people disenfranchised by the closing would go to the Recreation Center.
The Burge Fitness Center will be replaced by offices.

High-speed pursuit
Man steals student's car, leads police on 100 mph chase
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A 20-year-old man led Lawrence police on a high-speed pursuit that didn't end until the car ran out of gas in Olathe.
The man entered a KU student's house while she was asleep, took her car keys and stole her 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee at about 1:40 a.m. yesterday. One of Elise Berlau's roommates saw the man driving the car away and told her, according to a Lawrence police report. Police arrived at the scene minutes later.
Officers located the stolen vehicle around 1:48 a.m. at the corner of 23rd and Alabama streets.
When officers attempted to
stop the vehicle, the suspect drove east on 23rd Street.
The pursuit continued east of Lawrence on Kansas Highway 10 and ended in Olathe after the stolen vehicle ran out of gas, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
Police arrested Loren Partrich, Lawrence resident, and booked him into Douglas County jail at 3:19 a.m. on charges of aggravated burglary, felony theft, flee and attempt to elude and reckless driving, Ward said.
Berlau, Overland Park senior, picked up her car about 3:30 a.m. in front of the Johnson County jail, right where the car had run out of gas.
The pursuit reached speeds of about 100 mph. Ward said.
Partrich had been arrested on Feb. 25 for criminal trespass after it was reported that he walked into a residence in the 700 block of Michigan Street. The victims reported that nothing was taken, but that they did not know Partrich. Ward said.
In that report, a 19-year-old KU student told Lawrence police that items totaling about $630 were stolen from her car, including a $250 iPod and a $70 radar detector.
After further investigation,
police determined that Partrick was involved in an auto burglary earlier that evening in the 1300 block of Louisiana Street.
Berlau said that this wasn't the first time that she thinks someone has illegally entered her house, located in the 1000

"I couldn't do that without taking artistic license that I couldn't take," Hines said.
"You Can't Take It With You," written by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, is about Alice Sycamore bringing her strait-laced, upper-class boyfriend home for dinner with her wacky family who makes fireworks in its basement and has a pet snake.
Mr. DePinna, played by Lawrence Henderson, Lansing sophomore, examines a firecracker with Paul, played by Justin Knudsen, Lakeville, Minn., junior, during rehearsal Wednesday night. Henderson and Knudsen performed during the dress rehearsal of "You Can't take it With You." The play is being produced by University Theatre March 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 in Murphy Hall.
If the play was set in 2005 instead of the '30s, topics like the Bush administration, the Iraq war and the Vietnam war would have to be in the dialogue, said Hines.
The notion of an interacial gay couple was viable in the '30s. Hines said.
"Gay people didn't happen last Tuesday, they've been around for eons and eons," Hines said. "White men would go to clubs in Harlem to listen to music. The character could go to Harlem and find Ed."
Another change Hines made to the play is the servants Donald and Reba, who are traditionally black, are played by white actors.
“If we had two Uncle Toms or two black servants, it wouldn't make sense to audiences,” said Justin Krusden, Lakeville, Minn., junior, who plays Paul Sycamore. “People would think, ‘Oh, we're watching a racist play.’”
The characters Mr. Kirby and Gay Wellington are played by black actors.
In her 30s, her plays were being produced nationally.
Theater students have a different work ethic from professionals, Hines said. She has to remind students to show up for costume fittings and to keep healthy — something she doesn't have to do with professionals.
"I've had a couple problems," said Hines, who has guest directed at three other universities. "There was one student who said, 'We're not professionals, we're volunteers.' I told her, I'm treating you as professional.' I expected more than the actor was used to."
Hines has been involved in theatre since she was 11 years old and has directed plays since she was in her 20s.
A guest director brings in a professional aspect to play production that helps students prepare for the real world, said Lawrence Henderson, Lansing sophomore, who plays Mr. DePinna.
"She chews us out for not getting things done," Henderson said. "She came in our first rehearsal and told us that auditions sucked and we had to get in gear. Professional directors aren't to baby you."
To play Mr. DePinna, a wacky Italian who loves fireworks, Henderson had to shave his head like a full sufferer of male pattern baldness.
The hairird attracts a lot of questions on campus and at parties, which gives Henderson the opportunity to plug the play.
"A lot of people shave their heads," Henderson said. "But no one shaves their head like a 50-year-old man."
After the play, Hines plans on tak

Professor studies depression

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
When treating clinical depression, some researchers say a change in a person's lifestyle can have the same effect as taking a pill.
Psychology professor Steve ilardi talks with a student in his office in Fraser Hall yesterday afternoon. ilardi is conducting research to determine the effects of lifestyle changes in people with depression.
"In many ways, our modern 21st century, socially isolated environment is psychologically toxic," said Steve Iardi, professor of psychology.
Erin Droste/KANSAN
Ihardi, along with project coordinator Leslie Karwoski, Lawrence graduate student in psychology, has developed a promising therapeutic study involving KU students who suffer from depression. The study offers an alternative treatment to antidepressants that consists of a few simple lifestyle changes.
Sunlight, exercise, diet, social interaction, reaction to sadness and sleep habits are all lifestyle factors that have antidepressant properties. Ilardi's research team is now in the process of combining them in order to study their short-term and long-term effectiveness on treating depression.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 22 percent of Americans 18 and older — roughly one in five adults — suffers from depression. The latest research suggests that the risk of relapse is as high as 75 percent among those who recover from an episode of depression, mostly because they are not given enough information and tools to prevent reoccurrence.
Hardi proposes that depression rates are increasing in part because of the psychologically harmful effects of our modern lifestyle. He also said that although many people believe antidepressant medications like Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac and Wellbutrin are a cure for depression, there are many patients for whom these drugs simply don't work.
Sunlight plays a large factor in the average adult's level of energy and happiness. He said exposure to sunlight had many mood-elevating effects. Because of the modern human's dependence on interior lighting, the internal circadian rhythm — the regular cycle of sleeping
He based his conclusion on numerous studies concerning the lack of depression in ancestral hunter-gatherer groups that live away from modern civilization.
The study is based on the theory that the environment serves as a natural antidepressant and although depression in part may be caused by genetics, it is not necessarily part of the brain's evolutionary makeup.
"It is possible that we don't have any antidepressant circuitry in the brain because we were always anti-depressed by our environment." Ilardi said.
.
Diet and exercise also contribute to a person's mood. Aerobic exercise influences how much serotonin and dopamine our brain receives, both of which trigger emotions of happiness.
The study is in group format because socialization is a key aspect to the treatment of depression.
"Being surrounded by close friends always puts me in a better mood," said Joe Bell, Lawrence junior, "because I think your social environment is extremely important in determining the mood you're in."
There will be two studies each semester for the next year at least. Because it is a research study, the therapy is free. For more information, contact Leslie Karwoski at 218-6336.

A student walks along a sidewalk leading up to Stauffer-Flint Hall yesterday afternoon. "Screw KU" and other derogatory statements about the University of Kansas and the men's basketball team were written in chalk along campus sidewalks. Additionally, several signs attacking individual players were found yesterday morning behind Budig Hall and Anschutz Library. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the perpetrators had too much time on their hands.
"And they don't have the creativity to put that spare time to good use," he said. The Antlers, a group of men's basketball fans at the University of Missouri, have committed similar pranks in the past. They held a rally yesterday in Columbia, Mo., where they gathered signatures for a "Bomb Kansas" petition.

Jayhawk Express to stop two hours earlier
The Jayhawk Express, a free bus for students on campus, will end its route two hours earlier beginning Monday.
The Jayhawk Express will stop daily service at 1:45 p.m. instead of 3:45 p.m.
Students voiced the need to have more buses in the morning on the Naismith/Oliver route because students had trouble making it to class on time.
The transportation board decided to cut two hours off the Jayhawk Express route because that time is when students least use the bus, said Blake Huff, transportation coordinator for
KU on Wheels.
The hours will be used for an extra bus to pick up students at the Naismith/Oliver-GSP stop in the morning, Huff said.

Christian, geologist to discuss evolution
As the Kansas State Board of Education nears its final decision on the issue of evolution in schools, one Kansas State professor is trying to show there shouldn't be an issue.
Keith Miller, a geologist and an evangelical Christian, will come to Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., on Sunday. He will address the conflict between faith
and evolutionary theory.
Miller has no trouble reconciling his faith with evolution, said Rachel Robson, Plymouth member and University of Kansas School of Medicine graduate student.
"He wants to take questions from everyone, those who question evolution and even Christianity," Robson said.

While Robson said the event was aimed at anyone, she expected a heckler or two to make it into the crowd.

Democracy slow to set; violence resumes
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Car bombs killed six policemen and wounded 15 in new attacks on Iraq's security services yesterday as political factions wrangled over putting together a government.
The Shiite Muslim-dominated United Iraqi Alliance and a Kurdish coalition, which emerged from the Jan. 30 elections with the two biggest blocks of seats in the National Assembly, made little headway in their talks on combining forces to select the leaders of the new government.
Forming Iraq's first democratically elected government is a key step in the U.S. plan for stabilizing the country, and insurgents have been striking at Iraqi police and military forces seeking to undermine the effort.

AVIATION
Pilot lands safely after solo flight
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The millionaire adventurer became the first person to fly around the world alone without stopping or refueling yesterday, touching down in Salina after a 67-hour, two-minute, 38-second 23.000-mile journey.
SALINA — First by balloon, now by plane,
Steve Fossett is once again a 'round-the-world
record holder.
"That was something I wanted to do for a long time, a major ambition." Fossett said.
Fossett's GlobaFlyer, designed by the same engineer who came up with the Voyager aircraft that first completed the trip in 1986 with two pilots aboard, touched down on the center line at the Salina airport at 1:50 p.m. yesterday.
Fossett, who failed five times before successfully circumnavigating the globe solo in a balloon, needed just one try to make the trip in a plane. This latest adventure gives Fossett another aviation record, adding to the many he holds.
Immediately after leaving the cockpit, a jubilant Fossett hugged his wife, Peggy, and was congratulated by Sir Richard Branson, the Virgin Atlantic founder who financed the flight.
Although he looked surprisingly fresh, Fossett said he was tired and ready for a bath and a good meal. He planned to rest before attending a celebration for the crew and supporters last night in Salina.
"It's been a magnificent trip." Branson said "He was obviously over the moon about it."
Fossett said he survived on 12 milkshakes and water during the flight. He said his main problems during the flight were headaches, which went away when he drank water, and a lack of sleep. Fossett used bottles as his bathroom.
Branson grabbed a bottle of champagne from Fossett, shook it up, and sprayed down the pilot.
He said he was overwhelmed by the number of people who watched the flight on television and the Internet. But he insisted his adventures were not just publicity stunts.
"There are certain things that are just missing on this airplane," he said in reference to the lack of a bathroom.
"I would do these things if nobody was paying attention." Fossett said.

Fossett chose Salina because he needed a long runway for the takeoff and landing. The runway in Salina — once used to train WWII bomber crews — is about 12,000 feet long.

Police capture drug trafficker

detained a U.S. fugitive
wanted for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to distribute drugs in Kansas City, Mo., authorities announced yesterday.
The arrest ends a three-year manhunt for Steven
James Cullinane, who police had long suspected to be living in this Central American nation.
Costa Rica's Security Ministry said Cullinane, 36, was detained on Wednesday at Jaco beach
on the country's Pacific coast, where he identified himself to police as Patrick Connan Cullinane. He is being held pending extradition to the United States.

junior, made fixed tuition a priority during his time as president. He ran for the KUitedon coalition last year.
Nick Sterner, Shawnee junior and KUnited's presidential candidate this year, said he supported the fixed tuition plan.
"This is Steve's issue that he started," Sterner said. "I 100 percent support the plan and hope it gets done this year."
Elaine Jardon, presidential candidate for Delta Force, said the coalition did not have enough information to have a strong opinion on the issue yet. Jardon said the coalition would have a stronger stance on fixed tuition once it learned more about the proposal.
Wilcox's decision will not change Delta Force's campaigning. Jardon said that while the tuition proposal was an issue, it was not at the heart of the party's campaign.

She said she was worried more about the safety of her and her roommates than whether she got her car back, she said.
"I don't care that much about my car," Berlau said. "I more worried that the key to our house was taken and that they knew where we lived."
Berlau wanted people
who live in that area of Lawrence to be aware of what's going on and keep their doors locked. She and other people in their neighborhood have had problems before with people who live in the alleyways near her house, she said.

Scott Shorten, president of the IFC, said that a chapter must register parties with the IFC and Panhellenic Association through a party notification form. Phi Kappa Theta did not fill out a form. Shorten said the chapter violated many policies of the joint alcohol policy of the IFC and PHA.
Lampe said the penalty might include the fraternity losing their charter. Without a charter, the chapter of the fraternity can not exist on campus.
Shorten said that even though he was disappointed in the incident, this was an isolated instance in the greek community.
He said an average of two to four parties were scheduled every weekend. He said seven parties were scheduled this weekend, with the increase coming from two Mom's Day parties.
"I would say the fact that we were recognized as having good risk management policies reinforces that what we are doing here works," Shorten said.
Laura Bauer, program director for fraternity and sorority life, said the violation was a result of the chapter simply not reading and understanding the policy.
The IFC and PHA received various awards at the MidAmerican Greek Council Association conference in Chicago two weekends ago — the same weekend the Phi Kappa Theta incident occurred.
"Nobody in recent history can remember anything to this effect," Bauer said. "Everyone I've talked to says this hasn't happened recently."
Shorten said the decision from the IFC judicial board will be made by 6 p.m. tomorrow.

AS I SEE IT
Don't trust what Bush says; beware of conscription policy
BOB JOHNSON
bjohnson@kansan.com
Sometimes you have to fight. There are times when nothing else will do, times when any risk is vastly outweighed by what will be lost by striving for passivism or useless diplomacy. Sixty years ago I would have strapped on a helmet, said my prayers and stormed Omaha Beach
because I believed in the cause Americans were fighting for in World War II. I will not take this same path in recent years because I will not fight for something I do not believe in. Apparently, as evidenced by widespread officer retirements and recruiting difficulties plaguing our armed forces today, many young Americans agree with me. This isn't good news for the Pentagon, and it could spell bad news for you too.
Say you are a young surgeon starting a family and beginning a career. Everything seems to be in place when one day, while sitting through your mail, you come across a letter from the Selective Service. Congratulations! You have been chosen to drop your life, get fitted in fatigues, and ship out to Iraq in a few months. Seem far fetched to you? Sorry to rock your world, but it's not.
The Selective Service has begun to "re-engineer" the draft around drawing skill-based men and women into military duty. Our armed forces lack individuals trained in specific skill areas like health care and engineering., and this new draft format is designed to quickly and efficiently remedy that dilemma. No longer will the Selective Service collect merely the name, Social Security number and date of birth of each American male — women, along with men, will be required to consistently update information on their definable skills until they are ineligible for the draft at age 35. A plan for drafting doctors and nurses is already in place, and the goal of the Selective Service is to make that design easily adaptable to draft individuals from other skill-related fields. In other words if you are trained to speak Korean or build computer networks, you should start following the news.
PAGE 5A
President Bush has said that "we're not going to have a draft — period." Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld asserts that "the idea of reinstating the draft has never been debated, endorsed, discussed, theorized, pondered or even whispered by anyone in the Bush administration." I would love to believe him, but it is hard to deny cold hard facts to the contrary. A memo that became public information by the Freedom of Information Act details a meeting in February 2003 between the Selective Service's acting director and two of Rumsfeld's undersecretaries in
which the focal topic was the possibility of returning to the draft. Despite the Bush administration's desire to avoid a draft, the memo states, "Defense manpower officials" have recognized the shortage of skilled military personnel and the lack of funding to attract those individuals voluntarily. Consequently, the plan to "re-engineer" the draft to acquire these individuals was developed.
This new skills-based draft doesn't mean that the old Vietnam-style free-for-all draft is out the window either. Retired General Merrill McPeak, who served as Air Force chief of staff under the first President Bush, believes that it isn't brainpower our armed forces are lacking, but manpower.
Some liberal politicians have also surprisingly spoken out in support of the draft. On the eve of our invasion of Iraq, Representative Charles Rangel, a Democrat from New York, introduced a bill to reinstate the draft — this time with zero deferments. Rangel thinks that current recruiting practices like targeting urban and rural areas with high unemployment and offering substantial enlistment bonuses serve to exploit the poor and underprivileged and foster a detachment between those on the front lines and the majority of Americans at home.
"What you've got now is a real shortage of grunts — guys who can actually carry bayonets," said McPeak in the Feb. 10 issue of Rolling Stone. He added that a comprehensive draft could be essential "to deal with the situation we've got ourselves into. We've got to have a bigger Army."
"If the kids and grandkids of the President and the Cabinet and the Pentagon were vulnerable to going to Iraq, we never would have gone — no question in my mind," said Rangel. "The closer this thing comes home to Americans, the quicker we'll be out of Iraq."
I have lost faith in the Bush administration's ability to tell the truth and put the well-being of American citizens first. The possibility of a draft is real, and that should be a frightening prospect to any young American, regardless of gender, socioeconomic status or any other factor. Our nation's admirable "all-volunteer Army" is in jeopardy; you could find yourself firing a machine gun in Iran right alongside a reservist whose contract was involuntarily extended by the Pentagon's "back-door draft." If draft talks gain any more substance, young America needs to find its voice and adopt the mantra of its preceding generation: "Hell no, we won't go!"

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Kansan story misrepresents writer who was a satirist, cultural critic
I find it amazingly sad that the coverage of the death of Hunter S. Thompson has largely followed the "Wow, wasn't he weird?!" path. The article, "Reporter recalls writer's visit," March 1 was not only one more of these articles but problematic on other fronts too. Exemplary of this was the Thompson quote put at the end of the article saying that he was "too weird to live and too rare to die." That quote comes from his introduction to Oscar Acosta's "Biography of a Brown Buffalo," not "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." It was, however, borrowed for the fine film version of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
To remember a man who redefined the limits of journalism, the Kansan decided to interview a former Kansan reporter who accompanied him when he visited. Sure. That makes sense. Thompson famously tested people he met by being outrageous and obnoxious. Jennifer Forker failed his tests. Fine. Personality differences will happen. What is ridiculous is Forker's refusal to read anything he has written. No wonder he pushed her buttons. My question is, however, why is she worth interviewing? She is, was, and apparently always will be totally unaware of his actual contributions.
What has been forgotten in all these awful
"tributes" is that Thompson was a brilliant writer. He was a savage satirist and cultural critic extraordinaire. He got into the stories and tore them apart from the inside finding truths no one else had found. His book "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" is possibly the best book on American presidential politics written in the last 50 years. "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" chronicled the end of the '60s optimism and predicted the darkness that became the '70s and '80s. I could go on and on.
He was a journalist pursuing a beat he defined as the end of the American dream. His definition of journalism, however, did not agree with the one used by the Kansan or the University. He fought the perfunctory nature of modern journalism and created his own path. That path is worth tracing, "Kingdom of Fear," his memoir, is wonderful, as is his most recent book "Hey Rube." Or you could read about the year he came to the University in his book "Generation of Swine."
To the good doctor I say goodbye. Now that the headlines surpass all satire, the fear is catching, and all our news comes from the New Dumb we will truly miss you.

I remember the first time I intentionally listened to music in another language. I caught a glimpse of a French rapper called MC Solara Bravo on cable TV's Bravo network during middle school and chanced upon a cassette of his album Prose Combatat, at Kansas City's Reggae Fest in 1997.
I went home and read the lyrics as I played the tape, but my two years of studying French failed me. The English word cowboy stood out. Otherwise, I was lost. Luckily, I found some English text to guide me.
Fab 5 Freddy is one of the founding fathers of hiphop, having produced the seminal 1982 film "Wild Style" after introducing the New York art world to the nascent ghetto movement as a valid and beautiful means of cultural expression. On a similarly avant-garde tip, Freddy traveled to Europe in the early '90s and found MC Solaar in a Paris nightclub.
"I couldn't understand his words, but I understood the flow," Freddy said in Prose Combat's liner notes. The flow. That was how I would understand without understanding. Indeed, that is how anyone can learn anything. The key is to feel, not fear — to treasure your ignorance for allowing you to advance your knowledge. As Americans, we often leave out the second part, content with not knowing, but also content with maintaining that status noo.
I would not have heard French rap without English ska and reggae. I listened to the Skatalties, the Specials, and others — all in my language. International origin is not as apparent in such cases, but a funny accent and a few unfamiliar words betray foreignness. In our melting pot, small fissures are easily skipped over in favor of stark, intimidating cultural chasms by which we fuel our xenophobia.
loud and you'll notice that there is no actual pause between words. Language learning means learning word boundaries.
Linguistic science tells us that human speech is a largely uninterrupted stream. Say a sentence out
When music is written by speakers of another tongue, we should not feel like fools just because we miss the lyrical meaning. The music and
its energy allow us to process and appreciate input that might otherwise be pure gobbledgyook.
We have so much to learn that we should never stop listening. Not every foreign song is great, but not every foreign song is meaningful just because its words are obscure to us. I once bore the bitter-sweet task of tutoring a native Spanish speaker who had learned much of his English from Backstreet Boys lyrics. While I urged him in the strongest terms to disregard that "band" on an artistic level, I could not deny the utility of their bubbly pap in helping familiarize my student with the rhythm and sounds of American English. "Ain't nothin' but a heartbreak..." may not be perfect English, but such lyrics are far more faithful to common American speech than, say, Shakespeare. Communication is the goal when learning a foreign language, not eloquence.
There are many gaps in our cultural understanding. The Internet and speedy international commerce provide invaluable tools for narrowing the divide. Every day, our thinking brains and our dancing feet reap the benefits of this new awareness.
Our tongues should certainly not be left out of the affair. A few spoken words or sung lyrics here and there can make anyone an instant diplomat, regardless of proficiency. The flow extends arms, legs and tongues like olive branches and we reinforce those through participation in the intercourse.
So sing a song, shake your ass and help save the world.

Kansas goes to Starkville, Miss., this weekend in hopes of getting back on a winning track at the NBC Classic.
After jumping out to a hot start, Kansas (12-5) has lost two of its last three games. This weekend will be a test for the jayhawks, who will face Mississippi State and Austin Peay State twice each.
Play Mississippi State, ranked 19th nationally by Collegiate Baseball and 17th by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, has a 3-0 record this season. The Bulldogs are led by junior outfielder Jeff Butts, who has a .583 batting average through three games. Butts has hit five doubles and seven RBI.
Senior catcher Sean Richardson and assistant coach Steve Abney conveen on the mound with senior pitcher Andrew Rebar during the game Tuesday at Hoglund Ballpark. The Jayhawks used six different pitchers during their loss against Southwest Missouri State. The team will compete in the NBC Classic in Starkville, Miss., this weekend.
Austin Peay (4-2) is the preseason favorite to win the Ohio Valley Conference. Junior catcher Tommy Smith has a team-best .500 batting average, with a home run and four RBI.
On the mound, Rowdy Hardy has shut down opponents with a 0.60 ERA in his two starts, which were both victories.
As for the Jayhawks' recent struggles, junior outfieldier Gus Milner said the they would try to shake off the sloppy play.
said. "We haven't been playing great defense, but I'm sure we'll turn it around. It's early in the season. As long as we get better toward the end of the season, that's all that matters."
"It's the game of baseball, so anything can happen." Milner
"It's only been three or four games," he said. "Let's put it in perspective."
On Sunday, junior Kodiak Quick (4-0, 1.11) will make his first start in nearly two weeks.

The Kansas softball team will travel to Carbondale, Ill., this weekend to compete in the Kay Brechtelsbaer Classic.
The Jajawks rebounded last week, winning three of five games in the Palm Springs Classic and moving to 7-7 on the season. Bunge said the team improved every game, but, as always, there was room for improvement.
"We need to be more consistent on offense." Bunge said.

Jayhawks could use more production from the lower half of the batting order.
Pitching is another area that needs improvement. The Jayhawks need to cut down on the number of walks per game. When the KU pitchers get ahead in pitching counts, they are too passive when they need to be aggressive, Bunge said.
The strongest area on the team is fielding. Led by Destiny Frankenstein, junior shortstop and co-captain, the Ivahawks have a .970 fielding percentage.
The four freshmen have also played well this year. Elle Pottorf, freshman catcher, has also been important behind the plate, Bunge said. Jackie Vasquez and Cyndi Duran, freshman outfielders, have also contributed by adding speed around the bases.
Christina Ross, freshman pitcher, continues to develop into a collegiate pitcher. Bunge said adjusting to the mound-to-plate distance — from 40 feet in high school to 43 feet in college — would take some time before it was comfortable for Ross.
After a month of playing, the team is still figuring everything out and making improvements every game. Bunge said.
She said Southern Illinois was a quality team, but she felt Kansas could win the tournament.

The last senior class to go undefeated at Missouri was the class of 1968, winning three games in Columbia, Mo., by an average of 13 points per contest.

In 1968, Kansas couldn't make it to the championship; Kansas State won the Big Eight championship.
"We want the conference title outright." Langford said. "We don't want to share it at all."
Second, this Kansas team has never lost in the regular season to either of its main rivals. The class of 1968 lost at Kansas State twice, as well as once in Lawrence. It also fell to Missouri at home in 1968.
This year's group has never lost to Kansas State.

Rams beef up next season's defense
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams added their second freeagent linebacker in two days yesterday, signing Chris Claiborne to a three-year, $10.5 million contract.
The Rams, who were weak on run defense last year, said the signings on the first two days of the free agency period didn't necessarily mean that linebacker was the greatest area of need.
The signings represented a splash for a team that has been relatively quiet in the free agent market in recent seasons. The last time the Rams made such an impact was in 1999 when they signed quarterback Trent
"We're just trying to improve our team," defensive coordinator Larry Marmie said. "It's the area we had a chance to get started with and I'm sure we're still looking to improve."
Claiborne, a middle line-backer, gets a $3.6 million signing bonus and joins outside linebacker Dexter Coakley in the Rams' restocked defense. Coakley got a five-year, $14.5 million deal with a $3 million signing bonus.
Claiborne missed four games last year with a calf injury and was seventh on the team in tackles. According to team statistics he had 81 total tackles, including 49 solos, with one interception, one fumble recovery and seven quarterback hurries.
Green and offensive guard Adam Timmerman.
The Rams needed two new starters at linebacker because Pisa Tinoisamoa is being moved to safety due to concerns about his durability at that position, and Tommy Polley is a free agent. Middle linebacker Robert Thomas, a first-round pick in 2002, is being moved to the outside.
Claiborne, 6-3 and 255 pounds, was the ninth overall pick in the 1999 draft by the Lions out of Southern California. He visited the Rams after the 2002 season but ended up signing with the Vikings.
Marmie said Claiborne passed a physical with "flying colors."
Coakley is a bit undersized at 5-10 and 236 pounds, but Marmie said he wouldn't be adverse to giving him some time at middle linebacker.

Winning a conference title has been the Jayhawks' goal since the beginning of the season. Senior guard Mike Lee said wrapping up sole possession of the title would be on their minds Sunday.
"Now that we have part of it, we wanna win it," Lee said.
Kansas Basketball Notes
- Kansas leads the all-time series with Missouri, 161-91.
- Keith Langford, Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles and Mike Lee have never lost a regular season game against the Tigers.
- When asked if senior guard Mike Lee would remain in the starting line-up after being inserted on Senior Night, Self didn't deny the possibility.
"I don't know how were
gonna do it," Self said. "Mike did some good things. I will talk to our coaches and talk to our guys to see what they wanna do."
Lee would replace sophomore J.R. Giddens in the lineup. Giddens scored eight points on Wednesday and hit two three-point shots.
Freshman forward C.J. Giles has not seen any playing time lately. Instead, freshman forward Sasha Kaun has been playing. Wednesday, freshman forward Darnell Jackson saw some playing time.
Self said Jackson was playing well in practice.
"I like the way Darnell is playing," he said. "We need somebody other than Wayne and Christian down there. Darnell has been good in practice everyday."

Finishing the streak
Seniors could end careers with perfect record against Missouri
Missouri fans should be happy at the conclusion of Sunday's 1 p.m. game against Kansas regardless of which team wins.
BY KELLIE ROBINETT krobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Sure, they would love to see the Tigers knock off the Jayhawks, and keep their NIT hopes alive, but even if that doesn't happen, they'll leave Mizzou Arena knowing that the 2005 Kansas senior class will never return as players.
For the last three years, Missouri has come agonizing
close to defeating Kansas, but the Jayhawks have spoiled the Tiger's Senior Day party each time. This time should be no different, senior guard Keith Langford said.
"I expect high hell, just because the last three years we've ended their season with victories there," Langford said. "We closed their building out last time."
The road winning streak started three years ago, when former Kansas forward Drew Gooden made a game winning layup, with time winding down, to give the Jayhawks a 95-92 victory.
The year after that, senior guard Aaron Miles and former guard Kirk Hinrich each made three-point shots in the closing minute, propelling Kansas to a five-point win.
Last year, Miles again made a three-pointer, when he was only trying to hit the rim with the shot clock winding down, and former forward David Padgett made a fade away jumper with seconds remaining to give the Jayhawks a victory in the last game ever played at Hearnes Center, which closed in 2004.
As great as those triumphs were, a victory on Sunday would mean much more.
If the Jayhawks can win, Langford, Miles, Wayne Simien and Mike Lee will join an elite group of Kansas seniors who ended their careers without a loss at Missouri.
"That would be incredible," Langford said. "I don't think too many guys can say that they did that while playing at Kansas with the rivalry being as heated as it is."
Missouri has won against the seniors only once in the 2003 Big 12 Tournament.
The chance of going undefeated at Missouri particularly

Victory will clinch Big 12
Self: We need to get sole possession and win the league outright
When it comes to Kansas, Missouri hasn't had a lot of bragging rights.
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
Kansas defeated Missouri three times last year twice in one week.
The most notable victory was last year when the Jayhawks squashed the Tigers' hopes for the 2004 NCAA Tournament. It was Missouri's last game at the old Hearnes Center.
Or maybe not.
Different game, different building, different season?
The Tigers are 14-15 and 6-9 in the Big 12 Conference. The new Mizzou Arena, formerly the Paige Sports Arena, is blemished by the academic scandal of Paige Laurie, for whom the building was named.

All the Tigers have left this season is the game against the Ivahawks.
The Tigers were out of the NCAA Tournament long ago. Their below-500 record places them among the average teams in college basketball. And they lost 67-49 at Iowa State on Wednesday. The Tigers' NIT chances look slim.
"This is going to be a huge game for them," he said. "It's not gonna make their season, but this would be a big win for them."
The Jayhawks say they will see a better Tigers team during the border rival match-up 1 p.m. Sunday. Match-ups with the Jayhawks always bring out the best in their game, coach Bill Self said.
After Wednesday's emotional Senior Night, the Kansas players were already thinking about Missouri. They can win the Big 12 Conference title outright and put themselves in good position to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament if they defeat Missouri.
This time around, the Tigers have an opportunity to squash the Jayhawks' hopes of a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. A loss to Missouri would not look too convincing to the tournament selection committee.
"We need to get sole possession and win the league outright so we can get a No.1 seed." Self said. "We can be anywhere from a one to a four depending on how things play out on Sunday. We need to go out and take care of business."
Ginny Weatherman/KANSAN
In their first meeting on Jan. 31, the Jayhawks struggled in the first half. During the second half, Self put his team into a zone defense to slow down the Tigers' rhythm.
Wayne Simien, senior guard, goes up for a shot during the first half of the game against the Wildcats Wednesday night. Simien clocked in for 37 minutes of the game, scoring a total of 25 points and grabbing a career high 20 rebounds.

These five members of the KU track and field team share one common bond: All await the news that will tell them made nationals.
All five of these athletes have provisionally qualified for the national championships. Two hundred seventy athletes get an invite to nationals,

Senior middle-distance runner Jeremy Mims ranks 15th. His time of 148 66 in

the conference. Going into the meet. Mims already had nationals on his mind.
"I'm not going to let that get in the way at the conference championships," Mims said. "But my overall goal goes beyond conference."
Junior thrower Sheldon Battle received provisional scores with a sixth-place ranking in the shot put and an eighth-place ranking in the weight throw. Battle won second place at the conference indoor

Missouri has upset potential
Editor's note: The University Daily Kansan traded sports commentaries with The Maneater, the student newspaper at the University of Missouri, to provide another perspective on Sunday's men's basketball game. The Kansan's column, by Jonathan Kealing, associate sports editor, is on Kansan.com.
This Sunday in Mizzou Arena, you will roll into town feeling confident about your chances of coming away with another victory. After all, your team has compiled quite an impressive record, as well as a national ranking that many teams would sell their textbooks back for. Your team has beaten almost every challenger that has crossed its path on your way to an impressive and memorable season.
Well, well, well, Jayhawks. The time has come again to rekilem the hostest rivalry in college basketball.
The point is, to walk away from this season with any positive lasting memories and to head into next year with a positive outlook, you guys need to win out and make it deep into the NCAA Tournament. You will have to be continuously preparing to battle new opponents, both home and away from home.
I give kudos to Kansas for that. But this time things are different. That may sound like hollow talk but, in truth, you could not possibly be playing the Tigers at a worse time. You've been winning consistently. We have not. You've been garnerng national attention. Not us. You have a bevy of stars that will one day be getting paid to play the game. We've got ... ?
We have had the type of season that makes fans, players and coaches angry. Players have lost starting spots, fans have lost interest and coaches are in danger of losing jobs. We acknowledge that we have had a terrible year by Missouri standards, but beating you would be sweet enough to cleanse our collective pallet of the sour taste of losing. Seeing your big, dominating Jayhawks walk away from Missouri for the last time empty-handed is the closest thing we are going to get to cutting down nets at the end of the year.
We have to do only one thing: beat you.
The business-like mentality with which Kansas approaches its games is something that other teams should aspire to emulate. Wayne Simien may be the best big man in college basketball. Keith Langford is as much of a clutch player as you will see in today's game. You regularly face top opponents and consistently turn them away. And in the long run, should you beat us Sunday, it would seem fitting.
On the other hand, should we beat you, it would seem miraculous.
That is the main difference between our two teams. You stand on the threshold of history, and we are a_bunch of guys with talent, a game plan and absolutely nothing to lose. Gene Hackman might as well have been talking about the Tigers when he said, "That makes you all very dangerous people!"
Here's wishing the stars of Kansas all the success in the world, great NBA careers and an ass kicking of biblical proportions Sunday. Only because the Tigers have had to swallow their pride and eat their words all too often this year.

Fraternity faces up to 20 charges
The judicial board of the Interfraternity Council has until this Friday to decide the punishment for Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, 1111 W. 11th St.
The IFC has a rule allowing for up to five school days after the hearing to determine the local punishment.
Members of the judicial board read the chapter its formal charges last Friday.
Recruitment and joint-alcohol policy violations were included in charges filed against the fraternity.
John Byerley, vice president of public relations for the IFC, could not give specific details on charges until later this week.
He confirmed that the fraternity could face about 20 charges.
The fraternity had an unregistered party at its house on the weekend of Feb. 19. The chapter neglected to submit a Party Notification Form, so the event was classified as an unsanctioned recruitment event by the IFC. The fraternity was operating an "open saloon," selling alcohol to minors.
The chapter's national headquarters in Carmel, Ind., indefinitely suspended the chapter on Feb. 25.
In an interview last week, Kevin Lampe, national secretary of Phi Kappa Theta, said the fraternity could not participate in social functions. perform rituals or recruit new members.
Lawrence police officers confiscated 16 kegs of beer, $517 in cash and signs that advertised the party.
The board of trustees will have a hearing later in the spring to determine the next course of action.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: 72-68
Ankle injury takes Langford out of game early on; Kansas can't fill hole
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIITE
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Jayhawks lost more than just a game yesterday.
Their 72-68 loss to the Missouri Tigers cost them an outright Big 12 championship, the seniors' perfect regular season record against their border rival, maybe a No.1 NCAA Tournament seed and maybe Keith Langford.
The senior guard left the court just 3 minutes into the game after driving to the basket and drawing the foul. The basket fell, but so did Langford — the wrong way on his left ankle. He gingerly limped off the court, and minutes later, he hopped to the locker room on one foot. Langford said he originally hurt the ankle in practice on Thursday. He did not work out with the team at all going into yesterday's match-up, but said that he felt good going into the game.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't know the condition of the injury. He said he didn't think it was broken, but the doctors would do an MRI tomorrow to assess the injury. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, yesterday's injury could be more serious than the one that kept him out of practice all week.
"I don't think it's good." Self said. "Right now he can't put any weight on it."
If there was ever a day Kansas needed Langford, it was yesterday. His slashing ability and penetration would have come in handy on a day when there was not a lot of offensive production from other players.
It looked like Self was trying every possible line-up in search of any kind of offense. In addition to making a change in the starting line-up — Self started senior guard Mike Lee in place of J.R. Giddens — he was forced to alter the bench to find someone who could compensate for Langford's absence. Off the bench, he used freshmen forwards Darnell Jackson, Alex
"We tried some different things but we were unable to penetrate through Missouri's defense, and we didn't make shots."
Russell Robinson
Freshman forward
Galindo and freshman guard Russell Robinson. They played 8, 12 and 11 minutes, respectively.
"We tried to mix it up, just to see if we could get some guys scoring," Self said.
Credit the Tigers for that though. The tenacious Missouri defense didn't allow many good looks at the basket, and without Langford, Kansas had no one to create them.
"We missed Keith offensively." Robinson said. "We tried some different things, but we were unable to penetrate through Missouri's defense, and we didn't make shots."
They went eight-for-10 from behind the arc in the first half.
That was the key reason Mizzou rebounded from an early deficit and took a 43-54 halftime lead.
As good as the Tigers were on defense, the Jayhawks were as bad.
"The problem was not as much offensively as it was defensively." Self said. "The problem was we didn't get any stops."
As the Jayhawks hit the court after halftime. Langford hobbled slowly behind on a pair of crutches.
The Jayhawks looked just about as crippled. Their defense gave up six straight points out of the intermission and allowed the Tigers to stretch the margin to 49-34.

STUDENT SENATE
Senate, HALO boost bill
Law allows in-state tuition for some immigrants
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egarcia@hansan.com
KANSAN WRITER
Members of the KU Hispanic-American Leadership Organization met Friday with state officials in Topeka to show support for Kansas legislation that allows undocumented immigrants to receive in-state tuition.
HALO members went to the capitol as part of Hispanic Dav on the Hill.
HALO members gave the officials a resolution passed by Student Senate in support of House Bill 2145, which took effect in July 2004. The resolution also denounces a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law.
House Bill 2145 allows students to get in-state tuition if they meet certain conditions.
First, they must have lived at least three years in the state, received a degree from a Kansas high school or received their general equivalence diploma in the state, and must sign an affidavit stating they are on their way to obtaining legal residency status.
If they fail to get legal residence status, students must repay the state the difference between the amount actually paid and the amount they would have paid as a nonresident of the state.
Andrea Pantoja, Mission, junior, gave a copy of the resolution to Rep. Sue Storm (D-Overland Park), who wrote the house bill.
Similar tuition bills have been passed in
Nicoletta Niosi/KANSAN
California, Texas, New York, Utah, Washington Illinois and Oklahoma. Kansas was the eighth state to pass this type of law.
"When I found out the facts, how could I say no?" Storm said. "It's not just for these kids; it's for Kansas."
The Student Senate resolution was passed with an overwhelming majority during last Wednesday's meeting. Raymond Rico, Kansas City, Kan., senior, and Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, junior, introduced the resolution to the Senate.
They said that many of the students who are affected by the law moved to the United States with their parents when they were children and had no choice in the matter.
FEDERAL SCHOOL FOR MISSING PEOPLE
They said they wanted those students to be given an equal opportunity to get a higher education.
According to federal law, every state is required to provide children a K-12 education, regardless of legal status.
Senators who argued against the bill said they ideologically agreed with the proposal, but said it was not fair to other students. They worried it would create problems.
Alvar Ayala, Torreon, Mexico, senior, helped author the Senate resolution. He wanted students to know the importance of the bill and wanted to people to realize what it's about.
"It's not an issue of immigration, it's an issue of education." he said.
The law currently affects 30 students in Kansas,
Andrea Pantoja, Mission junior, and Raymond Rico, Kansas City, Kan., senior, presented Rep. Sue Storm (D-Overland Park) with a Student Senate resolution Friday in the state capitol building in Topeka. The resolution was passed in support of a bill written by Storm. The bill allows undocumented immigrants who live in Kansas to pay-in-state tuition.
Rico said.
Two students at the University qualify for instate tuition under the bill, according to the Registrar's Office. It is against the office's policy to release the names of the students.

For one Kansas State University professor, the debate between evolution and religion shouldn't exist.
because of his views, Keith Miller, professor of geology at K-State, was invited to give a presentation on evolution and religion at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.
"The whole sense of conflict is simply unfounded, it's popular understandings versus reality" he said.
With a turnout of about 20 people, Miller was glad to present his views and listen to those of others.
During his presentation, Miller gave evidence for evolution by using the fossil record and showed that evolution does not have to exclude a divine influence.
Gaps in the fossil record do exist, he said, but do not prove evolution as a fallacy. He also said that science could not give proof for the existence of God.
Miller said that the Bible's explanation of the creation in Genesis does not conflict with evolutionary theory and in fact may support it.
The order of the events of creation and the use of numerology in Genesis were meant to be metaphorical and do not inherently contradict evolution. Miller said.
An evangelical Christian his whole life, Miller said he wasn't raised to see a conflict between his faith and science. As a Christian and a scientist, he said he had an integrated view of life.
Miller has given presentations at several institutions, including the University of California at Fullerton and Eastern Illinois University.
He said he was making himself more available for presentations because of the pressing issues involving evolution and creationism.
"A lot of these issues are important
The cross hanging on the wall of the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., remains lit up last night during Keith Miller's presentation and explanation of how the Christian religion does not have to conflict with the evolution theory. Miller is from the Kansas State University's department of geology and has been a Christian his entire life. He said religion and science can co-exist. "I didn't grow up thinking there should be a conflict with the natural world and my faith," Miller explained.
to people, and when people are interested in talking, it's good," he said.
Following the presentation, a question-and-answer period was dominated by Keith Staples, Lawrence resident.
He said the presentation was helpful to him, though he leans toward intelligent design, which states that everything was created initially by a divine being.
"It helped to see God in this understanding of evolution," he said.
Two KU students also made it to the event.
A proponent of Miller's views, Travis Lechtenberg, Hutchinson freshman, said he attended to see how someone else explained his same views.
"I liked having an actual professor present the information, someone who is actually knowledgeable," he said.
Lechtenberg was surprised that more people did not come to the event.
Although unable to attend the presentation, Hume Feldman, associate professor of physics and astronomy, said he was glad to hear Miller was speaking on the issue of evolution and religion.
While most Lawrence residents don't have an issue with evolution in regard to religion, Feldman said, anywhere Miller can speak will be good for the campaign.
"He may be preaching to the choir, but we need the choir to sing so people can hear about it," he said.
A copy of the presentation would be available at the church's main office, Rachel Robson, church member and medical student at the University, said.

Prison changes Martha's attitude
BY JIM FITZGERALD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — At trial, she came off as Mean Martha: rude, demanding, cheap, the kind of person who would threaten to pull her business from a brokerage because she didn't like the music she heard when her call was on hold.
Then she went to prison and turned into St. Martha: advocate for the oppressed, friend to the lonely and forager for wild greens to spice up the jailhouse food. On Friday, her first day outside the lockup, she waved graciously, chatted amiably and served hot cocoa to the press.
The transformation of Martha Stewart's image dates to five months
ago, when she called a news conference to announce she was reporting to prison early, despite a pending legal appeal.
Wearing a white suit against a backdrop of color swatches, Stewart projected a change in attitude that has helped repair her reputation and propel her company forward again.
"Going to jail was a good thing," says Paul Argenti, a professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. "She had to do that, and fighting it was a bad idea."
Indeed, stock prices for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, which had lagged, quickly doubled. And as she worked off time in a West Virginia prison, scrubbing floors and picking dandelion greens, she found herself
popular enough to be given starring roles in two upcoming TV shows.
"The thing about Americans is we like throwing you to the ground, and making you cry uncle," image consultant Eric Deenzhall said. "But if you do cry uncle we'll let you up."
Stewart's tasteful, if chilly, image had taken a beating in trial testimony. Jurors laughed when Douglas Faneuil, an assistant to Stewart's stockbroker, told the court she went into a tirade when she was put on hold, complaining about how bad the music was and threatening to leave if it wasn't changed.
The daily news coverage of her entering the courthouse, accompanied by details about her pricey handbags or stylish heels, didn't help.

Students experience homelessness
BY NATE KARLIN
nklarin@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
Jason Hargett wrapped himself in three blankets as he slept on the ground in Burcham Park Friday night. What began as one of the warmest days of the year in Lawrence dropped below 30 degrees by the evening.
10. 10.
Waking at dawn, Elizabeth Moss, Carmel, Ind., senior, and co-chairwoman for Into the Streets Week, thanks Lindsay Matthews, Overland Park senior, and Ann Ryan, Salina senior, for their participation in Sleepout for Homelessness on Friday night.
He anticipated the cold night, but it was still a bit much for him.
"When I started to sleep this morning, I had to keep my head inside my blanket," Hargett, Shawnee senior, said on Saturday. "It was to keep warm, but it was also a shame thing. I didn't want anyone to think I was homeless."
Hargett was only pretending to be homeless for the night.
He was one of about 100 students who briefly experienced
life as a homeless person. The Center for Community Outreach created the program, Sleepout for Homelessness, to engage students in homeless issues in their community, said Elizabeth Moss, Into the Streets Week co-chairwoman.
Most students left Burcham Park, 200 Indiana St., about 2.30 a.m., Hargett said, but a few dozen people, including himself, staved until the morning.
Each student also had to donate $10 for the Jubilee Café, 946 Vermont St., she said. The sleepout ended CCO's weeklong Into the Streets Week, which began Feb. 26. Into the Streets Week is a week of community service events and activities at the University of Kansas, Moss Carmel, Ind. senior said.
Students who participated in the sleepout, which lasted from 8 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday,
heard two local bands Chemical Ali and The Mark Lyda Combo - perform and listened to the director of the
Jubilee Café speak about homelessness issues. Some students who arrived early participated in a table discussion with members of the Lawrence Coalition on Homelessness.
Erin Koksal, Garden City senior, participated to see some bands, such as The Mark Lyda Combo, but she said the program had a more meaningful purpose than other programs.
"I'm already cold, and it's only 9:30, so it's an eye-opening experience,"said Koksal, CCO financial director.
Sleepout for Homelessness made about $1,000. Rev. Joe Alford, who works with the Jubilee Café, said the event has always raised a substantial amount of money for the café. The money will be used to buy about three weeks worth of food for the café, he said. Café volunteers prepare and serve breakfast to in-need community members.

Festival chooses three KU female playwrights

Ketchup makes everything better, even maggot-riddled World War II rations, says one KU alumnus playwright.
PLAYWRITING FESTIVAL
"Ketchup" is a one-act play written by Kristin Soper, 2004 graduate. It tells the story of a couple through its early years, its separation during World War II and its twilight years. The famous red condiment is a metaphor for the main character's wife.
"My grandpa would put ketchup on everything," Soper said. "His relationship with his wife covered up the bad flavor in his life."
Soper's and two other University students' plays — "The Option" by Libby Dean, Louisburg senior, and 'Breakfast' by Kendra Finney, Overland Park
+ WHEN: 8 p.m., March 10, 11, 12 and 17, 18, 19, 2 p.m., March 13 and 20.

senior — are being produced by Potluck Productions for its 10th annual 2005 Women's Playwriting Festival.
The three plays were among the 12 selected from 50 entries, Glendora Davis, 2005 Festival producer, said.
All three plays were written in Paul Lim's, professor of English, playwriting class.
Dean has had a play performed at the Women's Playwriting Festival. Last year the festival produced her play, "A Test of Will."
This is the second year that
A playwright has a better sense of setting and of the stage after working with a production, Dean said.
"The Libby Dean last year and the Libby this year are two different people," Lim said. "In terms of stagecraft and character development, I could see growth."
Super credits Lim with helping KU playwrights get their plays produced.
"If it wasn't for him it would be stashed in a drawer somewhere," Soper said.
This is the first time that Finney's play, about a young woman who is angry that her boyfriend never makes her breakfast, has been performed on stage.
"Breakfast!" plays on the age old relationship question,
"What do women want?"
The inspiration for "Breakfast" comes from a relationship with an ex-boyfriend who happens to be traveling from Pennsylvania to watch the play, Finney said.
Dean's play, "The Option," is a comedy about a mother trying to give her son "the talk" during breakfast, months after the son's father has died.
This is the first time that "The Option" will receive a full performance. It got a staged reading in January at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre regional festival.
Student playwrights bring a fresh perspective to Potluck Productions, one director said.
"They bring naivete and innocence," D.K. Evenson, director, said. "They're very quick to capture the essence of life."

Evolution, religion 'co-exist'

K-State professor presents fossil records to explain beliefs
Evolution and the Image of God
- We are God's representatives to the of creation -- We are called to image
- We are both a part of creation
By TY BEAVER
tbeaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For one Kansas State University professor, the debate between evolution and religion shouldn't exist.
Rachel Seymour/KANSAN
Because of his views, Keith Miller, professor of geology at K-State, was invited to give a presentation on evolution and religion at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St.
"The whole sense of conflict is simply unfounded, it's popular understandings versus reality" he said.
With a turnout of about 20 people, Miller was glad to present his views and listen to those of others.
During his presentation, Miller gave evidence for evolution by using the fossil record and showed that evolution does not have to exclude a divine influence.
Gaps in the fossil record do exist, he said, but do not prove evolution as a fallacy. He also said that science could not give proof for the existence of God.
Miller said that the Bible's explanation of the creation in Genesis does not conflict with evolutionary theory and in fact may support it.
The order of the events of creation and the use of numerology in Genesis were meant to be metaphorical and do not inherently contradict evolution. Miller said.
An evangelical Christian his whole life. Miller said he wasn't raised to see a conflict between his faith and science. As a Christian and a scientist, he said he had an integrated view of life.
Miller has given presentations at several institutions, including the University of California at Fullerton and Eastern Illinois University.
He said he was making himself more available for presentations because of the pressing issues involving evolution and creationism.
The cross hanging on the wall of the Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vermont St., remains lit up last night during Keith Miller's presentation and explanation of how the Christian religion does not have to conflict with the evolution theory. Miller is from the Kansas State University's department of geology and has been a Christian his entire life. He said religion and science can co-exist. "I didn't grow up thinking there should be a conflict with the natural world and my faith," Miller explained.
"A lot of these issues are important
to people, and when people are interested in talking, it's good," he said.
Following the presentation, a question-and-answer period was dominated by Keith Staples, Lawrence resident.
He said the presentation was helpful to him, though he leans toward intelligent design, which states that everything was created initially by a divine being.
"It helped to see God in this understanding of evolution." he said.
Two KU students also made it to the event.
A proponent of Miller's views, Travis Lechtenberg, Hutchinson freshman, said he attended to see how someone else explained his same views.
"I liked having an actual professor present the information, someone who is actually knowledgeable," he said.
Lechtenberg was surprised that more people did not come to the event.
Although unable to attend the presentation, Hume Feldman, associate professor of physics and astronomy, said he was glad to hear Miller was speaking on the issue of evolution and religion.
While most Lawrence residents don't have an issue with evolution in regard to religion, Feldman said, anywhere Miller can speak will be good for the campaign.
A copy of the presentation would be available at the church's main office, Rachel Robson, church member and medical student at the University, said.
"He may be preaching to the choir, but we need the choir to sing so people can hear about it," he said.

BUSINESS
Prison changes Martha's attitude
BY JIM FITZGERALD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — At trial, she came off as Mean Martha: rude, demanding, cheap, the kind of person who would threaten to pull her business from a brokerage because she didn't like the music she heard when her call was on hold.
Then she went to prison and turned into St. Martha: advocate for the oppressed, friend to the lonely and forager for wild greens to spice up the jailhouse food. On Friday, her first day outside the lockup, she waved graciously, chatted amiably and served hot cocoa to the press.
The transformation of Martha Stewart's image dates to five months
ago, when she called a news conference to announce she was reporting to prison early, despite a pending legal appeal.
Wearing a white suit against a backdrop of color swatches, Stewart projected a change in attitude that has helped repair her reputation and propel her company forward again.
"Going to jail was a good thing," says Paul Argenti, a professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. "She had to do that, and fighting it was a bad idea."
Indeed, stock prices for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, which had lagged, quickly doubled. And as she worked off time in a West Virginia prison, scrubbing floors and picking dandelion greens, she found herself
popular enough to be given starring roles in two upcoming TV shows.
"The thing about Americans is we like throwing you to the ground, and making you cry uncle," image consultant Eric Deenzhall said. "But if you do cry uncle we'll let you up."
Stewart's tasteful, if chilly, image had taken a beating in trial testimony. Jurors laughed when Douglas Faneuil, an assistant to Stewart's stockbroker, told the court she went into a tirade when she was put on hold, complaining about how bad the music was and threatening to leave if it wasn't changed.
The daily news coverage of her entering the courthouse, accompanied by details about her pricey handbags or stylish heels, didn't help.

Students experience homelessness
BY NATE KARLIN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Rvlan Howe/KANSAN
Jason Hargett wrapped himself in three blankets as he slept on the ground in Burcham Park Friday night. What began as one of the warmest days of the year in Lawrence dropped below 30 degrees by the evening.
He anticipated the cold night, but it was still a bit much for him.
Waking at dawn, Elizabeth Moss, Carmel, Ind., senior, and co-chairwoman for Into the Streets Week, thanks Lindsay Matthews, Overland Park senior, and Ann Ryan, Salina senior, for their participation in Sleepout for Homelessness on Friday night.
"When I started to sleep this morning, I had to keep my head inside my blanket," Hargett, Shawnee senior, said on Saturday. "It was to keep warm, but it was also a shame thing. I didn't want anyone to think I was homeless."
Hargelt was only pretending to be homeless for the night.
He was one of about 100 students who briefly experienced
life as a homeless person. The Center for Community Outreach create the program, Sleepout for Homelessness, to engage students in homeless issues in their community, said Elizabeth Moss, Into the Streets Week co-chairwoman.
Most students left Burcham Park, 200 Indiana St., about 2:30 a.m. Hargett said, but a few dozen people, including himself, staved until the morning.
Each student also had to donate $10 for the jubilee Café, 946 Vermont St., she said. The sleepout ended CCO's weeklong Into the Streets Week, which began Feb. 26. Into the Streets Week is a week of community service events and activities at the University of Kansas, Moss, Carmel, Ind., senior said.
Students who participated in the sleepout, which lasted from 8 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday,
heard two local bands — Chemical Ali and The Mark Lyda Combo — perform and listened to the director of the
Jubilee Café speak about homelessness issues. Some students who arrived early participated in a table discussion with members of the Lawrence Coalition on Homelessness.
"I'm already cold, and it's only 9:30, so it's an eye-opening experience,"said Kokals, CCO financial director.
Erin Koksal, Garden City senior, participated to see some bands, such as The Mark Lyda Combo, but she said the program had a more meaningful purpose than other programs.
Sleepout for Homelessness made about $1,000. Rev. Joe Alford, who works with the Jubilee Café, said the event has always raised a substantial amount of money for the cafe. The money will be used to buy about three weeks worth of food for the cafe, he said. Café volunteers prepare and serve breakfast to in-need community members.

Festival chooses three KU female playwrights

Ketchup makes everything better, even maggot-riddled World War II rations, says one KU alumnus plawright.
"Ketchup" is a one-act play written by Kristin Soper, 2004 graduate. It tells the story of a couple through its early years, its separation during World War II and its twilight years. The famous red condiment is a metaphor for the main character's wife.

"My grandpa would put ketchup on everything," Soper said. "His relationship with his wife covered up the bad flavor in his life."

senior — are being produced by Potluck Productions for its 10th annual 2005 Women's Playwriting Festival.
The three plays were among the 12 selected from 50 entries, Glendora Davis, 2005 Festival producer, said.
All three plays were written in Paul Lim's, professor of English, playwriting class.
Dean has had a play performed at the Women's Playwriting Festival. Last year the festival produced her play. "A Test of Will."
This is the second year that
A playwright has a better sense of setting and of the stage after working with a production. Dean said.
"The Libby Dean last year and the Libby this year are two different people," Lim said. "In terms of stagecraft and character development, I could see growth."
Soper credits Lim with helping KU playwrights get their plays produced.
"If it wasn't for him it would be stashed in a drawer somewhere." Super said.
This is the first time that Finney's play, about a young woman who is angry that her boyfriend never makes her breakfast, has been performed on stage.
"Breakfast!" plays on the age-old relationship question,
"What do women want?"
The inspiration for "Breakfast" comes from a relationship with an ex-boyfriend who happens to be traveling from Pennsylvania to watch the play, Finney said.
Dean's play, "The Option," is a comedy about a mother trying to give her son "the talk" during breakfast, months after the son's father has died.
This is the first time that "The Option" will receive a full performance. It got a staged reading in January at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre regional festival.
Student playwrights bring a fresh perspective to Potluck Productions, one director said.
"They bring naivete and innocence," D.K. Evenson, director, said. "They're very quick to capture the essence of life."

The Christ Episcopal Church of Overland Park agreed in principle to separate from the national Episcopal Church and its diocese in Kansas. The separation was because of disagreements over several issues such as the ordination of an openly gay Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire.
Episcopal church announces break
I WON'T
SETTLE.
The Overland Park church decided to withhold most of its financial commitment to the diocese after the ordination in 2003 of V. Gene Robinson. Robinson lives with his male partner, as a bishop, in New Hampshire.
RELIGION
The proposed separation was announced yesterday by the Overland Park church and Kansas diocese.
The Overland Park church's governing board voted Feb. 28 and recommended approval of the agreement. Parish members will vote April 3 on the separation.
An announcement of the proposed agreement was made to the suburban Kansas City church Saturday, said Melodie Woerman, spokeswoman for the diocese. A pastoral letter from the Rev Dean Wolfe, Episcopal bishop of eastern Kansas, was read to the diocese's 50 other parishes yesterday.
The Episcopal Church, has 2.4 million members.

"I wear the shirt every year, so everyone here knows we can win the election," Thomas said. "The barriers to voter turnout disappear this year because of the online voting, so everything is up in the air."
Thomas also said he would like to see this election be less about harassing voters on Wescoe Beach. Instead, he said the election should focus on which coalition had more significant issues and a clearer vision for the University.

Grant to aid KU professor's Parkinson's disease research
A new professorship at the University of Kansas Medical Center will allow one researcher to help those afflicted with Parkinson's disease.
As the first recipient of the Laverne and Joyce Rider Professorship, Rajesh Pahwa, professor of neurology, will continue his research on Parkinson's disease.
The disease claimed both Joyce Rider and her mother, Laverne.
"Joyce Rider was kind enough to set this up after her mother's death so that others could benefit from my research," Pahwa said.
Director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Center, Pahwa has been at the forefront of developing treatments for the disease.
Several drugs resulting from his research are seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The treatment involves placing an electrode surgically in a patient's brain and is controlled by a battery pack in the chest.
Pahwa also had the initial patients for deep brain stimulation and led to its FDA approval.
Stiffness, tremors and other Parkinson's symptoms are reduced as a result, Pahwa said.

Science research competition includes chancellor, provost
This year's competition is unique in that four University administrators, including Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger, will make short presentations during the awards ceremony that evening.
The University of Kansas chapter of the Scientific Research Society, Sigma Xi, will hold its annual Research Paper Competition through tomorrow, Stan Loeb, assistant professor of environmental studies, said.
"To be honest I was a bit surprised, but they all feel strongly about research here at KU," Loeb said.
Beginning graduate students will present their research at room 206 in Blake Hall from 12:40 to 5:20 p.m.
Seventeen students will present their research, Loeb said.
Events will close with a presentation from Thomas Cravens, professor of physics and astronomy, on the Cassini/Huygens probes sent to Saturn.
Undergraduates and advanced graduate students will be at room 407 in Summerfield Hall from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
Judges will present awards at 6:30 p.m. at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union, Loeb said.
All of tomorrow's events are open to the public, Loeb said.

Unfortunately, students with mobility issues, such as wheelchair users, are provided only limited services to get to and from academic events. In other words, a line of funding that most students pay for is used to fund a higher level of service to one group of students and a lower level of service to another group.
While one group of students is asked to provide feedback on the bus routes they would like to access through KU on Wheels, the other group is told to expect little more than rides to and from classes.
Transportation to the recreation center for exercise, to the Lied Center for a concert or to Allen Fieldhouse for a basketball game, is unlikely, if not impossible, for students with disabilities to obtain through the student transportation system.
And, especially at this time of year, who would want to deny any student the excitement of Iayhawk basketball?
In fact, it is doubtful that students needing accessible transportation could get to the Kansas Union for a transportation board meeting to protest this inequity in service. For other oppressed groups, a situation like this is called separate and unequal. For students with disabilities at the University, it is called "not enough funds."
Why? There are transportation funds available but they are simply not allocated with consideration of the needs of all students.
I believe that many KU on Wheels users who believe in justice and fairness would be disturbed to know that the services they receive are not equally available to their peers with disabilities. Similarly, many students would be surprised to discover that, on numerous other U.S. campuses, transportation services are integrated
and equitable, and that students with disabilities are full campus participants. Anyone who believes that transportation to participate in the rich campus life available at the University should be equally available to all students should be asking questions.
Why don't University students with disabilities have equal transportation?
Why did KU on Wheels recently renew a contract with a provider that refuses to comply with a federal mandate to replace older inaccessible buses with accessible ones?
Why is this situation allowed to continue 15 years after the passage of legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act, which protects the rights of citizens with disabilities?
Finally, it is not entirely correct to frame this issue as "students doing the best they can to provide services with limited funding."
Students learning valuable administration and management skills as they organize transportation services on this campus are guided in their decision-making.
And the guidance they are currently receiving provides a dangerous lesson — that instead of dividing resources equitably, it is acceptable to discriminate and to more fully meet the needs of one group at the expense of another.
Those responsible for guiding students who manage transportation services should reconsider the lesson they are teaching. Those who can intervene to provide more equitable services now, and to begin building an integrated service, should do so immediately.
Unfortunately, this lesson is not likely to serve these students well in their post-collegiate careers when they will need to apply their skills in an increasingly diverse society.
This University can and should do better for all students. By providing equitable transportation as a model of how those in management positions should allocate funds and services, the University both can better serve the entire student body and equip its future alumni for success.

Human ability to reason used for both good, bad
.
Last week, while working on the fruitful adventure known as my honors thesis, I heard what sounded like Stevie Nicks' voice booming from the bathroom. The mysterious voice was followed by loud exclamations that resembled a sea otter having an orgasm.
DEVIN SIKES
dsikes@kansan.com
I sat in the chair, expecting a furry wildebeest to emerge from behind the door, when out walked my roommate.
Steve Nicks he wasn't, but his karaoke debut with Aimee Mann's most recent album brought him that much closer to his ideal woman, and elucidated my mind to a trait ever-present in each human agent. The ability to think abstractly to realize one's dreams, achieve the unexpected and overcome the impossible.
Human beings are endowed with reason, a trait shared with other creatures in the animal kingdom.
Other animals, such as dogs, have basic cognition skills that allow them to analyze a situation, given a set of circumstances, and choose an appropriate response.
For example, although the careless Timmy fell down the well multiple times, Lassie sensed the danger that the young boy faced and rushed to the authorities to seek assistance.
Similarly, the same could be said when the analogy is extended further to illustrate the equivalent result.
Thus, humans as well as other animals share basic reasoning skills that allow them to think abstractly and conceptually.
So what makes humans different from other animals? Unlike flora and fauna, linguistic philosopher Noam Chomsky argues that humans have the ability to think abstractly.
In the case of a drunk male sitting across the bar from a blonde bombshell, although he does not assuredly know how she will respond, he proceeds to make a move after she has repeatedly winked at him.
As human beings, not only are we able to comprehend a cause and effect situation or a trained response, but we can also postulate a plethora of potentials in any given situation.
Of course, this capacity contributes to positive, as well as negative, results.
Human thought in the aforementioned manner has brought technological advancements, methods for improving basic daily functions and has allowed individuals, such as Paris Hilton, to ruin pop culture.
In my personal experience, these skills have shown my limits as well as my potentials.
Ten years beforehand, I stood in front of the mirror practicing my jump shot, pretending to be the next superstar of the NBA. Inspired by the last great white hope of my era, Chris Mullin, I went to the barber and had my hair cut identical to his.
Although I was the most uncoordinated, ungifted and awkward player on the court, with a bowl cut and braces to boot, I was, in my mind, quickly on my way to basketball stardom.
Yet, this multifaceted process has allowed me to realize my future lies within the classroom.
Abstract and conceptual thinking is essential in the foundation of knowledge at any level, including the basic of understanding literature, philosophical, scientific, political and linguistic themes.
Further, abstract and conceptual thinking allows an individual to go beyond these pre-established schemes, to cross unknown boundaries in these studies and to lead thought itself in a new direction.
Whether your dream is to be serenaded with Aimee Mann lullabies, practice international law, or right the wrongs in an unjust environment, thinking abstractly is essential to each agent.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
U.S.military effort to promote freedom shouldn't be taken lightly by Americans
I am writing a response to Wednesday's "The Letter to the Editor" from Brian Pearson.
I am appalled that the author actually wrote, "The problem is no one wants to believe that we deserved to be attacked" referencing Sept 11th. Wow. One of my best friends was killed in the Pentagon attack. The worst of it, was he had a brother that was killed two years earlier in an accident and now, thanks to the Sept. 11 attacks, his parents are without kids. The Sept. 11 attack was against innocent civilians, not our Army bases nor our Naval ships, not even our Air Force planes; they just attacked the average American citizen at work or flying to visit their grandparents. Would you like to tell the victims' families that you think they deserved it?
Last time I checked, our military didn't attack Iraq's churches and schools or shoot down their passenger planes for the heck of it, yet it is okay for others to attack our civilians?
Despite the media, who loves to put the military down and distort the image of our men and women over in Iraq. The military does not want to kill innocent civilians. We are trying to help them. We aim at military targets and train to hit those targets with little to no damage to civilians.
You may be wondering how I know this for a fact and it is because I have been over there three times in the last four years. Before the war, the Iraqi military loved to try and shoot down my aircraft, even though we were not doing anything.
Did we shoot back and defend ourselves? No.
Why not? Because Iraq's military liked to put
their weapons in or near churches and schools
and we did not want to kill innocent civilians, despite the fact they — as in their military — were trying to kill us. If you are such a broad-minded person, who is neither liberal nor conservative and want to get to the truth, try talking to the people who are risking their lives for your freedom, the freedom you possess so that you can write letters like this. It is freedom you have, not just 'license'. I am fighting for freedom, not license.
Finally, just so we are clear, fascism, according to the dictionary, is "a government system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism." How is this amazing country where you have the right to vote for whoever you want? How are we "becoming more and more fascists as the years go by"?
Maybe you can ask all the immigrants who have come to America and are still trying to come to America, sacrificing their home, money, friends, perhaps family, maybe their life. Why they are coming to a place that is turning 'fascist?
I am a proud member of the United States Navy and love this country so much that I am willing, and already have, put my life on the line for you so that you can write your opinion, insult my best friends senseless death and put down our democratic government.
I will continue to do this for you, happily and proudly, and for everyone in this country no matter if they are liberal, conservative, Muslim or Christian, until the day I die. Most importantly, I am not alone in this fight for your freedom.

Junior guard Stephen Vinson and sophomore guard Nick Bahe watch the game yesterday during a crucial Kansas run in the second half. The Jayhawks tied the game at 64 late in the second half after being down by as many as 15 points, but they eventually fell to the Tigers, 72-68.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
With Hawkins, Robinson, and Galindo seeing important minutes late in the game, the Jayhawks slowly chipped away at the Tigers' lead. Also helpful was that Missouri cooled off from behind the arc. They went 0-8 in the second half.
Senior guard Aaron Miles kept the Jayhawks in the game. On one play, he stripped a Missouri player on defense, pushed the ball up-court and set up sophomore guard J.R. Giddens for a three-point shot. Giddens missed, but Moody tipped the rebound to Miles who fired immediately.
Kansas was within three.
It tied the score at 64 when Giddens hit a shot from behind the arc. The Jayhawks switched to a zone on the next possession and got the ball back and an opportunity to take the lead. Galindo missed a three from the corner and fouled Missouri forward Linas Kleiza on the other end.
"When we had it tied with the ball, and we have a bad possession and go down and fouled them, that about as bad a series you can ask from guys." Self said.
Hanging within four points, Miles passed to Galindo for a quick bucket, but with time running out, Kansas had to foul. A couple of free throws by Kleiza put the Tigers back up by four with 30 seconds left.
This time, it was Miles who drove to the basket in the game's final seconds, a job usually reserved for Langford. Miles lost the handle on the ball and Missouri ran the clock out. After the game Langford was frustrated that it wasn't him shouldering the load with the game on the line.
"It was a tough situation knowing that I could have been out there helping," Langford said.
The good news for Kansas fans is that Langford said it would take more than an injury to keep him out of his last NCAA Tournament.
"Come on man, there is no way I won't play in the post season," Langford said. "If I can move whatsoever, I'll be out on the floor."
Langford's mother, Charlene Taylor, said her son's injury was to a bone on the inside of his left foot. She said it was swollen and excruciatingly painful.
"If it's not cracked, I'd say Keith would play on Friday," Taylor said referring to the Jayhawks first round match-up in the Big 12 tournament. She said that, barring any worse news, perhaps that the injury was season-ending. The coaches and medical staff would want Langford to sit out until the NCAA Tournament. But she said with so much to gain in the Big 12 tournament, her son wouldn't want to watch from the bench.
"If it is not medically impossible for him to play, he'll play Friday," Taylor said. "To help our seeding or to solidify our No. 2 seed we basically have to win the Big 12 tournament," Taylor said. "If it is not medically impossible for him to play, he'll play Friday."

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri coach Quin Snyder had never defeated Kansas coach Bill Self, before yesterday, but he didn't give his players the "win one for the Gipper" speech.
Instead, he told them to play for senior guards Jason Conley and Brian Dailey.
Coney and Brian Daffey. The two were winless at home against Kansas, and no one wearing black and gold wanted to see Kansas spoil a fourth straight Senior Day. In particular, Snyder challenged his underclassman to play like there was no tomorrow.
classifier and how they intercept. Snyder pushed the right buttons, because Missouri came out on fire. In the first half, the Tigers shot 80 percent from three-point range and built a lead that they never relinguished.
"There is always some of that on Senior Day." Snyder said. "It doesn't always have the desired effect. You want to win too badly. I think a lot of it depends on your underclassmen and how they respond to the seniors."
"Coach has always had a lot of confidence in us," junior guard Jimmy McKinney said. "Tonight we finally showed why he believes."
showed why he believes.
After the final buzzer sounded, Snyder fought his way through a mob of students who rushed the court to celebrate Missouri's 72-68 victory. "To see our crowd today was just unbelievable," Snyder said. "The students were phenomenal, and so was the entire building. To me, that says a lot about what our guys are doing."
Once he made his way off the court, Snyder embraced McKinney, who scored a career-high 21 points.
"I told him I wanted to see him smile out there," Snyder said. "We talked about making every possession like
you're out there on the playground."
Smile McKinney did, because after a season of sub-par performances, he finally came through for the Tigers. Snyder said McKinney's struggles were hardly a secret, but he thought with motivation he could snap out of his slump.
The St. Louis native broke out of his funk in a big way. He went 6-of-7 from the field, buried three point shots, and made six free throws. His only missed shot of the day came on a jumper with 4:43 remaining in the first half.
"I attacked today" McKinney said. "Every coach came up and told me to just play free. If I had the shot, they just wanted me to take it."
He wasn't the only Tiger to step up for Missouri. Sophomore forward Linas Kleiza scored 15 points and pulled down 14 rebounds, and sophomore guard Thomas Gardner recorded a game-high 23 points.
"To me, this is one of the best games of his career," Snyder said. "For him to go 1-of-8, and never lose his poise, and to defend and rebound the entire game just shows me that's the kind of player we need him to be all the time."
Gardner gave the Tigers a balanced 23 points, which was his career-best effort. He also grabbed five rebounds and made two assists.
Gardner recorded Kleiza went 1-of-8 from the field, but did most of his damage from the free-throw line. He went to the line 18 times, and he came away with 12 points.
and made two challenges. Missouri's underclassmen played so well that the seniors' efforts seemed to be lost after the game, but that didn't bother Conley one bit.
"That's one of the happiest memories I'll ever have," Conley said. "There's nothing like beating them here."
After scoring nine points against rival Kansas, he was more than willing to share the stage.
Coach Bill Self shows his frustration with his team's play during the second half. Self said losing senior guard Keith Langford to injury was the most disappointing aspect of yesterday's game.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Kansas Jayhawks got off to the start that they wanted, surging ahead 8-0 in the first half yesterday against Missouri. But with one tumble by the team's most important player, Keith Langford, the Jayhawks' destiny changed.

Defensive improvement since facing Southwest Missouri State last week was not enough for Kansas as they went 1-3 in the NBC Classic in Starkville, Miss., this weekend.
The Jayhawks (13-8) played two teams in the tournament twice. Kansas finished up against No. 17 Mississippi State
Although Kansas had nine hits, Mississippi State timed its 10 hits more effectively, which resulted in a 9-2 victory. The Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first. Two hits, a walk and a jayhawk error set the score at 3-0.

Big 12 Tournament play begins with rivalry
When Kansas and Missouri tip off at noon tomorrow, it will mark the beginning of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Women's Basketball Tournament.
With five teams ranked in the top 25 and eight teams with winning records, it is no small task to predict a winner. In fact, considering some of the upsets that have occurred already in
the big 12 this year, this tournament may be wide open.
The winner of that game will face No. 1 seed, and Big 12 regular season champion, Baylor. The Bears are ranked No. 8 in the nation, and finished with a 14-2 record in conference. Overall, they finished 24-3. Baylor leads the conference in three-point percentage and in

Juniors Hallman, Kemp receive Big 12 honorable mentions
Juniors Erica Hallman and Crystal Kemp were named to the All-Big 12 Conference Honorable Mention team Friday.
The selections were the first all-conference honors for the Jayhawks since the 2000-01 season when three Kansas players were honorably mentioned.
From the outside Hallman, a guard, has made a name as a dangerous perimeter shooter, currently ranking as the school's third-best three point shooter.
She is one of two players in the Big 12 to average at least 12 points and five assists a game. During her career, Hallman has accumulated 325 assists, making her sixth on the career list at Kansas.
Kemp, a forward, is leading Kansas in scoring and rebounding and reached the 1,000 point plateau this year. She is only the 11th player in the program's history to score 1,000 points and grab 500 rebounds. For the season Kemp averaged 13.3 points and 8.7 rebounds a contest.

Community college coach faces fraud, theft charges
GREAT BEND — A Barton County Community College panel is considering revoking the diplomas of some men's basketball players who were named in an indictment against a former coach.
Former coach Ryan Wolf faces a 37-count indictment for fraud, theft and embezzlement, and he's also accused of providing false information about athletes to officials at other universities.
If the college does revoke degrees, it will be the first time since unveiling a new policy in January. President Veldon Law said.

It's been a bad time lately for Jim Ryun's longstanding Kansas track records. Benson Chesang broke Ryun's 1968 time for the 3,000-meter event on Feb. 12, and last Saturday, Jeremy Mims broke Ryun's record in the 800-meter event.

SKATEBOARDING
Jordan Finney, 17, performs what is known as An Ollie North, a more advanced version of the Ollie, in Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge Road, Saturday afternoon. Finney has been skating for a year this April and often warms up at the park before going street skating after five o'clock. He goes out to street skate after five because businesses are usually closed and there are few pedestrians out. Like many skaters, sponsorship is on Finney's mind. He and his friends often video tape each other skating in hopes of receiving a sponsor to help pay for such expenses as professional equipment. Some of the videos are made for fun, though, Finney said.

KANSAN STAFF REPORTS sports@kansan.com
The Kansas softball team was a grand slam away from winning the Kay Brechtelsbauer Classic this weekend.
Kansas won the first three games it played, before losing to tournament-host Southern Illinois in the championship game 4-2.
Kansas played two games on Saturday, defeating Ball State 8-1 and Southern Illinois 5-4 in eight innings. Freshman
Christina Ross recorded the victory in game one, while junior Serena Settlemier picked it up in game two.
In the game against Ball State, the Jayhawks received home runs from junior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein and junior outfielder Ashley Goodrich. Against Southern Illinois, Frankenstein hit another home run. Frankenstein also hit in the winning run in game two with a single to left field.
Yesterday's first game was against Valparaiso. Sophomore
Kassie Humphreys recorded a 4-3 victory. Frankenstein, junior second baseman Jessica Moppin and junior third baseman Nettle Fierros all had runs.
Overall, the Jayhawks had five hits on 24 at-bats. Valparaiso had just two hits in 24 at-bats and left one on base, while the Jayhawks left three.
The Jawhaws jumped on the board first with two runs in the first inning. Frankenstein and
designated hitter Serena Settlemier recorded the RBI. Settlemier then came in as a pitcher for the last 5.2 innings.
After pitching five scoreless innings, Settlemier gave up a grand slam home run in the sixth inning. Settlemier had previously loaded the bases on a combination of walks and errors.
The Jayhawks had an opportunity to tie the game in the seventh inning, but they came away empty-handed. For the game, the Jayhawks stranded six,
while the Salukis stranded four.
The Jayhawks will open their season at Arrocha Ballpark Friday with the Holiday Inn Jayhawk Classic. Louisville and Southwest Missouri State will face one another round-robin style, with each team playing five games.
GOLF
Game one for Kansas is at 1 p.m. on Friday, and the rest of the games are spread throughout Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Weekend brimming with upsets in top 10
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Upsets were common among top 10 teams in the last weekend of the college basketball regular season. None was bigger than unranked Ohio State's victory against previously undefeated Illinois.
Ohio State 65, No.1 Illinois 64.
Ohio State reserve forward Matt Sylvester hit a three-pointer with 5.1 seconds left yesterday to hand the top-ranked Illini their first defeat, 65-64.
The Illini (29-1, 15-1) were trying to cap the Big Ten's first unbeaten season in 29 years. Instead, they frittered away a 12-point lead in the second half and didn't score over the final 3 minutes.
"Everyone says a loss will help. We'll find out," coach Bruce Weber said. "We'll learn from it and move on. This next stretch is the most important of the year, and that's what people are going to remember."
AP Photo/Kilichiro Sato
Florida 53, No.3 Kentucky 52
Matt Walsh heaved the ball into the stands, David Lee jumped onto a courtside table, and Anthony Roberson ripped off his jersey.
Florida's "Big Three" celebrated their first victory over Kentucky like no other.
Roberson scored 21 points, including two free throws with 15 seconds remaining, and the Gators upset the third-ranked Wildcats 53-52 yesterday.
Florida ended an eight-game losing streak against the Southeastern Conference bully and probably ended the Wildcats' hopes of getting a top seed in the NCAA Tournament. Texas 74, No.8 Oklahoma State 73
"That was four years in the making right there," Lee said.
Brad Buckman tied a career high with 27 points, and Texas put an impressive victory on its NCAA Tournament résumé.
The Cowboys' Terrence Crawford had a chance to tie it when Buckman fouled him on a desperation heave with 0.3 seconds left, but he missed the second of three foul shots.
The loss ended the Oklahoma State's homecourt winning streak—the longest in the nation
at 29 games. The Cowboys hadn't lost at home since Feb. 24. 2003, against Texas Tech.
Kenny Taylor added 11 for Texas (20-9, 9-7 Big 12).
Joey Graham scored 17 to lead Oklahoma State (20-6, 11-5), and JamesOn Curry added 16. Stanford 7, No 10 Washington 67
Matt Haryasz had a career-high 24 points and 10 rebounds, and an inspired Stanford dashed the Huskies' hopes of a share of the Pac-10 title.
Arizona's win over Arizona State, gave the Wildcats the conference title. The Huskies (24-5, 14-4 Pac-10) haven't won a league title since tying with Southern California in 1985.
The loss, combined with
Brandon Roy had 16 points and eight rebounds, but the cold-shooting Huskies never found any rhythm. Washington had won four straight and eight of nine, and the Huskies' frustration was evident when Roy hammered Fred Washington under the basket with 26.6 seconds left for an intentional four.
Stanford (17-11, 11-7) increased its NCAA Tournament chances with the victory. The Cardinal have reached the tournament's second round each of the past 10 seasons.
OHIO STATE
No. 2 North Carolina 75, No. 6 Duke
73
Freshman Marvin Williams had it all in his hands - the game, the outright Atlantic Coast Conference title and a probable No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Ohio State J.J. Sullinger celebrates the win against Illinois with the tans Sunday, March 6, 2015, in Columbus, Ohio.
He handled the pressure like a veteran.
The dynamic forward converted a three-point play with 17 seconds left to cap North Carolina's game-closing 11-0 run and give the second-ranked Tor Heels a 75-73 victory over No. 6 Duke yesterday.
Sean May of North Carolina
had 26 points and 24 rebounds to record his eighth straight double-double, and his final rebound was the most important. After J.J. Redick missed a long three-pointer that would have won it for the Blue Devils, teammate Daniel Ewing had a final chance from just inside the arc.
But his shot was short, and May leaped high for the carom. He cradled the ball in his hand while the clock ran out, then hurled it into the stands. Hundreds of fans rushed the court to celebrate the Tar Heels' third victory over their Tobacco Road rival in the past 16 meetings.
Woods wins Doral, retakes No.1 spot
MIAMI — Tiger Woods turned in a performance worthy of his return to No. 1
In a dramatic duel with Phil Mickelson that came down to the last shot yesterday, Woods made a 30-foot birdie put on the 17th hole to take the lead, then a 6-foot par putt to close with a 6-under 66 and win the Ford Championship at Doral, giving him the No.1 ranking for the first time since September.
Mickelson, coming off dominant victories in his last two stroke-play tournaments, had an opportunity to force a playoff or possibly win on the 18th. His 30-foot chip looked good all the way, but caught the lower lip. He closed with a 69.
Woods, who earned $990,000 for his second victory of the year, finished at 24-under 264 to break by one shot the tournament record at Doral, previously held by Jim Furyk (2000) and Greg Norman (1993).
Vijay Singh, who had been No.1 the last 26 weeks after beating Woods in a Labor Day duel outside Boston, closed with a 66 to finish third.
Annika shoots 68 rallies in Mexico
HUIXQUILUCAN, Mexico — Annika Sorenstam rallied to win her first LPGA Tour event of the year, shooting a 4-under 68 in windy conditions for a three-stroke victory in the inaugural MasterCard Classic.
Sorrenstam had eight birdies — five in a row on Nos. 2-6 — to offset four bogeys in the strong wind on the high-altitude Bosque Real Country Club course.
The Swedish star, also playing for the first time since filing for divorce from David Esch, won her 57th LPGA Tour title, finishing at 7-under 209. Last year, she won eight tour events and two international titles.
Karrie Webb,the ANZ Ladies Masters winner last week in Australia, had a 70 to finish second.

If Langford does not return for the postseason, it will be nearly impossible for the Jayhawks to make progress in the NCAA Tournament, and all
The seniors are integral parts to this team's success, without guard Aaron Miles or forward Wayne Simien, it would be tough for the Jayhawks to pull out a victory. But Langford is special. He is able to change the complexion of a game, no matter what the circumstances. Most importantly, Langford is a winner and without him, victory

won't come easily.
Kansas coach Bill Self said the most disappointing thing about yesterday's game was not the loss or the scoring droughts, but losing Langford. Self tried many different line ups after Langford went down, none of
which were overly successful. Self said it was "trial and error," in terms of who played as Langford's replacement. It is difficult to replace a player who does so much for the team.
Kansas won't have Langford's clutch shooting during close ball games and they won't have his slashing ability which helps him get to the free-throw line. They could have used that late in yesterday's game, after sophomore guard J.R. Giddens helped tie the game in the final minutes.

"I really could have been out there helping," Langford said as he stood on crutches. "Watching the game is a tough situation to be in."
Langford is one of the toughest competitors in the Big 12 Conference and he will likely do everything possible to play in the Jayhawks first conference tournament game on Friday.
Self said that would be determined after an MRI or X-rays were conducted.
If Langford were to miss Friday's game, junior guard Jeff Hawkins may be Self's first choice as a substitute. Freshman guard Russell Robinson's improved play from yesterday will likely grant him more minutes as well, Self said. The Jawhacks, though, hope it doesn't come down to spreading out Langford's minutes. This team needs Langford.

with five RBI.
Besides Ritchie Price's RBI in the third, senior catcher Sean Richardson knocked in the other run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
"We had opportunities to score early." Ritch Price said. "We just need to get more two-out hits."
Kodiak Quick (4-1), junior right-hander, pitched five innings, surrendered nine runs, and walked two. No Jayhawk pitcher gave up more than three walks in any appearance this weekend.
"I was pleased with Zagurski's performance. I was also pleased with Don Czzy and Sean Land," Ritch Price said. "There were a lot of positives even though we didn't get as many wins as we would liked."
The Jayhawks were also unable to take down Mississippi State. In the final game of Saturday's doubleheader, they fell to the Bulldogs, 5-0.
Bulldog right-hander Josh Johnson took the win. He allowed one run in six innings.
Game winner Todd Doolittle, allowed no hits through six innings of work.
"These are the best arms we've since Stanford," Price said. "That's part of the reason we made the trip — to see some better pitching before the Big 12."
Senior left-handed pitcher Mike Zagurski (3-2) threw his first complete game of the year and allowed five runs while striking out eight batters.
Junior outfielders A.J. Van Slyke and Gus Milner were the only Jaywhacks who had hits in the third game. Game two went in the Jaywhacks' favor as they defeated Austin Peavl, 11-4.
Kansas racked up a season-high 17 hits in the contest. The Jayhawks jumped out to an early lead in the first, and scored three runs as the first five batters reached base. Not another run scored until the sixth inning when Austin Peytied the game at three. Prior to the Governors' sixth-inning rally, Sean Land, sophomore left-hander, retired 14 batters in order. Kansas wasted no time in the bottom half of the sixth and scored two. The Jayhawks sent six runners across the plate in the eighth. Van Slyke hit his third homer of the season and collected two RBI in the process.
Ritchie Price stopped a two-game hitless skid and exploded for three RBI on three hits. Land (2-1) grabbed the win and junior closer Don Czyz threw 2.1 scoreless innings and picked up his second save

said. "We've been allowing too many basruns, but our pitchers pitched well all weekend."
Governor left-handed pitcher Devin Thomas took the loss. Kansas faced Austin Peay in game one of the tournament. The Governors won 11-6. Kansas outhit Austin Peay 15-10, but the effort was not enough.
Travis Dunlap, senior designated hitter, went 3-3 with four RBI, including a two-run homer, his first of the season. Freshman third baseman Erik Morrison collected a career high three hits.
"I feel good about the weekend. I feel like our freshmen made progress," Ritch Price said. "It was a big weekend for them."
Senior right-hander Clint Schambach (2-2) took the loss. He allowed six runs in four innings. Right-hander Shawn Kelley (2-1) tallied the win.
Kansas will return home to face North Dakota State this weekend in a three-game series.

PHJ KAPPA THETA
Fraternity expelled
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
AND ERIC SORRENTINO
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
The Interfraternity Council Judicial Board unanimously voted to expel Phi Kappa Theta fraternity from the University of Kansas yesterday afternoon. This is the first time the IFC has expelled a fraternity.
The IFC no longer recognizes Phi Kappa Theta as a fraternity at the University and members suggest it will no longer be recognized as a chapter of its national fraternity. Founded in 1915, the KU chapter of Phi Kappa Theta is the fraternity's oldest chapter in the United States.
According to IFC rules, the fraternity has five days to
appeal. The fraternity will file an appeal within the week, Matt Moreno, Phi Kappa Theta president and Wichita sophomore, said.
The IFC filed 24 charges against the fraternity for recruitment and alcohol policy violations.
The charges resulted from a noise complaint the Lawrence police answered at the fraternity house, 1111 W. 11th St., on Feb. 19.
Lawrence police found the fraternity operated an "open saloon"selling alcohol without a license and to minors.
Police confiscated 16 kegs of beer, $517 in cash and signs that advertised the party, according to a Lawrence police report.
All functions and events must be registered with the IFC. This
event was not, however.
"Because of their seemingly blatant disregard for following the rules we have, we feel their punishment is fair and appropriate," Scott Shorten, IFC president, said.
The judicial board of the IFC asked the national office to consider revoking Phi Kappa Theta's charter until at least fall 2009, according to a University Relations statement.
Phi Kappa Theta's national board of trustees will conduct a separate hearing in April, Kevin Lampe, national secretary of Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, said. Until the outcome of that hearing, the fraternity will still be recognized by the national fraternity although the IFC no longer does.
If Phi Kappa Theta loses its
charter, the national fraternity will work with the alumni and the University Administration to determine the best time for the charter to be reinstated, Lampe said.
The national fraternity does not expect residents of the house to vacate if it removes Phi Kappa Theta's charter.
"They are not going to be moved into the street tonight," Lampe said.
Since the event, Phi Kappa Theta has scheduled alcohol education seminars for this semester. Every member is required to attend at least two, Moreno said in a statement.
Moreno would not comment further about the appeal or the IFC's decision.

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
In response to complaints made by Naismith and Oliver Hall residents, KU on Wheels added an extra bus to the Naismith/Oliver-GSP route yesterday.
To keep operating costs the same, KU On Wheels cut hours from the Jayhawk Express route, a free bus that only runs on campus. Rather than running until 3:45 p.m., the route ends at 1:45 p.m.
The added Naismith/Oliver-GSP bus runs between 8 and 10 a.m., during the peak hours of ridership. The added bus will not run the entire route.

PARKING
Parking prices may increase
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
kbICKEL STAFF WRITER
The Parking Commission could decide as early as this week whether parking rates, including the price of a permit, will change.
The commission had an emergency meeting last Friday to discuss the results of a parking study conducted from 2004 through early 2005.
Chance Management Advisors, a Philadelphia-based consulting firm, prepared the three-part study, which was due in November 2004.
The Parking Commission has reviewed the first part of the study and will now determine whether to increase parking rates for fall 2005.
Donna Hultine, Parking Department director, said that the committee would likely recommend an increase in rates.
Parking rates include the prices of parking permits, parking tickets, event parking and fees for parking in garages and at meters. Permits are the main source of money for the parking department, Hultine said.
"Our focus is on trying to bring up annual revenue with permits," she said.
Range of increase has not been decided, Hultine said.
The current $85 for a yellow permit is less than other Big 12 Universities, according to information from Chance Management Advisors. The University has the third cheapest student permit rates behind Kansas State, $75, and Oklahoma State, $44.
DISCUSSION
The Parking Commission will have two meetings this month to discuss parking-related issues, including a possible change in parking rates for Fall 2005. Meetings are open to the public.
The Parking
The Parking Commission will meet at 1:30 p.m. Fri., March 11 at the conference room in the Parking Department, 1501 Irving Hill Road.
The Parking Department will have an open forum at 1:15 p.m. Thu., March 17 at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

The report recommends increasing the annual maintenance budget from $500,000 to a minimum of $700,000 to $900,000 to cover both annual and deferred maintenance.
Tom Mulinazzi, Parking Commission chairman, said that these were just recommendations. Not all recommendations will be implemented, he said.
But the Parking Commission will have to make a recommendation on rates sometime this month. he said.

"Right now, the rates are not sufficient to cover maintenance." Mulinazzi said.

Coalitions release election platforms; new group joins
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Getting online ticket redemption, preventing false fire alarms in residence halls and expanding wireless Internet to residence halls highlight a few of the main issues for the coalitions running for Student Senate.
KUnited wants to implement a system for students to redeem their basketball tickets online, rather than having to wait in line at Allen Fieldhouse.
"If a student comes outside in the middle of the night after the alarm is pulled, and is covered in purple that would be punishment enough." Elaine Jardon, Delta Force presidential candidate and Overland Park park sophomore said.
Nick Sterner, KUnited presidential candidate and Shawnee junior, said he had already met with some administrators in the Athletics Department and it was something that was feasible.
One of Delta Force's main issues is equipping the fire alarms at residence halls with ink that sprays in all directions if pulled.
STUDENT SENATE COALITION PLATFORMS
The main issues for the new
coalition, Student Voice, are tuition and an open student government.
The election is set for April 13 through 14.
Dennis Chanay, presidential candidate for Student Voice and Paola freshman, said that many students in the residence halls had complained about ResNet.
The only issue that is on two different platforms is parking. However, Delta Force and KUnited have different issues about the department.
"Every student is going to mess up once," Jardon said. "The parking department has money, and students don't."
Delta Force proposes a one time reduction of a parking ticket. A student would have the charge of the ticket reduced from $20 to $5.
KUnited is also proposing that students be able to pay their parking tickets online.
Delta Force, KUnited and Student Voice have announced their campaign platforms.

This April, students will be sending their W-2's to the Internal Revenue Service, or at least to their parents.
Tax season is officially underway and the deadline for submission of income tax returns is April 15.
Efile by tax professionals 33.4%
Efile by tax individuals 11.4%
TeleFile 2.9%
paper returns 52.3%
Ways to file
"My wife and I have telefiled in the past but the internet filing just runs you right through it," Yancy Dominick, Helena, Mont., graduate student, said. "This is going to be the first year we are going to do it."
These are the ways people filed income tax in 2004
Costs for tax preparation services for student returns can vary depending on whether students have loans, grants or outside income, and their method of filing and filing status, Miller said. Outside income includes such criteria as stocks and bonds. Whether students are married, single or claimed by their parents determines their filing status. If students' returns have a lot of these criteria, their returns are considered complex.
Student returns are generally pretty easy to file said Nate Miller, H&R Block accountant.
Internet filing can be free depending on the complexity of the return. The IRS allows private companies to offer filing services on its Web site.
The IRS does not offer a direct method of e-filling, but it offers links to outside companies on its Web site, irs.gov, through which individuals can submit their returns electronically.
Computer filing through the Internet offers the option of preparing taxes at home. The online service asks a series of questions and the user's answers are filled into the return.
Electronic services have become a more popular way to file in the last three years, and the government encourages people to submit electronically by offering free filing and resending forms after the first year of use.
Those who want similar comforts can telefile, which is a free service offered by the IRS. People fill out the regular tax forms and call the IRS hotline, which asks automated questions for the numbers on the forms.
Although the government has made strides to help the average person do his own taxes, many students still depend on their parents.
"I have telefiled for the past two years," Evan Kreider, Potsdam, N.Y., graduate student, said. "It took me an hour to fill out the forms and call them in, and the next year the government sent me the paperwork I needed."
Most companies offer free returns, depending on the complexity of the return.
"Eventually I would like to do my own taxes," said Erin Wiley, Silver Lake sophomore. "But since they do it for me, I might as well let them."
Many parents prepare their chil

dron's taxes so they can claim them as dependents, Miller said.
"Students who do their own taxes often believe they can get a school credit on their taxes," Miller said. "However, they don't get this credit if their parents are claiming them."
H&R Block's beginning cost is $64 for the most simple returns, which do not include an outside outcome or have a married status. The price rises as the return becomes more expensive.
The final option is to fill out the forms and send them to the IRS by mail. People can retrieve the forms from the IRS Web site and fill them out themselves.
"Anyone can fill out their forms." Miller said. "But unless you know all the deductions you can receive and how to go about putting them in, you can lose money."

Global health deteriorating
BY BETSY MCLEOD

KANSAN CORrespondent
Global public health is decreasing at an alarming rate because the wealthy countries of the world are not putting in enough effort to relieve the welfare and disease epidemics occurring in third-world countries, said Laurie Garrett, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Every year, the Self Graduate Fellowship targets a global issue in modern society. This year's issue is the state of global public health and the outbreak of devastation that could occur if it continues to be ignored, said Cathy Dwigans, program associate for the fellowship.
"We are facing the disappearance of entire cultures, if we do not take on the responsibilities that come with being a world leader," Garrett said.
Garrett spoke about the inadequate efforts of the world's leading countries to aid suffering societies in a lecture hosted by the Self Graduate Fellowship on the problems in global health, to more than 300 people last night last night at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Although the United States, along
Garrett said. "We know how to charge into a place, give a few vaccinations, and return home as heroes. But we fail to follow up on those vaccinations, therefore making them ineffective."
Lack of money and political will renders many people around the world uneducated about infection control, and mistakes, such as the use of dirty needles in hospitals, are being made, Garrett said.
"My concern is how we are going about dealing with the survivors, to help control disease outbreaks caused by all the stagnant water,"
with Japan and the United Kingdom, have taken on efforts to help the global health problems, the amount of money and aid being produced simply isn't enough. Garrett also said that despite the money that poured in to help victims of
"The fact that the United States is a leading nation obliges us to be part of the solution for global health," Garrett said.
Garrett said governments needed to put forth more effort to establish long-term effects. Around the Indian Ocean, several outbreaks of malaria, cholera, dysentery and typhoid have been a direct result of the inappropriate ways relief was provided to the tsunami victims, she said.
The AIDS epidemic and the airborne infection tuberculosis is only beginning to be felt in Africa, and in the next decade, the AIDS epidemic will become the Black Plague of the 21st century. Garrett said.
the Dec. 26 tsunami in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka received only $75 million, which was 4 percent of the promised $8 billion.
"Governments want to look like they're doing something to help," Garrett said. "Unfortunately many of the ways help is given is only short-term."
Garrett proposed that the United States should focus on sending preventative measures early, instead of sending emergency vaccinations after an outbreak of both AIDS and tuberculosis has occurred.
"After all," she said, "you never know when an infected person will board a plane to America."

A race for years to come An outline of the 1 to 1.5 mile race in Lawrence
Adam Mills compares cycling to a combination of chess and poker.
"You combine position and tactics," Mills, Lawrence graduate student, said. "You watch everybody, and the more you see, the better the odds are that you see a point where you can win the race."
And this spring the odds are that Lawrence residents will discover more about Mills' fascination with cycling.
Mills and other members of the KU Cycling Club will help host the National Collegiate Cycling Association Road National Championships May 13 to 15 in Lawrence.
This is the first time the championship will be held in Lawrence. The city won the bid, largely because of its central location in the country, to host the event from 2005 through 2008.
The three-day competition consists of three different races: a 75-mile road race, a 1-mile loop course called a criterium and a team time trial race.
The KU Cycling Club, the Lawrence Sports Corporation and KLM Marketing, of Kansas City, Mo., submitted the bid and are planning the competition. The planning will be finalized over the next two weeks. Last week, the Lawrence City Commission approved a request to close roads near downtown Lawrence for the criterium race.
Chris Hess, coach of the KU Cycling Club, said the criterium would be the most spectator-friendly course.
"It's a lot of riders in a small space," he said. "Some of the bestriders may not finish the race because there will be crashes. It's similar to watching a football game."
Universities from across the country will compete in the

championship. About 300 to 400 athletes will participate, said Andy Phelps, Shawnee senior and president of the KU Cycling Club.
Only eight of the 20 members from the KU Cycling Club will be allowed to participate in the championship. Although the club attended national championships for the last three years, this will be the first championship race for several members.
Brian Jensen, Bornholm, Denmark, sophomore, did not travel with the club to nationals last year because it was too far away and he could not afford the trip. He said the location of the competition was the only reason he could participate this year.
With the championship on his home turf, Jensen can also familiarize himself with the courses.
"Other people may think the road race will be flat because it's in Kansas, but it's really hilly," Jensen said. "Knowing that helps you know where to make moves."
Lawrence won the bid for the competition in December after a race promoter in Connecticut backed out of hosting the event. Traditionally the competition moves to a different city in a different part of the country each year. But moving and reorganizing every year is difficult, so USA Cycling,
the national governing organization for cycling, decided to keep it in one city for several years, Phelps said. Phelps, who also serves on the governing board for collegiate cycling, said this was the first time that USA Cycling has approved a bid for more than two years in a single location.
"Our goal is to start out with a bang," Phelps said. "We want people to know that this is a great place for
cycling and a national championship."
The competition event committee has finalized approval for all three race courses. The committee will officially announce these courses at a press conference on Tuesday, March 15, at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike shop, 802 Massachusetts St.

Student charged with sexual battery
KU Police arrested a KU student late Saturday night on charges of sexual battery, battery and criminal damage.
The male jumped in a car occupied by two females KU students, an 18-year-old and a 19-year-old. The females told the male to get out of the car, but as he was getting out, he touched one of the females on her breast, Bailey said.
Sometime between 10:35 and 10:45 p.m. a group of individuals saw a male in KU parking lot 112 by Oliver Hall walking on cars, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, spokesman for the KU Public Safety Office.
The group confronted the male. He hit a 19-year-old male KU student, Bailey said.
Police arrested the male and booked him in Douglas County jail. Records indicated that he was still in custody yesterday.

A group of KU engineering students and faculty will be the first ever in Kansas to create a satellite.
Students, faculty to launch satellite
The students expect to launch a pico-satellite, or a CubeSat, into orbit at the end of May.
"We're trying to build up a new capability and new industry with the space program in Kansas, and this is the first step," Trevor Sorensen, aerospace engineering associate professor, said.
The satellite is a 10-centimeter cube that weighs less than 2.2 pounds. The CubeSat will be launched inside a larger satellite that will orbit the earth.
The CubeSat will inspect damage on the larger satellite and take pictures of earth and measure radiation in space.
More than 20 students have worked on the CubeSat for the past two years of production.
Need Calcium?

Almost two-thirds of college students do
That milk on your cereal in the morning may be more important than you think.
Having worked with University of Kansas students and their diets, Ann Chapman, Watkins Memorial Health Center dietician, said that the lack of milk in student diets was alarming.
The bare bones of osteoporosis
Not drinking enough milk can lead to various calcium deficiency-related diseases, including osteoporosis, she said.
Normal bone
The inside of the bone is weak and porous. The dale areas represent empty space in the bone.
Low calcium intake can lead to osteoporosis, a degenerative condition that causes back pain, a decrease in height and easily broken bones.

Low bone density and osteoporosis, a condition where bones become porous and break very easily, are two conditions seen about age 50 as a result of low calcium intake, she said.
"I can't tell you how common it is for students to tell me they don't drink milk." she said.
Nearly 70 percent of college-age women and 60 percent of college-age men don't consume enough calcium, she said. Women have a higher risk of getting osteoporosis, she said.
The University has given students
Lack of calcium in someone's diet can lead to bone problems later in life, Chapman said.
The reasons students don't drink milk are numerous and different, Chapman said. Cost, how quickly it spoils and the fact that many students don't like the taste are a few reasons students skip the milk coolers in the grocery store.
Students don't worry about calcium intake because it does not affect them until later in life, she said. By then, it will be difficult to reduce the damage, she said.
more beverage choices on campus. Chapman said.
Dining services in both unions and in The Underground sell milk. There are vending machines with Nesquik dairy products in several campus locations, she said.
Andy Wolff, Shawnee freshman, drinks about two glasses of milk a week. He thinks this could be a problem in the future.
He drank milk every day when he was growing up, but the trend hasn't continued into Wolff's college life.
"I can't remember the last time I had a real breakfast, much less had milk with one," he said.

Though Stacy Lendt, Maryville, Mo., graduate student, is also not worried, she is the opposite of Wolff. She drinks at least one glass of milk a day. Lendt said she had always liked dairy products.
Her mom had to tell her to stop drinking all the milk, she said.
Buying calcium-fortified orange juice is one way Lendt hopes to avoid any future bone problems.
She isn't sure how other people will end up in the future with their bones, but she said she thinks that the popularity of coffee shops and drinks such as lattes may ease the problem.

Professor, literary critic talks about experiences
BY PETER VAN AUKEN
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Kansan correspondent Peter Van Auken sat down with Marc Dambre yesterday afternoon. Dambre, a professor of contemporary French literature, gave a lecture on Oliver Rolin and Rolin's novel, "Tigre en papier," yesterday at the Spencer Research Library. Dambre is a professor of contemporary French literature at 'UUniversité de la Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris III. He has taught at university level in the United States, England and Tunisia and is on the jury of a major French literary prize, the Prix Nimier.
Q. You have spent most of your career as a literary critic. Have you ever had aspirations to write fiction?
A. Yes, early on I considered this, but I felt that in order to make a career of writing I would have put writing above all else. This was not the choice for me because I value other things as well, such as an intellectual life and a love life.
Q: Do you have any tips for students who would like to become more effective writers?
A: The experience of diversity, for two reasons: It develops your critical thinking skills and develops your generosity toward others. Being around other cultures allows you to make comparisons to your own and also find the common points of man that lie in all cultures.
A: First of all, read a lot. Reading and understanding what is already there is the first step in creating something new. Second advice: Practice writing in the style of your favorite writer. Imitate writers to understand how they write. And finally, never let a day pass without writing at least one line.
Q: What do value most about your experiences abroad?
A: Yes, the Belgian singer and songwriter Jacques Brel.
Q: Do you have a favorite musician?

Spongebob's sexuality least of FCC's problems lately
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
According to the Christian activist group, Focus on the Family. no one suitable for family values-centered television.
Catherine
In the hottest scandal since the Tinky Winky — the gay Teletubby — allegations.
BETSY MCLEOD opinion@kansan.com
Spongebob SquarePants is under scrutiny by Christian activists, including James Dobson of the Focus on the Family organization. Spongebob's supposed homosexuality in the We Are Family Foundation's new music video, a remake of the '70s hit song by Sister Sledge. "We Are Family."
"The video, which demonstrates to children the importance of togetherness embodied in the word 'family,' will be distributed to 61,000 public and private elementary schools in the United States on March 11, in celebration of the proposed National We Are Family Day." We Are Family Foundation's Web site said.
But family values activist Ed Vitagliano, news editor of the American Family Association Journal, a monthly publication of the American Family Association, insists that "a short step beneath the surface reveals that one of the differences being celebrated is homosexuality."
Other organizations in uproar about the moral slippage include the American Decency Association and the Parents Television Council.
SpongeBob refused to comment on any of these allegations.
But does it really matter if SpongeBob is giving it to Sandy or taking it from Patrick? And because sponges don't have sexual organs — or sexuality for that matter — one must wonder, seeing how "absorbent and porous and yellow is he," as his theme song says, could he be the victim of sexual abuse from the dominating Mr. Krabs or the condescending Squidward?
Next in the cartoon world's scandalous news, Peter Griffin, father on the show "Family Guy," suffered attacks when he dared to show a bare bottom in the show's family-valued plot.
The faux pas caused uproar at the Federal Communications Commission and the nude derriere was blurred when the episode aired. The Federal Communications Commission is everywhere, taking over the entertainment industry.
CBS lost a shot of a naked
man's backside as he ran down the street in "Without a Trace." NBC obscured shots of an 80-year-old woman's breast during "ER." ACI aired the Academy Awards on a time lapse for the first time last year.
CBS slapped a five-minute video delay on last year's Grammys. Fox is appealing a $1.2 million indecenty fine proposed by the FCC last year for a 2003 episode of "Married by America" that featured whipped-cream covered strippers and digitally obscured nudity.
The Focus on the Family group is pushing congress to take some control over this media madness, but the government's authority to police indecency is restricted to broadcast radio and television only—not cable or satellite—from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Has the FCC become the new Mother for America? Are parents really that scared that their children will start to emulate the immoral SpongeBob SquarePants, the King of the Krabby Patties, rather than the wholesome Britney Spears, the Queen of Pop and 12-hour marriages?
Have the baby boomers, the ones that marched on Washington for equal rights and liberty in the early 1970s, really become so anally retentive about shielding the real world and the humor within it from their kids?

Privatization of education poor step toward reform
The American Education System is at its breaking point, but it hasn't snapped yet. The pressure on American schools is enormous, the public school teachers are bending but have not broken.
Pressures from higher rates of immigration, higher and
PETE PRINCE

more diverse demands and an absurd new federal policy the No Child Left Behind initiative have brought an almost unbearable weight down on the public schools.
To make matters worse, everyone has leaped onto the proverbial bandwagon and ruthlessly criticized the supposed failing public school system.
Extreme right-wingers have even begun to whisper thoughts about privatizing education altogether, President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind platform is seemingly the first step for this nightmare to come true.
To wealthy suburbanites, the privatization of education may not seem like a bad idea — competition breeds better product, right? The problem will rise not in suburbia, but as seems to always be the case, in the urban areas. Who in their capitalistic right mind would open a school in a poor, violent area?
It takes more resources, people and money to make school work in that environment. And the parents and guardians will be incapable of paying as much money to these schools.
More cost, more risk and less profit — does that make sense to you Mr. American businessman?
A continued push toward privatizing education will only further the gap between rich and poor; the educated and uneducated; the satisfied and beleaguered.
Although, with the Kansas Republican platform calling for a flat tax, the abolition of taxes on capital gains — money you make when you sell stock — and the abolition of the estate tax, it seems that a wide gap between rich and poor may be what the Republicans are shooting for. Too bad the poor farmers of Kansas can't figure that out.
Now that we have that crazy thought of private education out of our minds, let's focus on the public schools.
I always hear about the failing American schools, the high school graduates who can't add or read, the test scores that are ranking far below Japan and Korea.
A Sandia National Laboratories report finds that the high school completion rate is more than 90 percent and growing and one in four adult Americans has a bachelor degree — both the highest rates in our nation's history.
Fingers point to lower SAT verbal scores now than in 1975, the difference can be chiefly attributed to the higher percentage of lower-ranking students taking the test.
If the same population took the SAT now, as did in 1975 the scores would be significantly higher, reports Sandia Laboratories. The fact that math scores have continued to rise despite the influx of lower-ranking students is a sign that the math skills of today's children are a great deal higher than in the past.
American test scores are lower than those in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and elsewhere, but making cross-cultural comparisons can be misleading. Many countries, especially in Asia and Europe, begin specialized education at much younger ages 14 or even 11.
That means many students have already left school when these comparisons are taking place. Special education programs in other countries are not part of the school system. This also helps these countries' test scores compare favorably. American public schools are doing just fine, for now.
The imposed federal policy has handcuffed the teachers in America, but they are managing to keep our children's heads above water. If we can find a way for No Child Left Behind to be scrapped or get the Republicans out of office, the children of the future might have an opportunity to survive.
I'll be a public school teacher in six months, so you white-collar conservative, stop pointing your plastic finger at me. It's your government that's going to make our kids stupid, not me.

SOUZA SAYS
Moderate coffee intake advised despite recent cancer research
Now this caffeine-crazed nation can enjoy its coffee in peace. Finally, the Starbucks addicts can relish their frapacinos. Office coffee pots are once again in use. All this because of a recent study that proved a health benefit of coffee.
According to an article by the Associated Press that
GABRIELLA SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
appeared on cnn.com, a study of 90,000 Japanese showed that those who drank coffee nearly every day had half the risk of liver cancer than those who did not drink coffee.
Considering that the American Cancer Society estimates that 18,920 new cases of liver cancer were diagnosed in the United States last year and it caused the deaths of 14,270 people, these results could mean a potential lifestyle change for those worried about the disease.
In other words, people should soon be buying coffee pots. This discovery has great possibilities, and scientists are busy with follow-up studies. However, people should not go crazy with these findings.
Sure, this means that coffee has been proven to be somewhat healthy. But that does not mean that a person's normal intake should increase at all
tility.
and that five mochas a day has been approved. In fact, too much coffee can lead to some serious health risks.
For example, CNN medical correspondent Linda Ciampa reported in a large intake of coffee, more than three cups a day, can have a negative effect on female fer-
It may also play a role in early labor during pregnancy. Also, the caffiene in coffee is a nonaddictive stimulant that it habit forming.
And, according to the American Dietetic Association, excessive caffeine intake can cause the jitters, anxiety and insomnia. There is not one person that would want to encounter sleepless nights just for a caramel latte.
If a person likes coffee, drinks it on a regular basis, nothing is stopping her. But if that person is on his third cup and it is not yet 10 a.m., she should know that she has the potential for some side effects as well.
Just remember to keep it in moderation.

The Jahawks needs to seriously address some issues. Until they do, they have absolutely no chance of contending for any postseason titles.
Langford's absence should have put more emphasis on Wayne Simien in the paint. Unfortunately, the Jayhawks settled for too many bad shots instead of running the offense through Simien. Simien always seems to get it done. In the Oklahoma State game last Sunday, easily the Jayhawks' best game of the season, Simien scored a career-high 32 points.
The biggest knock on this team all season has been its lack
Kansas shot 25 threes on Sunday, making only seven. That's far too many outside shots for a team that boasts one of the nations' most polished power forwards.
of offensive consistency.
On Sunday, this continued to be a problem. There is no offensive unity on this team if anyone other than Langford, Simien, Aaron Miles and Christian Moody is on the floor. If others, including the freshmen and senior Mike Lee, are playing the team doesn't score and they don't play together. The freshmen always look confused and out of position. Rarely do the other guys off the bench jel with the starters. It looks like this team is just starting to practice, not preparing for postseason play.
Kansas needs to practice the fundamentals of running its offense this week before facing the winner of the Texas A&M-Kansas State game Friday. This includes getting the ball to Simien early and often, sharing the ball and taking smart shots.
In the Texas game earlier in the season, arguably Kansas' most complete performance of the season, the team had 24
assists. In those games, the Jayhawks did what they needed to do, putting themselves in the best position to win. That's something that they haven't done consistently all season. They've gotten lucky winning games in which they didn't play well, but now, it's win or go home.
It will take nearly perfect performances from here on out if Kansas expects to make deep postseason runs. They'll need to play together, play smart, play tough, and show more heart than the other guy. It'll be tough, but this team is capable of doing that. The senior class is great, probably one of the best this University has ever seen, but they'll need help from Moody, J.R Giddens and the freshmen. There's still time for Kansas to find its best basketball, but if they don't find it soon, their season will be over.

After the student bus hearings during the last two weeks, the Transportation Board is considering eliminating the Jayhawk Express entirely.
"We're trying to keep our bases covered in a financially responsible manner," Bengston said.
"We would have a current route reworked," Bengston said. "The route would go to the places the Jayhawk Express goes, but it would not be a free bus."
If the Jayhawk Express is eliminated, the Transportation Board has a plan to transport students on campus.
It would make the most sense to re-route it to an area with a greater number of students with greater need, but the decision is ultimately up to the Transportation Board, he said.
The Transportation Board will meet on March 15 to discuss and finalize the routes for next year including the option of making the extra bus on the Naismith/Oliver-GSP route permanent.
If the Jayhawk Express was eliminated, Blake Huff, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said a pay-only bus wouldn't bring in much extra money because fares were a small part of the revenue.

Now that the Big 12 Men's Basketball season is finished, it's time to hand out awards.
The University Daily Kdnsan doesn't have hardware to hand out, but we are honoring the conference's most deserving basketball
players by immortalizing their names in today's paper.
Men's basketball writers Miranda Lenning and Kellis Robinett, along with sports editor Bill Cross and associate sports editor Jonathan Kealing, voted on the teams.
Kansas
all BIG-12
Team
Player of the year: Wayne Simien, Kansas
The senior forward led the Big 12 in scoring, rebounding and double doubles, but because of a mid-season injury he only locked up the league's top honor after his 32-point game against Oklahoma State. Newsmaker of the year Tai Gray
Gray, a junior college transfer, thrived this season. The junior forward topped the Big 12 in field goal percentage and blocked shots.
Newcomer of the year. 14) Gray,
Oklahoma
Freshman of the year: Daniel Gibson Texas
The Longhorns lost two starters early in the conference season, but still managed to finish with an above .500 league mark. Gibson, a guard, was the main reason. He averaged nearly 15 points a game, and had the best single game freshman performance by recording 27 points and 10 rebounds against Oklahoma State.
Coach of the year: Billy Gillispie,
Tennessee A&M
The job Gillispie did with the Aggies in his first year is remarkable. He took a team that went 0-16 in league play a year ago and turned it into an NIT team. Basketball has never been popular in College Station, Texas, but Reed Arena drew several sell out crowds this season. Gillispie may also be the national coach of the year.
When the Jayhawks needed a bucket, coach Bill Self gave the ball to Langford. His driving ability is difficult to stop, and he takes his game to a higher level
Sixth man of the years
Johnnie Gilbert, Oklahoma
when the game is on the line
The senior forward plays only 17 minutes a game, but he always seems to give the Sooners a spark. At 6-foot-8, 228 pounds, he gives Oklahoma a solid defender.
Clutch performer of the year:
Keith Langford, Kansas
Defensive player of the year: Kevin Bookout, Oklahoma A 259-pound senior forward, Bookout, doesn't fear fouls. With the confidence to take risks on
defense. Bookout has become a legitimate stopper.
Most surprising player of the year: Ronald Ross, Texas Tech
It was close, but Ross edged out Kansas junior forward Christian Moody. They were both recruited as walk-ons, but Ross is the leader for a Texas Tech team that defeated Kansas.
Most disappointing player of the year: J.R. Giddens, Kansas and P.J. Tucker, Texas
These players split the award for very different reasons. Giddens went into a shooting slump and failed to score against Oklahoma State last week. Tucker was ruled academically ineligible and sat out most of the conference season.
Player with best hairi leermiah Massev, Kansas State
Massey wins more by default than anything else.
What a surprise. Dub makes it on the Big 12's first team after winning player of the year. He was a unanimous selection.
2 John Lucas, Oklahoma State
Here's another unanimous first teamer. The senior guard led the Cowboys in assists, with just more than five a game, and also averaged 18 points a contest. He is quick and has good vision. He also shoots lights out.
1. Wayne Simien, Kansas
3. Joey Graham, Oklahoma State
AP BIG 12 BASKETBALL HONOR ROLL
First Team:
The last unanimous choice by the Kansan committee. The senior forward averaged nearly 18 points a game and made more than half his three-point attempts. He was also the Big 12's best free-throw shooter. 4 Antine Wright, Texas A&M
Wright finally showed the potential, which made him a blue chip high school recruit. He scored more than 17 points a game. His best game came at Colorado, where he scored 52 points and led Texas A&M to its first conference road win.
5. Aaron Miles, Kansas

HONDRABLE MENTION;
Jared Homan, Iowa State; Jarris Jackson, Texas Tech;
Richard Roby, Colorado; Joe McCray, Nebraska; Ivan
McFarlin, Oklahoma State; Joseph Jones, Texas A&M;
Terrell Everett, Oklahoma; Acie Law, Texas A&M.
Miles doesn't have the flashiest stats, other than his league leading seven assists per game, but he brings unmatched leadership to the court. He has been instrumental in several victories this season and made the key play in a victory against Oklahoma State.
Second Team:
1. Jeremiah Massey, Kansas State
The senior forward was constantly double-teamed, but he always managed to fight through it. He averaged 18 points and seven rebounds a contest. In a game against Colorado, he scored 28 points and pulled down 19 rebounds.
2 Tai Frey Oklahoma
The newcomer of the year finds himself on our second team, despite receiving a vote for first team honors.
3. Curtis Stinson. Iowa State
2. Taj Gray, Oklahoma
The sophomore guard had a breakout season. By averaging more than 17 points and three assists; he led the Cyclones to a possible tournament berth.
4. Keith Lanford, Kansas
3. Curtis Stinson, Iowa State
Easily the best second half player in the conference. Unfortunately, the senior guard didn't always tear it up in the first period. He averaged 15 points a game. F. Paulson Trauma Tech
Ross finished the year as the conference's leader in steals. He also finished eighth in scoring. He averaged 17 points and 5
. Ronald Ross, Texas Tech
rebounds per game. The senior guard was Tech's best player.
Third Team:
1. Daniel Gibson, Texas
Our freshman of the year found his way onto one of our grown-up teams as well.
2. Aaron Bruce, Bavlor
He finished league play as the second-best scorer. He averaged nearly 19 points a game. His 33-point effort against Oklahoma State was the highest single-game mark of the season.
3. Jarrius Jackson, Texas Tech
By averaging more than 14 points a game the sophomore guard became a valuable asset. He came through for the Red Raiders in several games, and his 32-point game at Oklahoma earned him third team honors.
4. Acie Law, Texas A&M
Law's appearance on our third team is proof that long shots can come home. Law scored more than 20 points a few times this season, but his passing got the most attention. He finished behind only Miles in the assist column, and dished out a conference-high 14 assists against Missouri.
5. Terrell Everett, Oklahoma
CBSSportsline.com ranks the freshman as the third-best center in the country. Jared Homan, Iowa State
The junior guard finished the season second to Miles in assists, in conference. The Sooners aren't known for scoring, but Everett got the ball to his teammates.
Honorable Mention:
Joseph Jones, Texas A&M
The senior helped Iowa State to a seven game winning streak. Linas Kleiza, Missouri
Has the talent to be on one of
above teams, but was benched for part of the season because of disciplinary reasons. Jason Klotz, Texas
The senior forward was a solid low post presence. Richard Roby, Colorado
Averaged more than 17 points a game, and led team to four conference victories.
Kevin Bookout. Oklahoma
Our defensive player of the year couldn't quite make it on one of our top three teams.
Will Blalock, Iowa State
The sophomore is a solid defender who can also pass
Ivan McFarlin,
Oklahoma State
The guard averaged more than 12 points a game.

The only player honored three times by the Kansan. 2, Aaron Bruce, Baylor

Langford's ankle not broken
CONLIT
2
KANSAS
Rvlan Howe/KANSAN
Senior guard Keith Langford defends Missouri senior guard Jason Conley during the opening minutes of the game Sunday. Langford severely sprained his left ankle and left the game after playing only three minutes. He is questionable to play in the Big 12 Tournament on Friday.
Senior's rehabilitation will determine status for weekend's Big 12 Tournament
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
Exhale, Kansas fans. Keith Langford's ankle is not broken.
Whether he will play in the Big 12 Tournament this weekend, though, is still questionable.
end, though, is still within Kansas coach Bill Self confirmed yesterday that the ankle was not cracked or fractured. Langford's progress after going through rehabilitation this week will determine his status for this weekend.
"It is a severe sprain that will allow him, hopefully, to rehab this week," Self said. "We'll evaluate this weekend whether he can play. He thinks he can, and we hope that he can, but that remains to be seen. He is not lost for the season, which the medical staff originally thought could be the case."
Langford originally hurt his left ankle in practice March 3 and had not worked out with the team before playing Missouri. He re-injured the ankle in the opening minutes of
Saturday's 72-68 loss at Missouri. After driving the lane for a lay-up and drawing the foul, he fell on the foot of Missouri's Brian Dailey. He did not return for the rest of the game.
"There is a chance that he could play this weekend, but there is also a great chance that we will hold him out, too, because we want him to be 100 percent next week," Self said. "If he can get to the point where he is 80 or 90 percent than we will play him. If not, then we will definitely hold him out."
Self said Langford would be on crutches for the rest of the week. He said he didn't know whether he would play Langford this weekend or allow him more time to get ready for the NCAA Tournament.
If that is the case, Self said senior guard Mike Lee would start in place of Langford. Lee replaced J.R. Giddens in the starting lineup on Sunday, but Self said Giddens would start whether Langford played.
Giddens scored 13 points
against the Tigers while Lee went scoreless in his 24 minutes.
Self also said junior guard Jeff Hawkins would have to step up in Langford's absence. Hawkins' eight points and defensive intensity helped the Jayhawks stay in Sunday's game. Self said.
Self was forced to put in some players who haven't seen a lot of minutes recently. Freshman guard Russell Robinson played 11 minutes on Sunday, and freshman forward Alex Galindo played 12 minutes. In Kansas' last eight games, Robinson has played a combined 12 minutes, while Galindo has played 32.
"We picked a bad time, when Keith went out, to have guys not used to playing," Self said. "We just need guys to step up and be players like they are. We are capable of that. I don't really know where we will turn to yet. Keith is such a big part of what we do, but I know we won't change much."

Top seed still goal
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
The Jayhawks' loss to the Missouri Tigers cost them the outright Big 12 Conference title. Instead, they share the title with the Oklahoma Sooners. Because the Sooners defeated them on Feb. 21 in the head-to-head matchup, the Sooners will receive a No. 1 seed in the conference tournament.
play the winner of the Kansas State and Texas A&M game at 6 p.m. on Friday at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
As the No. 2 seed, Kansas will still receive a first-round bye, meaning they don't have to play on Thursday. Kansas will
If they win that game, the Jayhawks will most likely have to beat the No. 3-seeded Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday to advance to Sunday's championship game.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that would have to be the scenario if the Jayhawks wanted to be considered for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas still has a chance for a top seed after three other top 10 teams, Illinois, Kentucky and Duke,
lost Sunday. A large portion of NCAA seeding will be based on this weekend's conference tournaments.
Self said the Jayhawks had a lot of work to do and would need more upsets like the ones on Sunday to gain a No.1 seed.
"It means a lot for me and for our players too, but the reality of that is we are on the outside looking in big time. We would probably have to win our tournament to have a shot at that," he said. "It is a goal, but it can't be our immediate goal."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Tournament team's postseason
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The women's basketball team's chances for running the table in the Big 12 Tournament are probably slim. If it can't, the season will probably not last past the weekend.
While five other league teams will probably make the NCAA Tournament, Kansas will not, barring a tournament title. So what is there to play for?
"This is our postseason," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
And the postseason starts today, with a noon tip-off against No. 9 seed Missouri, 10-17 (4-12 Big 12). Even though the winner of the game will potentially face Baylor, the regular season Big 12 champion, the players still see prestige in the tournament coming from playing, and winning a game or two.
"We're playing like this is our NCAA Tournament," junior guard Erica Hallman said. "We're going to go out hard, try to get some wins and go as far as we can."
With the brief "season" just getting under way, Kansas will have quite a bit of work ahead.
All they did this year was sweep the Missouri Tigers, including a 60-42 victory on Feb. 5 in Columbia, Mo. The second contest with Missouri featured an improved performance by Kansas, 12-15 (5-11 Big
"It's really about doing what we did all year." Henrickson said.

The Kansas men's basketball team left Mizzou Arena Sunday afternoon with more unanswered questions about the state of this team than at any point this season.
son! I don't care that Sunday's game was in Columbia, Mo., and it was a "rivalry" game. Kansas never should have lost that game. Missouri is an underachieving, less talented team than Kansas. The Missouri Tigers are a bad team, and there is no excuse for losing that type of game as the Jayhawks prepare to make runs in the Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments.

Don't tell me that Keith Langford's absence was the reason they lost. Yes, Langford's ankle injury was a factor, but Kansas had a chance late in the game to take the lead and didn't. I don't want to hear about Missouri going eight-for-10 from behind the arc in the first half. They missed all eight of their three-point attempts in the second half.

Fraternity plans to appeal
BY ERIC SORRENTINO
esrentino@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A day after his fraternity was expelled from campus, Matt Moreno, president of Phi Kappa Theta, said the punishment was too severe.
The Interfraternity Council charged Phi Kappa Theta, 1111 W.11th St., with 24 charges for recruitment and alcohol policy violations. Lawrence police cited nine people alcohol violations and confiscated more than $500 in cash, signs that advertised the party and 16 kegs.
"To tell you the truth, we're shocked," Moreno, Wichita sophomore, said. "Basically, we feel it was unprecedented. It
almost seemed they were making an example out of us. It feels like we were victims of the circumstance."
Moreno said he wanted to appeal by Friday. The KU charter of Phi Kappa Theta was the fraternity's oldest operating chapter in the nation. It has been at the University of Kansas since 1910.
The chapter has already taken actions to improve accountability within the fraternity, Moreno said. They have created a proactive outline for members to follow.
Within the outline are steps the fraternity members can take to hold themselves accountable after the incident.
Moreno said the 35 members of
the fraternity would be required to listen to a guest speaker talk about the dangers and risks of alcohol tomorrow night. Members will be required to participate in a park cleanup activity at South Park this weekend as well.
This is not the first time a proactive list has been scheduled for the fraternity.
Fraternity members abided by a 10-point plan of corrective measures in 1998, which followed hazing allegations, Kevin Lampe, Phi Kappa Theta national secretary, said.
Phi Kappa Theta is the first greek organization the IFC has ever expelled.
Scott Shorten, IFC president, said he could not compare a previous situation to the magnitude
The IFC judicial board decides whether a chapter should be expelled on a case by case basis. Shorten said the Phi Kappa Theta decision was made because of the chapter's disregard for IFC rules.
of the Phi Kappa Theta incident.
"I would say their lack of effort to conform to our laws and bylaws endangered those of their fraternity and the guests of their fraternity." Shorten said.
Though the IFC no longer recognizes Phi Kappa Theta as an active fraternity, Moreno said his fraternity would plan to remain active as a Greek organization.

City commission to amend smoking ban

Bar and restaurant patrons may soon be allowed to take their beer with them when they step outside to light up a cigarette.
Jerry Neverve, owner of the Red Lyon Tavern, speaks with a Channel 6 News reporter about the smoking ban during a break at the Lawrence City Commission meeting last night in Lawrence City Hall. Several topics about the ban, which was put into effect on July first of last year, were brought up at the meeting, such as the definition of an enclosed area and the level of occupation in an outside dining area.
The city commission last night directed staff to draft two ordinances that would amend the city's smoking ban. One draft would outline changes to the city's policy on sidewalk dining licenses. The other would make an exception to the smoking ban for a ventilated smoking room at Hallmark Cards. 101 McDonald Drive.
Business owners in downtown Lawrence currently have to make 70 percent of their revenue from food sales to get a license that allows customers to eat and drink on the city's sidewalk.
The proposed amendment would allow businesses, which were established before the smoking ordinance took effect, to be exempt from the food sales requirement.
More than 30 businesses in downtown cannot currently obtain the license because they
do not meet the 70 percent requirement.
Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., cannot allow customers to smoke with their drinks in front of his business because not enough of his revenue comes from food sales. If the city amends the requirement Neverve said he would apply for
a license.
Rusty Nelsen, Omaha, Neb., senior, said he favored the amendment. Nelson, an employee at Quinton's Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., said the requirement was not fair to older bars that do not make as much money from food sales.

Nursing school denies record numbers

Despite the nursing shortage across the country, the KU School of Nursing continues to turn away record numbers of applicants. The school received 498 applications this year, but had only 120 available spots.
Limited resources and a tight state-funded budget are two reasons for the high number of rejections, Rita Clifford, associate dean of student affairs, said.
A rapidly aging baby-boom population is a main reason for the nursing shortage.
seven more applications than last year, but rising numbers continue to worry the school's administration because it cannot accommodate more students.
"We never like to turn away anyone who we think would be a good nurse," Clifford said. She said she worried about the students who didn't make it in.
Clifford said school officials would like to admit more applicants, but the available spots are restricted by a limited number of faculty members. The school prefers a one to 10 ratio for professors and undergraduate students. Some of the faculty members on staff teach undergraduate
Because applicants outnumber vacancies, administrators encourage applicants to apply to several nursing schools in addition to the University of Kansas.

KU fans file complaint against police chief after incident

KANSAN STUDIO WRITER
The rivalry between University of Kansas and University of Missouri fans escalated on Sunday when four KU fans got into an altercation with an MU fan over a sign.
Chris Kaufman, Denver senior, filed a complaint against University of Missouri police chief Jack Watring yesterday.
Included in Kaufman's complaint was an allegation that Watring assaulted him after he refused to relinquish a sign.
The 3-foot-by-6-foot sign said that Mizzou Arena was the Allen Fieldhouse of the East.
The University of Missouri police department referred calls yesterday to the MU news bureau. Christian Basi, assistant director of the MU news bureau, said that the police department was investigating the allegations and that Watring
According to Kaufman's description of events, an usher gave him and three others permission to hang the sign over a railing.
would not be suspended during the investigation.
Kaufman and his friends were sitting two rows away from the railing, according to the complaint. Christian Green, 2003 KU alumnus; Richard Littrell, Lee's Summit, Mo., junior and Andrew Wymore, 2004 alumnus, were with Kaufman.
Fifteen minutes after the students hung the sign, a man sat down in his seat behind it, Kaufman wrote in the complaint. Another man on the walkway below him called up and asked the man sitting behind the railing if he was going to allow the to sign hang in front of him.
After learning what the sign read, the man attempted to take it down, according to the complaint.
The man and Kaufman had a disagreement about the sign, according to Kaufman's complaint. When Kaufman went to grab the sign from the man, he grabbed Kaufman by the collar of his shirt and drew him towards him, Kaufman wrote.
It was then that the man identified himself as the University of Missouri chief of police, Kaufman wrote in the complaint.
Littrell wrote in a separate complaint that he intervened and took the sign to roll it up as a uniformed officer approached the group.
Maj. Doug Schwandt escorted the group to the concourse, according to Littrell's complaint.
The four KU fans asked questions of the police, according to Kaufman's complaint, but were responded to vaguely and with threats of being arrested or thrown out of the game.

Langford's ankle not broken

Senior guard Keith Langford defends Missouri senior guard Jason Conley during the opening minutes of the game Sunday. Langford severely sprained his left ankle and left the game after playing only three minutes. He is questionable to play in the Big 12 Tournament on Friday.
Senior's rehabilitation will determine status for weekend's Big 12 Tournament
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
Exhale, Kansas fans. Keith Langford's ankle is not broken.
Whether he will play in the Big 12 Tournament this weekend, though, is still questionable.
Kansas coach Bill Self confirmed yesterday that the ankle was not cracked or fractured. Langford's progress after going through rehabilitation this week will determine his status for this weekend.
"It is a severe sprain that will allow him, hopefully, to rehab this week," Self said. "We'll evaluate this weekend whether he can play. He thinks he can, and we hope that he can, but that remains to be seen. He is not lost for the season, which the medical staff originally thought could be the case."
Langford originally hurt his left ankle in practice March 3 and had not worked out with the team before playing Missouri. He re-injured the ankle in the opening minutes of
Saturday's 72-68 loss at Missouri. After driving the lane for a lay-up and drawing the foul, he fell on the foot of Missouri's Brian Dailey. He did not return for the rest of the game.
game
Self said Langford would be on crutches for the rest of the week. He said he didn't know whether he would play Langford this weekend or allow him more time to get ready for the NCAA Tournament.
"There is a chance that he could play this weekend, but there is also a great chance that we will hold him out, too, because we want him to be 100 percent next week," Self said. "If he can get to the point where he is 80 or 90 percent than we will play him. If not, then we will definitely hold him out."
If that is the case, Self said senior guard Mike Lee would start in place of Langford. Lee replaced J.R. Giddens in the starting lineup on Sunday, but Self said Giddens would start whether Langford played.
Giddens scored 13 points
against the Tigers while Lee went scoreless in his 24 minutes.
Self also said junior guard Jeff Hawkins would have to step up in Langlord's absence. Hawkins' eight points and defensive intensity helped the Jayhawks stay in Sunday's game, Self said.
Self was forced to put in some players who haven't seen a lot of minutes recently. Freshman guard Russell Robinson played 11 minutes on Sunday, and freshman forward Alex Galindo played 12 minutes. In Kansas' last eight games, Robinson has played a combined 12 minutes, while Galindo has played 32.
"We picked a bad time, when Keith went out, to have guys not used to playing," Self said. "We just need guys to step up and be players like they are. We are capable of that. I don't really know where we will turn to yet. Keith is such a big part of what we do, but I know we won't change much."

Top seed still goal
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN. SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
'The Jayhawks' loss to the Missouri Tigers cost them the outright Big 12 Conference title. Instead, they share the title with the Oklahoma Sooners. Because the Sooners defeated them on Feb. 21 in the head-to-head matchup, the Sooners will receive a No. 1 seed in the conference tournament.
As the No. 2 seed, Kansas will still receive a first-round bye, meaning they don't have to play on Thursday. Kansas will
play the winner of the Kansas State and Texas A&M game at 6 p.m. on Friday at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.
If they win that game, the Jayhawks will most likely have to beat the No. 3-seeded Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday to advance to Sunday's championship game.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that would have to be the scenario if the Jayhawks wanted to be considered for a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas still has a chance for a top seed after three other top 10 teams, Illinois, Kentucky and Duke,
lost Sunday. A large portion of NCAA seeding will be based on this weekend's conference tournaments.
Self said the Jayhawks had a lot of work to do and would need more upsets like the ones on Sunday to gain a No.1 seed.
"It means a lot for me and for our players too, but the reality of that is we are on the outside looking in. big time. We would probably have to win our tournament to have a shot at that," he said. "It is a goal, but it can't be our immediate goal."

Tournament team's postseason

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The women's basketball team's chances for running the table in the Big 12 Tournament are probably slim. If it can't, the season will probably not last past the weekend.
While five other league teams will probably make the NCAA Tournament, Kansas will not, barring a tournament title. So what is there to play for?
"This is our postseason," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
And the postseason starts today, with a noon tip-off against No. 9 seed Missouri, 10-17 (4-12 Big 12). Even though the winner of the game will potentially face Baylor, the regular season Big 12 champion, the players still see prestige in the tournament coming from playing, and winning a game or two.
"We're playing like this is our NCAA Tournament," junior guard Erica Hallman said. "We're going to go out hard, try to get some wins and go as far as we can."
With the brief "season" just getting under way, Kansas will have quite a bit of work ahead.
All they did this year was sweep the Missouri Tigers, including a 60-42 victory on Feb. 5 in Columbia, Mo. The second contest with Missouri featured an improved performance by Kansas, 12-15 (5-11 Big
"It's really about doing what we did all year." Henrickson said.

Fraternity plans to appeal

A day after his fraternity was expelled from campus, Matt Moreno, president of Phi Kappa Theta, said the punishment was too severe.
The Interfraternity Council charged Phi Kappa Theta, 1111 W. 11th St., with 24 charges for recruitment and alcohol policy violations. Lawrence police cited nine people alcohol violations and confiscated more than $500 in cash, signs that advertised the party and 16 kegs.

Building enters renaissance
Greg Thomas, design chairman, and Jon Havener, area coordinator for metalsmithing and jewelry, display some outdated equipment that will be replaced. The Art and Design Building will undergo renovations and technology improvements through next summer.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A 35-year-old kiln sits in a first floor room in the Art and Design building.
Its roof is crumbling and the handle comes off the lid when a user opens it.
In an adjacent room a new kiln, worth about $1,400, waits to take its place.
This is just one of dozens of improvements to the Art and Design Building since winter break.
Funding for these improvements came from a combination of a $500,000 Hallmark grant, student differential tuition and private sector donations, Greg Thomas, design chairman, said.
So far the improvements have cost about $125,000, Thomas said.
Improvements are being made in order to keep up with similar universities, Elissa Armstrong, associate professor of ceramics, said.
"These facilities are something other schools will be envious of." Matt Ostmeyer, Stilwell senior, said. "Students get a lot more motivated if they have good facilities."
During winter break two computer labs with 18 Apple computers were added.
"The kids came back, we opened the door and then there were all of these new G5s." Thomas said.
These computers are used for audiovisual editing and designing. The network speed was also increased by 10 times.

in the programs.
Heinen wouldn't have bought his own computer during his sophomore year if the current labs existed.
The new labs cost about $75,000 to install, Patrick Emerson, area coordinator, said.
A third lab will be built this summer on the third floor of the art and design building similar to the ones existing now. These labs are available to all students.
Not everything coming in is new. This summer, a clamshell press from the '40s is expected to be installed into KU Printing Services, which was scaled back earlier this semester.
The press will be used by students who are designing typefaces.
Two into one
In the fall, industrial design students will have a new prototyping room and studio space.
This room is expected to have five movable PC workstations and movable tables that reconfigure quickly.
The room was created by removing a wall to make one large room.
"This isn't a new way to work in the professional world," Lance Rake, area coordinator of industrial design, said. "This is, maybe, a new way for our students to work."
The current industrial prototyping room has fixed stationary tables.
"This is the way we used to work," Thomas said. "Over there is the way we should be working."
The room will give students taking industrial design 1,2 and 3 an oncampus studio environment, something only level 4 students had.
IMPROVEMENTS
Renovations continue through this summer
in previous semester students who took their work home had to worry about breaking it during transportation, Ostmeyer, an industrial design student, said.
"Another good thing is that students from all levels will be there feeding off of each other," he said.
- Gragg Paints donated paint for walls
- Ace Hardware plans to donate $20,000 worth of tools such as hammers and drill bits for students.
Facilities Operations will give an estimate this summer for a ceramics courtyard on the east side of building. This will allow students to make ceramics outside.

Precious gems
Metalsmithing and jewelry will be adding a gemology class next fall because of a new computer that has the capability to take 2-D CAD drawings and render them in 3-D. Gemology is the study of the make-up of natural gemstone formation.
This will help metalmithing and jewelry students to bolster their portfolios, said Jon Havener, area coordinator for metalmithing and jewelry.
"We're not going to make a certified gemologist here," Havener said. "But we want them to understand the process."
Sitting on a shelf in a metal jewelry room there are two anodizing machines, which aid in the process of color-coating metal.
The one on left is small and new. The other is large, almost 50 years old and starting to rust out.
The new machine makes better, more consistent coatings, Lin Stanionis, professor of jewelry design and metalsmithing, said.
One aspect in particular sets the old machine apart from the new one.

For Raymundo Rojas, going into law wasn't about the money. The third-year law student from El Paso, Texas, devotes his free time to a cause that is close to his heart — immigration.
Although some of his family were in parts of North America even before it was the United States, Rojas has shaped his life around helping those just arriving here.
"I was brought up in a Christian family and the second greatest commandment was to love your neighbor as yourself," he said. "It's been with me for all my life — you help people and you need to love your neighbor."
He and other students from the University of Kansas School of Law have been taking what they have learned in the classroom and in life and using it to help educate the migrant community in

Lawrence.
Together the group formed Apoyo Trabajador de Lawrence, or Migrant Workers Solidarity of Lawrence.
Rojas said the group serves as an outreach program trying to inform immigrants in Lawrence about their rights, even if they are undocumented.
It tries to let people know that they are not alone and shouldn't feel isolated because of their status.
The group goes to places where immigrant workers gather and talks to them about rights and services available to
"People get taken advantage of because they are afraid of being deported," said Leo Prieto, a second-year law student from Garden City who is a member of the Migrant Workers Solidarity of Lawrence. "They are willing to stick with a job even if they are being exploited because they need to work for their families."
The group focuses on helping educate immigrants about exploitation in the workplace.

Teodoro Garcia of Garcia, Solorio L.L.C. will focus on deportation and removal laws. Alejandro Solorio of the same firm, will speak to people about workplace rights. Marin de Stavanov will speak about family immigration laws.
Tomorrow night at 7, the Migrant Workers Solidarity of Lawrence and the Coordinator of Immigrant Advocacy of Coalition of Kansas have invited three immigration lawyers from the state to hold an open forum at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 1229 Vermont St. The forum will offer Lawrence residents free legal assistance.

She said she was glad that University law students were doing this.
Stavanov L.L.C. is a lawyer who specializes in family immigration law. Her firm is located in Lawrence.
"Its so important because that's what Lawrence is about — you have people from all over the world walking the street," she said. "It's an international community and to protect the people coming here, you need to educate the community. That's the only way you can protect them."
Rojas said he met a man a few months ago who was excited about the program and offered to do Rojas a favor. Rojas' response was simple.
By putting together the program Rojas wants people to be more comfortable with their rights.
The organization hopes to permanently set up a center in Lawrence where people will be able to go and get information about available services. They also hope to have classes in the school that will deal with immigration issues.

The KU Public Safety Office arrested a 29-year-old KU student and charged her with aggravated battery Monday night.
KU student charged with aggravated battery
According to Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office, the suspect's roommate, a 25-year-old KU student, said that she and the suspect had an argument in their apartment at Jayhawker Towers, and that during the argument, the suspect burned her with hot water.
The suspect, however, said that it was an accident that the water burned the roommate, according to Bailey.
The suspect was arrested and booked into Douglas County jail at 10:05 p.m. Monday, according to jail records.
The extent of the injuries is unknown but the 25-year-old was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital later that night, Bailey said.
Records also indicate that as of yesterday, the suspect was still in custody.

Board refuses to cancel hearings on evolution
TOPEKA — The State Board of Education refused yesterday to cancel public hearings scheduled to hear testimony about evolution, even though some members complained those hearings will be a "charade" to justify rewriting state science standards.
Conservatives hold six of 10 board seats, and they voted as a block to reject the proposal to cancel the hearings.
The four other board members consider the hearings to be rigged and believe the majority already plans to rewrite the science standards to expose students to more criticism of evolution a goal of proponents of creationism and intelligent design.
"You have the six votes — just use them and move forward," dissenting
board member Sue Gamble, a Shawnee Republican, told the conservatives. "I resent you using my tax dollars for this charade."
The hearings, before a subcommittee of three board members, are tentatively scheduled for May 5 to 7 and 12 to 14. The subcommittee plans to review evidence supporting and opposing evolution, with only scientists testifying.

Clinton to have surgery to rid fluid, scar tissue
"I feel fine," Clinton said yesterday in Washington.
NEW YORK - Six months after undergoing heart bypass surgery, former President Clinton will return to the hospital this week to have a rare buildup of fluid and scar tissue removed from his chest.
During the procedure, known as a decortication, doctors will remove scar tissue that is pressing down on his left lung.
Doctors at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center said the surgery was low-risk
The former president said doctors discovered the condition during a recent X-ray, and he called the surgery a "routine sort of deal."

Ash spews after quake at Mount St. Helens
MOUNT ST. HELENS, Wash. — Mount St. Helens released a plume of ash yesterday, its most significant emission in months but one that seismologists did not believe heralded any major eruption.
The ash explosion happened about an hour after a 2.0-magnitude quake rumbled on the east side of the mountain, said Bill Steele, coordinator of the Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network. He did not believe the explosion had increased the risk of a significant eruption.

Having a carillon on the KU campus is unique because there aren't more than 200 carillons in the world. Morrissey and Temple both agreed that the uniqueness of the instrument inspired their desire to play it.
"I like how great the sound is." Morrissey said. "The quality is not something you have with any other instrument."
Many people also don't know that there is an actual instrument inside of the campanile, and most students believe the bells and music are all mechanical, Morrissey said.
She also said that when she and Temple have talked about playing the carillon, students have been intrigued. They've asked questions with much interest and are usually surprised that there's not more publicity on it, she said.
"The carillon is not only important because it's a memorial." Morrissey said, "but because it's part of our school's history and a part of our college experience. It sounds every 15 minutes."

Mexican culture hits the big screen

The Mexican Cinema Club's purpose is simple — to showcase cultural expression from Mexico in the form of film.
Antonio Moreno, Chiapas Mexico, graduate teaching assistant, started the club more than two years ago.
"Usually, the people who
attend are students in the Spanish department, Spanish professors, as well as people who are interested in Mexican culture," Moreno said.
Club members watch films in Spanish subtitles from Moreno's personal collection, which he has built from his trips back to Mexico.
Recently, members have watched "Japon," "Nicotina" and "De la Calle."
"The films discuss the aspects of the 'new Mexico,' including the violence, drugs, changes in family life and the ecological problems Mexico deals with," Moreno said.
Isabel Guilleumas, Salmanca, Spain, GTA, said she attended the club's meetings because it was a way to see films that were not normally shown in the United States.
"The movies really show the current Mexican culture, which I like to know about," she said.
She said she liked the atten

change and an attraction to more students.
He said most of the films the club showed were dramas and comedies would be a welcome
"I think students will relate to the comedies better," he said.
About 20 to 30 people come to the meetings each week. The club is open to everyone and normally meets at 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays at room 4057 in Wescoe Hall.

Smoking

If the commission approves an amendment to allow an employee smoking break room at Hallmark, Rick Renfro said he hoped his bar would also be allowed to create such a room for customers.
Retro said.
Business owners said that even though the commission did not approve the amendments right away they were satisfied that things were progressing.
For customers Renrof said his business. Johnny's Tavern, 401 2nd St., had three separate rooms with different ventilation systems. He said air was exhausted outside the rooms by negative air pressure, the same way as the employee break room at Hallmark.
"Customers should be allowed to go into a room and smoke if it's ventilated." Renfro said.
"The employees they're trying to protect are all smokers," Renfro said.
"This is a step forward." Neverve said. "There are always concerns with the ordinance but we're trying to make efforts to comply and still maintain business."
Renfro said most employees at his business wouldn't care about a smoking room.
Nelsen, a non-smoker, said having a smoking room in a bar would bother him. But a smoking room could attract more people to bars and improve business, he said.

least get a refund," Wymore said.
While outside with Schwandt, Wymore said he was told that he was ejected for trespassing because his ticket had been revoked. Wymore said Schwandt failed to offer any further explanation.
"After thinking about my next move, I told him that since my ticket was was defective I was going to buy a new one or at
least get a refund," Wymore said.
He said he didn't get a foot into the door of the box office before he was arrested.
Kaufman and Green were later told by Schwandt that Wymore was charged with criminal trespassing and was being held at Boone County Jail, according to Kaufman's complaint.
They returned to the arena to watch the first half of the game before going to bail their friend out of jail. Kaufman's complaint said.
A witness of the altercation also filed a complaint.
Barry Lewis, father of a University of Missouri student,
said he was afraid Kaufman was going to fall over a nearby railing during the altercation. That was when he got up to intervene.
When he got there, the head of security had already arrived. Lewis said that rather than mediate the situation, the police went after the students with threats of being arrested and kicked out.
"I thought they were going to take care of the old man because he was creating the problem, but they never asked any questions," Lewis said.
Lewis said the KU students were respectful, never spoke out of turn and complied with
Watring's wishes for them to take the sign down.
"My initial complaint was with the policeman who never attempted to get all of the information," Lewis said. "Until I found out it was the police chief who assaulted them."
Lewis is in the process of writing a letter to the vice chancellor to be sent today.
"As a tuition-paying parent, I wanted to let them know I wasn't at all pleased and I had lost all confidence in the campus police department," he said.

Nursing

Danielle Rose, Olathe sophomore, didn't let the shortage discourage her hopes of becoming a nurse, either. She was recently accepted into the KU School of Nursing and will begin in the fall semester. She didn't apply to other universities because she didn't meet some of their prerequisite requirements.
"As much as the shortage sucks now, in the long run you're guaranteed a job as soon as your graduate," she said.
The Kansas State Nursing Association wants the the Kansas Board of Regents to provide more money for nursing schools.
Public universities with nursing schools that are funded by the Regents are the University,
Emporia State University, Pittsburg State University, Wichita State University and Fort Hays State University. The Washburn University nursing school is private, so it is only partly funded. Kansas State University does not have a nursing school.
The Kansas House of Representatives recommended program expansions in all schools earlier this week. Expansions would increase enrollment capacity by 250 for each fully-funded school.
The recommendation will be prepared in the House Appropriation Committee Report on higher education, Terri Roberts, executive director of the Kansas State Nurses Association, said.
For three consecutive years, the nursing association has presented work force shortages to the Legislature, Roberts said.
Roberts urged the Regents to use a "dedicated funding stream" when allocating money to university programs. She recommended that the Regents provide more money to programs based on need, rather than equally distributing the funds among all programs.
"Someone at some time has to say, 'Hey, you know what? We need to put more money into nursing.'" Roberts said.
But while the House debates expanding the nursing programs in higher education, the KU School of Nursing is left with a funding shortage. Clifford said the school has given thought to differential tuition, but has yet to implement this idea.

Bush's reasons for Iraq war all excuses
There are noble reasons that are given for the United States being in Iraq, but a ridiculous amount of imagination is required to actually believe them. The Bush Administration has knowingly based the war on three false pillars: one, that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction; two, that they are linked with terrorists groups such as Al Qaeda; and three, that we are bringing its people freedom and democracy.
Where are the weapons of mass destruction? United Nations weapon inspectors found no credible evidence of them. Defectors testified that the remaining arsenal was effectively destroyed in the 1990s. The chemical weapons that Iraq produced before the first Gulf War had a shelf life of less than three years. Documents proving that Iraq had attempted to purchase uranium were nothing but forgeries. Mobile chemical labs were the most credible threat of weapons of mass destruction Colin Powell could present — a threat so intangible that no one has actually seen one, forcing Powell to use computer simulations instead of photographic evidence. Perhaps the most telling indication that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction is that after a year of occupation, we have found nothing.
How about the terrorists? Saddam Hussein was a megalomaniacal dictator, and by his very nature, he grubbed for any and all power. He did not tolerate grass roots movements of any kind, religious or secular, because any such movement constituted a threat to him. He expressed his contempt for Osama Bin Laden, and although Hussein was pleased by the Sept. 11 attacks, not a single hijacker was from Iraq. No, instead of combating terrorism, the Iraqi invasion has acted as a magnet for terrorists: It is the latest poster child for martyrdom.
And how does one instill democracy, where historically, none has ever existed? It can't come from the end of a gun. The United States does not want a democracy in Iraq. Any democracy in that country would certainly not be pro-American or pro-Iraeli. What if the good people of Iraq democratically decide that the United States may not purchase its oil? No, a democracy in Iraq simply wouldn't do.
The best explanation for the war in Iraq is that we want to install a free market economy; there are fortunes to be made, both in rebuilding and in the oil industry. Now, the flow of oil and currency can be virtually assured by the establishment of a permanent military base there.
History supports this explanation. In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup that overthrew the democratically elected prime minister of Iran, Mohammad Mossadegh. He had no weapons of mass destruction. He detested autocracy and loved freedom. He tolerated no ties with terrorist groups. But Mossadegh would not let the oil flow, so we overthrew him, installing in his place the dictator Reza Shah, a man who brutalized his own people and allowed radical Islam to flourish. Our intense meddling with Iran's politics polarized whole sections of the population, so those radical Islamic groups became more and more anti-American. Who could blame them? We put their George Washington under house arrest, toppled their democracy and ended their civil liberties, so we could exploit their natural resources. Why wouldn't they hate us? It is not unreasonable to draw connections linking the CIA's exploits of the 1950s to the terrorist retaliations of 2001. This begs the question: What punishment awaits our country in another 50 years for our current aggression in Iraq?
I can't pretend anymore, for behind all of Mr. Bush's impossible reasons for going to war, he is nothing more than a terrorist in his own right. Iraqi civilians and our own military personnel are being killed en masse because of his empty fabrications. Shameful, Mr. Bush. Shameful.

Bias plagues news media, but public dictates ratings
EDITORIAL BOARD
Who needs the truth when you can just have a sexed up story? KCTV 5 in Kansas City metro area wasn't about to let its broadcast be watered down by accuracy and instead chose to mislead viewers. Promotional ads for its 10 p.m. newscast on March 1 played up the arrest of a University of Kansas athlete that it chose to only describe as a "ball player." If anyone was thinking it might be a basketball player, it's worth mentioning that KCTV 5 forgot, or decided not to mention, that it was a Kansas baseball player — Scott Sharpe. Sharpe was arrested for a fight at a party.
The actual newscast was worse. It described Sharpe as Kansas' best player "statistically." Sharpe's ___
earned run average is a perfect zero, but he has only pitched 10 innings of garbage time, so it's far from accurate to describe Sharpe as Kansas' best player.
But why does the public accept news that may not be completely true? Maybe because of the manner in which our society entertains itself. All of the things people find entertaining are reflected in the news. We enjoy watching news about scandal, death and crooked politics. People take comfort in the fact that other people are worse off than they are.
The "news" segment
The public, as well as the news media, needs to be held accountable for bias in news.
The news segment went on to say that Kansas lost that afternoon's game to Southwest Missouri State a team that was in the College World Series just two years ago and a perennial baseball powerhouse without Sharpe. It failed to consider that Sharpe doesn't log meaningful time for the Jayhawks, so he was hardly missed in a game where they were heavy underdogs. But again, why let the truth get in front of a good story?
Perhaps the fault of slanted news rests on the public, not with the news networks. We are the ones that give them the ratings that allow their advertising to produce a profit. This is not information we are buying; it is infotainment. The networks advertise in a manner similar to movie
In recent years, it has become obvious that the media has been reporting news with an apparent agenda. Many say that Fox news has a conservative slant, others argue that CNN has a liberal bias that puts more of a slant on the news they report. It seems that people must consider this bias when they watch or read the news. Bernard Goldberg writes in his book, "Bias," about how the sensationalist media began as soon as the news magazines made a profit. As soon as the network executives realized the potential of news for profit, the bias began to seep in.
trailers — painting pictures of violent crimes, sex and scandals — just before breaks to keep viewers watching. These networks don't pick what goes into the news, the public does. If the public decides that an issue is not newsworthy, they stop getting their news from that source. Therefore, we as a public need to change what we want to see from news sources. This is the only way to rid the news of the biased slants.
A second solution is simpler: Americans should inform themselves. Resources to get information about the world are readily available. We, as citizens, need to take the responsibility upon ourselves to stay informed. This may mean getting our news from a source that slants in a direction that we are not used to. This helps viewers and readers look at stories from as many sides as possible. It is unfortunate that the public must subject itself to conflicting biases to understand a story. But it must be done for Americans to get the information necessary to form an opinion on the many issues. After all, viewers are the ones that need to remain objective, not the news sources.

Failure will happen in life; be realistic
Have you ever lied to anyone about doing poorly on a test? Or decided not to tell someone you never got the job you applied for? Was it because you did not want them to know you failed?
Second only to death, fear of failure is one of the most common phobias people in America have. It is not uncommon for people to take drastic measures such as suicide or create elaborate lies just to avoid the stigma of being labeled a failure.
American culture is one of hyper-competitiveness that has no tolerance for failure. The belief is that the pursuit of the American dream, the idea that through hard work and determination, one can achieve prosperity, is the way to live life, and it will give meaning and dignity to your existence.
However, when people work hard and still fail, should they loathe themselves for not living up to the goal or for buying into our society's standards?
I believe that as fallible and unique creatures, people should accept that failure is imminent and have the courage to continue living a life defined by what they feel is important and not based on society's standards.
A book entitled "Born Loser: A History of Failure in America," by Scott Sandage discusses how the concept of failure has taken on a greater personal significance since the mid-19th century.
In pre-Civil War times, failure was defined as "breaking in business" and was a term solely used in a business sense. During the Golden Age when capitalism came of age, "entrepreneurship became the primary model of American identity," Sandage writes.
At the same time Sandage also writes, "failure has become the most damning incarnation of the connection between achievement and personal identity." Therefore, people more readily associate achievements in life to a life well lived, as opposed to successful development of moral character. So when "honest working" people fail, and they do all the time, what does that say for a system that contradicts itself? As Sandage writes, "The American who fails is a prophet without honor in his own country."
Failing in a culture that worships success takes a toll on anyone. For college students, this applies even more. While education may open the door to a better career, it also fosters higher expectations that college graduates may not reach. Compounded with the added stress of starting serious endeavors without their parent's support for the first time, such as getting a job, finding a significant other or a place to live, can be crippling.
However, it does not have to be that way. According to an article in the current issue of Psychology Today entitled "Happy Hour," the gap between ambition and achievement, a major source of stress and unhappiness for young people, narrows with age. As people get older, they either achieve their goals or replace them with more reachable aims. For right now, students need to be realistic with themselves by asking what they are afraid of and what would be the worst thing that could happen.
Human beings are bound to fail and there is nothing wrong or horrible about this. It's normal. People should not buy into the shallow system of capitalistic endeavors, but instead, be honest with themselves and pursue the life they wish to live, filled with errors and all. For if there is one thing we cannot fail at, it is having the courage to be content with who we are.

Far above the Golden Valley
Student carillon players take advantage of the unique opportunity to play atop the Campanile
LAWRENCE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS INC.
Story by Courtney Grimwood Kansan correspondent Photos by Stephanie Farley

Morrissey hits the last notes of the Alma Mater, high above the busy college world below, slaps a high-five with her classmate Anna Temple, and smiles out the window that overlooks The University of Kansas. She then turns a page, studies the notes for a quick second, takes a deep breath and resumes her pounding. Morrissey now plays "Toccata for 42 Bells," and her body moves in sync with the notes — slower, then faster; harder, then softer, as Temple watches.
Erin Morrissey gracefully pounds her fists on the large keys of one of the most outstanding musical instruments on campus. While no one can actually see the Portland, Ore., senior playing the instrument, the entire campus can hear her perfectly striking each note. Morrissey is playing the KU Alma Mater on the carillon, the 53-bellied instrument housed at the top of the Campanile.
Pronounced "kare-eh-lon," the instrument has four octaves in range and is played live weekdays, during holidays, for special concerts, graduation and for some on-campus weddings. The carillon's quarterly tolls are mechanical, but the songs played at noon and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday are not. Students such as Morrissey play them live four days a week.
"I like it when nobody knows it's me playing." Morrissey said.
As Morrissey's arms and fists rhythmically thrust keys resembling rolling pins, she hits each one with a different amount of force. The weights of the bells vary, and the heavier the bell, the more force is needed. Striking one key with a certain pressure, the next key with a little more pressure, and so on is the key to keeping the campus-wide sound smooth.
"It's not a hard instrument to play, but it is
a hard one to play well," Temple, Seneca senior, said.
Temple watches her classmate play, nodding her head along with the harmony, and at once they both laugh. Morrissey missed a note, but she's immediately back on track, harmonizing the heavier bells with the lighter ones in one balanced performance to complete the piece.
"I enjoy being able to make music that has such a spirit of community behind it," Walter said.
to complete the ppt. Morrissey and Temple are two of about 10 students who play and study the carillon each semester. Elizabeth Berghout, University Carillonneur, teaches carillon classes in the School of Fine Arts, at levels 100, 300 and 621. Students of any major may study the carillon, whether they're undergraduate or graduate students.
Lara Walter, Stephenville, Texas graduate student, said Berghout sold her on the idea of studying the carillon, and she had no regrets.
Walter said her musical performances could add to the environment surrounding the carillon and the Campanile. She said the music was regularly associated with Potter Lake, napping or sledding on the hill, walking to class, and Memorial Stadium. Walter described the impact of the music she plays as "immediate" and said she liked being so close to all the traditions and superstitions related to the Campanile.
Both Walter and Temple said they hoped to continue playing the carillon in the future. Walter has visited carillons all over the country, meeting other carillonneurs and playing different carillon instruments. Each carillon is a little different, depending

Erin Morrissey, Portland senior, plays the KU alma mater on the carillon, a stationary set of chromatically tuned bells, in the Campanile every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Morrissey has played the carillon since August 2004. Each of the 53 bells for the carillon were cast in Loughborough, England, at the John Taylor Bell Foundry. The bells arrived by railroad car in Lawrence on May 1, 1951. The total weight for all of the bells is more than 36 tons. There are 30 foot pedals on the carillon. The layout of the pedals are similar to the layout of the keys on a piano. Unlike a piano the carillon is usually played by using closed fists to hit the keys. The springs are part of the connection between the pedals and the keys. The springs allow the pedals, once pushed down, to come back to their original position.

Inept ending
Despite worthy efforts by two Kansas players, Iavhawks lose to Tigers in Big 12 Tournament
BY BJ RAINS
brains@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Crystal Kemp and Erica Hallman did everything they could to win, but the rest of the lawhaws just couldn't get it done.
Kemp scored a career-high 27 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, while Hallman added 19 points and five assists in the Jayhawks' 62-57 loss to the Missouri Tigers in the opening round of the Big 12 Conference women's basketball tournament yesterday.
"I did have a career high, but we fell short of the victory," Kemp, junior forward, said. "I'd rather have two points and a win than 35 points and a loss."
Combined, Kemp and Hallman, junior guard, were 19-for-33 from the field. The rest of the Jayhawks were just 5-for-31. Only four Jayhawks scored in the loss. Senior guard Aquanita Burras scored eight points and grabbed five rebounds in 39 minutes of action.
The Jayhawks shot 51 percent from the field in the first half but managed only 25 percent in the second half.
The Jayhawks trailed by four with 13:26 to play in the game when Hallman found Kemp for a layup. Kemp was fouled on the play and hit a free throw to cut the deficit to one. On the ensuing Missouri possession, Kemp blocked a shot by Missouri junior center Christelle N'Garsanet and found Hallman, who hit a running layup and was again fouled, giving the Jayhawks the 44-43 lead.
The teams traded baskets for the next few minutes with the lead changing hands. After Hallman hit a three-point shot with just under 7 minutes remaining, the Jahawks led 55-51, their biggest lead of the second half.
When N'Garsanet hit a jumper to cut the
Jayhawk lead to two with 6:20 to go, both teams suddenly didn't score. Kansas missed its next nine shots, but didn't fall behind as the Tigers committed four straight turnovers.
Missouri junior guard LaToya Bond, who finished with 12 points, drove the lane and scored on a layup to tie the game at 55 with 2:39 to play. No one scored until Hallman was called for fouling Bond with 54 seconds remaining. Bond hit both free throws, giving the Tigers the lead.
free throws, giving Hallman drove to the hoop on the Jayhawks' next possession, but her floater rimmed out. Carlynn Savant, Missouri sophomore forward, grabbed the rebound and was fouled by Kansas freshman forward Taylor McIntosh.
Savant hit both free throws to extend the lead to 59-55. The Jayhawks pushed the ball up the floor and Hallman heaved a half-court pass to Kemp, who scored the Jayhawks' first basket in more than 6 minutes, cutting the deficit to two with 20 seconds to play.
After Savant was fouled and made one of two free throws, the Jayhawks had an opportunity to tie it with a three-point shot. Instead of going for the tie, Hallman drove the lane and her short jumper hit the rim and missed.
"We wanted to go for a two for one," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "If we don't make the three, and then have to foul, it's back to a two-possession game. Also, we would have ran 10 or 12 seconds off of the clock, setting up a play for a three-pointer."
EeTisha Riddle, sophomore forward, hit two free throws to secure the victory for Missouri.
The Jayhawks finished the season at 12-16. Seniors Burras and Blair Waltz played their last game as Jayhawks last night.

A late class forced J.R. Giddens to be late to the Jayhawks' 4 p.m. practice yesterday.
At 4:03 p.m., he ran barefoot into the gym, shoes in hand. He sat on a chair to lace up and was immediately surrounded by a herd of media members.
He coolly answered questions as he tied on his ankle brace and sneaker, while anxiously glancing up at his teammates warming up on the court.
The Jayhawks were forming a huddle at center court; he had to get with his team.
Suddenly, Giddens jumped out of the chair, pushed the media out of his way and ran onto the court — one shoe off, one on.
Giddens is well aware of his critics, especially in the last few months. He knows people are upset that his shots aren't consistently dropping. He knows

his flamboyant personality is perceived as selfish.

For a while, he listened and tried to answer the criticism. But recently, he realized that in doing that, he forgot to enjoy the game.
"I think I was trying to mold myself to what people wanted me to look like, what people wanted me to do and how people wanted me to act," Giddens said.
"I'd hit a shot or do something and people be like, 'Ah, he's selfish; he does this and he does that,' and you don't want a selfish image or an image that is negative to the team."

Mike Fine, bowling coach, watches Zach Taylor, Silver City, N.M., junior, bowl last night at practice in the Kansas Union. Fine is leaving the University to take over the bowling program at Florida State University. He said that although he will miss the team and Lawrence, he will leave happy with what has been done with Jaybow operation and the bowling team.

Coach commits to Florida State, saddens bowlers
A 21-year career at the University of Kansas is coming to a close for bowling coach Mike Fine. He will begin a new chapter of his coaching career after this semester. Fine, who turned the bowling team and the Jaybowl into what it is today, will take over the coaching and recreation coordinator position at Florida State University.
Florida State approached
Fine about the position. It was previously held by a friend, Marvin Overby, who died of a heart attack last summer. After a few conversations with Florida State, Fine applied for the position and was officially named Overby's successor March 1.
Fine spent 19 of his 21 years in the Jaybowl and worked full time in the Student Union Activities office the other two years. During his tenure, Jaybowl went through extensive remodeling. The improvements included bowling upgrades such as new lanes, new ball returns and a control desk, and more setting-oriented features such as black lights and cosmic bowling.

THE VIEW FROM PRESS ROW
Season champs deserve bids
KELLIS ROBINETT krobinett@kansan.com
Leave it to the Ivy League to show the rest of us how it's done.
P
While every other Division I basketball conference rewards its tournament champion with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, the Ivy League gives its bid to the regular-season champion.
In other words, the team that most deserves to be in the Big Dance.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that winning a conference title during the course of many weeks is a better achievement than winning a conference tournament during the span of a few days.
But for some reason, only the brainaiacs at Harvard and Yale have resisted the urge to sell out to the popularity of postseason conference tournaments.
A three- or four-day tournament doesn't prove anything. Even the worst team can get hot and make a run through its conference tournament.
In 1997, Fairfield finished the regular season with an 11-18 record but ran the table in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament and snuck into the field of 64. In 1998, Prairie View A&M won the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament after having a 10-16 regular season record.
I don't think so. Especially
Did those teams earn the right to compete for the national championship by playing well for that brief span?
because not every conference tournament is played on a neutral court. Most small conferences rotate their postseason tournaments around their schools' home arenas, and so do some of the major conferences. Memphis, for example, is holding this year's Conference USA Tournament.
No team should get that unfair advantage while playing for something as important as a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Why do you think the NCAA Tournament holds every game, including its play-in game, on a neutral court?
Take a look at Davidson this year. This team stormed through the Southern Conference with a perfect 16-0 record. Its next closest competitor finished with a 10-6 record.
After dominating its league and winning the regular season crown by six games, there was no doubt that Davidson was the best team in the Southern Conference. Did the Wildcats need to put their postseason future on the line for three more games?
Well, Davidson had to, and it lost in the second round of its conference tournament to 9-7 North Carolina-Greensboro, which went on to lose to 10-6 Tennessee-Chattanooga in the championship game. It just happened to be played in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Davidson did something Kansas couldn't do — win at Missouri — earlier this year, but because the Southern Conference has no national respect, Davidson can only hope for an NIT bid. So, unless Davidson gets a bid, a 10-6 team will represent the conference.

Jayhawks prepare to compete at indoor championships
The Kansas track and field team will send six athletes to the NCAA Indoor Championships this weekend in Fayetteville, Ark. Senior pole vaulter Amy Linnen and senior middle-distance runner Jeremy Mims automatically qualified.
Four other Jayhawks made nationals with their provisionally qualifying times. Junior thrower Sheldon Battle made nationals on the men's side in both the shot put and the weight throw. Freshman Ekaterina Sultanova qualified in the pole vault, senior Brooklyn Hann qualified in the triple jump and junior Charrise Bacchus qualified in the long jump. Events begin Friday at the University of Arkansas.

Texas A&M's Gillispie named Big 12 coach of the year
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Billy Gillispie never doubted he would eventually win a lot of games at Texas A&M. Hardly anyone thought it would happen so soon.
"We exceeded our expectations," Gillispie said. "But expectations were fairly low here for a good reason."
Indeed, Gillispie, who came to Texas A&M from Texas-EI Paso last March, has engineered a remarkable turnaround at what was one of the nation's worst big-time college basketball programs.
Coming off a winless record in Big 12 Conference play last season, the Aggies (19-8, 8-8) have turned themselves into improbable contenders for an at-large berth in the NCAA tournament. A&M's 12-victory improvement is tied with San Diego for the biggest swing in Division I.
For his role in bringing a taste of success to a traditionally downrodden program, Gillispie was named the AP's Big 12 coach of the year yesterday. Gillispie was an overwhelming winner among the panel of sportswriters that regularly cover the league, earring 21 of 24 votes. Texas Tech's Bobby Knight got two votes and Oklahoma's Kelvin Sampson had one.
Gillispie had already proven he could turn things around quickly. At UTEP, Gillispie finished 6-24 in his first season but went 24-8 the next year and, advancing to the NCAA Tournament. That tied for the greatest one-year turnaround in college basketball history.

Critics
He has tried to keep a positive. He has found other ways than just shooting to contribute. Self has complimented him for improving his defense. Against Missouri, Giddens had a career-high four steals.
After 26 games, Giddens is shooting 35 percent from behind the arc compared to 40 percent last year. He averaged 11.3 points per game last year and he is putting up 10.3 this season.
"Last year, it was like if I didn't hit shots, I had a bad game." Giddens said. "This year, I want to come out and guard the other team's best player and do the little things that help my team."
Giddens will be the first one to say that he hasn't played his best basketball this year. But statistically, his numbers aren't that much different from last season.
His teammates said he had been missing something that doesn't appear on a stat sheet: confidence.
"for him, I think it's all mental." senior guard Aaron Miles
said. "It's up to him to get his confidence up and bring the game that he expects himself to bring."
"I don't fault his trying, but I do sometimes fault his aggressiveness." Self said. "I think he could really, really try, but when you are not confident you are not very aggressive."
In the Jayhawks' last two games, though, Giddens looked like a player who was regaining his confidence. Self said his performance was one of the few positives to come out of a dismal second half at Missouri.
"I thought he was very aggressive and that it was evident getting four steals," Self said. "He went coast-to-coast one time with his left hand; that was a great play. He made a couple of big shots and I thought he was much better."
ers.
Self said the Jayhawks needed Giddens to step up this weekend in the Big 12 Tournament. With senior guard Keith Langford out with an ankle injury, the Jayhawks will need Giddens' offense to make up for Langford's 15 points a game and his defense to guard opponents' top perimeter play-
PETER RUSHALL
"He is going to have to be huge," Self said. "It is time for J.R. to start playing the way that he is capable of playing, which I believe he will. I think
Giddens
J. R. is an excellent ball player and with Keith being out, we are going to look to him more and more to deliver. And certainly I think he is capable of doing so."
Keith Update
Keith Langford walked into basketball practice yesterday crutch-free. He was still sporting the orthopedic boot on the left ankle. He said the athletic trainer took him off crutches because he wanted him to get used to walking with some discomfort.
"That is the way I am going to have to play." Lagport said.
Kansas coach Bill Self said it was unlikely that Langford would play in Friday's Big 12 Tournament game.
"I don't think there is any
reason to play him unless he is close to being 100 percent," Self said. "Structurally he is fine, but it is more of a pain tolerance issue and knowing that if he would tweak it again, he would have to go through the process again and it would be very painful."
"If he is not 85 to 90 percent, we will not play him."
Langford said he received four treatments Monday and was planning on going four times yesterday. During treatments he said the trainer used ice, massage and some anti-inflammatories.
He said his goal was to play this weekend, but he agreed with Self that if he was not at least 80 percent, he wouldn't play.
He said the injury already felt better than it did Sunday, but there was still some discomfort.
"I don't want to be out there and just look terrible and then use it as an excuse," he said. "If I play, I want to be able to play to the point where there are not excuses. I want it to be me out there playing."

The two were the only form of offense for the Jayhawks. The rest of the team had only five field goals. Henrickson admitted that she has high hopes for next year.
"Everyone will be a year older and have a year in the system," Henrickson said. "We want to put them on the back for this season but also be able
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
to kick them in the tail to get better for next year."
Season
Even with the success Kemp and Hallman had this season, they still need to improve for next season, she said.
This season, The Associated Press picked Kansas to finish 11th out of 12 teams in the Big 12. Most writers didn't even think women's team would win a game. It showed the skeptics finishing 5-11 in the Big 12
"As much as this loss hurts, we can't let it overshadow the growth that we made this season," Henrickson said. "This year wasn't enough, obviously, because we had a losing record and didn't make the postseason. But if we can make the same amount of growth next season that we did this season, good things can happen."
Conference, good enough for eighth place.
BOX SCORE
Junior forward Crystal Kemp notched a career high in points to go with double-digit rebounds, but it wasn't quite enough to lift Kansas over Missouri. Each Tiger starter scored eight or more points. The starting five combined for all of Missouri's scoring.
The rest of yesterday afternoon's box score:

Disappointed with the defeat, Kemp was still happy with this season and is using it as a stepping stone to prepare for next season.
"This season gives us a lot of momentum going into next year," Kemp said. "The fact we are going to be seniors is a plus because we know what to expect and how to lead the team."
Hallman, who wiped away tears before entering the interview room, was also looking forward to next season.
"We need to learn from today and get better in the offseason," Hallman said. "When our freshman come in over the summer, we need to get them on the same page as everyone else. If we keep listening to Coach, we will be more successful than this season."
Not making the postseason is something new for Henrickson, who broke an 11-year postseason streak by missing it this year. While at Virginia Tech she averaged 23 wins per season and had an overall record of 158-62.
With Henrickson at the helm and Kemp and Hallman primed for a big senior season, next year should be promising. If Henrickson can get her incoming recruiting class to buy into her system, a return to postseason is a possibility for Henrickson and the Jayhawks.

"Over 20 years we've been able to do a pretty significant renovation." Fine said. "You would not recognize the place from when I started in '84."
Fine's efforts with the bowling teams have turned them from above-average into nationally recognized programs. In 1998, after his twoyear stint in the SUA office, Fine met with three returning seniors and discussed ways to improve the program.
In the spring of 1999, the men's team reached national recognition when it made it to the Intercollegiate Bowling Championship. Fine had gotten the women's team to the IBC in 1995, and he said the team's philosophy led it to continued success. That success reached its crowning moment last year when the men's team won its first IBC National Championship under Fine.
It will be difficult to replace what Fine, who was the 2001-2002 Intercollegiate Bowling Coach of the Year, has done for the Jaybowl and the University of Kansas. He served not only as the bowling coach and recreation coordinator, but also as a mechanic in the Jaybowl. The multi-talent necessity of the job will make the search for Fine's replacement difficult.
Waite said David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, was reviewing the current job description for recreation coordinator.
"Mike is such a multi-talented, three-in-one guy," said Jim Waite, director of programs for the Memorial Unions. "We may have to resort to hiring an independent person from the position to serve as either a coach or a mechanic."
"The review process will probably take a week or two," Waite said. "I anticipate we will
head out on the search after spring break."
Waite he hoped to have a few of the current members of the bowling team help with the search for a new coordinator.
The fact that their coach will be leaving at season's end has some team members wondering where the program will go.
"We could be in some trouble," junior bowler Rhino Page said. "But I know that there's a lot of people out there that care about this program, especially in town, so I don't think — by any means — it's going to go down the tubes."
Page said Fine's personality, in particular, will be a huge loss. Some bowlers had trouble verbalizing Fine's place in their lives.
"He's kind of like a father figure," freshman bowler Nikki Johannes said. "You can go and talk to him, he's really easy to talk to."
For senior bowler Kelly Zapf, who intends to come back next year to help the team make the transition, was holding back tears.
Source: Big 12 Conference
"He's not just my coach, he's not just my boss — he's my friend and I don't know where I'd be right now if it wasn't for him," Zapf said. "I can't imagine this place without him next year."
Fine's decision to leave Kansas came two weeks before the IBC Sectional Qualifier on March 19-20. Florida State is in the same sectional as Kansas, and junior bowler Zach Taylor said he was concerned the team might get wrapped up in how Fine's future players do.
"I think it's kind of in the back of all our minds," Taylor said. "We'll probably be watching Florida State a little more closely than we would ordinarily."
On May 20, Fine will end his career as the recreation coordinator for the Memorial Unions and the Kansas bowling coach.

This problem plagues the small and mid-major conferences because their conference tournaments render the regular season virtually worthless.
Vermont, despite owning an RPI of 23, thought so little of its at-large chances that coach Tom Brennan sat his two leading scorers after clinching the regular season America East Conference Title. With its two best players resting up before the conference tournament, Vermont suffered an embarrassing loss to Maine.
Brennan said that he made the move because he thought
the only way his team could make the NCAA Tournament was by winning the America East Conference Tournament.
With all of this carnage going on in the lesser known leagues across the country, it certainly is nice to be Pennsylvania, which found out it would be playing in the NCAA Tournament way back on Feb. 26.
The Quakers won the Ivy League by five games with a 13-1 record and never had to worry about the drama — and possible heartbreak — that comes with losing one game in a pointless postseason tournament.

Jeff Hawkins, junior guard, and Darnell Jackson, freshman forward, wait to check in during the game against Missouri on Sunday afternoon. In that game, Jackson logged eight minutes and grabbed two rebounds. After sitting on the bench for most of the season, Jackson has challenged himself to work harder in practice.
When Kansas coach Bill Self checked the voice mail on his cell phone three weeks ago, he listened to a message unlike any other.
Freshman forward Darnell Jackson called Self to say he wasn't taking advantage of the opportunity Self was giving him, and things were about to change.
change.
"For an 18-year-old kid to say that shows you quite a bit." Self said.
The phone call came as a surprise to Self because the day before Jackson called, Self admitted that he thought he wasn't giving Jackson a fair opportunity at playing time.
After being buried on the bench for most of the season, Jackson didn't get down. Instead, he challenged himself to work harder in practice, and Self took notice. Recently, he has increased his playing time and has been one of the first forwards to come off the bench in a game.
starting forwards, junior Christian Moody and senior Wayne Simien, he believed it was his duty to elevate his game in practice.
in practice. "I just had to turn my life around and start looking at the positives," Jackson said. "I like to be on the court during games and to do that I had to start doing things in practice. I've just been playing hard."
"Since we had that conversation, it's like a light has come on,"self said. "He realized that
there were no more free lunches. It's unfortunate that it happened late in the season, but he's a much better practice player and is giving himself the opportunity to get into games now."
Jackson said it wasn't always easy for him to stay upbeat, but finally realized that his time would come. Though he never felt he was on the same level as
Giddens told Jackson to watch the others, because he's as athletic as those guys, and he just needed to get out there and show people what he could do.
The Oklahoma City native said that Self stressed turning hard work into a routine. It wasn't enough for him to set screens and rebound well in the occasional practice — it had to be done at all times.
In addition, Jackson said he was able to turn the corner because of the support sophomore guard J.R. Giddens gave him. Giddens is also from Oklahoma City, and is a close friend of Jackson's.
school.
"I was thinking this would be just like high school," Jackson said. "But I figured out that it wasn't. This is a Big 12 school, you know, Division I. It's a lot better competition."
"He's really talented," Giddens said. "He's starting to get a feel for the game. He's made some vicious dunks in practice, and he's only going to get better. I'm proud of him."
The idea of giving maximum effort hit home with Jackson because he never had to try his hardest to be good in high school.
Since Jackson began playing with a renewed attitude he has been fighting for loose balls up and down the court.
He has attacked rebounds like never before, and set screens to get the guards open.
In the last three games he has played an average of 9 minutes. He has only scored five points in that time, but he played the self Self wanted him to, and at 6-foot-8 tall, 240 pounds, he's given the Jayhawks a much-needed inside presence.
Jackson said that he was happy about the minutes he is getting, but still thinks he won't be a key contributor for Kansas until next year. He is, however, excited about his new role filling in for Moody and Simien, and hopes to play like an NBA All-Star in the NCAA Tournament.
"We need someone besides Moody and Simien to play," Self said. "I like how Darnell is playing. He's a body down there."
"Coach told me he wants me to play like Ben Wallace," Jackson said. "To do that I've got to block every shot, get every rebound and take charges. That's my role right there."

Player's memory pushes team to the end

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The team dedicated this season to sophomore Connor Meigs, who died in a car accident during winter break. It fell one game short of finishing undefeated since the accident.
The KU club hockey team capped off an emotional second semester in Columbia, Mo., last weekend, when it played two games against the Missouri Tigers.
"The season was strengthened by and dedicated to Connor Meigs," senior forward Joey Barghini said. "The second half was dedicated to him, and he will be in our memories for a long time."
On Saturday, the Jayhawks' 2-0 lead slipped away, and they were tied with the Tigers heading into the third period. Senior forward David Hall scored the first goal of the game for the Jayhawks, and his last goal of his career at the University of Kansas. Both teams scored one goal in the third, and the game ended in a tie. All three of Missouri's goals came off power plays.
"the special teams played a key role in the game," sophomore goaltender Zach Sias said.
Sunday's game was hard-fought, as was evident when both teams' captains were ejected from the game. The game was just as tight a matchup as Saturday's game was, as the teams were tied with three goals apiece heading into the third period. In the third period, however, Missouri outscored Kansas 3-0 to give the Jayhawks a 6-3 loss and the first and only loss since winter break.
"The game was very scrapy. At the end of the game, Missouri was cross-checking and throwing cheap shots, despite a three-goal lead," Sias said, "but we kept our class and did not retaliate. The whole while, the Missouri coaches just laughed about so many penalties being called."
Barghini, who had an assist in Saturday's game, finished his career with Kansas by scoring the final goal of the season.
The goal was shorthanded, meaning one of the jayhawks' players was in the penalty box. It was Barghini's fourth shorthanded goal of the season, and led the team in that category.
since I knew it was going to be the last game I ever play," Barghini said. "It's a nice feeling getting the goal, although it would have been better if we would have won."
Kansas and Missouri had faced off in the Jayhawks' home opener back in September, when the Tigers won 9-0.
"We bounced back showing progress, and played two of our best games all season. I couldn't be happier of how we have progressed," Barghini said, "and how the team was in shambles and how we've stepped up and become more focused and unified. The team will have many good years ahead, and I will be more than happy to be a fan of the team."
"It was an emotional game,
The number 32 patches they wear on their jerseys will be a permanent reminder of Meigs, as will the locker space he occupied in the locker room.
Meigs' jersey traveled with the team to Missouri and hung behind their bench, as it has for every game since his death.
"We are dedicating his jersey number and the place in the locker room where he always was," Barghini said, "so he will always be in our memory."

Linebacker signs with Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Kendrell Bell signed a seven-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday, Chiefs President Carl Peterson said.
No terms of the deal were released.
Bell missed all but three games last season with shoulder and groin injuries.
The Augusta, Ga., native had his best season in 2003, when he was an alternate Pro Bowl selection after recording 108 tackles and five sacks, an interception and a forced fumble.
The Associated Press
"We're pleased to acquire Kendrell's services and we think he will make an impact for the Chiefs in 2005 and beyond," Peterson said. "He's a quality football player, as well as a quality person."
COLLEGE BASKETBALL Creighton wins conference title
ST.LOUIS—Creighton leaned heavily on its bench and the usual barrage of three-pointers to win its fifth Missouri Valley Conference tournament in seven years.
Bell, 6-foot-1, 257 pounds, was an unrestricted free agent after spending four seasons with the Steelers. He was the defensive rookie of the year and played in the Pro Bowl in 2001, after recording 88 tackles, nine sacks and a pair of forced fumbles in his first season.
Reserves Dane Watts and Jimmy Motz combined for half of the team's 13 three-point shots, and the Bluejays pulled away late for a 75-57 victory over Southwest Missouri State in the championship game Monday night.
Motz was 4-for-7 from three-point range and scored 12 points for Creighton (23-10). Watts was 2-for-4 from three-point range and had 14 points.
Deke Thompson had 14 points and Anthony Shavies had 10 for Southwest Missouri State (18-12), which also lost the tournament championship game last year and was shut out of the postseason. The team has been in the title game five times in the last eight seasons, but hasn't won since 1992.
Coach Barry Hinson said his team would get an NIT bid this season.
Johnny Mathies was chosen as tournament MVP, and was joined on the all-tournament team by Motz, Nate Funk, Tamarr Maclin and Darren Brooks.

Huskers defeat Cowgirls, advance
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chelsea Aubrey had 15 points and six rebounds to lead Nebraska to a 60-45 victory against Oklahoma State yesterday in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament.
Oklahoma State (7-20) was within seven points with 2:25 to play, but Nebraska put the game out of reach at 56-45 with 1:25 left.
Kiera Hardy had 13 points for the Cornhuskers (17-12) and Jelena Spiric added 10 points and eight rebounds.
Talesha Conder led the Cowgirls with 14 points before fouling out with one minute left. Nina Stone added 12 points for Oklahoma State.
Nebraska plays No.17 Kansas State on tonight.
The game was tied 29-29 at halftime, but Oklahoma State had shooting troubles in the second half. The Cowgirls shot just 24 percent (3-of-7) from the floor and had just two field goals in the first 11:30 of the half.
Nebraska went on an 8-2 run early in the second half to take a 44-34 lead with 10:25 left.

Big Unit debuts in Yankee defeat
Randy Johnson didn't display his overpowering fastball or his menacing glare in his first spring start. But the New York Yankees were just happy to see the Big Unit take the mound.
Meanwhile, Mark Mulder rebounded from a sloppy debut and gave the St. Louis Cardinals a glimpse of the No. 1 starter they expected.
Johnson worked two innings in an 8-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Kissimmee, Fla. He threw 36 pitches, 22 for strikes, and gave up a two-run homer to old nemesis Chipper Jones in an uneven performance

High Scorers stay true to their name
INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL
By MICHAEL PHILIPPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAAN SPORTWRITER
The Hoosiers would have needed Gene Hackman as their coach to come back from their 28-point halftime deficit during their intramural game against the High Scorers.
This was not a tale of redemption, however, and the aptly named High Scorers defeated the Hoosiers 73-45 in the first round of intramural tournament play Sunday night.
The High Scorers remain undefeated at 4-0 and are four wins away from the co-recreational title.
There was no shortage of players willing to step up and hit shots for the High Scorers. They played a zone defense, allowing open three-point shots throughout the entire game.
The season ends for the Hoosiers with a 1-3 record. They were beaten by an average of 22 points in their defeats.
Nick Rubio, Goodland senior, knocked down a pair of threes in the first two minutes. Those shots and others helped the team open the game with a 21-6 lead.

With less than five minutes to play, timeout was called, and the teams regrouped for one final run to end the half.
This time, the High Scorers were led by Efe Ekpere. The Port Charlotte, Fla. senior swished buckets from almost everywhere on the court as the team scored 13 unanswered points.

The second half opened well for the Hoosiers, as they cut the lead to 22.
Koerner struck right back for the High Scorers. He had three three-pointers in a span of less than 90 seconds.
"When you get hot like that, you just want to keep shooting," Koerner said.

highlight-reel plays. Ekpere attempted an alley-oop dunk, but the ball was delivered too low. Koerner continued to fire away, finishing the second half with four three-point baskets.
The team will look to keep its unblemished record intact as the tournament continues for them on Friday night.

Stormy weather cuts golfers' game
BY TIM HALL
thak@kansan.com
KANSL SPORTWRITER
The Kansas men's golf team finished in a tie for fourth place among 15 teams at the Louisiana Classics at Oakbourne Country Club in Lafayette, La., yesterday.
Kansas had a tournament total of 586, which left the men four shots back. Southern Methodist University took the title with a team score of 582, good for six over par in the tournament. The Mustangs were led by Dan Kleckner in the final round, who fired a two-underpar 70. Kleckner, individually, finished the tournament in a tie for second place.
Stormy weather on Monday kept golfers off the course that afternoon. The tournament was supposed to consist of three rounds, two played on Monday and the final round played yesterday. Thunderstorms caused the cancellation of the second round on Monday and it was not made up.
"I think that it's disappointing that we won't get to play all three rounds," coach Ross Randall said, "but I think that we could have caught the teams in front of us if we played well enough."
The shortened tournament didn't seem to have an effect on sophomore golfer Tyler Docking. He led the Jayhawks for the third tournament in a row. Docking finished in a tie for second place with a two-round total of 142. two-under.
"Tyler is really playing great
golf right now," Randall said. "He is playing smart and steady and it's really fun to watch."
Senior Andrew Price also played well for the Layhawks.
PETER KENNINGTON
Price finished the tournament in a tie for 18th with a two-round total of 148, even after a sluggish final round score of 76.
Docking
Sophomore Gary Woodland also tied for 18th shooting 72. Junior Pete Krsnich had a two-round total of 149 and junior Luke Trammell, playing as an individual, finished with a total score of 150.
Kansas will next be in action on March 23 when the team will travel to Stevinson, Calif., to play in the Colorado/Stevinson Ranch Intercollegiate.

Fourteen-year-old Melodie Miller's voice didn't waver as she told a packed courthouse she heard muffled cries coming from her mother's room the night she died.
- Her mother, Mary Miller, a former KU librarian, was found dead the morning of July 28,
2004, at the Millers' house in the 2100 block of Carolina Street. Mary Miller was in charge of technology at Watson Library.
Prosecutors presented their case against Mary Miller's husband, Martin K. Miller, who was charged with the first-degree murder in yesterday's preliminary hearing.
"I never heard her yell like that," Melodie Miller said while testifying.
Melodie Miller was one of several witnesses called to testify.
Police officers, detectives, the couple's 12-year-old son Matthew Miller, and a 54-year-old Eudora woman who said she had a four-year affair with Martin Miller all testified on behalf of the prosecution.
Melodie Miller testified she was going to check on her mother after she heard the scream, but returned to bed
when she heard a male voice she assumed was her father's saying everything was going to be, OK.
"It was a very comforting voice." she said.
Melodie Miller testified that she heard footsteps and saw a male who appeared to be her father walk past her room shortly after midnight.
She awoke to the sound of sirens at about 6:30 the next morning.
She walked into her mother's
room where she saw her mother lying in bed, surrounded by four police officers.
"When I saw her I knew she was dead." Melodie Miller said.
As she left the stand, Melodie Miller didn't appear to look at her father, who was seated at the defendant's table. Martin Miller seemed as calm and collected as his daughter as she left the room.
Detective Jeff Cross, one of the officers who was on the scene when Mary Miller was found, interviewed Martin
Miller that morning.
Cross presented material yesterday that he gathered from Martin Miller. Cross testified that Martin Miller told police he awoke in the living room about 6 a.m. to the sound of an alarm clock in his and his wife's bedroom.
Around 2 a.m. he moved to a recliner to sleep because of head and back pain, Martin Miller told police.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The annual revue is losing Friday night ticket sales to the Big 12 tournament this weekend, said Craig Van Blaricum, Rock Chalk Revue business manager.
Despite several evenings of practice by nine greek organizations for this year's Rock Chalk Revue, only about a quarter of the available tickets for Friday's Lied Center show have been sold.
The Jahawks play at 6 p.m,
and the show starts at 7 p.m.
The revue, a variety show to raise money for United Way of Douglas County, is scheduled for Thursday through Saturday nights at the Lied Center.
Only 550 out of 2000 available tickets have been sold for Friday's show, but about 1,500 tickets have been sold for Saturday's show.
The Saturday show generates the highest attendance because of the awards ceremony, Van Blaricum, Lawrence graduate student and Beta Theta Pi alum, said.
The event has raised $18,000 from pre-ticket sales.

The University of Kansas Brain Tissue Bank is run by Larry Carver, professor of psychiatry, and Kathy Newell, professor of pathology. Brain samples are from donors diagnosed with various neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases.
"The importance of this resource to research is unbelievable," Newell said. "There isn't another in the region."

Newell, who has done research on Alzheimer's disease, "inheritited" part of the collection two and half years ago when she came to the Med Center. Brains with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases formed most of a collection of tissue started by Rajesh Pahwa, professor of neurology, Newell said. Pahwa began the program in 1991.
Because of a lack of funds, the collection sat around unnoticed from 1996 until January 2005. When Carver arrived last year with his personal collection of about 150 brains, the collection rose to nearly 300 brains. Samples in his collection were diagnosed with various psychiatric illnesses, dementia and neurological disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression and multiple sclerosis.
He began collecting the tissue when he did research at Louisiana State University Medical Center.

Huskers defeat Cowgirls, advance
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
Chelsea Aubrey had 15 points
and six rebounds to lead
Nebraska to a 60-45 victory
against Oklahoma State yesterday in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament.
Oklahoma State (7-20) was within seven points to 2:25 to play, but Nebraska put the game out of reach at 56-45 with 1:25 left.
Kiera Hardy had 13 points for the Connhuskers (17-12) and Jelena Spiric added 10 points and eight rebounds.
Taleeha Conder led the Cowgirls with 14 points before fouling out with one minute left. Nina Stone added 12 points for Oklahoma State.
Nebraska plays No.17 Kansas State on tonight.
The game was tied 29-29 at halftime, but Oklahoma State had shooting troubles in the second half. The Cowgirls shot just 24 percent (3-of-7) from the floor and had just two field goals in the first 11:30 of the half.
Nebraska went on an 8-2 run early in the second half to take a 44-34 lead with 10:25 left.

Meanwhile, Mark Mulder rebounded from a sloppy debut and gave the St. Louis Cardinals a glimpse of the No. 1 starter they expected.
Johnson worked two innings in an 8-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Kissimmee, Fla. He threw 36 pitches, 22 for strikes, and gave up a two-run homer to old nemesis Chipper Jones in an uneven performance.

High Scorers stay true to their name
INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The Hoosiers would have needed Gene Hackman as their coach to come back from their 28-point halftime deficit during their intramural game against the High Scorers.
This was not a tale of redemption, however, and the aptly named High Scorers defeated the Hoosiers 73-45 in the first round of intramural tournament play Sunday night.
The High Scorers remain undefeated at 4-0 and are four wins away from the co-recreational title.
The season ends for the Hoosiers with a 1-3 record. They were beaten by an average of 22 points in their defeats.
There was no shortage of players willing to step up and hit shots for the High Scorers. They played a zone defense, allowing open three-point shots throughout the entire game.

Stormy weather cuts golfers' game

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas men's golf team finished in a tie for fourth place among 15 teams at the Louisiana Classics at Oakbourne Country Club in Lafayette, La., yesterday.
Kansas had a tournament total of 586, which left the men four shots back. Southern Methodist University took the title with a team score of 582, good for six over par in the tournament. The Mustangs were led by Dan Kleckner in the final round, who fired a two-underpar 70. Kleckner, individually, finished the tournament in a tie for second place.
Stormy weather on Monday kept golfers off the course that afternoon. The tournament was supposed to consist of three rounds, two played on Monday and the final round played yesterday. Thunderstorms caused the cancellation of the second round on Monday and it was not made up.
"I think that it's disappointing that we won't get to play all three rounds," coach Ross Randall said, "but I think that we could have caught the teams in front of us if we played well enough."
The shortened tournament didn't seem to have an effect on sophomore golfer Tyler Docking. He led the Jayhawks for the third tournament in a row. Docking finished in a tie for second place with a two-round total of 142, two-under.

Senior Andrew Price also played well for the Lay hawks.

Price finished the tournament in a tie for 18th with a two-round total of 148, even after a sluggish final round score of 76.
Sophomore Gary Woodland also tied for 18th shooting 72. Junior Pete Krsnich had a two-round total of 149 and junior Luke Trammell, playing as an individual, finished with a total score of 150.
Kansas will next be in action on March 23 when the team will travel to Stevinson, Calif., to play in the Colorado/Stevinson Ranch Intercollegiate.

Student Voice wants wireless residence halls
Coalition wants student choice despite limitations
By DANIEL BERK

DBERK STAFF WRITE
The Student Voice campaign will concentrate on making wireless Internet in residence halls a possibility.
The decision was made after members received students complaints about ResNet, the Internet provider to residence halls.

Students complained that the Internet service was too slow and wasn't always reliable. Dennis Chanay.

"Kill ResNet" is the title of the issue on the coalition's platform. Chanay, Paola freshman, said the goal of the platform was to give students a choice between ResNet and wireless Internet.
president for Student Voice, said.
However, KU Information Services has reservations about the proposal by Student Voice and question if it is even possible.
Chanay
Allison Rose Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for KU Information Services, said that adding wireless Internet to residence halls presents issues is cost and feasibility.
"It is technically feasible to provide KU Wireless Zones in the lobby areas of student housing facilities." Rose Lopez said. "It just isn't feasible to provide 100 percent coverage for 4,000 students down every wing of every hall."
Chanay said that providing 100 percent coverage isn't necessary for now because not everybody living at residence hall has wireless Internet.
Rose Lopez said that Information Services works with KU Student Housing to improve services in residence halls.
"This is what students want and this is what we will deliver," Chanay said.
Decisions about Internet connectivity in residence halls cannot be made independently by students.

Funds needed for entrances
CAMPUS
Most alumni donors give money to their specialized schools

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
University of Kansas officials are looking for donors to complete a 10-year, $22 million facelift for the University of Kansas.
The Landscape Master Plan, which was designed in April 2000 by Jeffrey L. Bruce and Company, involves adding five new gates as entrances to the University.
The Malott Gate was the first installment of the plan and was completed during the summer of 2002. Bob Malott, son of the late University Chancellor Deane W. Malott, and his wife Elizabeth donated $1 million.
The Malott gateway, at Bob Billings Parkway and Iowa Street, cost $800.00 to build.
Other gates are planned for 19th Street and Naismith Drive; 11th and Mississippi streets; 13th Street and Oread Avenue and 17th and Indiana streets.
"People liked the plan,but nobody's really stepped up."
Warren Corman University architect
The 13th Street and Oread Avenue gateway has not been designed yet, although it could contain a fountain
or a circle in the street. Warren Corman, University architect, said the design could depend on the donor.
He said funding for the project comes from private donors.
However, the Endowment Association hasn't received other donations for the project.
"People liked the plan, but nobody's really stepped up." Corman said.
Beautifying the campus has been one of Chancellor Robert Hemenway's main goals, Corman said.
An aesthetically pleasing campus could help the University recruit more students, Corman said.
April Diederich, Walmego sopho
more, said the gateways are good-looking,but that the cost seems excessive.
"I think there are other things that much money could be spent on," she said. "Five of them seem like a lot."
Endowment Association officials are looking for donors like the Malotis who had an interest in making the campus look better, John Scarffe, director of communications for the Endowment Association said.
Scarfe said the difficulty of finding donors for the remaining gateways was that most alumni want to donate to their specific professional school.
"A person who graduated from the business school, for example, has a loyalty to that school and would most likely fund a professorship for that school," he said.
Other Master Plan improvements include new shrubs and trees, improvements to the Chi Omega fountain and a new plan for Jayhawk Blvd.

Last night, she and Jana Corrinea, São Paulo, Brazil, sophomore, taught a samba and axe dance workshop. The workshop was one of seven Brazilian Week events, which are leading up to the Brazilian Student Association's Carnaval party this Saturday. Association president, Terena Silva, Recife, Brazil, senior, started the dance workshop
to familiarize people planning to attend the party with basic Brazilian dance steps. Silva said that though people enjoyed the energy of last year's Carnaval, they wanted to be able to dance at it.
"Everyone was complaining that they didn't know how to dance at the carnaval," Silva said, "So we figured we would teach it."
Energetic hosts Lima and Correña, transfer volleyball players from Brazil, and Rafael Demarco, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior, helped 30 participants learn basic dance steps to four dances.

songs that will be played at the Carnaval, said Demarco, treasurer and social chair of the association. We hope that they will enjoy that, he said.
The four steps were samba, the most popular dance; forro, a dance from northwestern Brazil, which means "for all," axe, a southeastern
Brazilian dance with Latin influences; and a funky Brazilian hip-hop. Jennifer Roach, Leawood senior and member of Capoira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art club, decided to come to the workshop to prepare for the party.
"I went to the Carnaval last year and had a lot of fun," she said, "but this year I wanted to learn more dances before I went."
Tonight, the movie "O Auto da Compadecida," a Brazilian comedy, will be shown at 7 p.m. in 4008 Wescoe. Tomorrow, Brazilian Big Table, a weekly Brazilian Portuguese club will meet at 5 p.m. at the Hawks' Nest.
St., draws people from all over the Midwest, Silva said. She said that about 100 tickets would be sold today for $12 at the Student Union Activities office.
The hosts said they hoped everyone would try to dance at the Carnaval, but Roach said it was fun to watch even if you didn't know the steps.

Portillo's first match was a timed one that he promptly lost.
Not all players took the tournament in such a light-hearted manner.
At the beginning, the crowd favored Kyle
Sciolaro, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, to win the tournament. When he was a sophomore at Shawnee Mission East High School, he won the state chess championship. Sciolaro sees chess as a metaphor for life.
"Control the center, don't overextend, don't be too aggressive or defensive and
don't create any weaknesses." he said.
In the finals, Sciolaro defeated Samer Adra, Wichita sophomore. But instead of cutting down the nets, Sciolaro will have to settle for $25 worth of riblets.

Cross testified that Martin Miller said he didn't hear any screams during the night.
Lawrence police arrested Martin Miller two days later on July 30 after an autopsy concluded Mary Miller died of strangulation.
Other evidence presented yesterday was a book found by Mary Miller's bedside and explicit files found on Martin Miller's computer.
The book, "Living with Your Husband's Secret Wars," discusses issues about sex addiction and infidelity.
Investigators also discovered a cache of 1,300 to 1,800 pornographic images on Martin Miller's computer.
Judge Paula Martin decided there was enough evidence to proceed with a jury trial. Martin Miller's trial is scheduled to begin June 13.
Brain
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Carver welcomed donations of any brain with a neurological or psychiatric disease, and the collection grew quickly.
"People will very easily donate brain tissue in their illness because they feel they can still do something for others," he said.
With such an important resource now at the Med Center, both researchers are working to make the University and other local researchers aware of the collection.
Edited by Jesse Truesdale
Though the bank is important for providing tissue for various research projects, insuring the bank's financial security drives the researchers' efforts.
Twelve research papers that use the bank's tissue must be published in medical journals before a grant from the National Institutes of Health can be applied for, Newell said.
There are no other brain banks in the region, Newell said. The closest is in St. Louis.
Funding for the bank comes from the school of medicine, but it can't cover everything, she said.
One half of the brain has pathological studies conducted on it and is preserved with a compound called formalin, maintaining it in a wet state, which keeps the brain pliable, Newell said.
Adding to the bank is a costly process. A donor's brain is removed during his or her autopsy and is cut in half.
Brain donations cost about $650 for all the procedures.
The other hemisphere is sliced and then frozen for future use by researchers.
"The last thing we want to do is tell a donor that this is going to cost X amount of dollars to do," she said.
Though diseased tissue is critical for research, she said the need to compare it to a normal brain from a person of around the same age and gender was just as important.
Sometimes getting the healthy brains is harder than getting diseased ones, Carver said.
"It's just hard to get the message out to healthy individuals," he said.
About $80,000 a year is needed to cover the cost to operate the room.
The figure is based on an estimate from a fellow researcher at Oklahoma State University with a brain bank that the state of Oklahoma gives $70,000 a year to maintain. Newell said.
A new grant from a federal source would not only pay for maintenance and donations, but could provide aid to those who wish to use the tissue for research, Newell said.
Awareness of the bank is increasing. A day after a small article ran in the Kansas City Star, Jill Knott, senior project coordinator of the bank, received five phone calls from potential donors.
A researcher from the University of Missouri-Kansas City has also expressed interest in obtaining tissue for his research, Knott, Rochester, N.Y., medical student, said.
Tissue from most of the brains with Parkinson's disease are not available because Pahwa still uses them for his research, she said.
Both the formalin-preserved and frozen tissues are available to researchers.
To request tissue, researchers should contact Knott to discuss use and shipping. Cost will be determined on a case-to-case basis, Knott said.

Puerto Rican poet to speak tomorrow
Its act will be a musical murder mystery in a high-society women's organization. The show is called "Die a la mode."
This year, Alpha Gamma Delta is performing its act without a partner.
Leawood senior, said all the preparation should mean a successful show.
University of Kansas students can see life through the eyes of a Puerto Rican living in America tomorrow. Poet Martin Espada will read poems from his latest book, "Alabanza: New and Selected Poems (1982-2002)," at 7:30 tomorrow night at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union. Students in American studies typically read and enjoy his poetry, said Robert Vodicka, Lawrence doctorate student.
"We just feel like it's a good opportunity to bring us together as a chapter," said Abi Bloxham, Alpha Gamma Delta director and Wichita senior. "It's fun to be pioneering something new."
Other acts include stories about a news station, a struggling marching band and a squabble in a camp between bird watchers and hunters.
Each act will feature an original song written by the performing group.

According to his Web site, www.martinespada.net, Espada has published seven collections of poetry and his poems have been published in The New York Times Book Review, Harper's Bazaar, The Nation and The Best American Poetry.
Tickets for the shows are $14 on Thursday, $18 on Friday and $20 on Saturday.
"There's a lot of students that say they hate poetry," Vodicka said. "But they say they like Espada's poems."
Espada is a professor of English at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
Espada said he wanted to write poetry that coincided with social justice. He said many of his poems were inspired by his experiences as a bouncer and a tenant lawyer. This will be the second time that Espada will read his poetry in Kansas. He read his poetry at Kansas State University about 10 years ago.

Alumna trust fund helps fix church
The committee of a trust fund started by the late KU alumna Shelley Miller donated $5,000 to the St. Luke African Methodist Episcopal Church, 900 New York Ave., for renovations.
Former slaves founded the church in 1862. It was built in 1905 in East Lawrence, and has been a landmark for Lawrence citizens, including some famous ones such as Langston Hughes. Shelley Miller graduated from the University of Kansas, and received a master of library science degree from the University of California at Los Angeles. "She lived near the church," said Todd Miller, board member of the Shelley Miller Charitable Trust. "We thought it would be something near and dear to her heart."
Miller died in 1994 at the age of 40.

Media overblows Churchill, Stewart; ignores real issues
"I've seen the future, brother. It is murder."
Leonard Cohen
I am the Chief Information Security Officer at a leading global IT company. I have been responsible for developing and implementing security policies and procedures to protect the company's data and applications from threats. I also lead teams of IT staff and manage security budgets to ensure that our company remains protected from cybersecurity incidents.
STEPHEN SHUPE
sshupe@kansan.com
I was content to stand on the sidelines as the controversy surrounding Ward Churchill unfurled. After all, there's been sufficient commentary from across the political spectrum on this
very page, including an excellent editorial by Kyle Koch ("Politicians nix free speech rights," The University Daily Kansan, Feb. 15, 2005).
Then Martha Stewart got out of the slammer.
Then Martha Stewart got out of the slammer. It was the "lead story" on CNN all day Friday. America's leading homemaker came out in the snow holding lemons and waxed poetic on her favorite fruit. This was serious news. Later, she served hot chocolate to frigid reporters stationed outside her Westchester County estate in New York.
But wait, it gets even more adorable. In a CNN-Gallup poll, Americans were asked if they "feel sympathetic toward Martha Stewart." The results reflected that they do.
All the ugly truths of Churchill's infamous essay, "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens," hit home as CNN's cheerleading news anchors wrapped Martha Stewart in ribbons and bows.
As the Colorado professor said in a Feb. 10 interview, "I want the whole goddamned process to stop, you know?"
Churchill was talking about mass murder. I'm talking about the mainstream media's lies of omission, deflected by celebrity hooey and the friendly packaging of news used to sell consumers to advertisers.
Churchill's views have been called "radical," "repugnant" and "pro-terrorist" — by "objective" reporters working for major American news outlets, not just by right-wing attack dogs asking for the American Indian scholar's head on a plate. The Denver Post has published more than 50 articles on Churchill since Jan. 27. Here's a quote from his esset about Sept. 11 that you won't find in the Post;
"...vast legions of brown-skinned five-year-olds sat shivering in the dark, wide-eyed in horror, whimpering as they expired in the most agonizing ways imaginable."
Churchill is describing Iraq under United States sanctions, where 500,000 sick and hungry children perished from 1991 onward. The coverage
nationally follows the same framework: No substantive discussion of Churchill's critical analysis of U.S. foreign policy, his inflammatory statements taken for the most part out of context.
There was no CNN-Gallup poll asking Americans if they "feel sympathetic toward the
Iraqi children we starved to death."
In his letter to the College Republicans of the University of Colorado on Feb.1, Gov. Bill Owens stated that Churchill's writings are not only "outrageous and insupportable, they are at odds with the facts of history."
It's a revealing statement. Owens is essentially correct: Churchill's writings are at odds with the facts of history. The only question is, whose version of history?
Where were the media when the United States invaded South Vietnam in 1962? Noam Chomsky has been looking for a reference to this in mainstream American journalism for 40 years, to no avail.
The chemical weapons we used there in the war still kill thousands of Vietnamese every year. Children are born with birth defects, cancers, tumors and deformities — more lies of omission.
Where were they when President Reagan funneled money, weapons and supplies to right-wing death squads in Latin America in the 1980s?
Where are they now? They're outside Martha Stewart's estate, sipping hot chocolate.
The funny thing is, Ward Churchill has gotten real coverage. Sure, the media have brought him out to hang him from the highest tree, and any attempt to discuss his specific arguments is quickly shouted down.
But still, millions of viewers have seen him on "Paula Zahn Now" and "Real Time with Bill Maher."
Who knew?
Perhaps Churchill's inflammatory approach is the only way to get the message across. And the message is this: When the president of the United States goes on national television and says this is a peaceful nation, he's not being entirely truthful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
'Kansan' should honor its promise to cover club and intramural sports.
The University of Kansas women's lacrosse team finished the first half of its season this past weekend. This may have come as a surprise to some in the KU community, as none of the results from the team's first six games have appeared in the Kansan. Some years this lack of coverage is to be expected as staff sizes can shrink during the academic year.
This January however, the Kansan wrote that "one of the largest, most talented sports staffs in the newspaper's 100 years of production" would be giving attention to club sports. To be fair, the examples given were bowling and ice hockey, both of whom have gotten coverage.
But what about KU rugby's performance in the Big XII Championship down in Norman, Okla., in late February, or the Kansas men's lacrosse victory over K-State last Friday, Lindsey Johnson's 100th goal for the women's lacrosse team, results of the Mardi Gras Tournament for the Ultimate Frisbee team? All of these teams are not just getting together here and there to play catch.
They are traveling all over the midwest, competing against other universities — in some cases against varsity squads — representing the University of Kansas as true student-athletes. They deserve better.

Fail:
- Manure smell. The gardening on campus didn't help it smell any better. The pleasant look of new foliage in and around campus was met with a horrifying whiff of manure to passerbys. Life's just a huge game of give and take, isn't it? You bet it is.
+ Chris Kaufman, Richard Littrell and Andrew Wymore. Their friendly stunt at Sunday's basketball game with a sign proclaiming that Mizzou Arena was "Allen Fieldhouse East" was met with typical Mizzou-fan ugliiness. But one must respect the three guys who made signs and traveled to road games on their own coin.

Men's basketball. The Jayhawks' defeat to the Tigers showed that maybe Mizzou Arena isn't quite Allen Fieldhouse East after all. It especially didn't help Kaufman and Co.'s cause.

A RIGHT TURN
Intelligent design reasonable, but doesn't resemble science
YOUNG
FRIENDSHIP
On Feb.23, the final public debate was held in Topeka over the proposed science standards for the public schools in Kansas.I was fortunate enough to find a front row seat and hear the sometimes interesting, sometimes ludicrous arguments presented by both sides
VINCE MYERS
vmyers@kansan.com
Strangely, by the night's end, the only thing I'd decided was that I didn't like either side.
First, some background information: The debate over the science standards is between two factions. The first faction holds the position that evolution is the untouchable truth of biology.
It should not be taught alongside anything else and it should not be questioned in science classrooms.
The second faction supports the teaching of a theory known as intelligent design alongside the teaching of evolution in science classes. ID claims that evolution does not sufficiently explain the creation of life on earth.
The only reasonable explanation, then, is that an intelligent creator was behind the origin of life.
This faction maintains that evolution is an unproven theory and should not be disguised as truth for science classes. Therefore, ID should be taught as well, because it is just as reputable theory as evolution.
Intelligent design is a compelling theory. There are a lot of logical and scientific arguments that support it. I find it very convincing, but ID is simply not science.
Science deals with only the natural laws and assumes that those laws run the world with no outside help.
Intelligent design, regardless of how convincing its claims may be, claims that natural laws work with outside help. That claim takes ID out of the realm of science, and as such, it should not be taught in science classrooms.
On the other hand, I do understand the concerns of parents who don't want public schools to teach their children theories that don't conform to their faith. A lot of Darwinian thinkers use the theory to discredit religion.
Highly regarded British biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins has compared religion to a "mind virus" passed down through generations and
has marveled at religion's ability to make gullible believers question science. Such talk is not something religious people want their children hearing in a public school.
Here at the University of Kansas, we get to read chalkings by the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, featuring
the "Darwin fish" that state the society's noble goal of "combating creationism."
The existence of God cannot be proven or disproven by science.
Again, this use of Darwinism in an attempt to disprove religion is insulting to religious people, and it's just incorrect.
Many Christian religions believe that God works within the natural laws to create life. The idea that evolution crept along with God as a supervisor was even accepted by Pope John Paul II in a 1996 speech.
Indeed, to many people the idea that a divine hand guided evolution makes much more sense than the idea that blind luck and random chance guided it.
I think intelligent design supporters are less concerned with making the public school system teach ID than they are in making sure that schools aren't turning students into Darwinian atheists.
The Kansas Board of Education needs to reject the teaching of intelligent design in science classrooms.
Science education should be limited to science only, not theistic beliefs that extend outside the realm of the natural world.
At the same time, the Board needs to find a way to make sure that students understand that evolution is a very well supported scientific theory, much like the theory of gravity.
It is not classified as fact because, as biology professor Edward Wiley said, "No one has ever experienced evolution directly." But evolution is not perfect and there is still much about the origin of life that science cannot answer. Students who understand the ideas and limitations of evolution will be better equipped to fit the theory into their personal religious beliefs.
If they can't do that, they'll likely ignore evolution altogether. That would defeat the purpose of science education.

Israel admits illegal activity
BY KARIN LAUB
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israeli governments have helped build and expand 105 illegal West Bank settlement outposts in a flagrant violation of official policy and promises to the United States, an official inquiry found yesterday. This confirms long-standing complaints by the Palestinians.
However, the report stopped short of blaming Prime Minister Ariel Sharon or other leading politicians, who settlers said gave them support and money for outposts in the past decade.
The study recommended investigating civil servants involved in what was described as systematic deception by several government ministries that funneled large sums of public funds to the outposts.
Settlers established the outposts — usually starting with a few mobile homes, a generator and a water tank — to break up Palestinian areas and prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. In 1998, as foreign minister, Sharon exhorted them to seize West Bank hilltops and build more outposts.
Today, about 235,000 Israelis settlers live in some 150 veteran
settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. About 2,000 live in the outposts, according to the Israeli settlement watchdog group Peace Now. U.S. officials reiterated Wednesday that they expected Israel to dismantle the outposts immediately, in line with the internationally backed "road map" peace plan.
Welcome back
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice denied that she agreed to delay the dismantling of outposts until after the planned Gaza withdrawal this summer. However, it remains unclear how much pressure Washington will exert on Israel to remove the outposts quickly. Sharon is battling hardliners over the planned Gaza pullout, and the dismantling of outposts could increase his troubles at home.
However, Deputy Defense Minister Zeev Boim said Israeli troops would be busy in coming months evacuating Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip and four veteran West Bank settlements. "I don't think this report will be implemented immediately," he told Army Radio.
The 340-page study was written by former chief state prosecutor Talia Sasson, at Sharon's request.

Women, children in Iraqi mass grave
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraqi authorities found 41 decomposed bodies — some bullet-riddled, others beheaded — at sites near the Syrian border and south of the capital, and said yesterday they included women and children who may have been killed because insurgents thought their families were collaborating with U.S. forces.
In Baghdad, a suicide bomber driving a garbage truck loaded with explosives and at least one other gunman shot their way into a parking lot in an attempt to blow up a hotel used by Western contractors. At least four people, including the attackers and a guard, were killed.
The U.S. Embassy said 30 Americans were among 40 people wounded in the blast. No Americans were killed. In an Internet statement, al-Qaida in Iraq purportedly claimed responsibility for the attack on
the Sadeer hotel, calling it the "hotel of the Jews."
While Sunni Arab insurgents have repeatedly targeted Westerners in Iraq, Shiite Muslims, top Iraqi officials and civil servants, even Muslim women are no longer safe. —The Associated Press
Rebels to fight on after loss of leader
death of their leader, Aslan Maskhadov, after Russian special forces cornered him in an underground bunker deep within northern Chechnya.
Russian legislators hailed Maskhadov's killing as a sign that Russia was on the right track in its anti-terrorist campaign, as they call the fight against Islamic militants in Chechnya and neighboring regions.
MOSCOW — Chechen rebels vowed yesterday to carry on their separatist fight against Russia despite the
Russia's Federal Security Service chief announced Tuesday that Maskhadov had
been killed in a special operation in the town of Tolstoy-Yurt.
Russian television stations broadcast footage of a shirtless, gray-bearded corpse, and the rebel leader's envoy in London, Akhmed Zakayev, confirmed the 53-year-old guerrilla commander's death.
"When terrorists feel they are literally being trailed, fighting groups are systematically being detained, when in fact a top leader is eliminated, this creates an atmosphere in which there's no place for terrorist attacks," said Vladimir Vasilev, head of the security committee of the lower house of parliament.
But Chechen rebels vowed to continue fighting.
With Maskhadov's "violent death ... a new period has begun in the modern history of the Russian-Chechen military confrontation, which not only allows for no negotiations, but also for no end to the war," rebel ideologue Movladi Udugov wrote on a rebel Web site, Kavak-Zenter.

Opponent doesn't matter
Self: Either foe presents challenges
BY MIRANDA LENNING mlenning@kansan.com KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
The Kansas men's basketball team will pack up and board the bus to Kansas City, Mo., this afternoon with the goal of winning the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
But the Jayhawks' first opponent before cutting down the nets at Kemper Arena will be unknown until late tomorrow night. Kansas will face the winner of the Kansas State versus Texas A&M game, played at 6 tonight in Kemper Arena.
The jahawks have defeated both teams this year during the conference season — K-State twice. Kansas defeated both Texas A&M 65-60 and K-State 72-65 in Allen Fieldhouse. They also topped the Wildcats 74-65 in Manhattan.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't prefer to play one team over the
other, but he said the two teams played different styles of basketball.
Texas A&M plays zone and forces teams to make shots to beat them, he said. Teams also really have to be able to handle K-State's pressure, he said.
"Both will be really good for us to play for preparation, but I think both teams match up and could give us problems," he said.
Self said he liked the idea of not having a lot of time to prepare for the team's opponent because it would be good preparation for next week's NCAA Tournament.
The Aggies could be playing for a NCAA Tournament bid. he said.
"A&M has a ton to play for," he said. "I think that two wins in the tourney, especially if one of them is against Kansas, would probably get them in the tournament."
Because of the in-state rivalry, Self said that K-State also would have plenty of motivation.
"Both will be really

second round of the Big 12 Tournament.
The Aggies already have one victory against the Wildcats. They beat them 65-19 in College Station, Texas, on Jan. 22.
But Self said the opponent wasn't important. Playing well and securing a good NCAA Tournament seed was.
"My whole thing is, we better go play well, and if we play well, that will certainly enhance our chances of being a higher seed," Self said. "But if

A significant weekend
For most players and coaches, conference tournaments are just a bridge from the regular season to the NCAA Tournament. But this season, the Jayhawks have a lot to gain — and lose — from the outcome of their Big 12 Tournament games. Here are three things that can be determined from this weekend's results:
Where the lavahaws will be seeded. If the Jayhawks get to the Big 12 Championship game, their chances of being rewarded with a No. 1 seed increase significantly. Although not guaranteed, it is likely that Kansas would have to beat Oklahoma State again on Saturday to play in Sunday's Big 12 Championship game. If that happens, it would impress the tournament selection committee when it makes the bracket on Sunday.
- The health of Keith Langford. It is likely that Langford won't see the court in any of the Jayhawks remaining Big 12 games. Earlier this week, Self said it was more likely that he wouldn't play unless he was at least 80 percent. Langford has been receiving treatment all week, but his status for the weekend is day-to-day. Don't be surprised if Langford sits out this weekend to get more healing time for next week's NCAA Tournament
The Jayhawks' momentum going into March Madness. The NCAA Tournament is all about hot teams. The one-loss-and-you're-out dynamics of the tournament favors teams that have momentum going into the tournament. After losing four of their last six regular-season games, the Jayhawks didn't finish the season with the amount of momentum that they would have liked. However, if they can put together a string of victories in the Big 12 Tournament, that could provide them with the necessary momentum to be successful in the NCAA Tournament.

Jayhawks looking ahead

Less than 48 hours after the Kansas women's basketball team's season-ending loss to Missouri in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament, the Jayhawks' attention has already turned to next season.
After finishing eighth in the Big 12 Conference this season when coaches predicted them to finish 11th, the Jayhawks are optimistic that next season will be special for the women's basketball program.
The Jahawah will return the team members responsible for more than 80 percent of their scoring from this season and more than 82 percent of their rebounding. They return four starters and could benefit from a year in coach Bonnie Henrickson's system.
The optimism for next year's team is pinned on two players, junior forward Crystal Kemp and junior guard Erica Hallman. Kemp, who averaged 13.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this season, will enter next season as one of the best senior post players in the Big 12 Conference. Hallman will return for her senior season after she averaged 13.1 points and a team high 5.1 assists per game this year.
"The fact that me and Erica will both be seniors is a big plus," Kemp said. "We know what to expect and how to lead the team. We have learned from other seniors that we have played with, and know what it takes to win."
Henrickson, The Kansas City Star's choice for Honorable Mention Big 12 Women's Coach of the Year, said she was pleased with the progress of her team this season, but she said team members needed to work hard in the offseason if they were going to compete next season.
"We're very proud, as a staff, of what our kids did this season," Henrickson said. "The growth we made this season was important for us. We understand as a group, though, that we need the same amount of growth next year that we had this year from the kids that are returning."
A key next season will be the addition of Henrickson's first recruiting class. Four new faces three freshmen and a junior college transfer — will join the women's team this summer and will do their part to help Kansas reach the post-season.
Jennifer Orgas, a 6-foot-2 forward from Omaha, Neb., was the first recruit to commit to Henrickson and her staff.
Orgas will provide some much-needed depth at the post position for Kansas. The Jayhawks had only four post players this season. A senior at Sccutt Catholic High School. Orgas averaged 13 points and seven rebounds per game as a junior last season.
"She believed in us right away," Henrickson said. "She will provide us with a strong body in the post with her tenacity and work ethic."
The other three signes are all guards, including Ivana Catic, a 5-foot-8 guard from Wheeling, W.V
Catic is originally from Zrenkanik, Serbia and Montenegro, and before arriving in the United States, she played for the Serbia and Montenegro Junior National and National teams.
"We're thrilled to have Ivana join our program," Henrickson said. "She brings enthusiasm and has a great personality. When she visited during Late Night and played with our kids, everyone told us that we needed her because she was a great leader. Her international experience will also be a huge asset."
The other two recruits are
Shaquina Mosley, a 5-foot-6 guard from Lancaster, Calif., and Sophronia Sallard, a 5-foot-10 guard/forward from Syracuse, N.Y. Mosley is transferring from Central Arizona College where she averaged 15.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists and led the Vaqueros to a 33-3 record during her freshman season.
The women's team is reflecting on a successful season and already looking toward next fall.

Keith Langford wants to play tomorrow.
Save it for the NCAA Tournament
"All the players want to play," Self said. "Especially if they are seniors facing the last few games of their careers."
But Self can't let his loyalty to Langford get in the way of logic. Langford should not, under any circumstances, play in this weekend's Big 12 Conference Tournament.
Coach Bill Self knows the senior guard wants to play and the decision he makes could determine which I-70 exit Langford spends Final Four weekend at.
Self knows this. He said Langford's outlook for tomorrow was "very doubtful."
If No. 9 Kansas wins the Big 12 Tournament — a goal that would likely involve defeating No. 10 Oklahoma State on Saturday and No. 17 Oklahoma on Sunday — it will probably be the fourth No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Kentucky, which will play this weekend in the weaker Southeastern Conference Tournament, will likely be the top No. 2 seed.
We saw on Sunday how inep the Jayhawks can be without Langford slashing to the basket. He needs to drive at full tilt during the NCAA Tournament and he can only do that with two strong ankles. He shouldn't risk that ability this weekend. The conference tournament simply doesn't matter enough.
If the Jayhawks lose tomorrow or Saturday, they will still have a chance to be the top No. 2 seed, with the Wildcats taking the last No. 1 seed. In reality, there is almost no difference between the fourth No. 1 seed and the first No. 2 seed.
The NCAA committee uses an S-curve to decide seedings. In other words, the top-ranked No. 1 seed will play the last-ranked No. 2 seed. The last-ranked No. 1 seed will play the top-ranked No. 2 seed. Kansas is likely to be opposite Kentucky regardless of this weekend's results. The path to that Elite Eight match-up will be a little tougher for the No. 2 seed. But it'll be much easier with Langford at 100 percent.
Of course, losing tomorrow would give the team its fifth loss in seven games — hardly the type of momentum a championship contender needs to make a six-game NCAA Tournament run. But if Langford plays this weekend, this队 will be the same as the one that dropped three straight last month, except the starting lineup will only have nine healthy ankles. Langford's absence is a chance for someone to fill Langford's ever-changing shoes and get much-needed playing time.

Royals owe victory to pitchers
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jose Lima pitched out of trouble in each of his three innings to lead the Kansas City Royals over the Seattle Mariners 6-0 yesterday.
Lima, the Royals' only significant free-agent signee this offseason, gave up five singles and walked three. Lima used double plays in the first and third innings to stop Seattle rallies.
The Mariners loaded the bases with one out in the second, but Lima struck out Jamal Strong and retired ichiro Suzuki on a grounder to first baseman Mike Sweeney to end the inning.
"I got the bases loaded, but that didn't bother me," Lima said. "I'm a better pitcher when I'm in trouble."
Rookie right-hander Denny Bautista replaced Lima and limited the Mariners to one hit over three innings while striking out four.
The Royals sent eight men to the plate in a four-run first off Mariners rookie right-hander Felix Hernandez. Two of the runs were unearned after first baseman Richie Sexson made an error, the first of four Seattle miscues.
Angel Berroa, the 2003 AL Rookie of the Year, led the Royals with three hits — two doubles — two RBIs and two runs scored.

Kemper's last stand for Big 12
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Some coaches like Kansas City best while others prefer rotating locations
BY KELLI ROBINETT

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After a twoyear vacation, the Big 12 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament returns to Kansas City. Mo., today.
Kemper Arena used to play host to the Big Eight Men's Basketball Tournament, but when Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Baylor joined the league, southern division teams lobbed for the tournament site to be moved.
Kansas City held the first six Big 12 Tournaments, but then it was moved to American Airlines Arena in Dallas.
"We are excited to be back in Kansas City." Nebraska coach Barry Collier said. "Not only for Husker fans, but for the people in Kansas City as well. The people here put on a great tournament and provide a great atmosphere for our athletes."
With the tournament back in northern territory, coaches and players used media day yesterday to voice their opinions on where the tournament should be held in the future.
The atmosphere that Kemper Arena provides is unique. History and tradition run through every room in the stadium.
Both the men's and women's Final
Fours have been held here, and so have countless NCAA regional and sub-regional tournaments.
It used to be home to the Kansas City Kings, of the NBA, and the Kansas City Scouts, of the NHL.
Fans have traveled from all across the country to watch games here, and players always seem to be greeted with open arms.
"Kansas City has always put on one of the best tournaments in the country." Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie said. "The hospitality is unmatched."
Gillispie said his only previous trip to Kemper Arena came as an assistant coach at Baylor, and his greatest regret was only getting to stay for a day. The Bears lost their opening round game that year.
Iowa State senior forward Jared Homan agreed with Gillispie, because Iowa State fans come to Kansas City in droves, but only a few showed up in Dallas.
"It's a great place to play," he said. "Especially if you're an Iowa Stater. We travel very well to this venue since we are so close."
If fan support were the only thing that went into selecting a host site, Kansas City might win every year, but that simply isn't the case.
The Big 12 championship football game rotates venues, and a number of
After serving as the site of the first six Big 12 Conference tournaments, Kemper Arena will play host to its seventh and last Big 12 tournament starting today. Though a new arena in Kansas City, Mo., may bring the tournament back to the city, the teams will meet elsewhere for the next two years.

cities want a piece of the Big 12 Tournament, like they do the football championship game.
"I think Dallas, Oklahoma City, San Antonio and Kansas City would all be very good sites," Gillispie said. "You'd always like it to be close to home, but not everyone is always going to be happy with the placement."
Another reason the tournament was moved away from Kansas City is because Kemper Arena has become old and outdated.
The outer concourse is too narrow and concession stand lines are always backed up. Birds always seem to be flying around the top of the stadium, and the atmosphere outside the arena does not compete with Dallas' West End district.
The NCAA said it would no longer hold a sub-regional event in Kemper Arena, and the Big 12 Tournament is already committed to Dallas in 2006 and Oklahoma City in 2007.
To solve this problem, Kansas City plans to build Sprint Arena, which will be a state-of-the-art facility located in the heart of downtown.
Rumors have spread that once Sprint Arena is completed, the Big 12 Tournament will return to Kansas City for good.
"The state of Texas did a great job with the tournament the last couple of years," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said. "But I think Kansas City is the home of the Big 12 tournament."
Only time will tell if that kind of talks turns out to be a reality, but most coaches are in favor of moving the tournament site each year.
"I think the way it has rotated so far has worked," Gillispie said. "There's really no reason to mess with it."

Tennis team sees Nebraska as challenge Huskers record intimidates despite last year's Hawk victory
BY RAHUL SHARMA

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Cornhuskers will enter the match ranked 38th in the country, according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
The Kansas tennis team, which is 2-7 overall, 1-1 Big 12 Conference, will face Nebraska, with a 12-2 overall, 3-2 Big 12 record, at noon Saturday at the Robinson courts in Lawrence.
If the Jayhawks hope to establish any sort of success this weekend, they will need the help of emerging doubles star Ashley Filberth.
"It is all up to us willing to stay out there for five hours," Filberth, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said. "To beat a team like Nebraska, we are going to have to have focus throughout the entire match."
One advantage that rests in favor for the Jayhawks this weekend. is the most recent meeting between both schools, which saw Kansas coming out victorious last spring.
But Kansas has lost seven of its last eight matches.
After losing seven straight matches, the Jayhawks ended their dry spell with a victory against Iowa State Saturday.
"The way we won was a step in the right direction," Filberth said. "Even though we lost to
In fact, the Jayhawks were flawless, winning every match.
iowa the next day, there is no feel of defeat in us."
Before the victory in Ames, Iowa, last week, the team held a meeting.
"We got our thoughts in order and we're all in a much better mind frame now," Filberth said.
Kansas has won two of the last three doubles points, with victories against Utah and Iowa State.
Filberth has vastly improved the level of her game, especially in doubles, assistant coach Frank Polito said. "She is one of our best doubles players on our team," he said.
Polito said he commended Filberth on her movement on the court and her shot selection.
But Filberth is very open about the improvements she needs to make to be a more effective player.
In doubles, Filberth and junior Christine Skoda are 4-2 this year, including a victory against No.13 Texas.
"Something I need to work on is playing more offensive," Filberth said. "Sometimes I'm too defensive. I need to dictate points better."
Filberth said she attributed her serves and volleys strengths in her doubles game.
Filberth's versatility has added to her overall presence on the team. As a freshman,
"I feel more confident up at the net than I do at the baseline." Filberth said.

Having made a huge impact already in doubles. Filberth is constantly making strides and is gradually becoming more aggressive.
And that's exactly what Polito wants from the players, he said.
"We need to play a more aggressive style," Polito said. "We need to finish points at the net."
On Saturday, Kansas will be tested throughout the day against a talented Nebraska squad.
"Last year, we beat them," Filberth said. "I think we are ready for the challenge. We are looking forward to it."
The match against Nebraska will mark the first match of the season at the Robinson courts.

Ashley Filberth, sophomore tennis player, lunges to make a shot. The Kansas City native specializes in doubles play, and coach Frank Polito said her biggest strengths were agility and shot selection. The Kansas tennis team will face Nebraska at noon Saturday. The Jayhawks defeated the Cornhuskers when they met last spring.

Device repels sharks as it reassures divers
B
A scuba diver prepares to go under sea with a Shark Shield. When a shark swims into the device's range, an electrical pulse causes spasms in the shark, driving it away from the diver. The shield also aids surfers, especially those who visit the shark-plentiful waters on the West Coast.

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 spelunker, The University Daily Kansan would like to share your story. Please contact Caleb Regan by calling the Kansan-sports desk at 864-4858 or by e-mailing him at cregam@kansan.com.
But new technology aims to help those terrified of shark attacks, though experts say it will benefit surfers and commercial divers more.
The fear of coming into contact with a shark can make some leery about braving the ocean.
In March 2002, Sea Change Technology of Adelaide, Australia, completed the first manufacture and distribution of the Shark Shield. The shield costs $469 and establishes a barrier around divers, swimmers and surfers using electronic pulses that cause discomfort to the sensory system and muscles of a shark.
All sharks have a sensory system on the side of their snouts. The system of gel-filled pores detects electronic pulses in the open water. Sharks detect food this way because the heartbeat of a seal, fish or human emits a certain frequency of electric pulse through the water.
The Natal Sharks Board, which developed the precursor to the Shark Shield, found that a certain electrical pulse causes discomfort and spasms to the muscles of sharks.
Dave Bach, dive master and director of training at the Scuba
Shack, 1045 New Jersey St., said all that was left for Sea Change to do to Shark Shield was to create a device easily equipped for ocean-going people that would create this barrier of the determined frequency.
"It's comparable to a shock collar for dogs. After a shark has been shocked once, he's not going to penetrate that field again."
Eric Schaumburg, Prairie Village senior, said he'd be more likely to try scuba diving with the new technology.
Fear of coming into contact with sharks has kept prospective divers from braving the open water. Bach said those nervous feelings usually fade with the first dive.
"I would like the idea of encountering and seeing sharks if I felt well protected," he said.
"New divers have fears of the unknown," he said. "But once you get down there, it's so inspiring and beautiful most people I've trained lose the uneasiness."
As for Shark Shield's use for recreational scuba divers, he said he thinks it is unnecessary.
"There is such a huge misconception with sharks created by Hollywood. In warm waters down around the Bahamas and Florida, you don't see shark attacks happening to divers."
The shark attacks, he said,
usually come from great whites
and tiger sharks in colder waters
along the West Coast.
Bach said he would never use the device on a recreational dive.
BASEBALL
"For commercial divers, who are working and not necessarily paying attention to their surroundings, or for surfers, who have the tendency to look like seals from below, the Shark Shield is great," he said. "But for recreational scuba divers, the idea is usually to encounter and swim around with these creatures rather than to repel them."

Rain cancels game, not pitcher's play
JUPITER, Fla. — When the St. Louis Cardinals' spring training game against the New York Mets rained out yesterday, Jeff Suppan simply took his act indoors.
The right-hander threw a 60 pitch simulated game in an indoor batting cage at the team's complex, simulating almost everything.
Suppan did his normal pregame stretching routine, wore his uniform and threw warmup pitches between innings everything but the roar of the crowd to make his work day more productive.
The lack of an opponent and audience were clear drawbacks. "Being on a mound with adrenaline, I missed that," Suppan said.
"I wore my uniform so it's as real as I can make it, because every game is important in spring training," he said.
The Associated Press
Cardinal pitcher throws last pitch
JUPITER, Fla. — Rick Ankiel couldn't find the plate, and now he won't take the mound.
He surprised the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday when he turned his back on a pitching career derailed by injuries and record wildness. He will try to come back as an outfielder.
"The frustration that built up, it seems like it was really eroding my spirit and starting to affect my personality off the field," Ankiel said. "It just became apparent that it was time for me to move on and pursue becoming an outfielder."
Manager Tony La Russa and general manager Walt Jocketty said they didn't try to persuade Ankiel to stick with pitching.
"Rick's gone through a lot of tough times," La Russa said.

Victory puts Baylor in semifinals today
JUFU
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — No. 6 Baylor moved into the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament with a 70-52 victory over Missouri yesterday.
Chameka Scott hit four three-pointers and scored 16 points for the Bears (25-3), who will play Texas Tech today.
Missouri (11-18) turned the ball over 21 times and shot 35 percent from the field (18-for-52). They were also 12-for-22 at the free throw line.
Missouri scored first, but Baylor used two 9-0 runs in the first seven minutes to quickly build a 22-8 lead.
The Associated Press
The Bears also capitalized on Missouri's 12 turnovers and a five-minute drought midway through the first half.
Freshman forward C.J. Giles (left) and sophomore guard Nick Bahc celebrate a three-point shot made during the game against Kansas State on March 2. Coach Bill Self said in a press conference Tuesday that Giles would probably be starting now if he hadn't been out six weeks earlier this season because of an ankle injury.
Texas Tech moves on in Tournament
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Texas Tech made two free throws with 2.7 seconds left and a last-second shot rimmed out to lift No. 14 Texas Tech to a 61-59 victory yesterday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament.
Alesha Robertson and Chelsey Dabbs each had 13 points to lead the Lady Raiders (22-6), who face No. 6 Baylor in today's semifinal. Erin Grant added 12 points and nine assists.
Tied at 59 with under five seconds to go, Grant drove the lane but was fouled. After inbounding the ball to the post, Robertson was fouled while shooting and sank both free throws for the winning margin.

that we didn't finish the season as strong as we would like."

- Freshman C.J. Giles hasn't seen much court time since injuring his ankle on Jan. 9
Kansas basketball notes
It's nobody's fault (Giles) got hurt. It's not his fault. He has come back and he has done everything we've asked him to do. He is just the odd man out right now because of health"
Bill Self
Kansas men's basketball coach
"It's nobody's fault he got hurt. It isn't his fault. He has come back and he has done everything we've asked him to do." Self said. "But when you are practicing three times a week for an hour and 45 minutes, it's not like, 'OK, C.J., we're going to spend the next 30 minutes getting C.J. ready.' That is not how it works."
against Kentucky. The ankle injury came at an impromptu time, as it has hurt his ability to play his way back into the line-up. Self said Giles would probably be starting if he hadn't sat out for six weeks with the stress fracture.
Self said Giles needed to get more repetition to be effective in the lajhawks' offense.
"We've talked about that a thousand times," Self said. "But he is going to be a really good player. He is just the odd man out right now because of health."
◆ There is a possibility that three ACC teams—North Carolina, Duke and Wake
Forest—could receive No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
Though he did not disagree with the possibility, Self said he thought it wasn't likely.
♦ The Jayhawks are likely to be seeded in Oklahoma City, Okla., for the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Two years ago, the Jayhawks visited Oklahoma City as a first-round site and brought along a herd of Jayhawks fans.
"You look at it, and all three of those teams have done a lot this year," he said. "I don't think that will happen. I don't know if it should. I don't know if you finish third in the league, if you should get a No. 1 seed."
Last year, they played the first round in Kansas City, Mo., which gave them a home-court advantage.
Self said he would like the Jayhawks to play the first round in Oklahoma City because it would allow the fans to follow them. But he said it wasn't as big of a deal as playing in Kansas City, Mo., last year.
"From a fans standpoint and a financial standpoint with families, we would like to play in Oklahoma City," Self said. "We would welcome that and be excited about that."
♦ Self replaced sophomore guard J.R. Giddens in the starting lineup on Sunday with senior guard Mike Lee. It is likely, though, that both guards will start tomorrow. In the absence of Keith Langford, Self said it was likely that Giddens and Lee would fill in the starting lineup. Junior guard Jeff Hawkins also could see significant minutes.

Even if Keith comes to Kemper Arena tomorrow running faster, cutting more sharply and jumping higher than he ever has before, he should not play. There is too much to gain from rest and too much to lose from "tweaking" his ankle.
Besides, Self said he expected the team to win the Big 12 Tournament without Langford. "Just because you have players that are

At the beginning of the season, the team set a goal to win the National Championship. It would sure help to have Langford available.

BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Roy Williams first saw the seventh grader from Leavenworth, he made a point to introduce himself to Wayne Simien.
It was certainly one of the most fruitful.
And on that day nine years ago, the former Kansas coach began what might be the longest recruiting period of any player in Jayhawk history.
By the time Simien was a high school senior and widely recognized as one of the finest prospects in the area, he had attended far too many Roy Williams basketball camps for any other school in the country to stand a chance of signing him away from Kansas.
Now nearly 6-foot-9, Simien is concluding one of the finest careers in school history. And in a year when the Big 12 was bristling with talent, Simien was the unanimous choice as The Associated Press' Big 12 player of the year. Every member of a panel of 24 sports writers who regularly cover the league gave their vote to the soft-spoken and deeply religious senior.
Almost equally effective under the basket as he was on the perimeter, Simien led the Big 12 this year in both scoring (19.4 points per game) and rebounding (11.1). He was the only Big 12 player to average a double-double.
"He is the best player in the country," Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan said.
Another runaway winner was Oklahoma's Taj Gray for AP Big
12 newcomer of the year. The 6-8 junior averaged 14.7 points and 7.8 rebounds for the Sooners, who tied Kansas for the Big 12 regular-season title. He was also second in the league with a field goal percentage of .570. The panel gave him every vote but one, which went to teammate Terrell Everett.
Chosen as AP Big 12 freshman of the year was Texas point guard Daniel Gibson, who polled 14 votes to 10 for Baylor
guard Aaron Bruce. Gibson was eighth in the league in assists, fifth in steals and vital in helping the Longhorns stay afloat despite the loss of key players to injuries and academic concerns.
Simien is certain to get consideration for national player of the year. He had perhaps his finest outing in what may have been the best game of the Big 12 season, a two-point Kansas win over Oklahoma State last month. In that thriller, he had 12 rebounds and a career-high 32 points.
"We kept throwing bodies at him and he kept hitting," said Oklahoma State's Joey Graham, who along with Simien was an unanimous first-team AP All-Big 12 selection.
"He is the best big man in the country," Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said that night. "He is a great basketball player."
Two of his best games this season came against Colorado, when he totaled 48 points and 28 rebounds.
The 6-9 Gray came into the league as one of the most sought-after junior college stars in the country and was never a disappointment as the Sooners went on to capture a piece of their first league championship since 1989.
"Wayne Simien is one of my all-time favorite players," Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said. "I wish we didn't have to play them. I really, really like him."
"He's expanded his game offensively. I think he did better offensively early than we anticipated," Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said. "Taj has been our best player. Taj has been the man for us."

Diver plunges into comeback

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Jenny Roberts, St. Louis sophomore, performs a dive in Robinson Center on Monday afternoon. Roberts, a member of the Kansas diving team, was preparing for the NCAA Zone D Regional Diving Meet, March 11 to 13 in College Station, Texas. Divers compete to qualify for national championships at zone meet.
Jenny Roberts has a lot to be proud of as the Zone D Regional Diving Meet approaches tomorrow.
Roberts is coming off an injury that caused her to sit out her senior year of high school and take a redshirt with the Kansas swimming and diving team her freshman year of college. During a high school diving meet, Roberts was completing a back two-and-a-half dive when she came out wrong. She had several back injuries that halted her diving career for two years.
This year, Roberts has made a comeback in the college diving scene. She is one of three divers on the team to qualify for the Zone D meet, an accomplishment she is proud of.
"I'm really excited," Roberts said. "That's what this year has been all about."
Sophomore Shelby Noonan and junior Casey Topol also qualified, but Roberts will be the only Jayhawk at the meet in College Station, Texas because of Noonan's recent injury at the Big 12 Conference Swimming and Diving Championships. Topol will not attend for academic reasons.
Roberts could receive a bid to the NCAA Championships next week. Diving coach Eric Elliot explained that usually the top five winners are invited.
"I'd be thrilled to see Jenny place in the top 12," Elliot said. "Top five would be great, but she'd have to be completely on, and hit everything."
The Zone D meet is the only road to the NCAA Championships for lower Midwest region collegiate divers. Roberts said that it
would be huge if she qualified for NCAA Championships, but she didn't think it was likely.
"I'm really excited," Roberts said, "but this is more of an experience."
Elliot also explained that this meet is a diver's one shot to make it to the NCAA Championships, and divers had to qualify for the Zone D meet first.
Roberts said that getting to experience the meet was an accomplishment in itself because of her high school injury, and coach Elliot agreed.
"Of course we want a good performance," Elliot said, "but I want her to have fun, and to get the experience so that she'll have it for next year.
Although the meet starts tomorrow, Roberts will not be performing until Saturday, when she will compete in the one-meter competition.
She will complete six dives.
"I'm a better diver because of my injury
mentally physically and personally. Jenny Roberts Freshman diver
Two of the dives will be front dives, two will be back dives, one will be inward and one will be a reverse dive. The divers' scores are compiled by multiplying the judges' scores by the degree of difficulty of the dive.
Elliot said that there were always quality divers at the Zone D meet, but each year new divers came to the meet.
"At this level, anybody could get there," Elliot said. "but you

have to have a good meet."
"It's really disappointing about Shelby," Elliot said, "because she was diving really well."
He said that this is the first year that there have been a significant number of spots available in the Zone D meet and he wished more Jayhawks could have taken advantage of the spots.
Injuries aside, Elliot said he was looking forward to the meet tomorrow, as was Roberts.
She said she was excited to be making her debut in championship diving after her two-year injury.
"I'm a better diver because of my injury," Roberts said, "mentally, physically, and personally."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
NEW YORK — Jose Canseco, Jason Giambi, Mark McGwire and four other baseball players were subpoenaed yesterday to testify before a congressional committee investigating the sport's steroids policy.
Canseco, Fehr and Manfred had agreed to testify. Manfred will speak on behalf of baseball commissioner Bud Selig.
Curt Schilling, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and Frank Thomas also were subpoenaed to appear at the March 17 hearing of the House Government Reform Committee along with players' association head Donald Fehr, baseball executive vice presidents Rob Manfred and Sandy Alderson and San Diego general manager Kevin Towers.
"The committee will conduct a thorough, fair, and responsible investigation. It is important the American people know the facts on baseball's steroid scandal. And it is important that all Americans, especially children, know about the dangers of drug use. We need to better understand the steps MLB is taking to get a handle on the steroid issue, and whether news of those steps is reaching America's youth."
"The remaining witnesses, however, made it clear—either by flatly rejecting the invitation to testify or by ignoring our repeated attempts to contact them—they had no intention of appearing before the committee," committee chairman Rep. Tom Davis and Rep. Henry Waxman, the ranking Democrat, said in a statement.
Stanley Brand, a lawyer for the commissioner's office, wrote to the committee on Tuesday
saying the hearing and what he termed "overly expansive" document requests "present significant constitutional and institutional concerns about the underlying validity and proprietary of the committee's inquiry,
"It is not clear to us how the committee's jurisdiction encompasses the privately negotiated drug policy." Brand wrote, adding that the committee was requesting "highly private and sensitive information."
"The right to the privacy of this information outweighs any asserted interest in the 'health problems stemming from the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs,'" Brand wrote.
Brand said the committee request went to the unprecedented and destructive length of seeking actual testing results and showed no consideration for the legitimate privacy concerns of MLB, the MLBPA, individual players and other members of the bargaining unit.
Another congressional hearing on steroids is scheduled for tomorrow, when the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee will hear from witnesses, including labor lawyers from the commissioner's office and the NFL, and representatives of the NCAA and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
"We're trying to get to the bottom of the steroid problem," Rep. Cliff Stearns said.
Stearns, chairman of the House Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection subcommittee, said Selig was invited to speak at the hearing but declined.
"We're trying to understand whether legislation is needed," he said. "We're obviously disappointed that Selig did not want to show."

Teen suspected in break-ins

Five Colony Woods residents report vehicle burglaries and vandalism
Lawrence police arrested a 16-year-old male in connection with five automobile burglaries in and around Colony Woods apartments yesterday morning, according to Lawrence police reports.
Three of the vehicles involved belong to KU students.
One of those students was Nicole Trapp, Leavenworth sophomore.
She reported an unknown amount of damage to her car and a $250 MP3 player and an $80 radar detector stolen from her car Wednesday night.
Trapp said that she had never had anything like this happen to her since she moved into Colony Woods, 1301 W. 24th St., in July 2004.
Her personal safety was never an issue while living at the apartment complex, Trapp said.
"I don't feel unsale here," she said. "This just makes me angry."
Fred Marti, Colony Woods resident, reported the burglaries to Lawrence police around 11:50 p.m. Wednesday.
He told police he saw people walking in the parking lot checking the locks on car doors, said Dan Ward, Lawrence police department.
Police arrived shortly after the call. They identified and arrested one suspect at 1:13 a.m. yesterday.
Ward said he thought other people were involved, but police
had not identified or located them.
Most of the burglarized vehicles were not locked, Ward said.
All items taken from the vehicles totaled about $1,000. Unknown amounts of damage to the vehicles were also reported, according to the police reports.
Colony Woods, along with other Lawrence apartment complexes, have tried to educate its residents about the importance of personal safety, said Gina Olinger, Colony Woods manager.
A Colony Woods security officer patrols the apartment complex four times a night in a marked vehicle. Olinger said.
Later this fall, Colony Woods might have a "courtesy officer" who lives at the apartment complex. Olinger said,
The officer, from the Lawrence police department, would likely begin living at Colony Woods later this fall, Olinger said.
"Residents are encouraged to keep their cars locked at all
times and are advised not to leave valuable items in their cars." Oliner said.
A second KU student reported $50 worth of damage to his wind-shield, also from Colony Woods, according to the police reports.
A third KU student reported that nothing was stolen, but that her car had been burglarized in the 1500 block of W.25th Court, south of Colony Woods, according to police reports.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg answers law students questions yesterday in Green Hall, east of the Burge Union. President Bill Clinton appointed Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993. She was the second woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court. Sandra Day O'Connor was the first.
Justice reflects on career, life Student says justice is 'liberal'
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
"If you were in an exam and nature called you had to make a mad dash to the bathroom and get back to the exam in time," she said.
When Ruth Bader Ginsburg attended Harvard Law School in the 1950s, she was one of nine women in a first-year class of about 500 male law students. Pressure of studying in a maldominated environment wasn't the most difficult part of her education, she said. It was the lack of women restrooms.
Ginsburg is the second woman to serve as a justice of the United States Supreme Court. She spoke yesterday to KU students and faculty at the School of Law.
Ginsburg talked about her experience as a Supreme Court justice and the power of the court.
When one student asked if the court had gone beyond its constitutional powers in recent years, Ginsburg answered with a definite "no." The court does not control the issues or cases it must rule on, she said.
Carly Farrell, Overland Park second-year law student, said she was inspired by Ginsburg's ability to balance an intense legal career and a family.
"We're like firefighters," she said. "We don't make the issues, we just deal with them."
"She is the second female justice ever and she has still managed to have two kids, be a mom and have a husband," Farrell said. "She is very grounded."
Ginsburg's visit gave students an opportunity to humanize a justice who writes much of the material they study, said Stephen McAllister, former dean of the law school.
"It's important for them to understand that they're not infallible," McAlister said. "But that they're not evil either. They're good people trying to do their best."
Ginsburg brought a different perspective from other Justices who have visited the law school in the last few years, Farrell said. Justice Clarence Thomas has visited the school two times since Farrell has been there. Farrell said she considered him to be a conservative justice.
Lawrence third-year law student Misikir Tilahun said Ginsburg had a different perspective and interpretation of the law than Thomas.
"Our school has gotten a lot of slack lately for being onesided." Farrell said. "But the dean is bringing in one of the most liberal justices on the bench."
Ginsburg was the 10th Supreme Court justice to visit the University. She was the fifth to visit since 2000.
"She will strike a good balance with the other justices we've heard." Tilahun said.

[the fakebook] Web site features fraudulent profiles
By Neil Mulka
nmulka@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Bill Self, Martha Stewart, Mark Mangino and Axl Rose all have one thing in common: A profile on thefacebook.com, the popular social-networking Web site for college students.
But, wait a minute, Axl, a high school dropout, never went to college — unless he attended Jack Black's School of Rock.
And Martha was is prison when the profile was created on Feb. 21.
Go to the global search option on thefacebook, and you can find other fake profiles from about 400 schools.
For example, "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff has eight listings. Brad Pitt has more than a dozen.
Making fake profiles breaks the terms of agreement on thefacebook's Web site.
However, thefacebook isn't proactive about removing fake profiles, said Chris Hughes, thefacebook.com spokesman.
"If we don't receive any complaints about a fake profile, we usually aren't forced to take them off the network." Hughes said.
David Peal, Leawood senior, made a Bill Self profile as a tribute to the men's basketball coach.
"I knew it would be a big hit at Kansas," Peal said. "I thought it would pay homage to him because he's our basketball coach at one of the greatest basketball schools of the country."
As of 10 a.m., yesterday, Self's profile had more than 1,500 friends from universities throughout the nation. More than 1,300 of them came from the University of Kansas.
The profile has been up since Feb. 6, 2005.
"When I first was making this, I wondered if I could get in trouble for this," Peal said. "The only person who would care would be Bill Self. I tried to make it as well-reflecting of him as possible."
Because thefacebook.com is a publishing medium, there is potential for defamation, said Mike Kautsch, professor of law and director of media law and policy.
Defamation is communicating false information to third parties about a person that injures the reputation of or deters others from associating with that person.
Examples of defamatory statements would be saying that someone is known as promiscuous or a serial shoplifter, Kautsch said.
The person making a defamation charge would have to prove that the statement is defamatory to a reasonable person within the publication.
The Self profile includes his birthday and the phone number for the KU basketball office.
"You have to ask, 'Would you take this seriously?' he said.

Editor's Note
1
I must admit I was oblivious to the Croc trend until a few weeks ago when I read over this issue's cover story. Since then I've been seeing
them everywhere, including on our Jayplay designer Emily Homer. She says she bought her pair last spring because of a recommendation from a fellow "big-footed friend." Excited we were taking an interest in her footwear, she quickly passed us her shoe so we could feel for ourselves how lightweight they were. "They're like wearing slippers," she gushed.
The trend seems to have a love-them-or-hate-them following, as you can read on page 10. Followers are always enthusiastic to talk about the shoes' many attributes. Homer says she likes them because they don't make your feet stink, they're durable and they come in bright colors. And if you don't think they're colorful enough, you can always switch the straps with a friend to put together a two-toned creation. Critics say, among other things, that they're unattractive boating shoes worn in the middle of Kansas. Or as my friend Steve says, the trend's just "a Croc of shit."
As warm weather approaches and I evaluate my sad sandal collection, I too feel the need to choose a side on the Croc debate. And if you care at all about the future of footwear trends, you will too.

Food lessons for the sick
Chicken noodle soup is great, but there's more
Stay healthy
One of the best ways to avoid getting the flu is to get vaccinated, says Kim Ens a nurse at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, 200 Maine St., Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department are offering flu vaccines. The price at Watkins is $25 and you can call 864-9570 to make an appointment. You can even go for the non-needle option with the new nasal-spray flu vaccine called FluMist, also available at Watkins.
It's
It's the sneezing, coughing, cold chills, nausea and fever feeling that has really gotten you down. That's the flu season, my friends, and it has hit our town hard. The flu is widespread in Lawrence and all of northeast Kansas, says Kim Ens, a nurse at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. So, if you are feeling a bit under the weather and your mom is not dropping in to take care of you anytime soon, here's a little lesson on how to take care of yourself when it comes to food.
Foods to Indulge
When Kate Lorenz, Lawrence senior, gets the flu, she reaches for the saltines and Sprite. And she's right to do so. Watkins Memorial Health Center dietitian Ann Chapman, says that simple, plain foods are good for when you're down with the flu because they're easy to digest. And when you're sick, the last thing you want to do is cook, so Chapman suggests foods like oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, plain pastas, saltines and toast. When it comes to a fever, Chapman says to push the fluids because the body is dehydrated. If you have a stomachache, Chapman says to be careful about what you eat. Try a Popsicle, ginger ale, fruit juice or diluted Gatorade. Just be sure you're not giving your stomach too much sugar, which could make you more nauseated.
Foods to Avoid
Remember, if it doesn't feel good going down, it's probably not good for you. Chapman says that dairy products, red meats and alcohol need to stay on hold when you're not feeling well because they are hard for the body to digest.
Some Extra Tips
Keeping your body hydrated is one of the best things you can do for yourself when you're sick. The fluids will help to flush out whatever it is in your system, says Wade Schroeder, a nurse practitioner at Overland Park Family Physicians, Corporate Lakes 26740 W 121st St.
Listen to your body. Schroeder says that cravings are a way for your body to communicate what it really needs.
"You may have a horrible cold, but pizza sounds great to you. That means that there is something in that pizza that your body actually needs," Schroeder explains. He says that when you're sick, it really depends on what you feel you can tolerate eating. So go for the pizza if you think you can keep it down.

Stat
Food: Build your own gourmet Mexican burrito.
Price range: $5 to$ 6 for a burrito or tacos.
Attire: Anything from a sweatshirt to a sport coat.
Date-worthiness: Not really good for a first date. The inherently messy combination of rice, salsa and fresh herbs is likely to end up in numerous places as you devour your food. This means in your teeth and on your face.
Seating: The interior is industrial, sleek and comfortable, kind of an oxymoron. The downtown location also boasts one of the few outdoor seating areas on Mass Street.
Booze: Beer and margaritas
Bring Mom along? Chipotle's selection of toppings can accommodate many food needs.The fast service will please mom if she doesn't want to spend her day on Mass Street in a restaurant when she could be shopping for KU paraphernalia.

A friend of mine confided to me that his only hang-up about fashion was that he just didn't know how to color coordinate. Trying to match colors with one another seemed to be a Herculean task. And with fashion magazines, books and reality television all giving out rules for using color in your wardrobe, it's easy to see how someone can feel overwhelmed. There is really only one thing to remember, however, when selecting and coordinating colors: There are no hard and fast rules.
hue
It's all about taste and cultural norms, says Delores Ringer, associate professor of theater and film. Having designed cos $^2$ tumes for professional and academic theater, Ringer has seen differing theories come and go about how to use color. For example, fashion trendsetters once recommended choosing colors based on what "season" your complexion was.
Ringer says that while there are no real rules to perfect color coordinating, there are ways to play it safe. Working in monochrome, pairing neutrals with color and avoiding complementary colors of the same intensity are all ways to safely match your colors. But don't feel limited by the safe way. "There are always exceptions to the rule that people can pull off," Ringer says.
Anne Schmader doesn't worry about color when she puts her wardrobe together. To the Leavenworth senior, every color matches every color. She says the reason that she wears certain colors together is what makes them match. "Clashing" only happens when others don't understand her choices.
Schmader, a theater design student, doesn't necessarily follow rules or theories either when she puts together her wardrobe. "If I like the piece of clothing, I'll wear it regardless of what color it is," she says. She likes to play games with her clothes, trying to wear as many different colors or patterns as possible. Her color choices are often focused around a certain accessory, a desired look or even a theme.
Regardless of your color philosophy, it's important to just try different things. Ringer suggests dressing to match your eyes and to choose colors that flatter your complexion. Look in the mirror and see how different colors react with your skin tone. But Ringer does have one warning: Stay out of fluorescent light.
"Under fluorescent light, we all look bad," she says.

Jayhawk tattoos and blue body-paint are great for cheering on our 'Hawks but not so great when they don't come off. Dan Patti, Roeland Park senior, frequently paints himself blue for football and basketball games and recommends using face paint to paint your body, not just your face. Patti doesn't suggest using finger paint because it dries, tightens and cracks. Unfortunately, he was at a football game when this happened to him and he ended up sunburned through the cracked paint. He says the face paint doesn't crack too badly and comes off easily and stain-free with a face wash such as Noxzema.
Scotch tape is a quick and painless way to get rid of the cheek tattoo. Stick the tape to the tattoo, press it down and then pull if off. Repeat this with a new piece of tape with fresh adhesive until the tattoo is gone. It may sound painful, but it doesn't hurt and sure beats scrubbing with alcohol and a wash-cloth.

Flip-flop fashion
MBA
There are only 10 days until the start of spring and you know what that means: flip-flops. While some of you haven't taken them off since last year, it's time for the rest of us to find the perfect pair. Although plain flip-flops serve their purpose, Susan Romero, a sales associate at Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St., says you can jazz them up for the season. The store sells basic flip-flops for $1.99 and Romero suggests hot-gluing fabric trim, buttons and even artificial flowers to the shoe strap. Hobby Lobby sells decorative ribbon, sequins and beaded trim starting at about$ 2.99 per yard. Fake flowers come in a wide price range. The hot glue creates a waterproof bond, so feel free to take your new sole-mates poolside.

Getting to know your significant other in a very different way
significantly switched
Trey Allen, Wichita junior, and Becky Burns, Topeka sophomore, switched rooms for a day to get a taste of their new lifestyle
Photo by Kit Leffle
By Samara Nazir, Jayplaywriter
The saying goes that you don't know people until you've walked a mile in their shoes, but someone else's stiletto heels or oversized sneakers can be an uncomfortable way to learn a person's intimate secrets. So, if you really want to get to know your sweetie, why not just spend the day in his or her room — alone.
So, after some begging, Trey Allen, Wichita junior, and Becky Burns, Topeka sophomore, agree to switch places for a day. Allen and Burns have known each other since last year, but feelings began to develop when Allen and Burns hung out most of winter break. Although they have officially been dating for only a few weeks, Allen and Burns say they have a strong relationship that they feel comfortable in. Swapping places won't change that too much, let's hope. The rules are that neither person is allowed to tell his or her roommates the situation and neither is allowed to leave the room more than five times. Afterward, they'll both report back to me.
DJTrey
She walks past the oversized Jay-Z poster and carefully plugs in her laptop, not wanting to knock over Allen's musical
After class, Burns parks her car, but instead of walking up to her apartment, she climbs the steps to Allen's. She begins to regret her decision to switch as soon as she walks into his apartment. As she plows through the mess, she finds dirty socks and dishes piling up in the apartment's corners. The mess is bearable, but Burns doesn't know how much longer she can handle the stench of four boys before she faints. She finds safety in Allen's clean room and her new laptop.
equipment, which includes a microphone placed in the center of his room. After AQL Instant Messenger becomes boring, Burns tries to find something to occupy her time. What she finds are well-picked clothes and shoes most all from the Buckle — hanging in Allen's closet and piles of CDs stashed everywhere.
"Just to clarify, I was not snooping around in his stuff. I was just viewing things with an interest," Burns says.
Using Allen's bathroom is no problem for Burns, but she misses her tropical shower curtains, scented soaps and personal things. Allen's bare bathroom contains nothing but the basics: soap, toothpaste, a brush and towels.
The pink factor
Allen is used to hanging out at Burns' apartment, so nothing is unusual for him except the absence of Burns herself. The fresh floral scent welcomes Allen as he opens the door. The pile of shoes barricading the doorway, however, is not so pleasant. Stepping carefully, Allen strategically makes it past the minefield. He jumps onto Burns' pink bed as soon as he enters the room. He grabs a hold of her pink pillows and takes a nap facing her pink curtains;
yes, pink is everywhere. At about 2:30 hungry after the nap, Allen decides to grab a snack at McDonald's. After a Big Mac and fries, Allen attempts to entertain himself with Burns' collection of Sex and the City DVDs. Surprisingly, he likes them. The thought of sifting through Burns' stuff does cross Allen's mind, but he quickly decides against it, not wanting to upset the several "organized" piles of clothes and papers on the floor.
papers. "I guess eventually I'll get to see it all, right? Oh, and no pun intended," Allen says with a wink.
Results
After a day, the test ends and both are ready to return to their rooms, but not without some souvenirs in hand. Burns leaves Allen's room with some hip-hop
CDs and walks into her fresh-smelling apartment with a sigh of relief. In dire need to see color she quickly runs to her bedroom.
Before Allen returns to his apartment, he grabs season five of Sex and the City. The suspense of how the season ends is too much to handle.
At the end of the experience, I asked Allen and Burns what they learned.
"That Jay-Z poster really freaks me out," Burns says. "I almost screamed when I woke up facing it."
"Well, it's better than being bombarded with the pink brigade, for sure," replies Allen, flashing a smile at Burns.

100-girl frenzy
When Matt's roommate says women stress about not looking like models in magazines, I smiled because he understood. When the roommate then continued to say men have it harder because they have to live with the fact that their women will never look like the models in magazines, my mouth dropped open. This is just one of the many scenes that will leave you in shock in the romantic comedy 100 Girls.
From the Writer and Director of "Eight Days A Week"
how do you say no to my girls?
100GIRLS

bomber suit (Jonathan Tucker) is in the all-girl dorm elevator with an unknown girl when there is a blackout. The next
morning, after their amazing night of conversation and sex, she is gone. Matt is hooked and determined to find her. The problem is he never saw her face. Matt dedicates his freshman year to figuring out who his mystery girl is. All he knows is it's one of the 100 girls who live in the dorm.
Check out this light-hearted comedy that makes you realize that men and women are more similar than different.

How we met
Taylor Thompson & Leandra Monreal
Leandra Monreal, Topeka freshman, says her relationship with Taylor Thompson, Topeka sophomore, works because he doesn't always tell her what she wants to hear. "All the faults that I have, she is strong in," Thompson says. He suspected his friend of trying to hook him up when he first met Monreal. They saw Star Wars II and she loved his blue eyes, old-fashioned attitude and flaming Chuck Tailors. Although impressed by her beauty, Thompson held back, saying, "I'm a guy, I didn't need people helping me get a girlfriend." Soon he realized he wasn't being set up and he saw her true, caring personality. Monreal waited three months before saying yes to a relationship. She wanted to know him better, and two and a half years later, Thompson says Monreal was worth the wait.

Crocs Craze Comes to KU
The shoe fanatics explain how the shoes with holes in them became trendy
By Katrina Mohr, Jayplay correspondent writer
Annie Greer, Boulder, Colo. sophomore, couldn't help noticing that the guy seated beside her was starring intently at her feet. Greer didn't understand why her brightly colored, spongy shoes were so intriguing. Where she's from, almost everyone she knows has a pair.

Crocs are sturdy, lightweight clogs punched with holes that cost $30. Because of their versatility and fashion appeal, more people have become proud owners of these strange shoes, and the trend hasn't passed by Lawrence.

When Greer returned this semester, she thought that the thief would be easy to spot because so few people had the shoes. Unfortunately for her, while she was home,

The unique thing about them is that so many different kinds of people wear them. I've seen frat guys, art students, professionals and even whole families wearing them. Crocs owners are Crocs fanatics. There's just something about them."

They're the most comfortable pair of shoes we sell and are quickly becoming a staple. I think their practicality and ugliness factor are the main reasons they sell so well."
main reasons they sent so Chad Jackson, owner of the scuba diving shop Blue Planet, 1301 E. $2^{th}$ St., is the person who brought Crocs to Lawrence stores. Jackson first saw them in the Florida
Keys a year ago. He brought back a few pairs because they were good boat shoes to wear between dives and because he liked how they felt. Upon his return, one of his employees offered to buy a pair off of him. When he took groups to Florida for dive trips, most of the travelers bought a pair for themselves plus a few pairs to take back home. Jackson likes them because they grip well, they float, and the resin they are made of is waterproof so they resist bacteria, dry quickly and don't smell.

At the time, Western Brands was mainly distributing Crocs on the coasts because of the reaction they were getting from people who worked and played in water.

Billy Pyle, Boulder, Colo., sophomore, helped bring Crots to the KU campus. Pyle says that at first, his older Sigma Chi fraternity brothers made fun of him for wearing
the material product.

But his pledge brothers liked them and asked Pyle to get them pairs when went he went home for breaks. Pyle's dad went to college with Scott Seamans, who invented Crocs, so he was able to get more than 20 free pairs of Crocs for his friends. Pyle says that once he started giving Crocs to his pledge class, the older guys stopped making fun of him and asked for their own pairs.

Western Brands has no competition because, according to its Web site, crocs.com. Crocs are made of a patented, closed-cell resin. The shoe has an orthotic heel, built-in arch support and a tarsal bar that keeps feet in a comfortable position while allowing them to spread out. Peter Seamans would not elaborate on the method, but he says that making the original material and molding the shoe was a complicated and time-consuming process. He says that other companies can try to copy the shoe design but they can never re-create the material, which is the essential component of Crocs and what separates them from other shoes.

"When Scott showed me the shoe that he was working on I was very skeptical at first," Peter says. "I told him that no one would buy it because it is so ugly and awkward-looking. After he worked with it and made a few more prototypes, it became evident to me that he was on to something."
Seamans says. "Crocs have so many advantages and even though everyone has their own reasons for wearing them, no one is disappointed. Most of the Croc wearers I know own at least four pairs. The more you start wearing them the less you want to wear anything else."

"With the turmoil of war and the overall feeling that we're subject to attack, the family, home and comfort are becoming more important," she says.

However, all trends end eventually and althoughuginess is in now, I'm sure if the economy gets better and people feel safer, it won't be in anymore."

A boat shoe introduced in 1935. It is still popular among aging boaters, but Crocs is hoping to change that.
UGG Boots:
A sheepskin boot created by Brian Smith, an Australian surfer, in 1978. What started with a small group of devoted surfers has become a worldwide trend. UGG boots are common on the KU campus.
Birkenstocks:
Karl Birkenstock built on to his grandfather's invention of the first contoured insole to create the Birkenstock sandal in 1964. It was the first shoe with contoured arch support. Popular with hippies in the '60s and '70s, Birkenstocks are now worn by multiple generations.

Two college-age guys drift toward the dart boards with their drinks. At a table behind me, a middle-aged couple eats while one of the bar owners, Barry Loudis, sits and chats with them. Across the room at a table for two, a vibrant elderly woman sits alone with her scotch on the rocks and a book. The two dart-board guys approach the woman. "You're with us tonight," they say. She seems flattered and gladly accepts their invitation. I feel like I'm at hometown bar, only without the 40-year-old guy hitting on me.

The Hatter sits at Vermont and Seventh Streets. You may remember it as the hole-in-the-wall bar, Rick's Place. If that's the case, you may be inclined to never go
back. The two bars could not be more different. When Rick's moved six months ago, two college grads, Barry Loudis and Charlie Myers, decided they wanted to open their own bar. "We tried hard to give Lawrence something new," Loudis says. Their goal was to create a restaurant by day and a hot spot by night. By hot spot, they mean a place where people go to dance and have a good time, not just stop in for a drink. They spent all last summer from May 1 to Aug. 19, renovating the space. They replaced everything, including the floors, ceilings and plumbing They spent about $125,000 on restorations and did most of the work themselves.

The Mad Hatter is not new to Lawrence. From 1967 to 1994, Mad Hatter sat where Borders is now. It was a staple in Lawrence for the college crowd and the new owners are trying to make it that again. "We have alumni come in because they see the sign and recognize it from their days in col-

It has pool tables, touch screens and dart boards. The music is straight from a jukebox. One minute you are listening to the Dixie Chicks and before you know it, Nelly is "#1." So what makes it different? "We have a really diverse crowd. It's not just greeks; it's a mix of people," says Marie Mullinix, waitress and bartender at Mad Hatter, "It's laid-back, you can just hang out and have a beer and if you are hungry, we have the best bar food in Lawrence."

So is Mad Hatter different from the others? Some might think so, but others aren't convinced. "I liked Mad Hatter, but it's really not much different from the other bar and grills in Lawrence," says Lindsey Morris, Overland Park senior. "I definitely wouldn't go there to dance, but it's a good place to just hang out and have a drink with friends."

With a bottle of Coke costing only a nickel and rum being cheaper than whiskey, many patrons were able to afford the drink. The original recipe of the Cuba Libre hasn't changed much, but the Coke's potency has. When this cocktail was first created, Coke was made with cocaine and cola nuts, altering the sweet flavor of a Cuba Libre. The addition of the lime offsets the sugary taste of Coca-Cola.

1/2 ounce gin
1/2 ounce lime juice
2 to 3 ounces Coke
Pour all ingredients except Coke into glass with ice. Fill with Coke and stir. Finish with a lime wedge and a squeeze of lime juice.

If you're tired of the Lawrence scene and you're looking to broaden your horizons, try Lucky's Brewgrille off I-35 on Johnson Drive. It's about a 35-minute drive, so make sure your group includes a designated driver. Lucky's has two levels: Upstairs is a sophisticated restaurant atmosphere; downstairs hosts a typical bar and grill menu. The downstairs resembles an unfinished basement, great for drunk people and dancing. Three big screens hang on the wall behind the dance floor providing live dance footage. I guess so you can watch yourself dance. The arrangement works because if you get tired of the loud music and cramped space downstairs you can head upstairs for a breather.

So they're like, "Oh, it's going to be in style soon," but I'm like, "I live in the Midwest, so it's not going to be here any time soon." It was mortifying. I don't ever cry, and I definitely cried all day.

Giving the how-to on hand jobs.
Q
I'm starting to get bogged down with all my school work and am having less and less free time to spend with my girlfriend. I think it's starting to bother her, too. I can't slack off from my class work because I have to keep my scholarship, but I need to make more time. Any ideas? Mike, sophomore
a
Jessi: For dates, take her to your classes or the library and tell her that it's on the list of all-time hottest dates for college couples. After she slugs you hard, let her know what's really up, that although your relationship is a priority in your life school is what will potentially give you the future you (and she, trophy wife-to-be) desire. I'm sure she'll be content knowing you had the nerve to rally up a self-inflicted "relationship talk."
sife will be conflicted "relationship talk."
Chris: Financial aid is overrated. I mean, the average college grad now enters the "real world" with more than $18,000 in unpaid student loans. Don't you want to be a normal college student? Eff the scholarship requirements, do your best in school, but don't let it keep you from enjoying your life. If you can't keep your scholarship, but you can keep a great relationship going, a few student loans won't ruin your life.
a
Q
I was hooking up with this girl and she didn't want to have intercourse or go down on me, so she offered to use her hand. After about 10 seconds I knew I wouldn't be able to get off from what she was doing but couldn't think of a nice way to tell her. What would you do?
—Joe, junior
Jessi: I'd tell her the following, verbatim: "Although you've only been masturbating me for 10 seconds, I am psychic and will not be able to achieve orgasm through this method alone. Thank you for trying, and please, have a great day as I continue on my own." Or you could always be a nice guy and kindly show her how you want to be handled.
Chris: Pretend like you're lovin' it. To do this say, "I'm lovin' it!" and kind of shrug your shoulders. Let her continue for hours on end. Then punch yourself for being an idiot. What you should do is put your hand on hers; demonstrate the desired motion, rhythm, grip, etc. She'll learn what it takes, you'll both be happy and you won't have to deal with an un-pleasurable hand job. This advice goes to the ladies too.
Q
I've been talking to this girl for a few weeks----nothing serious----but there's potential. Anyway, neither of us have spring break plans and I'm toying with the idea of inviting her to go on a trip with me. Is this a good idea and; if so, where should we go? Tyler, senior
a
Jessi: Honestly? I don't think you should sign up to go on a trip with someone you barely know. I know of some lifelong friends I couldn't stand to vacation with. You don't know her strange bathroom habits/odors/noises, and you're more likely to be intolerant of those if you don't know her than if you were in love with her and accepting of those traits.
Chris: Have you ever been on a date and had terrible conversation or none at all? Imagine having that happen an hour into a two-day trip with this girl. Not good. It's risky because you don't know what that vibe will be like. As bad as it could be, a trip together could also be a great excuse to have lots and lots of sex. Tough call. I hear Branson is nice.

Unfortunately, watching the film yields only a few contradictory clues. Yes, SpongeBob does seem very comfortable in others' personal space, but it comes across as more awkward than sexual.

I was looking for something like The Indigo Girls to help tip the scales, but the closest I could find was Avril Lavigne, and it turns out she's just Canadian (and not very talented, either). The problem for any music lover who purchases the soundtrack is that any actual song by Wilco, The Flaming Lips or The Shins is sandwiched between songs Patrick and SpongeBob sing. The CD is discontinuous and altogether uninspired (with the exception of a catchy Ween song).

comedies. Step Three:
Having completed step one, Diesel is now moving onto that same sort of wholesome, dull entertainment that turned "The Terminator" into "That dude from Kindergarten Cop," and unfortunately, the transition is a little rough. Diesel fills the screen well, and his physique holds up admirably. But, Diesel
SUPERMAN
has a difficult time giving his dialogue the necessary emotional resonance. In his defense, the script is entirely lacking of any resonance as well.
Diesel plays Shane Wolfe, badass Navy SEAL, who is given his toughest assignment yet: Play nanny to a houseful of spoiled kids. The plot, which is more suited to a sitcom than a film, contains a litany of poorly transitioned scenarios that deal with everything from changing diapers to driver's ed.
Here are just a few of the valuable items I learned from this film: South Korea is bad, but America is great. Bullies are bad, but inflicting violence is perfectly acceptable as long as the villain is a one-dimensional goon. Proper hygiene is important. It's really sad when your father dies, but quickly replacing him with a beefy surrogate is just fine. Cooperation is about trust and caring. When you're attacked by ninjas, never call the cops; instead, go on a high-speed car chase. Love is most powerful emotion of all. And finally, no soundtrack is ever complete without some good old Smash Mouth.
The movie's worst offense is the heavy-handed lecturing that permeates this (and every) Disney film. It's bad enough watching a film that isn't funny, but when it tries to teach you moral lessons, it becomes unbearable.

Be Cool
(★)
PG-13, 114 minutes. Playing at South Wind 12
Be Cool is a sequel that knows it's a sequel. Not only that, but it's a sequel that knows it's a BAD sequel. Get Shorty, the first film about mafia shylock-turned movie producer Chili Palmer, was a smart, well-acted dark comedy based on an Elmore Leonard novel. Its sequel, Be Cool is also based on an Elmore Leonard, but, unlike its predecessor, doesn't take itself seriously. This would be forgivable if the film was good for more than a handful of laughs, but, alas, it is not.
laughs, but, alas, it is not Be Cool picks up 10 years after Get Shorty. Chili Palmer (John Travolta) is tired of how dishonest the film business has become. After going into a club to watch a singer named Linda Moon (Christina Milian), he is inspired to switch professions from movie producer to manage the supposedly talented Linda. The rest of the plot surrounds Chili's various dealings with trademark Elmore Leonard bad guys to make Linda a star.
bad guys to make friends. The film is packed with so many characters that it's hard to focus on what's going on. Each character has their own trademark quirk: Vince Vaughn plays a white guy obsessed with acting like a black pimp; The Rock plays an ambiguously gay Samoan bodyguard/wannabe actor; Cedric the Entertainer is an upper class
music mogul who acts like he's from the ghetto; and throw in a group of Russian mobsters and a rap group/posse led by Outkast's André Benjamin. Edie (Uma Thurman) partners with Chili as a widow and record label manager, and in an obvious throwback to Travolta's Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction, the two show off their dancing moves in one of the film's better scenes.
All of this makes for a star-power jumble, and director F. Gary Gray doesn't know what to make of it. The gags aren't funny, and even the ones that are get painfully overused. Be Cool is a dark comedy that forgot it was supposed to be funny.

Iron & Wine Woman King
Photo courtesy of www.amazon.com
Ex-college professor and formidably bearded bard Sam Beam has long alluded to romantic, playful sexuality under his two-for-one pseudonym Iron & Wine, softly worshipping and caressing the corporeal with whispered words and a fragile, but deceptively deft, acoustic guitar. Iron & Wine's sound has swelled as he has released more CDs. What began as a man in his bedroom with just a four-track and a guitar has evolved into a full band affair. On Woman King, a collection of six new songs recorded last summer, Beam and Co. juxtapose love female empowerment and a new sexual frankness in waves of lyrically dense, brainy neo-folk.
rainy neo-folk.
Like a passing afternoon of tantric sex,
Woman King is a series of manic thrusts and prolonged reservation. A twisting slide riff and shots of electronic fuzz on the lead and title track open the EP with an air of urgency, only to be suppressed by the two tracks that follow. "Jezebel," a retelling of the famous biblical harlot's unfortunate morbid demise, and "Gray Stables" are both standard Iron & Wine: quiet, melodic and altogether excellent.
quiet, melodic and altogether cool. The push and pull continues on the EP's latter half. "Freedom Hangs Like Heaven" marches like a pacifist's war anthem, augmented by a tightly coiled blues bounce and dancing banjo. True to form, "My Lady's House" follows and glides on delicate guitar and soft piano while Beam waxes poetic, singing his muse's praise. The album's closer, "Evening on the Ground (Lilith's Song)," is the album's climax and unlike anything Iron
& Wine has done. A defensive protest, an explicit sexual reference and (gasp) a haggard electric guitar all pop up before the song and the album collapse in a crumpled heap, leaving all parties involved collectively dazed.
involved collectively quickly.
If it's not clear, Iron & Wine is completely and mind-numbingly awesome. Beam re-affirms his role as a paragon of folk's new renaissance on Woman King, fording new creeks of creativity by walking on their water. If Iron & Wine were the world's soundtrack, women would be equal, AK-47s would fire rose petals, love would replace television, and life would be fine.

Kings of Leon
Aha Shake Heartbreak
Kings of Leon has been nicknamed "Lynrd Strokes" after the release of its first album, Youth and Young Manhood, which blended Southern rock and garage band alternative rock. Since the Nashville quartet has released Aha Shake Heartbreak, the band seems to have drawn from more diverse influences and turned the lyrical content more inward. It has built a fairly respectable 'sex, drugs, and rock' n' roll persona', but Aha Shake Heartbreak showcases some of the band's vulnerabilities and insecurities.
band's vulnerability and their They do a pretty good job of knocking down their reputation as Caleb Followill croons about his receding hairline and erectile dysfunction ("Soft"). Furthermore, the band deviates from their
Southern- rock twang for a broader mixture of sounds. From soulful blues to post punk attitude and even a little bit of what can only be described as maybe "skat yodeling" ("Day Old Blues"). The album has hints of The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. A Steven Tyler-esque yowl can even be detected during the chorus of their first single, "The Bucket." This may sound a little derivative, but Kings of Leon manages to take lessons from some of rock's greatest and turn it into something all its own.

Mogwai
Mogwai Government Commissions: BBC Sessions 1996-2003 Matador
When I saw Mogwai play last year in Nottingham, I managed to scam my way past security onto the opposite side of a barricade (using my camera as a prop) so that the band's warmth was glowing only a few glorious feet away. The band drank red wine the entire show as if it was no big deal and generally kept things tidy as the members hovered through their set list. I'd always heard rumors about how loud of a band Mogwai was, but you're never really prepared for something of that magnitude until you actually feel it growling inside of your chest. They pounded the brains out of the back of my skull as I held onto that barricade, fearing that I might be sucked up into the black
hole of bottom-feeding melodies coming from the buzzing stacks upon stacks (upon stacks) of speakers that surrounded the stage. It was deafeningly beautiful. After the show, my friend Phil and I found an all-night pool hall where we proceeded to drink Pepsi for about five hours in an attempt to recover from the oceanic rock onslaught we had witnessed together.
Government Commissions attempts to capture these seamless textures of the band in a live environment (at least for a few of the tracks). The 10 songs selected for the album (mostly performed for the late-great broadcaster John Peel, to whom the record is dedicated) work like a Mogwai greatest-hits collection and provide a nice sampling of what these boys from Glasgow have done for the world of instrumental music in the last nine years. Most of the songs stick closely to their album versions, with a few subtle exceptions where the band allows themselves some exploratory flexibility, the results of which are worth the purchase.

When it comes to the action though, DMC3 soars. The game's combo-based fighting system is surprisingly deep, with a wide variety of attacks available to players. The game also offers a brand new "style" system, which allows players to specialize in dodging, swordplay, gun fighting or defense. Coupled with a lengthy main quest and lots of unlockables, DMC3 should keep action fans occupied for weeks.

Once a cheater,
always a cheater?
A serial heartbreaker tells all
Philadelphia
Lawrence
By Paige Worthy, Jayplay writer
P
Illustration by Scott Drummond
I never set out to cheat on my boyfriend. But everything was in place for a perfect night. The weather was unseasonably warm and I was out with a new guy friend. I was wearing my ribbon-tie strand of purple pearls and the alcohol was free-flowing. And when I woke up the next morning in his lofted bed, I felt almost no guilt. Memories from the night before gradually re-entered my mind, but not of what I'd expected: playing a heated game of "Slug Bug," meeting the guys from his scholarship hall, wolfing down Wheel pizza together. Cheating aside, maybe it had been the perfect night.
Fast-forward to fall break, a few weeks later. My boyfriend, the one I cheated on, and I were standing at a bus stop waiting for a ride back to his new apartment in northeast Philadelphia, a place I'd never liked and where I knew I'd never feel at home. I had spent the last 20 minutes well, three days, to be honest — hovering between exhaustion, devastation and nausea. I kept wishing the bus would come so I could put off the inevitable conversation, but the bus didn't come, not until I'd 'fessed up. When I finally got the courage to tell Kenrick that I'd met someone else, he closed up. My relationship was over. I had known it since I stepped out of the cab from the airport three days earlier and saw him sitting inside the Fox &
Hound, a bar down the street from his work. He was surprised to see me because I had arrived a day earlier than expected, and I was surprised because kissing him confirmed all my fears about the visit: I felt nothing. In the three months since I had last seen him, I had fallen completely out of love. And in the three weeks since I'd cheated on him, I had moved on to someone new.
This wasn't the first time I had cheated. Minor incidents, though they were all "just kissing," had led to the demise of other relationships, too. A Lambda Chi at a party during work week, a guy I'd met in Kirksville (I let him buy me pancakes at 4 a.m.), a baritone from my choir at a friend's birthday party (my boyfriend was in the next room). The last of these was more than two years ago, but I still remember every transgression and what it did to my relationships.
“Once a cheater, always a cheater.” I’ve turned this phrase over and over in my head since my current relationship began in October 2004, before the other had even ended. My boyfriend and I laugh now about the way we got together, saying we would have ended up with one another even if I had been single and looking, but a question nags at me: What made me cheat? Was I stuck in a rut, trying to get dumped instead of doing the dumping, or
was it just something dangerous and new to spice things up? All my cheating episodes have had two things in common: guys who weren't my boyfriend and lots of alcohol. But up until the last time, my reasons for cheating were childish and all different. I've never really been single since my freshman year of high school, and I would act on impulse when the urge to be single would arise. Before, cheating was a temporary fix for problems in my relationships; I had no feelings for those guys. I have to work to even remember their names most of the time.
The guilt of having cheated again hit me before I left for Philly, but it took fall break to help me understand that this time was different; it was something people in long-distance relationships often experience. Kenrick and I had been apart from each other for more than a year—the bulk of our relationship—and I hadn't seen him since the Fourth of July. When I met Kenrick in the summer of 2003, I still had a couple years left of school and I thought I could survive on bimonthly weekend visits until after graduation, when I would to move to Philly and be with him. But it's now my senior year of college, and I have changed. What I need from a relationship has also changed. I now need romance, a best friend and someone who can face the future with me—in person. I didn't want to
wait until after graduation to be happy. And as early as that first morning he and I woke up together, when we stayed in bed until well after noon talking as though we'd already been together for months, I knew it wasn't cheating as usual for me, and I wasn't going to write it off as a one-night thing.
Sometimes I'll remember how badly I hurt Kenrick and get myself worked up, and my boyfriend asks me whether I have regrets about our relationship. It's hard to explain. I don't have regrets that I'm with him; I'm happier than I've ever been in a relationship. But I often wish I'd found a way to get my timing right, whether it had been breaking it off with Kenrick when things went wrong, not when someone else came along, or just being honest with him immediately. I'm not proud of being a heartbreaker. I now understand the consequences of cheating on someone and that my heart's not the only one involved. But after the many mistakes I've made, I'm learning to trust myself; the constant fear that I'll screw up again isn't good for any relationship. And though he's experienced my cheating first-hand, my boyfriend now trusts me not to do it again. That has to count for something.

Jenny Roberts, St. Louis sophomore, performs a dive in Robinson Center on Monday afternoon. Roberts, a member of the Kansas diving team, was preparing for the NCAA Zone D Regional Dive Meeting, March 11 to 13 in College Station, Texas. Divers compete to qualify for national championships at zone meets.
Jenny Roberts has a lot to be proud of as the Zone D Regional Diving Meet approaches tomorrow.
Roberts is coming off an injury that caused her to sit out her senior year of high school and take a redshirt with the Kansas swimming and diving team her freshman year of college. During a high school diving meet, Roberts was completing a back two-and-a-half dive when she came out wrong. She had several back injuries that halted her diving career for two years.
This year, Roberts has made a comeback in the college diving scene. She is one of three divers on the team to qualify for the Zone D meet, an accomplishment she is proud of.
"I'm really excited." Roberts said. "That's what this year has been all about."
Sophomore Shelby Noonan and junior Casey Topol also qualified, but Roberts will be the only Jayhawk at the meet in College Station, Texas because of Noonan's recent injury at the Big 12 Conference Swimming and Diving Championships. Topol will not attend for academic reasons.
Roberts could receive a bid to the NCAA Championships next week. Diving coach Eric Elliot explained that usually the top five winners are invited.
"I'd be thrilled to see Jenny place in the top 12," Elliot said. "Top five would be great, but she'd have to be completely on, and hit everything."
The Zone D meet is the only road to the NCAA Championships for lower Midwest region collegiate divers. Roberts said that it
would be huge if she qualified for NCAA Championships, but she didn't think it was likely.
"I'm really excited," Roberts said, "but this is more of an experience."
Elliot also explained that this meet is a diver's one shot to make it to the NCAA Championships, and divers had to qualify for the Zone D meet first.
Roberts said that getting to experience the meet was an accomplishment in itself because of her high school injury, and coach Elliot agreed.
"Of course we want a good performance," Elliot said, "but I want her to have fun, and to get the experience so that she'll have it for next year.
Although the meet starts tomorrow, Roberts will not be performing until Saturday, when she will compete in the one-meter competition.
She will complete six dives.
"I'm a better diver because of my injury
Two of the dives will be front dives, two will be back dives, one will be inward and one will be a reverse dive. The divers' scores are compiled by multiplying the judges' scores by the degree of difficulty of the dive.
mentally, physically and personally. Jenny Roberts Freshman diver
Elliot said that there were always quality divers at the Zone D meet, but each year new divers came to the meet.
Both Elliot and Roberts said they were disappointed that Noonan couldn't make the trip with them.
"At this level, anybody could get there," Elliot said, "but you
have to have a good meet."
"It's really disappointing about Shelby," Elliot said, "because she was diving really well."
He said that this is the first year that there have been a significant number of spots available in the Zone D meet and he wished more jayhawks could have taken advantage of the spots.
Injuries aside, Elliot said he was looking forward to the meet tomorrow. as was Roberts.
She said she was excited to be making her debut in championship diving after her two-year injury.

MLB players called in for steroid trial
NEW YORK — Jose Canseco, Jason Giambi, Mark McGwire and four other baseball players were subpoenaed yesterday to testify before a congressional committee investigating the sport's steroids policy.
Curt Schilling, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and Frank Thomas also were subpoenaed to appear at the March 17 hearing of the House Government Reform Committee along with players' association head Donald Fehr, baseball executive vice presidents Rob Manfred and Sandy Alderson and San Diego general manager Kevin Towers.
Canseco, Fehr and Manfred had agreed to testify. Manfred will speak on behalf of baseball commissioner Bud Selig.
Stanley Brand, a lawyer for the commissioner's office, wrote to the committee on Tuesday
"The remaining witnesses, however, made it clear—either by flatly rejecting the invitation to testify or by ignoring our repeated attempts to contact them—they had no intention of appearing before the committee," committee chairman Rep. Tom Davis and Rep. Henry Waxman, the ranking Democrat, said in a statement.
"The committee will conduct a thorough, fair, and responsible investigation. It is important the American people know the facts on baseball's steroid scandal. And it is important that all Americans, especially children, know about the dangers of drug use. We need to better understand the steps MLB is taking to get a handle on the steroid issue, and whether news of those steps is reaching America's youth."
saying the hearing and what he termed "overly expansive" document requests "present significant constitutional and institutional concerns about the underlying validity and proprietary of the committee's inquiry.
"It is not clear to us how the committee's jurisdiction encompasses the privately negotiated drug policy." Brand wrote, adding that the committee was requesting "highly private and sensitive information."
"The right to the privacy of this information outweighs any asserted interest in the `health problems stemming from the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs," Brand wrote.
Brand said the committee request went to the unprecedented and destructive length of seeking actual testing results and showed no consideration for the legitimate privacy concerns of MLB, the MLBPA, individual players and other members of the bargaining unit.
Another congressional hearing on steroids is scheduled for tomorrow, when the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee will hear from witnesses, including labor lawyers from the commissioner's office and the NFL, and representatives of the NCAA and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
"We're trying to get to the bottom of the steroid problem," Rep. Cliff Stearns said.
Stearns, chairman of the House Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection subcommittee, said Selig was invited to speak at the hearing but declined.
"We're trying to understand whether legislation is needed," he said. "We're obviously disappointed that Selig did not want to show."

Teen suspected in break-ins
Five Colony Woods residents report vehicle burglaries and vandalism
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@hansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lawrence police arrested a 16-year-old male in connection with five automobile burglaries in and around Colony Woods apartments yesterday morning, according to Lawrence police reports.
Three of the vehicles involved belong to KU students.
One of those students was Nicole Trapp, Leavenworth sophomore.
She reported an unknown amount of damage to her car and a $250 MP3 player and an $80 radar detector stolen from her car Wednesday night.
Trapp said that she had never had anything like this happen to her since she moved into Colony Woods, 1301 W. 24th St., in July 2004.
Her personal safety was never an issue while living at the apartment complex, Trapp said.
"I don't feel unsafe here," she said. "This just makes me angry."
Fred Marti, Colony Woods resident, reported the burglaries to Lawrence police around 11:50 p.m. Wednesday.
He told police he saw people walking in the parking lot checking the locks on car doors, said Dan Ward, Lawrence police department.
Police arrived shortly after the call. They identified and arrested one suspect at 1:13 a.m. vesterday.
Ward said he thought other people were involved, but police
had not identified or located them.
Most of the burglarized vehicles were not locked, Ward said. All items taken from the vehicles totaled about $1,000. Unknown amounts of damage to the vehicles were also reported, according to the police reports.
Colony Woods, along with other Lawrence apartment complexes, have tried to educate its residents about the importance of personal safety, said Gina Olinger, Colony Woods manager.
A Colony Woods security officer patrols the apartment complex four times a night in a marked vehicle, Olinger said.
Later this fall, Colony Woods might have a "courtesy officer" who lives at the apartment complex. Olinger said.
The officer, from the Lawrence police department, would likely begin living at Colony Woods later this fall, Olinger said.
"Residents are encouraged to keep their cars locked at all
times and are advised not to leave valuable items in their cars" Olinger said.
A second KU student reported $50 worth of damage to his wind-shield, also from Colony Woods, according to the police reports.
A third KU student reported that nothing was stolen, but that her car had been burglarized in the 1500 block of W. 25th Court, south of Colony Woods, according to police reports.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg answers law students questions yesterday in Green Hall, east of the Burge Union. President Bill Clinton appointed Ginsburg to the Supreme Court in 1993. She was the second woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court. Sandra Day O'Connor was the first.
Justice reflects on career, life
Student says justice is 'liberal'
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
"If you were in an exam and nature called you had to make a mad dash to the bathroom and get back to the exam in time," she said.
When Ruth Bader Ginsburg attended Harvard Law School in the 1950s, she was one of nine women in a first-year class of about 500 male law students. Pressure of studying in a male-dominated environment wasn't the most difficult part of her education, she said. It was the lack of women restrooms.
Ginsburg is the second woman to serve as a justice of the United States Supreme Court. She spoke yesterday to KU students and faculty at the School of Law.
Ginsburg talked about her experience as a Supreme Court justice and the power of the court.
When one student asked if the court had gone beyond its constitutional powers in recent years, Ginsburg answered with a definite "no." The court does not control the issues or cases it must rule on, she said.
Carly Farrell, Overland Park second-year law student, said she was inspired by Ginsburg's ability to balance an intense legal career and a family.
"We're like firefighters," she said. "We don't make the issues, we just deal with them."
"She is the second female justice ever and she has still managed to have two kids, be a mom and have a husband," Farrell said. "She is very grounded."
Ginsburg's visit gave students an opportunity to humanize a justice who writes much of the material they study, said Stephen McAllister, former dean of the law school.
"It's important for them to understand that they're not infallible," McAllister said. "But that they're not evil either. They're good people trying to do their best."
Ginsburg brought a different perspective from other Justices who have visited the law school in the last few years, Farrell said. Justice Clarence Thomas has visited the school two times since Farrell has been there. Farrell said he considered him to be a conservative justice.
"Our school has gotten a lot of slack lately for being onesided," Farrell said. "But the dean is bringing in one of the most liberal justices on the bench."
Lawrence third-year law student Misikir Tilahun said Ginsburg had a different perspective and interpretation of the law than Thomas.
Ginsburg was the 10th Supreme Court justice to visit the University. She was the fifth to visit since 2000.
"She will strike a good balance with the other justices we've heard." Tilahun said.

[the fakebook] Web site features fraudulent profiles
By Neil Mulka
nmulka@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Bill Self, Martha Stewart, Mark Mangino and Axl Rose all have one thing in common: A profile on thefacebook.com, the popular social-networking Web site for college students.
But, wait a minute, Axl, a high school dropout, never went to college — unless he attended Jack Black's School of Rock.
And Martha was is prison when the profile was created on Feb. 21.
Go to the global search option on thefacebook, and you can find other fake profiles from about 400 schools.
For example, "Baywatch" star David Hasselblow has eight listings. Brad Pitt has more than a dozen.
Making fake profiles breaks the terms of agreement on the facebook's Web site.
However, thefacebook isn't proactive about removing fake profiles, said Chris Hughes, the facebook.com spokesman.
David Peal, Leawed senior, made a Bill Seif profile as a tribute to the men's basketball coach.
"I knew it would be a big hit at Kansas," Peal said. "I thought it would pay homage to him because he's our basketball coach at one of the greatest basketball schools of the country."
As of 10 a.m., yesterday, Self's profile had more than 1,500 friends from universities throughout the nation. More than 1,300 of them came from the University of Kansas.
The profile has been up since Feb. 6, 2005.
Peal estimates he receives 30-40 requests from people wanting to be Self's friend daily and tries to fulfill them all.
"When I first was making this, I wondered if I could get in trouble for this," Peal said. "The only person who would care would be Bill Self. I tried to make it as well-reflecting of him as possible."
Because thefacebook.com is a publishing medium, there is potential for defamation, said Mike Kautsch, professor of law and director of media law and policy.
Defamation is communicating false information to third parties about a person that injures the reputation of or deters others from associating with that person.
Examples of defamatory statements would be saying that someone is known as promiscuous or a serial shoplifter, Kautsch said.
The person making a defamation charge would have to prove that the statement is defamatory to a reasonable person within the publication.
The Self profile includes his birthday and the phone number for the KU basketball office.
"You have to ask, 'Would you take this seriously?' he said.

Regents works for more money for universities
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas might become $1.8 million richer after Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Steve Munch, student body president, traveled to Topeka Wednesday to attend a House Appropriations Committee hearing on interest ownership.
Interest ownership refers to the interest made on students' tuition. The interest collected goes to other state agencies or obligations instead of benefiting the state universities.
The six Board of Regents Universities have proposed a bill to shift the interest earnings on to tuition and fees back to the universities, said Katie Wolff, Student Senate legislative director.
house was a big step in the process," Wolff said.
Munch was one of the people who testified in front of the House Appropriations Committee in favor of the bill, and now the bill is expected to go before the full House of Representatives, Wolff, Shawnee senior, said.
Munch testified along with Hemenway and Fort Hays State president Edward Hammond.
4. a) "Getting a hearing in front of the
luck Edward. Munch said when he testified he made the point that the bill applied to both tuition and student fees. Buildings like the Student Recreation Fitness Center and the new Multicultural Resource Center would also benefit from this money coming back to the University.
"I'm certainly happy that this is moving forward," Munch said. "It is hard to gauge long-term success, but right now this was a good thing for the bill."
The six Board of Regents universities are the only schools in the state that do not get back the interest earned on tuition. Community colleges and Washburn University get to keep the interest.
The next step before the bill goes before the House is a letter-writing campaign, Wolff said. Wolff and the other five Board of Regents universities are asking all students to write letters to house representatives voicing their support for the bill.
SUA does not currently receive any money from student fees, because it is funded by the Kansas Union.
The total amount would add up to nearly $300,000 a year for SUA programming.
During three of the last four fiscal years, the Board of Regents institutions have absorbed $82 million in funding reductions. Because of this, the state universities have been forced to raise tuition and other fees, Wolff said.
Other Senate News
The Finance and University Affairs committees of Senate both approved a $5-per-semester fee for Student Union Activities Wednesday night.
SUA would use the money to have entertainers or speakers.
"We don't have the funding available to have entertainers that a University of our caliber should be having," jeff Dunlap, study body vice president said.
Next week the full Senate will vote on the proposed bill, and if that passes, it will go to a student vote during the Senate elections April 13 to 14.

Cockroaches, Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws and Puerto Rico were all themes eloquently used in poems to entertain more than 100 people in the Kansas Union last night.
Award-winning poet Martin Espada was the center of attention as he recited several poems to the crowd.
Espada began the evening by talking about his flights through Connecticut and Chicago before reaching Kansas.
"I've experienced all the snowstorms in the country. When I got here, it felt like Hawaii." Espada said.
After a lighthearted introduction, Espada turned to a more serious note. Coca-Cola was a co-sponsor for Espada's reading. He said he could not in good conscience accept money from the company because of its history of neglecting its workers in Colombia. Instead Espada is donating the $1,200 he would have received to the National Food Industry Workers

Espada changed the mood of the evening when he recited poems drawn from life experiences including the poem "Thanksgiving." Before reading his poem about his first Thanksgiving dinner with his wife's parents, he warned the audience that it was all true. He said no one would believe him otherwise. Espada said on that fateful night, he watched his father in-law fire a cannon at a tombstone in a nearby cemetery
Espada's poetry has won several awards, including the Paterson Award for Sustained Literary Achievement, an American Book Award, the Paterson Poetry Prize and the Robert Creeley Award.

Suicide bomb kills 47 injures 100 at funeral
MOSUL, Iraq — A suicide attacker set off a bomb that tore through a funeral tent jammed with Shiite mourners yesterday, splattering blood and body parts over rows of overturned white plastic chairs. The attack, which killed 47 and wounded more than 100, came as Shiite and Kurdish politicians in Baghdad said they overcame a major stumbling block to forming a new coalition government. The explosion, in a working class neighborhood of this northern city, destroyed a large tent pitched next to a smaller one on a grassy patch in the courtyard of a mosque. Survivors scrambled to get

CHICAGO — A man who filed bizarre, rambling lawsuits over his cancer treatment shot himself to death during a traffic stop outside Milwaukee and left a suicide note claiming he killed the husband and mother of a federal judge who ruled against him, police said yesterday.
Man admits to murder commits suicide in car
Bart Ross, a 57-year-old electrician from Chicago, committed suicide Wednesday in West Allis, Wis., after a police officer pulled him over because of a broken taillight.
Chicago Police Superintendent Phil Cline did not declare the murders of federal judge Joan Lefkow's relatives solved. But, he said, "We're satisfied that there's information in the letter that would point us to Ross being in Lefkow's house."

Discovery may lead to elderly blindness cure
WASHINGTON — The leading cause of blindness in the elderly, age-related macular degeneration, has been linked to a gene mutation, raising hopes of earlier detection and possible treatment.
Fifteen million Americans have the disease, and that number is expected to double as baby
boomers age.
Being able to relate a gene mutation to the likelihood of developing the illness may lead to better tests and eventually treatments, the scientists hope.
"I don't think it's going to be a year or two ... but I guess less than 10 years before a treatment might become available," said Albert O. Edwards, the lead researcher for one of three sets of researchers reporting on the link.
Macular degeneration causes the central region of the eye's retina to deteriorate, damaging or destroying vision. For now, there are no broadly effective treatments, though a recently approved drug can slow the disease for some patients.

U.S. fixing democracy abroad? Try fixing it here at home first
JULIA MELIM COELHO
icoelho@kansan.com
---
Suppose some guys break into your house, destroy all your furniture, kill your husband or wife and kids and then tell you that you are free to do whatever you want. Then, they say that your life is bad and that they are going to give you a better one. Is this democracy? You cannot force democracy on
Now, suppose you are in a room with 10 people and you are trying to decide if you should do homework or not. Then, somebody says, "I am going to be democratic. Let's vote."
Seven people say they want to do homework and three people vote against it. Then, the 10 don't do homework. The majority ends up doing what only three people decided. Is this democracy? Democracy occurs when each person's vote counts.
The United States government advertises democracy and freedom, but Americans have not questioned what these values are and if they receive what the government promises.
Under the cover of democracy and freedom, the government operates an almost dictatorial system. George W. Bush has even been compared to Hitler, who was also a very popular leader, but this doesn't seem to call people's attention. Americans are too worried about the war to think about what is going on inside the country — which is what the government wants.
President Bush said that the "people of Iraq have spoken to the world, and the world is hearing the voice of freedom from the center of the Middle East. In great numbers, and under great risk, Iraqis have shown their commitment to democracy."
If somebody came to the United States and said that you couldn't attend college or that you couldn't get married or even have children, you would feel your rights weren't respected. In the same way, if one invades a country and decides to impose certain values on a different culture — it doesn't matter which values — that is not respecting individuals' choices. Even if the government calls it democracy or freedom, it is still using the basic concepts of a dictatorship.
President Bush promotes the principles of democracy and freedom to the Iraqis, but at the same time he supports policies that strip Americans of their own freedoms. The Patriot Act is one step toward not having freedom. The fight
against terrorism is another step.
Because presidential elections in the United States aren't based on popular vote, not every vote counts. When
It is outrageous, but democracy and freedom are being used as an excuse to disrespect American civil rights.
your vote is worthless and the majority has no input in the country, there is no democracy.
I am not talking about political parties. Instead, I am talking about the political system itself. You can be a Democrat or a Republican, but you should still fight for a fair political system. Manipulating the votes or having indirect elections is a tactic of dictatorial governments. So, if there are no rights, no democracy and no freedom, I can only conclude that we are living in a dictatorship.
Today, the government is invading Iraq, but it will never stop. There will be more wars, and there will be an excuse for each one of them. Lives will be sacrificed for oil, power and money — whatever is on the government's agenda. The government is not interested in our freedom, but in its power. The more power the government has, the less freedom the citizens have.
It's reminiscent of the U.S. invasions in Central and South America in the 1960s. It wasn't about democracy and freedom.
The governments of those countries were destroyed, like in Iraq, and dictators were put in their places. They were dictators who would follow U.S. orders. The U.S. invasions have never been about freedom, they are about power and political influence — but this is not what they tell us.
I want to defend the rights of the American people while there is still time. In the '60s, students fought for their rights — our parents were more active than we are. It's time to stand up again and fight for your rights. Don't let the excuse of democracy and freedom give total power to the government and take your democracy and freedom away. Send letters to the White House.
Gather student groups together to talk about issues. Protest in the streets for your rights. We are young, we are students and we can still change something.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Privatization for education not bad certainly not as much as the unions
While in his editorial, "Privatization of education poor step toward reform," Pete Prince does recognize that for many, American public schools do an excellent job, he misses that for some, the public school system is failing.
By his logic, the privatization of schools would favor the wealthy over the poor, as they would benefit from the competition, but he fails to recognize that currently, the wealthy have school choice in being able to afford private schooling.
It is the poor who benefit from school voucher programs aimed at them by giving those parents the choice of schools their children can attend.
Even Prince must recognize that with school choice through a voucher system that targets the poor, schools must be more accountable to parents and attain higher standards.
While Prince would like to dismiss private schools as a crazy thought, I would invite him to compare the costs. According to the Department of Education, the average cost of private elementary and secondary education is $3,116, less than half the cost per pupil in the average public school, $6,857. His proposed solution to improve failing schools by dumping even more money and resources into them is clearly refuted by this figure. I would ask him how private schools do so much better with so much less.
The No Child Left Behind Act carries these ideas in pushing for greater choice for parents when schools fail for three consecutive years. To leave parents with no option when the schools fail is the nightmare, not the NCLB Act. My only issue with the NCLB Act is that it should have been carried out on a state level where it could be adjusted to local issues, and not by the federal government according to the 10th Amendment.
One would have to ask who would oppose giving greater choice to parents and encouraging accountability among schools. The answer would rest in the teachers unions, specifically the NEA and the AFT. The NEA and the AFT represent almost 100 percent of the market for teacher representation services, and they operate under a noncompetitive agreement, effectively monopolizing education at the local level. The teachers unions provide the greatest opposition to the school voucher program, as well as any effort to empower parents.
I would applaud Prince if he chose to not join the NEA or the AFT because of these policies, but if he chooses to support these policies by joining, then yes, I will blame him for keeping children in failing schools. If the government is going to fail the children, then it is because of the influence wielded by the unions despite the efforts of reformers to expand choice and accountability of schools.

What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?
In this day and age, it seems that there are ever-present divisions between groups of people, including religious and cultural groups. The divisions between Islam and Christianity seem particularly great, and closing that gap can seem bleak. Recently, experts have said the two religions share more than either the common Muslim or Christian thought.
The issues takes on importance at the University of Kansas where cultural differences exist, but are not always apparent. Many students from different backgrounds are ignorant of other cultures and backgrounds, and are not always given the opportunity to learn more.
Yusuf Estes, a Muslim sheik who was once a Christian preacher, is one such person.
In an article he wrote that appeared in, the Rutgers
News he said, "There are so many misunderstandings and misconceptions about Islam. As Christians, Jews and Muslims, we are all Abrahamic people who believe in the oneness of God. We believe in the same God."
Arabiamics are those who can trace their origins back to Abraham, who is thought to have led his people into the land chosen for
Many of the world's problems could be fixed with just一 as Elvis Costello put it一 a little peace, love and understanding. Emphasis on the understanding part.
appeared in the Rutgers University paper, Estes said he believed that Christianity and Islam were two of the closest religions in the world. "We have a high respect for the Bible," he said, and added that parts of the Bible appear in the Koran.
Other experts also point out that Jesus unites the religions.
Bashir G. Ahmed, a trustee with the Islamic Council of Ohio, said religious education is important. In the Dayton Daily
According to an article in the The Times London by William Dalrympl, there were images of Jesus' birth and childhood depicted in Islamic art.
He also noted that there were distinct similarities between Christian and Islamic practices, such as the Christian Lent, which includes fasting and repentance. Lent can be directly tied to the Islamic feast of Ramadan, which also concerns fasting and repentance.
them by God.
Some Muslims feel misunderstood in the United States, where the religious culture is dominated by Christianity. In an article in the Houston Chronicle, Azhur Haneef, Muslim scholar, said, "Islam means peace. There are so many misconceptions about the religion of Islam. It is simply about obedience to God and to be at peace through the submission to all of creation."
Christians are attempt-
Christians are attempting to make amends. In the same article, David Capes, chairman of the Department of Christianity and Philosophy at Houston Baptist University, said, "It may well be that what we know about Islam is wrong at worst and partial at best." He said the department hopes for religions to better understand one another.
If both Muslims and Christians come to realize Capes' goal, there is hope for universal understanding.
This understanding has the possibility for monumental change — maybe even a more peaceful world. But this will never happen unless people open their minds to other cultures and other ways of thinking. The key is to want to learn about other cultures, to understand people, and to treat others with respect.

To SAVE or to SPLURGE on one's tax return
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students plan their spending
With tax returns due soon and refunds usually sent six to eight weeks later, students have time to plan what they want to do with their government checks. The refund checks can be deposited earlier with e-file and direct deposit than with traditional paper returns, according to the IRS's Web site. www.irs.gov.
The student returns can vary from a few dollars to more than $1,000. Refunds are based on a filer's marital status, wages and outside income, such as stocks.
Some students use the money for necessities.
"I am going to put a lot of it toward school costs," said Ryan Henderson, Clearwater senior. "It will be nice to save it for next semester."
Henderson said he would be getting a few hundred dollars back this year.
Other students say they will save the money and either use the money toward tuition or loans.
"I am transferring to American University," said Katherine Whitson, Prairie Village sophomore. "The living costs are about three times as expensive as they are in Lawrence."
"I'm using that money to help pay for a road trip to New Orleans," said Jon Haugh, Leawood senior. "That money is going to help me get there for less than I would have started with."
However, amid the frugal saving and careful spending, some students prefer to spend their money now.
Other students said they would use their refund for rent, utilities and groceries.
Each student will have his own expenditures, but the trends this year seem to be either saving or splurging. The size and timing of the refund will determine each person's options.
Still, some students are saving the money to help pay for trips, either on spring break or this summer.
"I really want to save, and I plan on it," Henderson said. "But there will probably be a portion of it that goes to video games or just money for going out."

Cursed: theides of March
Call it the Jayhawk Curse. For the past few years, March has rolled around: The month of spring break, rain showers and penciled-in brackets, and the Kansas men's basketball team has limped into the NCAA Tournament, seemingly with more questions than answers.
Three years ago, Kansas steamrolled through the regular season, going a perfect 16-0 in conference play. Subsequently, the team was thumped by Oklahoma in the Big 12 Tournament. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Kirk Hinrich went down with a severe ankle sprain.
Two years ago the Jayhawks had to make their March run without then-sophomore forward Wayne Simien, who was out with a shoulder injury. And despite a 14-2 Big 12 mark, Kansas also got stuck with a No. 2 seed in the tournament in what many deemed the most difficult region of the bracket that year.
Going into this year's tournament, the word on everyone's lips is "Langford," as in Keith Langford, clutch scorer and slasher dynamo, who severely sprained his ankle in the opening minutes of last weekend's loss at Missouri. After playing with torn knee cartilage through much of last season, Langford had been healthy, more or less, through all of this year, starting all 27 games Kansas has played up to this point.
Of course, those years brought two Final Fours and an Elite Eight, so maybe the curse dies once the tournament gets under way. But at least in approaching March Madness, the ride just never seems to be that smooth.
And last March, the team played through injuries to key players like Simien, then-junior guard Keith Langford and then-freshman guard I.R. Giddens.
Enter the Jayhawk Curse. Last game of the regular season, and Langford goes down, and now his ankle is sports talk fodder for the rest of the month and another question mark for the team to ponder as the tournament draws closer. There's little doubt he'll play in the NCAA Tournament, but just how effective he'll be at slashing and pivoting — the kind of movement that is crucial to his offensive game — remains to be seen.
But it's more than injuries; it's momentum. Does anyone remember what it felt like three or four weeks ago when the team was 20-1, 10-0 in conference, looking at not just a No.1 seed in the tournament, but probably the No.1 overall seed? Fans were walking around with that smug "yeah, we're No.1 all the way to St. Louis" look on their faces, not a basketball care in the world.

Chance for three-peat
BY MIRANDA LENNING mlnending@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas assistant coaches Tim Jankovich and Kurtis Townsend were at Kemper Arena last night scouting out the Kansas State vs. Texas A&M game. They had bragging rights on who would advance to take on the lavhawks at 6 tonight.
Jankovich, a former K-State guard, thought the Wildcats would pull the off the upset. Townsend thought the Aggies would win.
So when the Wildcats won,
66-62, Jankovich flashed
Townsend the "I-told-you-so"
grin.
"He told me all the way here that K-State would win," Townsend said. "Now I'm going to have to hear about it all night."
On a more serious note, facing an opponent three times in one season is no joke — especially when you've already defeated them twice.

Kansas faced a similar situation last year. They defeated Missouri twice in the regular season and again in the Big 12 Tournament. The final victory came in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament, just six days after Kansas defeated Missouri in the final game of its regular season. Tonight's match-up will be the second between Kansas and K-State in the last nine days, something the Wildcats think is to their advantage.
"It's hard to beat a team three times in a year," K-State sophomore guard Fred Peete said. "The dice don't always roll your way."
Kansas State senior forward Justin Williams said he wanted his team's play to make the third time a charm for the Wildcats.
"It's going to be tough for them to beat us three times because we are going to bring a lot of energy and we are not going to bow down just because it is Kansas," he said.
The Jayhawks will have to do a better job of containing Kansas State senior forward Jeremiah Massey if they want to advance to tomorrow's third

KANSAN SWITTER WRITER
For the six KU track and field members heading into the NCAA Indoor Championships, this weekend marks the moment they've been training for all year. For Amy Linnen, the road to the NCAAs was full of speed bumps, detours and pot holes. But she's ready. She's been there before. And for the past two years, she's worked from the ground up to try to make it back after injuries and changing schools.
The senior from Westhampton Beach, N.Y., automatically qualified for the National Championships at the Big 12 Championships February 26th with the jump of 13 feet, 9.25 inches. With one look at Linnen's resume, you wouldn't expect anything less.
Linnen qualified for Nationals in 2002 and broke the national women's pole-vaulting record with a jump of 14 feet, 10.25 inches.
As a high school senior she claimed the No.1 prep pole-
vaulter position, held the junior pole vaulting record and was heavily recruited.
"Being from New York, I wanted to go somewhere warm," Linnen said.
She signed with Arizona, where she met coach Tom Havs.
"He made me laugh, and we had a good connection," Linnen said.
She said he was the main reason she chose Arizona.
"I got an aggressive attitude towards the vault," she said. "All my timing was together."
After Hays coached Linnen to her record-breaking year in 2002, he left Arizona and became coach at Johnson County Community College. After he left, Linnen couldn't fill the void, she said.
"I was not happy with the situation with new coaches, and I missed him." Linnen said. "I was not happy going to Arizona".
Linnen coped with injuries as well. She tore her tricep during her sophomore year and tore a muscle in her foot during her junior year.

The team will practice until April 16, when the practice will end at the annual spring game held in Memorial Stadium. Wednesday's practice will be open to the public. The date and place of that practice have not yet been announced.
The spring practices will include many junior college players who transferred to Kansas for the spring semester
and will play for the team next season. Many are expected to shoulder a large load on the offensive and defensive lines.
Depth charts will also get a little clearer after practices finish, as many positions will be very competitive, including the quarterback position. Sophomore Adam Barmann, junior Brian Luke, junior Jason Swanson and freshman Marcus Herford will compete for the starting job.

"It's great to be back at the friendly confines of Arrocha Ballpark," coach Tracy Bunge said.
Kansas will play a double header today. It will face Louisville at 1 p.m. and Southwest Missouri State at 3 p.m.
The Jayhawks are coming off an impressive showing at the Kay Brechtelsbauer Classic last weekend in Carbondale, Ill. Kansas went 3-1, defeating Ball State, Southern Illinois and Valparaiso before losing the rematch to Southern Illinois, 4-2, in the championship.
Despite losing in the championship, Bunge said a devastating loss could help the team grow stronger.
"As a coach, it's nice to know we're not playing our best ball vet." she said.
The defense has remained consistent throughout the season. Led by Destiny Frankenstein, cocaptain and junior shortstop, the Jayhawks have posted an impressive .969 fielding percentage.
The team has improved offensively this season, hitting .252 at the plate. Frankenstein leads the Jayhawks with a .380 average. Jessica Moppin, junior second baseman, leads the team with 13 RBI and four home runs while posting a .283 average.
"We need to stay aggressive on offense. Both at the plate and on the bases," Bunge said.
The Jayhawks will play another double header at 11 a.m on Saturday against Louisville and Southwest Missouri State at 1 p.m. They will finish the tournament at 11 a.m. Sunday against Louisville.

▼ BIG 12 MEN'S BASKETBALL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Missouri is now eligible for the NIT.
After defeating No. 9 seed Nebraska 70-67 in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament yesterday, the No. 8 seed Tigers improved their record to 16-15 and assured themselves of at least a .500 record.
It was the third time this season that Missouri triumphed against Nebraska. The Tigers rode the back of sophomore forward Linas Kleiza, who scored 26 points and pulled down 11 rebounds — his third double-double of the year against the Cornhuskus.
"They were trying to stop him from getting touches," Missouri coach Quin Snyder said. "But he didn't show any frustration and passed up shots to get the ball to his teammates. Those are the unselfish kind of things that I like."
Nebraska wouldn't go away quietly, though. Guard Jason Dourisseau hit a layup to cut the lead to nine with 11:30 left. On the next possession Charles Richardson made a three-pointer, and shortly after Jake Mulheisen connected on two free throws to pull Nebraska within four.
The Tigers jumped on top of the Cornhuskers early and held a seven-point lead at halftime. Missouri increased its lead to 15 points by starting the second period with a 12-4 run.
Both teams failed to score on the next two possessions and Kleiza was fouled. He made one free throw, and Nebraska, trailing by three, had one last chance to force overtime.
Nebraska brought the Kemper Arena crowd to its feet with just one minute remaining in the game. Mulheisen tipped in an air ball, pulling the Cornhuskers within two points.

Missouri forward Linas Kleiza is fouled by Nebraska forward Wes Wilkinson in the last seconds of their game during the first round of the Big 12 Tournament yesterday in Kansas City, Mo. Kleiza converted one of two free throws and made the score 70-67. Nebraska missed a desperation three-point attempt as time expired on the next possession.
Iowa State opened the game with a 17-0 run and never looked back. All five Cyclone starters scored double figures, and Baylor never got within striking distance.

"We had great intensity when the game began," Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan said. "I think that's what won us the game."
The most exciting thing that happened from that point on was seeing Iowa State freshman forward Aaron Agnew enter the game. The 6-foot-10 385-pounder wowed the crowd with a blocked shot in the game's last minute.
After trailing for most of the ballgame, Massey sparked the Wildcats by scoring eight straight points.

Jayhawks to play in the Lone Star State today
WOMEN'S GOLF
The women's golf team begins its second tournament of the season today in Austin, Texas. The Jayhawks will compete in the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational through Sunday, playing a total of three rounds at the Texas Golf Club.
The Jayhawks will send a team of five players, plus one medalist who will play individually. Nine of the 16 teams competing against the Jayhawks are in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State and Colorado are the only two conference teams not playing.
The team will try to rebound from finishing 14 out of 15 at the Texas A&M "Mo"morial Invitaton, O'Neil said the team struggled with distance, and received almost no roll after the ball landed due to wet grass.
"It's probably the strongest field we will face until the Big 12 Tournament," coach Erin O'Neil said. "We are looking at this week as a Big 12 preview."
"Some of the girls had seven woods into par fives for their third shots." O'Neil said.
This week, the weather will not be
a factor in keeping the Jayhawks from success. The forecast calls for clear skies with highs in the 70s all weekend.
O'Neil said the team had been working hard on course management and trying to make better choices. She also said yesterday's practice round went very well, and that the team was already showing signs of better decision making.
"The last week or so, we've been getting them to use different clubs and teaching them new shots," O'Neil said.
Sophomore Jill Womble said the team was just fired up.
"We're just going to pick out targets, watch our aim, and imagine the shots that we want to hit," Womble said. "We're going to be focused and stay positive while we're out there.
The women's tennis team comes home for the first time this season.
Last year at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn invitational, the Jayhawks finished in 15th out of 18 teams competing.

"Ostermann is a very talented player," Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "If Liza comes in with a competitive mind, I think she'll do fine."
Ostermann, who has won 20 of her last 24 matches, enters the match ranked 25th in the country, according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Avdeeva, who joined the Jayhawks just two weeks before the season began in January, has won three of her last four matches.

With two weeks before Big 12 Conference play kicks off, Kansas still has some work to do, starting tonight against North Dakota State.
aff Reports
The Bison (0-7-1) will visit the Jayhawks (13-8) for the first of North Dakota State's 11 games on the road. Kansas will return home after going 1-3 in the NBC Classic in Starkville, Miss., last weekend.
biggest ales,
North Dakota State, playing its first year in Division I, has not faced an opponent since Feb. 26. That game against Sacramento State ended in a 4-4 tie.
North Dakota State's search for its first victory continues against an improving Jayhawk team. Although the win count at the NBC Classic was not what Kansas wanted, coach Ritch Price said his team made large steps toward solid defense and trustworthy pitching.
"I would hope that we would continue to make progress in both of those areas so we can get on a consistent basis," he said. "We need to play well every weekend defensively."
Junior shortstop Ritchie Price had a large role in the defensive turnaround for the Jayhawks in Mississippi. Price, who had 13 errors last season, has accumulated nine in the team's first 21 games. But he played perfect defense against ranked opponents Stanford and Mississippi State earlier in the year.
"He is such an impact player at the position he plays," Ritch Price said. "I think anytime you start talking about team defense you start at catcher, then shortstop and then to centerfield."
Junior outfielder Jared Sullivan leads the Bison starters at the plate, hitting .350 thus far. Equally important is his .519 on-base percentage. Sullivan's talent also extends to the mound, as he is scheduled to start in game one on Friday.
Charles Magedanz, junior second baseman, is tied for the top spot in RBI with five while hitting at a .278 clip.
Despite the offensive production, the Bison, coached by Mitch McLead, are hitting .201 as a team while opponents average more than a hundred points higher at.304.
Kansas seems to be averaging the opposite, hitting .299 as a team, while holding its opponents at .235. But the Jayhawks have left 197 runners on base versus their opponents' 158.
"We need to continue to make progress with runners in scoring position, particularly with two outs," Price said. "We've done a nice job of bunching 10 or 11 hits together, but we haven't been bunching them with runners in scoring position."
Junior outfielders Gus Milner, A.J. Van Slyke and Matt Baty have been leading the way at the
plate for the Jayhawks. Milner leads the starters with a .375 batting average. Van Slyke has hit three home runs to lead the team runs. No Jayhawk has been to the plate more than Baty's 88 times, and he still has a .344 batting average.
Heading into today's game,
North Dakota State's pitching
staff has compiled a 8.60 ERA
while Kansas' pitchers are at 3.52.
Senior left-hander Mike Zagurski will take the mound in the series opener. Zagurski (3-2) has been the most consistent Kansas starter. His 3.03 ERA is overshadowed by his 47 to 9 strikeouts to walk.
Sophomore left-hander Sean Land (2-1) is penciled in for tomorrow along with junior right-hander Kodiak Quick (4-1) on Sunday. Price said senior right-hander Clint Sambach (2-2) and junior closer Don Czyz were scheduled to come out of the bullpen.
"We're going to try and set these two weeks up to go into the Big 12," Price said of the rotation.
Sullivan (0-1), the righthanded Bison starter, leads the team with 13 innings pitched. He has compiled a 7.62 ERA. No North Dakota State starting pitcher has thrown past the sixth inning vet this season.

round. In the first match-up with the Wildcats, Massey scored 20 points. In the March 2 contest he made 17. Neither of those games were easy victories for the Jayhawks.
Another problem the Wildcats pose is a rigid zone defense — something that has given the Jayhawks problems all year. Without senior guard Keith Langford, who will not play in tomorrow's game, senior guards Mike Lee and Aaron Miles and sophomore forward J.R. Giddens will have to penetrate the zone and knock down some shots.
"Kansas is a great team with Wayne Simien out there," Wooldridge said. "We are going to have to find another gear tomorrow. We are going to have to play better defense on him, we are going to have to execute better on offense. There are a lot of keys to beating a team like Kansas."
But it's Big 12 player of the year Wayne Simien that K-State coach Jim Wooldridge is most concerned about. He exploded for 25 points and 20 rebounds on the Wildcats in the last contest.
Some people say the third time is a charm, but Massey said the Wildcats wouldn't need luck, they would just need to play hard.
"We know KU is one of the best teams in the country, but we are a great team too," Massey said. "We are just going to go out there and fight and hopefully come out with a win."

tough games against the likes of Kansas State or Texas A&M, and in all likelihood, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
And right now, with Langford ailing and the team on a 2-4 cold streak and the Jayhawk Curse rearing its ugly head, what comes next could be anything.

"I've had a lot of injuries that lowered my confidence, but you can't do anything about it," Linnen said.
Linnen followed Hays to Johnson County. She trained there for the summer, then Hays suggested she compete at the University of Arkansas.
"He encouraged me and said that they had the same coaching philosophy," Linnen said.
When she couldn't get eligi
bility to attend class there, she was stuck. But by fall, Kansas hired Hays as its vertical jumps coach. Linnie knew where she needed to go.
"He's definitely had an impact. We have a relationship where I can have confidence with what he says." Linnen said.
Back with her coach, Linnen said she anticipated competing at a national level again.
"I've gone through a lot of emotions," Linnen said. "I wanted to compete in the NCAAs my senior year. Hearing my name followed by KU was
shocking at first, but I've made the adjustment."
"At the nationals, anything can happen. I want to win," Linnen said. "That's my goal, and I'm capable of doing it."
Linnen said that the team, coaches and teammates had welcomed her. "I feel the community is nice, and with the KU relays, people really know
about track. And the history. Just look at the records."
"I want to continue at KU. I'd like to continue training with the team, like Leo (Bookman) does. I haven't hit my potential yet."
As for after this season, Linnen said she definitely felt at home training in Lawrence.
It's a long road toward qualifying in the National Indoor Championships. When it's finished, Amy Linnen will have logged more miles than anyone.

This one has me stumped...
...Four letters... Starts with a "B," ends with an "R." Looks like two vowels in the middle, and the clue is: "Dumbass."

▼ HOROSCOPES
+ Today's Birthday. Great wealth can be yours this year, and you don't even have to gamble. It's more likely this comes because of who you are, or what you've done.
- Arnes (March 21-April 19) Today are a 7 you can get a lot farther much faster today and tomorrow. Take care.
Although speed is achievable, there still are obstacles. Luckily, you're agile, too.
- ★ Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
All of a sudden there’s too much to do and not enough time to do it. Don’t you just hate when that happens? It’s temporary. Stay in the fight.
- Gemini (May 21-June 2) Today is
6. Friends are eager to give you
the opinions on everything. You
won't even have to ask, they'll call
right up to tell you. Make up your
own mind.
+ Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 9.
A very strong personality blocks your way at first, it seems. Actually, this person can help you achieve a goal you've long sought. Play along.
Leo July 23-Aug. 22 Today is a 4.
Hopefully, the planning is done.
There's no time left for that. The activity,
whatever it is, is fully under way.
Give it your full attention.
♦ Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Today is a 6.
Sorting through the paperwork is a
good place to start. You'll find enough
money in there to get what you need
for the house, most likely.
- Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 6. A strong, self-centered person would like to make all the decisions. Instead of arguing, you might request he or she do just that. You need all the rest you can get.
- Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an
8. No more procrastination. Dig into
that stack of stuff. You'll work more
quickly now because there's no time left to goof off.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is 7, a Romance is highly favored this weekend, and you're lucky, too. Travel doesn't look all that good, unless you go with a Leo companion. That works.
+ Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7. You've been considering making some changes at home for quite a time. Over the next two days, that is most probably going to happen. Make plans.
- Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a
7. Spend some of your newfound
wealth on your own education. Even if
you have lots of degrees, you can
always find room for more.
- Pisces (Fab. 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
An important person is in a generous mood. This is to your benefit, possibly quite soon. Accept a gift graciously.

Imagine participating in a sport with a season that runs from September to May. Now imagine not being able to practice for half of the season. The team still plays the games, only without working on team strengths or weaknesses.
Welcome to the world of the KU Sailing Club. While most of the other teams in its league are from warmer climates and can practice year-round, cold Kansas weather prevents the team from practicing from about Thanksgiving through spring break.

The scores for each school's A and B teams are added together and, just like in golf, low score wins. In addition, when a boat breaks one of the racing rules, they have to complete a 720 degree spin before continuing. Because races are often decided by less than 30 feet, this is a major setback.
"We have started really slow in the last few regattas," said captain Tim Fitzgerald, Wichita sophomore. "This seems to be a product of our lack of practice, especially during the cold season. It really is something to compete as we are against teams from the south."
Team members hope KU students and Lawrence citizens will come out to support them. Their upcoming regatta will start mid-morning and end about 3 p.m. on April 16 at Clinton Lake.
In college sailing, a regatta is the equivalent of a tournament and consists of individual races. The number of races depend on the number of teams competing, usually between 12 and 18. Each team brings one boat to the race, however, instead of using only its boat, each team uses every boat that is at the race. This allows for no team to have an unfair advantage.
"We are at a disadvantage from other teams because we don't have as many people come out who have been sailing all their life," Fitzgerald said. "We often train people to sail with little or no experience. It makes it a lot more difficult to start from scratch."
team to improve. In addition to training new members and coaching themselves, the team has to pay for equipment upkeep and supplies.
"We have to do our own fundraising and boat maintenance, which better-funded schools don't have to deal with," Fitzgerald said. "I guess that's why we're so motivated to win."
been successful this year, consistently placing in the top five in overall standings.
"It's been going pretty well this year," said jillian Moritz, a fifth-year senior from Columbia, Mo. "This has been a rebuilding year because we are very young and inexperienced. Once we start practicing again, I think we'll be able to step it up a little."
Because the team doesn't have a coach, Fitzgerald said, experienced team members have to step up and fulfill leadership roles in order for the
Recruitment is another obstacle for the team.
"College sailing is the best version of the sport for spectators, because you can really see what's going on," Fitzgerald said. "It'll be a great day to grab a grill and cooler and head to the lake to cheer us on."

PARKING COMMISSION
Price of parking
Maintenance, new lot likely to cause increase

KANANST WORK WRITER
Sometime after spring break, the University of Kansas' parking commission will decide how much more it will cost to park a car at the University next fall.
Last Friday the parking commission met again to discuss the future of parking at the University, including both longterm planning and short-term goals, such as establishing rates. It was the commission's second meeting regarding permit price increases.
Revenue generated from a possible parking-rate increase would help finance maintenance of existing lots and construction of a new Park and Ride lot.
A Park and Ride iot would take a lot of pressure off of the main campus and would help keep permit oversell down, Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said.
mutton, Tom Mulinazzi, head of the parking commission, said during the meeting March 4. The lot would take about a year or two to build, he said.
A new 1,500-space Park and Ridot lot would cost close to $7
The commission's first priority is setting parking rates for
next fall and was the main topic of discussion during Friday's meeting.
Members of the commission suggested solutions such as raising parking rates a certain percentage for all permits or only raising rates on certain permits.
Tom Mulinazzi, head of the parking commission, said he would like to see a wider range

NCAA TOURNAMENT
No.3 seeding sprouts tough run for Kansas
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
The. Kansas basketball players trickled into the eighth-floor press box in Memorial Stadium at about 4:45 p.m. yesterday. Greeted by media members and Kansas administrators, the players headed back to athletics director Lew Perkins' suite to watch the NCAA selection show and eat some barbeque.
After two weeks of ups and downs on the court, the Jayhawks knew their seed could go up and down as well.
"I really didn't know what to expect," senior guard Mike Lee said. "But it's not about seeding, it's about match-ups."
But none of them appeared surprised after the selection committee gave them a No. 3 seed in the Syracuse regional. They didn't really seem to care.
That is where things get interesting for the Jayhawks. CBS analyst Billy Packer said the Jayhawks' bracket — which includes North Carolina, Wisconsin, Florida and defending national champion Connecticut — was one of the most difficult in NCAA history. Additionally, the possibility of a match-up with North Carolina and former Kansas coach Roy Williams was on everyone's mind.
"That would be incredible," senior guard Keith Langford said. "I'd be lying to myself if I said that there weren't story lines behind the way the brackets were set up."
Before they can even think about a potential Elite Eight match-up with the Tar Heels, the Jayhawks have to get past their first round game against No. 14 seed Bucknell.
The Jayhawks will face the 22-9 Bison Friday at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, a location that Kansas coach Bill Self had hoped the Jayhawks would play.
PAST SEEDS
During the past eight years, the Jayhawks have never lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and have always been seeded No. 8 or higher in their region.
"I'm happy we're playing in
Year Seed Exit round
1997 1 Sweet Sixteen
1998 1 Second Round
1999 6 Second Round
2000 8 Second Round
2001 4 Sweet Sixteen
2002 1 Final Four
2003 2 Championship Game
2004 4 Elite Eight
2005 3 TBD

Oklahoma City." Self said. "I hope it's not a distraction, but I am really happy we will be going there."
If the Jayhawks can defeat the Bison on Friday, they would advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and play on Sunday. They would hook up with the winner of Wisconsin vs. Northern Iowa, a fairly difficult match-up for a second round game.
Bucknell received an automatic tournament bid by winning the Patriot League Tournament. However, it put themselves on the national radar on Jan. 2, when they beat then-ranked No. 7 Pittsburgh at home.
After the Oklahoma State loss on Saturday, Self said he thought the team would receive a No. 2 seed. However, numerous conference tournament
"It's not disappointing that we're a No. 3," Self said. "But certainly the committee didn't do this three any favors when it comes to match-ups."
That would be a reflection of the Jayhawks No. 3 seed and the difficulty of their bracket.

That is where Nelson comes in. "It's like a picture puzzle for small chili-
dren," Nelson said. "You figure out what belongs and what doesn't."
Examining facial structure is the easiest way to identify a person, Nelson said. He said he looked at the shape of a person's face or the way they smiled to identify them.
"I don't even know I do it until I look at pictures later and say, 'This can't be him. He parted his hair on the other side,'" Nelson said.
The master identifier knows his gift is strange. "I guess even the most bizarre trivia is useful," he said.
Nelson's expertise comes from working for Congress for 30 years in Washington, D.C. before retiring and returning to Lawrence.
He worked as an adviser on both the House of Representatives foreign affairs committee and permanent select committee on intelligence. During his tenure he spent

Latino sororities fraternities meet
Latino sororities and fraternities from around the nation took part in activities, workshops and social events last weekend in the Kansas Union.
The second annual Latino Greek Leadership Conference featured nine greek organizations from Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Maryland. The Multicultural Resource Center hosted the event.
Juan Izqaquirre, conference chair and assistant director of the MRC, said the theme of the conference, "Ahora es El Tiempo" or "Now is the Time," was about the opportunities for Greek organizations to have more of a voice on campuses nationwide.
"We are Latino brothers and sisters first, and members of our organizations second," Izaguirre said.
He said the conference gave the nine organizations an opportunity to meet new friends and talk about ways to advance the Latino greek community.
Jose Interiano, Wichita senior, was one of 11 members of Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity to volunteer at the conference, assisting 40 participants in workshops and activities. Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority volunteered at the conference as well.
"The goal is to have our participants be leaders in their respective communities," Interiano said.
Activities at the conference included workshops on how to prevent discrimination, deal with derogatory terms, hate speech and hate crimes.
Izaguirre said a separate workshop gave information about each organization and what it stood for, and allowed participants to see the similarities of the nine unaffiliated organizations.
Other workshops included ways to raise money, market, recruit and retain members, he said.

The warning systems will cycle through two warnings followed by an all-clear announcement.
Those buildings testing their systems will have a notice posted outside to alert people that a test will occur at that time, Bailey said.
People are also advised that not to seek shelter during the test, but are encouraged to consider what actions they would take in the event of severe weather situation. Bailey said.
The University is conducting this test in conjunction with the National Weather Service's Annual Tornado Drill.

He said he could even recognize some people by the backs of their heads. He attributes this ability to his many days of sitting behind congressmen at meetings and hearings.
"I don't suppose anyone can contradict my authority on that." Nelson said.
Nelson finds clues that "ordinary" people would never notice, Bischoff said. He has an incredible memory for obscure information, she said.
In an average day, Nelson identifies about 15 to 20 photographs in a three-hour period. Boxes filled with file folders surround him as he flips through pictures, looking through his tortoise-colored glasses.
"Sometimes you just double up with laughter." Nelson said.
And he has a personal story for each politician.
But Nelson has to be careful. People's weight and hair can change. That means people might look different from the way Nelson remembers them.
"Sometimes people have more hair in the picture than when you knew them," he said.
Every now and then Nelson can't remember the name of someone he recognizes. Politicians' wives, constituents and foreign representatives are the hardest people to remember, he said.
If he is lucky, the photo will have a date and event information stamped on the back that will give him clues to who might be in the photo. But often the photos have no identification at all.

"Sometimes you have no idea what year it is." Nelson said. "Sometimes the people's hair-styles will help you guess."

of congressional directories. But most of the time his guesses are on the mark, and the directories are just verification of his memory.
Nelson said he planned to continue volunteering at the Dole Institute to help identify photos.
"These photos will be a treasure trove for historians and people who want to know how things were," Nelson said.

Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, expressed concern about raising the rates too much. If the price of a permit is too high, people won't buy them anymore. Dunlap said.

Chief Ralph Oliver, KU Public Safety Office, said during the meeting that parking at the University is substantially less compared to other schools.

"Parking here is dirt cheap," he said. "And people are used to it being dirt cheap."
Before the parking commission
makes a decision about next fall's parking rates, the commission will hold an open forum at 1:15 p.m. on Thursday at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
During the forum the commission will present information regarding next fall's parking rates, as well as any other questions or concerns that people have.
Hultine said the parking commission would like input from people who use campus parking.
"I really hope people will come and hear all the options and all the ways we can go," Hultine said.
The forum is also an opportunity for students to come and give their perspective on parking at the University, Dunlap said.

losses by potential high seeds like Connecticut, Kentucky, Duke, Wake Forrest and Arizona, shifted the seeding. Illinois, North Carolina, Duke and Washington received No.1 seeds.
The Jahawks were bounced from a No. 2 seed by Wake Forest, Kentucky, Connecticut and Oklahoma State.
Self said he didn't think there was a big difference between a No. 2 seed and a No. 3 seed.
"The way I figured it out was that we would be a three because Oklahoma State would be a No. 2, and I didn't think our league would get two No. 2 seeds," Self said.

FORT SCOTT — A federal team has joined the investigation into a fire that caused an estimated $10 million in damage Friday to Fort Scott's historic downtown business district.
Self said the Jayhawks probably would have earned a No. 2 if they had defeated the Cowboys.
FBI joins investigation of fire in Fort Scott
A man stopped by the basketball offices yesterday and dropped off a box of T-shirts. After the selection show, the players came out, each bearing the shirt.
But the players said that was all history. "We landed where we did," sophomore J.R. Giddens said. "Luckily for us, that was in a basketball gym. I'm not into sites and seeding. We gotta go out and win a game."
"DESTINATION: ST. LOUIS," the front of the shirt read. But it was the back that summed up the Jayhawks' attitude going into the NCAA Tournament.
Fifteen agents from the National Response Team of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will sift through the rubble of the nine destroyed buildings and four others that were damaged in the wind-whipped blaze. The fire is believed to have started about 2 p.m. Friday at a bar in the middle of one of three blocks of historic buildings on

ATF developed the unit in 1978 to help federal, state and local investigators in cases where arson or explosives may have played a role in a large fire. But ATF spokesman Paul Marquardt said there is no indication that the Fort Scott blaze was intentionally set.
John Williams, special agent in charge of the NRT team in Fort Scott, said the federal agents have resources that the local and state officials don't have.
He said the group is likely to be in town for three or four days, depending on the stability of the damaged buildings - some of which were at risk of collapsing.

More than 3,500 people attended the Rock Chalk Revue this weekend in the Lied Center, an annual variety show performed by greek organizations. Proceeds of the show will go to the United Way of Douglas County.
Pre-ticket sales generated $18,000. Donations were still being calculated yesterday, Craig Van Blaricum, Rock Chalk business manager, said.
Delta Gamma sorority and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity won the award for best overall show, "Double Booked." The musical comedy featured a squabble in a camp between bird watchers and hunters. The conflict came from the two groups reserving the same weekend to watch and hunt birds.
Nine greek organizations participated in Rock Chalk's 56th show.

JORDAN'S JARGON
Conscription can provide opportunity to unite classes
...
Last October, a bill to reinstate the draft by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., was crushed in the House 402-2. Apparently the draft is more unpopular than the war.
Nonetheless, draft supporters like conscription because it distributes the burden of wartime service
JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
to all Americans. The draft would assemble an army of people from all walks of American life. Yet even if the draft supports equality it still sends people to war.
But what if every young man and woman, like all of us on the campus of the University of Kansas, served a year of national community service?
After they graduated high-school or turned 20, whichever happened first, they would go on a tour of manual labor, disaster aid, social work, medical work or some other task of need. We'd have the equality of compulsory service without the moral hang-up of sending people to war.
Before you quit reading because you saw the words 'compulsory' and 'community service', let's consider the benefits of mandated national service.
Wealthy families can put their children on an exclusive track of schools and connections to success.
First, compulsory service eases class separation in America.
Inversely, poor migrant families often must put their children on another path of hard labor to support the family.
Regardless of how one feels about each situation, the contact between the two groups is next to nil.
But compulsory service would bring together every person in the country for the same work and purpose. For one year, Jane Millionaire and Joe Migrant Worker would share the same duty and be in the same boat.
Second, compulsory service gives the nation a huge foundation of improvement for the nation. Two million people turned 18 last year. Two million people can build a lot of homes, clean a lot of communities, give aid to a lot of people and respond to a lot of emergencies.
Third, compulsory service gives all Americans opportunity.
Many who couldn't otherwise travel would see parts of the United States
they never thought about. Young people sheltered by wealth would glimpse on the rest of America.
Finally, compulsory service provides structure to every young person. The scale and organization would give work experience, as well as accomplishment, to young people right at the moment they need it.
The college-bound would experience manual labor before going to school and the working classes would get to work to improve the nation, not just to put food on the table.
In truth, one year of mandatory service seems like an enormous burden to most youth. Who wants to give a year to the government?
ROCK TALK
But it would be a shared burden. Who could complain if everyone had the same requirement? At least everyone could complain together. Compulsory service would give a free topic of conversation to all.
Bob and his friend could be lifelong friends thanks to their service. Like army buddies, but without the horror of battle and death. Rich and poor, black and white. All together in one huge national graduating class into adulthood, every year.
"Hey Bob, remember working in '09? Can you believe we had to do that crap! We built that VA Hospital after that skyscraper fell on it during the earthouake."
Think about it. We could get a lot done, meet a lot of folks and help unify young people with a program of good will.
It'd be like Tom Brokaw's Greatest Generation — only every generation and without a war. Who can argue with that?

Reality TV audition shows falsity of television genre
ERICA PRATHER
eprather@kansan.com
While my roommates were busy helping The Wheel run out of beer during Homecoming last year, I was sitting alone in a Los Angeles hotel room, getting a play-by-play of Kansas' victory over Kansas State via text messaging.
I was in L.A. for a
screen test and psychological testing for a brand new show called "The Starlet" on the WB. This show has just wrapped up its second episode.
Now that I have watched two episodes of this debauchery, I am thanking my lucky stars I was not chosen to be one of the "fortunate" 10 women competing for the title of "The Starlet."
When I initially received the phone call informing me that I was one of the 24 semi-finalists and that I was going to receive an all-expenses paid trip to Hollywood, I was ecstatic. I began to envision myself waltzing down the red carpet, a small time Kansas girl turned star, posing for paparazzi and flirting with hot celebrities. This could be my big break.
Once I arrived in L.A., I was sent to a room filled with beautiful and skinny women. We all took a psychological test to make sure we were "sane" should we be chosen to live with each other for a few months.
After three hours of testing, we were all escorted individually to our rooms where we were to stay at all times so that we could not interact with the other contestants.
The remaining 48 hours of my trip consisted of sleeping, watching TV and living vicariously through my friends during a fun-filled Homecoming weekend back in Lawrence.
I performed a monologue for the producers on camera and had an interview. This interview consisted of questions such as, "What kind of people really make you angry? Would you ever do a lesbian love scene? Nudity?" I found it interesting how few questions were asked about my actual acting experience. I would know whether I was chosen for the show within two weeks.
During those two weeks, I had so much to think about. If I were chosen for the show, I would have to temporarily drop out of school. What if I made that commitment—and wasted money on college loans and living expenses—only to be the first girl cut from the show?
What if I made it and got an acting contract in L.A.?
My wish came true: I was informed that they had
My parents were not excited about this idea they were scared I would be ridiculed on national television. I began to wish I wouldn't be chosen.
their cast list, but they would keep me in mind for next season. While a part of me was disappointed, a part of me was relieved.
The experience gave me a unique insight into the world of reality TV. It seems as though everything can be seen as entertainment on television now; If it bleeds, cries or yells, it sells.
According to thewb.com, last Tuesday's episode of "The Starlet," consisted of "eight remaining aspiring actresses are put through a passion and seduction training session to prepare for a love scene." This love scene happened to be a lesbian love scene in a steamy hot tub.
This episode was built in because society just can't seem to get enough of hot, straight girls making out, not because some kind-hearted producer wants to give someone their lucky break. Only one of the girls on the show had a college education, so what happens to those people once their flash-in-a-pan life is over?
Perhaps I wasn't chosen because I wasn't dramatic enough, because I lacked starlet quality or because I just dyed my hair from blonde to brunette. Whatever the reason, I am grateful that I was not the one being called a "crack monkey" as was one of the poor contestants. While reality TV may be amusing, it is also a disgusting reflection on our society.
I have learned through first-hand experience that it's really not all that it's cracked up to be, and if you really want to pursue the art of acting, don't take the reality TV route. Shows such as "Laguna Beach," "The Real World," "America's Next Top Model!" and "The Starlet" all focus on the "interesting" lives of beautiful young people, and all have their appeal as a guilty pleasure. But take my word for it, reality TV is not real. The life you lead as a student in an awesome college town is much more exciting than any temporary small screen D-list fame.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Blanketsupportformilitaryshouldnot serve asaprerequisite forpatriotism
As one who purports to teach students how to write clearly, I thought that Brian Pearson's letter was actually quite good.
He encourages students to go beyond the headlines and easy labels, to think independently, and examine closely the issues facing our country.
He suggests that extremist statements made by someone like Ward Churchill ought to be balanced by the equally inflammatory rhetoric of an Ann Coulter. His letter was attacked by Lt. Laura Jefferies and I would like to respond to her letter.
One of the first lessons that I try to impress upon students is that they answer the question.
However, instead of addressing Pearson's key issue — those U.S. actions and policies which provoked the murderous hatred of the Sept. 11 terrorists — Lt. Jefferies, like many today in our professional military, begins to wave the flag and appeals to a not-so subtle desire for revenge.
Examining her letter closely provides a blueprint for understanding how this country traversed from the attacks of Sept. 11 to the war in Iraq, as though the two were somehow related.
She rightfully laments the loss of innocent life on Sept. 11, but then jumps to the statement
that "our military didn't attack Iraq's churches."
Between these two statements there is an abyss of either monumental ignorance or willful deceit.
The 9/11 Commission clearly stated that there was no connection whatsoever between the attacks of Sept. 11/Al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein/iraq. Still, the unprovoked attacks of Sept. 11 provide those who advocate the use of force with a powerful argument-regardless of the enemy.
Lt. Jefferies then goes into a long patriotic dia tribe, describing her sacrifices and why this country is so great, playing the star-spangled banner and sneering down at those spoiled college kids, who, unlike herself, have been called upon to "put their life on the line" to protect our freedoms. Please!
As a 20-year Army veteran myself, and one who loves this country, I would caution Lt. Jefferies that overt, flag-waving patriotism is often the last refuge for scoundrels. And that as a citizen of this country, whether in uniform or not, you have an obligation to not merely salute and move out smartly, but to sometimes question those policies and actions which may be detrimental to this country.

Saturday night samba fever
KU Brazilian group throws Carnaval bash
It was cold outside in Lawrence Saturday night, but inside Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., the night sizzled as the Brazilian Student Association brought a little bit of Brazil to the Midwest for its Carnival celebration.
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egarcia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The band Tambores do Brasil took the stage building up the excitement in the room
with each drum beat. Soon the dance floor was packed with partygoers dressed in yellow and green and ready to samba. From behind the audience, Dandara, the band's lead
"I just like it a lot,
singer, was carried onstage. She strutted onstage in a feathery headdress, whipping up the crowd in Portuguese.
As soon as the music started, hundreds of people on and off the dance floor moved to the music, including members of the student association, which calls itself BRASA.
Carnival is BRASA's biggest party.
Each year the group sells enough tickets to book the venue, book a band and still have money left over for next year's party.
CANDID CARNAVAL
- For more sights from Carnaval, go to kansan.com.
In Brazil, Carnaval celebrations span the four days just before Lent, similar in its Catholic origins to New Orleans' Mardi Gras festivities.
Terena Silva, Recife, Brazil, senior, said the party's success comes from its uniqueness and people's interest in Brazil.

BRASA sold out the 900 available tickets on Saturday afternoon.
"I just like it a lot, having everyone here sharing one culture." she said.
The BRASA event is the biggest Carnival party in the area.

11 hours on a train just to make, it to Carnaval.
Santos is an international student from Recife, Brazil. He said that the Brazilian community at Missouri did not have parties
as big as BRASA's Carnaval.
It is the second time for Jose Figueiredo, a São Paulo, Brazil, graduate student at Kansas State University.
He said he loves the opportunity to celebrate this festive event with fellow Brazilians.
Other KU international students came Saturday night to celebrate Carnaval.
Silva said there were more than 200 Brazilians at the party.
Mathieu Guillaume, graduate student from Besançon, France, went to Carnaval for the first time Saturday.
"It's good ambiance, very joyful," he said. "It makes you want to go back."

It's time to make NCAA bracket predictions
All right everyone, it's that time of year, tournament time, where we all claim to be experts. We tell ourselves that we know who the sleeper team is going to be in the tournament, who is going to be this year's Valparaiso.
or what it is worth, I'll give you my predic-
So for what it is worth, I tions on who is going to dance the longest, and what Kansas' potential slip-up game might be.
The Jayhawks didn't think they would get a No. 3 seed. Going into this past weekend's Big 12 Tournament, they were still in the hunt for a No. 1 seed. They played without their second leading scorer and nearly defeated one of the best teams in the nation. It does not make sense to give the team with the strongest schedule and the top RPI a No. 3 seed.
Look at the number of teams that the Jayhawks played out of conference that made it to the big dance. Vermont, Pacific, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Louisiana-Lafayette, Kentucky, Georgia Tech and Nevada all qualified.
If Kansas met up with North Carolina, it would likely result in the highest television ratings for a college basketball game in the past decade.
Despite the seed, it certainly could be a fun regional final. If Kansas met up with North Carolina, it would likely result in the highest television ratings for a college basketball game in the past decade. The media hype would be deafening. It would be an emotional game for both the players and the coaches.
Not only did Kansas get snubbed from a potential No. 2 or No. 1 seed, it is playing in the hardest bracket in the tournament. Florida and Connecticut are two of the hottest teams in the country right now. Connecticut is loaded with talent, and Florida manhandled Kentucky yesterday, winning by nearly 20.
The one redeeming thing about this bracket is the fact that the Jayhawks will be able to play their opening games in Oklahoma City. In such a tough bracket, the support of the Jayhawk faithful will certainly be helpful.
As for the upsets in this tournament, there are a couple of teams that I think could make some interesting runs. Villanova plays in the dreaded 5 vs. 12 game. Every year a No. 12 seed knocks of a No. 5 seed. Villanova's style of play makes it vulnerable.

Pole vaulter wins national championship, sets school record
BY PATRICK SHEHAN pshehan@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
Senior pole vaulter Amy Linnen reaffirmed her talent and re-established her dominance as a collegiate pole vaulter this weekend. But most notably, she repeated history, and earned a second national title.
Her victory in the women's pole vault came three years after her first national championship, when she broke the NCAA record with a jump of 14 feet, 8.50 inches. She won that title as an Arizona Wildcat.
Favetteville, Ark.
Linnen won the NCAA Indoor Championship in the women's pole vault, setting a Kansas record with a jump of 14 feet, 1.25 inches in
For Linnen, 2002 was special, but 2005 has been phenomenal, she said.
Linnen became the first jayhawk to win a women's national championship in nine years. Her jump this weekend reset the women's pole

vault record at Kansas, which has been rehashed several times this season. Linnen entered the competition as the fourth-ranked pole vaulter in the nation.
Linnen said. they're afraid
"I know in the rankings, it didn't really show," "But now, I think when they see my
name."
Linnen said she knew that she had everything to lose and everything to gain.
"She came here to win the meet, and not to win second or third," Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said.
She also knew the title wouldn't be handed to her.
"I went in with a competitive attitude and just got the job done," Linnen said.

Jayhawks take loss in stride ready for NCAA Tournament
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
The Jayhawks didn't leave Kansas City this weekend with more bling for the trophy case.
A close loss to Oklahoma State at the buzzer kept Kansas out of yesterday's Big 12 Tournament championship game.
But despite their early exit from the tournament, the Jayhawks left Kansas City, Mo., with more confidence, momentum and excitement going into this week's NCAA Tournament.
Kansas coach Bill Self said it was a good weekend for the Jayhawks. They handled Kansas State, 80-67, on Friday, and lost to Oklahoma State, 78-75, in one of the best basketball games of the Bio 12 Conference season.
"The K-State game, whether people want to admit it or not, that is a pressure game with the streak in people's minds," Self said. "And playing without Keith, and us losing the last game of the season to Missouri — that was a pressure game."
Kansas players showed heart, stepping up and filling in the absence of injured senior guard Keith Langford. In Friday's 80-67 victory against Kansas State, guards Jeff Hawkins and Mike Lee elevated their games, as the Jahawks once again rode the back of Big 12 Player of the Year Wayne Simien, senior forward. Hawkins, a junior, scored eight second-half points, while Lee, a senior, pulled down a career-high 11 rebounds. Simien scored 28 points and added 14 boards.
In Saturday's 78-75 loss to Oklahoma State — as much of a classic as the first match-up two weeks earlier — Kansas showed no signs of the stagnant team that fell to Missouri on March 6. Kansas fought hard, hit shots, and collectively, the Jayhawks played as well as they had since their 81-79 victory against the Cowboys on Feb. 27.
Lee scored 14 points while sophomore guard J.R. Giddens scored 11. Freshman forward C.J. Giles, who did not play in seven of the Jayhawks' last 12 games, contributed four points and two rebounds in 11 minutes. Most importantly, Giles' energetic defense helped contain the Cowboys' leading scorer, senior forward Joey Graham.
But the Jayhawks efforts weren't quite enough. After leading for almost the entire first half, the Jayhawks trailed 30-29 at halftime. The Cowboys got up by as many as 11 points, but the Jayhawks hit four-straight three-pointers and turned that into a one-point lead with 7:30 left.
A television time-out with 7:06 remaining killed Kansas' momentum, and Oklahoma State went on a 6-0 run, forcing the Jayhawks to play behind for the rest of the game.

Assistant job suits former Jayhawk walk-on
Brett Ballard proves to be as big of a basketball asset off the court as he was on it
BY FRANK TANKARD
fankand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Editor's Note: Kansan sportswriter Frank Tankard will profile a former Kansas men's basketball player each day this week, leading up to the Jayhawks' first game on Friday. Each player featured took the court for the Jayhawks sometime during the last four years. This is the first of the five-part series. Tomorrow, Tankard will profile former forward Bryant Nash.
Brett Ballard still talks about the time his father took him to see Kansas play Kentucky 15 years ago. Some memories don't fade.
He recalls looking up at his dad and not being able to speak over the screaming fans and the band seated just below. He remembers gazing across the cavernous stadium; staring slack-jawed at Terry Brown
drilling seven three point shots while leading the Jayhawks to a record 150 points as brown-haired, second-year coach Roy Williams stalked the sideline. To a nine-year-old kid from Hutchinson, it seemed unreal.
On that night, the Brett Ballard that Kansas coach Bill Self knows was born. He became the pesky little guy who refused to give up and the guy who showed up to the office before the coaches and who left after most of them. This was the guy who walked into Self's office in 2003 as a former walk-on — days after Self was hired — and asked for a job as an assistant.
Years later, Ballard would play on that court as a walk-on guard. When people ask him to name the loudest game he's been to, he tells them it was Dec. 9, 1989.
Ballard may be one of the most loyal, bull-headed, dedicated men in Kansas basketball.
***
Brett Ballard unlocked the door to the Kansas basketball office. It was 8:30 a.m., the morning after a long Senior Night, and he was the first one there, as usual. This is a busy time of year for Ballard. It is filled with editing hours of tape on possible NCAA Tournament opponents.
Ballard, a little groggy, grabbed a drink from the fridge and sat down on the black leather couch in a posh room of the office. He rubbed his eyes and remembered the community college coach who helped him get his chance at Kansas.
Eric Duff coached Ballard at Cowley County Community College in Arkansas City, and then at Hutchinson Community College. He knew Ballard was dedicated and a good point guard — he played more than 35 minutes a game at Hutchinson.
He also knew Ballard was a
Kansas basketball dreamer and always had been. So when Kansas assistant coach Joe Holladay came to games to scout Hutchinson standout Chris Zerbe, Draft told him to keep an eye on Ballard. It didn't help much though — Ballard had two of his worst games of the season.
Hollady didn't see much in Ballard, but Duft told him to give Ballard an opportunity for a walk-on spot. He figured that was all Ballard would need.
"I told him he was a great-conditioned kid, that he's more athletic than he looks, and that he really works." Duft said. "From there, it was all Brett."
Not too tall, not too strong, not well-known by Kansas coaches, Ballard had to impress Williams with his work ethic when he transferred in the fall of 2000.

Kansas makes improvements on last day of tournament
The Kansas women's golf team finished 16th out of 17 teams at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational this weekend. The Jayhawks shot a total of 978, which was good enough to finish higher than only Texas Tech. Even though the team struggled during the first two days, it improved dramatically in on the third day. The Jayhawks shot a total of 319, a score which was 10.5 strokes better than their average the first two days.
"We made the improvements we needed to make, said Kansas coach Erin O'Neil, and it's a matter of getting our confidence up."
Amanda Costner led the Jayhawks, shooting a team-best 241 and finishing tied for 42nd individually. Chelsey Pryor had the best round of the tournament for Kansas, shooting 77 on the third day. She finished tied for 56th with a three-day score of 244. Duke won the tournament with a score of 914 and finished only one stroke better than Oklahoma State.
Before competing in the next tournament, Kansas has less than a week to prepare.
"Next week the course sets up better for us," O'Neil said. "With such a short turnaround, we'll have to make quick fixes, but I see improvement from day to day."

Jayhawks blow out Cardinals, Bears in weekend games
There's no place like home. The Kansas softball team is perfect when playing at Arrocha Ballpark. The Jayhawks won all four games this weekend in the Holiday Inn/Jayhawk Classic, beating Louisville and Southwest Missouri State twice each. On Friday, the Jayhawks were dominant at the plate. Kansas collected 24 hits during their victories against Louisville, with 12-2 in 2 innings, and Southwest Missouri State, winning 7-1. Against the Cardinals, the Jayhawks swatted a season-high 14 hits, including four home runs.
Serena Settlemier, junior pitcher, went five innings, giving up two runs and striking out five. Against the Bears, the Jayhawks got help from freshmen Elle Pottorf and Christina Ross, catcher and pitcher. Pottorf launched the Jayhawts to victory after a grand slam in the bottom of the third inning, giving the Jayhawks a 6-1 lead. Ross chipped in with a well pitched ball game striking out eight in seven innings. On Saturday, Kansas beat Louisville 4-2 and Southwest Missouri State 6-5 at home. Against the Cardinals, Kassie Humphreys, sophomore pitcher, led the team offensively with two hits and two RBI, while Settlemier and Ross carried the team on the mound. In the afternoon game against the Bears, the Jayhawks were running. They stole a season-high five bases while beating the Bears in eight innings.
The Jayhawks were scheduled to take on the Cardinals for a final time yesterday; however, the game was canceled because of cold weather

KANANS SPORTSWRIVER
Losing to Oklahoma State on Saturday may have hurt Kansas' seed in the NCAA Tournament, but the loss was not crippling.
Some players said it could even turn out to be a positive.
"It can come back to help us." sophomore guard J.R. Giddens said. "We're all hungry and we're all still confident. I'd rather have won, but an extra day of rest can help a lot."
By falling in the third round of the Big 12 Tournament, the Jayhawks got an extra day to prepare for the NCAA Tournament, and never had to worry about wearing itself out against Texas Tech in the Big 12 Tournament Championship Game.
Since the Jayhawks lost on Saturday, they instead spent yesterday recuperating from its two games in the Big 12 Tournament and watched the selection show at Memorial Stadium.
Had Kansas been victorious on Saturday, the Jayhawks would have spent yesterday playing in a revenge game against Texas Tech, which defeated Kansas in double overtime earlier this year.
Win or lose, the team then would have watched the selection show at Kemper Arena and spent the rest of the day traveling back to Lawrence.
The NCAA Selection Committee gave the Jayhawks a No. 3 seed in the Syracuse region, and junior forward Christian Moody said that getting some extra rest will help Kansas prepare for Bucknell, its first round opponent.
"It can definitely be an advantage," Moody said. "You come back hungrier and well rested. Just look at
"We're all hungry and we're all still confident.I'd rather have won,but an extra day of rest can help a lot."
some of the teams in the past that have come back and played well in the NCAA Tournament after losing in a conference tournament."
Those two teams advanced to the NCAA Championship Game and Elite Eight, respectively.
Kansas has experience rebounding from this situation, because Kansas has lost in the semifinal round of the Big 12 Tournament each of the past two years.
J. R. Giddens Sophomore guard
The extra day of rest especially helped senior forward Wayne Simien, who played 75 of 80 possible minutes in the Big 12 Tournament.
Self said the only reason losing could come back to hurt the Jayhawks was because senior forward Keith Langford did not get an opportunity to play in a game situation after recovering from his ankle injury.
"We rode Wayne pretty hard these last two days," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I don't know that he would have been able to bounce back for a third."
Had Kansas played in the championship game of the Big 12 Tournament, Langford would have started.

BIG 12 MEN'S BASKETBALI
Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton waves the net as he celebrates the Cowboys 72-68 victory against Texas Tech. The Cowboys won the Big 12 Tournament Championship yesterday in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The alltournament ballots were already in when John Lucas started his late run. Otherwise, the most valuable player on the floor might also have been the Big 12 Tournament MVP.
Lucas scored six of his 19 points in the final 1:33, including a crucial free throw with 4.4 seconds left, and No. 10 Oklahoma State earned its second straight Big 12 tournament championship with a 72-68 victory over Texas Tech yesterday.
The Cowboys, seeded second in the Chicago Regional of the NCAA tournament, will play 15th-seeded Southeast Louisiana on Friday in Oklahoma City.
"Coach (Eddie Sutton) told us, 'Don't get frustrated. Just keep playing, and your shots will fall,'" Lucas said. "And they did when it counted."
Joey Graham, voted the MVP, added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the third-seeded Cowboys (24-6), who overcame 20 turnovers — seven by Graham — to win the last Big 12 Tournament game in Kemper Arena.
"I've never had seven turnovers in my life," Graham said with a wry chuckle and a sidelong look at
Sutton, who had just entered the interview room. "It was a learning experience for me, and I definitely won't make that mistake again."
"Good," Sutton responded as he sat down.
Ronald Ross, who had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Texas Tech, airballed a three-point attempt with time winding down and the fourth-seeded Red Raiders (20-10) trailing
71-68. Lucas caught the ball under the basket, was fouled and hit the second of his two free throw attempts to put the game out of reach.
Jarrius Jackson also had 22 points for Texas Tech, which won the last Southwest Conference tournament in 1996 but was making its first appearance in a Big 12 final. The Red Raiders are seeded sixth in the
Albuquerque regional and will play 11th-seeded UCLA on Saturday in Tucson. Ariz.
The Red Raiders also had problems with turnovers yesterday. After committing just eight on Saturday's 69-63 semifinal victory over No.17 Oklahoma, they had 19 — 4 in the first half — against the Cowboys.
Oklahoma State took its biggest lead, 49-37, on Lucas' three point shot with 17 minutes left. But Martin Zeno scored 11 points and Ross had nine in Texas Tech's 22-4 run that put the Red Raiders up 59-53 on Devonne Giles' basket with 5:20 to go.
"I think we were moving a little too quick," Jackson said. "They turned our mistakes into transition offense. We were impatient."
Jackson hit a three point shot with 1:16 to go, getting the Red Raiders within 69-68, and Lucas answered with a layup that put Oklahoma State up 69-66 with just under 40 seconds remaining.
The Cowboys came back and went up 64-63 on Graham's three-point play with 2:07 to go. Daniel Bobik then drew a charging call on Giles, and Lucas hit a three point shot that gave the Cowboys a 67-63 lead with 1:33 left.
Zeno finished with 14 points for Texas Tech.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
ILLINOIS 5
Illinois' Deron Williams directs his teammates in the second half against Wisconsin during the championship game of the Big Ten tournament yesterday. Illinois was given the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and will begin play Thursday against Fairleigh Dickinson in Indianapolis
Chicago bracket dangerous
Editor's note: Kansan sportswriter Kellis Robinett will examine the four regions in the NCAA Tournament before play starts Thursday. The following is a breakdown of the Chicago regional. Tomorrow, Robinett will dissect the first round games in the Albiquerque region.
No. 1 Illinois (32-1) vs.
No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson (20-12)
A No. 1 seed has never lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and Illinois should have no problem keeping that streak alive, Fairleigh Dickinson won the Northeast Conference Tournament to get into the field, but its best nonconference victory was against New Orleans. No.8 Texas (20-10) vs.
No. 9 Nevada (24-6)
Both of these teams are capable of knocking off Illinois in the second round. Nevada has been the class of the Western Athletic Conference all season and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen last year. Texas has made tournament runs for the past three years and has the talent of a top seed. Sure, Texas
KANSAN
BRACKET BREAKDOWN
underachieved all year, but any team that can sweep Oklahoma State is dangerous.
No. 5 Alabama (24-7) vs.
Junior forward Kennedy Winston, who scores 18 points a game, will lead the Crimson Tide against Wisconsin-Milwaukee, who stormed through the Horizon League with a 14-2 record. The Panthers have two solid scorers — senior guard Ed McCants and junior forward Joah Tucker — who both average more than 15 points a game. No. 4 Boston College (24-4) vs. No. 13 Pennsylvania (20-8).
No. 12 Wisconsin-Milwaukee (24-5)
Alabama will try to dupli
the success it had in last year's
tournament when it upset
Stanford in the second round.
It's hard to believe those four losses only earned Boston College a four seed, but that's what the committee decided. The Eagles will try to prove they are underrated against the most rested team in the tournament.
Pennsylvania didn't have to
play in a postseason conference tournament because the Ivy League gives its automatic bid to its regular season champion.
No. 2 Oklahoma State (24-6) vs.
No. 15 Southeast Louisiana (24-8)
Southeastern Louisiana will be the first test for senior forward Joey Graham and senior guard Joey Lucas as they try to lead Oklahoma State to a second straight Final Four. The Cowboys seem to be peaking at the right time after winning the Big 12 Tournament, but the Lions will not be a pushover. Finishing with 24 wins, Southeast Louisiana had its best season in school history.
Neither of these teams can be called sleepers. Southern Illinois is known for its runs in the tournament and has been ranked for parts of the season. St. Mary's pushed Gonzaga for the West Coast Conference Title.
No. 3 Arizona (27-6) vs.
No. 14 Wash State (24-2)
No. 7 Southern Illinois (26-7) vs.
No. 10 St. Mary's (25-8)
Salim Stoudamire and senior center Channing Frye. The biggest challenge for the Wildcats, which have made 21 straight tournament appearances, will be to break their reputation for losing in the first round. Utah State will try to keep that trend going after sneaking into the field by defeating Pacific in the Big West Tournament. No.6 LSU (20-9) vs.
No.14 Utah State (24-7)
Arizona flaunts one of the best inside-outside combinations in the country with senior guard
No.11 Alabama-Birmingham (21-10)
UAB received the worst seed of any at-large team in the tournament and was possibly the last team to get in. The Blazers stunned Kentucky on the way to last year's Sweet Sixteen and play a full court press that is difficult to adjust to for a single game. LSU should be up for the challenge though. The Tigers are one of the most underrated teams in the country, and were projected as a bubble team just a week ago. They defeated three ranked teams this year and finished second to Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference.
Syracuse wins title for fourth time
Edited by Laura Francoviglia
BIG EAST CONFERENCE
NEW YORK — Hakim Warrick had 20 points and 13 rebounds and No. 16 Syracuse won the Big East Tournament for the first time since 1992 with a 68-59 victory over West Virginia on Saturday night.
The loss at Madison Square Garden ended a run for West Virginia (21-10), the first No. 8 seed to ever reach the championship game. No team had ever won four games to take the title and the Mountaineers fell one game short in winning their first conference championship since winning the Atlantic 10 in 1984.
The third-seeded Orange (27-6) won their fourth Big East tournament title in their 12th championship game appearance.
Gerry McNamara added 16 points for the Orange-Tyron Sally had 13 points for the Mountaineers.
CHICAGO — Deron Williams said it all as he dribbled out the clock, holding his finger high in the air to signify what the polls have said most of the season — Illinois is indeed No. 1.

BIG TEN CONFERENCE
Illinois lives up to hype, No.1 ranking
The top-ranked Illini dominated defensively to beat No. 23 Wisconsin 54-43 in the Big Ten Tournament finals for their school-record 32nd win.
Illinois (32-1) passed its final test before the NCAA Tournament, after an emotional weekend, two days after head coach Bruce Weber's mother died. In front of a loud orange-clad following on its favorite home-away-from-home court at the United Center, the Illini got 15 points and 12 rebounds from Roger Powell and 12 points each from Luther Head and James Augustine, who was voted tournament MVP.
Baylor defeats KSU to win Big 12 title
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Baylor fans used to get more fired up about free pizza than about anything happening on the court.
Then again, the Bears were the worst team in the Big 12 just five years ago. Now, they're ranked No. 6 and headed into the NCAA Tournament as the conference regular-season and tournament champions after beating No. 17 Kansas State 68-55 Saturday night.
"I used to say — this is the God's truth — I'm going to live to see the day that the crowd is into the game as much as when they try to win pizza," Kim Mukley-Robertson said. "And we have lived to see that day."
Kansas State closed the gap to 57-53 with 3:53 to go. But the Wildcats scored only once after that, and Baylor closed out the game with an 11-2 run.

ACC
Blue Devils win behind Redick's 26
WASHINGTON — J.J. Redick scored 26 points, Shelden Williams had 16 points and 13 rebounds, and Duke held off a late charge to squeeze past fifth-seeded Georgia Tech 69-64 in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship.
Duke has won 15 ACC tournaments, tying archival North Carolina for most in league history. But while the Tar Heels haven't added to their ledger since 1998, the Blue Devils have won six of seven — the lone exception being last year, when they fell in overtime to Maryland in the title game.
Duke (25-5) led by four early in the second half before Redick hit a jumper. It became 52-39 on a layup by Shavik Randolph with 11:15 to go, but the Blue Devils didn't make another basket until Williams tipped in a missed foul shot just before the buzzer.

Big hits score free food for devoted fans
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas baseball fans could put Dqoba out of business.
The jawhaws pounded out at least 10 hits in each of their three games and triggered the free-taco promotion this weekend en route to sweeping North Dakota State. Kansas improved to 16-8 on the season, while North Dakota State fell to 0-10-1.
In Friday's game, the Jayhawks defeated the Bison 10-4. Freshman third baseman Erik Morrison erased an early 3-0 deficit in the bottom of the fifth inning when he doubled to score two runs.
That was followed by senior catcher Sean Richardson's second home run of the season. The two-run blast gave the Jayhawks a 4-3 lead. Junior outfielder A.J. Van Slyke and freshman second baseman Ryne Price added to the cause with home runs of their own, giving junior pitcher Kodiak Quick his fifth victory of the season.
Saturday the Jayhawks found themselves in another early hole.
After three runs in the top of the first inning by the Bison, which were aided by two ballks by KU sophomore Sean Land, the Jayhawks answered with four in the second inning. The first five batters of the inning reached base and scored. Kansas scored two times in the third inning and once in the seventh to win 7-5.
Senior lefty Scott Sharpe took the victory in relief of Land. It was Sharpe's first appearance since his suspension two weeks ago for violating team rules.
Yesterday the Jayhawks scored the first nine runs of the game in support of Quick, who improved his record to 6-1.
Quick was impressive in the 17-2 victory, striking out six batters in five innings. Van Slyke honored to run his team-leading total to five. Freshman Brock Simpson came off the bench to go 3-3 with a home run.
He needed only a single to hit for the cycle, but did not get to
the plate for a fourth time. Kansas finished with a seasonhigh 22 hits in the game.
"I was pleased with the weekend," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "I think we took a big step forward toward taking our game to the next level."
Simpson, and the other freshmen, seem to be settling in to their roles. Infielder Ryne Price continued to swing a hot bat, and Morrison was a solid contributor to the weekend successes along with infielder John Allman.
Coach Price said he was happy with the way the youngsters had improved since the start of the season.
"Ryne's playing big-time, Morrison's playing well and Brock had a breakout game today." Price said. "John Allman's been solid as well, and we're really proud of our freshman class and think it's as good as any in the Big 12."
The Jayhawks will play Wednesday against Baker at Hoglund Ballpark.

In preseason workouts, he ran the hardest, arrived the earliest and staved the latest.
But he wasn't sure Williams took notice. Then, a few days before Late Night, Williams told him he'd made the team.
"He took a chance on a skinny white kid from Kansas," Ballard said. "I guess I had a big heart."
of his dream, he decided to play.
But after three weeks of practicing for his debut against the California All-Stars, Ballard received a blow: he was diagnosed with mononucleosis.
After four agonizing games dressed in street clothes, straddling the sideline within inches
He suited up for the first time against North Dakota at home. He didn't do much except turn the ball over in the 1 minute he played.
As the weeks of practice wore on, Ballard showed the coaches that he could keep up.
He averaged 6.4 minutes and 1.5 points per game that first season, more than even Duft had expected.
"I didn't have any doubts that he could contribute in practice," Duft said. "But I didn't know he'd be as productive in games as he was."
Ballard met his fiancee, Kelly Temple, the next season on the team's trip to Hawaii for the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
Forward Wayne Simien, Ballard's roommate on the trip, still claims that he had a role in the match.
"Wayne gives me a hard time," Ballard said. "He says I owe him for that."
After his last year of eligibility in 2002, Ballard kept busy while he figured out what to do next.
Eventually, Ballard decided to pursue the path he wanted to take all along: coaching college basketball. But just as he was about to try to get a position at Kansas, Roy Williams left for North Carolina and took his staff with him, and left Ballard stranded without any connections.
When he walked into Bill Self's office, just days after the new coach was hired, he noticed dark circles under Self's eyes as he asked him if there were any positions open on his staff.
"I kind of bugged him a little bit," Ballard said. "He had a million things going on."
Ballard pestered him a couple more times and Self told him he could be a student assistant on his staff. In that role, Ballard helped out however he could.
He edited tape and helped plan the Bill Self Basketball Camp.
Self said he was happy with the effort Ballard put in.

After. telling his story for about an hour on the big black couch, it was time for Ballard to get to work in the video room next door.
Assistant coach Tim Jankovich, like Self, is impressed by Ballard's long hours.
"I see him every day from sunup to well past sundown."
he said, "Film work may be as critical as anything we do. It's a very difficult job."
But it's not all work all the time. Every now and then, Ballard scrimmages with the team or plays in a pick-up game with Simien, senior guard Aaron Miles and the rest of the guys he used to play with.
"It's getting tougher to hang with those guys," he said, laughing.
And, of course, he gets a prime seat on the end of the bench at each game. All in all, he's lived the Kansas fan's dream.
"It's a pretty good job," he said.

Tiebreakers decide matches

Freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva strikes a forehand shot Saturday afternoon during a match against Nebraska. Avdeeva lost her Her 1 singles match against Nebraska senior Gitte Ostermann, No. 18 singles player in the nation. 6-0, 6-1 Kansas lost 6-1 the Cornhuskers at Robinson Courts.

Though the young Jayhawk team lost overall this weekend, the close tiebreakers proved that it's gaining experience with every match.
The Nebraska tennis team (13-2 overall, 3-2 Big 12) knocked off Kansas, 6-1, at the Robinson Courts on Saturday. The defeat dropped Kansas to 2-9 for the season.
Nebraska set the tone early by winning all three doubles matches. The Cornhuskers are 13-0 this season when earning the doubles point.
"It's a very emotional point," Nebraska coach Scott Jacobson said. "Our team takes great pride in playing emotional doubles."
In the number one doubles match, Nebraska seniors Gitte Ostermann and Katie Garcia ousted Kansas sophomore Brittany Brown and freshman Lauren Hommell, 8-4. Nebraska freshman Imke Reimers and junior Ewelina Skaza defeated Kansas sophomore Ashley Filberth and junior Christine Skoda, 8-5. Filberth and Skoda have dropped their last two matches together and are now 4-3 on the season.
In the third doubles slot Nebraska freshman Ellinor Zugner and junior Milena Schulz-Gartner defeated Kansas junior Luiza Loureiro and freshman Elizaveta Avdeeva, 8-5.
In singles Ostermann continued her display of flawless play on the court, disposing of Avdeeva in straight sets, 6-0 and 6-1.
"She seemed to get it done in a hurry," Jacobson said. "I was proud in the way in which she competed."
Avdeea, who has faced six ranked opponents this season, was unable to find a rhythm as her emotions ran high throughout the course of the match. Her frustration was apparent through her body language and facial expressions.
"I told her that she has to be patient," Hall-Holt said.
"Playing one in the Big 12 is not an easy job. She's a battler. She will come back."
Skoda registered the lone victory for the Jayhawks, as she rallied to defeat Reimers, 6-2, 3-6, 1-0 (7).
Brown fell to Schulz-Gartner, 0-6. 5-7.
In the number four singles match, Cornhusker Skaza
defeated Hommell in a tough three-set affair, 6-4, 6-7(0), 6-2
Hommell saved four match points in the second set, forcing the set into a tiebreaker. Hommell played near-perfect tennis, sending the match in a third and decisive set.
Junior Pamela Castilejos needed a third set tie breaker to defeat Filberth, 6-2, 6-7(3), 1-0 (3).
Nebraska freshman Ellinor Zugner downed Kansas freshman Stephanie Smith, 6-2, and 6-3.
The layhawks (2-9 overall, 1-2 Big 12) will travel on Friday to Norman, Okla., to take on the Sooners. On Saturday Kansas will face Oklahoma State, in Stillwater.

Three Jayhawks make All-American
In addition to senior Amy Linnen's championship-winning pole vault, two other Jayhawks earned All-American status Saturday at the Track and Field Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark.
Senior runner Jeremy Mims finished seventh in the Indoor Championships, earning points and becoming an All-American.
Mims' time of 1:48.28 fell short of his KU record of 1:47.04, which he broke earlier this year.
Despite the success this weekend, Mims said he was disappointed.
"I planned on winning," Mims said. "There were people that really came out and competed. It's frustrating."
Junior thrower Sheldon Battle competed in two events this weekend.
He threw 69 feet, 1.50 inches in the weight throw and finished ninth overall. His throw of 63 feet, 2.25 inches in the shot put earned him All-American status. He finished seventh in the event.

Despite the KU record, Hann said she did not meet her goal this weekend.
"I didn't do as well as I would have liked to," Hann said.
Senior jumper Brooklyn Hann did not qualify for the All-American team, but capped off her indoor career with a Kansas record. Her effort of 42 feet, 6 inches in the triple jump was the last indoor competition for Hann.

"We're getting better, but we have to continue to get better," Redwine said. "I want to concentrate on the what's in the future."
Linnen credited her teammates for giving her the support she needed.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said the team would rest this week and turn its focus to the outdoor season, which is starting Thursday with the Twilight Meet in Emporia.
"It was great seeing team members who weren't competing come out to cheer me on as faces of the crowd;" Linnen said.
For Linnen and Tom Hays, who coaches vertical jumps and has coached Linnen since her freshman season at Arizona, winning the title evokes a familiar vet strange feeling.
"It's been awesome. Each time feels different," Linnen said. "It's unreal. I don't think it's hit me yet, to realize that I've won two titles."
Linnen added that she couldn't have won without her training partner, Ekaterina Sultanova, either. Sultanova finished 10th at the national championships with the jump of 13 feet. 1.50 inches.

partner. She's disappointed about this weekend, but she's got a great future here," Linnen said.
As for the future, Hays expects Linnen's progress to continue, possibly to Beijing, China, for the 2008 Olympics.
"It's always a possibility." Hays said. "She needs to decide if she wants to be there. She's been to two trials. If she can keep developing, she can do it."
Simien made three crucial baskets in the final 3-and-a-half minutes and kept the Jayhawks within reach.

When J.R. Giddens hit a three-pointer to put Kansas within one, 76-75, with less than a minute left, the Jayhawks had to foul.
Graham made two free throws at the other end, giving Kansas the ball and one last shot with 11 seconds left in the game.
Self called the exact play they had run on the previous possession, when Giddens made the three-pointer.
Miles received the inbound pass, pushed it down the court and handed it off to Lee. Lee dribbed to the middle and looked to Giddens on the left wing. He was supposed to come off a double screen but was guarded heavily.
So Lee looked to the other side and found freshman forward Alex Galindo behind the arc. Galindo had a good look, despite being heavily guarded by Graham.
"It had worked on the last play, but I knew they would play tighter on him," Lee said of the Oklahoma State defense.
The rainbow shot was on line. Galindo said it felt good when he shot it. But it bounced off the rim.

Because the Wildcats rely on the three so much, they will get run out of the gym if they go cold. New Mexico has been playing well of late, as it won its conference tournament, and could be a handful for Villanova.
Another team with a KU connection that could defeat a No. 1 seed in the second round is Pacific.
The Tigers lost just three games all season and held the nation's longest winning streak until they lost in their conference tournament. Pacific held its own against
"We got a great look; we just missed it," he said. "I thought we got exactly what we wanted. If we can get that good a shot knowing that you're going to shoot a three, you gotta be pretty happy."
Self said he was pleased with the play.
Self was surprisingly happy for a coach who just lost a game.
"I thought our guys played great." Self said. "Certainly we are disappointed that we lost, but I thought we played much better."
That was the consensus from the Jayhawk camp at the end of this weekend. After losing five out of their last 10 games, this team appears to be back on track going into the NCAA Tournament.
"I think we did some good things this weekend," senior guard Aaron Miles said. "We made good strides. I think we are getting ready to play the best we've played, at the most important time."
Kansas players wanted to make sure they had a positive attitude after the Big 12 Tournament. Although they received a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament, as opposed to the No. 1 or No. 2 seed they could have earned by winning on Saturday, the Jayhawks said they were ready for the next step; the NCAA Tournament.
Kansas in December as it lost by 11 in Allen Fieldhouse. If the Pacific takes out.
- Edited by Azita Tafreshi
Pittsburgh in the first round, they would face No. 1 seeded Washington, and that would be a winnable game for Pacific.
So who do I like to win it all? Syracuse has been playing some great basketball lately, and coach Jim Boeheim has said that this team is nearly as good as the team that won the national championship in 2003.
There are my predictions.
Take it or leave it.

The journey
The journey to the tourney
March Madness merchandise comes to Lawrence
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Final Four will be in St. Louis, but competition for fans' dollars begins in Lawrence.
NCAA Tournament T-shirts and other merchandise are produced to commemorate each step along the Jayhawks' journey.
"The first day we were open after we won the Final Four, it was like a madhouse," said Mark Trompeter, gift and clothing buyer for the KU Bookstore.
Businesses have to prepare for the rush of fans and buy accordingly. Final Four merchandise isn't usually displayed until after the Jayhawks win their Elite Fight game.
"We buy on 'if and when," Trompeter said. If the Jayhawks make it past the Elite Eight, the store will have shirts on order, he said. But if they don't make it that far, shirts won't be ordered, he said.
Stores buy on a contingency basis, meaning that they place an order for shirts only if the KU men's basketball team makes it to the Final Four.
“
want to get a Final Four
shirt because it's the Big Dance. I can find money for that."
Jared Johanning
Lawrence freshman
Big 12 Conference championship shirts are bought with the same plan in mind, but in smaller amounts.
Few people buy Big 12 shirts, but many buy Final Four shirts. The Sports Dome, 924 Massachusetts St., had to mark down its Big 12 shirts from $18 to $12.50, owner Brian Hoffman said.
"We only bought about two dozen Big 12 championship shirts, and only sold a few," Hoffman said. "Buyers look at it as 'Who really cares about the Big 12?'"
Some students said it was too expensive to buy shirts for the Big 12 championship and each
round of the tournament.
"I don't want to waste my money on a Big 12 shirt," Lisa Kauffman, Weston, Mo., freshman, said. "We don't make it to the Final Four every year."
Jared Johanning, Lawrence freshman, said he would wait to see how far the Jayhawks went in the tournament before he would buy a shirt.
"I want to get a Final Four shirt because it's the Big Dance," he said. "I can find money for that."
Procrastination purchases such as Johanning's make it hard on stores to estimate orders.
"We don't sell a lot of Big 12 or Sweet 16 shirts," said Toni Retonde, store manager for Jayhawk Bookstore. "It's funny because, often, we see people buy backwards."
People will often wait, and if the University makes it to the Final Four, people will buy the shirts they have neglected to that point. Retonde said. Customers will buy a Big 12 championship shirt, a Sweet 16 and a Elite Eight shirt once the team has made it to the Final Four, she said.

CRIME
Mangino dismisses Randle from team
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
STAFF WRITE
Kansas coach Mark Mangino dismissed sophomore running back John Randle from the Kansas football team after he was charged with one count of battery yesterday.
Randle pleaded not guilty at
Douglas County District Court.
PETER
A $1,000 bond was set and, as of yesterday afternoon, he had not been released from the Douglas County Jail.
"We will continue to support and help John in any way we possibly can," Mangino said. "We have encouraged him to continue his education at KU. If he decides to do so, we will honor his scholarship."
Randle
Randle was arrested last year for attempted theft, disorderly conduct and use of a fake drivers license and was suspended for the first half of the team's season-opening game against Tulsa. Randle served two days in jail for that incident and was on probation when the current incident occurred.
The prosecution suggested that bond prohibit Randle from consuming alcohol entirely, but the judge could not grant that request.
As conditions of the bond, Randle can't contact anone listed as a witness on the police report.
Lawrence police arrested Randle early Sunday morning outside of It's Brothers Bar and Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St. RANDLE has been banned from the bar as a condition of his bond.
Between 1:51 a.m. and 1:55 a.m. a 21-year-old man and Randle were involved in an argument inside the bar, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
The argument continued outside after the bar closed. A police officer witnessed Randle punch the other man, Ward said.
The officer approached the scene, attended to the man and arrested the suspect without incident, according to a police report.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical treated the man at the scene and transported him to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Ward said. The man had injuries on his nose and cheek.
The nature of the argument was unknown, Ward said. Alcohol was listed as a contributing factor on the police report.
Randle was arrested in November 2003 on charges of domestic battery and criminal damage. The District Attorney's Office didn't file charges

Phi Kappa Theta fraternity appealed to the Interfraternity Council's executive board yesterday on grounds that its expulsion from the University was too severe.
The judicial board of the IFC expelled Phi Kappa Theta March 7 after finding that the fraternity had an unregistered party at its house, 1111 W. 11th St. The IFC filed 24 charges against the fraternity for recruitment and alcohol policy violations, and the Lawrence Police Department cited nine members of the fraternity for allegedly operating an "open saloon,"
selling alcohol without a license and selling alcohol to minors.
Matt Moreno, Wichita sophomore and Phi Kappa Theta president, drafted two of what he described as proactive outlines that detailed short-term and long-term goals of the fraternity. He said he would present the second outline to the IFC at the hearing.
The fraternity participated in a cleanup of North Park, South Park and Morning Star Church last weekend as part of its short-term goals. The 35 members of Phi Kappa Theta also listened to a guest speaker discuss the risks and dangers of alcohol Thursday.

Excavated fossils at the Natural History Museum are safe from being buried again in storage.
The exhibit, which opens tomorrow, is a partnership between Science City in Union Station in Kansas City, Mo., and the University of Kansas Natural History Museum in Dyche Hall, located just south of the Kansas Union.
Matt Christopher, Olathe graduate student in paleontology, and his assistants will work to prepare and cast fossils at Dino Lab at Science City as visitors watch.
Visitors will be able to communicate with Christopher through a special

"Hopefully it will keep them from knocking on the glass," he said.
Christopher recommended the interactive fossil preparation exhibit before he left Science City a year ago to complete his master's at the University of Kansas.
STATE
Christopher, who is a staff paleontologist, has worked off and on at Science City since its opening in 1999.
Dino Lab will be the largest fossil preparation lab of its kind in the country, said Larry Martin, senior curator of the Natural History Museum.
The distraction doesn't concern Christopher too much.

FORT SCOTT—Gov. Kathleen Sebellius surveyed Fort Scott's historic downtown area yesterday, studying the damage caused by a roaring, wind-whipped fire.

Rav Bachehiseen/THE AASOCIATED PRESS
The blaze that started Friday afternoon destroyed nine buildings, and Fort Scott Mayor Gary Billions said two or three others located near those buildings may also have suffered damage.
Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, second from left, tours the scene yesterday of a fire in historic downtown Fort Scott on Friday. The blaze destroyed nine buildings, and Fort Scott Mayor Gary Billionis said two or three others located near those buildings may also have suffered damage. Sebelius said the state was looking at ways it could help in the cleanup and rebuilding.
"This is a historic area," Sebelius said after returning to Topeka. "The oldest building is about 142 years old. It's a real piece of Kansas history lost in this fire. But hopefully we can help them rebuild."
Sebelius was joined by state Sen Jim Barone (D-Frontenac) and two state representatives along with the state fire marshal. After Sebelius flew over the area in a helicopter with the mayor, the contingent walked through the still smoldering downtown with city officials and federal fire investigators.
Sebelius said the group wanted to help connect the community with different state and federal funding sources. Damage is estimated at $10 million.
In some cases, the floors of the two and three-story buildings collapsed,
"We are interested in maintaining the historical integrity of the area," Billionis said. "Whatever is rebuilt, we are going to make sure it maintains that integrity. We can't reconstruct an 1863 building, but we can put a building in here that at least looks like it belongs."
leaving just the exterior shells of the 100- to 140-year-old structures.
Before the city can clear the rubble and begin rebuilding, a response team from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives must finish its investigation. The group has conducted interviews, but it must wait for a structural engineer from Wichita to evaluate the buildings in the fire-damaged block before entering them.
New exercise guide questioned
HEALTH
BY LIBBY QUAID
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Sixty to 90 minutes of exercise every day. That's what the government now suggests.
Even people working out at the gym say most folks won't consider that, and the experts behind the government's recommendation say 30 minutes a day is enough for most
Paul Steinkoenig, 45, of Arlington, Va., now works out about 90 minutes a day three days a week. Sixty or 90 minutes every day "sounds higher than certainly what the average American is going to consider," he said.
"I think 60 minutes would be a little much for me," added Joseph Allwein, 84. Allwein said he biked, rowed or walked for 30 minutes five days a week.
The panel of doctors and scientists that developed the recommendations put an emphasis on getting 30 minutes of exercise. Its 25 pages of recommendations were scaled down to three when they were released as part of the government's new dietary guidelines in January. Those guidelines gave equal billing to the 60- and 90-minute suggestions.
"There's an enormous need to clarify that," said Russell Pate, a panel member and professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina school of public health. "I have no doubt that if we all met that 30-minute guideline, we'd have a lot fewer of us that have weight problems."
Out of shape America
The guidelines are being used to update the government's food pyramid, which is due out this spring. This is what they say about exercise:

- People need 30 minutes of physical activity on most days to ward off chronic disease.
To prevent unhealthy weight gain, people should spend 60 minutes on physical activity on most days.
Previously overweight people who have lost weight may need 60 to 90 minutes of exercise to keep the weight off.
Weight is an issue throughout the guidelines, which tell people how to eat to be healthy. The guidelines advise eating fewer calories, more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. People should also drink more lowfat milk, eat less fat and salt and get more exercise.
The number of overweight and obese Americans is growing at an alarming rate, the panel said.
"Because we have 60 percent of Americans overweight and 30 percent
obese, we have a lot of people trying to lose weight and keep it off, and we know how difficult it is to lose weight and keep it off," said Dr. Xavier Pi-Sunyer, a panel member and director of obesity research at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York.
About two-thirds of Americans each year try to start regular exercise programs, according to a 2004 Associated Press-Ipsos poll. That contrasts with how many stay with it. Nearly 40 percent of adults said they didn't do physical activity during leisure time in 2002 data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
People trying to fit the new exercise advice into their day don't have to start all at once. It's fine to break your activity into bouts of 10 or 15 minutes. The idea is still to do at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity.
And it doesn't have to be walking. The panel gave several examples of moderate exercise: Hiking, light gardening or yard work, dancing, golf, bicycling, a light workout of weight lifting. Stretching also counts.
More vigorous activity is even better, the committee said. That could include running or jogging at 5 miles an hour, walking at 4.5 miles an hour, bicycling at 10 miles an hour, swimming, aerobics, heavy yard work such as chopping wood, more vigorous weight lifting or playing basketball.
"The idea here is small steps," said Eric Hentges, director of the Agriculture Department's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, which helped write the guidelines. "Get the 30 minutes first, because independent of any of the other aspects, the 30 minutes alone will have benefits."
CONGRESS
GOP's bills favorably received
BY DAVID ESPO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — At first glance, abortion and bankruptcy might not seem to have much in common. Except in Congress, where partisan divisions on one have long held up legislation affecting the other.
That's soon to end, as Republicans begin converting last fall's election gains into this year's bills for President Bush to sign. In all, the GOP gained four seats last November and now holds 55.
So far, the new Congress has sent Bush only one substantive measure, a bill designed to curtail multimillion-dollar class action lawsuits. The bankruptcy bill, eight years in the making, is expected to follow next month.
Democrats contend both bills are the result of partisan compromise over several years.
Democrats agree that far more contentious and unpredictable battles lie
"Working for a budget that lives by America's morals instead of mocking them won't be easy. The Washington Republicans will fight us every step of the way." Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said yesterday as the GOP tax and spending plan reached the Senate floor.
just ahead, over tax cuts, judicial appointments and Social Security.
Conservative Republicans in the House no longer view the Senate as the chamber where their favorite bills go to die.
"The amount of legislation that's passing is pretty big," said U.S. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla. "I think we'll get an energy bill, a highway bill and maybe" legislation to resolve asbestos claims.
The Senate put its new conservative face on display last week on several issues.

The add-ons included an option for employees to work up to 80 hours over two weeks, including more than 40 in either one, without qualifying for overtime pay; a provision restricting the ability of states to raise the minimum wage for restaurant employees, and a waiver of age and overtime rules for workers in some small businesses now covered.

According to the plans, regardless of whether its appeal is granted, the chapter will now become a dry house. The chapter will draft its own alcohol policy and include mandatory penalties for violations, such as long-term suspension of members. The alcohol policy will be based on the University's joint alcohol policy, Moreno said.
"This is just one big step to show the IFC that we're doing something to rectify the problem," Moreno said.
The chapter will continue to be active in the community, he said.
Moreno said the chapter is in the process of turning in diversion applications to Lawrence Municipal Court. He said the nine members who got cited for operating an "open saloon" would offer to perform community service as an alternative to the $100 to $200 fines issued by the city.
"The whole feeling of the house is
obviously that this appeal goes through." Moreno said. "We understand the seriousness of the issue and are in no way trying to make light of our actions."
Scott Shorten, IFC president, said the eight members of the IFC executive board had five school days to conduct a hearing for the appeal.
If the IFC chose the fifth day to conduct the hearing, it would be the Monday after spring break, the next school day after Friday. Shorten said he hoped to have the hearing this week if Phi Kappa Theta members could be present.
Phi Kappa Theta could appeal for a second and final time after the next hearing. The general assembly of the IFC, which comprises the president and one representative of each chapter fraternity, would conduct the final hearing if one is held.
The appeal was due yesterday at 5 p.m.

BROOKFIELD, Wis. — It was just another weekend service for churchgoers in this Milwaukee suburb when, without warning, they began to be gunned down by one of their own.
Police said Terry Ratzmann, a buttoned-down churchgoer, shot 22 bullets from a 9 mm handgun within a minute.

Ratzmann regularly attended the church's gatherings at the Sheraton hotel.
"He said 'Yeah, I think we better,' and he went 'uh... Maybe that when he was shot."

California judge lifts ban
SAN FRANCISCO — A judge ruled yesterday that California's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional — a legal milestone that, if upheld on appeal, would open the way for the most populous state to follow Massachusetts in allowing same-sex couples to wed.
Judge Richard Kramer of San Francisco County's trial-level Superior Court likened the ban to laws requiring racial segregation in schools, and said there appears to be "no rational purpose" for denying marriage to gay couples.
A crowd gathered for a candlelight vigil Sunday night at a makeshift memorial of flowers, crosses and stuffed animals in front of the hotel.
The ruling came in response to lawsuits filed by the city of San Francisco and a dozen gay couples a year ago after the California Supreme Court halted a four-week series of same-sex marriages started by Mayor Gavin Newsm.

Last winter, nearly 4,000 gay couples got married after Newsom instructed the city to issue them licenses, in defiance of state law. The California Supreme Court later declared those marriages void, saying the mayor overstepped his authority. But the court did not address the underlying issue of whether the law against gay marriage violated the California Constitution.

Gay marriage supporters hailed the ruling as a historic development akin to the 1948 state Supreme Court decision that made California the first state to legalize interracial marriage.
At issue were a 1977 law that defined marriage as "a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman," and a voter-approved measure in 2000 that amended the law to say more explicitly: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
"Today's ruling is an important step toward a more fair and just California that rejects discrimination and affirms family values for all California families." San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said.
"For a single judge to rule there is no conceivable purpose for preserving marriage as one man and one woman is mindboggling," said Liberty Counsel President Mathew Staver. "This decision will be gasoline on the

Shooting exposes security failures
Authorities are investigating how the security breakdown happened on that bloody Friday morning, and they are vowing changes will be made. The issue is getting national attention as well, with Sen. Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying he would hold congressional hearings on improving security at courthouses and for judges.
Authorities say Brian Nichols overpowered deputy Cynthia Hall, took her gun, and easily gained access to the courtroom, where he went on to kill the judge and a court reporter. Security cameras captured images of him overpowering the deputy, but no one, it turned out, was watching the screens.

In the last six months, investigations by the Kansas City Cybercrimes Task Force — one of 19 in the United States — resulted in 22 indictments, 20 arrests and 11 convictions for sex crimes against children, Kansas attorney general Phill Kline said. The prosecutions were under tough federal laws.
There were more security gaffes. Earlier in the week, Nichols was found to have had two homemade knives in his shoes while in court. And the vehicle reported to be his getaway car was found more than 13 hours after the shootings — in the same parking garage where it was allegedly carjacked

Effects of literature on kids overblown by deflated adults
I am a newcomer to this community. I want to be a part of it and make it better for everyone.
BETSY MCLEOD
bmcleod@kansan.com
What do the books, "James and the Giant Peach," the Harry Potter books and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" have in common? They are all ingredients in the cake that make up everything that is wrong with our society.
we must protect our children from the evils that influence them when they read. Protect them from the sexual content, racism, offensive language and violence. If we keep these abinations on the shelves children everywhere will be running away in giant peaches in the company of life-sized insects.
Mark Twain, who does he think he is, putting the "N" word in a book that takes place in 1845? It's an abomination. Giant peaches. Life-size insects. Broomsticks and wands. It will be pandemonium. For the good of the future generations, all books that portray sex, violence, offensive language, racism or homosexuality should be banned
— or better yet burned. Head for the hills, the books are here to search and destroy.
The challenging of books in schools and public libraries is no new battle in the United States. Between 1990 and 2000 there were 6,364 challenged books reported to or recorded by the Office for Intellectual Freedom. The group that puts forth these complaints is mostly of parents that fear a certain book's effect on their child.
According to the American Libraries Association, 2004 was the first in five years that J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter", which has been cited for its support for Satanism and the occult, was not the No. 1 most challenged book. It was replaced by Robert Cormier's, "The Chocolate War." Out of the 10 books on the ALA's 10 most challenged books of 2004, four were cited for homosexual themes, eight for offensive language and three for sexual content.
The Blue Valley School District in Johnson County is currently being harmed by parents
upset with some of the books on the required reading list. About 500 parents proposed the removal of 14 books from the school, including "Song of Solomon", by Toni Morrison, because of allegedly unacceptable language, sexual explicitness or violent imagery, according to the Web site
ClassKC.org. The Web site gives nine reasons why the books should be banned, the best one being
"While textual descriptions of heterosexual sex, oral sex, homosexual sex, anal sex, rape and incest are not generally classified as pornography, it's undeniable that descriptions of sexually explicit scenes helps develop an appetite for more of the same. Unfortunately, that appetite easily and logically leads to pornography and sexual experimentation."
Logically, if children read about sex they will automatically spread their legs for any Joe or Jane that walks by, just like if they read the Bible they will be inclined to wander the desert for 40 days. It all makes perfect sense. But if children can't read controversial books, how can they understand and form opinions about the controversies themselves?
Parents might argue that it's OK if kids want to read these books outside of school, but they shouldn't be forced to read them in an academic environment. Logical as well, because everybody knows teenagers' favorite recreational activity is to read and analyze a nice challenging book, always taking time to consider the different arguments and questions that are introduced.
Whoever thought that our parents, the ones that begged us to read when we were little, would be putting up such a fight to keep us illiterate? Next week in the Anal-Retentive Parents News: "Everybody Poops." A book of shameless lies

Violence in video games lessens sensitivity to value of humanity
Sometimes video games mimic reality too much to be entertaining. This weekend, we were reminded how thin a line we tread between life and imitation when a convicted felon decided to turn his rage on the very executors of justice in the trial that might have locked him up for good.
SAM HOPKINS
shopkins@kansan.com
Pistol-whipping, car jacking and shooting people in the face — the news reports streamed in especially fast because the events transpired in Atlanta, where CNN has its headquarters. In the end, four civil servants were dead, and the whole country was aghast at the senselessness of the crimes committed. I couldn't help but think about video games.
In "Grand Theft Auto," so called because you commit crime repeatedly to win the game, cars are hijacked at gunpoint and prostitutes and policemen are gunned down like dogs or beaten with baseball bats. These things happen in the world.
I used to swing play swords and shoot Super Soakers, replicating violence by means of Nerf foam or water. I also played the "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" arcade game, putting many 16-bit robots to a rusty death. These were not pedestrians or drivers, though, and you would lose points for killing civilians. This is a major distinction between the games of the past and many of today.
Violent games are the root of society's ills. But they do reflect a certain measure of our problems. In that respect we have to draw the line of what we consider fun, and decide whether our hobby is perpetuating a degenerate mindset in which violence and harm are thought of separately.
When we receive positive reinforcement for killing on screen, we start down a slippery slope. College kids are not likely to go on a rampage because we have a sense of something to lose and, hopefully, of humanity.
Brian Nichols, still presumed innocent of this weekend's spree, apparently had nothing to lose. I don't know if he ever played violent video games, but surely some journalist will dig up such details in an in-depth report. Clearly, human life lost significance to the killer.
Let's return for a moment to the slippery slope mentioned above. The film "Fahrenheit 9/11" — whether you agree with its political points — conveyed the morally tenuous position in which soldiers are placed each day. The soldiers interviewed in the film — soldiers our age — explained that thinking of battle as a video game made the horror easier to bear. But, they added, the illusion only works for so long before the reality soaks in.
We play games to take a break from life, and to release pent-up energy. Shooting games stem from the familiarity of warfare and its images. I have faith in most people's ability to distinguish between carnage and computer-generated fun, but sometimes life blurs those lines for us. It is up to individuals to sort out the strands and pick the least destructive path.

Orwell's 1984 theme finds friend in attorney general
"Kansas, as bigoted as you think." There is no doubt that this satiric bumper sticker is a massive misrepresentation of Kansas as a whole. Nevertheless, we have at work some dedicated local extremists flooding the media with enough shocking ideological maneuvers to allow Kansas to remain in the limelight.
And there are so many people to thank for bringing fame to Kansas. We must acknowledge Fred Phelps for his unremitting homophobic crusade, the former Sen. Kay O'Connor (R-Kansas) for her vocal opposition of women's voting rights, and we must not forget to express our gratitude to the 1999 Kansas school board for banning that sinful evolutionary "theory" from our curriculum.
These radicals do not represent the majority of people residing in our humble state. It is time to restore the state's tarnished image before being a "Kansan" becomes synonymous with being a "zealous reactionary."

If given that Kline's true purpose in taking these drastic measures is to prosecute sexual predators, why is he stopping with only those women who had abortions? What about all the other women who have been sexually violated? Wouldn't the logic follow that he should obtain their medical records, too? And while he is at it, why not examine the medical sexual history of males, too? Is it possible that maybe, just maybe he has ulterer motives for this 21st century inquisition?
potential of harm much more than our reputation. This avid anti-abortionist has been attempting to subpoena abortion clinics for the comprehensive medical records of 90 women and girls who received late-term abortions for his stated purpose of investigating criminal cases. Although he loudly proclaims the need of prosecuting sexual abuse, he seems more driven to ensure that underage sexual activity is reported and abortion laws are upheld.
Phill Kline's anti-abortion crusade, which received national attention, is another example of extremeists embarassing us as students and residents of Kansas.
Kline is rallying his ultra-conservative base by psychologically attacking a woman's legal right to have an abortion while simultaneously disregarding the Fourth Amendment of the
The Kansas City Star reported Feb. 25 that Kline said at a news conference, "I have the duty to investigate and prosecute child rape and other crimes in order to protect Kansas children."
The clinics refused to turn over the unedited patients' files and have requested that the Kansas Supreme Court intervene in order to protect doctor-patient confidentiality. These files contain the patient's name, medical history and "details of her sex life, birth control practices and psychological profile," as described on cnn.com. The clinics were willing to give edited versions with some of the personal information left out such as the patient's name, but that was insufficient for Kline.
Constitution that protects "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" unless there is probable cause.
There is no reasonable ground for supposing that his plan would even succeed in accomplishing his declared goals. Kline should by all means punish sex crimes, but these tactics explicitly target and disgrace women who
have had abortions. Whether to have an abortion is one of the most private and agonizing decisions a woman could make, and nothing could be worse for those women than to have their decision made public.
It would set a perilous precedent to allow the state to access a person's most private information. The thought of Big Brother examining confidential medical records with such details as a patient's number of sexual partners is too hauntingly Orwellian for Kansans to accept.
Although Kansas can normally repel the success of these aforementioned fanatics, every now and again, they have a victory. If you forgot, just last year Kline was successful in deciding what music Kansans should be allowed to listen to by restricting thousands of CDs from our libraries.
But what can we do to stop this? Get busy. Write to Kline about what you think of these intrusive measures.

Prosecutors 'infer' murder evidence
LAWRENCE — A Kansas State University professor, worried about losing his daughter in a child-custody dispute, conducted Internet searches on how to commit murder before brutally attacking his ex-wife, prosecutors said yesterday in their closing arguments.
But defense attorney Bob Eye countered that the evidence against the professor, Thomas E Murray, was based on "inferences piled upon inferences."
A Douglas County District Court jury started deliberating yesterday and are to resume their work today.
Murray, 48, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Carmin D. Ross, who prosecutors say was bludgeoned and stabbed to death on Nov. 13,2003.

Fri Sat 6.30 12...
MANDAN, N.D. — A recent study from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health found more than 31 percent of North Dakotaans age 12 and older said they had five or more drinks in one sitting during the month before the survey, done in 2002 and 2003. The national average for binge drinking was 23 percent.
The sign at Dad's Place, Ninth and Massachusetts streets, points to the entrance of the alternative coffee shop. Dad's Place was created to provide teenagers with a safe place to congregate on Friday and Saturday nights from 6 p.m. to midnight.
Binge use is defined as having five or more drinks on the same occasion at least once in the last 30 days.
Nearly 55 percent of North Dakotans between the ages of 18 and 25 reported binge drinking. About 17 percent who were ages 12 to 17 and about 28 percent in the 26-and-older category said they had five or more drinks in one sitting.
Joel Tiegreen, Lawrence resident, begins a game of pool with Travis Adams, Lawrence resident, at Dad's Place, a coffee shop located at Ninth and Massachusetts streets. Both Tiegreen and Adams are active members of the Mustard Seed Christian Fellowship, the church that owns the coffee shop.

What is this place?
At Ninth and Massachusetts streets, there's a concrete stairwell that leads to an orange painted basement entrance. Illuminated by two flood lights, a blue-gray plywood sign hangs above the stairwell with the words "Dad's Place" painted on it. On the sign there are two hands: one pointing toward heaven and another pointing to the west.
"We get that question about once a week," Melissa Ingalls, overseer of Dad's Place and 2000 University of Kansas graduate. said.
Church coffee shop not your father's pool hall
Dad's Place offers teenagers liquor-free fun
Dad's Place, 2 E. Ninth St., is a coffee shop and snack bar designed for teenagers. Open from 6 p.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays, it has free pool, foosball and darts. It's dimly lit like a bohemian coffee shop with artsy black and white photos along the wall.
In the center of the room, patrons sit on couches and watch the Kansas men's basketball game on television, cheering and booing.
"We get people that come down here that think it's a bar," Ingalls said. "They come up to the counter, and say, 'Oh, you don't sell beer?'"
The youth group at Mustard
Seed Christian Fellowship, 700 Wakarusa Drive, opened Dad's Place a year and a half ago to give teenagers a safe place to hang out, Ingalls said.
The coffee shop got its name from "the father" in the Holy Trinity — the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The two hands on the sign are "D" and "P" in sign language.
Despite its religious undertones, there is no organized evangelism at Dad's Place, Ingalls said.
The Healing Stone, a homeopathic store, was in that location before it was Dad's Place.
It took four months to convert it from a retail space to a coffee shop.
"There's totally a lack of places we can go," Barclay said. "There's plenty of places 18- to 20-year-olds can go to."

Hey Kansas, Don't ignore No.14 seed
Editor's Note: Kansan columnist Jack Weinstein prophesied this letter from the Bucknell basketball players to the Kansas basketball players.
Dear University of Kansas men's basketball team.
You were probably excited to see that you drew us in the first round of this year's NCAA Tournament. You are the high and mighty Kansas Jayhawks, the No. 3 seed, and we are the lowly Bucknell Bison, the No. 14 seed. Right? We find it hard to believe that you would ever consider us a worthy opponent, but you're wrong. Consider this letter a warning.
We know all about your rich tradition at Kansas. We know about your two NCAA National Championships. You've played in seven title games and only won two. What's up with that? That's only 29 percent. We know you've won 48 conference championships and appeared in 12 Final Fours. Big deal.
We are the Patriot League Tournament champions. You couldn't even win your tournament or the outright league title. You had to share the Big 12 regular season title with Oklahoma, and that shouldn't even count because you lost to that team 71-63 in the regular season.
We aren't pushovers; we beat then-No. 7 Pittsburgh, St. Joseph's, (whom you beat by 40, but we don't think about that) and Niagara this season.
Basketball aside, Bucknell as a university is far superior to Kansas. Our University was founded in 1846, yours in 1866. We are located in beautiful,

The Jayhawks trailed by as many as five in the second half and needed a 14-4 run in the game's closing minutes to avoid being the first No. 1 seed in NCAA Tournament history to get bounced in the first round.
Kansas pulled that one out, 70-59, and four games later, advanced to the Final Four in Atlanta.
This season, the Patriot League has a different tournament champion, but the same opponent for the first round game: Kansas. Bucknell defeated Holy Cross in the Patriot League Tournament to earn an automatic NCAA Tournament bid.
Senior guard Mike Lee, who was around for the near-upset three years ago, said Bucknell isn't a team to be taken lightly. Kansas seniors should know anything can happen in the first round.
"The first-round jitters can get you," Lee said. "On any given day any team can win because every team is coming out here to play and every team is coming out here to win."
The idea that any team can get hot or lucky and knock off a higher seed
is something that Bucknell coach Pat Flannery hopes will work in his team's favor.
"Kansas is obviously one of the premier teams in the country." Flannery said. "Our guys are all college basketball fans, and I'm sure they've seen Kansas on television plenty of times. But we will be ready for them."
Bucknell is coming into the tournament winning 18 of its last 23 games, and it's not like the Bison haven't faced their fair share of good teams. Their non-conference schedule included St. Joseph's, Iowa State, Villanova and Pittsburgh, three teams that the Jayhawks faced as well. On Jan. 2, Bucknell defeated then-No. 7 ranked Pittsburgh 69-66 on Pittsburgh's home court. The team also defeated St. Joseph's 69-62.
Like the Jayhawks, who suffered their worst loss of the season to Villanova, the Bison fell to that team 89-51.
"We played a tough non-league schedule to hopefully prepare ourselves for a situation like this," Flannery said. "I certainly don't expect any intimidation factor at all."
The win against Pittsburgh put Bucknell on the national radar and caught the attention of some Kansas players, including senior guard Keith Langford.
"I've kinda followed them since they beat Pitt," Langford said. "They've earned our respect."

The Bison are led by their three leading scorers Chris McNaughton, and junior guards Charles Lee and Kevin Bettencourt.

Bryant Nash, former Kansas men's basketball player, stretches his right knee during rehabilitation exercises at the Lawrence Surgical Center last Wednesday afternoon. Nash injured his knee gradually while playing basketball for the American Basketball Association team, the Colorado Storm. He played two games for the Storm this year before having surgery Feb. 11. Nash is taking classes this semester and will graduate in May with a degree in sociology.
Former forward struggles to play
Bryant Nash finds injuries fewer opportunities in life after Kansas basketball
BY FRANK TANKARD
fankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Editor's Note: Kansan sportswriter Frank Tankard will profile a former Kansas men's basketball player each day this week, leading up to the Jayhawks' first game on Friday. Each player featured took the court for the Jayhawks sometime during the last four years. This is the second installment of the five-part series. Tomorrow, Tankard will profile former forward leff Graves.
He eased into the wooden bleachers six rows behind the players' bench and propped his long right leg up on the next row. After tip-off, he spent more time talking on his cell phone, text messaging and fiddling with his afro pick than he did watching the game.
He leaned on the rail and limped down the steps one by one.
Bryant Nash can't stand to watch. It hurts too much. The only reason he spent his Friday night in the stuffy gymnasium of Johnson County Community College was his friend Tony dragged him there to see their friends Jeff and Robby Graves play for the Kansas City Knights.
After halftime, Nash ran into his biggest fan, a 7-year-old boy wearing a black headband over his ears and oversized basketball shorts.
Nash smiled and gave his pal a big handshake, recognizing the boy from past Kansas basketball camps.
Nash carefully drew the right leg of his jeans up to his knee and showed him his scar.
"I had surgery, but it'll be better in a couple of months."
***
When his Kansas basketball career ended last spring, Nash didn't exactly go out on top. Never proving to the coaches that he was a consistent player, the 6-foot-9 forward played less as a senior than he did as a freshman, averaging just 4.9 minutes per game.
After the season, he traveled to camps in Tulsa, Okla., and Westchester, Ill., to scrimmage against other professional wannabes with the hope of
impressing scouts. But all he got was a few empty promises and one insultingly low offer.
Nash said camp directors and people claiming to have connections to Europe kept telling him that teams wanted him, but nothing materialized.
He called coach Bill Self for advice, and Self told him that he'd be better off finishing his sociology degree.
One team from Switzerland offered him a spot on its roster, but would only pay him $1,000 a month. He considered it, though he didn't know how he would afford food.
Thinking back on how hard things would have been in Switzerland, Nash said he was glad Self steered him back to Kansas.
He enrolled in a couple of fall classes and kept his eye out for an opportunity.
In January, Nash caught a break when he ran into Eric Stamps, a former assistant coach at Emporia State. Stamps knew Antonio "Tree" Adams, coach and general manager of the Colorado Storm of the American Basketball Association.
"He looked out for me." Nash said.
Nash said when he told Stamps he was looking to play, Stamps called Adams and put a word in for him. Adams told Stamps to send Nash to a hotel in Kansas City at 7 a.m., where he would meet him.
Nash said he went to bed nervous. When he woke up the next day in his Lawrence apartment, he looked at his clock: it was already past seven. He called Stamps and begged him to ask Adams for another chance. Adams refused.
But soon after, when the team came to Kansas City to play the Knights, Adams told Nash that if he came to the game, he would play. This time Nash showed up.
He did good enough to earn a road trip with the team. In the next couple of games his right knee, which had been bothering him since the summer, really started to hurt. The injury soon became obvious to his coach and teammates.
When the Storm returned to Kansas City, Nash embarrassed himself with an ugly missed dunk.
"Everybody was laughing at me," he said. "It got to that point, and I was still trying to play on it."
The team released him after his fifth game. As soon as he got back to Lawrence, he went to the

NCAA TOURNAMENT
Albuquerque regional tournament review
Kevork Diansezlan/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY KELLIE ROBINETT
hrobinett@hansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRIER
Arizona's Salim Stoudamire, guard, reaches in to foul Washington's Nate Robinson as Will Comroy looks on during the closing seconds of the championship game of Pac-10 college basketball tournament Saturday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Washington defeated Arizona, 81-72, and clinched a No. 1 seed in the Albuquerque region.
Editor's note: Kansan sportswriter Kellis Robinett will examine the four regions in the NCAA Tournament before play starts Thursday. The following is a breakdown of the Albuquerque regional. Tomorrow, Robinett will dissect the first-round games in the Austin regional.
Washington finished second in the Pac 10 standings, but won the conference tournament and claimed a top seed. UW likes to run and has four players that average more than 10 points a game. Montana got into the Big Dance by defeating Weber State in the championship game of the Big Sky Conference Tournament. The Grizzlies are extremely young and only have one senior on the roster.
No. 1 Washington (27-5) vs. No. 16 Montana (18-12)
No. 8 Pacific (26-3) vs. No. 9 Pittsburgh (20-8)
Pacific is the best mid-major team in the field, and has been ranked for the majority of the season. The Tigers own victories against three tournament teams - Utah State, Nevada and Texas-El Paso - and played Kansas tough in Allen Fieldhouse. Pittsburgh suffered from late losses and fell to a nine seed, but the Panthers can play with anyone. They won at Connecticut, crushed Boston College and swept Syracuse.
No. 5 Georgia Tech (19-11) vs. No. 12
George Washington (22-7)
By playing its best basketball late, Georgia Tech made it to the championship game of the ACC Tournament and is poised to make another run to the Final Four. George Washington is also on a roll, winning four straight games and the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The Colonials also own impressive victories against Maryland and Michigan State.
No. 4 Louisville (29-4) vs. No. 13 LA-
LAfavette (20-10)
Louisville finished the season on a nine-game winning streak and won the Conference USA regular season and tournament titles. Junior forward Francisco Garcia was selected to the All-Conference USA Team, and
three other Cardinals average more than 10 points a game. Louisiana Lafayette will be ready. The Ragin' Cajuns played Louisiana State, Charlotte, Kansas, North Carolina State and Southern Illinois during the regular season.
No. 6 Texas Tech (20-10) vs. No. 11 IUCLA (18-10)
UCLA returns to the NCAA Tournament after a two year absence. The Bruins are led by senior forward Dijon Thompson, who scores more than 18 points a game. Ben Howland's team finished third in the Pac 10 standings and defeated Washington earlier in the year. But the edge has to go to Texas Tech. It's tough to pick against a coach like Bob Knight, who just last weekend told his team. "The next player to give up a rebound will be shot." Senior guard Ronald Ross and sophomore guard Jarrius Jackson both average more than 15 points a game and have the Red Raiders playing strong.
The Cinderella label is getting old for Gonzaga. For the second straight year the Zags have a top-three seed. They are led by senior forward Ronny Turriaf, who turned down the NBA to finish his college career. Turriaf, along with three other players, averages more than 12 points a game. Gonzaga will have a tough test with Winthrop, who
No. 3 Gonzaga (25-4) vs. No. 14 Winthrop (27-5)
No. 7 West Virginia (21-10) vs. No. 10
Creighton (23-10)
west Virginia only finished 8-8 in the Big East, but a run to the championship game of the Big East Tournament catapulted the Mountaineers into a seven seed. It has six players that average more than eight points a game. Creighton got into to the Big Dance after winning the Missouri Valley Tournament. The Jays finished third place in the regular season standings, but are riding an eight-game winning streak.
No. 2 Wake Forest (26-5) vs. No. 15 Chattanooga (20-10)
The Deamon Deacons looked terrible against North Carolina State last weekend But that was without sophomore guard Chris Paul, who was suspended for throwing a punch in a previous game. Paul will be playing in the NCAA Tournament and Wake Forest should have no problem taking care of Chattanooga. The Mocs finally got in the Big Dance after losing in the Southern Conference Tournament's championship game the last two years. They are led by senior forward Mindaugas Katelynas, who nearly averages a double-double with 12 points and 9.1 reboundes.

FOOTBALL

Fans will see many of the junior college transfers that will play for the Jayhawks next season such as defensive tackle Wayne Wilder. Mangino said in February's signing day press conference that there were many players that will make an immediate impact on the offensive and defensive lines.
Spring practices start, to be open to public
DIVING
The Kansas football team will hold an open practice to the public at 3:40 p.m. Wednesday the football fields next to Hogland Ballpark, coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday.
This will be the first opportunity for fans to see how the Jayhawk football team will look next season. Practice began Sunday for Kansas, and will run until April 16 when the annual spring game will take place at 3 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
Freshman ends season on high note at Zone D
This past weekend, freshman diver Jenny Roberts wrapped up
the 2004-2005 diving season with a strong finish.
Roberts was the only member of the Kansas diving team to compete in the NCAA Zone D regional diving meet.
Coming off a back injury during her senior year of high school, last Saturday was Roberts' first attempt at Championship diving. She completed six dives in the one-meter diving competition and finished 17th.
Coach Erie Elliot said that there were a couple of dives on which Roberts "missed a bit."

Roberts said that she most wanted to come out of the meet with experience, and Elliot believes that is exactly what she has now.
Roberts was in ninth place after completing the first three dives but slipped down to 17th after poor performances on the next two dives.
Elliot said that Roberts' goal was to place, which she did.
"Eighteen is the cut," Elliot said,
"and she made the cut."
Although diving is over until next fall, Roberts has finished with experience that should set her up to be a leader on the team next season.

historic Lewisburg, Pa. Your campus is on a hill in Lawrence, Kan. We are a private school; you are public. Your mascot is the Jayhawk, a mythical bird with historic implications we understand. We'd like to point out that our mascot is a real animal. Bison actually exist. On top of that, our student body is smarter. Our average SAT score is 1299. What do you think of that, Kansas?
We hear that the University of Kansas has trouble keeping its students from flunking out. Our retention rate is 96 percent
and 89 percent of our students go on to graduate. Ninety-four percent of those students find jobs in the first six months after graduation. Can you boast those statistics, Kansas? Didn't think so.
You think you're so special with your All-American candidate and Big 12 Conference Player of the Year Wayne Simien, one of the nation's most efficient point guards in Aaron Miles, and one of the country's best slashers in Keith Langford. Will he even play? We have a three-point threat in junior Kevin Bettencourt, Bucknell's all-time leader in that category. Our own version of Langford is junior Charles Lee, who can also knock down

where he scored 58 points in two games. Additionally, McNaughton is averaging a little more than four rebounds a game, while Simien averages almost 10.
In the backcourt, the Bison are led by Bettencourt, a three-point specialist, who leads the team in scoring with 12.7 points per game. He ranks fifth all-time in Bucknell history with 137 three-point shots.
The Jayhawks began their NCAA tournament preparations yesterday. They practiced for the first time since their loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday. Coaches began the scouting report on Bucknell last night immediately after the
selection show. Self said the coaching staff had taped every game since Feb. 1, so they already had film to watch on Friday's opponent.
"We have one tape and we will make arrangements to get stuff on our two possible opponents," he said.
Self said the team would prepare for Bucknell until Wednesday and then begin preparing for possible matchups with Northern Iowa or Wisconsin.
Basketball Notebook:
* Keith Langford
Senior guard Keith Langford said he did two individual workouts on Saturday: one before he came to Kansas City, Mo., for the Jayhawks' game against the Oklahoma State
Cowboys and one after he returned to Lawrence.
Langford said he would have tried to play Sunday had the Jayhawks advanced to the Big 12 Conference championship.
"As far as my ankle goes, I am fine." Langford said. "But healthwise I am, like, one to two days away from being 100 percent."
♦ Freshmen seeing minutes
Langford was out all last week with an injured left ankle and came down with a severe case of stomach flu last Wednesday. He had to be admitted to the hospital for dehydration.
Freshmen Alex Galindo and C.J. Giles saw more minutes during the past weekend than they have in a while. Giles had played three total minutes in the Jayhawks' last four games,
but he saw 11 minutes of action on Saturday. Galindo was one of the five Jayhawks on the court in the game's crucial minutes and he took the potential game-tying shot.
Junior Christian Moody's health has been part of the reason freshmen have seen recent playing time, coach Bill Self said. Moody has not been completely healthy since he suffered a staph infection in his right knee after Texas Tech defeated Kansas on Feb.14.
"You can see he's not playing or exploding the way that he was before," Self said.
* Extra day's rest.
Self said that because the Jayhawks did not play in the Big 12 Tournament championship game on Sunday, and will not play an NCAA tournament game
until Friday, the extra rest could allow his team to be as healthy as it has been since mid-season.
"We may need to wear reflector shirts to make sure oncoming cars see us," he laughed.
◆ Travel schedule
The Jayhawks will travel to Oklahoma City tomorrow. Self said the team would most likely take a bus, rather than a charter flight, similar to when it traveled to Norman to play Oklahoma.
"We just need to get whole," Self said. "This will be about as whole as we've been if we can get through the week."
Kansas will play in the final Friday night game, scheduled to tip off about 8:50 p.m. It will be aired in Lawrence on cable channels 5 and 13.

Royals cut players, send 7 to minors
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Right-hander Byron Embry, who allowed one hit to the nine batters he faced in spring training, was among 10 players cut yesterday from the Kansas City Royals team.
BASEBALL
Embry was reassigned to Royals' minor league camp.
Right-handed pitchers Steve Stemle and Roberto Giron were also cut.
—The Associated Press
The Royals sent pitches Brian Bass, Leo Nunez and Devon Lowery and second baseman Donnie Murphy to Double-A Wichita, and sent first baseman Justin Huber and catcher Paul Phillips to Triple-A Omaha.
NCAA BASKETBALL
Owls coach returns to lead team in NIT
PHILADELPHIA — John Chaney will return to coach Temple in the NIT.
Chaney was suspended for the final five games of the season after ordering rough play from one of his players, who broke the arm of St. Joseph's senior John Bryant.
Temple extended Chaney's initial one-game self-suspension to three games after the extent of Bryant's injury was discovered. Chaney then banned himself from the Atlantic 10 Tournament.

ADVENTURES OF A FAKE BLONDE
Man, I'm totally going to fail this midterm. I need to study hard!
I'm hungry. I wonder
what time the library
closes? Bagel's sound good,
or cheers! Mmmm!
It's sunny
out.
Someone's
playing
the Rolling
Stones.
I should go for a walk.
This German test is going
to be hard. I'm BORED.
Wait, didn't you see you had to stay day for Mid terms today?
I already did. Let's go to Mare's street!

▼ HOROSCOPES
+ Today's Birthday. Learn what you need to do to fix up your place just the way you want it. Hire experts, when you're not sure what you're supposed to do next. This will be fun.
+ Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6.
You're learning a lot for the next few days, but some lessons disappoint.
Don't fret if you discover what doesn't work or isn't worth anything. It's good to know these things.
- Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7. Even though you love your friends, don't tell them everything. Keep private negotiations under wraps until later, for best results.
- Gemini (May 21 June 21) Today is a 6.
Timing is important, if you want to win this round. You'll do well to hold onto what you have. Don't go into battle alone, put together a team.
> Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
Go with the option that’s steady and
sure, even if it takes longer. Put some stability into your life, you've got enough excitement.
- Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5. If you don't like the way things are being done, make decisions for yourself. Then, share them with the powers that be. You could win a promotion.
★ Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8n You travells and what you've been learning are putting you into a better position. Take on more responsibility. Make sure your pay goes up accordingly.
+ Libra (Sept. 23-Cet. 22) Today is a 6.
You may be worried about whether a gamble will pay off. Actually, the odds are good, but there's still some work involved. Minimize your risk.
+ Scorpion (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8. For the next little time, you'll need to start looking at the numbers. If there's not enough to buy what you
want, don't despair, Figure out how to get it.
+ Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 6. If you're not progressing as rapidly as you'd like, don't stress. It would be a good idea to get somebody to help.
Does anyone owe you a favor?
+ Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8. You and a loved one will have lots of time to dig into the past, if you want. Conditions are much better now for planning your future together.
+ Aquarus (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6.
Schedule more time for long conversations for the next couple of days. Love and money are the two topics most likely to come up. There will be surprises.
+ Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 7. Domestic matters can interfere with your regular chores. This is a temporary situation. Take care of family first.

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL
Intramurals play in semifinals
By MICHAEL PHILIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The matchups are set for tonight's men's and women's intramall championships.
Physical play was the common theme last night in the Student Recreation Fitness Center, with the referees staying busy all night.
In the men's division, the Seminoles defeated Phi Slamma Jamma 55-49 in a game that came down to the wire.
The Seminoles took advantage of open shots in the first half and held the upper hand by 16 points at halftime.
"We felt like we were in control the whole half," Mark Moxley, St. Louis senior said.
In the second half, Phi
Slamma Jamma slowed down
the pace of the game.
They succeeded in getting inside shots and slowly chipped away the lead, outscoring the Seminoles 19-4 in a six-minute stretch.
The Seminoles got into foul trouble early in the half and finished the game with five players.
In the last minute, ahead by three, they stopped Phi Slamma Jamma from making a three-point shot that would have put them within striking distance.
Phi Slamma Jamma ends their season 9-1 overall. The Seminoles will go into the finals at 8-0.
They will go up against defending champions Johnny Kilroys. The Kilroys blew away the Young Gunz with 17 uncontested points in a six-minute stretch in the first half.
both teams, and the Killroys took the victory 68-49.
Two Young Gunz players
fouled out during the game.
It was a slow second half for
In the women's half of the bracket, the Hawks punched their ticket to the final with a 65-27 stomping of Thunder Thighs.
Keep Shooting defeated Chopper City 38-55 after trailing for most of the game.
They, too, will have to face a defending champion in the finals.
Just eight minutes into the game, the Hawks had already established their dominance with a 19-2 lead.
The team is 5-1, and has won by an average of 25 points in its tournament games.
The first half played out slowly, with each team using a timeout to slow a rally by the other. At halftime, Keep Shooting was trailing by three.
"We chilled out, slowed down, and started taking our time," Lauren Jenkins, St. Louis sophomore, said.
Changing the pace worked, and in the second half, Keep Shooting broke the stalemate with 10 minutes to play.
Keep Shooting was dominant from the free-throw line, shooting 67 percent for the game and 75 percent in the final two minutes.
They enter the final with an overall record of 5-1. Chopper City ends their season at 5-1.
They never led by more than five but held onto the lead down the stretch.
The women's final will tip off at 8 tonight, followed by the men's and co-rec finals at 9 and 10 p.m. All games are in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas training room to see what was wrong with his knee. Trainer Billy Cowgill 1 had X-rayed it over the summer when Nash first started feeling pain but hadn't seen anything wrong.
This time, Cowgill discovered that two pieces of bone had broken off inside Nash's right knee and his meniscus was torn. The X-ray taken in the summer had apparently not been held to the proper light, and the injury had gotten much worse over time.
Nash needed surgery
Grendia Forshee, Nash's mother, had the surgery delayed a few days so she could come up from Coppell, Texas. She wanted to be in the recovery room to hold her son's hand when he woke up.
She said that when Nash was little, he was scared of everything: butterflies, piggy banks, you name it.
when he was three years old and they were living in Chicago. She received a call from her sister, who was babysitting little Bryant. He just wouldn't stop crying.
"I didn't know what to do," Forshee said. "She said he was looking at a straw that was sticking out of a vase. He saw the shadow of the straw, and it scared him."
Yes, he was even afraid of shadows.
Luckily, his family was there to care for him while he grew up in Lake West apartments, a housing project in West Dallas, where he lived from preschool to middle school with his sisters Conchetta, who is two years younger than him, and Michole, who was born when he was 14.
Nash's parents got divorced when he was about 10, and after that he only saw his father, Bryant Sr., a couple of times a
"Most people don't believe me, but it was pretty rough," he said. "Cops patrolling the neighborhood all the time, gangs and stuff."
"As strict as my mom was, she kept me away from all that stuff," he said. "If she wasn't there, I was with my aunties, and they would whoop my butt when I was acting bad."
week at most. But his mom was always there, along with a support crew of aunts, uncles and grandparents.
Sitting on the balcony of the Wagnon Student Athlete Center, Nash told a story about being stuck in an elevator during his trip to Sweden.
He was on a tour of Europe with a Big 12 Conference all-star team the summer after his sophomore year. As the team was about to leave a Swedish hotel for a game, Nash stepped into the elevator alone. It abruptly stopped between floors.
When someone finally opened the door, he ran out as fast as he could.
Afraid of being left behind, he called back, he picked up the elevator phone and called the desk clerk.
These days, he takes it pretty easy. He's taking his final two classes: "Introduction to Social Research" and bowling. He spends a lot of time with Ashley Michaels, his girlfriend of nearly three years and a senior middle blocker this past fall on the Kansas volleyball team.
stuck in place while everyone else is out there playing.
Since his knee surgery, it's like he's back in that elevator.
He said the bad part was that he had way too much time to think about basketball.
"Oh God, I talk about it like three, four, five times a day," he said.
The doctors say his knee should be healed by May 11. Eleven days later, Nash will receive his diploma for a bachelor's degree in sociology.
He could be back playing for the Colorado Storm next fall. The team recently told him it wants him around next season.
"Unless something better comes along, I might take that," he said.
For now, all he can do is watch.

CAMPUS SAFETY
Violent crimes on the rise
Report shows overall crime decreasing
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Violent crimes have increased for the third year in a row at the University of Kansas.
NUMBER OF VIOLENT CRIMES ON CAMPUS
During one year, they doubled to 10 in 2004, according to KU Public Safety Office statistics released last week.
Violent crimes, defined as murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, are on a three-year increase at the University. Below are the numbers of violent crimes reported to the KU Public Safety Office from 1997 to 2004.
"It's not a significant increase overall," Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office, said.
Despite an increase of violent crimes, overall crimes have decreased 43 percent since 1997 and 3 percent in 2004. Violent crimes accounted for less than 2 percent of all crimes reported in 2004.
Number
Violent crimes are defined as murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, which is assault with the intent to cause bodily harm or death.

Five aggravated assaults, four rapes and one robbery were reported to the public safety office in 2004.
Property crimes including theft, burglary and vandalism accounted for 75 percent of all crimes reported.
Simple assaults, when the intent
to cause bodily harm is less, also increased 79 percent in 2004. This was due to an increase of domestic violence incidents. One couple was responsible for about one-fourth of the domestic violence calls. Bailey said.
Bailey said the public safety office's education efforts and an increase in overall awareness contributed to the decrease in overall crime.
Paige Rudd, St. Louis freshman, said she feels relatively safe at the University despite the increase in violent crimes.
The public safety office works with student organizations including fraternities and sororities, as well as faculty and staff on crime intervention and safety.
"The police do a pretty good job for a huge campus like this," she said.
The University had more reported crimes than seven of the 12 schools in the Big 12 Conference, according to 2003 and 2004 statistics from the universities. Only two Big 12 schools, Kansas State and Oklahoma State, reported more violent crimes than the University in 2003.

LAW SCHOOL
Provost announces interim dean
Provost David Shulenburger announced yesterday afternoon the appointment of KU law professor Michael Davis to serve as interim dean of the law school. Davis will succeed current dean Stephen McAllister, who is scheduled to step down Aug. 15. The interim position is scheduled to last through the 2005-06 academic year. Davis said he would follow goals set by McAllister. The interim position is scheduled to last through the 2005-06 academic year.
Though Davis served as the school's dean from 1980-1989, he said he realized the position was different now.
In addition to finding a permanent dean, Davis will be faced with the hiring of staff members
"I think the landscape has changed some. It's a larger job now, although the dean has more help in doing the job," he said. "I think the fundamentals are the same."
and accreditation through the American Bar Association.
"We have had these before and made it through in pretty good shape with good results," he said of accreditation. "I'm confident we can do it again."
Currently, Davis is employed as an attorney at the Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP law firm. Its main office is in downtown Kansas City, Mo.
Davis is admitted to the bar in both Kansas and Missouri, according to his firm's Web site, www.stinsonmoheck.com.
While he plans on continuing employment at the firm, his workload will be reduced, he said.
McAllister announced his resignation earlier this year. He had said in earlier reports that he wanted to spend more time with his family.
McAllister served as dean for five years.

Priest's influence spreads beyond walls of center
By Dani Litt ♦ dlitt@kansan.com
For almost 30 years the chapel of St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center has stood on the northeast edge of campus. Programs and services have changed throughout the years, but one factor that has remained constant has been Father Vincent Krische — or more simply, Father Vince.
The friendly, soft-spoken priest is a staple in the University of Kansas' Catholic community. It's been that way since 1977 when he became director of the center.
When he arrived, Krische wasn't sure he was the right person for the job.
But since his arrival, the center has grown from a small program to a teaching institution with three priests, 24 fulltime employees and more than 500 student participants.
Spiritual programs, teachings, daily and weekend mass, mentoring, service projects, conversion and social activities

STUDENT SENATE
Munch vetoes legal fee
BY DANIEL BERK
lberk@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For the first time during his presidency, Steve Munch, student body president, vetoed a bill written by Student Senate.
The proposed bill would have increased student fees $1.50 for all students to benefit Legal Services for Students, which provides legal advice and services to students for free.
Last year, when Munch, Bellevue, Neb., junior, ran for office, he promised that no student fees would be increased without a student vote.
"I vetoed this bill for personal reasons," Munch said. "I made a promise to students, and I want to keep it."
Student Senate will have an opportunity to overturn Munch's decision tonight at the Senate meeting.
Legal Services for Students was asking for the increase so it could make its attorney full time, instead of 75 percent time, according to the bill presented to Senate. Without the attorney being full-time, Legal
Two-thirds of Senate would have to disagree with Munch in order for the veto to be overturned.
Services for Students would not be able to handle as many cases.
Ryan Faulconer, chairman of the Legal Services Advisory Board, said he was disappointed in Munch's opinion, but understood why he made the decision.
The bill was approved in Senate on March 2 by a vote of 48 to 10, which is greater than a two-thirds majority. Faulconer, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, said he hopes people will vote the same this week, but that might not be the case.
"Steve's opinion carries a lot of weight in Senate," Faulconer said. "So, people could vote differently than they did last week."
If the veto is overturned, Munch said there would be nothing he could do at that point, and the fee would be increased.
If the veto passes through Senate, Munch said the increase might then go to a student vote during Senate elections.
"My guess is if the veto passes, the authors of this bill would write another one suggesting it go to a referendum." Munch said.
released their platforms, the newest coaltion, Student Voice, took the position that KUnited promised things but didn't follow through with them. Munch was elected as a member of the KUnited coalition.
Last week when the candidates for the upcoming Senate elections
Munch said Student Voice's platform had nothing to do with his decision to veto the bill.
"I started thinking about this bill before the platforms were even released," Munch said. "The election will not impact what I do in my last couple of months as president."
Dennis Chanay, presidential candidate for Student Voice, said he was pleased with Munch's decision.
Currently, students who are enrolled in more than five credit hours pay a total of $287 in student fees per semester.
"I don't know if he knew about our platform or not," Chanay, Paola freshman, said. "Either way, I think he made the right decision."
Some of the fees include a student health fee, a student recreation and fitness fee and a student union building fee. Those three fees amount to half of the total.

GUEST SPEAKER
Lecturer speaks about Kosovo
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
James Pettifur, expert on the Balkan region, began a lecture yesterday by saying Lawrence is the farthest west he has ever traveled. He gave a lecture yesterday in the Kansas Union, which was about the anticipated independence of Kosovo from Serbia.
"The United States is not learning from the mistakes made in Kosovo," Pettifer said. Pettifer is a professor at Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst Berkshire, England. He said the United States and the United Nations
should have learned from the mistakes made in Kosovo, namely rushing into a problem with the expectation that it could be resolved quickly. In addition, a lack of cultural understanding and ignorance of the country's history and religion is problematic.
As the United States deals with problems in Iraq, Pettifer said the U.S focus on Kosovo has been deterred.
He said that the administration has a lot on its plate with the mess in the Middle East, so they are not rushing to the problem in Kosovo. Condoleezza Rice recently added Kosovo to the United States' agenda. Pettifer said this was a good indication that the administration was making it a priority.
It is a priority. The Center for Russian and East European Studies sponsored the event. One of the center's missions is to promote awareness of western politics. Erik Herron, center director, said the lessons of Kosovo are useful to the U.S. and KU students because of United States involvement, as well as providing insight to ethnic and political issues in other world regions, namely the Middle East.
Pettifer wrote about Kosovo in his book, "Kosovo Express."

Kansans want heritage area
WASHINGTON — A proposed national heritage area in eastern Kansas would highlight violent events that led to the Civil War, a supporter told members of Congress yesterday.
Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts, both Kansas Republicans, introduced legislation earlier this year to designate the Bleeding Kansas and Enduring Struggle for Freedom National Heritage Area, which would include 24 counties in eastern Kansas.
yesterday. A National Park Service official, however, urged lawmakers to defer legislation authorizing any additional national heritage sites until Congress established a uniform system of guidelines for deciding what areas were nationally significant.
slavery forces in the area erupted in violence.
The designation would bring in money and other resources from the National Park Service to create historic markers, signs, brochures and museums. Heritage areas also can qualify for up to $1 million per year in federal funds for up to 10 years.
"Events in Kansas were significant to the evolving story of American freedom," Judy Billings, of the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, said yesterday.
Bleeding Kansas mainly refers to 1854 to 1861, when pro- and anti-
Janet Snyder Matthews, associate director for cultural resources at the National Park Service, told lawmakers the proposed area in Kansas is historically unique and meets the criteria for designation, but she said comprehensive legislation is needed before allowing more heritage area sites to be selected.

It's not debatable: Team wins tourney
Two sophomores brought a novice debate championship trophy back to the University of Kansas for the first time in KU debate history.
Lindsey Lhrop, Overland Park sophomore, and Brett Bricker, Wichita sophomore, defeated the University of Michigan last week and won the National Novice Championship Tourn
The team went into the tournament with the confidence to win the championship, Samuels said.

Sharp shooter

In more than three years since the 2001 anthrax-by-mail attacks, there have been scores of initial tests that falsely reported anthrax in government mailrooms.
Drew Thomas, Omaha, Neb., senior, plays pool Monday afternoon in the lower level of the Kansas Union. Thomas was wasting time before his African Art History class.
In this case, however, the bacteria were detected separately in two different mailrooms, raising concerns and invoking memories of the attacks that killed five and panicked Americans still raw from the Sept. 11 attacks.
Anthrax scares mailrooms
NATIONAL SECURITY
BY LAURA MECKLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Three mail facilities were closed two that serve the Pentagon and one in Washington that handles mail on its way to the military as well as all federal offices in the area.
WASHINGTON — Hundreds of postal workers were offered antibiotics yesterday and many were taking them after initial tests detected anthrax in a pair of military mailrooms. Nobody reported symptoms of the disease as officials awaited results of further testing.
Law enforcement officials have yet to make any arrests in that investigation. White House spokesman Scott McCellan said yesterday the case "remains a priority, remains under investigation."
Asked about suspicious results this week, McClellan said initial anthrax testing was positive, secondary testing was negative but "we're still waiting on more definitive results."
He added that President Bush was being kept informed about events.
No criminal case has been opened in response to the initial testing this week, an FBI official said yesterday as officials worked to figure out if actual anthrax was present.
Officials said all mail that passes through the facilities is irradiated, so any anthrax should have been inert when it triggered alarms.
Environmental testing was being conducted on the two military mail locations and at the District of Columbia facility, which was closed yesterday because it handles mail that is forwarded to the others.
Follow-up tests were being conducted at the U.S. Army Research Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md. They could take up to three days to complete.
In addition, about 260 people were tested for anthrax exposure at the Pentagon site, officials said. These exposure tests are conducted to help learn whether anthrax was present at the site, rather than to diagnose any individual.

A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MURRAY MURDER TRIAL
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 2005
Jury resumes deliberations
"They've got a lot to talk about. There is no shortage of evidence to review," defense attorney Bob Eye said. "It will require some time to separate the wheat from the chaff."
At one point yesterday, a television set and VCR were brought into the jury room, presumably so jurors could review a lengthy videotape of Murray talking to investigators during which he denied killing Ross. Murray did not testify during the trial.
BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — Defense attorneys and prosecutors said yesterday they didn't expect a quick verdict in the case of a Kansas State University professor charged with killing his former wife.
Wilson said the jury has some 400 prosecution and defense exhibits, mainly documents and photographs. Asked if she was concerned about the deliberations, Wilson said, "Not this early in a four-week trial."
The first-degree murder trial of Thomas E. Murray, 48, began Feb. 17 and ended Monday with closing arguments. He is accused in the 2003 death of Carmin D. Ross, 40.
"I don't think this jury would make this decision, one way or the other, without looking at the video again." Angela Wilson, an assistant district attorney, said.
The Douglas County District Court jury of eight women and four men deliberated for an hour Monday afternoon, resuming work yesterday morning.
Also defense attorneys met Tuesday with Murray, who was in a detention cell at the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, Eye
said. He characterized Murray as "composed and certainly concerned."
As the jury met, family members waited in the district attorney's office. Ross' fiance, Larry Lima, of San Diego, said he would accept whatever verdict is returned.
Prosecutors say Ross was bludgeoned and stabbed on Nov. 13, 2003. Her body was found the next day in the living room of her rural home north of Lawrence.
"I've worked real hard and prayed about not being attached to the outcome," he said.
They argued the English professor killed his wife partly because he was furious he could lose his daughter, who was 4 at the time, in a custody battle. Ross had planned to move to California, where Lima lived.
Defense attorneys countered that Murray, who lived in Manhattan, was a peaceful, calm man saddened by the end of his 18-year marriage. They also said there was no blood, hair or fiber evidence or fingerprints linking Murray to the crime. They suggested Ross was killed by at least two unidentified people.
After the divorce, Murray and Ross shared custody of their daughter and were mediating custody issues at the time of her death. The defense argued Murray had received encouraging news from the attorney handling his child-custody dispute.
Prosecutors said Murray conducted Internet searches on how to commit murder and dismissed defense arguments that Murray searched the Internet because he was conducting research about writing television crime dramas. They said he was considering moving to California.

Dogs and wheat are breeder's treat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
at Kansas State University, where she's involved in producing other prize winners: strains of wheat.
MANHATTAN — A Kansas dog breeder who produced the surprise winner of the best-of-show award at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club in New York last month has another and seemingly unrelated area of expertise.
"When I talk to dog people and tell them I work with wheat breeding, they'll ask, 'What's the connection?'"" Coonrod said. "People don't realize there's not a lot of difference between dogs versus plants when it comes to the breeding strategy."
but Lucetia Coonrod actually sees similarities in breeding German shorthair dogs and her job at the agronomy department
What turned out really great at the 129th Westminster show
was the highly publicized best-of-show award that went to a 5-year-old German shorthair named Ch. Kan-Point's VJK Autumn Roses, but known familiarly as Carlee.
Carlee, who wasn't considered a favorite going into the competition, won out over more than 2,500 other dogs from among 165 breeds and varieties. That meant a round of appearances on morning television talk shows, and later with comic
David Letterman.
“Winning best in show is something you dream of, but it is so elusive you never think it will happen,” Coonrod said. “Like winning an Oscar, you never think there is a big chance it will actually happen. If you don't think you're going to win and have no expectations, sometimes the dogs are more relaxed and anything they do is better when you're the dark horse.”

"It helped me to become a part of the bigger University family," he said. "I had the opportunity to work with the students and see what they were experiencing. I came to really appreciate student athletes."
He also served the University of Kansas Alumni Association, created an alternative spring break program and has been involved with the Douglas County AIDS project and the Douglas County United Way.

The alumni association and the University honored Krische in 1999 with the Distinguished Service Citation.
The certificate hangs on the wall next to his office door, surrounded by numerous other awards from the Catholic Campus Ministry Association.

But he's not in the priesthood for the glory. He does it for the people he helps.
Touching Lives
Jessica Wicks is one of those Krishe has influenced.
The Colorado Springs junior wouldn't have her faith if it weren't for him, she said.
"He really has a huge desire to help students to grasp their faith and make it a part of their lives, not just something that they do on the weekends." Wicks said. "It really makes their faith who they are, and it becomes a lifestyle rather than an activity."
Wicks grew up listening to Krische while she lived in Lawrence during her childhood. She veered from her faith after she graduated high school in California.
After being an atheist for a year at California State University in Bakersville, she transferred to the University, something she said she always wanted to do.
"Father Vince was the most familiar face when I came back," Wicks said. "It was welcoming to have him there because he knew who I was and cared about my spiritual development."
Wicks said her conversion occurred on a retreat that Krische invited her to attend.
"It if wasn't for Father Vince inviting me to my faith, I may not have come back at all and now it's a huge part of who I am," she said. "It is who I am."
"I just did what I thought I should be doing and people were positively affected. You always hope that that happens."
Dramatically changing people's lives is not what Krische tries to achieve.
"I just did what I thought I

should be doing and people were positively affected," he said. "You always hope that that happens."
Wicks still attends spiritual direction at the center and is in the process of deciding between married life or committing herself to the church as a nun.
"They don't keep priests in one place very long." Wicks said. "But they have kept Father Vince, which shows how much of a cornerstone he is to the center and how much his presence has an impact on students."
A Priestly Jayhawk
Priesthood is almost a tradition in the Krische's family.
Six relatives — his older brother, uncle, great uncle and three cousins — serve the Catholic church in the same way.
"It was just an urging to become a priest," Krische said of his decision to attend the St. Thomas Seminary in Colorado.
Had he not decided to join the seminary, he would've been a student at the University.
"I was always a Jayhawk in my heart," he said.
On May 23, 1964, Krische was ordained a priest in the cathedral in Kansas City, Kan.

After a short stint at Washburn, a nervous Krische was transferred to the University.

Banning books leaves students unprepared for higher learning
STEPHANIE LOVETT slovett@kansan.com
"Then there was the pain. A breaking and entering when even the senses are torn apart. The act of rape on an 8-year-old body is a matter of the needle giving because the camel can't. The child gives, because the body can, and the mind of the violator cannot."
— "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou
You were surely disturbed by reading the above passage. It might further disturb you to know that this book is assigned reading for sophomores in the Blue Valley School District. If so, you aren't alone. Some parents in the district organized in January to protest this book and 13 others that they considered vulgar, violent, profane or sexually stimulating. (See box below)
But these parents don't realize the benefit of reading material that shocks, saddens or repulses. The passage from Angelou's novel makes your stomach turn and hardly appears to be distinguished literature. But the content of books like these are vital to creating well-informed citizens. To understand the most horrific or heartbreaking aspects of life, we must read about and discuss them.
The basic argument of the group of parents — called Citizens for Literary Standards in Schools — is that because of the violent and depressing nature of the books they question, the district should choose other books for the students to read. Further descriptions of the group's goals and beliefs can be found at its Web site www.classKC.org.
James Woelfel, chairman of humanities and Western civilization, said he agreed with the parents about the present general vulgarization of American society.
American society.
"What I disagree with is making that the argument for having students read high-quality and time-tested literature as part of their high school education. Those are two separate issues," he said. To create a reading list based on excluding explicit material would not only eliminate contemporary authors such as Toni Morrison, but also would eliminate classic writers such as Aristophanes, Walt Whitman and Voltaire, he said.
By their argument, people shouldn't read the Bible either because it is full of violence, death and sex.
Angelou's book isn't the only one recognized as great literature on the parents' 14-book ban list. Among the books the parents want removed from the curriculum are a National Book Award nominee, a National Book Award winner, numerous New York Times bestsellers and a Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner. You would be hard-pressed to find a single negative review of any of the books.
Dorice Elliott, chairwoman of the University of Kansas' department of English, said she saw a disturbing pattern among the books singled out. She
said a large number of books on the list deal with racial issues, which she finds alarming. Though the books use strong language and graphic situations, they don't use them gratuitously.
"The solution isn't to ban them; it's to teach them appropriately," she said. "It's
like an ostrich burying its head in the sand; it's ignoring things that we as a country need to confront and deal with."
Like it or not, vulgar language, sex and violence are parts of life, and parts of college preparation. If students don't read a breadth of literature, they'll be unprepared for college, Elliott said. More importantly, they won't be literate citizens.
Almost 8,000 high school graduates from Johnson County enrolled at the University in Fall 2004,and many of them were from Blue Valley schools.
schools.
If this group of parents is successful, the University community will be damaged along with the students. Our academic discussion would suffer, as would our diversity of mind. In order for academic discussion to prosper, students must be well-versed in perspectives unlike their own.
I'm not arguing that the Blue Valley English curriculum is perfect. I'm arguing that the books being called into question should not be. Blue Valley students are lucky to cover some contemporary literature. It's an opportunity many don't have until college, if ever.
have until college, if ever. When I reflect on my own high school English education, I'm pleased with what I've read. But I'm also reminded about the wealth of literature I haven't had time to read. Thanks to the concerned parents of Blue Valley, I know what books I'll be reading next.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
John Stowell wrote a very convincing letter March 11 about the voucher system and I just wanted to offer a few thoughts.
Different problems make comparing private, public schools unreasonable
1. In 1999-2000 the average private school teacher salary was an appalling $29,822 while the average public teacher salary was a meager $42,949. The teachers averaged more than eight years of experience.
2. The private school numbers are also kept low by offering tuition breaks for those who regularly attend mass — for catholic schools — and other discounts for preferred students.
3. Public schools have added costs. These include running districts instead of an individual school. They include accommodating a new family whenever they move into an area and not just
Most importantly, giving parents whatever they want is not a great idea. There are parents who think that their kid should never get zeros and those who think that they should never be punished. They are problematic and IEPs (Individualized Education Plans) are already a huge hassle. If parents are able to take their money with their kid out of the schools, educators will be forced to give into these ridiculous demands just to keep the money.
when they want to admit them. They include bussing students to and from school.

ultimate audience.
— "Everything But the Burden: What White People are Taking from Black Culture" by Greg Tate
Ironically, hip-hop, a music genre deeply rooted in black culture, has a primarily white and middle-class audience. Now how is it that an industry dominated by blacks has mainly white listeners? Here are a few thoughts on this:
Like rock n' roll, hip-hop is an art form of rebellion. As a way to rebel, middle-class white youth, have embraced different forms of black music and culture.
Hip-hop was used as a tool to disobey parents and any authoritative figure. Using hip-hop as an identity, young whites became "gangstas in the 'burb" and helped to define for themselves exactly what it meant to be masculine and to live a masculine lifestyle.
to be misrepresented and to live in a culture that is biased against him. Hip-hop is an all-purpose global music. Born out of black and Hispanic neighborhoods in New York City, it gives the naive perception that hip hop lyrics are strictly about young minority men and their struggles to survive in the 'hood. Granted that most of the artists in the industry had to hustle to get to the present positions they are in, that does not confine their creativity in regards to lyrics, styles or beats.
Hip-hop can take people from across the world to church, the nightclubs, the war in Iraq and to bed. There is no limit to what hip-hop can do or who it can reach. It has become a universal music and one of the most powerful ways to export American culture abroad.
I am sure that one can understand the concept behind the statement that people want what they cannot have. That same concept holds true for something that one cannot understand. Non-blacks do not understand black culture, which has evolved tremendously. In the
1960s Jim Crow laws tried to break the spirits of blacks, which eventually would have crushed our culture. But we have found ways to use everything that was used against us to our best advantage.
They poked fun at our fat thick lips. With those same lips, we now speak lyrics that the whole world wants to hear. Non-blacks can never completely understand black culture because they are on the outside looking in. Even if one were raised in a predominately-black neighborhood, he would still not be able to grasp black culture. So no matter how many hip-hop albums one may buy, it can never serve as an entranceway into black culture. With that being said, I will never pretend as though I am "down" with Hispanics and their culture simply because I have taken a couple of cultural classes or listened to some songs. However, I do believe that I could gain a greater understanding of their point of view.
ng of their points.
By uniting races, hip-hop is a radical cultural force that has the power to improve race relations across the globe, especially in the United States. Greg Tate points out that hip-hop is not the only black artistic form appropriated by whites and that many problems developed as whites embraced rock 'n' roll, blues and jazz. Tate warns that black culture comes with responsibilities to be knowledgeable about the historical conditions and about the people who created it. To say it plainly, non-black hip-hop fans should enjoy the music, but appreciate and respect the people and the history that produced it.

CORRECTION
Sam Hopkins' column, "Violence in video games lessen sensitivity to value of humanity," in yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The sentence that read "Violent games are the root of society's ills" should have read "I want to be very clear that I do not think that violent games are the root of society's ills." The goal of the column was not to demonize video games, but to encourage readers to contemplate their own thought process when viewing violent images. Hopkins did not wish to imply causality of violence in video games to violence in the
streets. Mimicking violent behavior is not a constructive way to deal with violence in the world. The correct version can be found on Kansan.com.
CLARIFICATION
The Kansan wishes to apologize to the Interfraternity Council and Delta Upsilon for running a Free For All comment on March 11 that implied the fraternity had a party with keys and high school students. The comment should not have run.

Monsignor is an honorable ranking for a priest. Priests who are given the title serve as a chaplain to the pope.

Monsignor Vincent Krische delivers communion Sunday in the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center. After the Mass he talked, shook hands and socialized with worshippers. The center counts more than 500 KU students as worshippers, as well as numerous Lawrence residents.
For that, he is most proud
What Krische has accomplished, he credits to others. He said he simply asked the right people to help him.
"Somehow I was really blessed that the people I turned to and asked to lead the programs are good choices," he said.
Krische's endeavors can be seen throughout Lawrence.
He has served as a board member for the Friends of the Religious Studies Department as well as the Fraternity and Sorority Foundation Board.
Amanda Kim Stairrett/KANSAN Monsignor Vincent Krische blesses wine Sunday at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center. He went on a sabbatical last fall and spent three months in Colorado writing the history of St. Lawrence. He also spent three months studying in Rome.

Banning books leaves students unprepared for higher learning
"Then there was the pain. A breaking and entering when even the senses are torn apart. The act of rape on an 8-year-old body is a matter of the needle giving because the camel can't. The child gives, because the body can, and the mind of the violator cannot."

— "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou
You were surely disturbed by reading the above passage. It might further disturb you to know that this book is assigned reading for sophomores in the Blue Valley School District. If so, you aren't alone. Some parents in the district organized in January to protest this book and 13 others that they considered vulgar, violent, profane or sexually stimulating. (See box below)
The basic argument of the group of parents called Citizens for Literary Standards in Schools is that because of the violent and depressing nature of the books they question, the district should choose other books for the students to read. Further descriptions of the group's goals and beliefs can be found at its Web site www.classKC.org.
But these parents don't realize the benefit of reading material that shocks, saddens or repulses. The passage from Angelou's novel makes your stomach turn and hardly appears to be distinguished literature. But the content of books like these are vital to creating well-informed citizens. To understand the most horrific or heartbreaking aspects of life, we must read about and discuss them.
James Woolfel, chairman of humanities and Western civilization, said he agreed with the parents about the present general vulgarization of American society.
"What I disagree with is making that the argument for having students read high-quality and time-tested literature as part of their high school education. Those are two separate issues," he said. To create a reading list based on excluding explicit material would not only eliminate contemporary authors such as Toni Morrison, but also would eliminate classic writers such as Aristophanes, Walt Whitman and Voltaire, he said.
said.
By their argument, people shouldn't read the Bible either because it is full of violence, death and sex.
Angelou's book isn't the only one recognized as great literature on the parents' 14-book ban list. Among the books the parents want removed from the curriculum are a National Book Award nominee, a National Book Award winner, numerous New York Times bestsellers and a Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner. You would be hard-pressed to find a single negative review of any of the books.
the books.
Dorice Elliott, chairwoman of the University of Kansas' department of English, said she saw a disturbing pattern among the books singled out. She
said a large number of books on the list deal with racial issues, which she finds alarming. Though the books use strong language and graphic situations, they don't use them gratuitously.
"The solution isn't to ban them; it's to teach them appropriately," she said. "It's
like an ostrich burying its head in the sand: It's ignoring things that we as a country need to confront and deal with."
Like it or not, vulgar language, sex and violence are parts of life, and parts of college preparation. If students don't read a breadth of literature, they'll be unprepared for college. Elliott said. More importantly, they won't be literate citizens.
Almost 8,000 high school graduates from Johnson County enrolled at the University in Fall 2004,and many of them were from Blue Valley schools.
If this group of parents is successful, the University community will be damaged along with the students. Our academic discussion would suffer, as would our diversity of mind. In order for academic discussion to prosper, students must be well-versed in perspectives unlike their own.
have little college.
When I reflect on my own high school English education, I'm pleased with what I've read. But I'm also reminded about the wealth of literature I haven't had time to read. Thanks to the concerned parents of Blue Valley, I know what books I'll be reading next.
I'm not arguing that the Blue Valley English curriculum is perfect. I'm arguing that the books being called into question should not be. Blue Valley students are lucky to cover some contemporary literature. It's an opportunity many don't have until college, if ever.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Different problems make comparing private, public schools unreasonable
John Stowell wrote a very convincing letter March 11 about the voucher system and I just wanted to offer a few thoughts.
1. In 1999-2000 the average private school teacher salary was an appalling $29,822 while the average public teacher salary was a meager $42,949. The teachers averaged more than eight years of experience.
2. The private school numbers are also kept low by offering tuition breaks for those who regularly attend mass — for catholic schools — and other discounts for preferred students.
3. Public schools have added costs. These include running districts instead of an individual school. They include accommodating a new family whenever they move into an area and not just
Most importantly, giving parents whatever they want is not a great idea. There are parents who think that their kid should never get zeros and those who think that they should never be punished. They are problematic and IEPs (Individualized Education Plans) are already a huge hassle. If parents are able to take their money with their kid out of the schools, educators will be forced to give into these ridiculous demands just to keep the money.
when they want to admit them. They include bussing students to and from school.

Non-blacks will never fully understand black culture
A
"...blues, rock 'n' roll, soul, funk, reggae and hip-hop. Once the music of marginalized minorities, they have become the theme music of a young, white, middle-class male majority — due largely to that demographic's investment in the tragic — marginal display of virility exhibited by America's ultimate outside, the Black culture."
TIERRA SCOTT
tscott@kansan.com
- "Everything But the Burden: What White People are Taking from Black Culture" by Greg Tate
Ironically, hip-hop, a music genre deeply rooted in black culture, has a primarily white and middle-class audience. Now how is it that an industry dominated by blacks has mainly white listeners? Here are a few thoughts on this:
Like rock n' roll, hip-hop is an art form of rebellion. As a way to rebel, middle-class white youth, have embraced different forms of black music and culture.
Hip-hop was used as a tool to disobey parents and any authoritative figure. Using hip-hop as an identity, young whites became "gangsters in the 'burb" and helped to define for themselves exactly what it meant to be masculine and to live a masculine lifestyle.
Hip-hop is an all-purpose global music. Born out of black and Hispanic neighborhoods in New York City, it gives the naive perception that hip-hop lyrics are strictly about young minority men and their struggles to survive in the 'hood. Granted that most of the artists in the industry had to hustle to get to the present positions they are in, that does not confine their creativity in regards to lyrics, styles or beats.
Hip-hop can take people from across the world to church, the nightclubs, the war in Iraq and to bed. There is no limit to what hip-hop can do or who it can reach. It has become a universal music and one of the most powerful ways to export American culture abroad.
I am sure that one can understand the concept behind the statement that people want what they cannot have. That same concept holds true for something that one cannot understand. Non-blacks do not understand black culture, which has evolved tremendously. In the
1960s Jim Crow laws tried to break the spirits of blacks, which eventually would have crushed our culture. But we have found ways to use everything that was used against us to our best advantage.
They poked fun at our fat thick lips. With those same lips, we now speak lyrics that the whole world wants to hear. Non-blacks can never completely understand black culture because they are on the outside looking in. Even if one were raised in a predominately-black neighborhood, he would still not be able to grasp black culture. So no matter how many hip-hop albums one may buy, it can never serve as an entranceway into black culture. With that being said, I will never pretend as though I am "down" with Hispanics and their culture simply because I have taken a couple of cultural classes or listened to some songs. However, I do believe that I could gain a greater understanding of their point of view.
By uniting races, hip-hop is a radical cultural force that has the power to improve race relations across the globe, especially in the United States. Greg Tate points out that hip-hop is not the only black artistic form appropriated by whites and that many problems developed as whites embraced rock 'n' roll, blues and jazz. Tate warns that black culture comes with responsibilities to be knowledgeable about the historical conditions and about the people who created it. To say it plainly, non-black hip-hop fans should enjoy the music, but appreciate and respect the people and the history that produced it.

CORRECTION
Sam Hopkins' column, "Violence in video games lessen sensitivity to value of humanity," in yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The sentence that read "Violent games are the root of society's ills" should have read "I want to be very clear that I do not think that violent games are the root of society's ills." The goal of the column was not to demonize video games, but to encourage readers to contemplate their own thought process when viewing violent images. Hopkins did not wish to imply causality of violence in video games to violence in the
streets. Mimicking violent behavior is not a constructive way to deal with violence in the world. The correct version can be found on Kansan.com.
CLARIFICATION
The Kansan wishes to apologize to the Interfraternity Council and Delta Upsilon for running a Free For All comment on March 11 that implied the fraternity had a party with kegs and high school students. The comment should not have run.

Through the Birthrigh Israel organization, thousands of young Jewish adults travel to Israel every year. From the Dead Sea to Masada, students learn about their past, and their culture.
For a few KU students, the winter break was more than relaxation; it was a discovery of their history and their religion. Founded on the ideal that every Jewish person should have the opportunity to travel to Israel, Birthright Israel has sent nearly 78,000 young adults to date. The Birthright trip allows Jewish young adults to travel to Israel for the price of a plane ticket to New York.
But, several KU students opted to absorb more information about their history, religion and culture. This winter break, several KU students elected to explore their religious ties abroad on the Birthright Israel trip.
This year the University of Kansas sent 28 students on the Birthright trip. About 90 students attended informational meetings about the trip, and about 40 applied.

The 10-day Birthright Israel trip gave me a quick overview of my homeland. I was rushed from hiking in the Negev Desert to praying at the Western Wall, the holiest site in the Jewish tradition. Wandering through Israel, the Birthright trip allowed me to form a tangible connection to a land that I already knew well. The trip gave me an over-wheeling sense of emotion, from fear to love; my body and mind were in overload. I stood at the foot of Masada, where my ancestors selflessly fought thousands of years before. As I listened to my tourguide explain story after story, I found that I was becoming a part of the history. By traveling to Israel, I left my mark on the continuous story of my people.
After making my father's wallet about $250 lighter, I found myself in the possession of a round trip ticket from Memphis, Tenn., to New York to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and the opportunity of a lifetime. Like other KU students on the Birthright Israel trip, I boarded a 12-hour flight on El Al Airlines to discover about Israel what I had only read about in textbooks. As the plane landed and my ears popped, I found myself in a foreign land with a familiar connection.

NCAA Tournament success depends on three critical aspects of Jayhawks' game
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
There are just some rituals that come along with the start of the NCAA Tournament. College basketball fans fill out brackets, they listen to countless hours of television analysis and they sit around and gab about when and why their team will get knocked out of the tournament.
Rachel Seymour/KANSAL
Kansas basketball fans should look at several details of the Jayhawks' team before jumping to any conclusions.
Health
Wichita
42
Jeff Graves, KU graduate, slams the ball through the hoop as he warms up with his team, the Kansas City Knights, during their game at Johnson County Community College Friday night. Graves played for the University for two years, one year under Roy Williams when the Jayhawks went to the NCAA National Championship, where Graves shelled out 16 points and seized 16 rebounds. He now plays in the American Basketball Association with the Knights.
Kansas coach Bill Self said the Jayhawks could be healthier than they have been when they take the court on Friday. That would certainly be a change from the way the lineups have looked for the latter half of the Jayhawks' season.
After senior All-American candidate Wayne Simien sat out four games in December with an injured thumb, the Jayhawks haven't played many games with all their players healthy.
C. J. Giles injured his right foot in the Kentucky game Jan. 9. After struggling for three games, he was forced to ride the bench for six straight matchups. He missed critical practice time, which Self said has prevented Giles from contributing as much as expected. Freshman forward Alex Galindo also sat out early in the season, with an injured groin, and couldn't get into practice.
"His whole thing is with that staph infection you can't put any pressure on the area where it was infected," Self said. "So he couldn't even put a pad on it because that is to much pressure."
The most recent injury-
plagued Jayhawk has been Keith
Langford — and his injury came
as a double whammy. He
Junior forward Christian Moody missed the Jan. 12 game at Iowa State with an ankle injury. Recently he was kept out of another two games after a floor burn at Texas Tech turned into a staph infection. That injury is still affecting Moody's play, Self said.
Langford's health is the biggest question mark for the Jayhawks going into this weekend's first- and second-round games. He did an individual workout Sunday and practiced with the team Monday and yesterday, but Self said he was still not where he was before the injury.
injured his left ankle after the March 6 game at Missouri and hasn't been able to practice since. While nursing the injured ankle, Langford came down with a severe case of the stomach flu.
"His ankle is just average," Self said. "He kind of tweaked it there at the end of practice, which probably set him back for the rest of the day yesterday, but his ankle moved pretty good but not great. That is a bigger concern to me right now than his health."
The Jayhawks may be able to slip past Friday's game against Bucknell with a less-than-100 percent Langford. But with the delicacy of the team's health right now, Kansas fans should be concerned that any number of awkward falls, flailing bodies or loose elbows could hurt the Jayhawks in the long run.
Health will be the make-orbreak facet of this team.
Roadblocks to redemption
Kansas will need everyone healthy to survive the top-heavy Syracuse bracket as potential match-ups against Connecticut and North Carolina await.
Experience
At this point in the season, all of the top teams in the country have talented players. They all have a coach capable of leading them to the championship.
But there is one thing the Jayhawks have that they believe sets them apart from the rest of the field.
PROFILE
It has been well documented how tournament-tested these four seniors are. With the exception of Oklahoma State, this may be the most experienced group in the country.

Jayhawk basketball alum Jeff Graves ignores critics' jeers
BY FRANK TANKKAR
fiankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Editor's Note: Kansan sportswriter Frank Tankard will profile a former Kansas men's basketball player each day this week, leading up to the Jayhawks' first game on Friday. Each player featured took the court for the Jayhawks sometime during the last four years. This is the third installment of the five-part series. Tomorrow, Tankard will profile former guard Jeff Boschee.
Jeff Graves showed up for the interview 30 minutes late. He apologized as he walked downstairs to the locker room at Johnson County Community College.
A junior college game had just ended, and as players from Labette Community College walked into the locker room fresh off a loss to Johnson County, they gawked at Graves sitting on the ground with his long legs stretched almost completely across the hall.
One player, apparently not remembering the team he just lost to, asked Graves if he played for Johnson County. His teammate gave him a smack on the back as he opened the door to the locker room.
the tool to the toes.
"You fool, that's Jeff Graves," he said,
turning to Graves. "Are you playing these days?"
"Yeah," Graves said.
"Where at?"
"Right here," Graves said. "For the Knights."
"Who?"
Just then a player ran out of the locker room with his cell phone and snapped a picture of Graves. He was followed by a large group of players and the team's coach.
"Everybody says this guy's built just like you, so we wanted to see if he's as big as you," the coach said, pointing to a player who was standing sheepishly in the back of the group and grinning. Graves stood up and approached the player, standing a couple of inches taller than him at 6-foot-9.
"Yeah, we're about the same." Graves said.
Graves is used to the attention. For a man who played only two years at Kansas and averaged only 6.2 points per game, he has gotten a lot of it.
Under fire
Want to write a story on Jeff Graves? The standard method is simple and easy to follow.
Step one: Find someone, a coach or a player, doubting Graves' work ethic — it's not hard.
Step two: Apply these doubts to whatever Graves is doing now.
Everywhere Graves plays there are serious doubts about how hard he tries. Last year he earned the dubious honor of being
the first player Kansas coach Bill Self suspended in 11 years of coaching. The year before, he received attention when former Kansas coach Roy Williams refused to officially recognize him as a member of the team until he got in shape.

Both the Johnny Kilroys and the Seminoles played four intramural basketball games on Sunday and Monday, then played the championship game in Allen Fieldhouse last night.
In baseball it would be called a quadruple-header. In any sport, it would be called exhausting.
The Seminoles didn't win the game as much as they survived it, defeating the defending champion Johnny Kilroys, 45-36.

Jayhawks' Big Dance trip potentially Oscar-worthy
Spielberg couldn't write a script this good.
When the selection committee released the brackets on Sunday, it sure looked like those who made it were looking to enhance the dramatic elements of the NCAA Tournament with a number of meaningful match-ups. Any Kansas fan that has filled out an tournament bracket knows the potential.
PAT SHEHAN pshehan@hansan.com
In an opportunity to take on returning champ Connecticut, you want to be the best and you have to defeat the best.
Depending on the outcome of
North Carolina? Jayhawk seniors have been foaming at the mouth for this opportunity since April 2003.
In Syracuse and Kansas make it to the Final Four, the rematch will ignite viewer's interest. To say this year could be dramatic for the Jayhawks is an understatement. This year has the potential to be the greatest basketball story ever told.
March Madness, the Jayhawks' path to the Final Four could easily be adapted into a screenplay.
In order to make a screenplay successful, a writer needs several elements:
The protagonist
Wayne Simien. Simien is a strong candidate for Player of the Year and possibly the most polished player in the nation. Unlike candidates like J.J. Redick and Chris Paul, it's hard not to like Simien, no matter what school you cheer for. There's a Spanish term, "caudillo," for individuals like Simien. He's magnetic and personable. People flock to him. Simien is this team's hero.
The supporting cast
Aaron Miles, Keith Langford and Christian Moody. Any gang movie has the scene where the hero gets in over his head. Everything looks hopeless. Then the troops roll in. They either save the day or go down swinging. Miles' composure on the court gives the fans faith. Langford is the support that the protagonist cannot do without. His game-tying shots at Texas Tech and Iowa State make him the go-to-guy when the Jayhawks are in a bind. As far as underdogs, the Jayhawks have Christian Moody. When Rudy Ruettiger gets the opportunity to play for the Fighting Irish in the final scene of "Rudy," it's impossible not to get goosebumps. Moody could have felt the same when he got the opportunity to start this season after moving from walk-on to starter. The fans relate to him. They "moo" for him.

breaks down first-round Austin regional bracket
wrence jackson/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Editor's note: Kansan sports-writer Kellis Robinett will examine the four regions in the NCAA Tournament before play starts tomorrow. The following is a breakdown of the Austin regional. Tomorrow, Robinett will dissect the first-round games in the Syracuse regional in his final installment.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski yells during the second half of the ACC men's basketball championship against Georgia Tech Sunday in Washington. Duke won the game and the ACC title, solidifying itself as the top seed in the Austin regional.
No. 1 Duke (25-5) vs. No. 16
Delaware State (19-13)
Delaware State is on an eight-game winning streak, but Duke shouldn't have much to worry about in its first-round match-up. Possible games with Syracuse, Michigan State and Kentucky will be much more intriguing.
No. 8 Stanford (18-12) vs. No. 9 Mississippi State (22-10)
Mississippi State started the year with high expectations but went only 2-8 against tournament teams and ended up a No. 9 seed. Senior forward Lawrence Roberts, who was the 2004 Southeastern Conference
Player of the Year, averages a double-double and can erupt for a big game at any time. Stanford hired Trent Johnson as its new coach before the season and struggled through nonconfer-
ence play. The Cardinal are playing well of late, though, as they have defeated Arizona and Washington.
No. 5 Michigan State (22-10) vs. No. 12 Old Dominion (28-5)
The Spartans have 10 players who average more than 9 minutes a game, but none who average more than 30. They are deep, and if Tom Izzo's bunch can survive Old Dominion it will be well-rested for the second round. Winning in the first round won't be easy, though, because the Monarchs' 28 victories are second to only Illinois.
No. 4 Syracuse (27-6) vs. No. 13 Vermont (24-6)
The Syracuse Orangemen are on a three-game winning streak after winning the Big East Conference Tournament and have national title experience with junior guard Gerry McNamara, who scores 16 points per game, and senior forward Hakim Warrick, who scores 21.4 points per game. Syracuse will face a difficult first round-game against Vermont. The Catamounts are one of the better small schools in the tournament and have the experience of playing at Kansas and North Carolina earlier this year. Coach Tom Brennan also has one of the most versatile inside-outside tandems in the country with
senior forward Tyler Coppenrath, 25.7 points a game, and senior guard T.J. Sorrentine, 18.6 points per game.
No. 6 Utah (27-5) vs. No. 11 Texas-El Paso (27-7)
The Utes are led by sophomore forward Andrew Bogut, whom ESPN named player of the year. The seven-footer averages a double-double and led Utah to an 18-game winning streak earlier in the year. UTEP will make its second straight appearance in the Big Dance after winning the Western Athletic Conference Tournament. The Miners are on a seven-game winning streak and also have a solid forward, senior Omar Thomas, who averages more than 20 points a game.
No. 3 Oklahoma (24-7) vs. N. Niagara (20-9)
The Sooners have one of the best front courts in the tournament with junior forwards Kevin Bookout and Taj Gray. Coach Kelvin Sampson has plenty of postseason experience and will try to lead Oklahoma to another Final Four. Niagara is
No. 7 Cincinnati (24-7) vs. No. 10 Iowa (21-11)
making its first tournament appearance since 1962, but its fast-paced style of basketball could be difficult for Oklahoma to accommodate.
The Bearcats are making their 14th-straight tournament appearance, but lost to every ranked team they played this year. Iowa won some games down the stretch and earned an at-large bid. The Hawkeyes own victories against Louisville, Texas, Texas Tech and Michigan State.
No. 2 Kentucky (25-5) vs. No. 15
Eastern Kentucky (22-8)
The Wildcats won the Southeastern Conference regular season title and are one of the best teams in the tournament as usual. Kentucky lost in the second round of last year's tournament and will be motivated to not let it happen again. Eastern Kentucky is coached by Travis Ford, a former Kentucky guard, and the Colonels want nothing more than to upset the state's most famous school.

Docking's confidence raises him to the top
BY TIM HALL
thall@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Sophomore golfer Tyler Docking has done more than contribute to the Kansas men's golf team. So far this spring, Docking has led the Jayhawks in all three of the team's tournaments.
On March 8, Kansas finished play at the Louisiana Classics Invitational at Oakbourne Country Club in Lafayette, La., only four shots behind tournament champion Southern Methodist. While senior star Kevin Ward struggled with his game, shooting a first-round 75 and a final-round 80, his highest round of the 2004-05 season, Tyler Docking played smoothly as he finished the tournament in a tie for second, two under pan for the tournament.
The second-place finish for Docking was his second straight of the spring. A week earlier the Jayhawks won the Roadrunner Intercollegiate at Oak Hills Country Club in San Antonio for the second straight year. Docking led the Jayhawks, shooting an opening round 69 and a pair of 71s, finishing the tournament in a tie for second.
Kansas coach Ross Randall said he was confident in Docking's ability to lead the team. Randall has given Docking an exempt status for the Jayhawks upcoming tournament in Stevinson, Calif., so he will not have to qualify.
"Tyler has been playing as good as I've ever seen," Randall said. "He has been really fun to watch out there."
Docking has shown much improvement from the fall season. In 15 rounds during the fall season, Docking posted a stroke average of 74.2. Through eight rounds this spring, he is firing a stroke average of 69.8, the lowest on the team. His best finish in the fall season was a tie
for fourth at the Nelson Invitational. After just three events this spring, Docking has topped that twice.
"I have just felt really confident about my swing lately," Docking said. "I'm just trying not to think about it too much and to remember to have fun out there."
Docking's confidence has helped him to become one of the leading golfers in the Big 12 Conference.
now," he said. "It's really fun when I can go out there and hit the ball poorly but still find a way to shoot a 73."
"I just don't have a lot of complaints about my game right
Now that Docking has established himself as a premier golfer on the team, he has only one thing left to do: Win a golf tournament. He will have his opportunity Monday and Tuesday when the Jayhawks travel to California to play in the Stevinson Ranch Intercollegiate.

ROWING
Coxswain calls the shots
JAYHAWK ROWING
BY KRISTEN JARBOE
kjarboe@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kelly Huttsell/KANSAN
Crystal Reed, a member of the Kansas rowing team, graduated last May with a degree in Business Administration and Marketing. Her job was already lined up in Mission for a company called Maxim Health Care Services, working as a recruiter. Reed was all set to move on from college life and college sports.
But she didn't. Her reason for returning to the University if Kansas; rowing.
"I felt I had unfinished business here," she said.
Completing her unfinished business for the team was a huge decision for her. She went back and forth. She wanted to stay, and time was closing in on her to make the decision.
She was supposed to start her job two weeks after her decision to stay. She gave her two-weeks notice without ever setting foot in the office.
She said she was surprised that Maxim commended her on her decision and extended the offer for her. She then started grad school and is currently working on her Masters degree in sports studies. And of course, she is back on the rowing team, loving every minute of it.
"I haven't regretted it," Reed said. "I love still being a part of the team."
As a sophomore, she considered transferring to Southern Mississippi University to be with her boyfriend, and therefore decided to wait on her interest in rowing. Reed continued at Kansas, and soon her junior year was here.
She wasn't part of the team until her junior year. When she first arrived at the University as a freshman, she wanted to try the sport, but was reluctant. As a recipient of the Dan Drake Scholarship, she wanted to put academics first. She said she didn't want to take on too much in her first year.
"My junior year was my one and only chance to do this," she said. "I just decided to try it."
Graduate student Crystal Reed warms up on a rowing machine yesterday afternoon before practice. The rowing team will have its first regatta March 24 in Dallas against Southern Methodist University.
When she went in to talk to the coaches, she was surprised at their comments on her height. Reed is 5-foot-3.
"Since I obviously had never been a rower, I didn't know much about the sport," she said. "I went in there wanting to row, but they recommended me being a coxswain. I kept thinking, they just don't know what I can do."
Reed had been involved in multiple sports growing up, such as basketball, volleyball and track, where she set the 4x800 record at her school. But soon she found out what the coaches were talking about when she saw the varsity team.
"Everyone was so much taller than me," she said. "It was an aspect of rowing I didn't know about. They were definitely tall."
She now enjoys her job as the first-boat coxwain.
"When describing my job, I always tell people I'm a coach and cheerleader at the same time," Reed said. "When we're out on the water, it's not like a coach is right there to call a timeout. I have to re-iterate what the coaches tell us. On the technical side, I need to help the team, but then I need to be there to cheer them on and keep them going."
Reed said she commended
the coaches when they were around. She said assistant coach Jennifer Myers set a good example of how to lead.
"Jen is a fabulous coach. She is always encouraging people. She is definitely one of those coaches that makes you want to do well for her. And she does a great job of establishing that relationship every year with every new team that comes in."
Coach Rob Catloth has made her experience great as well.
"Being a head coach, it's typical that he demands more of us," Reed said. "You always want to prove yourself to him. And he definitely knows how to push us. He knows all the technical things that we need to learn. He knows it's the things that will better our team."
Catloth said he was as excited as Reed about her return.
"She did a really good job last year," Catloth said. "She was right on stride, being a competitive coxswain. It's good that she's using her eligibility."
Catloth said Reed enjoyed the sport, and he liked what she brought to the team.
"You can tell she has a love of the sport," he said. "She is a very competitive person. And she tries to be better all the time. Crystal is one of those people that brings something of her herself to the program."
Rower Kristy Hainer and Reed's relationship goes back to when Reed started on the novice team. The rowing team has a "big sis-little sis" system set up to make the novice team feel more welcome. Hainer was Reed's big sis.
"It's like a support system for the team," Hainer said. "It's nice to have someone there for them when they first start out."
Hainer remembers one of the gifts that Reed gave to her before a race day. Since Hainer is from Ontario, Reed made a cake for her that was decorated half-Canadian and half-Kansas.
"It was such a nice surprise," she said. "She has always been so cute like that."

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
So it was no surprise when this one opened with intense physical play.
The lead swung back and forth for the first half of the game. But as halftime approached, the balance of power swung in the Seminoles and they took an eight-point lead into the break.
Rather than discussing strategy at halftime, the players on both teams used the opportunity to get a drink, sit down and catch their breaths after an exhausting first half.
exhausting in half. The sweat stains only became deeper in the second half, as both teams started playing their best basketball of the night.
"I thought the quality of play was very high," the Seminoles' Dustin Devin, Junction City sophomore, said.
As the quality of play increased, the scoring decreased. Both teams played tight defense and denied opportunities for inside shots.
The hard-nosed defensive play resulted in constant fouls. The Seminoles committed 15 total fouls during the game, only one more than the Johnny Kilroys' 14.
In the first 10 minutes of the second half, the Johnny Kilroys only scored from the free-throw line.
The Seminoles enjoyed the advantage of playing with the lead, and held the scoring even. In the second half, they outscored the Johnny Kilrows by just one point.
Mark Moxley, St. Louis senior, hit a momentum-swinging three-pointer for the Seminoles with 5 minutes to play. It increased the Seminoles' lead to eight and started a 10-to-5 run that put his team on top for good.
"We played with intensity," Seminoles' coach Tyson Moyer, Tulsa, Okla., junior, said. "We stuck together as a team and shared the ball well."
The Seminoles also rebounded well and made the Johnny Kilroys score on their first shot.
The mental fatigue increased by the overwhelming appearance of Allen Fieldhouse, which Seminoles' players said was more intimidating than the backdrop of the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
The Kilroys ended their season with a 6-1-1 record. The Seminoles beat two undefeated teams in as many days and finished the year with a 9-0 record.
Tournament time brought out the best in the Seminoles, who beat opponents by an average of 24 points in bracket play.
The Johnny Kilroys' point total was almost half of their tournament average. In the 45-36 result, both teams scored their fewest points in a game all season.
Even though the Seminoles missed a lot of their shots, they weren't fazed and seemed to enjoy every minute of their victory.
The game may not have had as large a crowd as the women's match-up, but the atmosphere was just as spirited, with fans conversing with the players and the referees throughout the game.

Keep Shooting scores women's title
WOMEN'S INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
J. R. Giddens warmed up the court by knocking down three-point shots. Then Lauren Jenkins did her best impressions of his stroke, knocking down three-pointers and leading Keep Shooting to the women's intramural title.
The team won the game 31-30 by making a shot on the last possession.
It was a game worthy of Allen Fieldhouse, which is where it was played. The players quickly noticed the difference between the wideopen fieldhouse and the smaller Student Recreation Fitness Center.
After Keep Shooting claimed a 12-7 lead early, the Hawks began moving the ball to the outside, with Ashley Glissman, Seneca sophomore, scoring a three-point shot that triggered a 7-0 run.
"It's a whole other game in here," Liz Rinehart, Wellington senior, said.
With halftime approaching, Keep Shooting tightened up its defense and began forcing turnovers on the long passes the Hawks were making. Keep Shooting scored five-straight points to finish off the half.
The game was officiated loosely on both ends, allowing for physical play. There were five jump balls called during the game and numerous other players left the fieldhouse with bumps and bruises.
As the second half began, the Hawks wasted no time proving it belonged, going on a 7-0 run to claim the lead before Keep Shooting was able to shut down their outside game.

+ Megan Glessner, Herington senior
With less than a minute left the press worked and a giant tangle of bodies formed near midcourt. The Hawks emerged with the basketball but had it snatched away by Jamie Schmitz, Lyndon freshman, of Keep Shooting. She drove the court unchallenged and laid in what became the winning basket.
The Hawks had one last challenge in them, and after missing two frantic shots, Jesse Forman, Chicago senior, went up underneath the basket as time expired. Her shot did not fall but she was fouled and went to the line.
Keep Shooting coach Tony Daniels, events coordinator for the Athletics Corporation, quickly yelled for his time-out. His advice for the team?
"Pray the shots don't go in," Lauren Jenkins, St. Louis sophomore, said.
That's exactly what happened, and Keep Shooting won its second consecutive title.
The team has been together, in one form or another, for five years. This is the second time they have entered the KU intramural league.
While the Hawks may have had stretches where they made more
baskets, Keep Shooting dictated the tone of the game, making it a physical battle that relied on rebounding and shot selection.
The team played solid fundamental basketball, including going 5-of-6 at the line.
The season ends for the Hawks with a 4-2 overall record. The team outscored its opponents by a 204-122 combined margin.
Keep Shooting ends its season with a 6-1 record and only three senior players.

COREC INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL
Ligers easily coast to CoRec title
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS

mphillipsSWITTERWIRE
In a battle of "Napoleon Dynamite"-named teams, Your Mom Goes to College will find itself doomed to relive this game in front of a camcorder for the next 20 years.
The Ligers proved why they were dominant during the regular season and claimed the CoRec title with a 91-53 victory against Your Mom Goes to College last night.
Unlike the men's and women's finals, the referees were able to sit back and enjoy the show in this one. The teams spread the field and created plenty of shots with a fast-paced style of play.
By halftime, the Ligers were already well on their way to victory with a 43-23 lead.
"We just spread the ball around and made sure everybody got some shots," Grant Creighton, Enlewood. Colo., senior, said.
Creighton was able to dunk the ball in the first half and had the ball swatted away on a similar attempt in the second half.
During the entire season, the Ligers outscored their competition by a combined 630-326.
In the second half, Ellie Larson, Westwood junior, led her team on a 15-2 scoring run in just 2 minutes of continuous play.
"I give credit to the boys." Larson said. "They do a great job of getting rebounds and passing us the ball."
In CoRec basketball, girls' baskets count one point more than boys' baskets.
"The girls have done a great job making their shots," Creighton said. "They probably score half of our points."
That gave the Ligers an advantage: Of the seven team members at the game, four were girls.
It was the first year playing together for the Ligers, and it will most likely be the last as a number of players on the team are seniors. Most team members are enrolled in the School of Business, and the men of the group play under the business-inspired
For Your Mom Goes to College, only two of the seven players were female, and they stayed on the court for the entire game.
name "Teloitte & Douche, L.L.P."
"We are all good friends, so we know each other's style," Creighton said. Both teams were 7-0 going into the game. For Your Mom Goes to College, it was the third game in the past two days.
The Ligers didn't have to sweat out a finish at any point during the tournament. They won every game by at least 10 points.
They enjoyed playing this game in Allen Fieldhouse. The wide-open space played into their style of spreading the field and outrunning the competition.
"It was a lot harder to get across the court," Larson said. "Everything seemed to be farther away."
If the Ligers were tired, they did not show it on the court. They continued to run the length of the court, even in the final minutes.
As the clock would down, the crowd began the "Rock Chalk, lavhawk" chant for the Ligers.
The remaining intramural finals will be played at 7 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.

Missouri toppled by DePaul in NIT
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Drake Diener scored a career-high 30 points and tied his career best with seven three-point shots, leading DePaul to a 75-70 victory against Missouri in the first round of the NIT last night.
Quemont Greer added 17 points and Draelon Burns had six assists for the Blue Demons, 20-10, who dropped to the NIT after losing three of the last four regular-season games. DePaul will play the winner of Clemson vs. Texas A&M in the second round.
Linas Kleiza had 23 points and Thomas Gardner 17 for Missouri, 16-17, which had a losing season for the first time since it also was 16-17 in 1996-97. The Tigers have been in the postseason eight straight seasons but the last two they've lost in the first round of the NIT.
Diener, who averages 13.6 points and is a 45 percent shooter from three-point range, was 7-for-11 from long range and was the only DePaul player with a three-point shot. He was at his best at the end, scoring DePaul's final seven points in the last 1:50. That included a tip-in by the 6-
foot-5 guard with 20 seconds to go for a 73-70 lead.
Diener was 11-for-15 overall, topping his previous career best of 28 points against Dayton on March 18, 2004. He hit seven three-point shots for the second time in his career. He also had that many at Charlotte on Feb. 16.
Missouri kept it close despite going almost 7 1/2 minutes between baskets in the second half and shooting 39.7 percent for the game. The Tigers hurt themselves with errant three-point shooting, going 6-for-25.
Missouri finished 14-5 in its first season at the new Mizzou Arena. The game drew 5,997 people, the lowest of the season.
Diener had four three-point shots and 16 points in the first half to help DePaul take a 41-38 lead. DePaul appeared to have taken control with a 19-6 run that put the Blue Demons ahead 35-25 with 4:42 to go in the first half, but Missouri scored the next nine points.
L. G. Patterson/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DePaul shot 49 percent but had trouble shaking Missouri. The Blue Demons' biggest lead in the second half was five points.

Checkup
What is not as well documented is how much the seniors have helped freshmen Alex Galindo, Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson and C.J. Giles adjust to the college game.
Galindo said early in the year he felt opportunity just slipping away. He was injured. He couldn't practice. It was the most frustrating time of the year for him, he said.
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Then Mike Lee came and talked with him.
"He told me 'everybody goes through that, I went through that,'" Galindo said. "I am thankful that he said to that me. It helped me keep a good attitude."
Having four experienced leaders can bring more to a team than just talent. It is something that coaches
can't coach. It could be the ingredient in the Jayhawks' mix that sets them apart from other teams.
"It helps build your confidence," he said. "Knowing that somebody is there for you always and knowing somebody is going to have your back."
Gaiindo said it has been one of the most important factors in grooming the freshmen.
Experience is the building block of the Jayhawks. It can only help them.
Execution
After Kansas lost to Oklahoma State Saturday, some of the players mentioned that one of the reasons for the loss was because they didn't execute the little things. Sure they had played some of their best basketball in weeks, but the lack of attention to detail is something that
could hurt Kansas in the one-loss-andyou're-out system of the NCAA Tournament.
But what exactly are the little things?
"We have to focus on rebounding, we have to make free throws and we have to guard as a team," Lee said.
Self said Lee was more intense on Monday, calling out players for not doing the little things.
"I talk about the little things all the time." Self said.
Take Saturday's game against Oklahoma State for example. With just a few seconds left in the game and trailing by one point, the Jayhawks had to foul. But Self told them not to foul Oklahoma State's Joey Graham, who led the Big 12 in free throw percentage.
Kansas fouled Graham, he went to the line and nailed them both.
needs to be more aware of being at the right place at the right time, especially in the game's final minutes.
"When we trap the post, whether our rotations are right or it costs us five points late in the game. It could be late in the game not denying certain players the ball and letting their best players shoot the free throws..." Self went on.
Defensively, Self said his team
It's difficult to watch a game and see beyond points and rebounds. But those little things are what killed the Jayhawks against the Cowboys and they could be the difference in winning or losing in the NCAA Tournament.
When the game comes down to the final seconds, the Jayhawks will have to do a better job with the little things than they did on Saturday.
MLB
Cubs defeat Royals despite solid outing from pitcher
MESA, Ariz. — Corey Patterson hit a two-run singl during a six-run fourth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Kansas City Royals 6-1 yesterday.
Cubs starter Sergio Mitre pitched three innings and gave up four hits and one run. Mitre, trying to make the club as the fifth starter or a reliever, walked three and struck out one.
Edited by Nikola Rowe
Derrek Lee and Todd Hollandsworth each had a run-scoring single in the fourth. Chicago's outburst came against reliever Chris George, who gave up six hits in one-third of an inning.
—The Associated Press
"I struggled with command a little bit," Mitre said. "I just need to stay on top of the ball a little bit better."
The Royals took a 1-0 lead in the third inning. Eli Marrero doubled with one out and scored on a single to right by Ken Harvey.
Kansas City got a good effort from starting pitcher Mike Wood, who worked three scoreless innings, giving up one hit. He struck out five without walking a batter.
Shehan
CONTINUED FROM 1B
The antagonist
Not to overlook the first two games, but a possible Elite Eight matchup with North Carolina presents an epic storyline that only the most ridiculous writer could create. In the movie "Kill Bill" (sorry coach Self), The Bride desperately seeks the opportunity to fight her teacher and her nemesis, Bill. The mentor-pupil relationship between Roy Williams and the remaining Jayhawks from the 2003 team still looms in students' and fans' minds. The Jayhawks want the opportunity to show how far they've come without their former coach.
In the movie, "Gladiator," Maximus must defeat some of Rome's greatest warriors before getting a shot at his nemesis, Commodus. Syracuse and UConn, two former Champions, provide suitable nemeses for the Jayhawks in their bid for a title.
Most basketball analysts have eliminated the Jayhawks as candidates for a title, which could be the greatest thing to happen to this team.
"Hoosiers." "Gladiator." "Rocky."
The recurring theme in all of these films is the low expectation of the heroes.
The Jayhawks have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. During the next two weeks, college basketball could reveal the greatest sports story to date.
It's up to the Jayhawks to determine their role.
Shehan is a Denver sophomore in journalism.

Roadblock
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
Perhaps there's an alternate story. It's the story of a guy who shows up late, comes up with steals, fouls out way too much, racks up assists, harasses referees and spends hours in the gym. He does all these things, good and bad, without apology.
Roadblocks
Jeff Graves is who he is.
Graves got off to a bad start with the local media and Roy Williams when he reported overweight for prescason training after a serious car wreck two-and-a-half years ago.
Sharon Graves, Jeff's mother, remembers picking up the phone in the middle of the night and hearing a hospital worker say that her boy's head had been hurt in a highway accident.
It was early September 2002, about a month before practice would start, and Graves had been riding passenger side in his friend's souped-up Chrysler 300M as they cruised at 110 mph on 1-435.
He remembers his friend losing control of the car, which spun out of control, and banging into the median guard rail. When Graves woke up, the car lay on the median, and he was in the back seat. As he staggered out, a semi-truck whizzed by within inches of his body.
His head had been bumped during the accident, causing
Graves to drift in and out of consciousness. He spent the next two weeks lying in bed at home in Lee's Summit, Mo. His thoughts were unclear, and he kept having nightmares about the accident and waking upside-down in bed.
When he returned to Kansas, Roy Williams publicly criticized him for showing up out of shape, reportedly at 293 pounds, and refused to recognize him as an official member of the team until he could finish six and a half laps around a track in 12 minutes as his teammates had done.
Graves grew frustrated with the negative press Williams created. While the coach was telling reporters that Graves couldn't keep up with his teammates, Graves was in the gym.
"He was asking me to lose like 50 or 60 pounds in a month," he said. "I was working out six times a day, and eventually I did lose the weight. Why didn't people look at that?"
Williams said at the time that he was being hard on Graves in order to motivate him. It must have worked.
"What drove me was the negative stuff," Graves said. "It gave my engine a little more gas to it. I learned that everything's not going to be given to you. I know who I am, and it was up to me to prove everybody wrong."
But Graves also let Williams's treatment hurt him.
"I didn't have a lot of confidence in myself," he said. "I don't think he believed in me like he believed in everyone else."
“J.
Jeff always had a good attitude. He was just a little irresponsible at times. But I've always liked Jeff."
Bill Self
Kansas basketball coach
In mid-February, Graves was shaken once again when one of his high school buddies shot himself in the head while playing with a gun.
ing with a glint. "That was pretty depressing," he said. "Especially for that to happen on top of the pressure of playing at a big-time program."
Sharon Graves talked to her son every day after his friend's accident, comforting him.
accident, someone hit "It hit him to his core," she said. "When you're already kind of down, and you get something like that happen to you, unless you've got a lot a support going on, it's tough."
Graves rebounded in time for the NCAA Tournament and played some of the best basketball of his life, capped off with a commanding 16-point, 16-rebound performance in the national championship loss to Syracuse.
"All the adversity, all the booing, all the poo-pah about his appearance, his tats, hair it was wild," Sharon Graves said. "But I'm glad he stood his ground.
He stayed Jeff. He was himself and he didn't try to let everybody else mold him. And he still played ball well."
Fortunately the next season went smoother outside of basketball. But on the team, Graves encountered more problems.
He first ran into trouble with new coach Bill Self when he overslept and missed a practice in December. Self suspended him from the team, forcing him to miss the Oregon game. Then in February, Self benched Graves again when the team traveled to Nebraska, saying that Graves hadn't been practicing hard.
But Graves didn't let the problems affect his confidence as he had before. And he respected the way Self handled the situation without publicly criticizing him, as Williams had.
"I liked coach Self a little more than Roy Williams," he said. "Self was a real down-to-earth kind of guy."
Graves finished the season with another strong performance in the NCAA Tournament, scoring in double-digits in two of the team's four tournament games.
Moving forward
Today, aside from the occasional "where are they now" story, Graves is out of the limelight, just starting down the path many former college players have already traveled.
Whatever happens to those players who don't make the NBA? Some become drifters, traveling from city to small town
to play in front of a couple hundred fans, hoping someone will notice. There's little glory in it
This could be the reality Graves is starting to face. So far less than a year after graduating from the Kansas basketball team, he's already played for two teams in two leagues; the Salina Cagerz of the United States Basketball League and the Kansas City Knights of the American Basketball Association.
But Graves hopes things go a different way. After the Knights' season ended with a playoff loss in Mississippi on Saturday, he decided to take some time off while he figures out what to do next. He's looking for an agent and hoping for a late-season call-up from the NBA. He says the Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic have expressed interest in him.
If that doesn't pan out, he says he might go overseas for a couple of months. Some of those teams pay pretty well, plus chilling in Europe for a while couldn't be too bad, he said.
No apologies
Wherever Graves goes next, it will probably be far from his fan base in Kansas. When Knights fans paid $10 to have their picture taken with their favorite players after a recent game, Graves had more photo requests, mostly from kids decked out in KU gear, than the rest of the team combined.
After the line dissipated, the large group of family and
friends who had come to watch him and his older brother, Robby, play for the Knights stuck around to congratulate him on the team's victory. He said hello to his dad and picked up Robby's two-year-old son, Jaden, lifting him high in the air. A reporter interviewed Sharon Graves in the bleachers. Jeff had said he'd also answer a few questions after the game. After he disappeared to the locker room, the reporter waited on the court until the custodians came, but Graves never showed.
The reporter left and reeled off a story in which he tried to get inside Graves' head, hoping to understand him. Earlier Graves had the media always doing that to him.
"I know people keep trying to put their worthless two cents in," he said. "These people obviously don't know me."
Perhaps all that can really be said is that there's something unique about him that makes people interested. Maybe it's the comrows, or it could be the suspensions. Perhaps it's the way he bangs his body on the court.
But it's more than any of that. There's something just plain likable about the guy, which is why it hurts when he messes up. Most the people who know him feel the same way Bill Self does.
"Jeff always had a good attitude. He was just a little irresponsible at times," he said. "But I've always liked Jeff."

Moving into an apartment requires patience
BY BAILEY DERUS
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
If you are moving into your first apartment, the last thing on your mind is who owns the place. Once you get the lease signed — after checking it with Legal Services for Students — you would probably expect to never see the landlord again. Unless your rent is late.
Here is the catch. Things can, and usually do, go wrong in apartments. The bathtub might not work, the toilet might not flush or the dryer might catch your clothes on fire. It has happened.
While landlords are required by landlord/tenant laws to keep the basics, such as the toilet and sinks, in working order. If they know you and recognize you, they're more likely to make sure it gets done efficiently.
"Keep an open line of communication," Michelle Luna, Shawnee sophomore, said. "If they like you, they're more likely to help you when something goes wrong."
When moving in to an apartment in August, remember, that is the time when most college students are moving in. That's usually when things go wrong. You find out the closet doors do not stay on the track or the dishwasher is
not actually washing dishes.
In the first few weeks, after filling out a repair request form, there is one thing you must do: Be patient.
If you find a few things wrong in the apartment, there are probably a handful of things that need to be fixed in every other apartment. As long as the repair wait is not keeping you from being clean, it will be fine if it takes a few days.
mays.
"I would report problems that come up as soon as possible," said Nguyet Nguyen, Shawnee senior.
According to the Off-Campus Living Resource Center, Lawrence has a list of requirements that deem
an apartment or house livable. The list includes a working lock, stairs in good condition and a railing wherever there are more than four stairs and a water heater cannot be in a bathroom or bedroom. Overall, there are about 50 guidelines set by the city of Lawrence.
The resource center also recommends creating a "Move-in Checklist," which should be completed within a week after you move in. Take note of damages already present in the apartment so you do not lose part or all of your security deposit after you move out. Taking pictures of especially significant
damages is recommended.
In keeping communication with the management company with which you have a lease,you are entitled to contact information of both the manager of the specific apartment and the owner of the company. It is a good idea to have a list of contact numbers for specific incidents that occur outside of business hours,such as a locksmith or plumber.

House of headaches Legal Services for Students provides help for new tenants
By CHARISSA YOUNG correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Imagine living in an apartment for weeks with stinking, sooping-wet carpet caused by a sewer backup. You complain to the apartment's management, and a maintenance man arrives days later to clean up with just a house fan and a can of Lysol.
Delia Kimbrell, Wichita junior faced this situation last year while living in North Wind Apartments located on Second and Michigan streets. Unsatisfied with the apartment's maintenance job, she requested for a professional to clean her carpet. The apartment complex sent her the bill.
"My roommate and I were just sophomores, and this was the first time we'd lived on our own like that. We didn't know what to do," she said.
Kimbrell did not think she should be the one to pay the bill. After seeking advice from both KU Legal Services for Students and her roommate's cousin, who was a lawyer, Kimbrell said that she learned that North Winds was not providing the
safe, sanitary environment that the Landlord and Tenant Act guaranteed her. Kimbrell said that she was able to get North Winds to admit its fault and pay the bill, but she did not receive all of her deposit money back upon moving out. Kimbrell said she left the apartment cleaner than when she first moved in.
"We left it alone. Normally, I'm not a person to give up, but I was exhausted. It was a never-ending nightmare with these people," Kimbrell said.
Jo Hardesty, director of Legal Services for Students, said that landlord-tenant complaints constituted about 15 to 20 percent of its business. Among the most common problems students have are not receiving security deposit refunds, maintenance issues and breaking leases, Hardesty said.

one lease for lawn maintenance and ambiguous phrasing about who was responsible for damages to the walls in the house.
Hardesty knows students often want to sign a lease on the spot because they are excited or the landlord is making a hard sell, she said, but she recommends that all students carefully read their leases before signing.
"I know it's been said before, but it's always better to be safe than sorry," she said.
Students can make appointments in with Legal Services for Students to discuss personal tenant-landlord problems. Because Legal Services for Students is funded by a portion of the required campus fees, all students are entitled to free services.
Before you sign your lease
See the actual residence, not just the model housing. You have a right to see the condition of the residence. If the residence is currently occupied, the landlord only needs to notify the current tenants before being able to show it to you.
Make sure application fees are refundable if you don't end up signing a lease with the place in question. If you do sign the lease, see that the application fee applies to the first month's rent.
- Before signing a lease, take a copy of it, and ask for the "Rules and Regulations," usually a 10-page document in addition to the lease. Often when you sign a lease, you are agreeing to these rules and regulations, but the document is not always included.
- Look for an automatic renewal clause in the lease. If there is one, you must let your landlord know by the date specified in the lease, or the lease will be automatically renewed for the following year.
◆ Check the sublease policy. Many leases will not allow you to sublease your residence
without the landlord's permission. Keep in mind that when someone subleases from you, you're responsible for the person living there unless that person is put onto a new lease.
Choose your roommates wisely and discuss noise, guests and food issues before moving in together. Most contracts are joint leases, meaning you are responsible for your roommates if they don't pay rent. Some landlords offer separate leases, such as Jefferson Commons, but be aware that the landlord can replace tenants at their choosing.
♦ Really do the check-in routine.
Really do the cracks in Photograph or videotape any damages in the residence prior to moving in. By documenting these damages, you can prevent being charged for those damages when you move out.
- Remember: Always ask to negotiate the details of a lease, regardless if you're working with mom-and-pop landlords or a complex's management.

House parties need planning, booze
HUCKY
BY JAMES FOLEY
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
KU students collaborated for several classic key stands last semester at 13th and Ohio streets. Though students love to party, neighbors have growing conems about the noise, trash and property damage that is associated with house parties. When throwing a party, be conscientious about neighbors. Stephanie Craig, Delta Force vice presidential candidate, suggests inviting all your neighbors to your party so they know it's coming.
So, you're finally living on your own. You can walk around naked. You can eat nothing but cereal and ice cream. Hell, you can even throw a party.
Throwing a party can be a blast. What's more fun that spending an evening with your friends drinking, dancing and having a ball? There are, however, plenty of things that can go wrong. That is why it's important to prepare and plan, so that mass chaos doesn't break out, turning your amazing evening into a nightmare.
There is quite a bit to keep in mind in order to have a successful party. Perhaps the most essential thing is planning. How big do you want it to be? Will you be providing alcohol? If so, what kind and how much? Do you know what to do if the police show up? Are you going to trust a bunch of strangers around your valuables? You need to have answers to all of these questions so that you can prevent things from going wrong.
If you want people to come to your party, you need to spread the word at least a week in advance. Billy Bernardo, Lakeville, Minn., senior, said that if you were trying to get something going for Saturday night, and it was Friday, no one was going to come.
"You have to sell it to people. You want them to choose your party over a bar," Bernardo said.
To keep most partygoers happy, good music and good drinks are a must. Gibson said selecting music that appealed to the masses and was easy to dance to.
"Pick songs that everybody likes, not just you," Gibson said.
it's also a good idea to offer more than a key of cheap beer to your guests. Bernardo said the key to a successful party was a
coming variety of alcohol. He suggested jungle juice, a fruity punch usually spiked with vodka, as a good addition to the standard kee of beer.
If you are planning something epic, Delta Force vice presidential candidate Stephanie Craig suggested having a large space for a dance floor. She also suggested inviting all of your neighbors so that they would know ahead of time about the party.
If your party gets too loud or too big, the police will inevitably show up. According to the Lawrence Police Department's Web site, it is against the law to participate in a party that is excessively noisy. If the police do
show up, be very nice, they just want people to leave. Craig said.
The Web site states that police officers can order everyone at the party to leave "in lieu of being charged."
Craig also suggested taking anything valuable and locking it in your bedroom prior to your party.
"If your door doesn't lock, put a couch in front of it," Craig said.
As long as you plan everything out, your party will run smoothly. Once your plans are set, put on your best dancing shoes and get ready to have a good time.

Nesting by the nose

KNIGHT RIDDER NEWPAPERS
VIA KRT CAMPUS
Creating a great home, everyone knows, is about color, space and light. It's about choosing the right furniture, fabrics and accents.
But more and more, people are using fragrance to evoke experience, express individuality, and set the right mood in their homes.
It's not only a question of personal style. A growing body of research tells us that pleasant scents can make us happier, relaxed and more alert.
"There are about 86 active studies validating the effect of odors on mood states," says Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and the director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Center in Chicago. He has studied how odors can aid perception of room size, aid learning and
arousal, and reduce the desire to eat

"I think we are just on the cusp of what is going to be a huge trend to ward using smells functionally in the home.

Already, says Terry Molnar of the Sense of Smell Institute, which funds olfaction research and educates the public about scent, researchers are working on fragrance-infused fabrics for home decor.
"The technology is there to microencapsulate fragrance into fabric, so that every time you open your drapes you will get a whiff of scent," Molnar says.
For now, the growing ranks of the scent-conscious are snapping up candles, room sprayes, and plug-ins that diffuse fragrant oils and solids. According to the Consumer Specialty Products Association, whose air-care division represents more than 200 companies, including the makers of Glade, Renuzit and Airwick air fresheners, home fragrance products brought in $2.7 billion in sales in 2004. That's projected to increase to $3.6 billion in 2006.
"There has been significant growth in recent years as the type of product has changed along with consumer demand," said association spokesman Bill Lafield.
Not only have the scents themselves changed, so have the delivery systems. Among the new products: a revamped version of Glade PlugIns that allows consumers to customize scents. And Proctor & Gamble's ScentStories, introduced last year. The device "plays" disks that cycle through five scents meant to evoke experiences such as "Relaxing in a Hammock" and "Exploring a Mountain Trail."
And then there is the burgeoning high-end home fragrance market, with consumers shelling out for $38 bottles of Cucina kitchen spray, in scents of fig and fresh herbs or ginger and Sicilian lemon, and $76 flasks of Alora Ambiance air freshener.
The latter, touted by Oprah Winfrey

in "O" magazine, comes with bamboo sticks that act as wicking devices for the fragrances. Among them: gardenia and tuberose, and a muguet, lemon and sandalwood combo.
But the biggest phenomenon in this pricey realm is essential-oil-scented cleaning products. The category, pioneered by the Good Home Co. and Caldrea, which makes proprietary brands for Williams-Sonoma, includes products for home and laundry — fabric softener, detergent, dish soap, cleanser, stainless-steel spray — all in exotic scents of green tea patchouli, cucumber mint or lemongrass.
Though sales figures are not available for this segment of the industry, the Good Home Co. claims more than $4 million in sales last year.
And a Caldrea representative says that, since the company's launch in 2000, it has sold more than eight million of its products. They come in six different aromas, with names that sound more like health foods than cleaning fluids — "energetic" Citrus Mint Ylang Ylang and "enlivening" White Tea.
"People are stressed out and multitasking," says Molnar, of the Sense of Smell Institute in New York. "They don't just want to wash the dishes. They want it to relax them, too."

In bachelor pads, chic replaces cheap
Every guy who is single is aware of the rules of early bachelor living — thou shalt have at least one piece of homemade furniture, thou shalt use any available floor space as overflow closet, thou shalt mount an animal head on the wall, and thou shalt recycle pizza boxes as place mats.
But single guys also know - or should know, anyway - that when college or trade school ends and gainful employment begins those rules go out the window, along with the moose head and the pizza boxes.
and the pizza boxes.
But since the odds these days are that bachelors will remain so longer than in the past, it's imperative that they live well now instead of waiting until they are married or settled down, experts say.
"The life cycle of the bachelor is getting longer," says James Heidenry, executive editor of the men's magazine "Maxim." "Men are waiting to get married now, especially on the coasts. ... So it is worth taking the extra time to make sure you are living in the right setting."
The keys to living right? Paying attention to style, location, practicality, entertainment and comfort, Heidenry says.
Milwaukeean Chad Curran, 30, seems to have captured all five of those elements in his sophisticated and design-savvy bachelor pad.
For Curran, manager of an automotive dealership, outfitting his 1,900 square-foot condo in the old Nelson Brothers Furniture building downtown was a labor of love.
All the condos in the building are loft style with hardwood floors, exposed duct work and original Cream City brick. "I decorated my condo with a lot of different prints. Most of them have a party or automotive theme to them," he says. "I have a pretty cool martini print above my bar/wine rack that seems to evoke a lot of conversation and gets everyone in a good mood."
Curran got outside advice when decorating and outfitting his place. Look and space were more important to him than the latest gadget ... except, of course for a good dishwasher and washer/dryer set.
"I have found that as I get older, the ability to have a good place to entertain is more important than having the loudest stereo," he explains. "My condo is very open and can — and does — comfortably entertain 75 people.

"Don't be afraid to ask for advice," he says. "Bottom line: You pay the bills and have to live in it."

Scotti, who lives in a small apartment in Queens, N.Y., recently added a Murphy bed that when folded acts as a shelf and mini-bar on its backside and frees up more than 80 percent of his floor space.
Buy furniture that doubles as storage space. Scotti has a leather-topped wooden bench that can provide seating or serve as a coffee table.

Replace clunky furniture — the kind you bought right after college — with large Japanese style sitting-pillows or several small square ottomans. They create a bohemian look.

for, older kids will always say the same thing: "The food is terrible but it's more of a social thing for freshmen." So we know going in that the food sucks! It's like we're saying, "Hey mom, I'm going away to college but I don't really know anyone. So, could you throw me a few thousand dollars? It's for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and some friends."
Are you good with names? I forget them as soon as I hear them. Might as well not tell me at all! I have no idea what anyone's names are except my own, the kids I went to high school with, and that one hot girl who I have never spoken to but stalk from afar.
My friend Dan, like me, has no idea how to do laundry. One day, he's out of underwear, the girl down the hall won't do it for him anymore and he's desperate. So he decides to give it a try. He goes down to laundry room in the basement of the dorm and tries to figure it out. He puts his clothes in the machine, puts the detergent in, puts some quarters in, but the thing is not working. He tries everything but it's just not happening. Completely bewildered, he sees a little red help button right next to the machine and presses it.
Unfortunately, it was the emergency alarm. Sirens in the dorm start blaring, red lights are flashing everywhere, cops are on the scene in minutes and my friend has to sneak back to his room amid all this chaos wearing only a towel. He never did his own laundry again.
On small dorm rooms
When winter comes around bringing increasingly cold weather and increasingly packed frat parties, students become faced with the paradox of clothing. If you dress warmly for the walk to the party, you'll sweat to death inside the frat. But if you dress lighter, you'll freeze to death before you even make it in. So really the question is, before you die, wouldn't you rather have a couple of beers first?
do that! I literally had to velcor my TV remote control to the wall because there was no place to put it.
beers first?
Have you ever noticed that in every TV show and movie made about college the dorm rooms are huge? Kids are throwing parties in there, they have couches, its ridiculous. Let's set this straight once and for all: College kids live in what amounts to a glorified closet. We have to put our beds on cinderblocks just to have room for our clothes. Prisoners don't even have to
Still, you know what the great thing about college dorms is? If you're lucky enough to have your own bathroom — or for guys, a sink will do — it's the only time in your life when you will have every necessary amenity in one room. You can have a bed, TV, toilet, refrigerator and desk all within five feet of each other. I'm so lazy that I went out and bought a nice chair chair on wheels. By the end of the semester I didn't even get up anymore, I just swiveled and rolled.
No matter how small your dorm room is, though, it is where you will have some of your best college moments. It's where you will pregame with your best friends. It's where you will boot when you've had one tequila shot too many. It's where you will fight with your roommate about his terrible taste in music. And it is where you will hook up with the girl down the hall and then try to avoid seeing her for the rest of the semester. And by the time you move out of the dorm you'll realize, for a tiny room, you really got a lot of use out of it.
School pays cash, students clean up act for dorm tours

KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS
VIA KRT CAMPUS
DETROIT—Aaron Bennick's room is clean.
While that may seem unusual for a 19-year-old college student, Bennick is paid cold, hard cash to motivate him to keep it that way.
Bennick and his University of Michigan roommate, Eric Romain, are receiving $100 apiece this semester to let prospective students and their parents take a look at their West Quad dorm room three days a week.
The sophomore engineering majors are among 18 students in nine residence halls participating in the Michigan Campus Day tour program, according to Randi Johnson, U-M housing outreach coordinator. The tours include lunch at a residence hall and a peek inside a typical dorm room on the Ann Arbor campus.
The rules for U-M students participating in the program are pretty simple.
pretty simple.
They must be dressed and out of bed, if they are home, and allow the tour groups to see their room from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, Johnson said. Technically, a clean room isn't required, but the occupants can't display anything that's illegal, banned — like hot plates — or offensive.
their rooms because they know people are coming," Johnson said. "Parents are used to seeing rooms at home that are not perfectly clean. But I tell parents they may see things in the residence hall they will not see at home, although we have not had complaints about anything outrageous."
U-M is beginning a 10-year, $280 million renovation of its 15 aging residence halls, which house nearly 10,000 students, mostly undergraduates. The newest hall, Bursley Hall on UM's North Campus, was completed in 1968. Officials plan to open a new $138 million, 500-bed hall in 2008 that also will feature classrooms and community space.
Bennick and Romain have arranged their loft beds to fit over the desks in their fifth-floor West Quad double room. On a noontime visit last week, their blue rug was free of stains and crumbs.
A clean beige love seat with light-blue accent pillows faced a television, two refrigerators and a bookcase filled with laundry supplies and food.
know a group is coming, clean off the desks and get things off the floor."
"Last semester, the room was not as neat," conceded Bennick, who is from Saginaw, Mich. "My dad asked me if I was sure I was going to be able to do this. We pick up if we
Clothes were actually hanging in the closets, the doors of which were closed. The beds, however, were not made.
The room passed muster with Clark Iverson, 44, of Royal Oak, Mich., who was on the Friday tour with his son, Geoffrey, 18, a senior at Royal Oak Dondoer High School who has been admitted to U-M.
"It's cleaner than a 15-year-old's room," Clark Iverson noted.
Johnson said no one has ever been thrown out of the campus tour program for having an unacceptable room.
But apparently, not everyone can get in.
"We applied to be part of the program, but we never got a reply," said Natalie Wowk, 19, a
sophomore from Sterling Heights, Mich.
"They probably thought no amount of money could improve this room," joked her roommate, Adele Coehlo, 19, a sophomore from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
Coehlo's and Wowk's West Quad room, not far from Bennick's, has Christmas lights strung around the perimeter, clothes piled on the bunk beds, a futon and a papasan chair in the middle of the room. Toiletries covered both desks, and the beds were unmade.
"Our room is a little messier than the average room," Coehl admitted. "The more comfortable I am with roommates, the messier I am."

Close-nit scholarship hall system unique in area universities
BY KNIRKRIL DUENSING

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Jalie Holborow, a St. Louis sophomore, and Jade Martens, a Salina sophomore, both exit their campus residence, Margaraet Amini Scholarship Hall. Both they enjoy the living arrangement and were elected social chairs for the hall.
A sign hanging in the foyer of Margaret Amiini Scholarship Hall reads, "Margaret Amiini: A Home Away From Home." Past this facade is a close-knit family of 50 women living in suites who never have to shop for groceries or pay monthly bills.
These women are among the 500 residents of the scholarship hall system at the University of Kansas. "Schol Hall Land" spreads from Lilac Lane behind Fraser Hall to the 13th block of Louisiana Street. This small community offers an array of opportunities and benefits for academically-focused students.
Many KU students know little about the scholarship halls outside the fact that their residents take up parking spaces around The Wheel or the stereotype that they are all just a bunch of nerds. But the halls residents have a different perspective.
"The scholarship halls are the best kept secret at KU," Anne Kretsinger, Emporia freshman said.
Kreisinger, Emily Haree
According to the All
Scholarship Hall Council Web site, Schol Hall Land began way back in 1926 with the gift of Watkins Scholarship Hall from Elizabeth Miller Watkins. Miller and Battenfeld scholarship halls opened in 1937 and 1940. The 1950s added Pearson, Sellards, Stephenson, Douthart and Grace Pearson scholarship halls. K.K. Amini and Margaret Amini halls were added in 1992 and 2000. The newest addition to the system, Rieger Scholarship Hall, will open its doors to 50 women this fall.
The University is unique for its flourishing scholarship hall system.
Julie Holborow, a said they enjoy the living arrangement Boasting its soon-to-be-11 scholarship halls, the University's system surpasses that of many other schools. Kansas State has only two scholarship halls, while most other universities, including Missouri, have none at all.
So what makes Schol Hall Land so desirable?
so designate.
"There are so many benefits of living here," said Becca Evanhoe, all scholarship hall council president. Topping Evanhoe's list is the location.
"The women of Miller and Watkins are the only students at KU who don't have to walk a hill to get
to class every day," she said.
Evanhoe also pointed out the financial convenience of the halls. She said it's about $1,000 cheaper than living in a residence hall, and scholarship hall residents don't have to pay monthly bills. "We don't even have to go out and buy toilet paper!" she said.

Ali Bannwarth, ASHC social chairwoman and Independence junior,

One of the unique aspects of the scholarship halls, and the reason they are so affordable, is the weekly shifts performed by residents. An average of five hours a week is dedicated to cleaning, cooking and/or phone duty for most hall residents.

How to...
Unclog a Toilet
1. Once you notice there's a problem, big or small, use the toilet as little as possible. This will help prevent overflow and water damage, which can be costly.
2. Insert a plunger into the toilet, making sure the rubber globe, or cup, is fully seated over the drain opening.
3. Push down on the plunger handle with firm but careful strokes. Rough, careless use can damage the toilet bowl. If the clog isn't too tight, these bursts of increased water
pressure will probably clear the obstruction.
4. Consider a drain cleaner only as a last resort. Make sure that any product you use is specifically marked as safe for use with porcelain, and follow the manufacturer's directions carefully. Never mix any of these chemical agents, as dangerous reactions could occur.
5. Flush the toilet several times to remove the drain cleaner and to check the flow.
Treat a Spill on a
Keyboard
2. Place keyboard upside-down on an absorbent cloth.
3. Leave overnight.
4. Dry with a hair dryer
5. Plug it in and test it.
De-Stinkify
1. Unplug keyboard.
a Refrigerator
1. Empty fridge.
1. Empty cups.
2. Spread baking soda in shallow pans and leave in fridge overnight.
3. If small persists, let fridge air out and repeat.

Admittedly, this guide does not cover the many great privately-owned rental properties in Lawrence. Rather than single out several of them we decided to focus on the many commercially-owned, student-frequented apartment complexes that Lawrence has to offer. Hopefully the tips offered here will help all students transitioning to life off campus, whether in a privately- or commercially-owned apartment complex or house.

Reese Witherspoon portrays Elle Woods, a stereotypical sorority girl in "Legally Blonde." Movies such as this give a sometimes false perception of what it's like to actually live in a sorority. "It's hard to adjust at first," Emily Quy, Hays sophomore, said, "but enjoy is while it lasts because you'll never have another chance to live with 90 other women."
Ups and downs of sorority life
By BETSY PROFFITT correspondent@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
When most people imagine life in a sorority house, flashes of rooms full of pearl studs, pointed pumps and party pics spring to mind. Movies such as "Legally Blonde" and "Sorority Boys" have created these images, declaring pink the primary color and every night a slumber party. Although partially true, making the transition to "live-in" is exciting — but it may lend a few surprises.
surprises.
Living in a Greek house is exactly what it sounds like. The University of Kansas is home to 13 sororities, and while no two are identical, they all contain similar living environments. Each house is a home to anywhere from 40 to 90 women. The house not only serves as the structure in which a student functions while at school, but also as a "home away from home" where the residents develop into a family. Living with 80 other women may sound overwhelming and was a top concern when Joanna Kirby, a junior Kappa Kappa Gamma from LeaGamma, moved in.
"It sounds a lot bigger than it really is" she said
Living with so many girls is convenient and provides great opportunities. Someone is always willing to catch a movie or go out. And someone will

to study.
"You can't get anything done in the house. You must leave to study." said Kaase Kilian, Hays sophomore in Chi Omega.
"There's always someone distracting you."
The transition from university housing to a greek environment not only requires an open mind, but in some cases, an open closet
"Get ready to share," said Jaime Lowry, an Overland Park sophomore in Kappa Kappa Gamma. In case preschool didn't train you well enough, you'll soon learn that when you live with that many women, it's inevitable that people will borrow your things. Though wearing your roommate's pair of Sevens to the Hawk on Friday night may sound like fun, it occasionally causes problems.
Jess Elkouri, a sophomore Chi Omega from Wichita, was surprised to find out how inconsiderate some girls are when it comes to borrowing, or simply taking your things without asking.
"Be ready for people to assume it's OK to borrow," she advises.
Emily Quy, Hays sophomore in Kappa Alpha Theta, said, "It's hard to adjust at first, but enjoy it while it lasts because you'll never have another chance to live with 90 other women."
The first semester moving in is the hardest, but you'll more than likely learn to love it. All of the girls interviewed said they enjoyed their experiences so far. Lowry said that over winter break, she was ready to "go home to Kappa."
"I expected it to be much more stereotypical. Some fit the part, but it's much narrower than you think," she said. Of course, with so many college women living together, you're bound to find an Elle Woods or two if you search hard enough.
So even if members might share similar tastes in fashion, living in a sorority house may not be as cliché as you might imagine. Bair Winum, a sophomore Kappa Kappa Gamma from Glenwood, Iowa, was surprised to find out how "regular" it all is.

What about the fraternities?
No, we didn't forget about the University's male Greek counterpart. But this section is about transitions in living situations, and most men in fraternities live-in their first year, rather than moving in later as women in sororites do.
Last year, Nick Drake made the transition from a residence hall to fraternity house.
Drake, a sophomore member of Sigma Chi, lived in Oliver Hall last year. Despite the lack of privacy at a fraternity, he still said he thought the benefits outweighed the sacrifices.
The fraternity offers a structure that doesn't exist in the residence halls, he said.
"You have to hold yourself accountable to other people," he said. "That has helped with my grades, my self esteem and even my campus involvement."
Though Drake enjoys fraternity living, he admits that not everyone shares the same opinion.
"it's not for everyone and it's not supposed to be," he said.

7. Use fine-grain sandpaper to smooth out the newly fixed hole.
8. Paint if necessary.
Fix a Blown Fuse
1. Open the door to your service panel and examine it with a flashlight to identify the blown fuse. Typically lights are on 15-A circuits. Receptacles may be either 15 A (for 14-gauge wiring) or 20 A (for 12-gauge wiring). A large fixed appliance, such as an electric range or a water heater, should be on its own circuit, protected by fuses as specified by the appliance manufacturer (see the appliance's rating plate for amp requirements). In addition, one or more main fuses protect service lines coming from your power utility.
2. For light and receptacle circuits, look for a break or blackened area visible through the glass of a screw-in plug fuse. If all the fuses look good, identify the fuse according to the circuit label (map) printed on the door or next to each fuse
3. If the circuits are not mapped, locate the fuse by trial and error; Remove the fuses one at a time and either insert a new fuse to test the circuit, or touch the pointed probe of a continuity tester to the fuse's tip and the clip to its threaded shaft. If the tester does not glow, the fuse is bad.
4. For fuse blocks, which protect an electric stove and the main circuit, pull straight out on the handle, then remove the individual cartridge fuses from the block using a cartridge-fuse puller. Test the fuses with a continuity tester by probing the two ends.
Remove a Carpet Stain
1. Use an absorbent cloth to soak up excess spillage. Do not scrub; it will set the stain into the carpet.
2. Pour large amounts of club soda or water onto stain and repeat step one. Repeat steps one and two until stain is gone.
3. If stain persists, mix three tablespoons water with one tablespoon baking soda and apply to stain. Wait until mixture is dry, then vacuum.
Reset a Circuit Breaker
1. Turn off the light switches and unplug appliances in the room that has lost power.
room that has lost power.
2. Find your circuit breaker box and open the cover.
3. Locate the tripped breaker. Circuit breakers are small, usually horizontal switches labeled by the areas of the house they serve (for example, "kitchen," "bathroom" and so on). The tripped circuit breaker will be in the "off" position or in a middle position between "on" and "off."
4. Reset the breaker by moving it to the full "off" position and then back to "on." That may clear an overload and return power to the room. If the breaker re-trips, you may have too many lamps and appliances plugged into the circuit; a damaged cord or plug; a short circuit in a receptacle switch or fixture; or faulty wiring.
5. Identify and correct the malfunction before resetting the breaker.
Get Rid of Ceiling Stains
1. Make sure the leak is fixed before removing a ceiling stain.
Lay a drop cloth or a plastic sheet below the stained area of the ceiling to protect your carpeting or floor from drips.
Standing on a stepladder, wipe the stained ceiling surface clean with a damp rag.
2. Apply a pigmented stain blocker such as Kilz or Bullseye on the stained area using a paint roller (for center stains) or a painbrush (for corner stains). Paint 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) beyond the stain's edges.
3. Let the ceiling dry for one to 24 hours (follow the manufacturer's directions).

Mission possible: cheap, great décor

Moving into a new house or apartment is like having a blank canvas waiting to be painted. The problem is that most students find their canvas a little bare either because of lack of money or ideas. The solution lies in a little creativity, not lots of money.

A simple way to cover up dull, white
wall space is with a can of paint. Home
Depot, 1910 W. 31st St., sells gallons of
interior wall paint ranging in price from
$18-35 and spray paint for as little as 99

brighten up a room, but make sure to check
with your landlord before you paint. Even

in your room.
Kyle Gorynski, Topeka sophomore, and his roommates decorated their house with paint they found in the basement when they moved in. They all chipped in to make the kitchen several different colors.
"I like the way we did our kitchen," Gorynski said, "because it is a unique thing we all took part in that makes it feel like home."
The house Gorynski lives in on Mississippi Street has been rented by students for years. Gorynski said that by adding his own artwork in the kitchen he would be passing down something to the house's next tenants.

"I have my entire life to match and live in a picturesque living room," Habibi said,
"but since I am in college I really just want to have a bunch of cool stuff, whether they match or not."
For decorations, Habibi shops at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., and Target, at 3201 Iowa St., for the low prices. Habibi said these stores were good alternatives to places like Bed Bath & Beyond, 3106 Iowa St., because she was short on cash.

Wherever you choose to shop or whatever mantra you invoke during your decorating endeavor, one simple rule can be applied: Your options are limited only by your own creativity. With a little imagination, some thorough shopping and some initiative, anyone can have a superbly decorated place without spending an exorbitant amount of money, time or effort.

Grocery shopping with personality
One would think that after nearly four years of college I would have learned the essentials of grocery shopping. Unfortunately, I am still a novice when it comes to "paper or plastic" and organizing my pantry. With all the mandatory classes that the University of Kansas offers, I would choose Grocery Shopping 101 as the latest addition. Even with the guidance of my friends and family, I cannot seem to perfect the art of food purchasing.

to perfect the use of children.
There are certain individuals, however, who have grocery shopping down to a science. They pull into the hot spots in the parking lot with confidence, snag the well-oiled shopping carts and skillfully move through the express lanes.

Of course, what supermarket trip would be complete without an encounter with an angry shopper? These individuals can be irritated mothers, frustrated fathers or sassy senior citizens. One thing is for sure: They share a striking resemblance to "Supermarket Sweep" contestants, violently throwing elbows to be the first customers to greet the butcher with a long list of fish and meats. These customers have supermarket madness and spare no mercy for onlookers or stragglers. They are not difficult to spot, either. They dash
correspondent@kansas.com through the aisles toasting rice cakes and soda into their baskets with a child in one hand and a cell phone in the other.
When I arrive at SuperTarget, my grocery store of choice, I walk in with an open mind and an empty stomach. That may be my first mistake. Although I never seem to have time to make a list or cut coupons, I do my best to maintain a level of objectivity when purchasing the bare necessities — Smart Ones meals, pickles and wheat bread.
Often meals, pots and strolling down the aisles when I should be pacing the perimeter, I imagine myself preparing gourmet cuisine that would make Martha Stewart weep for joy. How I habitually end up with the same microwavable meals that take 10 minutes to cook and even less time to consume is beyond me.
to consume
I have found that grocery shopping is a fascinating way to discover a person's preferences and personality
traits. Impulse buys, such as a hanging plant or a delightful scented candle, may demonstrate an individual's spontaneity, whereas Save Brand basics can indicate a more conservative approach to life. The decision between creamy and crunchy peanut butter can be difficult, but the determining factor is how the shopper handles that situation.
Maybe when I am older, and hopefully wiser, I will have acquired the skills needed to be a Grade A shopper. For now, I think college students should have their own formula. For instance, some students prefer hand-held baskets, to maneuver easily through aisles. I am more of a shopping cart girl, myself. I like knowing that if I needed to race a motorized cart to the checkout lane, it would be available. Also, while many shoppers appreciate the food samples provided, I try desperately to dodge the friendly faces behind the booths. I have no idea how long those tiny hot dogs have been sitting out, and I am not willing to take that chance.
Grocery shopping is entertaining, but I suppose it is a good thing that pizza delivery remains a reliable option.

It could happen to you...
Broken toilets. Dead animals. Random salesmen. These can either be horrible or ordinary occurrences, depending on what constitutes "ordinary." In the spirit of Teen Magazine's monthly "Why Me?" section, here are a handful of KU students college life horror stories.
Josh Oaks, Horton sophomore, was having a party in his apartment when an intoxicated female guest flushed her cell phone down the toilet.
cell phone down The maintenance staff recovered the ruined cell phone, but the toilet was permanently broken.
Oaks said the worst part of the ordeal was not the $120 he was charged for the new toilet but that the waterlogged phone was left in the bathtub for him to throw out.

take on his kitchen table.
The snake was about 5 inches long, but it disturbed him that it was inside his apartment, especially during the winter.
"I don't know how you find a snake in February," he said.
Last year Kendall Dix, Prairie Village senior and Kansan copy editor, lived in a house on Ohio Street with eight roommates. One night, his simian roommate got so drunk he karate-kicked out the triple-paned glass of the house's front door.
"I don't think the guy could have gotten his foot that high ever again — even if he was sober," Dix said. A trash bag covered the door for weeks.
A carpet-cleaning product salesman took his act inside when he used his product in the apartment of Jake Hirsekorn, Lenexa sophomore.
"Of course, the baboon's leg didn't even sustain a scratch," Dix said.
The salesman walked in after Hirsekorn opened the door.
"We didn't invite him in or anything," he said.

Hirsekorn said the man thought the demonstration would convince the students to buy the product. Instead, he left a disturbed and puzzled tenant, skeptical of the salesman who had just cleaned his carpet.
Girl Scouts are expected to show up at the front door with cookies in hand. Older men are not. Ahmad Al-Gibaly, Lawrence sophomore, said a man about 50 years old, showed up at his apartment and tried to sell him cookies.
Scott Kvasnik, New Hope, Minn., junior and member of the Kansan advertising staff, was planning to live this year with his best friend, who he'd known since eighth grade. But three days out, the roommate called Kvasnik to say, "By the way, I'm not coming to school, I won't pay rent and I won't pay utilities."
Anja Winikka, Overland Park senior and Jayply writer, didn't face just the threat of being sued — she went as far as representing herself in small claims court.
Kvasnik said his landlord could still decide to sue, because Kvasnik and his almost-roommate didn't live up to the contract they signed.
Almost a year after living in a two-bedroom apartment with a friend, Winikka received a notice in the mail that the former roommate was suing her for abandoning her lease. Winikka consulted Legal Services for Students and made sure all her legal bases were covered. The two went to court, and though Winikka had done nothing wrong legally, the judge split the difference of the suit between the roommates.

Roommate issues: Solved
College is an important stage in life. The experience of living on your own, meeting new people, finding a career path and graduating are major highlights of college life, but finding a good roommate can be one of the more important aspects.
Unfortunately, many KU students, have had experiences.
dents have had lab. The University of Kansas Student Housing Department placed about 5,000 students in the residence halls and Jayhawker Towers this school year. Eric Grospitch, assistant director of Residence Life at the University of Kansas, has seen many positive and negative roommate experiences on campus.
"The main reason some roommates disagree with one another is because of cleanliness," said Grospitch.
"This year my roommate does not clean that much; she only cleans the dishes with a sponge and with no soap."
Nicole Thomas, Kansas City, Kan., senior and Jayhawker Towers resident, can relate.
The Student Housing
requests, Grosspeter said. To eliminate friction between roommates, student housing makes each roommate sign a roommate contract. The terms of the contract is drawn up by the roommates. If there is an argument between the roommates a resident hall assistant will pull the contract out, show it to the roommates and try to mediate the problem. If problems continue, the roommates may be moved to another room or given new roommates.
Department chooses roommates randomly. The department does take roommate requests and even tries to accommodate late requests, Grospitch said.
"We thought that being best friends and roommates would be a blast, and it was for awhile," Miles said. "But over time, especially in college, people change and grow apart."

She said that her roommate's boyfriend came between the two. He ate, slept, and showered at their place without paying rent or utilities, Miles said.

gaped talking to her.
The last straw for Miles came when she went to study abroad in Mexico. Her then-roommate stole her deposit check while she was away. She took Miles' half because she thought that Miles should have paid half of the utilities when she was gone, Miles said.
she was gone, "I'm still angry about the money situation, but I'm glad that I saw her true side, and I couldn't be happier that our friendship is over," Miles said.
Grosspitch advises students to room with long-time friends if they feel that their friendship can live through rough and changing times.
changing times.
"Being a roommate with a close friend can be stressful and difficult, but it all depends on how close they are, and in some cases it works out for the best," Grospitch said.
When looking for a good roommate one should look for someone who is compatible, has a sense of humor and is easy to communicate with, said Grospitch.

Some upperclassmen choose to live on campus

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The University of Kansas has been Malakai Edison's home since he was in junior high.
While many upperclassmen choose to live in an apartment or house off-campus, Edison, Olathe senior, has lived in the residence halls for the past four years. He lived in McCollum Hall as a freshman and has been a Hashinger Hall resident as a sophomore, junior and senior.

"I remember being in the eighth grade and thinking, 'Living in Hash would be the coolest thing to ever happen to me!'" Edison said.
Edison's wish was granted his sophomore year. He had enjoyed his stay at McCollum, but he said that the atmosphere and the community aspect of Hashinger made him want to return year after year.

that attract upperclassmen "The convenience factor is certainly a reason to return," Robertson said. "Dorms are close to campus, close to activities and close to other people."
Robertson also said that for many upperclassmen, the location of the bus route played a major role in their decision to return. For students without cars, the bus system is a large benefit of living on campus. But location and atmosphere aren't the only aspects of halls that returning residents look for.
"Living in the dorms is very cost-effective." Robertson said. "Between the convenience and the cost, you can't really find a better value."
Beth Kimberly, Fairway senior, will be graduating this fall. During her years at the University, she has lived in four different residence halls and also spent a semester in the on-c campus Jayhawker Towers Apartments. The cost of room and board was the deciding factor for Kimberly to stay on campus.

"The whole place is my house." Edison said. "It's like a mansion. Two-hundred fifty people live here and we're all in the same family."

STUDENT SENATE
Fee increase on ballot
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@hansan.com
STAFF WRITER
Student Senate passed a bill last night that will send a proposal to raise student fees by $5 per semester for Student Union Activities to a student vote during Senate elections in April.
The $5 fee would be used by SUA for programming purposes. Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president and author of the bill, said that the increase was
necessary to stay on pace with other schools in the Big 12 and in the Midwest.
SUA will now work to spread the word about the fee increase to students before the elections take place. Rachel Peart, SUA president, said SUA work diligently the next couple of weeks to raise awareness of the referendum.
"We want to inform students of all the benefits that could come from this fee," Peart said. "We will be putting on events specifically for the referendum
to raise awareness."
Peart said members of SUA would be on Wescoe Beach the week before Senate elections to offer free cookies. SUA members will also be making visits to residence halls and meeting with various campus organizations.
With the increase, Pearl said it would be much more feasible to bring in more popular entertainment and speakers.
Dunlap said the increase was a good idea because SUA would be able to offer events where students could make their money back.
At the meeting it was pointed out that celebrities such as Bob Dylan and Al Franken both visited Kansas State University and the University of Missouri, but skipped over the University of Kansas because it lacked funding.
He also said that bowling could eventually be free at the Jaybowl during the days for students, and instead of $25 for a SUA movie ticket, the fee could be decreased or become free.
Keith Ellis, SUA adviser, said it
was very exciting that the bill passed in Senate and reiterated what Dunlap said about other student programs possibly benefiting.
"I am encouraged by the support of Jeff and the entire Senate," Ellis said. "If this passes, we will be able to do amazing things, and that is very exciting."
Senate will have a consulting role with SUA on how the money is spent if the referendum passes in April.

Student Senate passed a resolution urging students to vote April 5 against the gay marriage amendment last night.
During the nearly 90-minute debate, discussion centered on students' rights. Senators said their decision was not based on ideology, but that students should vote "no" because student rights would be protected.

Senators approved the measure by a large majority, 41-6. Six senators abstained.

Green beer to flow tonight

Today is St. Patrick's Day, a holiday synonymous with drinking, the Irish and absent college students.
Bars around the city have been preparing, most for the last two days, for the holiday inspired by the Irish saint.
"We've been preparing for St. Patrick's Day since Monday." Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said. "It's our biggest day of the year. It's really our Christmas."
Establishments around the city, such as Red Lyon Tavern, will open doors early and will stay open late into the night.
The holiday celebrates the day that the patron saint drove all serpents out of Ireland. The

custom was first celebrated in America in 1737.
For college students, the holiday is just an excuse to consume intoxicating libations. The perennial standard drink for the holiday is Guinness.
Guinness will be one of the most popular beers sold tonight for the Red Lyon Tavern. Neverve said. The bar will be one of the top sellers of the Irish beer in the state, selling about 10 kegs. Neverve said.
"I'm Irish, so I can smell out a Guinness from far away," said Conley, Wichita senior, said.

Scholarship hall parking limited, will only get worse

esrentino@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A lone parking space remained empty in lot 107 by Sellards Scholarship Hall 9 a.m. last Thursday. It was the only available spot in the parking lot designated for scholarship hall residents.
Like all parking lots on campus, Alumni Place parking lots are oversold. And they will only get worse.
Scholarship hall parking
Rieger Hall, which will house 50 women, is scheduled to open in the fall. Residents of the new building at 13th and Ohio streets will not have a parking lot.
Hultine said there is minimal land near the scholarship halls to build another parking lot. Building a new lot would cost $5,000 to $10,000 per space.
Solutions to the oversold permits and ticketing are limited.
SEE SPOTS ON PAGE 6A
A tentative plan would reserve 32 Kansas Union parking garage permits for Rieger Hall residents, Donna Hultine, parking director said. The department is undecided on what it would charge residents. A Union permit is $125, which is $40 more than an annual Alumni Place parking permit.
The following is a monthly breakdown of the parking tickets issued in Alumni Place lots. A ticket for parking in a lot without a proper permit is $20.

Bands find city enticing

KANSA STAT WRITER
"We really enjoy this town," Richling said as he gazed down the street. "We were here about 10 years ago and wanted to come back."
Less than an hour after the Wallflowers left the stage at Liberty Hall, bassist Greg Richling stood outside Liberty Hall on Massachusetts Street. He shifted his weight between his legs, obviously tired from the evening's show.
The Wallflowers are one of many bands that have made stops in Lawrence. The reason the bands come is generally the same. Lawrence loves music.
Lingering fans talked with him as the band waited for equipment to be loaded into the bus.
Wallflowers, said Liberty Hall reminded him less of a concert and more of a "town meeting."

"The closeness and intimacy make the shows in Lawrence the best," said Cameron Lauer, Seneca junior. "Even if you're in the front row of Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, you're still not as close and the scene is not as intimate."

Intimacy is a major selling point for bands and fans. Students can often get closer to the bands they love. Many bands will even go out in the city to hang out with their fans.

"This town really has a great love for music and different types of it," said Derek Hein, bassist for Big Metal Rooster. "Coming back to Lawrence is great. People welcome you back like it's home."
Although Lawrence does bring in a variety of bands, many larger bands do not frequent the town. Many more popular bands bypass Lawrence for Kansas City.

Big Metal Rooster, from Lawrence, has played for hundreds of fans throughout the country, but band members said Lawrence had the best fans.
"I think we kind of have a reputation as an indie rock city," Lauer said. "But I think whoever comes enjoys the atmosphere of the town."
"The question isn't, why did we come to Lawrence, the question is why didn't we come back sooner," Richling said.
Aside from the Wallflowers, Lawrence has been frequented by other popular bands such as the Flaming Lips, the Pat McGee Band and John Mayer in the last five years.

Blake won't have to do time
LOS ANGELES — A jury acquitted tough-guy actor Robert Blake of murder yesterday in the shooting death of his wife four years ago, bringing a dramatic end to a case that played out like pulp fiction.
999
The jury also acquitted Blake of one charge of trying to get someone to kill Bonny Lee Bakley, but deadlocked on a second solicitation charge. The jury voted 11-1 in favor of acquittal and the judge dismissed the count.
The 71-year-old star of the 1970s detective drama "Baretta" sobbed uncontrollably at the defense table, embraced his attorney and exhaled heavily as the verdicts sank in.
Bakley's adult daughter sobbed quietly in the back of the courtroom.
Nick Lit/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Outside the courthouse, Blake was cheered by supporters and put out a cigarette he had been smoking as he began a rambling speech in which he thanked his lawyers and private investigators.
"This small band of dedicated warriors saved my life," he said.
He also described the financial toll the case had taken on him.
Robert Blake is hugged by his attorney, M. Gerlad Schwartzbach, after the jury acquitted Blake of murder in the shooting death of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, four years ago, bringing a stunning end to a case that played out like pulp fiction in Los Angeles yesterday.
"If you want to know how to go through $10 million in five years, ask me," said Blake, who was free on bail during his trial but under house arrest. "I'm broke. I need a job."
At one point, Blake asked whether anyone in the crowd had something to remove his electronic monitoring bracelet. He then bent down and cut off the ankle device.
on the cinema.
The jury of seven men and five women delivered the verdicts on its ninth day of deliberations, following a trial with a cast of characters that included two Hollywood stuntmen who said Blake tried to get them to bump off his wife.
No eyewitnesses, blood or DNA evidence linked Blake to the crime. The murder weapon, found in a trash bin, could not be traced to Blake, and witnesses said the minuscule amounts of gunshot residue found on Blake's hands could have come from a different gun he said he carried for protection.
Blake had faced life in prison; prosecutors did not seek the death penalty.
"The prosecution built their case on the backs of those two men and neither one of them was worthy of belief," defense attorney M. Gerald Schwartzbach said outside court.
The defense called it a weak case built largely on the testimony of the two stuntmen _ both of whom were once heavy drug users.
Prosecutors said Blake believed his wife trapped him into a loveless marriage by getting pregnant. They said Blake soon became smitten with the baby, Rosie, and desperately wanted
"They couldn't put the gun in his hand," jury foreman Thomas Nicholson told reporters outside court, adding that the case lacked evidence that could "connect all the links in the chain." Nicholson called one of the stuntmen a "prolific liar."
Blake was charged with shooting Bakley, 44, in their car outside the actor's favorite Italian restaurant on May 4, 2001, less than six months after their marriage.
The four-month trial was part of a wave of celebrity court cases in California that have provided endless fodder for the tabloids and cable networks. The Michael Jackson child molestation trial was starting just as the Blake case was wrapping up, and rock 'n' roll producer Phil Spector will stand trial later this year in Los Angeles for allegedly murdering a B-movie actress.
Bakley had been married several times, had a record for mail fraud and made a living scamming men out of money with nude pictures of herself and promises of sex.
in another murder case that was seemingly made for the tabloids, Scott Peterson was sent to death row just a few hours before the Blake verdict for killing his pregnant wife and her unborn fetus.

Prosecutors said Blake killed his wife after failing to persuade a street thug-turned-minister and the two stuntmen from his "Baretta" days to do the job. One of the stuntmen said Blake talked about having Bakley "snuffed" and mentioned locations for the killing, including the Grand Canyon.
In "Baretta," Blake played a tough-talking, street-smart detective whose catchphrase was "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."
Also, a former detective who worked for Blake as a private investigator testified that the actor proposed to kidnap Bakley, force her to have an abortion and, if that did not work, "whack her."
Those acting successes seemed well in the past by the time a divorced and lonely Blake met Bakley at a jazz club five years ago. They had sex in his truck that night, and she was soon carrying Blake's child. They were wed in 2000 in a no-frills ceremony at which the bride wore an electronic monitoring bracelet because she was still on probation for fraud.
Blake told authorities that he walked his wife to the car after dinner, then discovered he had left his gun back in the booth at Vitello's Restaurant. He went back to get it, then returned to the car and found his wife shot, he said.

Senate OKs fee veto
BY DANIEL BERR
dberk@kansan.com
dBERK STAFF WRITER
After an hour of debate, Student Senate voted to uphold a veto by Steve Munch, student body president.
Munch vetoed a bill Monday that would increase student fees for Legal Services for Students by a $1.50 so its lawyer could go from working 75 percent time to full-time. Munch said the reason he vetoed the bill was because he made a commitment to the student body that any fee increases to go to a student vote.

"I was a little surprised with the end outcome, but certainly happy with it," Munch said.
The final vote on the veto was 43-17 in support of Munch, which was a drastic change from the initial legislation, where the vote was 48-10 in favor of increasing fees.

Munch said he was pleased that students will get an opportunity to vote on the increase.
Legal Services for Students will do what they can to market the idea to students, Faulconer said, but he was unsure how much time could be dedicated to it.
During the debate, senator Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., junior, and vice-presidential candidate for Delta Force, questioned the leadership of Senate that the debate and vote took place so long after Munch's veto. Craig said she thought it was a waste of time to debate it for so long and that this showed poor leadership.

Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts, both Kansas Republicans, introduced legislation earlier this year that designated the Bleeding Kansas and Enduring Struggle for Freedom National Heritage Area, which would include 24 counties in eastern Kansas.
The designation would bring in money and other resources from the National Park Service and create historic markers, signs, brochures and museums. Heritage areas also can qualify for up to $1 million per year in federal funds for up to 10 years.
Bleeding Kansas mainly referred to 1854 to 1861, when pro- and anti-slavery forces in the area erupted in violence.

Seat belt bill may soon be reality
TOPEKA — Senators are trying again to strengthen Kansas' child passenger safety law, giving first-round approval Tuesday to a bill requiring all minors to wear seat belts or ride in special safety seats.
The measure was advanced on a voice vote. It would triple the fine for violating the law to
$60 and make it easier for law enforcement officers to ticket young drivers.
The Senate planned to take final action on the bill Wednesday. That is when passage would send the measure to the House. Senators approved similar bills in 2001, 2002 and 2004, and only saw them dead in the other chamber.
Strengthening the law has been a goal of some legislators, law enforcement agencies and child advocates since 2001. That was when Kansas' law received an "F" from the National SAFE KIDS Campaign.
Supporters of the bill contend a stronger law will save lives.
But some lawmakers, particularly in the House, view the measure as burdensome for families, particularly those with many children.
English professor Thomas E. Murray, 48, is charged with first-degree murder in the 2003 death of his wife, Carmin D. Ross, 40. His trial began Feb. 17 in Douglas County District Court and ended Monday with closing arguments by prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Judge sentences Peterson to death
BY BRIAN SKOLOFF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. A judge formally sentenced Scott Peterson to death yesterday after family members got into a shouting match and Laci Peterson's mother sobbed and called her son-in-law "an evil murderer."
Sharon Rocha, Laci Peterson's mother, walks out to stand with her husband as he addresses the media outside the courthouse after the formal sentencing of Scott Peterson in Redwood City, Calif., yesterday. The judge formally sentenced Scott Peterson to death yesterday after calling the murder of his pregnant wife, Laci, "cruel, uncaring, heartless and callous."
Judge Alfred A. Delucchi allowed only Laci's family members to speak at the hearing after he indicated that he believed the death penalty was warranted.
Peterson's father yelled from the audience as Laci's brother, Brent Rocha, spoke to the court and said, "Laci and Conner are the true victims here."
"What a liar!" Lee Peterson said before the judge admonished him and he walked out of the courtroom. Jackie Peterson, Scott Peterson's mother, also interrupted Rocha but her voice was inaudible.
Delucchi denied a defense request for a new trial before he upheld the jury's recommendation that Peterson be sentenced to death.
Scott Peterson, 32, was invited to make a statement. After several minutes of discussion with his attorneys, he declined.
"The court is satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the
defendant, Scott Lee Peterson, is guilty of first-degree murder" and second degree. Delucchi said and added that he found that the killings "were cruel,

wrong. Dead. Dabbing at her eyes with tissues, she called him "an evil murderer."
Peterson was convicted in November of first-degree murder in the killing of Laci and second-degree murder for the slaying of her fetus. A jury recommended the death penalty a month later.
Peterson's attorney, Mark Geragos, tried to get the judge to allow Peterson's parents, Jackie and Lee Peterson, to speak, on the basis that they were related to Conner.
The judge said the hearing was an opportunity for Laci's relatives to speak only. He ordered Scott Peterson to pay $10,000 restitution for funeral expenses and an additional $5,000, though the reason for that amount was unexplained.

Senate debates using Alaskan oil
WASHINGTON — A sharplydivided Senate is about to decide whether to give oil companies access to an ecologically rich Alaska wildlife refuge that could be one of the country's biggest oil fields.
Drilling supporters argue that the refuge's oil will reduce U.S. reliance on imports. Opponents say it will hardly make a dent in the more than
120 million barrels of oil the country uses each day.
Repeated attempts to open the refuge to drilling fell short as drilling proponents failed to muster the 60 votes needed to overcome a Senate filibuster by Democrats and a group of moderate Republicans.

WASHINGTON — Two-thirds of the members serving on an expert medical panel investigating a U.S.-funded AIDS study are receiving grant money from the federal agency at the center of the probe, according to documents and interviews.
The Institute of Medicine said it was aware of the financial tie
with six of the nine members of its expert panel but approved their participation because they have special expertise, receive only a minority of their overall funding from the National Institutes of Health and won their grants competitively.
IOM, the nation's health adviser, said the panel's ultimate conclusions about NIH's controversial AIDS study in Africa wouldn't affect the members' NIH funding, and thus there was no conflict of interest, spokeswoman Christine Stencel said.

the words "without homes" and "veterans" and decide that this column doesn't apply to them.
"After all, we have those cool magnets on our car to make sure everyone knows how much we support veterans and soldiers! How dare you imply that we're not fazed by disheartening information about veterans."
E 1904
The Department of Veteran's Affairs said that one out of four homeless males in America have spent time in the service. In addition to the 300,000 homeless veterans out there on any given night, in any given year, half a million former service members will report being homeless.
The truth of the matter is regardless of how much you detail your car, there are going to be service members that return to America with real problems.
I'm talking about real issues like grown men and women sleeping in alleys because they don't know where to get help, or help just isn't available.
Many organizations try to downplay the causes of this homelessness, and imply that they are not militarily related. Even if that were true, does that mean we shouldn't take care of men and women who volunteered to go get shot at in a foreign country because politicians told them they were defending America and her interests abroad?
Let's take a look at our politicians, and more importantly, their track records concerning veterans.
"But Matt! I voted for this certain candidate who said he loved veterans, and he wanted to give them all houses and baths."
important. A House budget proposal of $726 billion in tax cuts will trim veteran's healthcare and budget by nearly $25 billion in the next 10 years. Luckily, Senate cut the $726 billion tax cuts in half.
Someone remind me again what the difference between our current Senate and House is? I think it's about 20 extra Republicans.
In 2002, a federal appeals
I know how tax cuts are important for Americans. We might have to settle for an above-ground pool instead of an in-ground one. Or worse yet, no pool at all. Wealthy corporations and citizens deserve the best lives that veteran's budget money can buy them.
court ruled that World War II and Vietnam veterans could not receive their promised free life-time healthcare for serving 20 years.
healthcare for serving 28 years Congress' response? Not its problem. The Supreme Court won't even hear the case. Is this what soldiers deserve? Veteran's Affairs hospitals all over the country are shutting down.
We have hundreds of thousands of veterans on waiting lists trying to get healthcare appointments, so we shut down hospitals.
I'm not going to say who was in charge when all this went down, but I will tell you it's the same guy who dressed up in a flight suit and told terrorists to "bring it on" against troops abroad.
rorists to "bring it on" againstogoepersons to bring it on
The first method that springs to mind would be to vote for candidates that are truly concerned with providing a practical and financial means to give them healthcare and a place to stay.
Something you could do would be to get out and volunteer, or at least donate to programs that help the homeless. There are shelters and programs looking for volunteers right here in Lawrence. Go to the Drop-In Center, the Lawrence Open Shelter or the Salvation Army for opportunities to pitch in.
Ideally, we would work to end poverty and homelessness in the United States, and eventually the world. But now, you can help one person, possibly a veteran, and it would mean the world to them.

Student Senate blitz coming to a Wescoe Beach near you
PETER J. TURNER

For those of you who are freshmen, every April Student Senate hopefuls stand in front of Wescoe Hall and the Kansas Union. They will shove fliers in your face and chase all the way to your next class. They give you their coalition's button and flash their smiles until you lie to them and say you'll vote
Some passers-by pretend to talk on their cell phones as they walk by, but sometimes even the craftiest students forget and get caught off-guard.
Last year a candidate told me, "We do it because we care." If you didn't care, why would you run for office at all? Student Senate might look good on a resumé, but it does take up a lot of time. Otherwise I wouldn't see advertisements in the paper seeking replacement senators at the beginning of every semester.
beginning of every What candidates don't realize is that they turn off more voters than they sway in their favor. Only about 14 percent of the student body voted in the
election last year. The University of Missouri's student government attracts more than 20 percent of the student body during election season, Anton Luetkemeyer, student body president at Mizzou, said. Candidates at Mizzou do not resort to following people to class, but
Candidates who want to attract new voters should change the way they campaign. Why not set up a table and let people come to you? No one likes stalking. It's like a telemarketer calling your house during dinner.
opt instead to speak in lecture halls before class begins and Greek houses during dinner, he said.
If the new Student Voice coalition could get the KU Public Safety Office to patrol Wescoe Beach and keep me safe from Delta Force and KUnited, I would vote for it.
The student body read about your campaign platforms on the front page of the Kansan last Tuesday. In the coming weeks, the coalitions will be on the front page every day. I know what the coalitions stand for. It will be their character and actions during the coming weeks that will help me decide who I want to vote for, if I do at all.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Missouri police show how far Border Showdown has gone
When University of Missouri police officers grabbed and arrested one of the KU students who made a sign highlighting recent controversies of the naming of Missouri's sports area, it was one more signal that the longtime border rivalry has gotten out of hand.
Three KU students made a humorous, yet appropriate sign to display in Mizzou Arena during the basketball game in Columbia, Mo., March 6. The sign particularly highlighted the controversy created when Wal-Mart heirs Bill and Nancy Laurie, who sponsored the new arena, named it Paige Sports Arena after their daughter. As the punch line, the sign declared while you "can call it whatever you want, it will always be Allen Fieldhouse East."
The university's police chief, Jack Watring, attended the game off-duty and took it down. The KU students who brought the sign tried to stop him. According to a complaint filed by the students, Watring proceeded to grab one of the KU students by the collar. Police on-duty at the arena got involved, but the incident ended with the arrest of a KU student.
Watring overstepped his bounds by making the decision to take action against the KU students and their sign. The decision to hang the sign was out of his jurisdiction. It was up to the usher, who had already approved it. Watring did not have any right to intervene
as an ordinary citizen. But he did not have a right as a police chief either.
As a public figure, Watring should realize that how he acts as a civilian has consequences on his image as the police chief. Getting into a fight with KU students is not appropriate. It sets a horrible example not only for the officers he supervises, but also to fans. It also creates bad public relations between the public and the police as a whole, causing the public to become more fearful of the police rather than confident that they provide protection.
The incident reflects poorly on the Mizzou police department because the KU student was wrongfully arrested. This shows bias within the department. Mizzou police officers will follow the influence of their chief, even if he does not advocate the right actions.
This hint of corruption in the Mizzou police department shows how out-of-hand the Kansas and Missouri rivalry has become. Even though it's fun to get involved in the game and support your university's team, the border rivalry can and has gone too far. At the next game, both the officials and the fans should remember that going to the basketball game is supposed to be all in good fun.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
'Screw Mizzou' T-shirts imply sexual violence, not to mention unoriginal
Aside from being classless and tragically unfunny, these shirts make a mockery of sexual violence and even lend a level of credibility to the act of rape. The message sent is that sexual violence is fine when it is perpetrated against an enemy, in fact it is something we should all do and with pride as an affirmation of the superiority of our side.
Sports rivalries are an inherently silly business, there is no denying that. Nontheless they should be acted out with a sense of class and light humor that I find is missing as of late. I point to a scourge of t-shirts that feature a Jayhawk perpetrating a gross violation against a tiger on the front while the back urges, "Screw Mizzou!"
We live in a society that still attempts to blame women for sexual crimes perpetrated against them. Further, we live in a world where rape is a tragic reality of war and women's bodies become battlegrounds.
I trust that the makers of these t-shirts do not wish to lend their consent to these realities. Regardless, the t-shirts and those who wear them do send this unaccetable message.And if that is not argument enough, it's something Missouri fans would do.
Seriously, they had the reverse image on a shirt years ago. Let's ditch the "Screw Mizzou" shirts in favor of something a little less offensive, something original.

A white Chevy Corsica and a green Jeep Wrangler collided at 14th and Massachusetts streets about 3:45 p.m. Tuesday. A passenger in the Corsica, which was driving southbound on Massachusetts Street, was sent to the hospital after the Jeep's driver hit the car. The cars' owners did not want to have their names published.

Bar patrons from nearby establishments like the Hawk and the Wheel often park in the lots, which causes more overcrowding, Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing, said.
The Alumni Place lots, which are reserved for scholarship hall residents, are always restricted but frequently contain illegally parked cars.
Paul Trigoso, Lima, Peru junior, is a scholarship hall resident and employee of the Parking Department. He tickets as many as 17 cars in a four-hour period in lot 100 by Stephenson Scholarship Hall, he said.
Trigoso said the most common ticket he issues is a "no permit" ticket, which is $20. He also issues $35 tickets for blocked roadways and $100 tickets for illegally parking in handicapped-designated spaces.
"I'm not personally mad at them, but they need to know that they're not supposed to park there," Trigoso said.
People park illegally because there are no other spaces available, he said.
According to the department, 330 permits were sold for the 291 spaces.
"It's just a limited resource and we're not telling anyone that they can't buy a permit," Hultine said.

Israel hands over control of Jericho
JERICHO, West Bank Israel yesterday handed this quiet West Bank town to Palestinian security control, ending a weeks-long impasse over the removal of army road-blocks and giving a fresh boost to Mideast peacemaking, Palestinian commanders said.
American commanders said. Jericho is the first of five West Bank towns to revert back to Palestinian control in coming weeks, part of an attempt to restore the situation that existed before the outbreak of fighting in September 2000.

As part of the pullback in Jericho, Israeli troops removed one roadblock, while two other barriers were to remain in place during a monthlong trial period.

Team works out
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Two No. 1s were distinctly absent yesterday at Kansas' football open practice. Sophomore running back John Randle was dismissed from the team on Monday after he was arrested on a battery charge, and junior linebacker Gabriel Toomey left the team in December, citing health problems.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he was impressed with the way the defense had been playing thus far into practices.
About 100 fans attended the lone open practice of the spring. It was the team's first practice in pads, and fans got their first glimpses of what the team will look like next season.
"I think we've got a chance to be a pretty solid team on defense," Mangino said. "We're moving faster on defense than
we ever have. I'm pretty excited about that."
The team will feature three recognizable faces at the linebacker position with juniors Nick Reid, Banks Floodman and Kevin Kane anchoring the defense. Reid had 109 tackles a season ago and garnered first team all-Big 12 accolades.
"It's jelling the quickest it has since I have been here." Floodman said of the defense. "We are feeling pretty good right now."
Jon Cornish, who played at running back last season, saw some time at linebacker today. Mangino said that the move was currently experimental and was made because Reid had been sick recently.
Sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon and junior cornerback Theo Baines will both return. Gordon was a thirdteam all-American selection last year as he led the nation with seven interceptions.
The quarterback position is competitive with sophomore Adam Barmann and Marcus Herford, a freshman who took a redshirt, fighting for the starting job. Barmann and Herford get about 35 percent of the reps each at the position. Juniors Jason Swanson and Brian Luke are receiving the remainder of the reps.
Fans also saw a quarterback competition that will likely continue up until the first game of the season Sept. 3 against Florida Atlantic.
"I'm glad to have competition. That's what makes you better." Barmann said.
Barmann passed for 1,427 yards and 12 touchdowns last season before missing the final three games because of a shoulder injury.
Barmann and Herford completed some challenging passes yesterday, but also struggled finding receivers, as both overthrew some passes.

The many blitzes from the Kansas defense during the scrimmage section of practice may have contributed to the struggles.
"We put them in a tough spot today," Mangino said. "We worked a lot of blitz and longyardage, and I did it for a reason. We have to be able to deal with those types of situations."

Boschee on the rebound
Kansas standout finds his way back to the court after challenges
BY FRANK TANKARD

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
Editor's Note: Kansan sportswriter Frank Tankard will profile a former Kansas men's basketball player each day this week, leading up to the Jayhawks' first game on Friday. Each player featured took the court for the Jayhawks sometime during the last four years. This is the fourth installment of the five-part series. Tomorrow, Tankard will profile former forward Drew Gooden.
"One day went like this," Jeff Boschew wrote in an e-mail from Iceland. "I woke up about 11 a.m. It had been sunny all morning. I went to the grocery store about an hour after I woke up, and it started to get cloudy. By the time I got to the grocery store, it was windy as hell and sleeting. I came out of the grocery store and it was sunny again..."
The first thing Jeff Bosche noticed when he arrived in Grindavik, Iceland, in February was the wild weather, the latest peculiarity in a string of adventures and challenges he has faced since he finished his Kansas basketball career in 2002.
"...Then about two hours later, it started snowing and the wind picked up and it was a blizzard. Toward the end of the night, it was clear with a lot of snow on the ground. Then about two days later all the snow melted. Now it is very nice here. When I call home to my parents' house it is nicer here than it is in North Dakota."

People often forget just how dominating the 6-foot-1 guard could be. He finished his career with a 40.1 three-point percentage. Even good three-point shooters usually level off somewhere in the 30s when they take as many shots as he did. His senior year, he took more shots than ever and made 46.4 percent of them.
It's the only trophy in the collection for an individual player. Not even Danny Manning or Wilt Chamberlain has one.
Former Kansas coach Roy Williams said he couldn't remember a player who wanted the ball like Bosche did.
"The little rascal was willing to take — and made — a bunch of big shots," Williams said. "He was fearless — he truly was fearless — with the basketball. Every time he cocked it and got ready to shoot, I always thought it was going in."
part of why we娃
Soon after the Jayhawks bowed out in the
Final Four with a loss to Maryland three years ago, he was supposed to board a plane for an NBA pre-draft camp in Portsmouth, Va. He didn't go.
Boschie loved the University of Kansas. That's part of why it was so hard for him to move on.

It was a rough start to spring practices for the Kansas football team this week.
Green grows to replace booted back
Just four days later and without Randle, the football team played for media and about 100 fans at the first full-contact practice of the spring, yesterday. If Kansas intends to attain the 7-4 record it will need to become bowl-eligible, it's going to need a banner senior campaign from Clark Green and a stellar first appearance for Gary Green.
On Sunday, less than 12 hours before the first practice, sophomore running back John Randle found himself back in jail for allegedly punching someone in the face and sending him to the hospital.
Gary Green, who took a redshirt last fall, will have to replace the big-play explosiveness that Randle brought to the team last year.
Randle brought After yesterday's practice, it looked like Gary Green would at least have a chance of stepping into the shoes left by Randle.
into the shoes left at the door.
At one point, at the end of practice, Gary Green took a hand off and tore through the defense, bouncing off tackles. He pinballed his way to a 30-yard gain and a fictitious touchdown.
"He does that on a consistent basis in practice. We are excited to see what he's going to do next year," junior linebacker Banks Floodman said. "He has been working as hard as anyone on the offense in the offseason."

Langford unlikely to play Friday
Senior guard Keith Langford is now doubtful about Friday's game against Bucknell, Kansas coach Bill Self said yesterday.
Langford may not play in the first round of the NCAA Tournament because he is still battling the stomach flu. He did not travel with the team to the Big 12 Conference Tournament because of a similar problem, but he since appeared to have recovered from the illness. Self said Langford would have played Sunday if the Jayhawks had advanced to the Big 12 finals.
Langford did not practice yesterday, but Self said it had nothing to do with his injured ankle. He would have practiced if he had not been sick
Langford traveled to Oklahoma City with the team last night but must now make an unlikely recovery if he is to play against Bucknell, Self said.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Students have limited time to cancel tournament tickets
Students who purchased tickets to NCAA Tournament games through the Kansas athletics department need to look over their applications again.
If they want to cancel their orders, they need to do so by 5 p.m. the Monday before the game.
It's too late for students who wanted to cancel their ticket orders for this weekend's games in Oklahoma City. But students can still cancel their ticket orders for the regional and Final Four games.
Students must cancel their orders for the March 25 and 27 regional games in Syracuse, N.Y., by March 21. If the Jayhawks advance to the Final Four, students must cancel their orders for the April 2 and 4 games in St. Louis by March 28.
To cancel, students have to turn in a written request to the ticket office, located in Allen Fieldhouse. Cancellations will not be accepted over the phone.
The athletics department will not refund students' tickets for this weekend's games. But it can try to sell students' tickets in Oklahoma City this weekend and give the students back the original price they paid for the ticket, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs.
The athletics department announced the winners of the ticket lottery for all tournament sites on March 1. On the application, students submitted their credit card information. Students who are chosen are given until the Monday prior to the game to turn down their tickets. If they did not do so at the ticket office, they were automatically billed. The cancellation deadline was also written in bold on the application.
The athletics department will only receive tickets for locations where the Jayhawks will play if they continue to advance in the tournament.

Pressure mounts for top seeds
NCAA TOURNAMENT
BY KELLIE ROBINETT

KANSAAN SPORTWRITER
Every first-round game in the NCAA Tournament pressures players and coaches.
All 32 games are nationally televised by CBS, fans register for score updates on their cell phones and people often skip work to watch the games.
The Associated Press
Plus, there's that little thing about playing for a national championship.
All 65 teams in the Big Dance deal with this pressure, but low seeds handle it in a completely different way than top seeds do, coaches said.
"There's no rubber stamp on how to approach that first-round game because it's different for everybody," said Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson, who has coached both No. 1- and No. 13-seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
In 1999, he led the No. 13-seeded Sooners to a first-round upset of the No. 4-seeded Arizona Wildcats by telling his players to play like there was no tomorrow. In 2002, he led the No. 2-seeded Sooners to the Final Four, but first had to get through an opening-round game
that everyone expected them to win.
Kansas is in a similar position this year because, after two Final Fours and an Elite Eight in the last three years, media and fans take the first round for granted, Kansas coach Bill Self said.
After this year's bracket was announced, media first asked Self how Kansas would respond if it played Wisconsin, Connecticut, North Carolina or Illinois.
Self said answering questions about hypothetical match-ups was an unnecessary distraction for the Jayhawks, who will play No. 14-seed Bucknell Bison tomorrow night. But preparing for possible future opponents is just part of being a favorite in the Big Dance. Self said.
All week, Self has labeled the Jayhawks' trip to Oklahoma City a "two-game tournament," instead of a do-or-die game with the Bison.
"I will give both of them some time." Self said of studying the Kansas' possible second-round opponents, Wisconsin and Northern Iowa. "My focus is on Bucknell, but that way I will be up to speed on whoever we play, if we win."
Small schools, on the other hand, concentrate solely on their firstround games. No one asks them
"It's less of a distraction for them," Kansas senior guard Mike Lee said. "That's part of why the first game always seems to be the toughest."
about future match-ups because they aren't expected to go that far, KU players said.
Besides focusing all its attention on Kansas, Bucknell also has the advantage of playing as the underdog. The Bison will take the court with a carefree attitude because they have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
"That could be motivation," Self said. "I've been in that locker room before and said all the pressure is on the other team because they're supposed to win."
Top seeds have an entirely different approach.
“it's added pressure for us,” Lee said. “If we win, no one really cares. If we lose, then people ask, 'How in the world did you lose that game?'”
the Bison could benefit significantly. By defeating Kansas, Bucknell would likely be labeled as a "Cinderella Team" and would be celebrated throughout the country.
The Jayhawks may get no credit for winning in the first round, but
when Gonzaga reached the Elite Eight in 1999, media converged on Spokane, Wash. A reported 10,000 stories were produced. ESPN now televises Gonzaga games nationally and enrollment has risen from about 4,000 in 1999 to a little more than 6,000.
This phenomenon has also happened at schools such as Hampton, Valaraboa. Butler and Kent State.
"I'd heard of a few of them, but winning that first-round game just magnifies a small school so much," Kansas senior forward Wayne Simien said.
It's Simien's job to make sure that Bucknell doesn't get that kind of publicity. If Bucknell does defeat the Jayhawks, Simien's career, along with the three other Kansas seniors, will be remembered more for losing to Bucknell than for going to two Final Fours.
That's the pressure that comes with being a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Tough teams load Syracuse regional
Kansas plays Bucknell in first round
BY KELLIS ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Editor's note: Kansas sportswriter Kellis Robinett will examine the four regions in the NCAA Tournament before play starts today. The following is a breakdown of the Syracuse regional, the final installment of the series.
No. 1 North Carolina (27-4) vs. No. 16 Oakland (13-18)
Oakland defeated Alabama A&M in the play-in game to face North Carolina. The Tar Heels will have a fan advantage because the game is in Charlotte, N.C. The team also has five players who average more than 10 points a game.
No. 8 Minnesota (21-10) vs. No. 9 Iowa State (18-11)
The Golden Gophers are back in the tournament for the first time since 1999. They play solid defense and are led by junior Vincent Griet, who averages more than 18 points a contest. In 2001 the Cyclones lost in the first round as a No. 2 seed. If they can make it past Minnesota, Wayne Morgan's zone defense could give North Carolina major problems.
No. 5 Villanova (22-7) vs. No. 12 New Mexico (26-2)
Kansas fans know how dangerous Villanova can be. Juniors Allan Ray, Curtis Sumpter and Randy Foye each average more than 15 points a game and have the ability to shoot from the outside and attack the basket. New Mexico has played its best basketball since senior forward Danny Granger was back in the lineup. He averages 19 points a game.
The Gators are white-hot right now. Florida destroyed Kentucky in the Southeastern Conference Tournament and is on a seven-game winning streak. Coach Billy
No. 4 Florida (23-7) vs. No. 13 Ohio (21-
10)
Wisconsin led the Big Ten in overall defense by holding opponents to 60 points a game. Northern Iowa will be a challenge in the first round because of its shooting ability. The Bobcats almost defeated Georgia Tech in the first round of last year's tournament.
No. 3 Kansas (23-6) vs. No. 14 Bucknell (22-9)
The Jayhawks have done everything but win it all the past three years. Kansas struggled, winning just three of its last eight games, but is now healthy with both junior forward Christian Moody and senior guard Keith Langford back in the lineup. Bucknell shouldn't be overlooked, though. The Bison play a solid zone defense and held two opponents to less than 40 points in the Patriot League Tournament.
No. 7 Charlotte (21-7) vs. No. 10 North Carolina State (19-13)
Charlotte ended the season with a three-game losing streak. They score only 80 points a game, but only had the 12th best defense in Conference USA. NC State struggled with injuries for most of the year, and the Wolfpack fell to a 10 seed.
No. 6 Wisconsin (22-8) vs. No. 11 Northern Iowa (21-10)
No. 2 Connecticut (22-7) vs. Central Florida (24-8)
Donovan led his team to the NCAA Championship Game in 1999, but has struggled to get out of the first round lately. Ohio hasn't been to the tournament in 11 years, but won the Mid-American Conference Tournament on a last-second shot.
Central Florida is one of the best shooting teams in the tournament (46.5 percent FG and 37.2 from three-point range) and is on an eight-game winning streak after winning the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament. The Huskies can shoot the ball and bang on the inside.

Coach collects 300th career victory

Kansas coach Ritch Price celebrated his 300th career victory at the Division I level yesterday when the Jayhawks dismantled Baker, 16-6.
game Cants the
The Jayhawks (17-8) used a team effort at the plate to put Baker away. The Wildcats hung close early and even jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Kansas came right back to take the lead, built it to 8-4 and never looked back. As far as the 300th victory, Price was happy but took it in stride.

"It just means you've been at it a long time," Price said. "I'm really excited about that. I've been lucky to be associated with a lot of great people over the years."
First baseman Erik Morrison dives to catch a foul ball during the third inning of last night's 16-6 victory against Baker.
Senior catcher Sean Richardson went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a stolen base a day after being named to the
Johnny Bench Award watch list, which recognizes the top catchers in the country. Perhaps that motivated him to step up after struggling at the plate over the past few games.
"I changed my walk-out song today," Richardson said, joking about his decision to walk to the plate to a Pennywise track rather than Sublime. "It's been bugging me the whole year, so I think it was a mental thing."
Price attributed Richardson's big game to other factors.
"I liked his approach a whole lot better today." Price said. "We need him to get it going like that to be a really good ball club."
Junior right fielder AJ. Van Slyke continued his tear through opposing pitchers. He blasted his sixth home run of the season in the third inning, putting him in a tie for second among Big 12 Conference leaders in that category. He ended the day with four RBI.
Baker, and its record fell to 9-12. Baker finished the afternoon with six miscues, leading to eight unearned runs for the Jayhawks. The Wildcats went through five pitchers, with sophomore right-hander Randy Sutcliffe taking the loss on a day where Kansas collected 14 hits.

two innings.
"I was disappointed with the pitching at the start of the game," Price said.
"We left some balls up in the strike zone, and they hit some balls pretty good in the first four innings."
Junior shortstop Ritchie Price said he was not worried about the men on the mound.
The game's lopsided score gave Ritch Price an opportunity to clear the bench, something that he needed to do to prepare for later in the season.
"We've got six or seven guys that we're confident putting on the mound that can get Big 12 hitters out." Price said.
The Jayhawks don't have much time to think about the blowout victory. They will take on the Western Illinois Leathernecks this weekend in a three-game series starting tomorrow in Hoglund Ballpark.

Swimmer surprised at tournament berth

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Three weeks after the Big 12 Conference Championship Swimming and Diving meet in College Station, Texas, sophomore swimmer Jenny Short thought the 2004-05 season was over. She swam NCAA "B" standard times in both of her events, typically not enough to qualify for an invitation to the NCAA Championships.
Had history repeated itself for the fourth year in a row, senior co-captain Amy Gruber would have been the only Jayhawk at the NCAA Championships in West Lafayette, Ind., but this year, the streak came to an end.
After the Big 12 meet and nearly a week of rest and no practice, coach Clark Campbell became nervous when Short's name appeared on an unofficial predictions ros-
Championships on March 3.
Campbell called Short that night and advised her to come to practice on Friday. Campbell told Short there was a strong possibility that she would receive a bid to compete.
At 5 p.m. on March 4, Campbell printed the official rankings. Short placed in the 100-yard backstroke, which
Iris F. Hunt
gave her automatic qualification in the 200 yard backstroke as well.
Gruber
For the first time in her collegiate career, Gruber will have company during the NCAA Championship
For Short, it was an honor to be invited.
Last year at the Big 12 Championships, Short was not even a top-eight finisher. This year, she finished in the top eight in both of her backstroke events.
What sets Short apart from her other teammates is her
swimming history. Most women on the team have swam for as long as they can remember. Short started her swimming career in high school.
"A lot of these girls have swam year-round forever," Short said. She said she only started in high school and since then she swam longcourse in the summer, and club for one year.
Although Short kicked off her career later than her team-mates, she performed as if she'd been swimming her whole life.
"Last year, I had a hard time keeping up with the team." Short said. "We have some talented girls, but I'm doing well his year."
Well is an understatement.
She finished fifth in the 100-
yard backstroke at the Big 12
Championships with a time of 55.39 and clocked in at 2:00.67 in the 200-yard backstroke for seventh place.
Short's time in the 100-yard backstroke is only a hundredth of a second away from the KU record that she will be working to break this weekend at the Championship meet.
The meet begins today and will continue until Friday.
Although Gruber will continue on to the World Championship trials at the beginning of April, Short said she was grateful for one last opportunity to shatter the Kansas 100-yard backstroke record before her sophomore season is over.

McGwire, Canseco to attend hearing
NEW YORK — Mark McGwire plans to comply with a subpoena and attend today's congressional hearing into steroid use in baseball.
McGwire's decision, revealed yesterday by a representative of the former Oakland and St. Louis slugger who spoke on condition of anonymity, made it likely all six subpoenaed players would attend the session on Capitol Hill.
The Associated Press
Less than 24 hours before the start of the highly anticipated hearing, Jose Canseco's request for immunity was denied by the House Government Reform committee, which also revealed that baseball's drug-testing agreement contains a provision that testing would be "suspended immediately" if the government conducts an independent investigation into drug use in baseball.

No.1 team puts titles in the past
INDIANAPOLIS — Illinois spent most of this season staking its claim as the nation's best team.
After winning 32 of 33 games, rolling to Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles and protecting its No.1 ranking for 15 consecutive weeks, Illinois can finally focus on its real mission — winning a national title.
"This is what we've worked for since last year ... to have this opportunity," coach Bruce Weber said. "We've accomplished a lot of things along the way. But at the same time, you're still hungry for more."
No top seed has ever lost to a 16th seed, and whether it's fair or not, Illinois fans expect nothing less than a Final Four run.

Global race to help national pride
MEXICO CITY — An ambitious new global auto racing series unveiled Mexican and Brazilian teams as it displayed the A1 Grand Prix car for the first time in the Americas.
But the success of the venture might have less to do with the sleek open wheeler than with the mariacha blaring traditional music around it. The A1 Grand Prix is all about national pride.
Sheik Maktour Hasher Maktoum, a member of Dubai's ruling family and founder of the series, says he is building "the World Cup of motor sports," a place where national teams battle for pride on an unusually even footing.
Twenty-five countries— ranging from Lebanon to China to the United States— will have one entry apiece, owned and driven by a local competitor and with local sponsors.
"You can't compare us to any other motor sports event on the planet," he said in an interview before unveiling the Mexican car late Monday.

Tigers blow chance for redemption
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The good news for Missouri is there's only player to replace, guard Jason Conley. The bad news is the players that coach Quin Snyder will have back are a frustrating mix: overly reliant on the 3-point shot they hit only sporadically, weak inside and often indifferent on defense.
The Tigers wrapped up another disappointing season with a 75-70 home loss to DePaul in the first round of the NIT, a berth they were lucky to get after a 16-16 regular season. It was their second straight first-round exit in the NIT, and they ended with the school's first losing record since it also went 16-17 in 1996-97.

If you were to bring your mother to one intramural final, the men's greek game would not be a good choice.
The teams and their fans created a rowdy atmosphere in Allen' Fieldhouse for a basketball game that was well-played on both sides, but dominated by Sigma Nu.
Sigma Nu bullied its way to a 60-39 victory against Lambda Chi Alpha last night in Allen Fieldhouse. The victory finished off a tournament where the team dominated its opponents, winning by an average margin of 29. In four of its five playoff games, Sigma Nu won by at least 20.

Lambda Chi never found an answer for Sigma Nu's inside game. The team hit its marks on passes and rarely missed open shots.
but we were able to hit our shots, which helped," said Justin McAuley, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore.
Going into halftime, the Sigma Nu carried a 32-16 lead. The team kept its momentum rolling out of the break, spreading out the court and creating lay-ups inside.
Lambda Chi Alpha responded by attempting to create its own inside game. It were successful for a while, drawing fouls with consistency and converting at the free throw line.

As the half progressed, Sigma Nu began guarding the inside tighter, which led to several blocked shots, including a handful by Richard Briscoe.
"We just played our style, and took advantage of the longer court." Briscoe, Hutchinson
senior, said.
As Sigma Nu became more comfortable playing defense, it triggered a 10-0 run with a series of fast-break points.
With more than ten minutes to play and the game comfortably in hand, Sigma Nu consented to the crowd's demand for dunks and other highlight-reel plays.
Teammates singled out Chris Petitjean, Brookville sophomore, as having the play of the night. He drew a double-team on the fast break, and dished a behind-the-back pass to a teammate who laid the ball in for two easy points.
The victory was the second in a row for Sigma Nu, whose team members said after the game they were just taking care of business.
"It doesn't really feel any different," Briscoe said. "They were both pretty sweet."

Pearson wins men's residence hall title

MEN'S RESIDENCE HALL ROSTERS
Ten physically outmatched guys showed that heart still matters, completing the most improbable of comebacks to bring residence hall bragging rights to Pearson Scholarship Hall in a 46-45 victory over K-Unit, a team made up of Iavahawk Towers residents.
- Matt Lovelady, Bentonville, Ark, sophomore
• C.J. Moore, Shawnee sophomore
• Ryan Cantrell, Shawnee sophomore
• Brett Nelson, Eden Prairie, Minn., sophomore
• Eric Eves, Sublette sophomore
• Bjorn Bodelson, Shawnee junior
• Aaron Nilhas, Wakeeney sophomore
• Nill Murray, Elkhart junior
K-Unit led 23-7 in the first half of the game.
It dominated both the offensive and defensive boards, moving the ball around at will.
After Pearson fell behind, the team started taking ill-advised three-pointers in an attempt to make the game close.
Shawn Atkinson, Hutchinson junior
Brandon Tobias, Osage City senior
Vishal Patel, Wichita junior
Patrick Noble, Overland Park freshman
Jake Deckert, Larned freshman
Matt Unger, St. Louis senior
Nick Pellant, Ottawa freshman

Caleb Knoernschild, Lyndon senior
Chris Janish, Wichita junior
At the halftime break, the Pearson team regrouped and adjusted to the Allen Fieldhouse atmosphere.
"It's a whole different league in here," Pearson player Chris Janish, Wichita junior, said. "But once you get used to it, there's nothing better."
The team rode on Janish's shot at the start of the half. His six points brought the game closer, then teammate Chris Link made it a ballgame again
with five consecutive points.
"We just calmed down and started getting good shots. We quit forcing it," Link, Hutchinson junior, said.
With three minutes to play, Pearson struck again and made it a two-point game.
The team had energy and started playing a high-tempo
offense.
Janish hit a three-pointer at the one-minute mark that cut the K-Unit lead to three.
It proved to be a good strategy for Pearson, as K-Unit went just 1-of-4 from the line in the final minute of the game.
On the offensive possession, Pearson's Link passed up a game-tying three-point attempt and found teammate Shawn Atkinson, Hutchinson junior, inside for a two-point basket.
K-Unit called a timeout, and was fouled immediately on the inbounds pass.
After a foul, K-Unit connected on one of its free throws, giving the team a two-point lead.
Pearson got back quickly on defense and stopped K-Unit on two game-winning attempts.
The team and its fans stormed the court, still in disbelief of the comeback it made.
Pearson won the championship and finished the season with an undefeated 7-0 record. K-Unit finished the year at 4-1.

The victory gave Fresh Theta the women's greek intrumural title and capped off a dominating tournament run. To get to the finals, Theta defeated Delta Gamma, 57-21, and Tri Delta, 64-11.
At the start of the game, it appeared that it was going to be a high-scoring match, but both teams tightened down their defenses, and the officials started calling more fouls, slowing the pace.
Neither team got into foul trouble, but there were still plenty of free throw opportunities. Theta capitalized, going 77 percent from the free throw line as opposed to

Kappa Delta's 50 percent.
Towards the end of the first half, the score stagnated at 11-8, but Theta kept getting the ball to its shooters.
"Even though the shots weren't falling, I thought that we were still pressing them well," Kristi Charlson, Lincoln, Neb., senior, said. "We were still taking the shots we wanted."
The strategy paid off, and

Larson started a Theta run before halftime. She made one threepoint shot and then made another on her team's next possession.
Theta came out of haltime with a 14-11 lead, and Larson took the opportunity to deliver a knockout blow to Kappa Delta. She scored three three-point shots in a two-minute stretch, sparking a 21-3 Theta run.
seven with a series of second- chance baskets and free throws.
Kappa Delta cut the lead to
"They had us running for a little while," Larson said.
Following a time-out at the four-minute mark, the Thetas returned to the airtight defense that earned the lead in the first place. They forced jump balls on two consecutive Kappa Delta possessions and kept scoring down until the final whistle blew.
The victory gives Fresh Theta the championship that it came one game short of winning last year.
It was the most attended of all six intramural finals, with both sororites bringing a bleacherfull of fans and supporters.
The game had a true Allen Fieldhouse feel, with the cheering sections displaying signs, chanting for their teams and getting behind the basket to distract free throw shooters.
"It seemed easier to play in the Fieldhouse," Charlson said. "We were able to spread the ball out, and it was more wide open."
The team took home the championship in a convincing fashion, winning with sharp passing and making enough shots to never fall behind.
Theta's average margin of victory in the playoffs was 33 points.

don't want to do this anymore," he said.
He told Williams to decline the offer for him. After returning to Lawrence in April 2002 from the senior barnstorming tour, for the first time in a very long time, he didn't play any basketball for months. He said he was burnt out.
The first time he picked up a ball again, in an alumni pick-up game at the end of the summer, his first shot was a 10-foot jumper.
Airball.
After the game, Williams told him the Toronto Raptors wanted him to try out at their free agent camp.
"We both kind of looked at each other and started laughing," he said. "We both knew that I was in no shape to compete at that level at that point."
That fall he started practicing with the Jayhawks, running the point for the practice squad. He enrolled in some classes to finish his degree in sports management and had one of the best years of his life, living the careless college life he'd missed out on.
"There was really no stress for me," he said. "If I wanted to go get a beer with some friends or stay
out late, I didn't have to worry about practice the next day."
But when he graduated in Spring 2003, he was done living the life of the average Joe. It was time to get back to basketball.
He caught on with the Kansas Cagerz of the United States Basketball League, which had drafted him the previous year. He played the 10 games remaining on the team's schedule.
The Cagerz put him up in a hotel in Salina and paid him $400 a week. He played OK, considering he hadn't been on a team for a year, and averaged 9.2 points a game.
The next year, he played the full spring season with the Cagerz and did better, averaging 13.2 points a game. One game, he scored 38.
He drew the attention of Panellinios, a team from Athens, Greece. The team offered him a one-year deal reportedly worth $80,000. Boschee eagerly signed, and in August he landed in Europe full of hope.
Culture shock
Having never been outside of North America before, the small-town boy from Valley City, N.D., was excited to go to what some call one of the most beautiful cities in the world to play basketball.
But he was in for a culture shock. When he got to his apartment there was no TV, no phone and none of his appliances plugged into European outlets. He didn't know anybody. Hardly anyone spoke English.
Homesick, he called his parents every day, racking up $5,000 in phone bills from T-Mobile.
The team left for a ski resort to train before the season started, and on the third day Boschee sprained his ankle. He couldn't play the remaining three weeks the team spent there. Instead, they put him through a grueling workout regimen that included hours on the stationary bike and in the swimming pool with a heart monitor strapped on, beeping at him if his heart rate fell below 140 beats per minute.
"It was hell," he said.
He went to the doctor, who discovered cysts growing on both his hip sockets, with the left one leaking fluid into his hip. When the coach and general manager found out, they scheduled a meeting with Boschee and told him he was off the team.
When the team returned to Athens, an old hip injury that had bothered him for years flared up. He thinks the team's two-hour practices twice a day had something to do with it.
recommendation. He circled former Kansas guard Ryan Robertson and gladly flew back to America in October 2004.
Before he left, they showed him a list of possible replacements and asked him to make a
Bad return
He was soon playing in Kansas City with the Knights of the American Basketball Association.
Bosche quickly grew tired of the team's antics, which ranged from not paying him on time to having women pole dance behind each basket.
When the Icelandic team Grindavik asked him to play the remainder of the season with them, he decided he'd rather take another chance overseas than finish the year with the Knights.
He's still mad about what happened next. He told the Knights he wouldn't be playing in the Feb. 5 game, which was two days before he was leaving town. But they told him that if he didn't play, they wouldn't grant him his release. So he played.
Turned out he didn't need a release from the Knights.
He's having a much easier time than he had in Greece. Most people speak English, and his former Kansas teammate Nick Bradford is playing in the nearby town of Keflavik.
Traveling man
"That whole situation just really set me off," he said.
"It is very Americanized here." he said.
So now he's back overseas finishing the season with Grindavik as a hired hand. The team is in the middle of the Icelandic league playoffs now.
He doesn't have to worry about another outrageous phone bill. His girlfriend found a phone plan with AT&T that only costs nine cents a minute. Out of curiosity, he looked up how much the plan costs in Greece, and it was seven cents a minute.
"You can only imagine how I felt after seeing how much money I could have saved," he said.
When he comes back home, he plans to start a basketball academy for kids. He says he got the idea from former Kansas guard Rex Walters, who used to have one in Overland Park.
Beyond that, he's just going to keep playing wherever he can.
"My long-term goals are to play as long as either my body can take it or as long as I don't get sick of all the traveling," he said.
Anyone who knows kids who might be interested in Boschee's basketball academy can send him an e-mail at jboschee_13@yahoo.com.

Norwegian wins second Iditarod
DOGSLEDDING
NOME, Alaska — Norway's Robert Sorlie won the Iditarod yesterday, overcoming insomnia and a dwindling dog team for his second victory in only three tries.
Sorlie finished the race with eight dogs — half the number he started the race with, but the same number that took him to victory two years ago.
This year's run was only the third time Sorlie had made the 1,100-mile trip from Anchorage to Nome, a town of 3,500 at the edge of the frozen Bering Sea. In his first showing, in 2002, he finished ninth, setting a rookie record. He won the race in 2003.
"I think this win is better than the 2003," he said. "This year, the dogs are better."
This time, Sorlie grabbed the lead early. The owner of a small kennel, he fended off a strong field that included seasoned veterans and five other Iditarod champions.
"It feels good," Sorlie said.
"I am ready for breakfast."
The Associated Press
BASEBALL
Sorlie, a 47-year-old firefighter, crossed under the arch that serves as the finish line at 8:39 a.m., winning the 1,100-mile race across Alaska in nine days, 18 hours, 39 minutes and 31 seconds.
Royals' Sweeney back in the game
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Kansas City Royals got some encouraging signs on two frons yesterday in a 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Mike Sweeney, who missed the previous five games with soreness in his right oblique, returned to the lineup and went 1-for-4 with a double and struck out.
"I feel great," said Sweeney, a four-time All-Star. "I've never felt better. I'm hoping to keep this up for a full season, all the way through October."
Sweeney has missed considerable time the past two seasons with back injuries but said the soreness in his side was not related.
Zack Greinke, 0-1 with a 19.64 earned run average in his first two outings, pitched three 2-3 shutout innings, allowing just a single to Jermaine Dye.

Rams, Pace sign for seven more years

Pace
Orlando Pace will play on more than a one year contract.
Louis Rams and the sixtime Pro Bowl offensive tackle beat a looming deadline yesterday.
agreeing on a seven-year, $52.9 million deal.
The Rams had faced a 3 p.m. CST deadline to re-sign Pace, who visited the Houston Texas on Monday and Tuesday to discuss a possible deal. Had the Rams failed to re-sign Pace by the deadline, the sides couldn't have signed a contract until July 15.
Kelly Hutsel/KANSAN
The Rams have used their franchise player designation on Pace since 2003, allowing them to keep him with a series of one-year contracts that paid him the average of the NFL's highest-paid offensive tackles. Pace made $7.02 million last season.
season.
Pace's deal includes $18 million in first-year salary and signing bonus and is comparable with the contracts of Walter Jones of the Seahawks and Jonathan Ogden of the Ravens, two other premier tackles with whom Pace is compared.
Pace was the first overall pick in the 1997 draft, making him the first lineman to go that high in 30 years. The 6-foot-7, 325-pound tackle has played his entire career in St. Louis and he's the first Rams lineman to earn six straight Pro Bowl berths since Jackie Slater also earned six in a row from 1985-90.

Mark Wells, Garden City freshman, swings at a ball Tuesday afternoon at Robinson Courts. The courts, just across Nalsmith Drive from Allen Fieldhouse, are open to the public when not in use by the tennis team.
If Kansas is to be successful, the run better not be Gary Green's last touchdown.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
Kansas coach Mark Mangino was confident that, while the freshman is certainly raw, Gary Green is going to bring excitement to the football team.
It wasn't exactly a perfect day for Gary Green, though. In fact, the 30-yard tear was the highlight of a generally average offensive performance. Mangino said that everywhere he had coached, the offense came together after the defense.
Kealing
"He's learning, he's just a red-shirt freshman, but he's gaining confidence every day. I'm really pleased with his progress," Mangino said. "He is a very conscientious guy. Nobody works harder than him and nobody wants to do better than he does."
Several times, Gary Green let a ball slip through his hands or simply didn't break to the outside. It was pretty clear, though, that he has a lot of potential.
His teammates seem confident in him as well.
"I compare him a lot to Darren Sproles." Floodman said, likening Green to the former Kansas State back. "He's a smaller back and is just very elusive."
Sproles was touted as an All-American candidate this season, but he disappointed in several games, failing to rush anywhere near his previous season's average in several games this season. If Gary Green can develop into the type of back Sproles was during his first three years and should have been last season, Kansas won't even break stride with the loss of Randle.
Going into last season, Mangino was fond of saying that his team had so many quality running backs, there weren't enough balls in practice for them. With the loss of Randle, it's time for Mangino to prove that he's recruited enough talent to be able to absorb the loss of a major contributor.

Houston loses last game of season
WICHITA -- Jamar Howard scored 21 points and Kyle Wilson added 20 to lead Wichita State past Houston 85-69 in the opening round of the NIT last night.
The Shockers (21-9) finished the game on a 19-3 run to win for just the third time in nine games.
Randy Burns had 16 points and Sean Ogirri chipped in 14 for Wichita State, which will play either Kent State or Western Kentucky.
Andre Owens scored a season-high 33 to lead the Cougars (18-14, 9-7 Conference USA). Ramon Dyer added 14 points.
Houston took a 36-34 lead into halftime. The Cougars shot 53 percent (14-26) in the first half. The Shockers shot 52 percent (10-19) in the half.
The Shockers opened the second half on a 10-3 run, capped by Burns' 3, to take a 44-39 lead. The teams traded baskets, with Wichita State taking a 52-51 lead with 13:15 remaining.
Wilson scored the next seven points, including a three-point play, to give Wichita State a 59-51 lead with 11:34 to play.

The Cougars responded, going on a 15-5 run to take a 66-64 lead with 6:10 to play.

Appalachian State fills open date
The Kansas football team filled the open date on its schedule. The team will face Appalachian State on Sept. 10 in Memorial Stadium, coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday.
mangino appeared content with the decision yesterday.
Appalachian State, a Division I-AA school, could be an problem for the Jayhawks' bowl hopes next season. Because the Jayhawks included a I-AA victory in 2003, they are unable to count a victory against a I-AA school toward a bowl game until 2007. This will require the Jayhawks to win six games besides the Appalachian State contest.
"You got to do what you got to do, and we will be prepared to play them all," Mangino said in response to making it more difficult for the team to qualify for a bowl next season.
The Jayhawks will begin the season Sept. 3 against Florida Atlantic, Sept. 10 against Appalachian State and Sept. 17 against Louisiana Tech. All three games will be played at Memorial Stadium.
The Jayhawks will then go on the road for the next two contests playing against Texas Tech Oct. 1 and Kansas State Oct. 8.
On Oct. 15, the Jayhawks will play in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., against Oklahoma. This game was originally to be played at Memorial Stadium but was moved last fall.
The team will play at Colorado on Oct. 22 and then play in Memorial Stadium against Missouri and Nebraska on Oct. 29 and Nov. 5.
The final two games of the season will be at Texas on Nov. 12 and against Iowa State in Memorial Stadium on Nov. 19.

Senators to advocate gay rights

DASKN STAFF WRITE
Student Senate has taken a stance on gay marriage and wants the student body to adopt the same position.
Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night urging students to vote against the gay marriage ban because it threatens students' rights. In a debate that lasted nearly 90 minutes, Nick Sterner, Shawnee junior and off-campus senator, began the argument by submitting a resolution that students vote against the gay marriage amendment.
"This is not about personal ideology," Sterner said. "It is

Student Voice faces charges
ELECTIONS CODE

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Lucas Thompson, elections commission chair, filed two complaints that Web sites maintained by Student Voice contained libelous statements about KUnited. The coalition pled not guilty to the two libel-related offenses.
Michael Diaz, elections commissioner, filed a complaint against the coalition for failing to submit campaign flyers of its platform by the due date, which was 5 p.m. the day after it announced its platform to the student body.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
The commission voted unanimously that Student Voice was guilty of libel and breaking a campaign rule, but the commission dropped the charges from serious to significant.
Student Voice pled no contest to the complaint because it was a misunderstanding of the procedure on its part.
The commission charged Student Voice with libel for statements about KUnited's position on the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Differential Tuition proposal and increasing student fees. The first libel offense was in relation to information posted on the coalition's Xanga Web site, www.xanga.com/studentvoice05.
Buildings unaccessible
Members of the Student Voice Coalition stood before the University of Kansas Elections Commission for violations of the Elections Code in a hearing at 4:30 p.m. yesterday.

CAMPUS BUILDING VIOLATIONS
Rachel Magaria has to make a mental map of several of the buildings on campus. It helps her know where she is while she taps her way from point to point with her walking stick.
"If that girl hadn't yelled at me, I would have fallen right into that six foot hole," Magario said.
The maps have worked for the Brazilian graduate student for the most part. But sometimes changes in her routes can be dangerous. A couple of years ago, a stranger's warning was the only thing that prevented her from falling into a maintenance hole.

Students at the University of Kansas Medical Center want to improve the student health center. But those improvements may cost them.
A group of student representatives met with Dorothy Knoll, dean of students, to solve problems for a resource relied on more and more by students.
As the Med Center has grown complaints of under-staffing and insufficient services at the health center have persisted.
"It seems like a closet compared to Watkins, but we're pretty proud of our center," Knoll said.
The students will propose a student health fee plan to the student governing council April 6.
If approved, the fee change would go into effect in Fall 2005.
Student health services at the Med Center were paid entirely through student fees. The University pays only for maintenance and utilities, Knoll said.
Currently, the amount a student pays in health fees depends on credit hours. Students who take less than six credit hours pay less than the $138 those taking more than six credit hours pay.
The increase would add $41.41 to the fee.Because the Med Center only has 1,700 students,it doesn't have as large a group to pull fees from like the Lawrence campus, Knoll said.
changes. All students will pay the amount paid by those taking six credit hours or more and a 30 percent fee increase will also be suggested.
The proposal calls for two
Leveling the field for other students was one of the goals of the proposal, Heather Hoelting, Shawnee nursing student representative, said.
Nursing students don't use the student health center as much as other students, she said.
"There were graduate students who take less than six hours and felt like they should be paying more for how much they use the health center," Hoetling said.
All student representatives said a fee increase was necessary. Determining how much to increase it by was a different story.
Increased fees would allow students more control of their health care and provide better services, Kevin McIntire, Atlanta, Ga., allied health graduate student representative, said.

Editor's Note
P.
Ahhh – spring break. Sweeter words were never spoken. Relaxing by the beach, hanging out in a hotel room with your friends, tropical evenings surrounded by wildly attractive, half-naked people, or at least that's the way I picture everyone else's spring breaks. So far mine have been spent picking up extra work shifts for vacationing co-workers. It makes it really fun to hear classmates recounting tales of steamy nights with cold drinks when all I have to share is the week's inventory reports.
This year, however, I'm going to New York with my mom. We probably won't have sun or sand, but we will be able to spend some much needed time together in a fabulous city. The trip won't be entirely pleasure; I'll be doing interviews to try to eke out a spot in the workforce for when I graduate in May. And my mom doesn't know yet, but we're staying at a one-star hotel that's practically in Harlem. At least I won't be working there.
Inside
But for those of you who won't be leaving Lawrence, or spending all of your time covering others' shirts, check out "Stuck in the Middle" on page 17 for advice on having an exciting vacation without going out of the area. If you're traveling by car, look for "Hit the Road, Jack" on page six and get your vehicle up to par. And for car-time munchies that won't make you sick, flip to page four's "Greaseless Grab & Go." No matter where you're going, if you're going to be in close quarters with friends for the week, you'll need a plan to survive. So make sure to read "When Tension Mounts" on page six.
mhuber@kansan.com
And if my mom and I survive our vacation in the cheap hotel in an unfamiliar neighborhood, I too will have some stories to tell. I hope it will be that I got a job.

When tension mounts
How to avoid fights with your spring break
Driving
Driving 21 hours with four friends to Florida in a less than midsize car, sharing a hotel room with two beds and five other people — these are some of the sacrifices college students are willing to make to have a perfect spring break. Unfortunately, this nine-day vacation can turn more into an inescapable nightmare when you and your travel companions become less than friendly with one another. Here are some tips on how to not kill your friends while traveling with them.
Pre-vacation check
Talking about the trip in detail beforehand can help prevent fights during the vacation, says Stephanie Coleman, branch manager of STA Travel in the Kansas Union. Coleman says being as organized as possible can help eliminate stress during break. This includes not only making a list of all the clothes you're bringing but making a document folder that holds your passport, vouchers, airline tickets and tineries. Once you have yourself organized, Coleman recommends having a group meeting about the trip. Discuss what you have a mutual interest in doing, Coleman says. Make sure everyone actually wants to go to the bars every night — don't just make the assumption. Another way to avoid tension during your trip is to discuss money beforehand. How will you handle cab fare? Will you split it each time? Will you take turns? What if one ride costs more than another? Coleman says knowing these things ahead of time can help avoid fights.
Vacation time
For Overland Park sophomore Chelsea Dutton, there weren't problems with the spring break organizing, her problems came while she was in Mexico last break. Dutton went with two of her friends, who were fighting with one another the majority of the time. Dutton says she felt as though she was constantly being put in the middle of the fight. What started out as constant bickering between them turned ugly when one friend said it was time to go out to dinner. Dutton says she got up to go, but the other girl just lay on the bed and said she wasn't hungry. From there they started arguing about whether or not they would all go to dinner, which eventually led to the nonhungry girl being dragged off the bed and out of the hotel room by Dutton's other friend, locking her out of the room. The entire incident was surreal, Dutton says, she tried not to take sides during the trip.
While it may be easier to not take sides or bottle up your feelings during a fight, Dana Williams, CAPS psychology intern, says that's not the best way to handle a fight. "Don't swallow your feelings — be honest with them." Williams says. If you're upset about anything, talk to your friends about it and don't antagonize it further, she says. Fights are common while traveling with friends for a variety of reasons, Williams says. Traveler's anxiety levels are higher because they are eating and sleeping differently, plus with large amounts of alcohol sometimes added in an unstable environment can be created.
What's the most annoying thing a friend can do while traveling with them?

How we met
Chintan Modha & Sumintha Nagarajan
Chintan Modha, Overland Park junior, met Sumitra Nagarajan, Overland Park junior, at a mutual friend's birthday party. After being introduced to Nagarajan and her roommate, Modha made the common mistake of asking Nagarajan if she and her roommate were twins. Nagarajan and her roommate laughed at Modha for his stupidity because both were different ages, born in different countries and were not related at all. Later that night, Modha apologized and both laughed off the incident and became friends. Now, both see each other occasionally at the library or at parties. But Modha admits that he still confuses Nagarajan for her roommate sometimes.

Try these easy-to-make ideas to save money and eat healthy while on the road this spring break
By Britta Florman, Jayplay writer
ag
You're
cruising down the highway to your spring break destination and everyone's starting to get hungry. Don't look to the golden arches when you can tap into a trunk-full of delicious food options. Stock up on a variety of food and create your own healthy meals on the road. If you skip the sketch, in the middle-of-nowhere restaurant your body will thank you, and you'll save your cash.
thank you, and may
You must plan ahead if you are relying on your own food for meals. Eating from your car is a challenge, but with advice from experienced road-trippers you can pack food that will sustain your energy and help you avoid drive-through fast food and the omni-present gas station food.
A Road Pro
Jenny Wurtz, Topea senior, knows what food works for eating in the car. An experienced food-independent traveler, Wurtz says she almost always makes her own meals from food she packs. For the basics, Wurtz suggests bringing rice cakes, hummus, a bag of baby carrots, a
jar of applesauce, spinach leaves, avocado and sardines (her boyfriend eats them on rice cakes). Wurtz's favorite filling treat is the Oregon Trail mix - it has dark chocolate chips—from the Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St.
This spring break, Wurtz plans to head to a currently unknown destination in the southwest.
Gourmet To-Go
Another food-savvy traveler, Megan Boledovich, Naperville, Ill., sophomore, suggests preparing a basic pasta salad for the road. The day before you leave, cook some pasta, rinsing with cold water after draining. In a large plastic container, combine the noodles with chopped onion, green or red pepper, carrot or celery. Throw in some olives for more flavor. Drizzle with salad dressing—Boledovich suggests Italian dressing—and shake well. Keep in the cooler, and add spinach leaves for an easy salad. This easy-to-make dish will add zest to the abundance of raw foods that you'll be consuming.
Tuna salad is another easy option for a protein-packed, flavorful meal. In a plastic
container combine a pack of tuna, one or two mayonnaise packs from a gas station (if you accidentally forget to bring mayo), a handful of dried cranberries and some apple slices. This tuna salad is good alone or on bread.
One more suggestion: if you're a java-junkie or coffee-craver, a French press coffee maker could be your best friend on the road. To save yourself from stale, gas pressure, bring a French press and ground coffee beans. You only need to add boiling water. For more information see fantes.com/french_press.htm.
Take advantage of the warmer weather during spring break; jump in the car and head...anywhere. Just make sure your car is stocked with some whole foods to sustain your energy and help you steer clear of scary fast food restaurants. Save money and stay healthy!

Stock Your Car:
Loaf of bread
Pre-sliced cheese
Fruit — apples, oranges and bananas
Peanut butter — make sandwiches with sliced banana
Packs of tuna (not the kind you need a can opener for, unless you are bringing one)
Dried cranberries
Spillover
A pack of Seitan — like beef jerky, but softer, and made from soybeans
Packs of yogurt
Several gallons of water
Salad dressing
Spinach
— Fill used plastic bottles two-thirds with water and freeze. Use as huge ice cubes and avoid a watery mess in your cooler.
Tips to stay cool
- Pack your cooler items in reusable plastic containers to keep out moisture. Also use them to combine foods like a spinach salad or turkey salad.

Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe 845 Massachusetts St.
Penny Annie's makes anyone feel like the quintessential "kid in the candy store." The décor has 1950s memorabilia with oldies music playing in the background. The sweet selections send sugar lovers into saccharine heaven but are balanced with more filling options such as sandwiches and salads.
Date-worthiness: Yes! This would be an original idea for an afternoon date. Instead of grabbing a cup of coffee, why not grab a bag of candy?
Price range: Get an assortment of candy for about $1.50 a quarter-pound or try the sandwiches, salads and other non-sweet alternatives range from about $3 to $5. Flavored popcorn is $6.50 a gallon and a fresh made drink costs about $1.
Food type: The shop prides itself on many fresh and homemade items such as their fudge, shakes and malts, lineades and soda floats. Becky Bowers, co-owner of the store, is especially proud of their popcorn, which is made the old-fashioned way with homemade caramel and cinnamon. You can also pick from a menu of non-sugary munchies such as a BLT sandwich, salads or enchiladas.
Booze availability; None, but you can still get a sugar buzz from all of the sweets.
Attire requirements: Casual. A truffle may sound fancy but you don't need to be dressed up to eat one.
Easter Eatings: Bowers says the store is very popular for Easter candy shopping, so stop by and check out the chocolates and other candies for the holiday.

Kansas produces more than just wheat. For some KU students, life in the middle of tornado alley couldn't be more perfect.
By Robert Perkins, Jayplay writer
Spring
Spring is in the air. The birds are chirping, the grass is green and the flowers are blooming. It all means one thing: Tornado season is approaching, and Darin Tornado couldn't be happier.
Brunin, a Rossville sophomore in meteorology, is the kind of guy who runs to his car instead of to the basement when tornado sirens wall. He's a storm chaser. Along with about 10 other KU students and Lawrence residents, he spends his spring roaming the Great Plains in search of storms, particularly storms with tornadoes.
Brunin's love for storms began on April 26, 1991—he can rattle off the date without hesitation. That spring day he saw a small tornado pass by his house and has been fascinated by them ever since. He started chasing toward the end of his high school career and has been doing it ever since. Last year he went on 14 chases, spotting a photographically confirmed nine tornadoes. His average is pretty good, considering how difficult finding a tornado can be.
"It's not like Twister," Brunin says. "You
cannot just turn a corner on a road and have a tornado there." Chases can last for hours or even days, and spotting a tornado is never guaranteed.
It's still exciting, but not for the reasons that most people think. He and fellow chaser Stuart Manning say that their real drive to chase doesn't come from the adrenaline rush that being in harm's way can provide, but from their fascination with storms. Manning, Washington senior, says that he likes the challenge of trying to find the storms and get in the right position to see them clearly. Brunin, on the other hand, says he is captivated by the machine-like complexity of storms. Both say that storm chasers' potential to save lives by warning news stations of tornadoes 'whereabouts also helps.
While Brunin doesn't make any money from his chasing, which can cost him $40 to $60 per charge (he avoids staying in hotels to save some cash), he does have a deal with the television station, WIBW in Topeka to get reimbursed for his gas money if he provides them with footage of tornadoes.
Veteran chaser Roger Hill, 47, of Denver

Photos contributed by Darin Brunin
is one of the lucky few who manages to make most of his living from storm chasing. He co-owns Silver Lining Tours, a storm chasing tour company. Ten times a year, Hill takes a van with 15 people in it—who have each paid between $270 and $350 per day to be there—on a chase.
It may seem like a lot of money to pay for something that you might not even get to see, but his record of finding storms is good. Right now, Hill is in the process of providing evidence to the Guinness Book of World Records to prove that he holds the record for most tornadoes seen in one year: 51 in 2004. He's seen 241 in his lifetime.
Storm chasing started with a man named Roger Jensen, Hill says, who chased his first storm during the summer of 1953 in North Dakota. Tim Marshall, editor of *Stormtrack magazine*, says Jensen was a pioneer for the hobby who took about 8,000 slides of storms before he passed away on April 26, 2001. Since the summer of '53, the number of storm chasers has grown to somewhere
between 7,000 and 10,000 nationwide, Hill estimates. The hobby grew steadily during the '80s and '90s before exploding in popularity following the release of the 1996 movie Twister.
Although the notoriety from Twister and subsequent interest in storm chasing was not intrinsically a bad thing, many chasers have been quick to point out the problems it has generated. With so many more people on the roa in a storm, some predict that the government might be forced to step in and regulate chasing. It seems especially likely after an incident in Mulvane on June 12 last year in which a collection of storm chasers' vehicles blocked emergency vehicles from reaching tornado-damaged homes.
Another problem is the inherent increase in the number of so-called "yahoo's" to the scene. Yahoo are chasers who do stupid and dangerous things like driving too fast on wet pavement or getting too close to a tornado. With the sheer quantity of chasers - yahoo's and otherwise - on the road, Hill says he's surprised that there
haven't been a bunch of deaths. In fact, to date there has been only one documented death of a chaser in the field, which occurred when an Oklahoma meteorology student hydroplaned during the '80s. But Hill says it only a matter of time.
"It's going to happen soon," Hill says. "I thought sure it was going to happen this year, but we got luck."
The dangerous nature of the hobby is part of the reason that Donna Tucker, associate professor of geography, discouraged the student chaperun Brinun from starting a KU storm chasing club. There had been a club during the late '80s to early '90s, but there was an incident in which a girl was hit and severely hurt by lightning. Eventually, the club broke up. Tucker says she advised Brinun not to do a club through the University to avoid potential lawsuits should an injury occur.
There are ways to minimize the risks of storm chasing. Hill suggests four things: get storm-spotter training from the National Weather Service, read up on the subject — there's plenty of information on
the Internet, go with someone experienced for your first few times and "for God's sake, don't get under an overpass in a storm." (At this point he's referring to popular footage of amateur storm chasers escaping a tornado by ducking under an overpass, though it was sheer luck that they survived. Overpasses actually increase wind speeds by forcing the wind into a tighter area. Three people who thought an overpass would save them from an approaching tornado died under one on May 3, 1999). Hill also says that carpooling would be a good way to minimize the excessive number of chase vehicles on the road.
In the end, storm chasing will always be a dangerous past time but a worthwhile one as well, Brunin says. And by doing what he loves - following and watching storms - he hopes to be in a position to help save lives this spring.

Before Britney's "Ooop! ...I Did It Again," there were the Bugles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" and Run-DMC's "Walk This Way." Before shows like Newlyweds; Nick and Jessica and My Super Sweet 16, there were Singled Out, Beavis & Butthead and Daria. Most of us were a twinkle in our parents' eyes when MTV first went on air in 1981, but a lot of us grew up on it. Now, in 2005, we are the neglected children of MTV, and teens and twens' have become the new favorites.
But in October 2002, MTV acquired CTN, the College Television Network, and began transforming it into what is now known as mtvU, a spin-off dedicated entirely to college students and their interests. Since its official launch in January 2004, mtvU has spread to more than 700 campuses nationwide, including Kansas State University, Wichita State University and, soon, the University of Missouri-
Columbia. Stephen Friedman, general manager of mvU, says it's available for free to any university that requests it, thanks to advertising from big companies such as Procter & Gamble. Campuses can include it on their residence-hall cable networks and in common areas such as student unions and cafeterias (Mrs. E's, anyone?). It hasn't come to the University of Kansas yet because we haven't asked for it. Ahh, the power of student voice.

with the power of music. MtvU seems to fill the void MTV has created for us in the past few years. Music videos are the network's foundation, and the video playlists—with names like Dean's List, their version of TRL, The Cut and Freshman Videos—are created almost exclusively from college playlists and independent labels. The network airs videos for a majority of the day; all hours of the night—"Music videos to keep you jamming while you're cramming"—and nearly every daytime programming slot,

with the exception of six and a half hours interspersed throughout the day. Those slots are filled with original shows such as Stand In, which features famous artists such as Nas and Marilyn Manson who take over a classroom to teach. The network also airs reruns of old MTV favorites such as Road Rules and The Tom Green Show.
Jess Leggett, a 25-year-old graduate student at St. Louis University, watches mtvU a few days a week, when she's passing by TVs on campus or flipping through channels in her apartment. She says watching mtvU is a sort of "give and take." The programming is still geared toward the younger college student, but she watches the music videos and reruns of shes she started watching in her undergraduate years. "I like that exposes us to other bands besides what's on MTV or VH1—out of the mainstream," she says. "I see a lot of smaller bands that aren't too major labels and don't get a lot of promotion."
MtvU may be of reverting back to the old ways of MTV, when the network was a pioneer on the music scene rather than a follower of what's already hot, says Roberta Schwartz, assistant professor of historical musicology. During its first decade, MTV was responsible for bringing hip-hop into the mainstream with Yol MTV Rap$, as well as heavy metal with Headbangers' Ball. But aside from its influence on listening trends, Schwartz says MTV was groundbreaking because until its creation, there was really no such thing as a music video. It revolutionized television for an entire generation; she
says it created an identity for Generation X. She says today's MTV, which places its emphasis on programming, is a result of the novelty of music videos wearing off.
As for mvtU: "Will they get back to playing videos? Yes. Will they have the same impact? I don't think they can," she says.
Defining a generation the way MVT did may not be possible for mvtU, but Friedman, general manager, says he can still try to understand its audience. But he says he doesn't pretend to know what college students want to see on a network dedicated to their interests. He's 35-years-old and graduated from college more than a decade ago. Still, the network claims to have its finger on the pulse of college students. This knowledge comes from a mass of on-campus interns and traveling, fresh-out-of-college VJs who report back to the corporate staff on their target audience: what's in their stereos, what they're doing outside of class, even what causes they're supporting. Friedman says the network tries to stay relevant to college students by getting constant input from the interns and directly from viewers. He calls college students trendsetters who are always "ahead of the curve" and that their openness to new things is reflected in mvtU's programming. "We worship at the altar of our audience."

Q
Sand doesn't go there!
I was talking with this girl I like and she asked me about one of my friends and if he was cool. I kinda got the feeling she was interested in him, which would suck. Or am I just overreacting?
a
Jeff, junior
**Chris:** It all depends on the tone and context of the conversation, but I think when a girl you like girl starts asking you about your friends, especially the handsome ones, your chances of hooking up with her start looking pretty bad. Don't give up yet, but don't let yourself get stuck being just friends with a girl you like just so she can get you to set her up with him. That's not good for your soul. Painful stuff.
Jessi! I think it sucks and you're overreacting. There are plenty of other girls who'll go for you and—get this—they won't give a damn about your friend! To get over your feelings for her, ask yourself, "Why like someone who doesn't like me?" Works every time.
Q
Sometimes I am like to surprises my guy by stopping by without telling him I'm coming, is this rude or am I OK?
a
-Kaitlin,Junior
Jessi: Unless you're stalking him or trying to catch him in the act of something, I think unannounced visits are fine 'n dandy for those who enjoy surprises. If you're with someone who doesn't go for spontaneity, then I'd withhold the random visit.
**Chris:** Assume it's rude until he does it to you. That will never hap pen, because it's sneaky and rude.
a
Q
I set spring break I have having really hot sex on the beach with a guy I met, but a few days later, I got a really bad infection from the sand. Is there something I can do to keep this from happening a second time? Sandy. senthannone
**Chris:** Are you sure it was just from the sand? Do you hear that sound? It sounds like an unknown case of the clap! Get it, clap, sound, get it!
Jessi: So you got "sandy-giny disease." That's a mega-bummer, especially on spring break. Sand in your naughty parts is unhealthy because it has the ability to not only tear the condom, but also cause tiny abrasions in your vagina or burnhole, predisposing you to infection and STDs. Although sex on the beach is a darling idea in theory, it's really a pain in the ass... literally.

someone, so she wasn't really looking for a relationship, but exchanged messages with a few other members just to meet new people. One member's profile in particular struck her interest because of his interests in sports such as snowboarding — not to mention, he was cute as well, she says. So, Stephanie decided to send him a message and the chatting began.
After several months of talking online, and after Stephanie broke up with her boyfriend, both decided that it was time to move the relationship status from online to in person. Stephanie recalls that he picked her up from her house and they had dinner at JB Stouts early January. The date went well and both have been dating since.
Derek Ralston, Baldwin City, junior, says he felt the need for a local dating service and launched Datekansas.com in January 2004. College students are too busy to get into long distance relationships, says Ralston, a business major. With sites like eHarmony.com and other services, people don't have that guarantee that the person they meet with be in close proximity.
has proximity.
Datekansas.com is prominently marketed toward KU students but all Kansas residents are welcome to join. The site currently has 500 members with the majority being KU students.
Datekansas.com is a free service, so there is not charge for contacting another member as in most other sites. The site benefits students looking for long-term relationships or just friends.
DateKansas.com and most all online dating sites work in a similar manner. Each site requires you to fill out its personality profile before you begin searching. The personality profiles ask for your basic information such as age, gender and sexual preference, and then asks detailed questions about your characteristics and what you are wanting in a partner. You set up a user name separate from your first name or e-mail address, and from there, you can search profiles of singles locally or nationally. Dating services will even send you profiles of people that they think you may be compatible with. The browsing is free, but you have to pay a membership fee to contact other members. No need to worry about privacy either. Online dating services withhold your entire name and all of your contact information. All online sites maintain the anonymity of members. If you choose to e-mail a potential date through a service, it is done on a double blind system, so all a person sees is your user name. That way, a person can move at his or her own pace before giving out any personal information.
And, "size does matter," says Kristen Kelly, who is a spokeswoman for Match.com.
Match.com, close to celebrating its 10 year anniversary, prides itself on being the largest and oldest dating site internationally with 15 million singles.
Kelly says that people in their 20s have lifestyles that are better geared toward online dating. With the Internet playing such a large role in this generation's world, meeting people online just seems natural.
Match.com works like most other dating services.You create a profile, which contains detailed closed and open-ended
A personality profile shouldn't shy you away from meeting that certain someone. Kristen Kelly, spokeswoman for Match.com, gives tips to a profile makeover.
Profile Phobia
2. A well-written profile will most likely be viewed more than others, so take the time to spell check.
1. First off, the profile needs to express who YOU are.
3. Try to avoid clichés such as "hot stud seeks love muffin." Don't be cheesy either.
4. Be honest and upfront with issues that are important to you like religion.
5. If you have children, be sure to put that in as well.
6. Ask your friends and family what they admire about you if you are having trouble filling out the personality profile.
7. It's okay to say nice things about yourself. Just don't kill yourself with kindness.
8. Humor and wit is always a good thing.
9. Add a picture.Having a picture gives you a 20 percent greater chance of having your profile viewed.
questions. It asks for your likes and dislikes, and specifically what you're specifically looking for in a partner. So, you control the whole profile you would like to see Kelly says. *Match.com* can send compatible matches your way as often as you would like be it on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The site also allows you to do your own searches based on geography, age or even hair color.
A range of even hair colour. What's different about eHarmony is that it's in the dating industry but not quite a dating service. Joe Zink, public relations manager for eHarmony.com, describes it as a "relationship service." eHarmony also has a distinct way of helping singles meet. The site matches people through a 29 personality dimension patented system. eHarmony takes the 436 question personality profile and turns it into a mathematical algorithm where certain questions dispersed throughout the profile are grouped into categories. Based on the answers to those categories, eHarmony.com pairs you with someone who has similar choices.
But, efharmony.com is not the best site for college students unless they are seeking long-term relationships. In fact, singles must be 21 or older to become a member. About 5 percent of eHarmony.com's members fall into the 21-to-24 age range. Zink does suggest that college students who are looking for serious relationships to try eHarmony.com to see if it's right for them because the profile is free and the matching is free. You only pay if you decide to start writing someone
Not everyone will have success with online dating though. Liz, Lawrence senior, doesn't think that online dating is a bad way to meet people, but she feels that it's just not right for her. After she set up an account with eHarmony.com after her friends suggested she should try it. At first, Liz didn't feel that the matches eHarmony.com found for her reflected her personality. After a few weeks, however, Liz found a match that she felt she had a lot in common with. After talking for two weeks, both felt the connection was strong enough and decided to meet. The date went well and Liz never heard from him again. She could find no explanation for him not calling after the date, but it was

General safety tips to keep in mind while online:
"Use common sense when dating someone online. You wouldn't give your information out to a stranger, so why do it online."
"If you are using a campus or public computer, be sure to always log off of your account to prevent others after you to access the personal information in your online dating account."
"Make it a practice to talk to a person several times online before handing out personal contact information. Don't give out more information than you have to."
Jenny Mehmedovic, coordinator of Information Technology policy & planning at the University of Kansas
"If you are meeting someone in person for the first time, makes sure someone knows where you are before you go."
—Derek Relston,
Datekansas.com president
"Take a cell phone with you and your own vehicle if you are meeting someone for the first time."
"If you're meeting someone for the first time, do coffee or lunch instead of an intimate dinner."
"Don't give out your home address even after a great date. Limit the personal information you give out, but be sure to say, 'let's do this again' if its something you want to pursue."
—Kristen Kelly,
spokeswoman for Match.com

enough to turn her off online dating. Overwhelmed by emails and not feeling a connection with any of the other match eHarmony.com found her, Liz decided to cancel her $ 60 membership.
Although there are downsides to dating online, Don Jones, a licensed clinical psychotherapist in Topela, sees several benefits with online dating. First of all, it's a positive way for those who are shy to meet people. You also get to know people through e-mails before meeting them. An added bonus for college students is that virtual dating in inexpensive up until you decide to meet them.
Online dating works well for Jones, 42 because going to the bars is not practical anymore, and he does not want to date someone at work. The Internet is a convenient way to meet others. He has been dating online for four years and has been in two long-term relationships since. Jones has been in his current relationship for 16 months and was in his previous one for nine.
At the same time, Jones advises people who are trying online dating to be patient and use caution. You have to rely on the honesty of others when dating online, and often time's people's misrepresent themselves. People can be married but will say they are single. Jones has been in a few situations where people would be much heavier than they portrayed themselves to be.
You also have to be patient for online dating to work. Jones talked to several people and went on five or six dead-end dates before truly meeting someone. Don't rush into things too fast. Sometimes people may get excited about having a connection with someone else and start furiously send e-mails back and forth, which can scare the other person off or just lead straight to a dead-end if you run out of things to say to the each other.
run out of things to say to the user. Online dating is similar to dating in general. You will run into instances where someone you are not interested in will message you or vice versa, Jones says. People will often times be rude or leave
you hanging and not reply, which is Jones stresses never to do. Be honest, upfront and kind if you are not interested. Occasionally, you will run into some freaky people or stalkers. Jones says he once had a woman send him naked picture through e-mail.
"You need to have tough skin," Jones says. "People with shoot you down, but just hang in there. Don't let it get under your skin," say Jones.

I tried out some of the online dating sites to give you a better perspective of what to expect.
to expect.
EHarmony.com's personality profile takes a good 45 minutes to complete, so give yourself plenty of time when registering. The questionnaire ranges from general questions about personal characteristics to in-depth questions about relationship styles. The self-description portions ask if you find yourself to be clever, submissive, aggressive, intellectual, communicative and so forth. The personal characteristics section asks about beliefs, work ethics and church involvement. The test is thorough but long using blurbs, true and false questions and "never to always" scaling questions. Personal interests — art, animals, cooking and dancing — are conveniently alphabetized, and eHarmony has encouraging phrases such as "try not to over analyze it" and "you're doing great" to give you that extra drive to complete your profile. Some questions seem difficult for college students to accurately answer or relate to such as dating someone with older children.
Even after completing the detailed analysis, eHarmony.com was unable to find me a match. The sites reasoning is that 20 percent of the users do not benefit from that site, and I happened to be that one person out of five. Part of the reason may be that I preferred to be paired with another Muslim, and perhaps not many Muslims are using e-Harmony.
DateKansas.com is a simple for page questionnaire that takes no long than 15 minutes to complete. DateKansas.com
questions focus more on physical appearance but also question your interests topics such as religion, music, partying, traveling and sports and which languages you speak. The last page asks for a written description on your personality, your appearance and what you are looking for in a date. However, inappropriate sexual language is not allowed, so nothing calousal. Ralston, president of the site, personally checks each entry to make sure the entries do not offend others, so take an extra minute or two to polish your words.

Pressing Problems
Wrinkles in your clothes got you steaming mad? Don't worry,we'll help you iron out the issues
(1) (2)(3)

When the Jayhawks faced the Cowboys Saturday night, you probably didn't notice their uniforms. But if you were looking, really paying attention, you saw it. Their uniforms weren't wrinkled.
Because the folks down at the Athletics Department equipment office fold or hang the uniforms after they are washed and dried, they avoid unnecessary wrinkles. However, if some wrinkling happens, they are quick to steam the creases out. But they never iron. "Ironing is a bad word down here," says Ron Aulet, one of the Athletics Department's equipment managers. With irons, there's always the chance that a uniform might be burned, he says. No one wants to see Christian Moody on the court with an iron imprint on his back.
of the equipment office, ironing is probably our best bet of achieving a wrinkle-free appearance. And don't think that hanging your shirts up right after you take them out of the dryer will be enough of a preventative. If you have a sharp eye, you'll notice that they are still a bit rumpled, lacking the crispness that an iron can bring.

Before you start worrying about irons, steamers and sleeve boards, calm down. Ironing is actually a simple process.
According to *Gentleman's Guide to Grooming and Style*, all you really need is a surface to iron on, an iron and a something to iron. A table top covered with a towel or blanket is just as good as an ironing board and as long as your iron has a stainless-steel sole plate, you're good to go.

When ironing a shirt, it is always best to do it while the shirt is still damp. Don't take the shirt out of the washer and throw it down on an ironing board; just take a simple spray bottle (available at any home and garden store), fill it with water and spray down your shirt until it's slightly damp.
a slightly damp.
I start ironing with one of the sleeves. Use your hands to lay the fabric down smoothly and then start ironing in the center of the sleeve, working out. If your shirt has single-button cuffs, iron the cuffs with the buttons facing up. For double or French cuff shirts, unfold the cuff and iron it smooth. Then fold the cuff and iron in the crease of the fold.
To iron the back of the shirt, place the shirt so that the inside is against the ironing board. Pull the shirt tight and then iron the back smooth, making sure to iron the back pleat evenly as you do so. By placing the pleat so that it runs parallel to the edge of the ironing board, you will be able to pull the shirt tight across the board while ironing.

as not to create any new wrinkles. Turn the shirt over and iron the inside of the collar. You don't have to iron the crease into the collar as most shirts are constructed with the fold in place.
To iron the front of the shirt, place half on the ironing board with the outside up and smooth out the wrinkles. Be careful with the buttons. Most irons made today are grooved to help you iron around the buttons. Never place the iron on top of the buttons as the heat may destroy them.
When you are done ironing, hang the shirt up to allow it to cool before wearing or storing. If you are storing the shirt in a closet, be sure to allow enough room for the shirt to hang so it won't wrinkle again.

Hit the road
Spend your spring break on the road, not
the roadside. Know what to take and what
to expect on your next road trip.
By Leigh Ann Foskey, Jayplay writer

For 35 years he has traveled across the country visiting all but a handful of the 50 states. Robert Schaller is Program Manager of Defense Driving for the state of Arizona, a contributing expert to roadtripamerica.com and a road trip enthusiast. It all began in 1965 on a road trip from Phoenix to Michigan with his father. "That is still my favorite trip even though I didn't get to drive," Schaller says. Schaller began road-tripping with his family when he was about three years old and has loved the driving ever since. "I caught the fever from my dad," Schalter says. "He loved to drive. When he was 16 years old he drove a Model A Ford from Indiana to the coast and back again."
While most of us aren't planning to drive across the country for spring break, a few will be heading to places nearby. Monica Gundlefinger, Prairie Village sophomore, is going to Galveston, Texas with some friends. "A friend's sister lives down there, so we'll have access to a house right on the beach," Gundlefinger says. But, no matter where you're heading it's important to get there safely. Whether you are a first time road-tripper or an old pro, here are a few tips to send you on your way.
Pre-Trip Checklist
A-16 Trip Checklist
The most important part of a road trip is, well, the car. So, to avoid getting strained make sure everything is working properly. Your best bet is to have your mechanic check out your car before you leave, some garages even offer a pre-trip inspection. Your mechanic should look at the tires, brakes, belts and hoses, the exhaust and cooling systems and electrical charging. But if he can't squeeze you
in make sure to thoroughly check your car to ensure everything is running smoothly. Gundelfinger says she plans to have her dad look at her car before they leave. "He's a handman," she says. If you don't take your car to a mechanic, Schaller says to look at all fluid levels and tire pressure and to check the lights, the horn and clean the windshield. If your car has more than 100,000 miles you should take extra precautions and really have
your car looked over
Schaller says that getting a tune up on an older car can help you save money and get better gas mileage.
Do It Yourself
Do It Yourself
To check your tire pressure you can buy a gauge from an auto parts store or use the one on the air pump at a
on the oil pump in the local gas station. Unscrew the valve on the tire and apply the gauge. A ruler will extend to give you the reading. Compare it to the correct tire pressure listed on the tire rim or in your car's owner's manual and inflate the tire as needed.
While you're checking out the tire's pressure, you should also look at the tread. Worn tires offer little traction, which can cause you to hydroplane on wet roads. Daniel Kessler, mechanic at Dale Willey Quick Service and Tire Center at 2216 W Sixth says that legally your tire tread must be at least 2/32 of an inch. You can get pulled over and ticketed for having less tread, Kessler says. To check your tire's tread place a penny in the tread grooves on the tire. If part of Lincoln's head is covered, your tires don't need

replacing. Use the penny in several grooves to get an accurate reading.
And last, test the fluids. To check your antifreeze or coolant levels first locate the container that holds the fluids. Your car's manual provides a guide to locating everything under the hood. Make sure that the engine is cool and add the fluid until it reaches the "fill" line printed on the reservoir. You can use the same method to add windshield washer fluid.

and brake fluid. However, checking your car's oil is a little more difficult. First, find the dipstick. Pull it out and wipe it off using a clean, lint-free rag. Put it back in, remove it and read the stick. The notches will let you know if you need to add oil. While you're there, make sure the oil is clean. Any sign
the oil is clean. Any sign of grit means you should have your oil changed.
Be Prepared
BE I repaired
Even when your car is in tip-top shape, you should take an emergency kit. You never know what might happen to you or other spring break road-trippers. Your kit should have a spare tire that is in good shape and can hold air. Schaller says that often the spares sit under the car for so long that they barely have air when you pull them out. The type of spare you have determines how far you can go. Kessler says a full sized spare is like a regular tire, it's not just for temporary use. With a doughnut however, there are limits. Kessler says that with the doughnut you should drive as few miles as possible
You should also keep a jack, lug wrench,
jumper cables, and an extra can of motor oil and a jug of water for emergencies.
claim a job or wait for ambulance.
First aid kits are a necessity. You never know when you'll be in an accident or witness one. The kits are easy to put together or to find, just make sure it has all of the necessities. A flash light with extra batteries, cold packs and re-sealable plastic bags are good things to have in case you run into any problems, says Bill Smith, health educator for Student Health Services. But he also suggests taking along some of the basics like scissors, latex gloves, adhesive bandages, sterile gauze, adhesive tape, sealed moist towelettes and elastic bandages. Smith says if you do have problems you can call 911 from the road, just know exactly where you are. "The signal can bounce off any tower and you may not get a local 911 operator," says Smith, "You have to be able to say I'm at this mile marker."

tout will send help to you.
The whole point of a road trip is the drive; that's what got Schaller hooked. So have fun and take in some sights. Just remember to prepare so you can come back and tell everyone about your time on the road, not on the side of it.
Another important number to have on the road is 511. Schaller says that this number will give you road condition information in most states. If you are nervous about driving a long distance, Schaller also recommends getting an auto club plan like AAA. If you break down, you can call one number and the club will send help to you.

Sprav to keep the wrinkles away
Spring Break isn't just about getting away from classes and homework for a week, it's also about going out and hooking up in a new, exotic location. To accomplish that, you'll need to look your best. Unfortunately, stuffing your sexiest clothes in a duffel bag won't keep them looking sharp and will cause unsightly wrinkles. To get the wrinkles out, take along a can of spray starch, available from retailers such as Target and Wal-Mart for less than a dollar. Just hang your clothes up, spray a little bit of the starch on them and tug the wrinkles out.

Ditch the backpack and use this beach bag for your shades and seashells during spring break. Marliyn Hall, manager of Hancock Fabrics, 2108 W. $ 27^{th}$ St., showed me how to make a cool beach bag made from an old beach towel.

Stuck in the middle
Not going anywhere for spring break? Staying local doesn't have to mean kicking back on your couch. By Mandy Hendrix, Jayplaywriter
11 you never got around to making your own plans for spring break or if your plans fell through, don't moot around the entire week. While sunny skies and wild nights can't be guaranteed in Kansas, take time off to relax and do the things you've always wanted to do but never had the time.
Only in Lawrence
Lawrence is a small city with a laid-back, liberal personality. To experience the city's character, take an afternoon walk around one of Lawrence's 26 parks. I recommend strolling through either Watson Park on Eighth Street between Tennessee and Kentucky Streets, or South Park near 11th and Massachusetts Streets, because both have playground equipment and are popular among locals. Next, stroll along Massachusetts Street and slowly walk among the "honk for hemp" hippies, the men playing chess on the corner and the various musicians competing with the sounds of downtown traffic. See how many stores you can browse in an afternoon or check out the stores you've been tootimid to go into such as Sacred Sword or Third Planet. For dinner, head to Kansas' first legal brewery since 1881, Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts. Gregg Scott, Free State host and Lawrence resident suggests the artichoke dip or the Portobello-parmesan sandwich. And the beer at Free State can't be beat. The Wheat State Golden tastes like a typical light beer while the dark Oatmeal Stout is favored by those who prefer Guinness, Scott says. Afterward, walk down the street a few steps and catch an indie flick at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts.
Roughin' It
Clinton Lake is right on the southwestern edge of Lawrence, though a lot of college students haven't ventured out to see it. Woodridge Primitive Park, one of the lake's seven campgrounds, is open year round. Gather up some friends and head out for a night under the stars. If you don't have the right gear, the Student Recreation Fitness Center has an Outdoor Pursuits program that allows students to rent the necessary outdoor equipment. It provides tents, sleeping bags, gas stoves,
canoes, lanterns and sleeping pads. You can choose between a two-person and a four-person tent ($6 to $12) and from a wide range of all-weather sleeping bags ($4 to $7). If you're the only one around, rent the lantern, find a good book and have a night of quiet solitude at the campground.
Art in Kansas Citv
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, 4825 Oak St., Kansas City, Mo., and The Kemper Contemporary Museum of Art, 4420 Warwick Blvd., Kansas City, Mo., are two of the best art museums in Kansas City. The Nelson-Atkins Museum houses a large collection of art from around the world and different eras. Even if you haven't taken art history you might recognize some works by Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, El Greco, Vincent Van Gogh, Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt. The outside lawn of the majestic marble building is sprinkled with four giant shuttlecocks (although two are currently being restored). These lawns contain four sculpture parks where you can picnic. Bring your lunch from home and sit on the grassy expanses in the midst of creations by Auguste Rodin, Pierre-Auguste Renior and modernist Isaac Noguchi.
If you're less interested in European masters and more into contemporary works, head over to the Kemper Museum. Don't let the 11-foot bronze spider outside scare you. Beyond the bleak concrete exterior, the museum showcases modern and contemporary works in all mediums from artists such as Dale Chihuly, William Wegman and Georgia O'Keefe.
Brewery Tour
When you think of Missouri and beer, you think Budweiser in St. Louis. But Boulevard Brewing Company, 2501 Southwest Blvd., Kansas City, is Missouri's second-largest producer of beer. And let's face it, a Boulevard Wheat tastes better than a Bud Light. If you've ever contemplated how breweries produce a fainting beer, reserve your spot soon on the Boulevard Brewery Tour by calling (816) 474-7095. Tour participants get a free sample of different beers such as Unfiltered Wheat, Pale Ale and Bully Porter. Seasonal
such as Irish Ale, which is brewed especially for St. Patrick's Day is also available for sampling says Julie Weeks, hospitality coordinator at the brewery.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk
Welcome to DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE
March Madness is just starting to heat up, but you can already look ahead to summer baseball. Support the Jayhawks and catch any of the six home baseball games at Hogland Ballpark, the University's baseball stadium located adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse. The Big 12 Conference plays against past College World Series contender Nebraska on March 25, 26 and 27 is a sure bet. The women's softball
The women's softball team also has three home games at Arroa Ballpark, located adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse. The women face the always agressive Texas Longhorns on March 25 and 26. During the games concessions are open and selling summertime ballpark favorites such as sunflower seeds and hot dogs. The best part is that the games are free.

Kansas City is not just for barbeque and fountains anymore. Next time you are at the bar, show your Kansas City pride and order a Caribou Lou.

Black Velvet
1 part Guinness Stout

Layer the Champagne over the Guinness in a champagne flute.
This weekend, treat your tastebuds to a vortex of velvety tastes, ala Guinness and Champagne. The Black Velvet, also known as the Bismarck Velvet, was created in 1861 at Brooks' Club in London. Prince Albert had died and a steward decided champagne should be included in the mourning.
The majority, however, felt that champagne alone was simply too cheery to mark his passing, so it was combined with Irish stout to invoke a more somber mood. This drink became very popular and was the favorite of Prince Otto Von Bismarck of Germany, who lived from 1815-1898.

Keyboards:Jason Foster
Bass:Marcus Wilkinson
Guitar:Scottie Anderson
With a freshly released debut album and a victory at Club Wers V late last year, Sidewise is in the perfect place to capture a large fan base from the Lawrence and Kansas City areas. The group performs at 9
p. m. tomorrow at The Hurricane, 4048 Broadway St., Kansas City, Mo., with The Leo Project and One Degree Difference. They will hit Lawrence when they headline a show on April 1 at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St.
Where did the title of your CD, Digest the Moon, come from?
Matt: Well, partly because our logo is a crescent, but it really means to take the music in however you want and then interpret it.
In reading your bio, I noticed Nico switched from drums to vocals. The biob made it sound like it was a long process. How all did you decide on him?
Matt: We were basically an instrumental band for like two or three years. There were five of us without Jeff, the drummer. We started looking for a singer about a year ago because our friend Brian Mills was recording a CD for his school. We chose the guy who had the best voice. Nico came up with some stuff, and he has really grown and gotten a lot better. After we realized he could sing, we held a few auditions and came up with Jeff [as the drummer].
I am a big fan of St. Patty's Day. What do you all have planned — green beer and eggs? Matt: Drink a lot of green beer. Probably Natty Light because it's cheap
Okay, who are your musical inspirations?
Nice. Everything, we have a wide variety of styles in our band.
Jeff. Oh, there are so many bands, Maynard, Tool, we are not trying to sound like any of them but there is Def Tones, Korn, we listen to jazz on 91,5, funk. Basically we blend a lot of musical genres and rock.
Whose work are you more a fan of: Ron Jeremy or John Holmes? Matt: Ron Jeremy or John Holmes. Who's John Holmes?
Ask the guys?
Matt: Who's John Holmes? I'm assuming another porn star?
Group: What kind of interview is this?
I warned you I would be asking random questions.
Matt: Ron Jeremy
Jeff: Nico, our singer, will look like him in a few years.
What is your favorite Lawrence venue? Matt: Granade, it's got the biggest stage. That is what we look for as a band. Plus, it's well known. Second would be the Bottleneck.
Matt: When we first got together, we were playing a backyard gig, I found it in the dictionary and put it on the flyer. We've had it for so long, we just stuck with it. It wasn't intentional.
Where did the name Sidewise come from?
Have you all hit the groupie stage yet or is that still to come? Jeff: it's something that is just beginning, but I hope it is a long time thing.

William Shakspeare's The Merchant of Venice
(☆☆☆1/2)
R, 138 minutes, Liberty Hall
One of the Bard's most controversial plays, The Merchant of Venice is the rare Shakespearean piece that defies easy categorization. It's neither a light romantic comedy like A Midsummer Night's Dream nor a heavy tragedy like Hamlet, though the grisly wager at its center keeps the tone more dark than light.
In 1596, Venice Jews are forced to live in housing surrounded by brick walls, and on the streets they must wear red caps to identify themselves.

However, the past dies hard, and Jeff is soon caught up in yet another hostile situation. It seems that three maladjusted teens have taken a small family hostage in a remote mountain estate that contains the largest air ducts in the history of the world. The father of the family (Sydney Pollack) is a shady accountant who works for some deadly cartel, and they want their account back. So the cartel kidnaps Jeff's family in order to assure that their property is returned.
Jeff is stuck in a tragically ironic reversal of events. Now he is the hostage, and he has to save the victimized family and his
own. Despite the series of completely implausible events required to create this scenario, it is quite engaging to see Jeff work against the clock and the system to save these lives.
The movie actually works quite well until the director, Florent Siri, decides to ramp up the slow motion gore. Character after character is bludgeoned and stabbed and burned alive until you begin to forget what purpose of all this was. Violence can be cathartic, but it can also be really distracting. In the end, Willis, and the movie, limp to a strangely unsatisfying end, and I couldn't help but remember that at least John McClane always got to shoot off catchy a "Vippe-ki-yay, mother fucker" when his job was done.

The Jacket
(100)
R, 102 minutes, South Wind Theater
Terror does not have a new name with the new film The Jacket directed by John Maybury. The movie combines a psychological thrill with a little romance, suspense and even comedy, but contains no terrifying scenes.
This fact, however, does not
SERIO MAYORAL
This fact, however, does not affect the film's quality in any sense. The Jacket is enriched by a great performance by Adrien Brody (Jack Starks) who can make a spectator cry when needed or laugh if the occasion calls for it. Maybury, the director, also did a great job on involving the viewer on the scenes through close-up shots. The combination of Maybury's direction and Brody's acting skills makes the audience sympathize with Starks.
Starks is a military veteran who, after a series of events, mistakenly ends up in an asylum. There, he becomes victim of Dr. Thomas Becker (Kris Kristofferson), a doctor who places patients in a straight jacket and lays them in a coffin. Through it, Starks is able to mentally travel time, which causes him to find out the day of his death. Knowing that, he attempts to explain a series of bizarre events he has
gone through.
gone in though.
The best qualities of this film are the ability it has to make the viewer laugh one second and be disgusted the next. This flexibility makes the film easy to watch. Contrary to other thrillers, the end does not leave the spectator nervous but rather with a desire to further analyze the motion picture.
The Jacket is a film which adventures into different genres without losing its purpose. Even though anything but terrifying, it is definitely a film worth watching.

Bride and Prejudice (☆☆1/2)
PG-13, 110 minutes,
AMC Studio 30 - Olathe
Bride and Prejudice, the new Bollywood musical from the gifted Anglo-Asian film-maker Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham), tackles Jane Austen with a largely Indian cast.
The four beautiful Bakshi sisters, living in upper middle-class style in Amritsar, India, are in the market for husbands. The oldest sister, Jaya, is falling for Balraj Bingle, a wealthy British Indian. Balraj's American friend, Will Darcy, goes after Lalita, who in turn prefers a British backpacker named Johnny Wickham.
Some of these characters are transposed directly from Austen's typically wicked novel, Pride and Prejudice. Lalita closely resembles Lizzie Bennett in her sharp-tongued wit and feminist resistance, and is played here by the gorgeous Bollywood superstar Alshwarya Rai. The director's biggest departures from the novel are cultural and musical, revisions that pay off in the film's sparkling first hour.
For a while, *Bride and Prejudice* is Bollywood at its best. The musical sequences are infectious delights, aided by lavish choreography and swirling displays of pastel-colored costumes. Unfortunately, the film loses much of its color and vibrance when the action moves away from India. One problem is the increasing presence of the actor Martin Henderson the played the doomed boyfriend in *The
Ring1 as Darcy, Henderson's blah delivery bleeds the movie dry, and I kept hoping that creepy little girl from The Ring would crawl out of a television and get him again.
The bigger problem has to do with Bollywood itself, which has a style and
Its a girl I love you a lot.
artistic sensibility unique to India. It's no wonder the film's musical numbers virtually disappear as the plot takes Lalita to London and later to Hollywood, where her heroine transforms into just another generic princess, a cinematic stepsister to Hiliary Duff or Julia Stiles.
The hilarious Nitin Chandra Ganatra costars as an Indian living in Hollywood who invites Lalita to stay at his "crib" because "it's the bomb."

Saw Movie (♦)
DVD (♦♦)
R, 100 minutes. Now available on DVD
If Saw was a turkey, it stayed in the oven about an hour too long — almost every thing about it feels overdone and the film is at times illogical to the point of hilarity.
the times illogical to the pa-
remise is interesting: two strang-ers (Carey Elwes, Leigh Whannell) wake up chained on opposite sides of a dilapidated bathroom. In the center of a room lies a body, apparently killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The two men discover that they were put in this room by a serial killer named "Jigsaw" who likes to torture his victims in
ironic and disguiting ways so they'll appreciate life again. It's impossible explaining the plot from this point on because one plot point can't be explained without the plot twist for it five minutes later.
The film distracts from itself with too many plottwists and flashbacks that are repeated three or four times. A movie
four time like this would work as a short film, about 45 minutes to an hour long, because it seems like the director and writer kept plot twist after plot twist on top of each other to fill time. Some are clever. Most don't work. The acting is less than satisfactory, but that's because it's nearly impossible to care about any of the characters. I watched this movie with my roommate, and neither of us cared if the main characters got out of their dire situation alive.
The DVD special features are slim. The director and writer provide commentary, in addition to a brief and unsatisfying behind-the-scenes feature about the making of the film and another feature about the making of a music video.

Stage Beauty Movie (★★★)
DVD (★★)
R 110 minutes. Now available on DVD
I don't care what the synopsis for Stage Beauty says: Claire Danes makes a much better woman than Billy Crudup. Both are pretty in their own right, but Danes just has something that makes her a better woman, or rather, a lack of a certain something. Stage Beauty is all about gender bending, and bears a few similarities with Shakespeare in Love. While not as good as that Oscar winner, Stage Beauty is still enjoyable, funny and well-acted.
century, the film focuses on a time where only men were allowed by law to play women's parts on stage. Ned Kynaston (Billy Crudup) is the best at it. He is so good, in fact, that girls place bets on what actually lies between his legs, and fat lords confuse him for a good lay. His assistant, Maria (Danes), is an aspiring
actress and also has a crush on Kynaston. The acting world is turned upside down when King Charles (Rupert Everett) declares that women, and only women, can play women's roles. This of course leaves Kynaston out of a job and gives Maria the opportunity she has been looking for.
The supporting cast is excellent, particularly Everett's deadpan and ridiculous king. But this is Crudup's movie. Stage Beauty would not have worked if his Kynaston had not made a convincing woman, but he seems to pull it off easily.

The DVD special features are light and include a director's commentary and the usual behind-the-scenes featurette.

The Golden Republic
The Golden Republic
"This is rock-and-roll and I know it won't hurt
me." "I don't say this to re-assure myself that rock music won't kill me, rather the Golden Republic's front man Ben Grimes says it on "NYC," a track off the KC bands self-titled debut album. But there are three reasons why I could conceivably say it to describe The Golden Republic.
it to describe the classroom.
It is in fact rock-and-roll, in its trust
form. Hints of new wave and '60s doo-
wop soul aside, The Golden Republic
is straightforward rock music and there
is no esoteric sub-genre classification (i.e.
post-post punk) that could be used to
describe it.
Recorded rock music is, as a general rule, not physically dangerous and The Golden Republic is no exception. Live though, rock-and-roll can be deadly, as at Altamont and at The Who's 1979 Cincinnati gig, but in both cases it was people who killed other people, not rock music that killed people.
The Golden Republic poses no threat to emotional or developmental stability. There are no subliminal messages (that I know of) on The Golden Republic, and in fact, the album promotes a healthy sense of social etiquette, as on "Not My Kind"
when Grimes sings, "You came to this party to shake your butt," eschewing a crass posterior reference.
For these reasons and others, we should be proud that a local Midwestern band is set to take on the nation with their Astral-weeks debut. Some bands, 311 and Slipknot for example, have presented the Midwest as a hotbed for garbage-funk rap-rock and "lhate-my-parents-and-my-hometown" nu-metal. But joining Omaha contemporaries like Cursive and The Faint, The Golden Republic will aid in dispelling the idea that our region suffers from a dearth of creativity.
from a death of creativity.
In fact, in addition to putting out a healthy, creative record from the Midwest, The Golden Republic denigrate the coastal music scenes. Grimes laments the fabrication of music on "Robots" with lines like, "When we stop with buying this trash then we'll find our souls." A serious statement for a serious issue.
ment for a serious issue.
The Golden Republic is a solid, straightforward record. There are few surprises and no traoops to fall through. The band could have experimented more and deviated from their hook-filled honest rocking, but we'll leave that to their future releases, which hopefully will be many.

Cephalic Carnage Anomalies
Here's some tips for those of you out there looking to start a metal band. Don't sing about how you much miss your girlfriend or how your back hurts from head banging too much, it makes you sound old and just plain not evil.
Cephalic Carnage writes some downright challenging lyrics such as this little gem on "Counting the Days;" "Getting stoned/We are one with our fans/Feeling great/europe rules/As does the metal world." As does, indeed gentlemen. Well said. See guys, the thing about death-metal bands in Europe is that they burn churches down and live in castles, which is way more scary than weed could ever be. Take note.
There are times when you come across certain lyrics that really make you question your own life. Cephalic Carnage finds ways to do this with such lines as, "Kicking people is bad/People should never do it."
The album climaxes on the song "Kill for Weed," where they talk about police who stole their weed. "There's no justice for me/Our system let me down/My life I must defend/So now I'll kill for weed." I don't promote murder. But, he's not going to actually kill anyone, because he's stoned.
The artwork for Anomalies consists of

stock metal album creepiness — babies with detached heads, dudes in coffins and even a "photograph of actual ghost," according to the liner notes. What really sucks is that the instrumentation on this thing is good. These guys really can thrash. It's just hard to pretend that the guy isn't singing about weed instead of talking about cool stuff like killing goats and drinking blood. Give me some real metal dudes. Please.

A huge explosion occurs on the highway and Megaman arrives on the scene to investigate. A shadowy figure emerges from the wreckage. It's Sigma. All of a sudden, more Sigmas begin to emerge. X can barely form words. All of a sudden a flash of light falls on Sigma and

The game's story mode follows a lone street fighter as he works his way up the ladder in *Fight Club*.

X8 returns with X, Zero and Axl as playable characters. Each of them has their own strengths to bring to the battlefield.

Brothers in Arms:
Road to Hill 30
Xbox, PS2, PC
—Chris Moore
Brothers in Arms is a tactical squad-based first-person shooter starring Matt Baker, a 20-year-old paratrooper. The
story is in depth and has a Saving Private Ryan feel to it, complete with a musical score to make Tom Hanks proud. Baker is just a soldier. He can be killed easily, his gun shakes as he shoots and shooting while running is inaccurate. It's realistic.
The three best antagonists in video games are aliens, demons and Nazis. Halo 2, Doom 3 and now Brothers in Arms has fulfilled its aspirations of purging evil from the French countryside.
while running is made easier.
Outmeuering the Nazi's isn't a walk in the park. The basic situation is having one of your squads lay down cover fire to suppress the enemy, while you lead the second squad around to flank them.
"I don't."
The story is what sticks in my mind. "I never asked to be squad leader" it is Baker's favorite line and he says it several times in the first several levels. It's sad to get to know the men in your squad and then see how it bothers everyone when they are killed.
It's been a while since I've played a good WWW1 first person shooter and after play
ing Brothers in Arms I wish there were more good ones on the market. The multiplayer adds depth to a game as you play as either a Nazi or an American, fulfilling objectives like defending or destroying anti-aircraft guns.
What makes it fun is the chaos you endure while trying to create order by flanking your enemy and then when you've finally moved into a flanking position you hear the sound of metallic treads rolling along. You turn to find yourself staring down the barrel of a German Panzer and you feel like Matt Baker, just another soldier.

Ping Yuan
By Ashley Michaels, Jayplay writer
I couldn't take my shoes off, I knew if I took my shoes off, it would officially be over and I wasn't ready for that. I spent seven years of my life working to make the last four years actually happen and if I took my shoes off, I didn't know what I was going to do next.
I started playing volleyball when I was 10. I played in school and for various club teams, I hated club volleyball. I had to drive two hours twice a week for practice, I never knew any of the girls on my team and tournaments on the weekends forced me to miss out on any kind of social life. If it hadn't been for my parents and my own personal goals, I never would have continued. My ultimate goal was to play Division I college volleyball and I knew the only way to achieve that goal was to continue doing what I disliked the most. At the end of my club volleyball career, I had seven years under my belt.
Letters started coming. Different colleges that had seen me play started showing vague interest and I had to decide which ones were truly interested, weed
out the ones that were just blowing smoke up my ass (wanting me for a back-up in case they didn't get their first or second choice) and which ones I was really interested in. At first the idea of going away to college was appealing, but I am really close to my family and I wanted them to be able to come watch me play. I narrowed it down to the University of Kansas and Kansas State University. After hardly any deliberation, I chose the University of Kansas.
After a match it was always a race to see who could get out of the locker room the fastest. Change, throw your gear in your bag and get on the bus. But on Dec. 4, 2004, as I sat there in the University of Washington locker room at the NCAA Tournament after my last game, the last thing I wanted to do was change and get on the bus. There were four seniors, and as I looked around, I could tell they were all feeling the same way.
Washington was good, No. 3 in the country. We were the underdog. In most people's minds, we didn't even deserve an
we lost. So much for the "good feeling." We played five games, losing the last game by two points. In 11 years, I have never played with a group of girls who fought so hard to win a match. We left the
invite. We came out fired up after a big win against Santa Clara in the first round. I wasn't worried about whether we were going to win. My team was confident and ready to lay everything on the line in order to advance past the second round.
Sometimes your team just doesn't show up to play. It is an aspect of competition that you deal with. The good teams move on, the bad teams get lost in the dust. We would always talk about it before the game. "I have a good feeling tonight," one of us would say. If you had a bad feeling, you just kept your mouth shut and played your ass off. Sometimes your gut feeling is right on, other times it's not. That night I could tell that everyone had the "good feeling" and I had no doubt we were going to win and be the first team in KU volleyball history to make it to the Sweet 16.
gym defeated warriors, proud and devastated at the same time.
There is no feeling like competing with a group of people who are just as passionate about the cause as you are. Every single day I went to war with these girls. Together we cried over defeat, rejoiced when we won and trained to be the best we could be — not only for ourselves, but for each other. We fought through numerous injuries, such as ACL tears and stress fractures, and we dealt with the loss of our defensive specialist at a key point in our season. Volleyball was our priority and it took precedence above all else in most of our lives.
Sitting there that night, having just lost the biggest match of my life, in a town far from what I considered home, most would have felt lost. I didn't feel lost; I felt right at home. Defeated or triumphant, this is where I felt the most comfortable. I took my shoes off and got on the bus.

Rams, Pace sign for seven more years
ST.LOUIS - For the first time in four seasons,
PETER M. LEE
Pace
The St. Louis Rams and the six-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle beat a looming deadline yesterday,
Orlando Pac will be playing on more than a one-year contract.
agreeing on a seven-year, $52.9 million deal.
The Rams had faced a 3 p.m. CST deadline to re-sign Pace, who visited the Houston Texas on Monday and Tuesday to discuss a possible deal. Had the Rams failed to re-sign Pace by the deadline, the sides couldn't have signed a contract until July 15.
Kelly Hutsell/KANSAN
The Rams have used their franchise player designation on Pace since 2003, allowing them to keep him with a series of one-vear contracts that paid him the average of the NFL's highest-paid offensive tackles. Pace made $7.02 million last season.
Pace's deal includes $18 million in first-year salary and signing bonus and is comparable with the contracts of Walter Jones of the Seahawks and Jonathan Ogden of the Ravens, two other premier tackles with whom Pace is compared.
Pace was the first overall pick in the 1997 draft, making him the first lineman to go that high in 30 years. The 6-foot-7, 325-pound tackle has played his entire career in St. Louis and he's the first Rams lineman to earn six straight Pro Bowl berths since Jackie Slater also earned six in a row from 1985-90.

If Kansas is to be successful, the run better not be Gary Green's last touchdown.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino was confident that, while the freshman is certainly raw, Gary Green is going to bring excitement to the football team.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"He's learning, he's just a redshirt freshman, but he's gaining confidence every day. I'm really pleased with his progress," Mangino said. "He is a very conscientious guy. Nobody works harder than him and nobody wants to do better than he does."
It wasn't exactly a perfect day for Gary Green, though. In fact, the 30-yard tear was the highlight of a generally average offensive performance. Mangino said that everywhere he had coached, the offense came together after the defense.
Several times, Gary Green let a ball slip through his hands or simply didn't break to the outside. It was pretty clear, though, that he has a lot of potential.
His teammates seem confident in him as well.
Going into last season, Mangino was fond of saying that his team had so many quality running backs, there weren't enough balls in practice for them. With the loss of Randle, it's time for Mangino to prove that he's recruited enough talent to be able to absorb the loss of a major contributor.
"I compare him a lot to Darren Sproles," Floodman said, likening Green to the former Kansas State back. "He's a smaller back and is just very elusive."
♦ Kealing is a Chesterfield. Mo, sophomore in journalism and political science. He is the Kansan associate sports editor.
Sproles was touted as an All-American candidate this season, but he disappointed in several games, failing to rush anywhere near his previous season's average in several games this season. If Gary Green can develop into the type of back Sproles was during his first three years and should have been last season, Kansas won't even break stride with the loss of Randle.

Houston loses last game of season
WICHITA — Jamar Howard scored 21 points and Kyle Wilson added 20 to lead Wichita State past Houston 85-69 in the opening round of the NIT last night.
The Shockers (21-9) finished the game on a 19-3 run to win for just the third time in nine games.
Handy Burns had 16 points and Sean Ogiri chipped in 14 for Wichita State, which will play either Kent State or Western Kentucky.
Andre Owens scored a season-high 33 to lead the Cougars (18-14, 9-7 Conference USA). Ramon Dyer added 14 points.
Houston took a 36-34 lead into halftime. The Cougars shot 53 percent (14-26) in the first half. The Shockers shot 52 percent (10-19) in the half.
The Shockers opened the second half on a 10-3 run, capped by Burns' 3, to take a 44-39 lead. The teams traded baskets, with Wichita State taking a 52-51 lead with 13:15 remaining.
The Cougars responded, going on a 15-5 run to take a 66-64 lead with 6:10 to play.
Wilson scored the next seven points, including a three-point play, to give Wichita State a 59-51 lead with 11:34 to play.
The Cougars lost four straight games to finish the season.

FOOTBALL
With the loss of Randle, junior Clark Green and Gary Green, a freshman who took a redshirt, will fight for the starting job at running back. Gary Green showed signs of greatness as he ran three times for runs of ten yards or more, including a 30-yard touchdown run.
The defensive line, led by junior end Jermial Ashley, put pressure on the quarterback. Ashley had four sacks last year. A new comer who will likely make an

appearance on the defensive line is junior transfer Wayne Wilder. Wilder will likely start at the defensive tackle position, and should do a good job of clogging running lanes, as he weighs 295 pounds.
Dave Doeren will continue to work with the team's linebackers, but was has been promoted to co-defensive coordinator, Mangino said. Doeren will work with incumbent defensive coordinator Bill Young.

Appalachian State fills open date
The Kansas football team filled the open date on its schedule. The team will face Appalachian State on Sept. 10 in Memorial Stadium, coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday.
Appalachian State, a Division I-AA school, could be an problem for the Jayhawks' bowl hopes next season. Because the Jayhawks included a I-AA victory in 2003, they are unable to count a victory against a I-AA school toward a bowl game until 2007. This will require the Jayhawks to win six games besides the Appalachian State contest.
The Jayhawks will begin the season Sept. 3 against Florida Atlantic, Sept. 10 against Appalachian State and Sept. 17 against Louisiana Tech. All three games will be played at Memorial Stadium.
"You got to do what you got to do, and we will be prepared to play them all," Mangino said in response to making it more difficult for the team to qualify for a bowl next season.
Mangino appeared content with the decision yesterday.
The Jayhawks will then go on the road for the next two contests playing against Texas Tech Oct. 1 and Kansas State Oct.8.
On Oct. 15, the Jayhawks will play in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., against Oklahoma. This game was originally to be played at Memorial Stadium but was moved last fall
The team will play at Colorado on Oct. 22 and then play in Memorial Stadium against Missouri and Nebraska on Oct. 29 and Nov. 5.
The final two games of the season will be at Texas on Nov. 12 and against Iowa State in Memorial Stadium on Nov. 19.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Senate has taken a stance on gay marriage and wants the student body to adopt the same position.
Senate passed a resolution Wednesday night urging students to vote against the gay marriage ban because it threatens students' rights. In a debate that lasted nearly 90 minutes, Nick Sterner, Shawnee junior and off-campus senator, began the argument by submitting a resolution that students vote against the gay marriage amendment.
"This is not about personal ideology." Sterner said. "It is

Lucas Thompson, elections commission chair, filed two complaints that Web sites maintained by Student Voice contained libelous statements about KUnited. The coalition pled not guilty to the two libel-related offenses.
Michael Diaz, elections commissioner, filed a complaint against the coalition for failing to submit campaign flyers of its platform by the due date, which was 5 p.m. the day after it announced its platform to the student body.
Student Voice pled no contest to the complaint because it was a misunderstanding of the procedure on its part.

The commission charged Student Voice with libel for statements about KUNited's position on the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Differential Tuition proposal and increasing student fees. The first libel offense was in relation to information posted on the coalition's Xanga Web site, www.xanga.com/studentvoice05.

The maps have worked for the Brazilian graduate student for the most part. But sometimes changes in her routes can be dangerous. A couple of years ago, a stranger's warning was the only thing that prevented her from falling into a maintenance hole.
"If that girl hadn't yelled at me, I would have fallen right into that six foot hole." Magario said.

Students at the University of Kansas Medical Center want to improve the student health center. But those improvements may cost them.
A group of student representatives met with Dorothy Knoll, dean of students, to solve problems for a resource relied on more and more by students.
As the Med Center has grown complaints of under-staffing and insufficient services at the health center have persisted.

The students will propose a student health fee plan to the student governing council April 6.
Student health services at the Med Center were paid entirely through student fees. The University pays only for maintenance and utilities. Knoll said.
If approved, the fee change would go into effect in Fall 2005.
Currently, the amount a student pays in health fees depends on credit hours. Students who take less than six credit hours pay less than the $138 those taking more than six credit hours pay.
changes. All students will pay the amount paid by those taking six credit hours or more and a 30 percent fee increase will also be suggested.
The proposal calls for two
The increase would add $41.41 to the fee. Because the Med Center only has 1,700 students, it doesn't have as large a group to pull fees from like the Lawrence campus, Knoll said.
Leveling the field for other students was one of the goals of the proposal, Heather Hoelting, Shawnee nursing student representative, said.
Nursing students don't use the student health center as much as other students, she said.
"There were graduate students who take less than six hours and felt like they should be paying more for how much they use the health center," Hoelting said.
All student representatives said a fee increase was necessary. Determining how much to increase it by was a different story.
Increased fees would allow students more control of their health care and provide better services, Kevin McIntire, Atlanta, Ga., allied health graduate student representative, said.

Washington, D.C. isn't quite conducive to nursing mothers. As a young mother and political reporter in Washington, Kate Snow said she created commotion when she asked if there was somewhere she could nurse her son while she was working at the capitol. The men at the capitol responded as if her request was an issue of national security, she said.
"They barricaded the place down," Snow said. "They were like, 'Don't let anybody in to see her in there.'"
Snow, an ABC correspondent and weekend anchor for "Good Morning America" spoke alongside four of her peers last night at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. The Dole Institute hosted "Women in Politics and the Media" last night. The program featured an "all-star" panel of five women involved with politics and the media, Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute, said.
The five women featured at the program were Snow; Becky Norton Dunlap, a former White House aide and Virginia politician; Kay Barnes, mayor of Kansas City, Mo.; Karen McCarthy, a former five-term U.S. Representative from Missouri; and Lia Larson, a Harvard undergraduate and author of "Skirting Tradition," a collection of writings by prominent women in politics.
"You have got one prominent media person, one longtime Washington operative, one mayor, one congresswoman and one undergraduate," Lacy said. "It's really a fascinating mix."
ences in politics and the media and answered questions about topics ranging from presidential wives to the amount of money needed for women to run for a political campaign. All of the women said there was a need to get women more involved in politics.
the women discussed their experi-
"Research shows that if women run for office they are just as likely to be elected as men." Larson said. "The problem is that they just don't run."
One way for current women to get younger women involved in politics is to mentor them on how to get involved. Dunlop said.
The idea for the program originated as part of a leadership conference for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. Barnes was supposed to speak at the conference, but because there were not enough participants, the speech was canceled. Wolff said.
"I was disappointed," Wolff said.
"But I didn't want to let go of the idea."
Wolff approached Bill Lacy with the idea. "I thought there was a need to talk about why young women aren't as involved in politics as men." Wolff said. She said the Institute would be an appropriate setting for the program because Elizabeth Dole was a senator and a good example of a woman in politics.
This was the first time the Institute hosted a program focused on women and politics. And it was a great way to showcase Women's History Month, Lacy said. Larson summed up the focus of the group's message by calling for current women leaders to pass on their knowledge to a younger generation.
"One piece of advice is don't be afraid to seek out mentors," Larson said. "It goes without saying that successful women in politics would be willing to share their experience."

Charges
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
When the commission accessed the Web site on March 9 it read: "Screw the tuition increase! Unlike KUnited, we are against unnecessary tuition increases. We don't think students should foot the bill when they won't receive benefits, and they certainly shouldn't pay the entire cost of renovating a building."
According to Thompson's violation complaint: "KUUnited has not at any time made an official endorsement of the plan. While some of its members have even been outspoken in support of CLAS differential tuition, many have worked and spoken out against the proposal."
The second libel offense was in response to Student Voice's Thefacebook profile, where the commission charged that Student Voice repeated the offense from the Xanga Web site.
Their profile on Thefacebook.com has the same statement, but goes further to say, "We will stop charging
tees that don't directly aid the student body and uphold our promise to never raise fees without a student body referendum (a promise KUnited broke)."
In his complaint, Thompson again pointed out that not all of the KUnited coalition members supported the CLAS differential tuition proposal.
He also pointed out that Steve Munch, student body president, vetoed the bill to increase student fees for legal services.
In his e-mail to the senators, Munch said he agreed with the legislation but suggested that the proposal be put on the spring referendum for a broader student approval.
Members of Student Voice said they removed the comment about KUnited after Munch vetoed a bill to increase student fees for legal services.
But Dennis Chanay, presidential candidate for Student Voice, said the way Thompson brought the charges was wrong.
"In real life a judge does not identify something as libel and initiate a
FRIDAY. MED
suit unless the plaintiff has come forward," Chanay said. "For Luke Thompson to be acting on behalf of KUnited shows bias."
Student Voice was charged $50 for each offense equaling a total of $100. The coalition has 48 hours to appeal the decision to the University Judicial Board.

"We contest the entire decision, and we fully intend on making an appeal," Chanay said. He did not comment on whether the coalition will remove the statements from its Web sites.

A complaint was also filed against KUnited, but the hearing was postponed until after spring break. The complaint will not be released until then.
A separate complaint was filed against AJ Pollack, a candidate for senator. It was a closed hearing.
Three representatives of Student Voice, two representatives for KUnited, and one representative for Delta Force attended the meeting, which was held in the Kansas Union.

Residencies match students to schools

His plastic pointy ears and fake red beard wobbled back and forth as he opened the envelope.
The beard prevented Dodge City medical student Brandon Cunningham from showing much facial expression when he announced he was accepted at the University of Kansas Medical Center for a general surgery residency. But his delight was obvious in the spring in his step as he stepped off the stage.
More than 125 fourth-year medical students were formally placed in residency programs yesterday at Battenfeld Auditorium in the Student Center at the Med Center campus.

After applying to 50 programs and interviewing at 13 nationwide, Jay Sheperd, Roeland Park medical student, was more concerned about where he would be living in the fall than about winning the pool.

Aviators plan for more air traffic
Danny Mayeux, Facilities Operations construction employee, works on Woodyard Memorial yesterday. The memorial, which is between Wescoe Hall and Budig Hall, is undergoing construction. The memorial will be a plaza with benches and a honorary plaque.
More than 1 billion people a year will be boarding planes in the United States within a decade, nearly half again as many as those now using an aviation system showing signs of being overburdened.
The Federal Aviation Administration faces spending cuts for aviation equipment. But the agency's administrator, said she was confident there would be enough money to accommodate the growth.
"We are redesigning airspace, deploying new software that will help increase capacity, and putting new procedures in place," Marion Blakey said. "We will be ready."

Gay rights

the right of students to be free from harassment or discrimination based on sex, race, color, national origin, religion or sexual orientation.
The Senators debated whether the organization should take a stance on gay marriage. Some senators felt Senate is not in a position to tell the student body what to do.
Sterner and others disagreed.
"We are elected to represent students," Sterner said. "It is very important that we protect their rights all the time."
Now, Senate will spend the time before the April 5 election advocating for gay rights and educating students on the amendment, Sterner said. Katie Wolff, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, said SLAB would be campaigning on Wescoe Beach on issues on the April 5 ballot after spring break.
"We just want to make sure that all students are informed on everything," Wolff said. "Sometimes the wording of things can be very tricky, and we want to make things as simple as possible for students."
A copy of the resolution will be sent to local newspapers, but Serner said the resolution was not designed to be sent to legislators.
"The legislators already voted on this amendment," Sterner said. "It is more important now that voters in the upcoming election be informed on the issue."

"Some won't be happy about the increase, but there's a majority who are willing to pay more for better care," he said.
While Hoelting said a fee increase was necessary. She said some representatives wanted to raise the fee by as much as 60 percent. Instead, she proposed to increase the fee a little, make some changes and then evaluate what needed to be done and whether more money was needed. These aren't the first changes being made to student health services.
Knoll met with student representatives and began implementing changes from their suggestions. Problems addressed included making sure a nurse practitioner was always on duty, streamlining billing and insurance claims and starting a survey campaign to evaluate care.

BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — Kansas State University professor Thomas E. Murray was convicted yesterday of killing his former wife, in what the victim's family called a bittersweet victory.
Murray, 48, an English professor at Kansas State in Manhattan, was convicted of first-degree murder in the Nov. 13, 2003, death of Carmin D. Ross, 40. Her beaten and stabbed body was found on the living room floor of her two-story farmhouse north of Lawrence.
When the verdict was read, Murray, wearing a sweater and slacks, showed no obvious emotion. He was quickly led
out the courtroom by a deputy and looked straight ahead as he passed by seated family members. Two hours after the verdict, Kansas State announced his firing.
Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild said Murray will be sentenced in 45 days after a pre-sentence investigation. He faces life in prison with a possibility of parole in 25 years.
After the verdict, Ross' family members sat in silence for several seconds. Her grandmother, Malta Ross, began sobbing softly, and then other family members started crying. Ross' fiance, Larry Lima, grabbed the shoulder of Ross' father, Danny Ross, who was sitting in front of him.
"We are so thankful the jury
took its time. I think they did a wonderful job. As a family, we're relieved, but it won't bring our daughter back," Danny Ross told reporters.
"It will give us our granddaughter, which we will raise," he said. The girl, who was 4 at the time of the murder, has been with her grandparents in Indiana since Murray was arrested last year.
Prosecutors said Murray killed Ross partly because he was afraid of losing custody of the girl because Ross was planning to marry Lima and move to California. Murray and Ross shared custody of her after their 18-year marriage ended and were mediating custody issues at the time of Ross' death.
Unaccessible

White's students took measurements at Spooner Hall, Bailey Hall, Lippincott Hall, Dyche Hall, Blake Hall and Strong Hall.
While most buildings at the University comply with ADA regulations, White said that many of the older buildings could use some improvements.
Door pressure
This set-up tests how much force it takes to open a door. The fishing scale measures the force through the leather strap attached to door handles. Accessibility for exterior doors is defined as opening with under eight pounds of force. Interior doors should take five pounds or less of force.
White's goal was for students to see ADA standards and how the University measures up.
Cameron Monken/KANSAN
"The idea is to make them more aware," he said. "Some of these people could end up being architects or service providers."
Students used a compliance kit, which included a modified fish scale to measure the amount of force needed to open a door, a 25-foot tape measure and White's patented ADA accessibility stick. The stick measures ramp height and width, and the heights and widths bathroom stalls, drinking fountains and hallways.
Building entrances, access to goods and services, access to restrooms and other accessible measures were examined.
The guide asks certain questions about accessibility or asks them to measure for accessibility, and the students either check the "yes" box or the "no" box. There is also a list of possible solutions if the students check "no."
Nam Nguyen, a Wichita junior in White's class, has worked with people with mental disabilities since he was younger. This was the first time he has worked with mobility disabilities.
White assigned Nguyen's group to measure Bailey. The group found that the building had the most violations with six.
Some of the big problems with Bailey were a lack of Braille lettering on signs and no space for loading and unloading a wheelchair in accessible spaces, he said. There is only one accessible entrance behind the building, and sections of the building were only accessible by stairs, he said.
Bailey failed to meet compliance with accessible restrooms and accessible drinking fountains, according to the report.
Student's voiced their surprise about results in a class discussion. One of the biggest surprises came when one of the power-assisted doors was locked. Strong and Lippincott were the next worst with four violations.
Strong did not have accessible parking spaces close to an
accessible entrance, doors were too heavy to open and there were no audible elevator buttons. Lippincott had awkward heavy doors, no audible elevator buttons and lacked Braille lettering on doors.
Dyche and Spooner followed with two violations each, which included heavy doors and poorly placed accessible parking. Blake was the only hall that was compliant with all of the tests.
The information gathered from White's class will be given to Design and Construction Management and used to make accessibility improvements on campus.
"KU has a long way to go, but they have a really active architectural committee," White said. "They really try to meet the needs of people."

100 percent passing rate ridiculous goal for schools
PETE PRINCE
pprince@kansan.com
Have you ever approached finals week knowing that you had to ace your test in order to get that obso-beautiful A — or worse yet, in order to barely pull off earning a D? It's a difficult and seemingly impossible situation to face. Now, imagine an entire school dependent on every student
1
passing the test — this is exactly the situation our public schools will be facing a few years from now. Already they are battling extremely difficult and ever-increasing expectations.
No Child Left Behind is the current American education policy. Good name, right? Who wouldn't like that idea? Leaving no children behind is an admirable and just goal; the means to this end, however, are ridiculous. No Child Left Behind promotes accountability in teachers and students by calling for massive nation wide testing to take place each year in all public schools. When schools are on probation for more than two years, parents have a right to move their student to a different school.
For NCLB to be successful, each public school in the country must have a stipulated percentage of students earning passing grades on English and mathematics tests. This percentage of students includes students from different sub-groups, including students with disabilities, various racial groups and those coming from poor backgrounds. Right now, that percentage for schools can range anywhere from 55 to 65 percent; schools are asked to increase the percentage that is passing each year, by 2 to 3 percent. That means in 10 to 20 years, schools will be expected to have a 100 percent passing rate. Does this seem a bit outrageous to anyone else?
Every child in a school must pass the test. That means if one student isn't feeling well, doesn't care or just moved from a foreign country, the entire school fails the test. In turn, when a school doesn't meet the expected percentage of students passing the
test, it is put on probation, meaning students can choose to attend a different school and are provided a voucher for the extra expense. This cuts more funding from the failing school.
Many schools have already failed the tests. They are good schools, too — schools in Overland Park, Olathe and Lawrence. At this rate, it's not
Department of Education will NCLB will fail, it's only a matter of time. It's an impossible expectation — reaching 100 percent passing rates — just as it's likely impossible for you to ace all of your exams during finals week. In the coming years education reform ought to be a bigger part of our nation's political landscape. The programs must make sense, and it's the federal government that must outline and suggest a respectable plan with attainable goals.
going to take the estimated 10 to 25 years for the percentages of schools failing to arrive at 100 percent; a vast majority of schools will be failing these tests very soon. And here is the kicker: What makes the entire program almost hard to believe is that it's not funded. This massive mandate came down from the Bush administration and Congress, costing millions of dollars, without giving the States extra funding to help compensate. In many cases the amount of money the states have put towards education has gone down. Fred Rodriguez, dean of education at the University of Kansas, expects the system to break down in about two years. Rodriguez does not expect NCLB to be scrapped entirely but does expect a large reform to take place. And it seems the breakdown has already begun, the state of Hawaii has filed a lawsuit against the federal government citing the lack of funding. As more and more schools begin to fail, the crunch on each state's Department of Education will become tighter.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Kline's subpeona for rape victims' medical records protects children
There are few issues that illicit as much emotional conflagration as that of abortion. It comes as little surprise then, that Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline's inquiry into 90 of the several thousand late-term abortions performed by George Tiller has people from all over the political spectrum up in arms. The facts surrounding Kline's actions and the system of law designed to arbitrate those actions are put on the backburner in the process of ideological ranting.
In the March 15 editorial in The University Daily Kansan, several crucial details were omitted and spurious personal attacks were made. It is essential to the integrity of the debate that everything is fully disclosed. As many as 78 of the 90 women whose medical records are in question are under the age of 15. Kansas law clearly states that sexual activity with anyone aged 15 and under is rape, even if both the parties involved are minors. The only plausible deduction? Over 70 children in Kansas have been raped. It is the Attorney General's duty to protect the citizenry of our state, specifically those who lack the capacity to defend themselves, like children.
Obtaining information through the acquisition of medical records is the only way, short of the girls coming forward to charge the perpetrators of their rape, to prosecute these crimes. As everyone knows, it is excruciatingly difficult for victims of domestic abuse to come forward for fear of their well-being. Multiply that by an order of magnitude, and you have some idea of the dire predicament these girls face.
The Attorney General cannot get a subpoena on a whim. The action must be approved by a district judge. This situation was no different Federal law, in fact, mandates that this be done if the information obtained may pertain to a criminal investigation. The rape of 78 girls demands this be done.
It is important to keep the medical records of these girls from the public, as Kline has pledged to do. The Kansas Supreme Court recently reinstated the gag order to ensure this. Interestingly, Tiller routinely sells the same information, under consent of the patient, to other agencies to use for such purposes as marketing and genetic research. The corollary assertion that Kline's actions will lead to the exposure of these women is apocryphal at best and outright dishonest at worst. Everyone involved is intent on not allowing that to happen.
As tragic as the violation of a child's innocence is, there is even more than that at issue. Tiller's Web site, drtiler.com, states: "If we reasonably believe you are a victim of abuse, neglect or domestic violence, we may disclose PHI (Protected Health Information) to a government authority, including a social service or protective services agency, authorized by law to receive report of such abuse, neglect or domestic violence." By the doctor's own admission, Kline's actions are necessary given the rape of 78 minors who walked through Tiller's door. Kansas law states that post-viability abortions, generally beyond 22 weeks, may only be performed under two circumstances: 1) The abortion is necessary to preserve the life of the pregnant woman; or 2) Continuation of the pregnancy will cause a substantial, irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman. It is impossible for Kline to verify that Kansas law has been met without the proper information concerning the health of the women involved.
Kline is not acting as a "zealous reactionary," but as an elected representative of the people of Kansas. This case clearly presents probable cause for Kline's actions. He should not be the subject of vitriolic character assassinations simply for performing the duty of his office.

Evolution misconstrued; Beliefs shouldn't cloud facts
PETER MORRIS
In Vince Myers' March 10 column, "Intelligent design reasonable, but doesn't resemble science," several of his points were accurate, but he said several things that were twisted or misrepresentative, and others that were just plain wrong.
JUSTIN GRAMARYE
opinion@kansan.com
I'll limit myself to address-
ing his misconceptions about science.
ing his misconceptions about his history. In his background section, Myers stated that the science "faction" believed that "evolution is the untouchable truth of biology" and that "it should not be taught alongside anything else, and it should not be questioned in a science classroom."
While the first part is more or less true, in that evolution has been repeatedly proven to occur — contrary to what he said later in the column — and is accepted as fact by better than 99 percent of biologists, the second part is misleading.
Evolution should be questioned, along with everything else that is taught in a science classroom. That is exactly how science works, and how the bugs are worked out of any developing idea.
the bugs are worked out in evolutionary theory, and throwing those kinds of questions at it is exactly how those unclear points will be clarified. Bring them on.
As for being taught alongside something else, I challenge anyone to present another explanation to compete with evolution that will stand up to similarly rigorous scientific inquiry. Intelligent design has repeatedly failed that test.
Toward the end Myers added a quote from Ichthyology professor Ed Wiley, who is a zoologist who studies fish, that "no one has ever experienced evolution directly," and that therefore evolution cannot be said to be a fact. I contacted Wiley, who confirmed that the quote was not used in context.
in context:
What Wiley had intended to say was that because of the way evolution works at the population level, no individual organism ever directly experiences evolution. All an individual can do is live or die, reproduce or not. It's the sum of those data across a large group of organisms that constitute evolution.
On the other hand, the process of evolution has
been proven countless times by scientists all over the world, on a wide variety of organisms.
Perhaps the best and easiest to understand example is that of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. With more and more bacteria getting exposed to antibiotics
though normal use, periodically a mutant appears that is unaffected by the chemicals that would normally kill them.
While its companions are dying around it, this new germ isn't dying — it's surviving, thriving and reproducing. The less fit die off, leaving the more fit behind to continue the lineage. That's evolution.
Another quote from Wiley, used with permission: "Evolution is a natural process and thus as factual as other natural processes, such as gravity."
I commend Myers for comparing the theory of evolution to the theory of gravity, which has also been repeatedly proven, in myriad contexts, even though no one knows how gravity actually works.
While graviton particles have been speculated about, so far they haven't actually been identified. But that then begs the question, does he doubt the theory of gravity as well?
Another thing Myers said that is perfectly on target is that science cannot prove or disprove the existence of any god. It is therefore outside the realm of science, and science ignores it. Whether or not God exists is irrelevant to the pursuit of science.
On the other hand, there are a great many Christian "Darwinists" in the world. The two are not mutually exclusive, though many from both sides would have you think so.
A belief in evolution does not necessarily mean, nor require, a lack of belief in God. However, a person's inability to reconcile what science has proven with what their church tells them they're supposed to believe does not mean that the facts should suffer. Whether or not a person believes will not change the truth.

DESIGN
Class designs fishing tools to lure anglers
Kellv Hutsell/KANSAN
SUPERMAN
Zach Koenig, Plymouth, Minn., senior, jokes around during a break in his "Industrial Design IV" studio class. The class has been making designs for new fishing devices, some of which hang on the walls in front of Koenig. Students will present their designs at the beginning of April.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Industrial design students have a challenge: Create a fishing product to attract young people to the sport that costs less than $20 to buy.
For some of the students, there's another problem: They're vegetarian.
"It's kind of strange thinking up different ways to kill living things." Ben Thompson, Ottawa senator, said.
Moral dilemmas aside, Thompson and Sean McCue, Roeland Park senior and a vegetarian, worked on creating a product aimed at the youth market for Zebco, a Claremore, Okla., fishing gear company for his "Industrial Design IV" studio class.
Instead of focusing his product on catching fish. McCue made a product to help anglers cast best and would be a game for children.
The user throws the target out and tries to catch them with the fishing rod. This practice helps the angler's aim and casting technique. McCue said.
McCue plans on making the targets biodegradable in case they float too far away to be retrieved.
"Fishermen are wanting to preserve this kind of hobby." McCue said. The targets won't harm the lake, McCue said.
Thompson created a bobber — a plastic float attached to the fishing line to keep bait at a certain depth — that keeps the hook next to the bobber until it hits water.
This prevents the hook from being caught in the angler's skin or clothes when casting, Thompson said.
Before designing, students split into research groups to
study Zebco's competition, why or why not people fish and fishing technology.
This research helped the students get a better grasp of the sport because most of the students haven't fished for a long time, said David Starr, adjunct professor of industrial design.
Bryce Ludwig, Olathe senior is developing a reel with a digital screen that shows how much line the user casts and other statistics, aimed at keeping children 12 to 16 years old from being bored while fishing.
The reel will give the fisher something to do while waiting for a fish to bite. Ludwig said.
Students are developing their designs from a variety of methods including sketches, three-dimensional rendering software and clav models.
Students will present their prototypes to Zebco representatives April 11.
The assignment gives Zebco an untainted look at fishing from a younger generation, said Marde Burke, manager of industrial design for Zebco.
Three of the designs will be selected to get an interview for a summer internship with Zebco, and a fishing trip to Lake Texoma in Oklahoma, Burke said.
Thompson said he would pass on the fishing trip.
"I would ask for the cash equivalent," the vegetarian said. "Maybe I could sell it on eBay."

MOVIE REVIEW
'Ring Two' lacks suspense
BY STEPHEN SHUPE
sshupe@hansan.com
JAPAY MOVIE REVIEWER
The Japanese horror craze continues with director Hideo Nakata's sequel to 2002's terrifying "The Ring."
THE RING TWO
That film, based on Nakata's Japanese horror blockbuster "Ringu," spawned a series of Hollywood remakes that includes 2004's "The Grudge." Despite a promising beginning and a crowd-pleasing finale, "The Ring Two" is the least satisfying of the series so far.
Too bad then, that the film's suspense evaporates so quickly. Screenwriter Ehren Kruger, who also wrote the first "Ring," doesn't play off our anticipatory fears the way he did before. There's no death-wish count-down to the seventh day in "The Ring Two," and the film draps between the horror scenes.
In the interim, big-city reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) has packed up her young son Aidan (David Dorfman) and moved to a seaside town in
In the film's opening, which begins in Lawrence today at South Wind 12 Theatres, 3433 Iowa St., two lascivious teens named Jake (Ryan Merriman) and Emily (Emily VanCamp) settle down to watch a video. Yes, that video — the one that kills you seven days after you watch it. Nakata picks up where the original film left off, where even the simple sound of a telephone ring adds new layers of dread.
Stars: ☆☆ (out of four)
Rating: PG-13
Run time: 109 minutes
Venue: South Wind 12
Director: Hideo Nakata
Oregon, Samara (Kelly Stables), the evil ghost behind the deadly videotape, still haunts Aidan's dreams. She's looking for a new mother, her previous guardian having sealed her in a deep well before plummeting from a cliff.
The King虹60 images on a familiar horror trope: demonic possession. Samara possesses Aidan in the hope of replacing him as Rachel's child. This means much of the film rests on Dorfman's slender shoulders. Nakata makes clever use of Dorfman's expressive eyes to reveal Samara's point of view, and the actor's creaky falsetto voice reminded me of Danny Lloyd screaming "Red rum! Red rum!" in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining."
Nakata and Kruger allude to the Andrea Yates case. Much like the mentally ill Texas mother who submerged her five children in a bathtub, Rachel suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to Aidan.
The filmmakers rely heavily on details from the original film, and this modest sequel is best
viewed as a double feature with "The Ring."
Nakata has risked confounding his audience by refusing to reiterate the rules set up in the first film. If you've forgotten about Samara's knack for freaking out animals, a key sequence involving a heard of charging deer will come across as silly and utterly bizarre.
Confusion and boredom gives us ample time to pick through holes in the plot. The original "Ring" may have failed to cohere completely, but we were too busy cowering in terror to notice. "The Ring Two" isn't nearly as scary, so we're left wondering why Samara can't hear Rachel and Aidan in their dreams.
Nakata excels at flourishes of versatile horror, especially in the scene where Samara performs a suspenseful crab walk up a wall. But most of the film involves lukewarm scactics, such as water seeping under doors. Like many Japanese filmmakers, Nakata latches onto symbolic imagery, and his style often rubs up against the conventions of mainstream American horror.
After "We Don't Live Here Anymore" and "I Heart Huckabees," "The Ring Two" is a rare misstep for Watts. Her voice barely rises above a whisper before the film's surprisingly satisfying conclusion, which doesn't leave the door open for a sequel in the same way the original did.

Intramurals offer break from NCAA Tournament
The madness starts today.
No, I'm not talking about the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Yes, Kansas does open up tournament play tonight with its first-round match-up against Bucknell, beginning the seniors' last run and last opportunity for a national championship. And yes, that's a road that will certainly be filled with drama and climax at every turn.
But the madness I'm referring to right now is a little closer to home than Oklahoma City, Syracuse and St. Louis. It's at Nismith and 18th streets.
I'm talking about the Rock Chalk Classic at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. Up to 14 men's and women's intramural teams are set to square off in a single-elimination tournament for the opportunity to compete in the National Intramural Basketball Championships April 15 to 17 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
Most of the competing teams are from the University of Kansas, but Washburn, Southern Illinois, Oklahoma State and Eastern Kentucky are also represented, in most cases sending the cream of their intramural basketball crops. Throw in 46 out-of-state staff members from locations such as Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida, and all the T-shirts, hoopla and trophies, and what you have is an intramural tournament like nothing Kansas has put on before.
"It's our own little version of March Madness," said Kurt Schooley, assistant director of sports programs.
Schooloy and the rest of the recreation services staff came up with the idea to host the tournament last spring and formally applied in the fall to be a regional site. Since then, it's been a process of securing sponsorships and hotel reservations for incoming staff, ordering the T-shirts and trophies and soliciting teams. Schooloy said the work required 100 volunteers and staffers. It was work, he said, that would pay off this weekend.
The University is one of eight regional host sites around the country, with the victors from each region advancing to the championship at Georgia Tech.
Schooley said he figured being associated with the KU name and basketball tradition would be a draw. He said that it would be an opportunity to show off the new recreation center.
Bant is a Colorado Springs, Colo., senior in journalism.
The Kansas legacy drew at least one competitor from Southern Illinois. Senior Maggie Rodeffer made the four-and-a-half hour car trip to Lawrence yesterday with several teammates. She said she had always rooted for the lavwhaws.
jeeynawks.
"I'm a big KU fan," Rodede said. "Everyone makes fun of me because I'm from Illinois. For me, it's a big deal."
Rodeffer comes with a team that took second in her school's intramural competition and said winning the national bid would be a blast. But she said she was more interested in having fun competing and hanging out in Lawrence.
You might call Rodeffer a veteran of these "extramural" competitions. She's worked on the staff at a couple and played in a flag football tournament.
"It's a lot of fun to go and participate against people from other schools," she said.
On the surface, Schooley said the tournament this weekend wouldn't look much different than a normal intramural basketball tournament — except, of course, for the T-shirts and hoopla and slicker-looking officiating crews that have three people instead of the usual two. The officiating crews are themselves part of the competition because the best officials, which are selected by a committee, go to nationals.
Schooley also said the bleachers would be arranged to accommodate more spectators. So, if for whatever reason you tire this weekend of the wall-to-wall tournament coverage or develop lesions from sitting on the couch too long, head down to the recreation center to catch some live action of athletes battling for a different kind of championship.
"I intramural sports is not varsity basketball." Schoolie says. "It's not even club sports. These are people that just love to play."

OKLAHOMA CITY — When Keith Langford woke up yesterday morning, he was surprised to flip on the television and hear CBS report he wasn't going to play in the Jayhawks' game against Bucknell on Friday.
That was the word that came out of the Jayhawk camp before they left on Wednesday, but Langford, senior guard, said if the decision was up to him, he would play.
"The doctor says it's still questionable, but if you ask me, I'm going." Langford said.

Former Kansas player works hard in NBA offseason to help Cavaliers

Editor's Note: Kansan sports-writer Frank Tankard will profile a former Kansas men's basketball player each day this week, leading up to the Jayhawks' first game tonight. Each player featured took the court for the Jayhawks sometime during the last four years. This is the last installment of the five-part series.
The first thing Drew Gooden did was buy a house. The Memphis Grizzlies had selected him as the fourth pick of the 2002 NBA draft, and he figured he'd be there for a long time, maybe raise a family there some day.
Three years and two teams later, Gooden, a former Kansas All-American, isn't about to start planting seeds.
Now in the midst of a season with the Cleveland Cavaliers in which he's averaging 14.1 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, he has a different take on NBA life than he had when he left Kansas after his junior year as the program's 14th all-time leading scorer.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Drew Gooden, right, waits for a rebound with Utah Jazz forward Anborel Kirilenko Tuesday. Gooden has had some success in support of superstar LeBron James, but he said he was hesitant to plan roots anywhere. Cleveland is Gooden's third NBA city since he left Kansas in 2002.

The Jayhawks won't compete in any meets until the Tulsa Invitational on March 26. After competing in the Big 12 Championship, the Last Chance Meets, and the National Indoor Championships in the last three weeks, the Jayhawks will take some time off from competing.
"We will let them enjoy
their accomplishments in the indoor season, and also enjoy their time off," coach Stanley Redwine said. "But we have to continue to get better, and to do our very best in the outdoor."
After sending just one athlete, Leo Bookman, to nationals last year, Kansas sent six athletes this season. Three of them achieved All-American status: senior Jeremy Mims in the 800-meter run, senior Amy Linnen in the pole vault, and junior Sheldon Battle in the shot put.

Bucknell prepares for KU defense

ELEGANCE
OKLAHOMA CITY — When Bucknell coach Pat Flannery arrived in Oklahoma City, he could hardly contain himself.
His team was playing in its first NCAA Tournament since 1989, and the locals were greeting him with open arms.
"We're just trying to take it all in," Flannery said. "We're trying to do and see as much as we can. If you've got a tour going somewhere let us know, because we'll take it with you."
Flannery has good reason to be excited. The Bison finished off a breakthrough year, in which they defeated Pittsburgh on the road and won the Patriot League Tournament.
His team was rewarded for its efforts with a No.14 seed and the opportunity to pull off the upset of third-seeded Kansas.
"The mood of our team hasn't changed since we won the Patriot League Tournament," Bucknell junior guard Charles Lee said. "We're still on cloud nine, and just enjoying the moment."
All that joy seemed to end yesterday afternoon during the Jayhawks' shoot around, though. Flannery said he sent his assistant coaches to watch Kansas, while he ate ribs at a nearby restaurant.
"Coach," one of them said. "That Simien kid is pretty big."
Kansas senior forward Wayne Simien has caused problems for just about every opponent Kansas has played this season. He averages a double-double, and Flannery said containing Simien would be a key to his team's success.
"He's certainly going to be a challenge," Flannery said. "We're going to try to keep him off balance, but he's

going to get his. He's proved that all year long."
Bucknell players agreed with Flannery, but said Simien would only be a part of their concerns defensively.
"Defensively, we're going to have our hands full," Lee said. "Simien is a presence down low, but we need to keep their other players in front of us. When their guards start penetrating the lane, they are real tough to stop."
The Bison have played stellar defense all year long. In the Patriot League Tournament they held two teams to less than 40 points and controlled the offensive pace by slowing

the game down.
Bucknell has a balanced scoring attack, with three players averaging more than 10 points a game. The half-court offense is built around getting the ball inside to senior forward Chris McNaughton. 12.2 points per game, but when the Bison get the chance to run, they take it.
Junior guard Kevin Bettencourt, 12.7 points per game, and Lee, 12.5 points per game, are both solid ball handlers and shooters. Each of them play more than 30 minutes a game.
After studying tape all week,

how good they are.
"Anyone who has studied Bucknell knows this will be a difficult game," Self said. "They control the tempo of the game and defend really well."
Flannery said he was still amazed with how great being in the NCAA Tournament felt, but he was confident that his team would approach tonight's game just like any other.
"We're going to do everything possible to play Kansas tough," he said. "My players know it's all about tipping off at 8:40."

Baseball players testify about league's drug use
BY HOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — On Capitol Hill instead of a baseball field, wearing suits instead of uniforms, they walked into the room, stars all, forced by subpoena to testify before Congress whether they cheated by using steroids.
Heads turned, strobes flashed and necks craned to get a glimpse of the humbled heroes.
Five current and former players, three of them among the 10 leading home run hitters in history, bemoaned steroids as a problem for their sport but denied they are widespread.
No matter how hard the congressmen tried, McGwire wouldn't say.
Mark McGwire hemmed and hawed, his voice choked with emotion, his eyes nearly filled with tears. Time after time yesterday, he refused to answer the question everyone wanted to know: Did he take illegal steroids in the historic home run summer of 1998 or any other time?
On a day of extraordinary theater at the House Government Reform Committee, McGwire sat at a wooden table, his accuser, Jose Canseco, at the other end. Also there, sitting biceps-to-biceps, were Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling.
"If a player answers 'No,' he simply will not be believed," McGwire said in his opening statement. "If he answers 'Yes,' he risks public scorn and endless government investigations."
Canseco raised his hand, took the oath and repeated the admissions and accusations in his best-selling tell-all book, "juiced": He used steroids himself, and they were rampant in the game. Sosa and Palmeiro and Schilling said they didn't use them.
Schilling backtracked from his earlier claims of rampant steroid use, saying "the issue was grossly overstated by people, including myself." He estimated that only five to 10 of his teammates in the last 15 years used steroids but said he had never actually seen anyone take the drugs.
Commissioner Bud Selig later said the extent of steroids in baseball had been blown out of proportion.
"Did we have a major problem? No," he said. "So let me say this to you: There is no concrete evidence of that, there is no testing evidence, there is no other kind of evidence."
WOMEN'S GOLF
McGwire repeatedly avoided direct responses, saying his lawyers advised him not to answer certain questions. Often, he said he couldn't answer or had no opinion because "I'm retired."
Peering over reading glasses, McGwire fidgeted as he looked up at the congressmen, no longer the larger-than-life figure who was the greatest single-season home run hitter ever.
Asked by Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md), whether he was asserting his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself, McGwire said: "I'm not here to talk about the past. I'm here to be positive about this subject."
Jayhawks have opportunity to compete in NCAA regional
After coming back from a long weekend in Texas, the Jayhawks left Lawrence on Wednesday for the LSU Cleveland Classic in Baton Rouge, La.
They started first-round play today. The LSU Cleveland Classic is Kansas' third tournament this semester, played at Louisiana State's home course, the University Club. The Jayhawks did not have time to fix all of their problems, players said.
"Mainly I was focusing on my short game and chipping," sophomore Amanda Costner said. "Long chips, 40- and 50-yard pitches, that kind of stuff."
Coach Erin O'Neil said she walked with the players for nine holes in practice and had each tell what she was thinking on each shot.
"I just tried to help them with course management and figure out their thought process," O'Neil said.
Kansas has struggled this spring, placing second to last in both of its tournaments.
"We're by no means out of it," O'Neil said. "Our conference tournament, if we do well there, it will definitely help us. We are working hard and it will pay off."
O'Neil said she would look at every tournament as a stepping stone. Those steps could be big enough to make it to the NCAA Midwest Regional.
The Big 12 Conference Championship is still more than a month away.
"I feel that we are starting to get going, and am confident that our team will do well," Costner said.

When the Memphis Grizzlies started the 2002-03 season with 10 straight losses, Gooden, seven months removed from playing in the Final Four, was not digging it. KU players are not used to losing.

To make matters worse, coach Doc Rivers never seemed to find a place for him, Gooden said. Half the time, Gooden would start on the bench, which was something new for him.
After 51 games with a 12.1-point scoring average, the Grizzlies traded Gooden to the Orlando Magic. He sold his house in Memphis and left town a little wiser.
"I didn't know we'd be in last place in Tennessee," he said. "It was a learning experience."
The situation turned out well for Gooden. He started all but one of Orlando's 19 remaining games and, best of all, he got to play in the playoffs as his former Memphis teammates watched from home.
After losing in the first round to the Detroit Pistons, Gooden went into the off season with high hopes once again.
But those hopes were demolished when the Magic started with a 1-20 record in 2003. This time he had to endure the league's worst season in its entirety.
Meanwhile, Memphis improved to a 50-32 record and made the playoffs. Gooden felt like he was cursed.
"That was the most down point in my career," he said.
Gooden wanted this season to be different. Maybe, playing alongside young phenom LeBron James, he could re-establish himself as the dominating player he was at Kansas.
Some people said that was never going to happen.
"There were a lot of question marks," he said. "I felt like all eyes were on me coming to Cleveland."
shelled out $600 per week to work with well-respected trainer Anthony Slater.
"He was one of the most coachable athletes I've worked with," Slater said. "He wasn't here to get a quick sweat and leave. He was here to take something away from it."
So he called up a high-end sports club in Los Angeles and

Roy Williams, former Kansas coach, who talked to Gooden on Monday, said this patient attitude had gradually developed in Gooden through the years.
"I think with each and every year he's gotten more mature and more focused." Williams said.
Gooden also practiced his jump shot and post moves hours a day. He wanted to be a more complete player.
"I spent two months straight to trying to get my body and my mind right," he said.
Now he is having the most consistent season of his career for the Cavaliers, who, with a record of 52-28, are on the brink of making the playoffs for the first time since 1998.
Gooden's biggest improvement has been in rebounding. His team-leading 9.5 rebounds per game ranks 12th in the league, which is no small feat considering he has to share the boards with Cleveland's 7-foot-3 center, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who ranks second in the league in offensive rebounds.
However, he has been streaky at times shooting the ball this season. He scored a career-high 33 points against Milwaukee Jan. 30, but has also scored in single-digits in one out of every four games.
Coach Paul Silas left Gooden out of the starting lineup for the first time all season for two games at the start of March. Gooden has since come back to help the team win three of its last for games.
Gooden said he would like to settle down for a few years with the Cavaliers. But he's not banking on it. He knows better.
"I love to be here, love to play here, love to win here and I'd love to win a championship here," he said. "But it's all just goals and dreams. You never really know."

was being interviewed by reporters because on one side of him, freshmen forward Alex Galindo and freshman guard Russell Robinson were pinching his feet. On the other side, his roommate, sophomore guard Jeremy Case, was dancing to a song playing on his iPod.
Jayhawks
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The jayhawks were clearly having fun.
Slightly more calm and reserved than the underclassmen were senior forward Wayne Simien and senior guard Aaron Miles. After finishing his interviews, Simien sat in the back corner of the locker room and read a book. Aaron Miles just smiled. He had a look on his face that said it all.
Junior forward Moulaye Niang gave one of the earpieces on his headphones to sophomore guard Nick Bahe. Soon after, the two were up dancing around the locker room, still sharing a set of headphones. It's quite a sight to see a 6-foot-10 man share headphones with a 6-foot-2 man while dancing around a crowded locker room. It made all of the players around roar with laughter.
"We are anxious," Miles said
as a big grin crossed his face. "It's our last chance. It's our last opportunity to accomplish a goal that we set when we got here."
"We're going to want to play." Giddens said. "You see a lot of teams losing, and we're not ready to do that."
The Jayhawks will start their journey into the NCAA Tournament tonight when they face Bucknell at 8:40 p.m. in the Ford Center, which is where a large number of Kansas fans gathered yesterday to watch the Jayhawks' 6 p.m. practice.
Giddens said he might be more anxious tomorrow.
The players arrived at the Ford Center at 5:30 p.m. for their 6 p.m. shoot-around.
Kansas held its final full practice before the Bucknell game at noon yesterday at Oklahoma City University. It lasted about two hours and was closed to the public. After practice the team visited the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial.
About 5 minutes before it was scheduled to start, a loud stomping sound filled the otherwise quiet Ford Center. Children wearing their Jayhawk gear suddenly stormed through bleachers, thunderding echoes through the arena. They all carried sharpies and pieces of
They were waiting for the Jayhawks to arrive for the shoot-around. The problem was, they were all crowding around the wrong tunnel.
memorabilia in hand.
When they found out the Jayhawks would enter at the other end of the gym, they pushed and shoved their way across the arena.
He said he suffered a setback Wednesday with the flu-like sickness that has been bothering him for a week.
Loud cheers erupted from the fans when the Jayhawks, wearing their blue practice uniforms, took the court. They got even louder when Keith Langford came out, dressed in full practice attire.
Langford practiced yesterday in the Jayhawks' closed noon practice at Oklahoma City University. After the shootaround, Langford said he would try to play tonight if the training staff cleared him.
mistic about Langford's condition saying that he was feeling much better than he did Wednesday.
"With the training staff, there are still some questions, but if you ask me then I will go," Langford said.
Kansas coach Bill Self said Langford would have an input into the decision to play tomorrow, but it would be up to the coaching staff to decide how much to play him. Self was opti-
"Well, Wednesday he was zero percent, so I would say he is feeling much better today." Self said.
During the shoot-around, the Jayhawks did some passing, shooting and full-court drills, but did not do a full speed workout.
Junior guard left Hawkins got a charley horse in his left thigh and had to be attended to by the trainer. After the shoot-around, he said that he felt fine.
The Jayhawks spent the last 18 minutes of practice putting on a dunk show for the fans. Oklahoma City native and freshman forward Darnell Jackson slammed a 180-degree dunk and received an ovation from the audience.
The Jayhawks headed back to their hotel 20 minutes north of downtown at about 7:45 last night.
Senior guard Mike Lee said it might be a rough night of sleep.
"We'll all probably loose a lift to sleep tonight because everyone on this team is excited," Lee said. "We're just excited to get it started. It's tourney time."

flu-like symptoms that have plagued him for more than a week. On top of that, the left ankle that he injured in the March 6 game against Missouri is still not 100 percent.
But yesterday, Langford said the illness was his biggest concern.
Langford worked out with
"Neither one of them are perfect," he said. "With the combination of both, my health has been pretty volatile for a while. I feel a lot better though. I had the unfortunate relapse, and they are just going to watch me over the course of the night and make a decision."

the team at the noon practice yesterday in Oklahoma City University. He said he felt good, but it was difficult to judge his stamina without going hard.
"It wouldn't surprise me if he were able to be effective," Self said. "But I can tell you what, he was zero percent yesterday so if he is up to 100 percent it has been a miraculous turn-around."
Kansas coach Bill Self said it would be Langford's decision on whether to play, but the coaches would decide how to use him. He said he wouldn't put it past Langford, who played through the NCAA Tournament last year with an injured knee, to play Friday.
If he is able to play, Langford would most likely not start, Self said. He would start senior
"Being a senior and being in the position that I am, there would have to be a lot going on for me not to go out there and try to play," Langford said.
But Langford had a positive attitude. He said he just wanted to get out there and play.
"That is the great thing about the game. It can bring you so much joy and so much pain at the same time, but I am sure that I will be able to get out there and participate to some extent," Langford said.
He said the trainers would watch him overnight and evaluate him in the morning, but the final word was that he would try to play.

Today's Birthday
- Today's Birthday!
True love is able to find you this year,
perhaps a familiar package. With
that in your arsenal, you really don't
need much of anything else.
- Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6.
Don't try to fix the problems you're facing at home by yourself. That's never going to work. Get help from everybody involved. It's your only chance.
- Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
If you keep your nose to the grind-stone, by later today you'll be ready to frolic. And even better yet, you'll have both the time and the money. That's just the way you like it.
- Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 5.
If you have handled the situation wisely over the last few days, great wealth can be your today and tomorrow. If not, well, it's proportionate.
+ Canon (June 22 - July 22) Today is a 7.
At last, the path ahead is clear. Your
success seems assured. All you have to do is go from here to there, but watch out for bumps.
- Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5.
Stand back and let the others argue.
Let yourself be educated. By the time
you make your decision, the answer
will be obvious.
- Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8.

the wonderful things you have
accomplished. Just see how far
you've come.
+ Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 5. An item you thought was out of reach may be affordable now. The trick is to get someone else, like a bank, to go into the deal with you. Get the best rate you can find.

you don't have to go it alone. Use
what you've recently learned to help
you choose a perfect assistant.
- Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6. You might choose to go back to work to find some peace and quiet. It's not a bad scheme, since the money you can earn looks pretty generous now.
+ Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8. A recent conflict is forgotten, well almost, anyway. Let it go and sooner or later the others will do the same.

No spring break vacation for Jayhawks
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
As students pack up for a week at the beach or some time on the ski slopes, the Kansas baseball team is preparing for a week filled with games.
Starting this afternoon against Western Illinois, Kansas (17-8) begins the first of seven spring break games. The week will feature a three-game series at home against the Leathernecks, followed by one game against. Southwest Missouri State and ending with the Big 12 Conference opener against Nebraska.
Western Illinois (4-14) comes in to today's game amidst an 11-game losing streak. Wednesday night, the Leathernecks fell to Oklahoma State and lost to Wichita State last night.
Coached by Stian Hyman, Western Illinois is hitting. 285 as a team with a 9.65 team ERA.
Senior outfieldier Kyle Malan leads the team in batting average at .379 and has collected 21 RBI.
Baty
"Western Illinois is a pretty solid ball club. I remember last year they had a lot of good arms on their t e a m , " Richardson said.
T h e
Jayhawks will face considerable challenges in several of the break's games, and will need all players, including injured junior outfielder Matt Baty. Baty has been sidelined the last four games with an ankle injury, but coach Ritch Price said he would play on a limited basis this weekend.
Wednesday, the Jayhawks head to Springfield, Mo., to take on the SMS Bears (4-11) for the second time this season. Kansas won game one, 8-4.
Coached by Keith Guttin, the Bears are mired in a five-game losing streak. They will take on Middle Tennessee State in a three-game series before facing Kansas.
Kansas will open up the Big
12 against a Nebraska team that is second in the conference. Nebraska (14-2) is ranked No. 21 in the Collegiate Baseball poll and No. 23 in the Baseball America poll.
"We are a lot better than we were at the start of the season and we're going to have to be better because the teams are going to be a lot better," junior shortstop Ritchie Price said.
The Jayhawks' improvement will be put to the test against a Nebraska club whose two losses were against Southern California and Texas State. Both losses were by one.
tosses well Nebraska's .334 batting average isn't much better than Kansas'. .315, but that. .334 comes from a team that beat 2003 World Series champion Rice earlier this season.
Rice earlier this season Junior infielders Brandon Buckman and Alex Gordon lead a line-up that consists of nine batters hitting over 300.
Buckman leads the starters at 451 and has knocked in 15 RBI this season. Gordon ties for first on the team with five home runs
SPRING BREAK SCHEDULE
The Kansas baseball team will keep busy during spring break. The Jayhawks have four nonconference games before the Big 12 Conference season starts March 25 at Hoglund Ballpark. All games are played in Lawrence, except the game on March 23, which is in Springfield, Mo.

Nebraska finished eighth in the Big 12 last season, but is first in the league in pitching this year. As a staff, the Cornhusker pitchers lead the Big 12 with a 1.58 ERA. The Jayhawks will likely face sophomore Joba Chamberlain (3-0) in the three-game series. The right-hander leads all Big 12 pitches with a 0.36 ERA. He is also averaging
13. 5 strikeouts per nine innings.
"We're better against plusvelocity guys," Ritch Price said. "These kids in our dugout have been fastball hitters their whole lives."
Senior cather Sean Richardson remains a team leader both at the plate and in
lives.
To be successful, Kansas will need better-than-average performances from its stars.
the dugout. With a .365 average and 18 RBI, the Johnny Bench Award candidate is a big factor in the team's success.
Other vital members of the Kansas club are junior outfielders A.J. Van Slyke and Gus Milner. The pair continues to lead the team in extra base hits.
Van Slyke knocked out his team-leading sixth home run of the season on Wednesday. He also heads the line-up in batting average at .377 and RBI with 26.
Milner, posting a .359 batting average, has collected nine doubles and three triples.
On the mound, the Jayhawks will likely lead their rotation with senior left-handed pitcher Mike Zagurski (3-2). The lefty currently posts a 3.55 ERA and has thrown 53 strikeouts and 14 walks. Also vital to the pitching staff is junior right-hander Kodiak Quick (6-1) who has a 2.78 ERA.
Spring break baseball begins at 3 p.m. today at Hoglund Ballpark.

Kansas plays with pain to defend championship

The Kansas men's golf team will head to the remote town of Stevinson, Calif., Saturday to play in the Stevinson Ranch Intercollegiate. The Jayhawks enter the tournament coming off of a fourth-place finish at the Louisiana Classics Invitational on March 8.
and then won again in 2004.
Kansas enter the tournament at Stevinson Ranch as the defending champions. The Jayhawks have won the Stevinson Ranch Intercollegiate five out of the past six years. Kansas won the tournament four years in a row from 1998 to 2002.
PETER N. SCHNEIDER
Coach Ross Randall is excited for next week because of the team's record at Stevinson Ranch.
"We know that we have
had a lot of success there in the past," Randall said. "It's really a great golf course because it's tough and long, and it has sort of a Scottish-type feel."
Stevinson Ranch, located in the San Joaquin Valley, is a par 72 and just longer than 7,200 yards. Stevinson Ranch is similar to the

Price
Jayhawks home course, the public course at Alvamar Golf and Country Club.
"I think that playing the Alvamar public course really helps us for when we head
to Stevinson because it's so long," Randall said. "Stevinson has wide fairways like Alvamar but if you don't find the fairway off the tee, you won't find your ball."
The Jayhawks, who are ranked No. 38 in the nation, will go to California with six players. Sophomore Tyler Docking, senior Kevin Ward, senior Andrew Price, sophomore Gary Woodland and junior Pete Krsnich will start for the Jayhawks. A sixth Kansas golfer, yet to be named, will play in the tournament as an individual.
The team finished qualifying for the last slot in the tournament at Lawrence Country Club late yesterday.
Earlier this spring in Hawaii, Price shot a 63, the lowest round in Kansas golf history. The senior will play in his fourth Stevinson Ranch intercollegiate next week.
"I think that we all know this course pretty well because everyone has seen it before," Price said. "Hopefully we can just get everyone to click at the same

time because we really haven't done that yet this year."
Price and Docking will both play through minor injuries next week. Price has a sore left wrist and Docking has lower back pains. They have both visited team trainers since the team returned from Louisiana on
Coach Randall said he knew that the team could play well enough to win next week, but that there were some important factors that would determine the lavhawks' success.
"We really need Andrew to play well for us to succeed this week," Randall said. "His hand really kept him out of its last tournament, the other senior to guide the team while Price and Docking play through their pain."
The team leaves Lawrence on Saturday and plays a practice round Sunday. The tournament begins Monday.

Seniors deflated in defeat

Senior guard Keith Langford answers reporters' questions in the locker room. Langford's final game as a Jayhawk ended with an opening-round defeat against Bucknell, 64-63, March 18 in the Ford Center in Oklahoma City. Langford scored six points in 26 minutes of play.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
For the first time in their college careers, Kansas basketball players actually got to take a week off for spring break.
Not that they were too pleased about it.
Two weeks ago, when the Jayhawks were placed in the Syracuse region of the NCAA Tournament, the team envisioned its spring break would entail a trip to New York for the Sweet Sixteen and — if things went well — a match-up with an old coach named Roy.
an old coach named Roy.
Instead of Syracuse, Keith Langford went to Fort Worth,
Texas, and Mike Lee headed to Portland, Ore. Instead of heading east, J.R. Giddens and Darnell Jackson headed south and returned to Oklahoma City,
the place where the Jayhawks' tournament run was cut short — before it could ever get started.
Bucknell 64 Kansas 63
The teams' opening round loss was Kansas' first since 1978 and one of the most disappointing in school history. The fact that the four seniors' careers ended on Wayne Simien's missed 16-foot turnaround jump shot at the buzzer added to the devastation.
"That is the toughest game I've ever been a part of," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I don't know how to feel. I'm a little mad. I'm a little hurt. I feel bad for the players. I'm a little frustrated. It's a mixture of a lot of things."
It was all over TV and newspapers the next day. Everyone saw their tears; everyone saw Aaron Miles hunched against a wall in the Kansas locker room and saw the disappointment on Self's face.
What wasn't seen was Giddens embrace Miles after all of the reporters left the locker room. The cameras didn't capture the Jayhawks in the dining room of their hotel after the game. There was food there but nobody ate — they were too nauseated.
"I can't believe it's over," Miles said after the game. "I can't believe this is how my time at Kansas ended. Getting through the first round, that should be nothing."
The next morning, as the players loaded their bags onto the team bus, two young fans approached Miles. He looked better than he had the night before but still seemed dejected and sad.
One of the little boys handed Miles a sharpie and turned around so his idol could sign the back of his T-shirt.
"You the man Aaron," the little boy said.
Miles' face brightened just a little for the first time since the loss.
"Thanks man, I appreciate it." Miles responded.
Moving on
After arriving back in Lawrence last Saturday afternoon, Self made a point of meeting with all of the underclassmen before they went their separate ways for break. He talked to them about the loss and disappointment. Self said their attitudes were good.
Talking to the seniors though, was hard. He met extensively with Miles and Simien last Monday. Langford and Lee had already gone home.
"They spent a lot of time in here," Self said of Miles and Simien. "We talked about the disappointment. Talked about how this is going to sting for a while. They all handled it pretty well."
Self said he also talked to them about helping the younger guys make it through. Most, if not all, of whom are expected to be back on next year's roster.
Talk that Giddens would jump to the NBA quieted after he told reporters he would return for his junior season. Rumors have swirled that one of the freshmen, such as New York native Russell Robinson, would transfer to a school closer to home. Self said he didn't know exactly what would happen but he seemed optimistic about all of the underclassmen returning for next season.
"I'm not going to say positively this will happen or that will happen," Self said. "But all the meetings were positive."
Their legacy
All said that it shouldn't, that legacies shouldn't be defined by
Simien, Lee, Langford, Miles they were all asked if this game would tarnish the legacy they built at Kansas.

CITY COMMISSION
Ban not burning issue in election
Ordinance stays; sidewalk seating for bars a maybe
By JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Nearly a year after the city passed the smoking band, city commission candidates are still concerned with the ordinance. Although some candidates said they would consider changes to the ban, it is unlikely that any combination of commissioners will overturn the ban.
Three city commissioner seats are open for the April 5 election. Four of the five candidates favor the smoking ban. Only Sue Hack, an incumbent commissioner running for re-election, opposes the ban. Hack was the only commissioner to vote against the ban last July.
Mayor Mike Rundle and vice mayor Dennis Highberger both voted in favor of the ban.
Although a shift in the commission's stance on the ban seems unlikely, several of the candidates would consider amendments to the ordinance. A change to the city's requirements for sidewalk dining licenses is the most prominent idea among candidates.
Business owners in downtown Lawrence currently have to make 70 percent of their revenue from food sales to get a license that allows customers to eat and drink on the city's sidewalk. A proposed exception to the ordinance would allow businesses established before the smoking ban to obtain a

City commission candidates speak out of smoke. The smoking ban may still be a source of disagreement among bar patrons and owners, but four of the five candidates for city commission say it's a moot question.

Research facility will encourage interactivity

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Before the end of 2005, scientists will see the University of Kansas enhance its research in style.
The KU Center for Research has financed the $40 million multidisciplinary research building, which is expected to be completed on West Campus by December.
Architects designed the triangle-shaped 160,000 square foot building to enhance interactive research among its occupants, George Wilson, associate vice provost for research, said.
COLUMBIA COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Occupants were not limited to any specific college or department at the University.
All faculty offices will be located in one of the building's corners so faculty members can interact easily.
"If you go walk through Malot, you'll say 'Well where can this happen?' " he said. "The idea of putting people in one place interacting is the kind of interacting we need today."
The assistance between researchers makes constant interaction a requirement. Wilson said.
The quick completion demonstrated the University's commitment to enhancing its research as efficiently as possible, Wilson said. The $40 million came from bonds and will be paid off during the next 20 years, Barbara Armbrister, vice provost of research, said.
Wilson said he hoped the research in this building would create products that would enhance the University's economic development in the rest of the state.
Construction of a multidisciplinary research building continues to take place on West Campus although the site was free of workers on Easter Sunday. The building is in the shape of a triangle, and it will cover 160,000 square feet when completed. Completion of the building is scheduled for December. Once finished it will not be limited to any specific college or department.

SOCIAL ISSUES
Incomes vary by race, gender
BY GENARO C. ARMAS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Black and Asian women with bachelor's degrees earn slightly more than similarly educated white women, and white men with four-year degrees make more than anyone else.
A white woman with a bachelor's degree typically earned nearly $37,800 in 2003, compared with nearly $43,700 for a college-educated Asian woman and $41,100 for a college-educated black woman, according to data being released today by the Census Bureau. Hispanic women took home slightly less at $37,600 a year.
fessional women who take time off to have a child to return to the work force sooner than others.
The bureau did not say why the differences exist. Economists and sociologists suggest possible factors: the tendency of minority women, especially blacks, to more often hold more than one job or work more than 40 hours a week, and the tendency of black pro-
Employers in some fields may give extra financial incentives to young black women, who graduate from college at higher rates than young black men, said Roderick Harrison, a researcher at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a think tank that studies minority issues.
"Given the relative scarcity, if you are a woman in the sciences — if you are a black woman — you would be a rare commodity," Harrison said.
Because study in the area was limited, it was hard to pinpoint specific reasons, said Barbara Gault, research director at the Washington-based Institute for Women's Policy Research.
"It could be the fields that educated black women are choosing," she said.
"It also could be related to the important role that black women play in the total family income in African-
American families.
Notions that black women are struggling financially as much as other groups are should not be dismissed, Gault added.
For instance, nearly 39 percent of families headed by a single black woman were in poverty, compared with 21 percent of comparable white women, according to census estimates released last year.
A white male with a college diploma earns far more than any similarly educated man or woman — in excess of $66,000 a year, according to the Census Bureau. Among men with bachelor's degrees, Asians earned more than $52,000 a year, Hispanics earned $49,000 and blacks earned more than $45,000.
Workplace discrimination and the continuing difficulties of minorities to get into higher-paying management positions could help explain the disparities among men, experts say.

Adult dodgeball league to begin in Lawrence

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Tim Bartlett, 18-year-old Topeka resident, prepares to throw the ball at a league dodgeball game at the Rice Community Center in Topeka on March 20. Barlett is part of the Sunday night dodgeball league in Topeka, which consists of eight teams. Lawrence will have its own dodgeball league through the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department in April.
After several school districts in Texas and Virginia banned dodgeball for its violence, it has made a comeback as a recreational sport for adults who yearn to hurt balls as hard as possible at one another.
The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department is starting a dodgeball league April 6.
"We did kickball last year, and during the course of putting that on, we got a lot of inquiries about dodgeball," said Tim Laurent, staff member at Lawrence Parks and Recreation. "So we just went with it."
With the success of dodgeball programs in nearby cities and requests for it from the public, Laurent said he had good reason to be confident that Lawrence could field a league.
league. The parks and recreation department in Lee's Summit, Mo., has a league with 18 teams, and Topeka's Rice Community Center has three leagues.
Despite its blood sport reputation, dodgeball is relatively safe.
None of the interviewed leagues had any serious injuries during their games, and all except the Rice Community Center league use National Amateur Dodgeball Association approved balls.
None of the leagues allow head shots as well.
Modern dodgeball is less painful than it used to be thanks to softer balls.
The National Amateur Dodgeball Association guidelines specify that soft, rubber-coated foam balls measuring 8 inches should be used instead
of the playground balls commonly associated with the sport. But not everyone is happy with the new balls.
Many players remember their days in gym class playing dodgeball with stiff, heavy playground balls that could be thrown hard and stung the skin of slothful players.
Doug Thomson of the Blue Springs, Mo., Parks and Recreation Department said that some of the players in his league wanted to use the traditional rubber balls, and Laurent of Lawrence Parks and Recreation said players for the new league had also
But the new ball style hasn't deterred players from filling leagues, and the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department plans on having leagues for male, female and coed teams.
requested to use traditional balls.
Laurent said he was fairly confident that enough teams would sign up to form at least a men's league.
"It's not uncommon, especially in adult sports, for it to all come pouring in during the last week or two," Laurent said.

Electronic award letters on their way
The Office of Student Financial Aid will send out its award letters to students via e-mail.
Beginning this week, students won't have to wait by their mailboxes to receive their financial aid notification.
"Students can access the information from the comfort of their residence," said Stephanie Covington, associate director of financial aid.
Students will receive the e-mail notification later this month if their financial aid files are complete. The e-mail message will provide a link to the KU Enroll & Pay Web site to accept or decline their awards within 30 days.
Another benefit of the online access is that students could view their "to do" lists on Enroll & Pay, Covington said.
If students need to complete additional information to receive financial aid, they can view the status under their "to do" lists. Financial aid would also send out paper mail notification, she said.

Suspect charged in KU student's death
Ellmaker had been arrested before and was charged with carrying a concealed weapon in 2002, and a misdemeanor drug possession in 2004.
The youth suspect in the murder of a KU graduate student was charged last Monday as an adult in the juvenile division of Johnson County District Court, according to a Kansas City Star article.

Candidates Hack, Jim Carpenter, Tom Bracciano and Mike Amyx said they would consider such an amendment. David Schauner said he would not favor making this exception.

Schauner said he was concerned such an exception would change the aesthetic value of downtown. The ordinance just needs time to set in, he said.
"If it's not broke, don't fix it," Schauner said. "And it's not broken at this point."

"If a business has done everything to prevent people from smoking, they shouldn't be fined," said Amyx, a downtown barber.
Hack, an incumbent commissioner, said she was still concerned with the ban's effect on businesses.
"The ordinance is not without controversy," Hack said. "My concern is that it radically changed the way small businesses do business. I'm not pros smoking, but I want more of a compromise."
The commission should not make exceptions that would give new businesses an unfair advantage over established businesses, Carpenter said.
But some candidates warn that the commission must be wary of changing the ordinance too much.
"There is little room for exceptions," Carpenter said.
City commission elections will be held April 5.

Is the smoking ban effective?
Yes.
Would consider amending second-hand smoke as a health issue. It's bad for businesses when there is uneven enforcement throughout the state. If a smoking ban was enforced statewide, it would not hurt businesses so much. But the state has taxed smoking so heavily that it will be difficult for the state to implement smoking ban laws because of revenue costs.

No, not right now. Letting established businesses have outdoor seating should not have an adverse impact on the ordinance's purpose.
Approves of lighter requirements for established businesses to obtain a sidewalk dining license. Hack voted in mid-March for an exception to the ordinance, allowing Hallmark Cards, Inc. to have a ventilated employee break room for smoking. The exception passed 5-0. Is the smoking ban effective?
In favor of the city's smoking ban?
Yes.
It might cause more neighborhood house parties. This may be an area of future concern. Creating outdoor smoking patio venues is a bad idea. It will change the appearance of downtown drastically. Permitting bars that do not sell the required amount of food to move onto the sidewalk will create an unattractive, uninviting downtown.
Would consider amendments to the smoking ban? Commission needs to reconsider the penalty phase of the ordinance. He does not think that business owners should be fined if they follow the requirements to stop people from smoking in their business.
Other concerns about the smoking ban?
The ban has benefited employee health, but employee's financial health has been hurt in some places because of lost business.
The city needs to continue monitoring what downtown looks like if more businesses get sidewalk dining licenses.
Is the smoking ban effective?
Yes.
Other concerns about the smoking ban?
Supports the city commission looking at ways to help bars by making an exception to the requirements for a sidewalk dining license. But the commission must be careful not to allow businesses to obstruct the pathway of pedestrians. The commission needs to be careful when granting exceptions.

Join student group,learn something
So, I got active in the Japanese Student Association. Now that I've been to more meetings and become more involved, my shallow intentions that were once centered solely on Japan have gradually spread into deep understanding.
I recently committed myself to the ambitious goal of finding a way to work in Japan for the summer. Specific problems aside about how to get there and what I'll be doing, I knew that I need cultural experience, advice and encouragement.
All the members of JSA have been wonderful: open, welcoming, friendly and genuinely appreciative of my efforts. I first thought that this was primarily due to the politeness I find inherent in Japanese culture, but I have found deeper meaning the farther out I have swum in the global community.
I am now certain that a significant part of the organization's welcoming attitude comes from JSA's recognition that the group and each of its members are members, in turn, of the global community, at the University of Kansas and beyond.
JSA, as a group and through each of its members, is a strong proponent of diversity and crosscultural understanding. Take the president, for example. Three years ago, current JSA president Kengo Terada took office with the goal of increasing diversity in the organization, whose membership, overall, was small and unenthusiastic.
Kengo recognized that there was much to be gained by making an effort to reach out to the massive non-Japanese population at the University. In the effort to attract a larger membership, Kengo knew that he would be spreading the Japanese culture and promoting cross-cultural understanding at the same time. To add extra emphasis to this, the president of JSA joined the executive board of the International Student Association.
"I'd like to change the situation," he decided.
From then on, JSA has worked in tandem with ISA and the many other international student groups, such as the Asian-American Student Union, to help students from backgrounds that are worlds apart to come together to learn and grow by sharing the best that their cultures have to offer. In this way, ISA acts as the avenue through which the specific organizations, including JSA and AASU, share their region-specific focuses with the larger group. For example, Kengo uses his position on ISA's executive board to spread the word about Japanese cultural events, such as JSA's upcoming Japan Festival.
The more that I get involved in JSA, the more I get involved in the global community. The more that I consider the importance of the International Student Association at the University, the more I discover the importance of the international student association which exists, informally, worldwide.
The more that I meet people who are different, the more I understand that we all are, on some deep level, the same. The more I think about the shallowness of my original ambitions, the deeper I want to swim into the ocean of the global community.
As I have benefited from meeting with students from across the globe, I am sure that there are analogous benefits for anyone who has the opportunity to do the same.
As I have learned through my cross-cultural experiences, just as we can all benefit from sharing our unique qualities, we can all benefit from sharing what we find in common.
I would encourage anyone who has nothing more than a passing interest in some student organization, especially an international organization, to test the waters of the global community and see just how wide and deep the possibilities are.

Religion should not be sold.
Survey-takers were scattered around campus a few weeks ago, asking students if they had a minute to answer a few questions. The students who obliged may have been surprised to find out that they weren't taking a real survey at all, but that they were part of an advertising campaign.
The "survey" consisted of questions regarding religious beliefs and practices.
regarding religious beliefs and practices. The volunteers conducting the survey
The volunteers were dressed just like the students themselves, backpacks and all.
So it might have been a surprise that the first question asked was "How would you describe God? Good, evil, or a combination of both?" and that the response didn't really matter.
It seems like a fair question, but the way it was posed was anything but fair.
It was a loaded question whose only real purpose was to
They were placed strategically at seemingly every intersection between Anshutz Library and Robinson Gymnasium. Of course, students always had the option to refuse the survey altogether. But it shouldn't have to be that wav.
If groups wanted to make an impression on students, they would make more of an effort to actually show the benefits of what they're advertising.
Sinners, and anyone else on campus, might have something else to be afraid of, and it might be worse than hell. It's people who make others uncomfortable by badgering students with flyers, information and other requests. Such promoters should approach people in a more reasonable, less intrusive manner.
get a response that the surveyors could work with to push their own ideas. This was a dishonest means to an end, the end being an opportunity to pressure students into going to church.
People don't want to be bothered. Ask most students how they feel about walking across Wescoe Beach during Student Senate election season.
The endless barrage of flyers, buttons, and, "Are you going to vote?" is enough, to make one cross the street to avoid the circus. Unfortunately, the church group involved with the survey wasn't so easy to avoid.
This does not include covering University buildings with chalk.

using outliers that most students drop in the nearest receptacle, Student Senate groups should make themselves more visible on campus with services that students are likely to see.
From that sample, the customer is able to decide for themselves using an example of the service. It does not do the church any service to simply get in the way of a student and feed them propaganda.
People are more inclined to identify with a group if they can see the positive results of the group's actions.
When companies give out free samples at the grocery store, they are providing a service.
If they wanted to make a real difference and a real impact, they would take a step back and look at what they're doing. The best way to teach is to lead by example, not to deceive and overload and barrage with opinion.
Whether or not customers end up buying the product, at least they've seen what the company has to offer.

In an ideal society, judges are to be free of political will and/or influence. Traditionalists argue that elected officials, such as senators and representatives, should respond to the political will of society, endorsing and rejecting laws according to the attitude of the citizens of their respective region. However, judges should be free of this influence for an array of reasons.
Currently, the Senate must approve a judicial appointment with a majority vote, which equals 60 votes. With the proposed nuclear option, however, this is lowered to 51 percent, or 51 votes. Thus, the confirmation of judges could become subject to the tyranny of a slight political majority. Republican or Democratic, in the Senate.
With the so-called "nuclear option" being deliberated before Congress, the future of our country appears to lie within the hands of our elected officials. The nuclear option would lower the standards for the confirmation of federal judges, including Supreme Court Justices. This poses a threat not only to our immediate well-being as a whole, but also to the rule of law in the future of our country.
Judges are seen as the experts of the law who decide how the content of any given law may be interpreted. If judges were to be swayed by political influence, laws could become subordinate to the desires or whims of a political, economic, ethnic and/or religious majority. Let it be known I am not naively denying that this sort of political bias exists within our judicial system. However, I am arguing that lowering the standards of judicial nominations will surely augment this problem.
The president of the United States, with the approval of the Senate, appoints federal judges. Article III judges, which include the Supreme Court, the Federal Court of Appeals, district courts and the U.S. Court of International Trade, are the federal judges appointed by the President.
The clause that determines the nomination process of federal judges lies within the greatest social contract of all, the U.S. Constitution. Brilliantly recognizing its own imperfection, the Constitution contains amendments, which allow for the alteration and or addition of rights to this document, according to the changing political desires of the agents within the community.
Leave judge appointment unfettered
Yet unlawful modification of the document can lead to instability and the inability to recognize the rule of law.
In the beginning of "Meditation XVII," John Donne makes an eternal and altruistic statement regarding his ideas for the relations between human agents:
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clob be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind..."
Dismissing the threat of the nuclear option would be to disregard the equality of all individuals under the law. Individuals should concern themselves with the equality for all individuals under the law, including the rights and privileges any social contract grants these agents. It is important to remember that our system of law does not ensure substantive justice for all; rather, it does its best in preserving the equality of rights and privileges for each individual under the law. Yet ignoring the legal injustices surrounding any political environment would be turning a blind eye to the political death of an individual, as it were, within the aforesaid community.

one game. But Simien knows better than anyone: at Kansas, people don't take first-round losses well.
"It may," Simien said of the losses effect on his class's legacy. "Personally I still feel great about this group of guys ... this should by no means erase the things we have done in the past. But, for a lot of people it will be the main thing they remember."
In several years, when people talk about these four seniors, will they be remembered for their 110-28 overall record, their two Final Fours and one Elite Eight, or their loss to Bucknell in the first round of their final NCAA Tournament?
"We did everything we could when we stepped out on the court," Lee said. "Me, Wayne, and Keith and Aaron, we always wanted to win and we always played to win. One so loss messes that up ... I don't see why it should."
Self said he told the seniors the same thing after the game and again in their meetings last Monday.
Monday "I don't think you define careers or seasons based on one game even though it was a big game," Self said.
A week later the devastation still hasn't worn off. Self said it won't wear off until the tournament is over.
Taking a break
"Every time you watch someone else play you are thinking you wish that were you," Self said.
After all of the loose ends were tied up, the players had been talked to and he had replayed the game over and over again in his head, Self left for a break of his own. Last Wednesday he took his family on a short vacation.
"Nobody likes going through this," Self said. "No coach likes this, fans don't like it, families of coaches hurt. We all hurt, but we can learn from this."
"You've got to have a pretty tough hide about yourself. In coaching you understand that these things can happen, but you never think they will happen to you."
A season cut too short

Kansas, others lacked momentum
Coach Bill Self bites his lip in frustration at the end of the first round loss in Oklahoma City. The loss to a 14-seed, Bucknell, was the first in school history.

KANSAN SENIOR SWIPERWITHER
Cinderella put on her dancing shoes March 18 when No. 14 Bucknell knocked off No. 3 Kansas, and No. 13 Vermont defeated No. 4 Syracuse.
From there, top seeds were eliminated like Donald Trump's apprentices. Boston College, Connecticut and Wake Forest, like Kansas, all failed to move on past the first weekend.
All were defeated by teams that were hot. Momentum is the key to advancing in the NCAA Tournament. Teams have to be talented, but momentum pulls off upsets.
College basketball analysts everywhere are calling the 2005 NCAA Tournament one of the biggest Cinderella stories in recent history.
No. 10 seed North Carolina State
finished with a losing record in the Atlantic Coast Conference but knocked off Wake Forrest in the ACC Tournament to advance to the championship game. They defeated UConn in the second round in the NCAA Tournament.
West Virginia finished fifth in the Big East Conference, but defeated Boston College and Villanova in the Big East Tournament to advance to the tournament finals. West Virginia pounded Wake Forest and fell just seconds short of a trip to the Final Four.
In losing five out of their last eight games, the jayhawks didn't have that momentum. Kansas peaked at the wrong time this season.
When he looks back on it, Kansas coach Bill Self points to victories against Georgia Tech and at Kentucky as landmarks of the season. Both of those victories took place in the first 10 days of January. He reminds people that the Jayhawks did win the league — although they dropped four of their final six conference games to allow Oklahoma a share of the title.
"If you go 10-1 in the nonconference with Wayne out and you beat Georgia Tech and Kentucky and you win the league championship." Self paused. "I would say this was a really great season with a really, really bad ending."
The Bucknell game was close for all 40 minutes. Kansas trailed at half and turned the ball over 13 times.
The stinging 64-63 loss to Bucknell was one of the most embarrassing in school history. But the Jayhawks' play in that game was not inconsistent with the way they had performed in last few regular season games.
The kicker though: Kansas went scoreless in the final 8 minutes and 44

More than 1,000 fans and one big bunny were in attendance for the Big 12 Conference opener between Kansas (21-10) and No. 9 Nebraska (21-3) this Easter weekend at Hoglund Ballpark.
The series did not end as well as it began, with the Jayhawks winning the first game 7-6, before falling 9-3 and 9-4. This marked the first Big 12 Conference opening-game victory for coach Ritch Price since his arrival in 2003.
But the momentum could not hold for Kansas.
"I think that we showed that we are capable of playing with anyone in the country," Price said. "This was a great opportunity for us to win the first one on Friday and then have an opportunity to beat the No. 9 team in the country."
In game one, which was played as part of a Saturday doubleheader, sophomore right-hander Joba Chamberlain entered the contest with a 4-0 record and a .83 ERA for Nebraska. He left the game with a 1.72 ERA.
None of his statistics could get Chamberlain anything more than a no-decision against Kansas on Saturday. Although the right-hander held the Jayhawks hitless until the fifth inning, they grabbed four runs on only one hit.
KAI
Chamberlain, who entered the game with only one hit batter, hit four and walked four more.
Senior lefty Mike Zagurski (4-2) also recorded a no-decision. Although he tallied seven strikeouts, Zagurski surrendered five runs on six hits in his 6.1 inning appearance.

It's time to lay this Bucknell loss to rest.
Season not total failure
Yes it hurt. It was a bad loss, simple as that.
Self didn't want to lose that game — no coach would. He wanted to win just as much as the Jayhawk faithful did. He felt terrible that the four terrific seniors finished their collegiate careers in such an un-terrific way.
But some fans' comments after the game calling for Bill Self's head were ridiculous. Jayhawk fans need, to give him the opportunity to get players he recruited into his system, and then judge his accomplishments.
"Fans don't like losing to Bucknell in the first round. Players certainly hurt. Families, coaches and players, we all hurt." Self said at a press conference last week.
It's obvious that he feels bad for the entire team. He wanted to deliver everything that the fans wanted. While many fans still cringe at the thought of rewatching that season-ending loss. Self feels the same way.
"It won't wear off until the tournament is over. It hurts a lot. Every waking moment those are your thoughts," Self said."
North Carolina can run a team to death; Illinois has proven almost as capable of running as the Tar Heels. The Jayhawks were not this type of队, they played a simple half-court offense, and relied on getting the ball inside to Simien to be successful.
This year's team was supposed to win a national championship. There were some terrific basketball games. The victory on New Year's Day against Georgia Tech was stirring, followed by the thrilling take-down at Kentucky. Both games were played without senior forward Wayne Simien.
"They are three good players that have a chance to be good college players," Self said. "We think all three will have a big impact right off the bat. I hope they're not unrealistic. But I also hope the expectations should be that they are going to be good."
Self is the country's best recruiter. Look at the studs that are leading Illinois, all recruited by Self. Since Bruce Weber took over the coaching job at Illinois, the Illini have struggled on the recruiting trail. While the Jayhawk recruits are all McDonald's All Americans, none of the three Illini recruits are even ranked in the top 150 by Rivals.com.
But the future does not look bleak. Self will have one of the most talented teams in the Big 12 next season, despite the fact that the team will be run by mainly freshmen and sophomores. Just look at what Self is bringing in next season.
He has three McDonald's All-Americans. These are players who will make an immediate impact. While these players have the potential to be superstars in the coming years — or even as freshman — Self does not want the expectations to be too high.
This year's team consisted of players that were.not intended to be a part of Self's system. Before fans go out and start making crazy allegations against Self, he should be given enough time to establish himself. It will all work out in the end.

Kansas scores three victories against Western Illinois
The Jayhawks swept the Western Illinois Leathernecks at home in three games during the first weekend of spring break.
Freshman third baseman Erik Morrison hit the first two home runs of his collegiate career and knocked in seven RBI in the process. No Javahawk has scored that many runs this season.
dayhawk first baseman Jared Schweitzer added to the home run rally. Paired with Morrison, the duo homered with only one batter between them.
The Jayhawks picked up their second last-at bat victory of the season, 7-6.
Junior outfielder Gus Milner drove in junior shortstop Ritchie Price for the victory.
Milner went 3-4 with two RBI to lead the offensive effort for Kansas. Senior catcher Sean Richardson recorded his third home run of the season. Kansas baseball extended its winning streak to seven as it picked up the final game of the three game series against Western Illinois, 3-2.
Milner grabbed a small piece of history in the bottom of the second, stealing horns. The last time a Jayhawk stole home was when Ritchie Price did it on April 21, 2003.

TRACK AND FIELD
Outdoor track and field begins with solid start

The Kansas track and field team set the pace for the season at the Tulsa Duel meet on Saturday.
Twelve Jayhawks finished in first place, and three of them qualified for regional competition. Kansas opened up the outdoor season with competition against Missouri, Oklahoma State, Oral Roberts and Tulsa, the host.
The Jajawks thrived in the rough weather, with occasional wind chills of 30 degrees.
The team came off two weeks of rest since competing at the National Indoor Championships.
"Competitors find a way to compete and that is what we did today." coach Stanley Redwine said. "I thought it was awesome to do what we did in these conditions."
Fresh out of nationals, Brooklyn Hann and Sheldon Battle turned out a combined three first-place finishes. Hann, senior, won the 100-meter dash with a time of 13.65, quick enough to qualify for regionals.
Battle regionally qualified in the discus and the hammer throw. The junior finished first in the discus by throwing 183 feet. He threw 184 feet, 7 inches, in the hammer throw.
He recorded two second-place finishes, and won the men's shot put with a throw of 56 feet, 4.50 inches.
Sophomore Gavin Ball finished just behind Battle in both events.
"Our freshmen, and our newcomers as well,
really stepped up," Redwine said.
Outstanding freshman performances included Paul Hefferon's first place finish in the men's 3000-meter race. Hefferon, freshman, finished in 8:30.97.
"He did a great job," Redwine said. "From the word 'go,' he went out on a mission to do well."
Other freshmen made their debuts in stunning fashion. Freshman Julius Jiles regionally qualified in the 110-meter hurdles, with a time of 14.21.
Crystal Manning, freshman, qualified for regionals with a distance of 40 feet, 9 inches, in the triple jump.
"I just went out there to try my best, and I felt really comfortable out there," Manning said.
Denita Miller, junior, won the javelin with a throw of 151 feet.
"All I can say is that it's a starting point." Miller said. "I hope I can be one of those that step up this season."
After transferring from Tennessee, Miller said the inclement weather would not be an obstacle.
"It was windy and cold, but it didn't impair me a lot," she said. "It paired with the training I've been doing."
Kansas City, Mo., sophomore Janiece Gatson started off the outdoor season with a victory in the 400-meter run.
"It felt good for the first meet," said Gatson, who ran 1:03.26. "This season is going to be great. Hopefully with more competition it will make me better."

jayhawk swimmers compete at Indiana NCAA title meet
On March 17, swimmers Amy Gruber and Jenny Short traveled to West Lafayette, Ind., to compete in the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
On the first day of competition, Gruber competed in the 50-yard freestyle and finished 30th with a time of 23.06, and 18th in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 54.07. Coach Clark Campbell said that Gruber's finish was the best in her four appearances at the NCAA Championships. Short clocked in at 55.90 in the 100- yard backstroke, earning 36th place.
Short earned 45th place with 2.02.34 in the 200-yard backstroke and Gruber took 22nd in the 100-yard freestyle with 49.74.

Jayhawks improve strokes play season's best golf
The women's golf team finished ninth in a field of 15, with a score of 892, in Tucson, Ariz., at the seventh annual Mountain View Collegiate.
"I saw a lot of improvement in this tournament," coach Erin O'Neil said. "It was a good confidence booster for us and hopefully we can use this as a building block for the rest of the season."
Individually, freshman Annie Giangrosso finished tied for 15th after shooting a total score of 220. Sophomore Amanda Costner shot two strokes worse and finished tied for 23rd.
The Jayhawks have one tournament remaining before the Big 12 Championship in Austin, Texas. They next play in West Lafayette, Ind., at the Lady Boilermaker Invitational on April 9.

MEN'S GOLF
Team to travel west without Price
BY TIM HALL
thall@kansan.com
kansas SPORTWRITER
The Kansas men's golf team will begin play today at the 59th Western Intercollegiate at the Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif. The event is the oldest tournament west of the Mississippi River.
The jayhawks are one of only two teams playing in the event not from the west coast. UTEP is the only other school competing not from the west.
The difficult 18-team field includes some of college golf's best programs. UCLA, Stanford, California and Oregon will all be competing this week.
Coach Ross Randall's west
coast connections are one of the reasons that the Jayhawks are invited to play in the event every year. Randall played golf at San Jose State in the mid 1960s. Randall won the tournament as a freshman in 1964. To this day, Randall is the only freshman to ever win the Western Intercollegiate.
"This tournament is the grand daddy of western college golf tournaments," Randall said. "It's one of the best tournaments in college golf, and Pasatiempo is one of the greatest golf courses in the country."
Randall said that the Western is always one of the biggest tournaments of the season for his team.
The par 70 Pasatiempo Golf
Club is a short, tight golf course that measures 6,700 yards. The course is almost the exact opposite of what the Jayhawks saw last week at Stevenson, which is a long course with wide fairways.
The Pasatiempo Golf Club is consistently one of Golf Magazine's Top 25 courses in America.
Senior Kevin Ward will lead the Jayhawks into the event today, coming off of his best performance of the season last week. He finished first at Stevinson Ranch on March 22, firing a tournament total of eight under. Ward said that he is ready to build off of his performance last week.
"This is a fun golf course, and
Kansas will be without senior Andrew Price for the second straight week. Price has a partially torn ligament in his left hand, and will not be able to play for a minimum of four weeks. The Jayhawks are hopeful that Price will be ready to play in time for the Big 12 Conference Championship at the end of April. Junior Luke Trammell will be filling in for Price for the second straight week.
it's fun to play here every year," said Ward. "Even though this course doesn't really suit a lot of our games that well, I think it will be a good test. I feel like I can go out there and do pretty well this week."

victory. He held the Nebraska lineup scoreless in 1.2 innings of work in relief of junior righthander Kodiak Quick (7-2).
For the third time this season, the Jayhawks used a walk-off hit to seal a victory. For the second time, the hit came off the bat of junior outfielder Gus Milner.
Junior outfielder Matt Baty led off the bottom of the ninth with an infield single. Baty, who has moved to second base while
freshman starter Ryne Price has been sidelined with an ankle injury, scored the winning run after Milner drove a Jensen pitch to the right field wall.
But the Cornhuskers did not go quietly. Junior third baseman Alex Gordon hit two homers in two attempts. He collected three RBI in game one and was walked five times in the series.
Nebraska was able to record a 9-3 victory.
Gordon hit his second home run of the day in the nightcap.
Sophomore left-hander Sean Land (2-2) to take the loss after lasting only 2.2 innings and allowing four runs on five hits.
Junior pitcher Zach Kroenke (3-0) sealed the deal for the Huskers. In six innings Kroenke allowed three runs on three hits.
"I really thought we had some great momentum going into the second and third." Czyz said. "We played well, they just played a little bit better."
Junior left-hander Brian Duensing held the Jayhawks scoreless until the eighth inning in the Easter Sunday 9-4 loss. Down 7-0 entering the eighth, Kansas batters found a way to avoid the shutout.
Erik Morrison, freshman third baseman, hit the first home run for the Jayhawks in the series (3).
Milner also added a home run in the bottom of the ninth.
"It's hard when everyone's playing well," Morrison said. "We're starting to play well as a team, and we're still getting beat."
Quick had a solid outing for Kansas, but Price said he felt as if the starter may have been left in a little too long. Directly after a two-inning appearance on Saturday, Quick gave up five runs on five hits, taking the loss.
The Jayhawks finished the weekend at 1-2 in the Big 12.
Kansas continues play next weekend against Texas A&M.

You know her as the lady whose novel fueled our nation's war. But she became a successful grower—whose orders were coveted even more! She and her sister, Catherine sought "Water-as-Cure" for pain.
This hydropathy probably helped, when brotherly scandal caused them shame.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Texas Tech game sent Kansas swirling
BY KELLIE ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
When Texas Tech sophomore forward Darryl Dora hit a fade away three-pointer to defeat Kansas 80-79, on Feb. 14. 14 realized the Jayhawks' season was about to spiral out of control.
After all, Kansas was 20-1
going into that game. The team
was ranked No. 2 in national
polls, and sole possession of
the Big 12 Conference regular
season title seemed to be a
lock.
Kansas played well at Texas Tech and Dora's game winner came only after senior guard Aaron Miles was questionably called for traveling, while Texas Tech players frantically tried to foul him.
Kansas coach Bill Self said the game ended in the worst way possible. Because the Jayhawks played well enough to win, none of the players put stock in the loss and instead chose to blame the loss on officials.
If the officials had called a foul on the Red Raiders, or if Dora had missed his shot from the top of the key, the season could have ended differently. But as Self said, that was the difference between winning and losing.
The setback in Lubbock.
Texas, was followed by a home loss to Iowa State, which Self later said his team had not come fired up for. The losing streak hit three games when the team traveled to Oklahoma. Kansas rebounded with a win against Oklahoma State, but finished the year losing six of nine.
After Kansas fell to Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Self said he had tried his best to glue things together down the stretch, but everything seemed to change after losing to Texas Tech.
"I thought it fit together pretty well until we had the three-game losing streak in February." Self said. "We were 20-1, I didn't think it didn't fit, but we didn't finish the season on a note that we were capable of finishing the season on."
Before that game, the Jayhawks battled past injuries and adversity. They found a way to win every close game, and even when senior forward Wayne Simien missed action, the team defeated Georgia Tech and Kentucky.
After the Texas Tech game, things changed. Kansas sustained new injuries, and failed to respond in the same way it did earlier in the year.
"We had our frustrating moments," senior guard Mike Lee said. "We lost some games
down the stretch, and even when we were winning we weren't playing well."
Junior forward Christian Moody missed a few games after he suffered a floor burn at Lubbock, which turned into a staph infection.
Senior guard Keith Langford sat out two games after he severely sprained his ankle, and then came down with the stomach flu. He played against Bucknell, but Self said he was nowhere near full strength.
Self refused to use those injuries as excuses, but did call them bad luck.
"We've dealt with a lot of crap," he said. "We've dealt with some injuries and stuff that a lot of other teams didn't have to deal with. Late in the season it was seriously spliced together."
Hard to imagine that a team's fortunes could change so drastically on a single play, but if you ask any' of the players they'll tell you that's what happened.
Langford was asked why Kansas fell apart after losing to Texas Tech and all he could do was shake his head and shrug.
"You can go back and make up a lot of things, but nobody really knows," Langford said. "There's just no explanation for why teams lose."
Edited by Lori Bettes
seconds of the game
Heartbreak
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Sound familiar?
In Kansas' final four regular season losses, the Jayhawks fell by a combined 15 points. In three of those games, the Jayhawks trailed at halftime. They turned the ball over at least 12 times in each of those games, which led to lengthy scoring droughts.
On paper, this Kansas team had all of the ingredients of a capable tournament team: the All-American candidate that was good for a double-double each game, the leadership, the experience, the depth. Momentum and energy don't show up on paper though.
Finishing the season 2-4 and losing senior guard Keith Langford, the team's second leading scorer, hurt the jayhawks' momentum.
Self was asked if he thought the lavhawk suffered from fatigue.
"I don't buy that," Self said. "But I think we played like that, and I think injuries make you look tired."
The Jayhawks finished the season 23-7, won the Big 12 title and earned a No. 3 seed in the Syracuse region.
NC State finished 7-9 in the ACC and were a No.10 seed in Syracuse. But when the Wolfpack look back on the 2004-05 season, they will consider it a success. They reached the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 1989.
Self said he was proud of the Jayhawks' season. But he knows why this year will not be ranked
"I don't think you can have a great year unless you play well in March," Self said.
among Kansas' best.
"Sorry coach Flannery"
Some of the Kansas players were so stunned after their firstround loss to Bucknell, they forgot to shake the hands of the Bucknell players.
Self was unaware of the slight until after the game, addressed the team and placed a personal phone call to Bucknell coach Pat Flannery.
"I called Pat Flannery and said 'I haven't even talked to players about this.' I don't know exactly how it played out," Self said. "Pat told me 'don't sweat this because our players were on the court celebrating like they won a championship, so don't worry about waiting for us to stop running around."
What did he say?
In the locker room after the Jayhawks' loss to Bucknell, Langford said something that raised a few eyebrows. Granted, the senior guard has said many of those things in his career, but this comment's timing earned some extra attention: "Now I can sit down and express myself and say what I really want to, let people know how I really feel, get a lot of things off my chest." Langford said.
Self said he didn't find out about the comment until a couple of days after the game. When he heard it, he wanted to know what Langford meant by the comment.
"I called him and I called his mother, because I was unable to run him down, and asked him
to clue me in on what this meant," Self said. "It would lead me to believe he was going to say something about his unhappiness the last couple of years.
"He told me, and he was emphatic about this, he said, 'No, that's not what I meant at all. I don't have any problems with anything with the basketball program. There are some things I wish people knew."
Self said Langford could have been talking about a number of issues, but he suspected it was health problems, which have plagued Langford during the last two NCAA Tournaments.
Time to beef up
Add this year's recruiting class
Add this year's recruiting class -- Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright and Micah Downs — to the Jayhawks' five freshmen this season and the Jayhawks will have eight young players next season.
Self said the team will begin working out immediately after spring break to add some mass to those young bodies. Somebody is going to have to fill in for senior forward Wayne Simien's 20 points and 10 rebounds.
"We need to get in the weight room and get bigger and stronger." Self said.
Self said the current freshmen along with the incoming freshmen are going to have to work hard to develop into replacements for the graduating seniors.
"We have to have one or two develop into all-league type performers," Self said. "If you do that, all of the sudden, you have yourself quite a team."

STUDENT SENATE ELECTIONS
Issue in the works
Coalitions disagree about who deserves credit for online tickets
By ROSS FITCH
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR STA WRITER
KUnited has promised to work with the Athletics Department to deliver an online ticket redemption system for men's basketball. But department officials say the ticket system will be put in place regardless of who is elected.
KUnited representatives have met with Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external affairs, three times during the past three months to discuss the system, said Nick Sterner, Shawnee junior and KUnited presidential candidate. Representatives from the other
coalitions, Delta Force and Student Voice, have not discussed the issue.
"This isn't something that we're just trying to take credit for," Sterner said. "This is something that we've already taken progressive steps to make sure it happens."
Marchiony said he had talked with KUnited about the issue, but the decision to implement the new system was not based on one coalition's involvement
"We're not doing this because any particular group has asked us to do it," he said. "We are doing this based on our desire to improve the system and have the best possible system for students."
The department's desire for a new system was not based on receiving an excessive number of complaints. The department didn't receive any more complaints after the season's first pickup period last October, he said.
Dennis Chanay, Paola freshman and Student Voice presidential candidate, said a new system was a good idea, but Student Voice focused on other issues. Chanay said it should not have been on KUUnited's platform if it was going to happen anyway, Chanay said.
Elaine Jardon, Overland Park sophomore and Delta Force presidential candidate, said she thought KUnited often promised to deliver services that were already in the works, such as wireless Internet in the Kansas Union.
Jardon said Delta Force did not talk with the department about an online ticket system because it tended to focus on more activist issues, such as sexual health care. Because the system would likely be implemented anyway, Jardon said Delta Force didn't need to make it an issue.

The price at the pump does not seem to be dropping any time soon. Gas prices have raised to as high as $2.13 average for the state, according to kansasgasprices.com.
Higher costs not only hit the pocketbook of patrons. They also affect the policies and sales of the businesses around Lawrence.
"We've had to get a little more creative in our give-aways," said Brian Long, general manager of Zarco 66 No. 3, 900 Iowa St. "We needed to find other ways to help our customers."
To combat the higher gas prices, Zarco and other businesses have created new incentives for choosing their stores.
Customers who buy a car wash can save up to $2.50 off the total price of gas, Long said.
"We wanted to offer more savings to our customers." Long said. "This can help offset the cost of gas."
Patrons who have Dillons cards can get discounts off one gallon of gas at the Dillons Gas station, 3000 W. Sixth St., and Kwik Shops throughout the city. The Hy-Vee Gas station, 4000 W. Sixth St., also offers cash back with a receipt of purchase from the Hy-Vee grocery store. Each store varies on savings.

Rising pump costs increase gas thefts
Lawrence gas stations are watching out for an increase in gas thefts stemming from higher prices.
Kelly Williams, manager at Zarco 66 No.4,1500 E.23rd St., said that her store saw an increase in gas thefts when the gas prices got high.
"It's happened as often as twoday," Williams said. "We can go for months without having one and then, all of a sudden, have a burst of them."
Since Jan. 30, a total of 27 gas thefts around the city have been reported to Lawrence police. According to police reports, the peak of seven thefts occurred during the week of March 6.
The average gas price in Kansas during that week was $1.97.
Employees at gas stations are trained to be more aware of the potential for an increase in gas thefts, said Brian Long, manager at Zarco 66 No.3, 900 Iowa Street.
Long said the employee on duty was able to identify which customer stole the gas nine out of 10 times.
"We catch most of them," Long said. "The education process for employees goes a long way."
Williams said her store used video cameras and binoculars
to catch the license plates of thieves.
"We chase them if we have to," she said.

The IFC judicial board expelled Phil Kappa Theta, 1111 W.11th St., on March 7 for having an unregistered party at its house. The chapter faced 24 charges for recruitment and alcohol policy violations.
Police confiscated 16 kegs of beer, $517 in cash and signs that advertised the party during the weekend of Feb. 19.
The executive board has five school days to make a decision after the appeal.
If the executive board decides that Phi Kappa Theta's expulsion is the proper punishment, the fraternity could appeal for a second and final time. The IFC's general assembly, which contains the president of each chapter fraternity and a representative, would conduct the hearing.
"We would probably appeal for a second time if it came to that," Moreno said. "Right now, we're focused on this appeal."

The Jayhawks were certainly a talented team with one of the best senior classes in KU history.

The Student Voice coalition filed an appeal yesterday with the University Governance after the election violations hearing on March 17.
Dennis Chanay, Student Voice presidential candidate, said the Elections Commission did not hold the hearing correctly.
sites maintained by Student Voice contained libelous statements about the KUnited coalition.
Chanay, Paola freshman, had issues with the election commission chairman Luke Thompson.
"We didn't feel the hearing was run correctly," Chanay said. "We are going to fight for this because we think they are wrong."
Thompson, Lawrence sophomore, filed two complaints that Web
Thompson said the Elections Commission would comment on the coalition's appeal.
Chanay said Thompson broke numerous procedures during the hearing. He said Thompson would not allow Student Voice to ask him questions about the complaints. Chanay also said it was a violation that Thompson did not have records of the complaints, which were supposed to be open to the public.
During the hearing, the commission asked Chanay and other coalition members to leave during the deliberations. Thompson, the plaintiff, did not leave the room and deliberated with the rest of the commission.
"Luke basically just served as a judge," Chanay said. "He is just saying what is libel and what's not. There was no consulting with other members to clarify what is libel and what isn't."
Chanay said Student Voice would not change the way it was campaigning because it didn't feel like it had done anything wrong.

Space station drifts away, rolls
BY MARCIA DUNN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
220-mile high maintenance work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The two space station astronauts installed antennas and released a baby Sputnik during a spacewalk yesterday, completing the work just before the orbiting outpost drifted and rolled slightly because of overloaded gyroscopes.
Space station crew members = installed antennas on the Zvezda Module for a cargo carrier scheduled to visit the space station next year.
Photovoltaic arrays Zvezda Module Spacewalk site
The astronauts were in no danger, and the slow roll — which lasted just 17 minutes — was not unexpected. NASA said the space station held steady longer than anticipated.
SOURCE EI NASA
For reasons that are not entirely clear to NASA, the space station has tended to drift during spacewalks over the past year or so. The space agency thought the problem might be even worse this time because one of the gyroscopes that keep the orbiting outpost stable and pointed in the right direction stopped working two weeks ago.
But the space station held steady until the very end of the 4 1/4-hour spacewalk, when it went into a partial, slow-motion cartwheel. The drift lasted far less than the three hours expected.
Right after the spacewalk, one of the two good gyroscopes exhibited a brief but unusually strong vibration. Engineers were keeping close watch over the big spinning wheel, which appeared to be working fine later in the day. Besides the gyroscope that shut down two weeks ago, another broke three years ago.
Flight controllers could have prevented this so-called free drift by immediately firing the station's thrusters but waited to do so until the spacewalkers were out of the way, rather than risk contaminating their spacesuits with toxic rocket fuel.

During the spacewalk, they left the space station empty. With the shuttle fleet grounded since the 2003 Columbia catastrophe, the space station has been home to only two astronauts at a time, instead of the usual three.

plugged in four antennas for a new type of cargo carrier due to fly next year. They also released a 1-foot-long, 11-pound satellite called Nanosputnik, designed for experimental maneuvering by ground controllers.
NASA and the Russian Space Agency instituted the extra measures to avoid a repeat of the problem that happened during the men's spacewalk in January. Because of a miscommunication during that outing, Chiao got too close to the firing thrusters. This time, the thrusters, which fire automatically when the space station tips out of balance, were disabled for the astronauts' safety.
Engineers have yet to identify the
The spacewalkers ignored the recent problem that knocked out the gyroscope; visiting shuttle astronauts will tackle that repair job in two months.
The two station residents have spent the past several weeks dealing with an assortment of breakdowns, including an oxygen generator that still is not working. Over the weekend, they replaced a pump panel that is part of a critical cooling system.
mysterious force that causes the space station to tilt during spacewalks. The space station needs to point in the right direction so that its solar panels continue generating electricity and certain components do not become overheated from exposure to the sun.
NASA hopes to launch Discovery to the space station in mid-May. Technicians had trouble aligning the shuttle and its transporter yesterday for the big move from the hangar to the Vehicle Assembly Building, where the booster rockets and redesigned fuel tank are attached. The move was rescheduled for today.

While Student Senate candidates all over campus will campaigning, two student leaders will be preparing to leave office.
With two weeks left until elections, Steve Munch, student body president, and Jeff Dunlap, vice president, reflected on their year in office. They said they accomplished most of what they set to do but still would have a lot to hand over to the next president and vice-president.

"Last spring was one of the best times of my life," Munch said. "Now, I can sit back and focus on what we have to do to finish strong, instead of getting involved."
Munch and Dunlap will spend their last month in office trying to finish projects that have already been started.
Dunlap will spend much of his time lobbying for Student Union Activities. During the Senate elections, there will also be a referendum proposing a $5 student fee for SUA. Dunlap wrote the original bill and said that would occupy a lot of his time.
Duntlap will also work with Munch to provide the new student body president and vice president with a detailed end of the year report.
— something Dunlap said hasn't been always been done well in the past.
Munch will continue to meet with administrators and discuss the guaranteed tuition plan. Under guaranteed tuition, students would pay the same rate per credit hour all years they are in college.
Munch will also continue to make trips to the state capitol in Topeka to meet with legislators and the Board of Regents.
Munch said trying to cram so much into their last month was one of the difficulties of Student Senate.
"Turnover is a major disadvantage of student government," Munch said. "A lot of times, one year is not enough to get what you want completely finished."

Steve Munch
Student body president
Some of the projects that Munch and Dunlap will turn over to the new president are trying to build an information shack in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall to replace the existing bus stop and continuing discussion on both alcohol sales at the Union and guaranteed tuition.
Munch and Dunlap received praise from two of the candidates running for office this year. Both Elaine Jardon, Delta Force presidential candidate and Overland Park sophomore, and Nick Sterner, KUnited presidential candidate, said Munch and Dunlap did a good job while in office.
Sterner, Shawnee junior, said he admired both Munch and Dunlap and the work they had done this year.
"Their platform last year was amazing, and it got accomplished," Sterner said. "They are two people that genuinely care about the student body, and that is how Senate should be."
Sterner said he would not hesitate to ask Munch and Dunlap questions throughout the election process and seek advice.
Jardon said she was very pleased with Munch on a specific piece of legislation that he wrote about a student leadership conference, something that Delta Force had on its platform last year.
"Steve has worked very hard to try and get a student leadership conference to come to KU," Jardon said.
A review of KUnited's platform from last year under Steve Munch and Jeff Dunlap, "Pass," "Fail" and "In progress" are based on responses given by Steve Munch, student body president, and Jeff Dunlap, student body vice-president.

Legislator alleges conflicts of interest
DENVER — At least three University of Colorado professors charged with reviewing whether professor Ward Churchill plagiarized or committed academic dishonesty have either signed petitions or made public statements questioning the case against him.
Joseph Rosse, director of the office of research integrity and one of 12 members of CU's Standing Committee on Research Misconduct that will consider the Churchill case, said he did not think his colleagues had any conflicts of interest.
State Rep. Ted Harvey, R Highlands Ranch, disagreed.
"The patients are in charge of the asylum," said Harvey, a critic of how CU has handled the Churchill case.
On Thursday, university administrators released a report saying allegations that Churchill plagiarized others' work, misrepresented others' work to bolster his own ideas, or misrepresented his American Indian heritage merit ed investigation.
The standing committee will review the claims and determine whether Churchill should be disciplined or fired.
Churchill, a tenured ethnic studies professor, denies the allegations.
Churchill has been scrutinized since a public outcry over one of his essays that included statements comparing some Sept. 11, 2001, victims to a top Nazi. University administrators determined the comments were protected by free speech.

Students must have vaccinations
BY TY BEAVER
tbeaver@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
VACCINES AND WHAT THEY PREVENT
Vaccine Disease(s) prevented Schedule for updating Required by KU?
MMR measles, mumps, rubella Two shots provide life-long protection Yes
Meningococcal bacterial meningitis Every 10 years Yes, beginning Fall 2005
TD tetanus, diphtheria After first three injections, every 10 years No
HBV Hepatitis B Series of three injections No
Varicella chicken pox Two injections after age 13, lasts for lifetime No
Good grades and ACT scores aren't the only requirements students must meet to be accepted to the University of Kansas.
"When you have people coughing and sneezing all over a lecture hall, it's easy for things to get passed on," she said.
The diseases covered by the MMR vaccination are easily passed from person to person, which is why the University requires students to be up to date with it, Denning said.
Along with academic requirements, potential students must have a current immunization record that includes the MMR vaccination for measles, mumps and rubella.
A series of two vaccinations
College students spend much of their time in high population areas, such as residence halls and large lecture halls, said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
provides life-long immunity to the three diseases, Denning said. People usually receive the MMR vaccine as a child, and it is a requirement for enrollment at public schools.
After living in McCollum Hall last semester, Claire Wyatt, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said she was glad that vaccinations were required for students at the University.
"With how much my friends and I passed colds between us, it's good that they make us prevent the nastier illnesses," she said.
It isn't uncommon for students to not be vaccinated, or not have record of it, Denning said. Students who think they may have been vaccinated but have no record of it can be tested and vaccinated if needed, she said.
But some students have legitimate reasons for not being vaccinated.
Medical reasons such as immune response problems and other medical conditions can prevent someone from receiving a vaccination, Denning said. There are also those who refuse vaccination for religious and

personal reasons, she said.
The easily-transmitted meningococcal bacteria has also prompted the University to write a new policy for meningitis vaccinations.
Students were encouraged to receive the vaccination before, but all students living in University housing will be required to have the vaccination in Fall 2005.
The diagnosis of several students around the state, prompted the new policy. The state Legislature has also proposed a bill for a similar policy
for all Board of Regents schools for Fall 2006.
"The University is kind of leading the way in this area," Denning said.
There are many other vaccinations available that aren't required for students but are still encouraged. Watkins offers vaccinations for diphtheria-tetanus, hepatitis B, and chickenpox.
Vaccinations required to study abroad are also offered and include yellow fever and typhoid.

Earthquake hits Indonesia, kills nearly 300
BY MICHAEL CASEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — A powerful earthquake struck late yesterday off Indonesia's west coast, killing nearly 300 people whose homes collapsed on them and spreading panic across the Indian Ocean that
another killer tsunami was on the way.
But fears of a second tsunami catastrophe in just more than three months eased within hours, as officials in countries at risk reported their coasts clear of the type of quake-spawned waves that ravaged a dozen countries in Asia and Africa on Dec. 26.
All of the deaths reported in the hours immediately after yesterday's quake were on Indonesia's Nias island, off Sumatra's west coast, which was close to the epicenter.
In one town, Gunungsitoli, about 70 percent of buildings had collapsed in the market district, officials said.
"Hundreds of buildings have been damaged or have collapsed," said Agus Mendrofa, the island's deputy district head. He told el-Shinta radio station that at least 296 people had died in Gunungsitoli.
Nias, a renowned surfing spot, was badly hit on Dec. 26.
when at least 340 residents were killed and 10,000 were left homeless.
The U.S. Geological Survey measured yesterday's quake at magnitude 8.7 and said its epicenter was 155 miles south-southeast of Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province on Sumatra island.

Schiavo's cruel death meant to assuage selfish husband
Without a miracle, Terri Schiavo will be dead or very nearly dead by the time this column is printed, starved by her husband and the courts of the state of Florida against the wishes of her parents.
VINCE MYERS
vmyers@kansan.com
Contrary to what some have reported to the media, Terri Sehiavo was not terminally ill prior to being starved and has never been on life support.
Her lungs, kidneys, and l fine. But, because of a malnutrition-induced collapse in 1990, she was severely brain-damaged.
She requires a feeding tube for nourishment, and when her "husband," Michael Schiavo, ordered that her feeding tube be removed the third time it has been removed per his request since 1998 she began the long process of starving to death.
Though Michael Schiavo is legally Terri's husband, it's been years since he's convincingly filled that role. Michael lives with and is engaged to
another woman, and he has two children by her. For all intents and purposes, Michael has moved on. Yet Michael has remained married to Terri, seemingly only for the purpose of ending her life.
This decision seems so easy to me; if an error is to be made, let her live too long rather than cut her life too short. Why kill a woman who has an ounce of hope and willing caretakers?
Meanwhile, Terri's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, along with Terri's siblings and friends, have fought desperately to save her. In 1993, the Schindlers lost faith in Michael's care and attempted, unsuccessfully, to usurp guardian authority from him.
The Associated Press reported that in 2002, six doctors examined Terri and tried to determine whether or not she could recover from her supposedly vegetative state.
They have always maintained that they would gladly take guardianship from Michael, let him enjoy his new life and provide quality care and rehabilitation for Terri. Michael has consistently refused.
Four doctors said that she could not, while two doctors said that she could.
Despite the hope, Michael refused to rehabili tate her and continued to push for her death.
davit that she cared for her between 1995 and 1996. Iyer also explained that Michael was adamant that Terri not be treated or rehabilitated
Even more disturbing was the affidavit and interviews given by Carla Sauer Iyer, a registered nurse, who has claimed that Terri was able to communicate verbally and through body language with the staff at Palm Garden of Largo Convalescent Center.
Iyer explained in her affi-
and often asked Iyer and other nurses questions like "When is she going to die?", "Has she died yet?" and "When is that bitch gonna die?" according to her affidavit.
Michael and two of his relatives claim that Terri told them before her illness that she would not want to live in such a state. The Schindlers say that Terri would never have made such a claim.
Of course, Michael never mentioned such a statement during his malpractice lawsuit when he promised to care for her and rehabilitate her.
But to make this case a "right-to-die" case, Michael has given the claim as the key reason as to why Terri should be starved.
The courts put Terri's life in the hands of an unfaithful husband with a monetary incentive to kill her, and he convinced the court to help him by using a selective memory that is nothing more than thaarsay.
Their alternative is to award guardianship to a family that loves her, that is more than willing to care for her and that is convinced that they can rehabilitate her.
This decision seems so easy to me; if an error is to be made, let her live too long rather than cut her life too short. Why kill a woman who has an ounce of hope and willing caretakers?
I didn't think such an inhumane thing could happen in America to one person and to one family. Maybe we aren't as decent as I had thought.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Black community sets difficult barrier to overcome with its own oppression
I read Tierra Scott's column on March 16, as I like to read and hear the opinions of today's youth.
I will agree with her that whites will not begin to understand what the black race has suffered.
But I wish to comment on the culture of hip hop that she often refers to in her column.
I don't understand a culture and race that defies drug dealers and gangsters. I also don't understand why it's hip to degrade women by calling them "bitches and hoes," to use them and throw them to the side when the men are done with them.
I also don't understand why the culture the killing of its young men.
I mean, just take a look at 50 Cent, because he was shot numerous times and survived he is a hero.
Nevermind that he is a ganster and because he can rap he is a star. Ms. Scott talks about how hip-hop can be a messenger to the world.
Is this the kind of message that the Black
I also don't understand when prominent black members of the community speak out about the tragedy happening to their youth — like Bill Cogby — and they are told to be quiet.
and hip-hop community want to send to the world?
I hear all the time how he is put down for speaking out about what's happening.
When I hear young black men throwing around the "N" word it saddens me. They don't see that by using that word other people can still see them in that same light.
I always hear how the black community has suffered under the whites and I don't dispute that it's a fact.
But the worst oppression that the community has suffered under right now is its own.
It's hard to lift yourself above one's own oppression, but until then you can't lift yourself above others oppression.
But this is just one white man's opinion looking from the outside in.

▼ GUEST COMMENTARY
U.S. sets dangerous precedent with withdrawl from Kyoto
The Kyoto Protocol represents an international response to scientific evidence that rising emission rates of greenhouse gases are linked to global warming, which may have catastrophic consequences for life on Earth. In 1997, developed countries that signed the
JUAN M. GUAYASAMIN opinion@kansan.com
treaty agreed to cut their collective greenhouse gas emissions to 5.2 percent below 1990 levels or face stiff penalties.
Reductions would be achieved by the implementation of control technology in industries and vehicles; this means that developed signing countries will have to make a continuous investment to reduce gas emissions and to keep them low.
Developing countries, which usually have profound poverty and limited resources, are not yet required to cut their emissions because of the negative impact on their economy.
For the Protocol to take effect, it had to be ratified by the necessary 55 countries that accounted for at least 55 percent of global emissions in 1990.
In 1998, the Clinton administration signed and therefore committed the United States to the Kyoto Protocol.
But the Bush administration withdrew the United States' signature in 2001, claiming it had a high cost to the U.S. economy and that developing countries needed to share in reduction of emissions.
The United States is the only country to have signed the protocol and then to have repudiated it.
Also, the U.S. pollutes more, absolutely and per head, than any other country in the world.
The U.S. population makes up 4.6 percent of the global population, but U.S. pollution makes up 21 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions.
— had not ratified the Protocol it remained without any effect on the signing countries.
Russia finally ratified the Protocol on Nov. 18; this addition means that signing
countries of the Protocol now account for 61 percent of the global emission of greenhouse gases and that the Protocol is now binding in international law.
At present, the Protocol has been signed by 141 countries — including 30 industrialized countries
—and took effect Feb. 16, thanks to the Russian ratification.
Some can argue that the economic cost of ratifying the Kyoto Protocol justifies Bush's decision; however, the U.S. position eludes the responsibility that the richest, most powerful and biggest polluter of the world should have.
Also, it exacerbates the idea that the U.S. government does not care about worldwide initiatives like the Kyoto Protocol.
This also applies to other international legislation, like when the U.S. government tried to obtain immunity from the new International Criminal Court for American soldiers.
The implementation of the Kyoto Protocol has to be seen as important, but still preliminary, step to avoid worst consequences of global warming.
The next obvious step is to demand the participation of the United States in this Protocol. It is common sense that if you make a mess, you have to clean the mess.
It doesn't matter if it is going to cost you time and money.

U. S. SUPREME COURT
Court considers law hierarchy
BY HOPE YEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court, confronting a case that tests the effect of international law in domestic death penalty cases, showed little interest yesterday in deciding whether the U.S. government could deny foreign suspects access to legal help from their consulates.
The court heard arguments in the case of Jose Medellin, who is challenging his 1994 conviction and death sentence from a Texas court, citing a violation of a U.S. treaty that requires consular access for Americans detained abroad and foreigners arrested in the United States.
Medellin says he is entitled to a federal court hearing based on
Several justices seemed wary of deciding who has final say on interpretation of that treaty state or federal courts, the U.S. president or an international tribunal after President Bush last month ordered new state court hearings for Medellin and 50 other Mexicans on death row.
“Isn't it true that the Texas proceeding could make this moot?” asked Justice John Paul Stevens. “We may be engaged in a lot of useless actions.”

But Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist wondered whether delaying the case after Bush's unexpected move would send the wrong message that justices endorsed his actions.

Wichita burdened with storm debris
WICHITA — Nearly three months after an ice storm left thousands of trees in Sedgwick County mangled and broken, officials are warning that downed limbs could endanger bridges and cause more flooding problems this year than normal.
David Spears, the county's public works director, said the situation was the worst he had seen in more than 20 years.

Government urges whole-grain foods
Spears said the limbs already had started to clog streams, and with a stream, creek or river flowing through every square mile of Sedgwick County, there weren't enough workers to make much more than a dent in the problem.
WASHINGTON — Go ahead, have a piece of bread. Have three. Make it whole-grain, and you'll be following government advice for eating right.
On top of that, much of the cleanup that needs to be done is on private property, where public workers cannot go.
Three servings of whole grains each day will reduce your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Of all the new advice in the government's new dietary guidelines, eating enough whole grains may prove the easiest.

Whole grains are the entire seeds or kernels — from grains like wheat, oats, corn or rye. They are packed with fiber, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and besides helping guard against heart disease and diabetes, they also contain cancer-fighting antioxidants and other nutrients.

Brazilian coffees Robusto coffees
Coffee drinkers might experience something that cigarette smokers are already used to: higher prices.
According to the International Coffee Association, prices for Brazilian coffees — mostly used for specialty coffees — increased about 39 percent and robusto coffees — mostly used for instant coffees — have increased about 16 percent from last February.
Eventually coffee drinkers will start paying more for their cups, said Joe Farthing, owner of J&S Coffee, a coffee shop and bean roasterie at 4821 W. Sixth St.
The coffee industry is reacting to increased prices for two beans. Prices for Brazilian coffee beans, which are used in most specialty coffees, have increased 39 percent from February 2004 to February 2005. Prices for robusto beans, used in many instant and canned coffees, increased 16 percent over the same period.
A roasterie takes green coffee beans and turns them into their useful brown form.
Average coffee bean prices
For example, the price for Brazil Yellow Pourbon beans increased 16 percent on March 16. Farthing said.
Farthing wouldn't give the exact price numbers. He said it would be misleading because coffee brokers gave different deals to different roasters.
"People assume a lot of things and then freak out," he
Despite higher prices from distributors, McClain hasn't raised his prices.
J&S increased prices for all of its coffee drinks up to 10 cents last week. But, J&S hasn't increased prices yet for its bulk coffees, which it distributes to hundreds of customers nationwide.
Higher gas prices made coffee more expensive, said John McClain, manager of Signs Of Life. 722 Massachusetts St.
The reason for the spike in prices: a drought in Brazil has led to a smaller than usual crop this year and tsunamis have increased shipping costs from Southeast Asia, according to coffeecrew.com, a Web site dedicated to coffee education.
said.
Increasing coffee prices is certainly possible, said Andy Hom, co-manager of La Prima Tazza, 638 Massachusetts St.
"We haven't received any warning from our distributors," Hom said. "We could probably raise our prices 40 percent and still be competitive."
Two dollars a cup for black coffee is the limit, said Risa Petty, 2001 graduate and Lawrence resident, said.
"I hope it doesn't screw up
any of the coffee shops around town," Petty said. "I don't know if it's the ambiance or the coffee that attracts people."
Filip Smolik, Prague, Czech Republic, graduate student, drinks about a liter of coffee a day and isn't worried about increasing prices.

Minister: Secure Iraq nearing
MIDDLE EAST
BY TRACI CARL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq's outgoing interior minister predicted yesterday that his country's emerging police and army may be capable of securing the nation in 18 months, saying his officers are beginning to take over from coalition forces.
Insurgents, meanwhile, targeted Shiite pilgrims, setting off two blasts that killed at least three people.
ds
Interim Interior Minister Falah al-Naqib's comments came as security was heightened in the already heavily fortified Green Zone, where the National Assembly will hold its long-awaited second session today to choose a parliament speaker and two deputies.
Negotiators haggled over who would get the parliament speaker job, considering interim President Ghazi al-Yawer. They hope the inclusion of Sunni Arabs like him in the new government will help quell the Sunni-led insurgency.
But al-Yawer turned down the post and instead asked the Shite-led United Iraqi Alliance for the vice president's post, said Ali Faisal, political coordinator for the Shite Political Council, which is part of the alliance.
Alliance members agreed to nominate former nuclear scientist Hussain al-Shahristani as one of two deputy parliament speakers and interim Finance Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi as one of two vice presidents.
Alliance negotiator Jawad alMaliki said the Sunni Arabs were expected to name a candidate for the parliament's speaker position today.
Al-Naqib predicted that militants would target Tuesday's National Assembly meeting -- only the second since the parliament was elected nearly two months ago in the nation's first free election in 50 years. The lawmakers met March 16 but repeatedly have postponed a second meeting because of negotiations over Cabinet positions.
Roads were blocked off yesterday, and security was tightened around the area, already surrounded by concrete blast walls and barbed wire. Several mortar rounds slammed into the banks of the Tigris River, just short of the Green Zone.
Underscoring tensions with the country's majority Shiites — who make up 60 percent of Iraq's estimated 26 million people — insurgents set off two explosions targeting Shiite pilgrims heading to
Karbala for a major religious ceremony.
In Musayyib, 40 miles south of Baghdad, a suicide bomber on a bicycle blew himself up near a police patrol protecting the pilgrims, Capt. Muthana al-Furati of the Hillah police force said. Two policemen were killed. The attack wounded two other officers and three civilians.
The other bombing took place at the Imam al-Khedher shrine compound in Kalis, 50 miles north of Baghdad. The attack killed one pilgrim and wounded two others resting at the compound, Col. Abdullah Hessoni Abdullah said.
Pilgrims travel to Karbala to mark al-Arbaeen, the end of a 40-day mourning period after the anniversary of the 7th-century martyrdom of Imam Hussein, one of the Shiite religion's top saints.
In a news conference, al-Naqib outlined progress by the country's fledgling security forces, predicting that U.S. troops would be able to begin slowly pulling out of parts of the country, and that "hopefully, within 18 months at the most we will be capable of securing Iraq."
"We hope that next summer there will be a huge reduction in
the numbers of multinational patrols," he said. "In some cities, there will be no foreign troops at all."
He said Iraqi police had better intelligence on local insurgents and criminal gangs that have flourished since the March 2003 U.S.-led invasion, helping reduce the number of casualties caused by car bombs and other attacks.
"I think it will collapse very soon," he said of the country's insurgency.
The interior minister added that Iraq's most-wanted terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, "has been surrounded in more than one area, and we hope for the best."
Al-Zarqawi's organization has claimed responsibility for kidnappings and killings across Iraq. On Sunday, militants posted a video on the Internet showing the purported execution of a man identifying himself as Interior Ministry official Col. Ryadh Gatie Olyway. The authenticity of the tape could not be verified.
Al-Naqib gave no timeline for a complete U.S. withdrawal, something U.S. officials have repeatedly said hinged on the security situation in Iraq and the wishes of the Iraqi government.

stealing gas, including pre-paying for gas.
One Lawrence station now requires that all customers pay before they pump.
Jeff Smith, a clerk at Conoco,
955 E. 23rd Street, said once the gas price rose above $2.10, the owner decided to begin using a pre-pay system.
"We lost $160 one Saturday from drive-offs," Smith said.
Other stores, such as Zarco,
are more reluctant to use a pre-
pay system because it may inconvenience some customers, Williams said.
In the next few weeks, it's very likely that Zarco stores will go to a pre-pay system to prevent people from stealing gas, Long said.
Although Long hasn't seen a
significant increase in gas thefts, he said any theft was a big problem for a business.
"It's one of those things where someone does something illegal and we all have to pay for it." Long said.

often adjust their prices according to the competition.
Dressler said four gas stations were in the area, and each set its prices based on what the other
gas stations were charging.
Although stores are trying to help customers when and how they can, the stores still need to receive payment.
"We don't really do any discounts," said Mike Dressler, assistant manager of Diamond Shamrock, Ninth and Ohio Streets. "We always have low prices because of competition."
"It hasn't been bad enough yet to start making everyone prepay," he said.
Long said he has thought about making people pay at the pump, which he hopes will discourage drivers from fueling without paying.
Dressler said his station has not yet considered requiring pre-
davment.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Gas attendants are responsible for all cars that are filled at the station, Long said. However, gas thefts have not been on a dramatic rise for Zarco, he said.
But incentives don't always validate high gas prices for some individuals. Bike riding, running and walking are alternatives to the rising cost of driving.
"I try and ride my bike to campus two to three times a week," said Jenny Hoyt, Topeka senior.
Long said he has seen more people walking now than in the past. But he said he has not seen a boycott on gas sales yet.
Her home is located near Sixth and Kasold Streets. "I'll ride a lot more now that the weather is getting nicer."

The Vickers family selected Coulter for the series. J.A. Vickers, Sr. was a 1916 graduate of the University and founded Vickers Patroleum Co. in Wichita. His son Robert Vickers, Sr. also supported the lecture series.
Coulter is a lawyer and has appeared on numerous talk shows. She also wrote The New York Times best-seller "Slander: Liberal Lies about the American Right."

Members of the KU College Republicans plan to show up early and get good seats for the event. Josh Steward, chairman of the College Republicans, invited members to show up at 5 p.m. and eat pizza while they wait in line.
Steward said Coulter was a controversial person and that many people on campus disliked her.
Some students are lining up ahead of time in anticipation of her lecture.
"Lastly, she speaks her mind — strike three. People get upset if you don't say what they want to hear."
Coulter
"A lot of people on campus hate conservatives, so that is strike one." Steward said.
"And if you're a woman or a minority, and prominent in politics, then some people dislike you more because you don't fit their stereotype, so that is strike two.
Coulter definitely strikes out for many people, Steward said.
He said he had never heard
Coulter speak before and was
curious to know what she
would talk about.
Coulter is known for criticizing liberal politics and making controversial statements about Democratic officials, such as former presidential candidate John Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.
"I hope she makes a few good political points instead of just attacks." Steward said.
"I guess I'm going for the same reason people go to scary movies," Behgam said. "I want to see what happens."
"People like her do it for notoriety rather than the education of the public," Beghgam said. "I think she's just saying things for marketing, not her true beliefs."
As controversial as she is,
Coulter has attracted
Democrats in addition to
Republicans.
Behgam said he thought Coulter was more of an entertainer than a real political analyst.
Bryan Behgam, vice president of the KU Young Democrats, said he planned on attending the event tonight. Behgam said he wanted to hear what Coulter had to say.
Whatever people's opinions are of her, Coulter has sparked curiosity among both sides of the political spectrum.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required for the event.

Students across campus yesterday were divided as to whether KUnited should be able to claim the issue as its own.
Kim Cooper. Lawrence senior, said KUnited should control the issue.
"If they're participating in the process, they have every right to put it on their platform," she said.
Reginald Mitchell, Wichita freshman, said the issue should not be restricted to one coalition's platform.
"If it's going to happen anyway, it should be on everyone's platform." Mitchell said.
Apart from being able to redeem ticket purchases online.
Sterner said other facets of the new system that KUUnited representatives and Marchiony have discussed included ensuring students' ability to be able to trade and sell their tickets to other students, stopping students who have graduated from using their KUIDs to get into games, reducing long lines, and separating big games into different periods to reduce the chance of lotteries.
Marchiony said the department had a long way to go before it could implement the system, so it was too early to say exactly how the system would work. But he said he hoped to have it in place by the start of the 2005-2006 basketball season.

NFL
Rams player's trial for felony begins
CLAYTON, Mo. — Jury selection began yesterday in the trial of St. Louis Rams defensive end Leonard Little, accused as a persistent offender of felony drunken driving.
Little, 30, was arrested April 24 on Interstate 64 in the St. Louis suburb of Ladue and charged with speeding and driving under the influence after allegedly failing three field sobriety tests.
No one was injured in that case, and Little has pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Little was charged as a persistent offender because he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in a 1998 drunken-driving accident in downtown St. Louis that killed Susan Gutweiler of St. Louis County.
In that case, Little served three months in jail, four years of probation and 1,000 hours of community service. He also was suspended without pay for the first half of the 1999 season.
Don Schneider, a spokesman for St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCullough, has said jury selection could take a couple of days, and the trial could take a week.
If convicted of the latest DWI charge, Little could face up to four years in prison along with another NFL suspension.
Jury selection went slowly yesterday, with potential panelists interviewed separately by Circuit Judge Emmett M. O'Brien, Little's prosecutors and the athlete's defenders.
O'Brien has not issued a gag order, but previously said the prosecution and defense had agreed not to talk about the case until it goes to trial. O'Brien also has barred prosecutors from mentioning at trial Little's involvement in the fatal 1998 wreck.
Little, a Pro Bowl selection in 2003, last season had 46 tackles, 6.5 sacks and recovered four fumbles.
The Associated Press
either. Miles was continually beaten by Bison sophomore Abe Badmum, who had 11 assists and no turnovers. Junior Kevin Bettencourt led the Bison with 19 points, including 10 in the first half. Chris McNaughton also scored 10 second-half points while continually posting up Simien and junior Christian Moody.

The most disappointing aspect of that game was that Kansas lost to a team that didn't play its best game. Neither Kansas nor Bucknell played well. In previous tournament upsets, the Jayhawks were victims of stellar performances. In 1997, No. 4-seed Arizona's Mike Bibby led the Wildcats with 21 points. In 1998, No. 8-seed Rhode Island's Cuttino Mobley scored 27 points. In both games, Kansas was a No. 1 seed, and it took nearly perfect performances from Arizona and Rhode Island to upset Kansas. Bucknell only needed a mediocre performance this year.
Kansas played the "we're more talented than you" card all season, escaping with close victories against Vermont, Texas A&M and Nebraska at home. In those contests, the
opposition played harder and wanted to win more than the Jayhawks. Kansas won those games with talent and luck, not superb play. With the exception of wins against Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Texas and Oklahoma State, Kansas rarely played like a team that wanted to win. For some reason, the Jayhawks were pumped up against their toughest foes, but they played down to the level of their weaker opponents.
One can only guess why the Jayhawks fell apart. The seniors never quite bought into Coach Bill Self's system and they never jelled as a team. The freshmen didn't develop and Self never had a consistent rotation. Giddens and Langford were inconsistent, nearly everyone was injured at some point during the season and Self couldn't pump up his players. Plus, guys named Collison and Hinrich don't play here anymore. Or maybe the team just wasn't as good as everyone thought.
All of these may be reasons why a preseason No. 1-ranked team that had one of its best senior classes in history and was expected to contend for the National Championship couldn't put the pieces together.

wasn't the appropriate time to pat him on the back for his efforts.
"I don't know what else you can say other than that everyone associated with the program appreciates you and is proud of your effort," Self said.
As much as Lee's performance surprised outsiders, Jayhawk fans came to expect this type of play from the unheralded senior that many players claimed to be their team leader.
In the second round of the
Big 12 Tournament on March 11, he pulled down a career-high 12 rebounds in a victory against Kansas State. He followed that game by scoring 14 points against Oklahoma State in the tournament's third round.
"The only thing that's disappointing is the way we went out," he said. "But I guess that happens to every team."
Lee said he realized that he became a solid contributor for the Jayhawks as the year progressed, and admitted the end of his career was bittersweet.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah center Andrew Bogut will enter the NBA draft, forgoing his final two years of eligibility to possibly become the No. 1 choice.
NBA
"I have no regrets and full-speed ahead," the 7-footer from Australia said at a news conference yesterday.
Utah player Bogut enters NBA draft
Bogut, the leading vote-getter on the AP All-America team, averaged 20.4 points and 12.2 rebounds while leading the Utes to a 29-6 season, which ended with a loss to Kentucky
in the regional semi-finals of the NCAA tournament.
"My decision is about what is best for my basketball career," Bogut said.
Bogut considered leaving after last season, when he was the Mountain West Conference freshman of the year, but a visit to Australia from new Utah coach Ray Giacoletti convinced Bogut to put off the NBA at least another year.
Bogut is expected to be a lottery pick in the NBA draft and possibly the first player chosen overall with his exceptional ball-handling skills for a center. Bogut led Utah in scoring and rebounding.

After 16 team games, the women were in eighth place, 51 pins behind the fourth place team. Meanwhile, the men were in second place but were 234 pins behind Pikeville College and held only a 12-pin advantage over Florida State University. By the end of the day, the women had jumped up to second, shortening a 256-pin deficit to Pikeville College to a 21-pin disadvantage. The men held their ground at second and were able to pull with-

"Overall, we're not exactly pleased with how we performed, we were pretty snafu," sophomore Trent Overby said. "It gives us something to shoot for at Nationals."
The third place finishes by the men's and women's teams qualify them for the championship, which will be held April 20 to 24. This is third-straight year that the women have advanced to the championship and is the fifth-straight appearance for the men.

MEN'S GOLF
Jayhawks to enter final round today
The Kansas men's golf team is just two strokes from the lead in the 59th Western Intercollegiate at the Pasatiempio Golf Club in Santa Cruz, Calif., today.
The Jayhawks stand alone in second place in an 18-team field after firing a two-round total of 584 yesterday. Oregon is in first place with a two-round score of 582. Thirteenthranked UCLA enters play today in third place.
Senior Kevin Ward is in third place after a first round 73, followed by a second round 68. Sophomore Gary Woodland also played well, posting a two-round score of 146. Sophomore Tyler Docking struggled in the opening round, shooting a 78, but he rebounded to fire a 73 in the afternoon round for a two-round score of 151. Junior Luke Trammell and junior Pete Krsnich each posted scores of 152 through the first two rounds.
"We really have to go out there and concentrate on finishing," Randall said. "This course is a tricky and difficult golf course, but this is the best we have played here in the last two or three years."
Coach Ross Randall said that he was pleased with the way his team played in the opening rounds but knew it would take a lot to win today.
The men will tee it up this morning in the final round.

ADVENTURES OF A FAKE BLONDE
Scott Drummond/KANSAN
Oh, I just love the new "botherman look" that's out this year. It's just so cute!
I am rather font of the eclectic look myself.
May I help you shop for anything today?
Actually, I think I'll try on the outfit you're wearing. I could only find a size 10, but that's the great thing about skirts... hello elastic!
Oh, I use!

▼ HOROSCOPES
+ Today's Birthday You may have to defer gratification this year, but don't complain. Whatever you're thinking of buying will cost less the more cash you can put down.
+ Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
It's not a good time to take risks.
Reinforce your security instead, with
your own imagination and hard work.
Build it right, and then relax.
- Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7.
A fool learns from their mistakes, a wise person from someone else's. Pay attention and prove you're the latter. Let somebody else trip up.
+ Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8. You're hardy earning enough to make all this labor worth while. You are learning discipline, however. That's your true reward.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
You're gaining respect, even from
people who don't agree with you.
This is because you stand up for your principles. You have some good ones.
> Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Having relatives over is good, generally speaking. If one of them doesn't completely approve of your lifestyle, don't dismay. You can bear the irritation.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) Today is a 5.
Do the research, and you will find a way to bring more money in. You might increase sales or cut your costs or both. Conditions are right.
- Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7.
it always helps if you push in the direction you want to go. There's plenty of money out there, so route some more of it into your pocket.
Advertise.
+ Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
In spite of everything, you'll find this day turns out in your favor. The added

impetus you need comes from a distant source.
♦ Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 10, if there's something you need, advertise on the grapevine. Tell a person with lots of connections, and then wait around for the calls to come in. It won't take long.
*Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 6.* You always volunteer to do theicky jobs, but wait. Maybe there's another way. Talk to somebody who's been there and done that. Minimize potential messes.
- Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7
Your work's in demand. It's up to you
to make sure it's also acceptable. Don't
go for any "pie-in-the-sky" deals. Get
all the terms down in writing.
- Pises (Feb, 19-March 20) Today is a 7.
Somebody you love helps you stick to the straight and narrow. Don't be distracted by wealth or glory, they're too transitional.

Lee went out with a bang
Talent doesn't ensure victory
MEN'S BASKETBALL
KANSAS
25
While watching the North Carolina vs. Villanova game Friday, I started to think about talent. As Villanova's lead dwindled and North Carolina started to pull away, I realized that talent isn't always enough to win games. This was the case when Bucknell defeated Kansas in the first round. North Carolina was arguably the most talented team in college basketball. And although Villanova was also talented, it didn't quite stack up against North Carolina.
With the exception of seniors Wayne Simien and Mike Lee, the Jayhawks looked flat against Bucknell. They didn't execute on offense, played soft defense, didn't hustle and were outplayed. They looked like they expected to win and didn't think they needed to play hard for a victory.
As much as I prayed for another Roy Williams NCAA Tournament upset, I knew that North Carolina would find a way to win. Unlike Kansas, it was able to ride its talent to victory in a game that Villanova clearly wanted to win more. Kansas could not do the same against a hungry Bucknell team making only the third tournament appearance in its school's history.
It's difficult for any team to win a game when only two of its players show up. Simien and Lee combined for 42 points and 17 rebounds, which was more than half of the entire team's production in both categories. Seniors Aaron Miles, Keith Langford and sophomore J.R. Giddens combined to go 2-for-19 from the field for 12 points. Eight of those points came from the free-throw line.
The Jayhawk defense was nothing to write home about

Mike Lee yells after making a layup and being fouled in the March 18 game against Bucknell. Lee converted the three-point play on his way to a career game with 18 points. It wasn't enough, though, as the Jayhawks lost in the first round to Bucknell 64-63.

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Senior guard Mike Lee was preparing for practice in Allen Fieldhouse, three days before the Kansas men's basketball team lost to Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, when a reporter asked if he considered himself a team leader.
Transfer guard Rodrick Stewart overheard the conversation and gave his two cents as he walked by.
"yeah," Stewart said. "He's the leader."
Lee grinned as Stewart Lee passed, laughed, and said, "I don't know about that. I think Aaron Miles is our leader."
Whether Lee agreed with the assessment or not, he certainly played like a senior leader in the Jayhawks' season-ending loss to the Bison. His performance was one of the few positives Kansas could take away from that game.
Lee replaced senior guard Keith Langford in the starting lineup, and played the best game of his college career. He scored a career-high 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Lee proved that he was worthy of starting in the NCAA Tournament, and if it weren't for Kansas losing the game, Jayhawk fans might have remembered his performance for years to come.
"Mike Lee was terrific," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "If he doesn't play great, that game wouldn't have been as close as it was."
Lee scored the first five points of the game against Bucknell and converted a pivotal steal and layup combination, pulling the Jayhawks within three points of the Bison in the first half.
He continued his clutch play in the second half and hit two free throws, after being intentionally fouled, and cut the Bucknell lead to 62-61 late in the game.
"Early in the game I thought they were quicker to the balls than we were, with the exception of Mike Lee." Self said.

Easier bowl trip?
Weaker victories could be counted
BY RYAN COLAIANI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The NCAA is considering a rule change that would allow Division I-A teams to count a victory against a Division I-AA team every season.
The Kansas Jayhawks may have an easier path to a bowl game next season then originally thought.
"From everything we have heard, it sounds like it is going to go through with some other things, but until that happens we have to wait," said Larry Keating, senior associate director of the University of Kansas Athletics Corporation.
If the proposal does not go through, the Jayhawks would have to go 7-4 in order to qualify for a second bowl trip in the past three seasons. The current rule allows for I-A teams to count a win over a I-AA opponent for
Kansas is scheduled to face IAA Appalachian State on Sept. 10 at Memorial Stadium.
Keating had been in talks with Division I-A schools for the past year to fill that Sept. 10 date.
"I talked to everyone who was open for that date," Keating said of the Sept. 10 game. "The problem was we couldn't find a team that was willing to come to us on that date."
bowl considerations only once every four years.
Keating said that a home-and-home was discussed. That would mean the Jayhawks would be host to the opponent on Sept. 10 and then play at the opponent's home the following year. He also said that they were willing to compensate a Division I-A team to come just to Lawrence, but the discussions never got that far.
"We are very supportive and we were aware of the proposal when we were still trying to fill that last open date," Keating said.
Because no Division I-A teams were available Keating was forced to look for a I-AA opponent, which led to Appalachian State filling the open date. An NCAA rule change could be the best possible scenario for the Jayhawks.
At an open practice on March 16, Kansas coach Mark Mangino did not appear to be frustrated with playing a I-AA school, despite the potential of needing an extra win to qualify for a bowl game.
Associate athletic director Jim Marchiony told the Journal-World that $15 million of the nearly $30 million that was expected to be needed for the facility had been raised. Marchiony said that since the beginning of the year, $6 million had been raised from anonymous donors.
Funding update
The Athletics Department is nearly halfway complete in its fundraising for a football office and training facility at Memorial Stadium, according to an article printed in the Lawrence Journal-World.
"We think that it is going well," Marchiony said to the Journal-World. "We're impatient because we want to do this. We wish it were done, but we're actively working on that, and we're confident that it will happen."

FOOTBALL
Uniform color change could come this week
For several weeks, rumors have been circulating that the Kansas football team will don new uniforms when it takes the field in September.
Everything should be cleared up within a week.
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony confirmed that the athletics department is looking into changing the color of the teams jerseys.
"We are looking at that right now," Marchiony said. "We should probably know in a week or so."
The University officially designated its color as "royal blue" in February.
The KU football uniform has been a darker shade of blue since 2002, but because of the change, it may be a lighter shade of blue next season.
"We are not sure if we are going to be able to have it begin next season or the year following," Marchionny said.
The change of color means that all University athletics teams will be sporting the same color of blue. Kansas football wore a shade of blue that will be similar to the new jerseys before 2002.

Permits and fees of parking to rise
BY JOSHUA BICKEL
jbickel@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The Parking Commission voted yesterday to raise all parking permit prices a total of 40 percent during the next two years.
If Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger approve the plan, prices will increase 20 percent next fall, followed by another 20 percent for the 2006-2007 academic year.
"We want to get these rates set so that people can see what it's going to cost," Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said.
Tom Mulinazzi, chairman of the Parking Commission, said that the chancellor and provost will likely approve the commission's plan.
An increase in parking meter fines and event parking was also suggested during yesterday's meeting. The commission plans to raise meter fines from $5 to $10.
Increased revenue for parking per
mits will help fund a new 1,500-space Park and Ride lot and maintenance costs of existing parking lots.
A Park and Ride lot, which the location of has not yet been decided, will cost about $7 million to build and the Parking Department has about $700,000 in maintenance costs per year.
Maintenance work may begin as early as this summer.
"If we are allowed to develop a list of lots that need improvement, people will begin to see them being improved." Hultine said.
The Parking Commission considered different options, including raising the rates 40 percent in one year. Some members of the commission expressed concern that lower-income staff would not be able to afford an increase all at once.
"I think what they decided was the most conscientious for the people buying the permits," Hultine said.
But not all members of the commission agreed with the decision
Mulinazzi said he rather the
increase come together because the plan could be thrown out by next year's commission members. The present commission has no control about what the next Parking Commission will decide to do in the future, he said.
Another increase in permit rates is likely if the University decides to develop a campus transit system in the next two or three years, Mulnazzi said. Right now, transit isn't a main concern for the Parking Department, Hultine said.
Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, was concerned about the lack of an adequate transportation system, especially for the new Park and Ride lot. The student transportation fee will have to increase in order to cover expenses for the new lot. Dunlap said.
"I think students are getting the short end of the sick out of this," he said. "Not only will they pay for an increase in permits, but also for an increase in the fee."

A group of protesters hold up a quote by Ann Coulter outside the Lied Center last night before she spoke as part of the Vickers Memorial Lecture Series. The controversial conservative criticized Democrats and liberals, but spoke most of the evening amidst yelling from a crowd of about 1,800.

Controversial speaker criticizes liberals amidst yelling from Lied Center crowd
BY JASON SHAAD
jshaad@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After several people continued to haggle her during her speech last night in the Lied Center, Ann Coulter made a call for help.
"I'm not going to keep talking if people keep yelling," said Coulter, a conservative political commentator and best-selling author. "If you see someone yelling, I want the College Republicans to get up and kick them out."
A crowd of people in the front rows got up, walked up the aisles, and tried to get a few of the people yelling to leave.
Lied Center personnel and security stepped in and told the students who were yelling that they needed to leave or quietly wait until the end of the speech to ask questions.
About 1,800 people attended Coulter's speech, which was part of the Vickers Memorial Lecture Series.
Coulter criticized Democrats and liberals throughout her speech, joking that Democrats exaggerated trivial matters.
"I think the Democrats should make SpongeBob the mascot of their party," Coulter said. "They were offended that a cartoon character was being slandered, while Bush was being criticized about the war."
Coulter said Democrats complained too much about the presidential election, the war in Iraq and 9/11.
"Liberals are always complaining about being repressed," Coulter said.

One woman kept shouting questions from the back of the auditorium. After refusing to be quiet, a crowd official removed the person. The audience burst into applause at her removal.
Sometimes the yells were stifled by applause from other members of the audience. Other times Coulter just spoke over the hagglers.
"I say let's do it. Let's repress them. We can burn their books and repress their ideas and damage the ozone at the same time." she ioked.
Students had mixed responses to Coulter's speech.
All night Coulter spoke over muffled yells from the audience.

Ann Coulter, right-wing commentator, gestures during her speech last night at the Lied Center. Coulter spoke to a crowd of almost 2,000 people about "the world according to Ann Coulter." At one point during her speech she threatened to stop because the crowd was out of control.
"I thought she was catty and nitpicky," said Marta Buechler, St. Louis sophomore. "And that is what she accuses liberals of doing anyway."

Screening of 'CSA' tonight
By Stephen Shupe
By Stephen Shupe The Student Union Activities Committee is sponsoring a special advanced screening of "CSA: The Confederate States of America" at 7 tonight in the Kansas Union. The movie was written and directed by Kevin Willmott, assistant professor of theater and film
Kevin Willmott, assistant professor of theater and film, opens "CSA: The Confederate States of America" with a quote from playwright George Bernard Shaw: "If you're going to tell the people the truth, you better make them laugh. Otherwise they'll kill you."
The writer and director then pulls the audience into a wickedly satirical alternate reality in which the South won the Civil War. Imagine that the miniseries "Roots" was directed by Michael Moore and you'll have a good idea of what Willmott's film looks like.
Using the style developed by documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, Willmott, who also provides the voice of Frederick
Douglass, assembles archival photographs, live cinematography and interviews with historians to construct a dizzying collage of revisionist history.
"CSA" purports to be a British documentary airing on Confederate television, complete with commercial interruptions. It takes us right up to the present day, when slavery still exists in America. We see how Gen. Robert E. Lee won the War Between the States, how Confederate President Jefferson Davis took over the White House and how "Dishonest Abe" fled only to be caught later and convicted of war crimes.

"We knew from research that the crossword was one of the most popular entertainment aspects of the 'Kansan,'" said Ashley Bolton, Wichita junior and Kansan promotions manager. "We thought we would make it come to life."
Gift certificates to local restaurants and movie passes will be given to the winner, said Chris Pumpelly, Wichita junior and assistant promotions manager for the Kansan.
Participants received a "Sound Check — Volume II" compilation CD after their time expired with the crossword.
The contest featured a crossword that hadn't been featured in the Kansan to keep people from doing it beforehand and cheating. Bolton said.
The crossword used is from www.thinks.com.
"It it used a lot of proper nouns and I suck with names," Sibinski said. "Especially ones I never heard of."
A different crossword made it harder to fill out because the clues are different from the usual crossword, Lindsey Price, Shawnee junior, said.
Justin Hume, Lawrence senior, concentrates on his crossword as part of the first crossword contest put on by the Kansan. The event took place yesterday afternoon on Wescoe Beach. The winner of the contest will have a picture in the paper and receive gift certificates from several local businesses.

New safety advisory group to meet
BY NATE KARLIN
nkarlin@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Mental health agencies have spearheaded a statewide safety advisory committee that will meet with a consultant for the first time next Thursday, following the death of social worker Teri Lea Mathis Zenner last August.
"We couldn't have foreseen it," he said. "We don't know what we could've done to have a different outcome."
David Wiebe, director of the Johnson County Mental Health Center, which employed Zenner at the time of his death, she he wished he could have prevented her death on August 17. Bu nothing about Zenner's client suggested dangerous behavior.
Zenner, a graduate student at the University of Kansas, was killed during a scheduled client visit at a client's home.
The client, 17-year-old Andrew Ellmaker, has been charged with Zenner's murder.
The Johnson County Mental Health Center, along with the Wydowette Center
for Behavioral Health Care, brought the committee together.

Seven months later, the advisory committee received $24,000 from the state to fund the project, Wiebe said.

assist the development resource materials for a supervisor's safety tool kit, Wiebe said.
The safety tool kit would cover safety issues and provide resource materials and discussion guides to the state's 29 mental health centers.
The kit would allow social workers to have 15 to 30 minute discussions per day or per week with team leaders, Wiebe said.
"Rather than focus on one-time training, we really want to set the stage with dealing with safety issues." he said.
The Johnson County Mental Health Center created an internal安全委员会 that will identify issues and develop strategies that pertain to the center.
The committee has developed several self-defense courses, client risk factors and photo ID badges. Wiebe said.
This was be the first committee at the center with sole responsibilities of safety, Wiebe said.
The team leaders from the 15 teams that work in the community will then decide what will be taught to prevent specific incidents. Wiebe said.
The groups are broken into two areas: adult clients with severe illness and children with severe emotional disturbance.
The center has considered the buddy system approach to safety, but accompanying a worker in every situation would be near impossible. Wiebe said.
There are about 150 case managers who help perform the 1,000 community outreaches per week at various locations.
To help alleviate any further confrontations, the center has also offered self-defense training classes and cell phones to its workers. Webe said.
"This is not a problem they can fix in a day," he said. "It will take a while."
Matt Zenner, Teri's widower, said he appreciated the center spending seven months developing its plan rather than rushing through the procedures.
He said self defense was important for social workers to know, but that didn't mean using martial arts to beat somebody up.
Zenner wanted to enforce the importance of recognizing little objects around the house that could be used effectively.
Teri Zenner's death was not common at the center, but safety issues are becoming popular in today's culture, Wiebe said.
"Bottom line is we have changed in terms of the culture and how we pay attention to and address the safety," he said. "It's something that will always be a part of our culture and our organization."

In-home workers need panic buttons after murder of student during visit
Matt Zenner doesn't take credit for anything he has accomplished for social workers during the past seven months.
He directs praise to his wife, Teri Lea Mathis Zenner, a KU graduate student in social welfare who was murdered while on a visit to a client's house in August.
ON CAMPUS
Zenner has worked since August to protect not just social workers, but all professionals who make in-home visits, including nurses and teachers.
"I don't want another person to live through what I've been through," he said.
After seven months, the presence of his accomplishments has spread as far
Since August, he has requested a review of the state's safety policies, a creation of a statewide safety manual and to equip all personnel who work in home environments with a panic button.
as a mental health center in Pennsylvania. Zenner said newspapers in 40 states had recognized his efforts. Earlier this year Zenner traveled to Washington, D.C., with Dennis Moore, (D-Kan.), to lobby for nationwide safety changes.
He said he believed all three goals would be met.
Though Zenner has made positive strides in the field of social work following the tragedy, Teri's death still affects him.
Each time he walks into the Johnson County District courtroom and sees the man who murdered his wife, a minor at the time of the murder.
he relives the painful memories of that tragic Aug. 17 afternoon.
For the past seven months, Zenner and his daughter, Alayna, have managed to cope on a day-to-day basis.
"I have yet, to this date, found anyone who has had this happen to them." Zenner said. "That's the toughest part."
Zenner has been counting down the days until the jury decides the killer's sentence. On that day, Alayna will accompany him to the courtroom for the first time, he said.
Until that day comes, he and Alayna will be unable to completely put the tragedy to rest.
Like most children, Alayna has healed quickly, but Zenner doesn't think she has grasped the full picture, he said.
She understands that Teri will not
come back, but memories and wishes for her return emerge in conversation on a daily basis. Zenner said.
Even after the sentencing, Zenner will not give up on trying to prevent a similar occurrence.
Despite his emotional suffering, Zenner returned to work after several months off. He said it was the only way to keep his mind off the situation.
As far he has come since Aug.17, Zenner said his plan was only halfway finished.
He said he would spend the rest of his life keeping other social workers safe despite the pain each day brought.
"This is something that I pushed on a routine basis. I'm not going to let it go away," he said. "This is something that will never end."

Man assaults female student in Oliver Hall parking lot
The KU Public Safety Office is investigating a battery that occurred Monday afternoon in Lot 112, outside Oliver Hall, said Capt. Schuyler Bailev. KU Public Safety Office.
At 5:45 p.m. Monday, a 19-year-old KU female student was approaching her car in the lot when she noticed a man hunched over her car.
The woman confronted the man, who stood up, turned around and hit her once under her right eye, according to a KU Public Safety Office report.
The man then ran toward 19th Street, according to the report.
The vehicle had no damage and no entry was made inside, according to the report.
The man is described as an 18-year-old hispanic male, about 5-foot-5 weighing between 140 and 150 pounds. He has dark brown hair, dark eyes and a medium build, according to the report.

Willimott's screenplay subtly alters the historical record to reveal disturbing hidden truths. He captures chilling images, such as a Confederate flag flying over the White House.
In the commercial breaks, we see his satirical humor in advertisements for products with racist brand names and previews of Confederate television shows, such as a "Cops"-style series that depicts policemen tracking down runaway slaves. Original music, graphics and even traditional animation lend the commercials a distinctive comic edge.
In a great scene, the director and his cinematographer, assistant professor of theatre and film Matt Jacobson, recreate the aesthetic of 1950s science fiction movies as a man confesses his abolitionist politics to his horrified wife. It's a
thought-provoking parody of the anxieties of the Atomic Age.
Willmont also pokes fun at President Bush. John Ambrose Fauntroy V, played by Larry Peterson, is a good old boy in a cowboy hat running for president on a platform of family values. Be sure to stay through the end credits for his hilarious theme song. "Fauntroy is the Man!"
I'd rank "CSA" alongside Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York." Both tell controversial stories in potent, entertaining ways that serve to deepen our understanding of American history.
The film was shot entirely in the Lawrence area, with the help of students in the department of theatre and film. IFC Films picked up the film at the Sundance Film Festival one year ago, and Willmott has spent the interval touring the festival circuit in Europe. IFC will reportedly release "CSA" nationally in July.

Coulter did not save her biting wit for her speech only.
When one student interrupted her speech with a question, "What about weapons of mass destruction?" Coulter responded, "I'm Ann Coulter, not President Bush. You're even stupider than I thought."
Coulter's comments drew laughs from much of the crowd, but they weren't a hit with everyone. Even some people who respected her had mixed feelings.

Others thought the people shouting questions disrupted the event.
"If they were so distraught about what she was saying, they could get up and leave," said Sara Garlick, Sanford, Maine, junior.
At the end of her speech, Coulter received a standing ovation.
She received $25,000 for her appearance. The money came from the Vickers endowment fund, said Toni Dixon, director of communications for the School of Business.

OBITUARY
Cochran dies from brain tumor
BY LINDA DEUTSCH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., who became a legal superstar after helping clear O.J. Simpson during a sensational murder trial in which he uttered the famous quote "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit," died yesterday. He was 67.
Cochran died of a brain tumor at his home in Los Angeles, his family said.
"Certainly, Johnnie's career will be noted as one marked by 'celebrity' cases and clientele," his family said in a statement. "But he and his family were most proud of the work he did on behalf of those in the community."
With his colorful suits and
ties, his gift for courtroom oratory and a knack for coining memorable phrases, Cochran was a vivid addition to the pantheon of best-known American barristers.
The "if it doesn't fit" phrase would be quoted and parodied for years afterward. It derived from a dramatic moment during which Simpson tried on a pair of bloodstained "murder gloves" to show jurors they did not fit. Some legal experts called it the turning point in the trial.
Soon after, jurors found the Hall of Fame football star not guilty of the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
For Cochran, Simpson's acquittal was the crowning
achievement in a career notable for victories, often in cases with racial themes. He was a black man known for championing the causes of black defendants. Some of them, like Simpson, were famous, but more often than not they were unknowns.
"The clients I've cared about the most are the No Js, the ones who nobody knows," said Cochran, who proudly displayed copies in his office of the multimillion-dollar checks he won for ordinary citizens who said they were abused by police.
"People in New York and Los Angeles, especially mothers in the African-American community, are more afraid of the police injuring or killing their children than they are of muggers on the corner," he once
By the time Simpson called, the byword in the black community for defendants facing serious charges was: "Get Johnnie."
said.
Over the years, Cochran represented football great Jim Brown on rape and assault charges, actor Todd Bridges on attempted murder charges, rapper Tupae Shakur on a weapons charge and rapper Snoop Dogg on a murder charge.
He also represented former Black Panther Elmer "Geronimo" Pratt, who spent 27 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. When Cochran helped Pratt win his freedom in 1997 he called the moment "the happiest day of my life practicing law."

Attorney Johnnie Cochran relaxes before speaking to students at Winston-Salem State University in Winston-Salem, N.C., Thursday, April 15, 1999. Cochran, who became a legal superstar after helping clear O.J. Simpson during a sensational murder trial in which he uttered the famous quote "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit," died yesterday. He was 67.
Fact
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8A
[Airplane view of the campus]
An artist's rendering from the late 1960s shows a bird's-eye view of campus with an architect's vision for a humanities building tower. The tower was never built. Scaled-down plans resulted in Wescoe Hall as students know it today.
The main entrance to the University was at the corner of 11th and Mississippi streets with a football stadium on the right and the proposed gymnasium on the left. Then a main axial boulevard drove straight up the hill terminating at a massive administration building. A semi-circular cross avenue, Jayhawk Boulevard, would provide access to all buildings along the horseshoe shaped ridge. The existing green "hollows" were left untouched to beautify the entrance to new University buildings yet to be built.
The scope of this project was monumental. But logistically acquiring the land proposed a problem because it was segmented and owned by several different people.
Behind closed doors, friends of University officials planned to buy these disparate plots and sell them back at cost — with the exception of the largest piece of land encompassing 51.2 acres.
That piece belonged to a woman who deeded it to her nephew Frank B. Lawrence who refused to give it to the University. Lawrence proposed to let the University use an immediately adjacent 10 acres, if they paid him 6 percent on $10,000 for the remainder of his life.
Lawrence died in March of 1907, relinquishing the land to the University after the decision was made to change the design.
Later, the location for the gymnasium became centralized where Wescoe Hall sits today, and there was even a proposal to move the football stadium to the south to facilitate further growth.
And that's the truth.
Myth #3: The architect of Strong Hall committed suicide after realizing it was built backwards
Regents. the design was based off of Kessler's plan, but McArdle developed a scheme of monumental proportion.
Fact: This story has no grasp on reality, and that may explain why it is the most common myth regarding campus buildings. The truth behind this story begins shortly after Kessler's plan of 1904 was released.
The cost was estimated at $500,000, and it featured a prominent 4-story rotunda with a 60-foot diameter rotunda lighted by a large flat dome. Massive columns lined the north entrance, facing present day Memorial Stadium.
The plan called for a massive structure located at the top of the hill, which Strong envisioned as "one of the largest and most beautiful buildings in the state."
St. Louis architect Montrose Pallen McArdle was asked to lecture at the University while working on the design. After a year of drawing, the design was presented to the Board of
Once this initial design was completed and presented, a massive plaster-of-paris model was constructed, and the project was handed off to the state architect Charles E. Chandler. It was at this point that design changes began to be made, where in 1909 the large north entrance was sealed down, and the entire building was moved to the north side of Jayhawk Boulevard. In 1909 the east wing was under way, and it was completed in 1911.
The structure was scaled down yet again, and in 1912, the central portion and west wing were excavated only to be put on hold for five years. It seemed as though the east wing was the extent of the building to most students unaware of the final vision.
But once the building resumed in 1917, the west wing was completed in a year, and in 1921, the plans changed again reducing the north wing to simply a grand four-way staircase.
The completed building wasn't finished until 1924, 15 years after
its inception. By that time, the original architect was no longer at the University, and the campus master plan reflected a move to the south. The north grand staircase, however, remained the main access to what was later to be named Strong Hall.
No architect ever committed suicide over the apparent "backwards" nature of the building because the south entrance only became the main entrance after 1940 when the deteriorating north staircase was removed.
Clifford S. Griffin in his book "The University of Kansas: A History" describes the resulting building in comparison to McArdle's design: "Although the building had the general form that McArdle had proposed, it lacked everything that gave proportion and beauty to the original plan: the dome, the pillars, [and] the impressive north facade."
And that's the truth.

Buyung Tiendra/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Residents sit near a house damaged by earthquake in Nias island, Indonesia, yesterday. The small Indonesian island bore the brun of an 8.7-magnitude undersea earthquake that struck late Monday, burying an unknown number of people beneath their homes as they collapsed three months after a massive temblor in the same offshore region west of Sumatra sent tsunami waves crashing into a dozen countries on the Pacific Ocean's rim, killing more than 174,000.
Death toll rises in Indonesia
BY CHRIS BRUMMITT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GUNUNG SITOLI, Indonesia
— His brown eyes puffy and bloodshot, Datot Mendra prepares to spend the night lying next to his wife.
Today he will bury her — and his sister and two other relatives.
"What will I tell my children?" the 55-year-old restaurant owner says. "I can't face it. My faith in Jesus is helping me through this."
Mendra's wife was among some 20 bodies wrapped in white sheets, while candles flickered at their heads. They were laid out on the street outside the Santa Maria church in this town on Indonesia's predominantly Roman Catholic Nias Island.
Most of the deaths from Monday night's 8.7-magnitude
More were arriving. Groups of four men approached, each holding the corner of a sheet with another body.
While the scene outside the church was almost serene, elsewhere on this island of 600,000 people the atmosphere was anything but. Rescue workers working by candles and flashlight hunted through smoldering rub-
earthquake in the Indian Ocean were on Nias, 75 miles south of the epicenter. By yesterday's end, the island's death toll stood at about 330, but government officials said it could climb as high as 2,000.
An unidentified official from nearby Aceh province told Indonesia's Metro TV that about 100 people also died on neighboring Simeulue island. Both islands are just west of Indonesia's much larger Sumatra island.
Dave Jenkins, a New Zealand physician who runs the relief agency SurfAid International in western Sumatra, said he feared for about 10,000 people living on the tiny Banyak Islands, close to the quake's epicenter. By late last night, contact had not been made with the islands.
ble for survivors in flattened buildings. Power was out, and electric cables lay, tangled in the street.
Little heavy machinery was available, so families frantically searching for loved ones used crow bars and their bare hands to lift heavy chunks of concrete.
Smoke drifted out of piles of rubble and concrete homes where walls had folded in on themselves. They almost certainly crushed to death anybody caught inside. A steeple had fallen from a church.
Although most of Indonesia is Muslim, Christianity persists in some areas — a vestige of Dutch colonization. The Nias islanders, particularly the well-organized southern villages, initially put up strong resistance when the Dutch tried to take control. But the Dutch finally conquered the island in 1909, and then Nias slowly started to convert to Christianity.
Monday's quake, which stuck an hour before midnight, toppled
every building in the main street of Gunung Sitoli, a church-studded seaside town that is the island's largest.
A soccer field in the center of town and close to the palm-fringed Indian Ocean beach was transformed into a triage center where a dozen seriously injured islanders, some of them unconscious, were lying on doors salvaged from wrecked homes. They waited, hoping that a relief agency helicopter would be able to airlift them to a hospital on Sumatra.
"Four people here might not make it through the night!" yelled one of the few Western aid workers to arrive in the town Tuesday. "Do you have space on a chopper?"
Elsewhere, two boys sat next to their wounded mother, and a man stood next to his wife, holding the bag for her intravenous drip.
People swarmed around U.N. helicopters as they landed to deliver relief supplies, but food and water were in short supply.

Financial debt growing trend for college students
MINDY OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
.
The latest trend for college students isn't a pair of Crocs or quoting from "Napoleon Dynamite." It's getting into debt.
A study published last year by the State Public Interest Research Group suggested that increasing tuition rates, higher borrowing limits on
government loans and a new surge of low-income students have pushed college graduate's debt burden higher as they borrow more to subsidize their undergraduate educations. The study also said that while the rising cost of college education grew by 40 percent, the median family income increased by only 12 percent.
Maybe that is also why it's not just less-fortunate students who need to take out loans now. By 2000, 46 percent of students from the top income bracket reported borrowing money to help pay for college which is a sharp increase from 1992, when only 24 percent in this bracket borrowed money, according to government figures. In all brackets, the percentage borrowing at least $25,000 rose from seven to 26 percent.
But even when borrowing from the government, students need to be knowledgeable. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of unsubsidized, as opposed to subsidized, loans offered by the federal government. In the former, interest accumulates while the student is still enrolled in a university and is then 'capitalized' — or added to the total — upon graduation. In the previously more common subsidized loan, the state pays the interest on the student's behalf while he or she is attending school. When the student finishes their studies, the graduate is only responsible for the initial amount borrowed.
What's more, the situation does not look bright for anyone taking out a government loan. Currently interest rates are set at 2.75 percent. Just recently, Alan Greenspan issued a statement indicating the government's willingness to further step up rate increases. Previously the increases came in quarter increments but now fearing inflation, they warn that steeper increases could be coming ahead. Higher tuition rates and fewer scholarships can be seen at the University of Kansan just like any other university in the country.
During the 2002-2003 school year, University students have received more than 10,800 scholarships but during the 2003-2004 school year, only 7,650 scholarships were allotted. Now the 2004-2005 school year has seen an increase of $318 per semester for resident undergraduate students taking 15 hours. Non-residents taking 15 hours a semester had a $557.25 increase. And, thanks to a last-minute save by Student Sentate, we averited another tuition hike intended for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Part of the problem is that credit card companies see college students as a prime target.
Therefore, when government loans and scholarships aren't enough, students turn to credit cards as an alternate source of spending power. But, this can prove just as detrimental if not handled properly.
That is because they are most likely not going to be able to pay off their balances every month and therefore, incur interest. So these companies hawk their wares at basketball games or in the Union, they offer cards but student's don't understand exactly what they are getting into.
The average undergraduate has $2,200 in credit card debt, according to Nellie Mae, the nation's largest student creditor. This is a result of all the charges and fees that come with a lot of the credit cards offered to students. For example, a finance charge is an interest charge, which can be as high as 20 percent, on the unpaid portion of your bill each month or an annual fee, where some companies charge yearly membership fees of anywhere from $20 to $100. Therefore, the longer students wait to pay the cards off, the worse it gets. By sticking to minimum payments it would take a student more than 12 years and $1,115 in interest to pay off a $1,000 bill on a card with an 18 percent annual rate.
The University has taken some measures to protect us from ourselves. In 2003, Provost David E. Shulenburger issued a press release that adopted a policy on credit card solicitation where none could take place on campus "the week before and the two weeks following the first day of each semester. Educational material on the use of credit shall be included in the orientation programs for incoming students...the issuer shall provide to students information on the responsible use of credit cards and the risks of credit card use."
Perhaps college students have gotten into this mess because they have no formal education in financial matters. While 37 states have policies that encourage or require students to receive instruction in consumer education, only 14 mandate financial literacy training in high school. Essentially we are expected to learn from our parents or trial by fire.
It is important to keep a few things in mind when dealing with credit cards and loans. Read all application materials carefully, especially the fine print, in order to be familiar with the terms of the agreement. Also consider using a debit card instead of a credit card. Money is deducted directly from your checking account, so you can't spend more than you actually have. And lastly, pay bills to keep finance and other charges to a minimum.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Student Sentate's resolution on marriage ban oversteps bounds
Nick Sterner would be smart to follow his own advice.
"We are elected to represent students," Sterner, KUnited presidential candidate said in a Mar. 17 The University Daily Kansan article.
Unfortunately his actions show that he is doing anything but that. The passing of this resolution calling on University of Kansas students to vote against the ban on gay marriage is an attempt by Student Senate to get students to represent the Senate.
Democracy works best when ideas and policies develop from the substratum upwards. It is a clear violation of this principle when the government tries to influence the votes of its constituents.
Can one ever imagine the chaos that would result if the United States Senate started passing resolutions recommending which presidential candidate one should vote for? It is absolutely
absurd and citizens would just not stand for it. And yet, it is not all that different from what the Student Senate just did.
One must wonder how this resolution cannot be about personal ideology. Sterner's contention that it would violate students' rights is plainly disproven by the simple fact that it would not violate anyone's rights that they do not already have. It is really a pretty transparent move to make a strong, yet mostly likely futile point before the upcoming Senate presidential election.
All in all, I doubt that this resolution will affect the April 5 vote much. And I seriously doubt that this will set an unfortunate precedent for any other governing body. But all the same, Student Senate did overstep its bounds this time and regardless of how much money they spend on sidewalk chalk, I for one will not be voting for Sterner for president.

The day we always knew would come has finally arrived on the doorstep. The real world stares us dead in the eye, seniors, beckoning us to come hither with its bony finger like the grim reaper sent from our uncertain future.
With May comes the end of our lives as we have known them so fondly for the last four years. The clock is ticking, and with every second we grow closer to a time when all of our freedoms will be stripped away and replaced by cubicle walls and water coolers. Something must be done to delay this Armageddon, to decelerate the onset of cell phones attached to our belts and assigned parking spaces.

Saddest of all, basketball is over. Those senior players did not deserve to go out like that, in the first round to a school that none of us had even heard of until Selection Sunday. For those of us who came to this hallowed institution nearly four years ago alongside Keith, Wayne, Aaron and Mike, this tournament's loss was not only the end of a basketball season, it was the end of an era and the anticlimactic culmination of our college careers.
vaccination. Even the most dedicated students fall victim to the lures of laziness when a college degree is on the horizon. Suddenly the president of this or the treasurer of that shivers at the sight of a library, but can recall with flawless clarity which "Seinfeld" reruns ran on TBS last week.
But we cannot let this unfortunate fact deter us
Traditional early risers have turned nocturnal, refusing to skip a night out for fear of what they might miss. I am here to say that these things are all OK. Let us channel what others label as sloth into the most memorable two months of our college careers. As the sun comes out and The Crossing fills up, let us bask in our lack of responsibilities and soak in the sunlight of our free hours. It is true that life will never again be the same, for better or for worse.'
That is precisely why it is time to take advantage of every opportunity that comes along to relax and enjoy being a Jayhawk for these spare moments we have left. This is a call to arms, ladies and gentlemen, a sounding of the bugle from atop Mt. Oread.
As seniors, we owe it to ourselves to leave our mark on this University as one of the greatest classes to ever swagger down the hill. This is not a defined movement with one clear purpose; rather, it is individualistic in nature; but ultimately glorious in its celebration of all that it means to be a senior at the greatest school in the land.
Make it your personal mission to enjoy your last days to their fullest extent. You are making every one of your fellow classmen proud. Stand tall and party hard, senior. It's not over yet.

The truth behind KU architectural myths
COLUMBIA RIVER.
The tower topped out at 332 feet on the south side and 302 feet on the Jayhawk Boulevard side. The south side would have become the tallest building in Kansas.
The Humanities Building would have had an 80-by-80 foot floor plan with 487 faculty offices,28 graduate seminar rooms and 71 graduate study rooms.
ne
By Adam Ferrari ♦ correspondent@kansan.com
The 275,000 square foot Humanities Building contained 51 classrooms and 11 undergraduate study rooms.
The building would have had parking levels with room for 150 automobiles.
If you have ever told someone about how the architect of Strong Hall committed suicide after realizing that he designed it backwards, you have contributed to the urban legends that surround the University of Kansas, which is steeped in tradition and history. With the help of exaggeration, assumptions and simple fabrications, the truth has been lost and several University stories have developed infamy and notoriety. The University history has been extensively recorded and documented throughout the years. With the help of Spencer Research Library, I have set out to confirm and disprove those myths that pervade campus life. So if you have ever wondered about the origins of certain campus buildings or why the University looks the way it does, here is a brief history of our most famous campus myths.
Myth #1: Wesco Hall was meant to be a parking garage for a 20-story office tower
Fact: This story is partly true but mostly misunderstood. The origins of the Humanities Building later named Wescoe Hall begin in the mid '60s with a severe shortage of faculty and staff offices and classrooms for students.
On the site of Wescoe Hall once sat Robinson Gymnasium, the University gymnasium where basketball was played and significant speeches were given. This deteriorating structure sat in the heart of Jayhawk Boulevard until University administrators decided to design a 25-story humanities building on the centrally located site.
Two KU alumni, Art Woodman and Claude Van Doren of Wichita, submitted their proposal to mixed reviews for what would become the tallest structure in Kansas in 1967. Their intention was to create a monumental addition that would complement the existing buildings, especially considering its position on the hill.
The 270,000 square foot structure was to be completed in 1970 at a cost of $5.8 million. The funding could not be achieved with money available from the state, so University administrators decided to
reduce the scale and bring it down to 15 stories in 1968. Even that compromise could not save the tower, and after excavation, the entire design was scrapped. The site lay dormant becoming known as "the pit."
Finally in 1970, another architecture firm produced a new design resembling the current brutalist appearance of Wescoe Hall, which included a vestige of the former tower to house offices for faculty and using the bottom two levels for parking. Once again money became the determining design constraint, and the tower was lost forever with offices now occupying the parking levels.
Therefore, the bottom two levels of Wescoe Hall were once intended to be parking, but it was switched to offices before it was ever constructed.
And that's the truth.
Myth #2: The center of campus was originally planned to be a park
Fact: This legend, while lesser known, is completeness true.
In J. Howard Compton's thesis from 1932 titled, "The Building of the University of Kansas," the chronology of this development is explicitly spelled out. The chancellor at the time, Frank Strong, was bringing about rapid change at the University. The growth under Strong was the fastest of any previous chancellor. He asked the legislature in the early 1900s for two new buildings to meet the need for extra classrooms and a gymnasium.
This brought up the need for a master plan for a future planning precedent.
George E. Kessler, a landscape architecture from Kansas City, Mo., was asked to design the Law Building, present day Lippincott Hall. He also decided to develop drawings for the entire campus.
Kessler's campus plan was unveiled in 1904 and attempted to create a truly unique environment for the University. His design adapted to the natural contours of the land, revealing its symmetry.

ALTON, Mo. — In Kansas, fly fishermen lack the luxury of having access to rivers with native trout habitation.
Kansas rivers and streams accommodate plenty of catfish and flathead, but no trout. Rivers in Missouri are different.
In the southern part of Missouri
there is a plethora of rivers and streams that are deliberately stocked and maintained with conservation of the trout population in mind. Roaring River, near Cassville, and Northfork River are two such waterways.
But even more unique is the presence of native trout in rivers like Eleven Point River and Crane Creek. The latter of the two possesses the oldest population of wild trout in Missouri.
Brian Sloss, co-owner of Eleven Point Canoe Rental and fishing guide in Alton, Mo., has lived in Missouri and fished these rivers all of his life. He has also ventured to Wyoming, Montana and Idaho in pursuit of trout. Still, he said, Missouri trout fishing was different and incomparable with fishing in the West.

Self-made team to emerge
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
If experience defined the 2004-05 Kansas men's basketball team, then inexperience would describe next year's.
Next year's Jayhawk team will have 11 players who are freshmen and sophomores.
With that amount of youth, Kansas coach Bill Self will have the opportunity to put his coaching mark on the team.
Next year's Kansas team can start fresh.
Self is clearly excited. His energy comes across in his voice whenever he talks about it.
"We will be so young and green," Self said. "We won't know what we are doing. But we will be fast and athletic and that is fun to think about."
Self has proven that he can recruit. At Illinois he brought in a trio of guards who have led Illinois to the Final Four — Dee Brown, Luther Head and Deron Williams.
This year at Kansas he signed the 10th, 12th and 14th ranked players, according to Rivals.com, in Julian Wright, Mario Chalmers and Micah Downs.
Now Self can coach his team
He has thought a great deal about next year's team. He said they would lose some games. He said there would be ups and downs. He said it would be fun.
Losing the contributions of the four seniors will leave large deficits to fill in the frontcourt and the backcourt.
"Just thinking about it is exciting," Self said. "How do you replace 20 and 11, that will certainly be difficult. But we feel like we will be good players but we will just be very young."
Wayne Simien's 20 points and 11 rebounds per game is the most gaping of those deficits. But Aaron Miles' assists and ability to take care of the ball, Keith Langford's penetration and Mike Lee's leadership are all areas in the Jayhawks' game that will have to be filled by young guys.
When he is healthy, freshman C.J. Giles has the athleticism to put up big numbers on the boards. First he has to get some repetitions and become comfortable in the system.
Freshmen Russell Robinson and Chalmers will compete at the point guard position. Robinson has proven that he can dish the ball this year, but he has been prone to turnovers.
"Julian does a lot of everything because he does a lot of everything." Self said. "Micah can really shoot. And Mario is about as athletic a young guy as you're going to get."
Self said the incoming freshmen could add new elements to the Jayhawks' game that they didn't have this year.
"All the guys will be good players, but they have a chance to be great players." Self said of the current freshmen. "We have a chance to have one or two develop into all-league type performers. The guys coming in can develop into all-league type performers, and if that happens you find yourself with a pretty good team."
KANSAS 33
U.S. ar
Self knows there is potential for next year's team. But he knows the brand of basketball will be different and the faces will be new. He said the current freshmen must get stronger and more experienced.

Arkansas hidden treasures

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
My story was cut short
The creek was cold and still and a polluted green-blue. I stood on its bank and took a deep breath of the creek and my gray smoky sweatshirt. It was a cold, sunny morning, and it was spring break. It was the first full day in Arkansas.
"Why wouldn't you go to Arkansas?" I said.
"Why would you go to Arkansas?" she asked. It was Saturday and I was telling my friends about the dirty creek and Arkansas alligators.
We left in five cars from the Overland Park home of junior David Hover, the organizer of the trip, the morning after The Depressing and Horrible Loss. We had a large camping group of 17 people.
Why wouldn't you go to Arkansas? I said.
In a three-day trip, I saw the Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo, the home of the Possum Queen contest, mounds of quartz crystals and the nicest old lady you'd ever meet.
After seven hours on the road, we passed a sign off Highway 270: "Welcome to Mount Ida, quartz crystal capital of the world." Below that it said "Home of Possums Unlimited."
We set up camp in nearby Ouachita National Forest. The next day when we stopped for milkshakes at the old-fashioned Dairyette in town, I asked the girl behind the counter, "What the heck is Possums Unlimited?"
That night, eight of the guys packed up and left for Galveston, Texas, in search of beaches and babes. I guess some people aren't cut out for life in the wilderness.
She walked to the back of the Dairyette, came back and slapped down a magnet advertising the annual Montgomery County Possum Queen contest, sponsored by a group called Possums Unlimited. She looked at me and shrugged.
On the way back to camp we passed 16 rock shops. We stopped at one called Jay's Bonanza. Rocks for $2 a pound! They also had buckets of dirt set up next to a sifter where you could pan your own gold.
On the third day of the trip, the nine of us that didn't go to Texas drove to Hot Springs. After visiting Bath House Row and eating at Granny's Kitchen, we went to the Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo.
We ventured into the dimly lit alligator shed where there were 200 alligators crammed on top of each other in four pits that were each about 20 feet long. The sign above one of the pits said, "This size alligator best suited for the making of purses, billfolds and shoes."
The strangest part was that none of the alligators moved. I thought they were fake. Then the guy who worked there walked in and stepped right through the alligators, which hissed and crawled over each other to the other end of the pit.
"They're more scared of me than I am of them," he said.
We left a day early because of the rain. Taylor Lenon, Hiawatha junior, called his grandmother in Rogers, Ark., and asked if we could spend the night.
This was my favorite part. After driving through a storm for three hours, we arrived at her house. She was short and round with white hair and big glasses.
Last year some of us had camped in Arkansas and had stopped by her house on the way home. She had asked us to do some chores around the house and took us out for barbecue with her twin sister, who lives next door.
This time she had warm chocolate chip cookies waiting and enough beds and couches for all of us. She was wearing the same purple jump suit she had on when I saw her last year.
On the wall was a picture of her and her twin sister when they were three months old in their mother's arms in their childhood home, a hillbilly Arkansas shack. As we walked through the door she shook all our hands, "Hi, I'm Lydia Collins," she said.
When I woke up at 8:30 the next day she was cooking pancakes, sausage and biscuits for us. Nicest old lady you'd ever meet.
She waved goodbye as we walked out the door, and we drove off and said goodbye to her and to Arkansas. Until next year.

Golfers take second place after tournament rained out
It is difficult to play a round of golf in the pouring rain.
Santa Cruz, Calif., saw plenty of rain yesterday, leading to the cancelation of the final round of the 59th Western Intercollegiate. The Jayhawks finished the tournament in second place without the opportunity to make a run in the final round.
The team standings after the first two rounds of the tournament ended up being the final standings of the tournament, leaving no chance for any team to make a move on the first- and second-round leader.
"We were very disappointed that we were rained out today," coach Ross Randall said. "Second place is a very good finish here, but we would have liked to have the chance to take first in this event."
The Oregon Ducks took home the championship after shooting a two-round total of 582. Matt Ma led the way for Oregon with a total score of 141 and a tie for third in the tournament. The Jayhawks finished the tournament two strokes behind Oregon with a score of 584.
Senior Kevin Ward finished the tournament in a tie for third place with a two-round total of 141. Sophomore Gary Woodland finished in a tie for 16th with 146. Sophomore Tyler Docking shot a total score of 151, while junior Luke Trammell and junior Pete Krsnich both fired total scores of 152.
The men's golf team will next play on April 8, when the team travels to Holly Springs, N.C., to play in the Courtyard by Marriot Intercollegiate.
MLS works to copy world leagues

Salt Lake
2005
There's a funky new look to the Major League Soccer standings this year, at least to the sport's uninitiated. FC Dallas? Chivas USA? Real Salt Lake? What's that all about? Is there a Fake Salt Lake somewhere?
Douglas C. Pirae/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
—Tim Hall
Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber, right, and team owner Dave Checketts announce the creation of the MLS expansion team Real Salt Lake last year. MLS officials are hoping that changes made to help the American league resemble world leagues, such as having similar names, will help boost soccer fans' interest.
But, to soccer fans, it's a warm familiar look — another sign the adolescent league has stopped trying to Americanize the beautiful game and is more determined than ever to march in step with the rest of the world as it begins its 10th season Saturday.
"It's part of the strategy," commissioner Don Garber said. "These are soccer teams. And if they're trying to look like the type of club the soccer fan is used to seeing, then more than likely those teams aren't called 'the Clash.' That could be the name of a lacrosse team. That could be the name of a rock band — and was."
For that matter, 'Burn' was a baffling moniker to some. Now, the name Dallas Burn has been put to rest, replaced this season by FC Dallas, a timely change as team prepares to move into a new soccer-specific stadium in August.
FC stands for Football Club, a common prefix or suffix used by storied clubs such as FC Barcelona (Spain), FC Porto (Portugal) and seemingly half the teams in the Netherlands. Fulham FC of England will be the international opponent for the MLS All-Star game on July 30 at Columbus.
Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake are this year's expansion teams, welcome additions for a league that had to shut down franchises in Miami and Tampa Bay in 2002. MLS still operates very much in the red, but it is a 12-team league again.
Chivas USA will play at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., sharing the facility with the Los Angeles Galaxy and giving two MLS teams to
Chivas USA will help change the financial outlook by tapping further into the Mexican community in the United States. Chivas USA — full name Club Deportivo Chivas USA — is being launched as a sister club of CD Guadalajara, one of Mexico's most popular teams. Chivas, or Goats, is CD Guadalajara's nickname.
an area not represented in the NFL.
"Chivas USA is going to be from the start just like Chivas in Mexico," said Jorge Vergara, who owns both clubs, "a team of excellence and an open door for Spanish speakers."
That's the kind of talk Garber wants to hear. If Mexicans across the country flock to stadiums when Chivas USA is in town, the team's draw will be comparable to the impact made by 14-year-old Freddy Adu of D.C. United last season. United averaged 23,686 fans on the road last year, more than 6,000 better than any other team.
"There's a buzz happening in the Hispanic community about this team," Garber said, referring to Chivas. "They could be the Freddy Factor of 2005.
As for Real Salt Lake, the first word is pronounced RAY-al and means royal in Spanish, as any fan of
mega-popular Real Madrid would quickly attest.
The name has met with mixed results from fans who think it's a stretch for a startup team in Utah to associate itself with such a legendary club — and from others who mispronounce it without a clue as to its origin. Others see it as a classy name, although one that will be hard to live up to.
"We're trying to have these teams look, feel, taste, smell like a soccer team, just like the same soccer team that exists in a local market in other countries," Garber said. "Now that being said, you can't change the name and expect to have everything else work for you. You have to act that way, and we're working with our teams and had some success, though we need more success, in not just looking like a soccer team but behaving like one."
MLS has been evolving its game toward the world standard since 2000, when the league ditched the dreaded sudden-death shootout and the backward-running clock — two failed gimmicks that were supposed to attract the typical American sports fan and instead alienated soccer purists. MLS has since stopped trying to convert Joe NASCAR and concentrated more on nurturing its loyal supporters. Attendance has been steady in recent years; the average was 15,559 last season.
Meanwhile, the league continues to hinge its financial future on new, soccer-only stadiums that put teams in a position to break even — and perhaps turn a profit. It's worked in Columbus and Los Angeles, and Dallas this year will unveil the 20,000-seat Frisco Soccer and Entertainment Center, host of this year's MLS Cup.

Jury still unselected for Rams player's trial
CLAYTON, Mo. — The jury selection process will enter its third day today for St. Louis Rams defensive end Leonard Little, who was accused of drunken driving and speeding last year.
Prospective jurors were questioned individually Monday and yesterday in St. Louis County Circuit Court. They were asked if they could be impartial in the trial of the 30-year-old sports figure.
Judge Emmett O'Brien, prosecutors and defense attorneys must whittle down the jury from a pool of 80 people.
Little was arrested April 24 on Interstate 64 in the St. Louis suburb of Ladue and charged with speeding and driving while intoxicated. Police said he failed three field sobriety tests. No one was injured. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Little was charged as a persistent offender because he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in a 1998 drunken-driving accident in downtown St. Louis that killed
Susan Gutweiler of St. Louis County.
The Associated Press
Little served three months in jail, four years of probation and community service for the earlier crime. He was also suspended without pay for the first half of the 1994 season.

Mizzou player to undergo knee surgery
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri wide receiver William Franklin is scheduled to undergo surgery tomorrow to repair torn cartilage in his knee.
Franklin, a sophomore, is expected to miss a week of spring practice. He was injured March 17.
An MRI showed no structural damage to the knee, coach Gary Pinkel said yesterday.
Franklin, a likely starter at wide receiver this fall, is the second offensive starter to miss time because of a knee injury. Tailback Marcus Woods sprained a ligament in his left knee March 15 but did not require surgery.
174 yards and one touchdown last season. His 29 yards per catch average led the team.

Pro Bowl long-snapper signs one-year contract
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs yesterday signed tight end and long snapper Kendall Gammon to a one-year contract.
Terms of Gammon's contract were not released.
In 13 seasons, Gammon has become one of the league's best long-snappers and was selected to last year's Pro Bowl in that position. He has played in 208 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the league for non-kickers.
Gammon, 6-foot-4, 255 pounds, has spent five seasons with the Chiefs after spending four seasons with both Pittsburgh and New Orleans. The Steelers chose him in the 11th round in the 1992 draft, after he spent his collegiate career at Pittsburg State.

Former Boston pitcher returns to team
ST.LOUIS The St. Louis Cardinals traded left-handed reliever Mike Myers to the Boston Red Sox yesterday.
The Cardinals and Red Sox were still discussing what St. Louis would get in return, Cardinals spokesman Brian Bartow said.
Myers, 35, was competing for a spot in the bullpen, along with fellow left-handers Bill Pulsipher and Randy Flores. Ray King is expected to be the team's setup left-handed reliever since Steve Kline was not re-signed. The Cardinals have not said whether they'll keep three left-handers in the bullpen or just two.
Myers returns to the Red Sox after failing to re-sign with the team following the 2004 season.
Boston obtained Myers in an August trade with Seattle. He was 1-0 with a 1.47 ERA in 25 appearances for the Red Sox, and 5-1 with a 4.64 ERA overall. He appeared in six post-season games.

Appier wants retirement over minors
KC
Kansas City Royals pitcher Kevin Appier throws against the Seattle Mariners during spring training in Surprise, Ariz. Appier said yesterday that he wouldn't accept a minor league assignment with the Royals and would retire unless another team picked him up. Appier, the Royals' all-time strikeout leader, pitched five shutout innings Monday in a Royals' minor league game.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Faced with an assignment to Triple-A, Kansas City Royals pitcher Kevin Appier said yesterday he will retire unless another team calls with an offer to pitch in the big leagues, a prospect he concedes is unlikely.
"It's not like I wasn't prepared for this to happen," Appier said. "I have not been pitching in the big leagues for a while, unfortunately. I gave it a long, long chance to come back to get back in the big leagues and it hasn't worked out."
Appier, a 37-year-old right-hander, is the Royals' career strikeout leader and would end his 15-year career in the majors with a record of 169-137 and a 3.74 ERA. A first-round pick of the Royals in 1987, Appier spent most of his career with the Royals. He was traded to Oakland in 1999 and pitched with the New York Mets and Anaheim Angels.
"He's one of the best pitchers in

best pitchers in Royals history."
Royals history," said George Brett. Kapsas City's, only Euler.
With the Royals in 1993, Appier went 18-8 with an American League-leading 2.56 ERA. He was selected to the 1995 AL All-Star team, pitched in the 2000 playoffs with the Athletics and was a member of the 2002 Angels club that won the World Series.
"I got a (World Series) ring," Appier said. "That whole season was a highlight. With the Athletics, making the playoffs was cool, but it got cut short. Just the whole postseasons were a highlight."
He returned to the Royals in
2003 after the Angels released him, but underwent surgery that September to repair a flexor tendon tear in his right elbow. He attempted to come back last season, but was 0-1 in two starts before returning to the disabled list on April 24 for the remainder of the season.
He was 0-1 with an 8.71 ERA in five spring outings, giving up 12 hits in 10 1/3 innings with seven walks and nine strikeouts. On Monday, Appier threw five shutout innings, allowing three hits, in a minor league game.
"I did really good results wise, but it wasn't impressive," Appier said. "It's not high enough potential to warrant going to the minors and the uncertainty."
Appier said if another club calls in the next couple of days with a major league job, he would change his mind, but admitted that wasn't likely.
"I could pitch in the big leagues with this stuff, but it's not worth it to go down and hope somebody would want me," Appier said.

Scandal doesn't diminish value of mementos
BY BETSY TAYLOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — When a grounds crew worker at Busch Stadium caught Mark McGwire's home run ball in the magical 1998 season — the 62nd homer that broke Roger Maris' record — he immediately turned it over to Big Mac and didn't make a dime for it.
When a Washington University employee dove for McGwire's last home run that season — No. 70 — he auctioned it off for about $3 million.
Both men say they have no regrets about those drastically different decisions, even as the retired slugger is enmeshed in baseball's steroids controversy after refusing to directly answer many questions during his congressional testimony earlier this month.
"I said it that night, but I'd rather have a million experiences than a million dollars," said Tim Forneris, now 28, still a member of the grounds crew at Busch Stadium and also a full-time lawyer — a state public defender.
Forneris was peering out from above the left-field wall with others on the grounds crew on Sept. 8, 1998, when McGwire hit what would be his shortest homer of the year — a smash right down the line that cleared the fence but didn't reach the stands — landing instead in the bowels of the stadium. Forneris quickly tracked it down.
At a postgame ceremony,
Forneris presented McGwire
with the ball. "Mr. McGwire, I
think I have something that
belongs to you," he said.
BASEBALL
Philip Ozersky, now 32,
snagged home run ball 70 when
it flew into the box where he
was watching the game with coworkers. Unlike Forneris, he decided to keep it.
For that act, Forneris received letters from throughout the world — some were simply addressed, "Tim, Busch Stadium." And his act of kindness was not unrewarded.
Ozersky received about $2.7 million after auctioning it off in
He made television appearances, received a donated minivan from Chrysler, went to Disney World and was asked by a woman coordinating his visit if he wanted to meet the president. "I thought she meant Michael Eisner. She said, 'No, President Clinton.'"

Grounds crew member
at Busch Stadium
"I said it that night, I'd rather have a million experiences than a million dollars."
1999. He bought three homes, two of which his parents use. He said he had donated about a quarter-million dollars to two cancer-fighting charities and the Cardinals' community foundation.
"I obviously profited by it, but it not only affected my life, it affected a lot of people in positive ways," said Ozersky, who was then and is now a research programmer for the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University.
The steroids issue aside, both Forneris and Ozersky said there was something electric about the home-run chase between Sammy Sosa and McGwire, and they remained appreciative.
They hoped to see history at those games, but it was something else "to see it fall in my hands," Ozersky said.
Forneris said a cloud of suspicion remained over baseball and over McGwire since the congressional hearings. But he recalled speaking with McGwire at the ballpark and through e-mail and called him a great guy.
Forneris said he was trying to separate the steroids debate from the unbelievable experience he had. "I think I almost have to put it in its own little time capsule," he said.
McGwire donated the ball Formeris caught to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., and Forneris believes that's the right place for it.
As for whether McGwire belongs in the Hall if he took steroids, Forneris would say only, "I don't have a vote."
Ozersky said he was having a hard time sorting out the truth since the steroids scandal erupted.
"I think this era will be remembered as the steroids era," he said.
Ozersky met McGwire briefly, at a charity auction when the player signed a caricature of himself for Ozersky: "To Philip, Great Catch. Mark McGwire 70."
Ozersky feels lucky that "the
perfect confluence of events allowed the baseball to bring such a fortune.
There was no such luck for Todd McFarlane, the comic book icon who bought Ozersky's ball. He estimated he'd spent about $4 million on his baseball collection, which includes 10 home runs balls from the McGwire-Sosa 1998 race. But McFarlane remains pleased with his acquisitions, which he has displayed frequently.
McFarlane said he had no plans to sell his collection and didn't get caught up in its current monetary value, which already had taken a dive when Barry Bonds hit 73 homers in 2001 to break McGwire's record.
McFarlane owns Bonds' No. 73 ball as well, which he bought for $450,000.
McFarlane said the only regret he felt was that some fans wouldn't be able to look at footage from the 1998 season without "a little tick in the backs of their minds." He said, "We won't be able to look at it with the same innocence."
He also wondered why McGwire said he had not used steroids prior to the hearings, but then refused to answer the question in Washington.
Royals send three to minor leagues
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Ken Harvey, the Kansas City Royals' lone selection to the 2004 All-Star game, was among three players optioned yesterday to Triple-A Omaha.
Harvey led the AL in batting early last season and was hitting .350 on June 23, but hit only .219 after that to finish the year at .287.
He hit .238 in 17 spring training games and struck out 10 times in 42 at-bats.
Instead, the Royals will keep left-handed rookie Calvin Pickering, who hit 35 homers at Omaha and seven in 122 big-league at-bats.
"Harvey has been swinging at a lot of bad pitches," manager Tony Pena said. "Harvey has not been swinging the bat well. He had a very tough time the second half of last season, and we see the same thing in spring training."
Pena also said that two rookies, third baseman Mark Teahen and second baseman Ruben Gotay, would start the season opener April 4 at Detroit.
The Royals also optioned left-hander Jimmy Gobble, who was 9-8 with a 5.35 ERA last season, and right-hander Kyle Snyder, a 1999 first-round pick who spent last season on the disabled list after shoulder surgery, to Omaha.
Pena said Snyder, who has been a starter in the minors, will be used out of the bullpen in Omaha. He was 1-0 with a 1.32 ERA in eight relief appearances.
With Gobble and Snyder going back to the minors, the Royals will keep rookie right-hander Denny Bautista as the fifth starter and right-hander Mike Wood as a long reliever.
The Royals also assigned outfielder Aaron Guiel, right-handed pitcher Kevin Appier and infielder Chris Clapinski to the minor league camp. All were non-roster invites, although Guiel was the team's opening day left fielder in 2004.
Appier said he would retire rather than go to Omaha if he did not land a big-league job in the next couple of days.
Clapanski hurt his elbow and will need surgery; he will miss the season.
Pena said Emil Brown, who was hitting .409 with four home runs and 16 RBIs in 22 games going into yesterday's game, would make the club as an extra outfielder.

Trout
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"It's apples and oranges. They have more fish per mile out there. That means we have to work a little harder, know the fish a little better to know what they're looking for," he said.
Sloss also said there weren't as many miles of trout water in Missouri as there are in the West, which means fishermen rely on spring-fed rivers and tail-waters, which are rivers fed by dams.
In the blue ribbon section — the best trout run on the river — of Eleven Point there are approximately 700 to 1,000 trout per mile, nearly all of which are rainbow trout. The rest are brown trout.
Sloss said people traveled to Eleven Point and took guided fishing trips from him from as far away as New Zealand.
STANFORD
5
He charges $250 for up to two people, which includes lunch on the river, fly-fishing instruction and your limit of fish.
On a recent day he took a fisherman out who was just beginning to fly-fish and caught between 15 and 20 rainbow trout, he said.
Josh Regan, Fort Scott junior, traveled to Eleven Point River during spring break to camp and fly fish. Regan began fishing in Yellowstone, Colo., and Oregon, but said he enjoyed the fishing at Eleven Point.

"Fishing in the West is characterized by big mountains, big rivers and big fish. Fishing the foothills of Missouri, it's smaller all the way around, but it's still beautiful in its own right," he said.
Regan limited out on Eleven Point, catching four rainbow trout above the 15-inch minimum. He ate them on the river.

Spartan women earn Final Four bid
BY CHUCK SCHOFFENER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Make some room, Michigan State men. You've got company.
Liz Shimek and the Michigan State women also are going to the Final Four — a first for the program.
Shimek made a series of huge plays down the stretch. Lindsay Bowen made her only basket of the game at a critical time and the top-seeded Spartans beat No. 2 seed Stanford 76-69 in the Kansas City Regional last night.
Michigan State (32-3) had never even made it past the second round in five previous NCAA Tournament appearances, but the Spartans looked completely comfortable when they donned their championship caps, delighting a small but vocal band of supporters that included Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and her two teenage daughters.
"Well, I tell you, Michigan State is the best," coach Joanne P. McCallie said. "The people are amazing, the homegrown talent is very special. And we're so proud of our men's team — we're going too, baby! We're going too! I can't wait!"
The Spartans will play in the national semifinals in Indianapolis on Sunday night, meeting Tennessee. The men will play North Carolina in St. Louis on Saturday.
Michigan State becomes the sixth school to send teams to both the men's and women's Final Four. Connecticut did it just last year and each team won the national title, the only time that has happened.
Now, Michigan State has a chance for the double. But booking that trip wasn't easy, even after the Spartans took a 13-point lead against the team that was ranked No. 1 in the final Associated Press poll. Stanford (32-3) came back to tie the score three times, but never got the lead and its 23-game winning streak ended, denying the Cardinal a seventh Final four trip.
The Final Four trip continues the Spartans' steady progress under McCallie, who arrived from Maine in 2000 with a goal of putting Michigan State on the national map.
The Spartans have set a school record for victories — nine more than the old mark — and they'll take a school-record 16-game winning streak to Indianapolis.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Tennessee moves on to Final Four
PHILADELPHIA — Tennessee already gave coach Pat Summitt the record for career wins in this tournament. Last night, the Lady Vols gave her something even more meaningful — a trip to the Final Four.
Shanna Zolman broke out of a slump with a couple of big baskets down the stretch, Nicky Anosike scored 14 points and the top-seeded Lady Vols beat
No. 3 seed Rutgers 59-49 in the Philadelphia Regional final.
Tennessee will play Michigan State (32-3) in the national semifinals in Indianapolis on Sunday night. The top-seeded Spartans beat Stanford 76-69 in the Kansas City Regional final last night.
The Lady Vols (30-4) are in the Final Four for the fourth straight year, fifth time this decade and 16th time overall, all under Summitt. She extended her NCAA record with her 882nd career win.
For the first time in the tournament, Tennessee's win didn't come easy.
Cappie Pondexter scored 25 points and made nine of the Scarlet Knights' '18 baskets, but she had little help until it was too late. The Scarlet Knights' physical defense kept them in it until the end.
Rutgers seemed poised to pull within three on Matee Ajavon's shot from the left side, until it was reviewed by officials who determined it was a two-point basket. That made it 49-45. Then Essence Carson had a steal for Rutgers and was
fouled by Loree Moore.
Carson calmly sank the free throws — her first two points of the game — pulling Rutgers to 49-47 with 1:08 left.
Tennessee, though, sank its last 12 free throws and that was just the cushion the Lady Vols needed to win their 12th straight game.
The Lady Vols went more than 12 minutes without a basket bridging the first and second half. They were rushed into bad shots, missed a couple of easy attempts under the basket and committed seven turnovers in the first 8 minutes of the second half.
nutgers used a 9-0 run and grabbed the lead for the first time since scoring the first two baskets of the game. The lead was short lived.
The Lady Vols went ahead on a couple of free throws and Zolman's fast-break layup pushed the lead to 43-39.
Tennessee reached its 15th 30-wins season and first since 1997-98 - the last of its three straight national championships.

Regents bill hits a snag
Interest from student tuition and fees could fall under control of six Kansas schools
BY DANI LITT
dlltit@kansan.com
KANSAN WORK WRITE
A bill that would allow the University of Kansas to gain control of interest earnings on student tuition and fees has stalled in two legislative committees.
If the bill were approved, about $1.8 million would be split among the six regent schools.
The Board of Regents proposed the bill in the House Appropriations and the Senate Ways and Means Committees.
"There has not been much progress because the legislation has been hit with other budgetary issues like appropriating funding for K through 12," said Katie Wolff, student senate legislative director.
Wolff said this was the first year the Board of Regents had made action to change the ownership of interest earnings.
Several committees need to approve the bill and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius needs to sign it before it can be put into effect.
Steve Munch, student body president, said he would like to
see the bill pass, but he understood the holdup.

The University and the other five Board of Regents universities are the only higher education institutions in Kansas that do not keep interest money generated from student tuition and fees.

Since 1995 the Multicultural Resource Center has operated out of a building commonly known as "The Shack." The deteriorating white building gets lost between Summerfield Hall and the Military Science Building, leading some to remark that it reflects poorly on the University's objective to create a more diverse campus.

weather prevented the ceremony from taking place outside, supporters filled the Malott Room on the sixth floor of the Union.
Provost David Shulenburger said the location for the new center was appropriate.
"The Union is the heart of the University," he said.
"It's not to celebrate the building," said Jonathan Ng, first-year law student from Leawood. "It's to recognize the MRC's vision."
The ceremony was used as a way to recognize the dedication put in by faculty and staff. But the students involved in the creation of the new MRC received special recognition.
Ng was student body president in 2002 and 2003 and helped approve the referendum to fund the new building without raising student fees.
Constructing the new MRC will cost about $2.5 million. Construction is being financed through donations.
Provost David Shulenburger delivers a speech with Santos Nunez, program director for the Multicultural Resource Center, yesterday afternoon in the Kansas Union at the dedication of the new Multicultural Resource Center. They spoke at the dedication about securing the center's new location.
Catherine Bell supported the referendum while she was a student senator at the University. Now Bell, a Coffeyville first-year law student, is helping the building come together as a member of the building committee.
Santos Nunez has wanted since she became the director in 2000.
She fought back tears as she began the "calling the circle" ceremony. Creating a circle were members of the Black Student Union, Asian Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, First Nations Student Association and Student Senate. The students held objects symbolizing earth, wind, water and fire.
"We have the resources, we have the knowledge and we have the goals," she said. "Now we need the new structure to increase student involvement."
Some features to be included in the new MRC include a bigger lounge area, two general purpose rooms, a kitchen and a large multipurpose room that will face the Spencer Art Museum and Memorial Stadium.
Nunez told about the creation and history of the MRC during the ceremony and officially dedicated the site by saying, "Now the MRC will begin again."
The official ground-breaking will take place this fall.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in September 2006.

Though the Center for Bioinformatics is still awaiting a permanent home and faculty, Ilya Vakser, director of the center, said developments were going smoothly.
A new research center integrating life sciences and computer science at the University of Kansas is getting closer to reality.
"We want the center to be an international hub for this field," Vakser said.

ces is an area of research that uses biological data to create computer-modeled experiments.
There are theoretical and practical applications for bioinformatics, Vakser said. Researchers use experiments to learn more about processes at the molecular level while pharmaceutical companies use the data to develop better drugs and treatments.
Having a bioinformatics program is crucial to the University's goal of being a top-25 research institution, Rob Weaver, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, said.
"This is a field that has blossomed in the last few years and it is absolutely necessary if the University wants to be a leader in the biosciences," he said.
Finding top faculty has been easier than expected. Weaver said.
A graduate program in bioinformatics will be offered beginning in Fall 2006. While no students have expressed formal interest in the program, Weaver doesn't think it will be hard attracting students.
At the moment, Vakser is the only faculty member for the center. More are expected to be hired within the next few months.
"Knowing how hot this area is, I can't imagine there being any problems." he said.
The center will move to the Multidisciplinary Research Building on West Campus before Jan. 1. The facility will be completed this fall. The pur-

Study shows Hispanics have lower cancer risk
HEALTH
Hispanics who live in close proximity may be healthier
By FRANK TANKARD

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Maybe Michael Lopez should move. Because Lopez, a Mexican American Kansas City, Kan., junior, lives in a lower-middle-income neighborhood with a small Hispanic population, he may have a greater chance of contracting certain types of cancer than he would if he lived in a low-income, densely Hispanic community, according to a recent study.
Jonathan D. Mahnken, an assistant professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center and one of the study's three authors, said by e-mail that the study was part of a cluster of research that has been done on what has been called the "Hispanic paradox."
Maybe Michael Lopez should move.
The term "Hispanic paradox" was possibly coined in the mid-1980s when a study found that Hispanics in the Southwest had lower rates of various chronic illnesses than non-Hispanic whites, despite a relative disadvantage in income and health care coverage, according to author Paul McFedries' Web site. www.worldspv.com.
Since then, researchers have discovered cancer rates to be 33 percent lower in Hispanics than in non-Hispanic whites and cancer mortality rates to be 38 percent lower, according to Mahnken's study.
Mahnken said the purpose of the study was to find whether these rates decreased among Hispanics who had assimilated into mainstream culture, living in middle-class neighborhoods with a Hispanic population of less than 20 percent.
Mahnken began working on the study after the National Institutes of Health gave a grant to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 2003 to research the "Hispanic paradox."
---
Mahnken listed variants in diet, tobacco use, exercise, alcohol intake, exposure to pollutants and stress as possible disparities between Hispanics living in non-Hispanic communities and those living in Hispanic communities.
increasing in Latinos as the percentage of Hispanics living in their neighborhood decreased.
They looked at five common types of cancer: lung cancer, colorectal cancer, female breast cancer, prostate cancer and cervical cancer. Mahken said they found a general decrease in the number of Latinos with cancer in Hispanic neighborhoods compared with non-Hispanic neighborhoods.
"Unfortunately, our data did not have these measures," Mahnken said. "But we feel that our results point toward the need for future studies."
But the results varied significantly among the five types of cancer. Cervical cancer rates actually increased in Hispanic neighborhoods. Prostate cancer incidences in Latinos were about the same regardless of neighborhood. The three other types of cancer showed a general trend of
In essence, this study shows that lower cancer rates among Hispanics dissipate with economic and ethnic assimilation into mainstream society.
The researchers compared data of cancer cases with U.S. Census Bureau data to determine how various cancer rates fluctuated between Hispanics from predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods (which roughly corresponded to lower incomes) to Hispanics from predominantly non-Hispanic neighborhoods (which roughly corresponded to middle and higher incomes).
Victor Aguilar, president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, was also surprised by the results of the study at first, but said the results could probably be attributed to the type of food people eat.
Karl Eschbach, associate professor, and James S. Goodwin, professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch, the other authors, came up with the idea for the study and asked Mahnken, who was a research associate at the school, to be the statistician. When Mahnken came to the Med center last year, he continued his work until the study was published this year.
"I was expecting it to be much higher in highly Hispanic communities, because they probably have less resources," he said.
Michael Lopez said he was surprised by the results of the study.
"I guess you could say my family was lower-income," said Aguilar, a Mexican-American Dodge City sophomore. "My mom made everything herself. That's something you don't see among the middle and higher class. They have the money to go out to fast food restaurants every day. As we know, fast food isn't the healthiest thing in the world."

GEOLOGY
Kansas could tremble in future
A fault in Pottawattamie might produce a low-magnitude earthquake
BY JONATHAN KEALING
correspondent@hansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Kansas may not be the first place that most think of when considering where an earthquake is likely to happen, but according to recent research, maybe it should be.
Associate Scientist of the Kansas geological survey Gregory Olmacher recently published an article in the journal Tectonophysics on the prevalence of and potential for earthquake activity on a portion of the Humboldt Fault Zone in Pottawattamie County, Kansas.
Pottawattamie County is northeast of Manhattan.
"It turned out that it is possible that there could be an earthquake," Ohlmacher said. "What this research can't tell us is the magnitude of such an earthquake."
Ohlmacher then went out into the field, confirmed his initial finding and mapped several other faults in the area. He intended to determine how old the fault was, when it was created and whether or not it could be reactivated, he said.
"I started looking at some aerial photography of the area, and I found a fault on the aerial photography," Ohlmacher said. "I wasn't expecting to find that. It's very difficult to find faults around here."
After gathering the information, Ohlmacher fed the data into a computer and determined how much of what kind of force was needed to make the fault move. Armed with this data, Ohlmacher was ready to compare what he had discovered with what was already known.
Ohlmacher quickly added that the likelihood of a serious earthquake was extremely low, but that something in the range of a magnitude 2 to magnitude 3 earthquake would be fairly easy to conceive of.
To compare, the two recent earthquakes that have struck Indonesia were about a magnitude 9. Each increase in magnitude indicates a tenfold increase in earthquake power.
Such an earthquake, if centered around the area where Ohlmacher researched, would probably be felt across the area of Pottawattamie county. Even if the earthquake were on the magnitude of one that struck Kansas in the late 19th century, about a magnitude 5.5, it would be felt across an area from about Salina to Kansas City. Ohlmacher said.
"The faults are aligned properly that we will see earthquakes. And we do see earthquakes in Kansas." Ohlmacher said.
The area that Ohlmacher researched composes only a small portion of the vast Humboldt Fault Zone. Stretching from southern Nebraska to northern Oklahoma, Humboldt is responsible for producing earthquakes of a magnitude 1 to magnitude 3 on a regular basis. Little of this is ever felt anywhere but directly over the fault, however there is concern that a bigger earthquake could occur.
A study of dam strength in areas near the Humboldt Fault was undertaken by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in July 2002. In it, the Army Corps established two levels of projected earthquake activity. The first, lower, level is the maximum
likely intensity, while the second higher, level is the maximum possible intensity.
While Ohlmacher's research was unable to provide a projection for the intensity of an earthquake in the area of study, according to the Army Corps report, a standard earthquake would be a magnitude 4.9 earthquake.
The Army Corps set 6.6 as the maximum foreseeable strength of an earthquake in the Humboldt area.
Don Steeples, vice provost and distinguished professor of geology, said that data indicated that an earthquake on the order of magnitude 5 to magnitude 5.5 would only occur about once every 100 to 200 years.
"It is possible that a magnitude 6 to 6.5 could occur on a long-term average of about every 2,000 to 3,000 years." Steeples said.
"The 6 to 6.5 events are so infrequent that only designers of major structures like large dams and nuclear power plants need to worry about them," Steeples said.
Because the magnitude of earthquakes in Kansas is relatively low, this new information probably won't change many of the procedures that builders and homeowners follow when constructing and refurbishing structures.
While major earthquakes could occur, even their damage would be limited and only cause significant damage to delicate structures, Steeples said.

TOPEKA — A state board is not yet ready to approve new regulations covering certain surgeries that abortion opponents feared would give Gov. Kathleen Sebelius political cover to veto a bill strengthening regulation of abortion clinics.

The House was expected to decide yesterday whether to send the abortion bill to Sebelius. The measure won Senate approval last week.

Three KU juniors were awarded the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship this week, according to a University Relations media release.
Shawn Henderson, David Hover and Hannah Swift were awarded a $7,500 scholarship to cover tuition, fees, books and room and board.
The Goldwater Scholarship is the primary scholarship in the country for science, engineering and math undergraduate students, said Lorez Lorenz, assistant director of the KU Honors Program.
"It's a very nice thing and we're all very thrilled," Lorenz said.
"Especially the physics department."
All three students are majoring in physics.
Ten students from Kansas were
named Goldwater scholars for 2005-2006 and were among more than 1,000 students who competed for the scholarship nationwide.
A University committee selected the three students to compete for the scholarship, Lorenz said.

Police arrest man suspected of assault
The KU Public Safety Office arrested a 22-year-old male on suspicion of aggravated assault, battery and possession of stolen property Tuesday night.
The man was involved in a fight at Jayhawker Towers with an acquaintance, a 19-year-old KU student at her residence in the towers, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office.
Bailey said he didn't know why the two were fighting.
The woman was not injured during the incident.
The KU Public Safety Office arrested the man at Budig Hall on Tuesday night.
The man was also in possession of a stolen car that the KU Public Safety Office later recovered at Jayhawker Towers, 1603 W. 15th Street, Bailey said.
He was booked into Douglas County Jail at 12:17 a.m. yesterday morning.

Theatre and Film still accepting submissions
The theatre and film department is still accepting student film submissions for "A Conversation with Mandy Patinkin."
Submissions must include Patinkin's famous line, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die," from the 1987 film, *The Princess Bride*.
"We're trying to have them come up with their own versions of that line." Matt Jacobson, assistant professor of theatre and film, said.
The film is meant to be a tribute to Patinkin, Jacobson said.
"I want to see a bunch of different ways of interpreting that line," Jacobson said.
The performance cannot be longer than two minutes and all actors and camera people must be currently enrolled University students.
Submissions can be in VHS, MiniDV, DVD and Hi8. Mpeg5 and films with visible timestamps will be rejected.
The winning submission will be played during "A Conversation with Mandy Pattinkin", 8 p.m., April 9.
Submissions need to be turned in by 4 p.m. Friday at 356 Murphy Hall.

CORRECTIONS
Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained several errors:
In the article, "A bashing good tin e," the Heard on the Hill section contained a quote by Heather Shinogle, Olathe senior. The photo next to the quote was not Shinogle. The photo was of Tamara Onken, Lawrence freshman. Also, the section contained a quote by Nick Yaghmur, Schaumburg, Ill. junior. The photo next to the quote was not Yaghmur. The photo was of Brandon Heinz, Lakewood, Colo. junior.
In the article, "Widower lobbies for safer standards," said Matt Zenner traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this year to lobby for safety changes. Zenner traveled to Topeka to lobby for changes in front of the Kansas legislature. He is planning a trip to Washington, D.C., but the date has not been set.
In the article, "Widower lobbies for safer dards," the article stated that each time Matt Zenner, widower of Teri Zenner, "walks into the Johnson County District courtroom and sees the man who murdered his wife, a minor at the time of the murder, he relives the painful memories of the afternoon of her death." The article also stated "Zenner has been counting down the days until the jury decides the killer's sentence."
These two statements go against Kansan policy, which states, "In keeping with the constitutional guarantee of the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven, care should be taken not to convict the accused." The two statements implied that the man accused of killing Teri Zenner was guilty of the crime, and should not have been printed.
♦ A 28-year-old KU student reported to Lawrence police that a radio, CD case and 25 CDs were stolen from his car between 4 p.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday from the 2400 block of W. 25th Street. The total value of the stolen items was $135.

WICHITA — Police are praising a mother who called police Tuesday night after her 9-year-old son told her about plans to swap an Microsoft X-Box video game console for a handgun. Police said she thwarted a potential tragedy.

Police spokeswoman Janet Johnson said after the woman called about 10:30 p.m., officers went to the home of the second 9-year-old boy and found a loaded handgun in his backpack. The boys apparently planned to make the trade at school on yesterday.
"This was a case of good communication between a child and his parents," Johnson said. "The mother cared enough to call, and what could have been a tragic situation was avoided."
The grandfather of the boy with the gun was cited for improper storage of a handgun, Johnson said. He was the boy's legal guardian, she said.
Older workers gain easier bias claims
WASHINGTON —The Supreme Court expanded job protections for roughly half the nation's work force yesterday, ruling that federal law allows people 40 and over to file age bias claims over salary and hiring even if employers never intended any harm.

The decision eased the legal threshold for about 75 million middle-aged and older people to contend in court that a policy had a disproportionately hurtful effect on them.
On the other hand, the ruling makes clear employers still will prevail if they can cite a reasonable explanation for their policies, such as cost-cutting.

Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever said he feared immigrant smugglers might open fire on the volunteers.
The project's organizers gave assurances the volunteers would be closely monitored. "If it gets to a situation where someone's life is in danger," said David Helppler, Minuteman security coordinator, "I will end the project."
Critics contend the project may attract anti-immigrant racists and vigilantes looking to confront illegal immigrants. At least one white supremacist group has mentioned the project on its Web site.

Jim Gilchrist, a retired volunteer from Aliso Viejo. Calif., who organized the project, said that some volunteers would carry handguns, which are allowed under Arizona law, but are being instructed to avoid confrontation, even if shot at.

Citizens pack border to catch illegal aliens
Still, law enforcement officials and human rights advocates are worried about the potential for bloodshed.
Organizers of the Minuteman Project said the civilian volunteers, many of whom were recruited over the Internet, would meet first for a rally in this one-time silver mining town, then fan out across 23 miles of the San Pedro Valley to watch the border for a month and report sightings of illegal activity to Border Patrol agents.
Project organizers said they expected 800 to 1,000 volunteers. How many might actually show is unclear; similar efforts in the past few years flopped. One of them drew only about a half-dozen people.
Minuteman field operations director Chris Simcox described the project as "the nation's largest neighborhood watch group" and said one of the goals was to make the public aware of how porous the border was.

Curtain-call for Iraq war gets poor reviews for Bush
America's war in Iraq is now more than two years old.
STEPHEN SHUPE
sshupe@kansan.com
D. P. Srivastava
It's been a series of deceptions from the start. The deceit most bandied about these days is that we're bringing freedom and democracy to Iraqis. It's important to understand why that's not true, both for our sake and for theirs.
Any discussion of Iraq must begin with Saddam Hussein. In the 1980s, the Butcher of Baghdad was at war with Iran. The United States, his most powerful ally at the time, sent him samples of anthrax and bubonic plague, as well as American helicopters equipped with powerful bombs. Overseeing these shipments was Donald Rumsfeld, then the secretary of defense for President Reagan. In the private sector, Rumsfeld had invested in pharmaceutical and technological companies, both from which he stood to gain directly from the sales of bombs and biological agents to Saddam.
This is Act 1. Think of Iraq as a movie, with a shadowy cast of war profiteers as the stars. Cut to 1992; America's boy in Baghdad has gotten too big for his britches and has been removed from Kuwait. Paul Wolfowitz, then the U.S. ambassador to Jakarta, oversees the formation of a secret Pentagon policy directive, which states that America must engage in unilateral military actions to ensure "access to vital raw materials, primarily Persian Gulf oil."
I know, nobody likes the "o" word. Instead of oil, think of money. Paul Wolfowitz certainly did: He sat on the board of directors for Northrop Grumman, an incredibly lucrative war contractor.
The entire cast was assembled after the election of President Bush. There was Dick Cheney — former president of Halliburton — as vice president, and Rumsfeld — consultant for Betchel — again as secretary of defense. Both of these companies were among the list of biggest war profiteers of 2004. There was Wolfowitz — now the president of the World Bank — and Richard Perle, Bush's Pentagon chairman until 2003. Perly worked for the defense contractor Trieme.
After Sept. 17, the Project for the New American Century made the case for "American world leadership." This organization represents America's neo-conservatives, who believe in global free markets.
So this is the real genesis of the war in Iraq: War profiteers and nationalists coming together to expand markets. From this, the administration's ideals of fighting terror and spreading
freedom must be viewed as a smoke screen.
But what if the war actually did bring democracy to Iraq? What if the goal of privatizing Iraq's economy in the interest of corporate America failed?
First, consider that more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed since the invasion, according to the British medical journal The Lancet, and coalition forces have killed far more Iraqis than the insurgents. Suppose you're a guy and you commit date rape. The girl gets pregnant and she raises a wonderful child. Would we attribute this success story to you, the rapist? Such is the logic of the war bringing democracy to Iraq.
Secondly, the administration will never let go of its plans for privatization. It has proven this time and again for two years now.
If democracy ever comes to Iraq, it will be a great success story for Iraqis, and a great failure for the administration. Unfortunately our president, with his hardest of hearts and greediest of intentions, still stands in the way. Naomi Klein reported in The Nation that Iraqis overwhelmingly voted on the Jan. 30 ballot to end the occupation yet. Bush insists we shouldn't set an "artificial timetable."
Up until January 2004, the administration opposed the kind of one-person, one-vote elections we saw in Iraq two months ago. Iraq's constitution was originally supposed to be written by an American-backed group of Iraqi exiles. Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, one of the real heroes of this story, denounced the plan and demanded free elections. By the beginning of 2004, the administration had no choice: Sistani had mobilized hundreds of thousands of protesters on the streets of Basra and Baghdad. The jig was up.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Coulter's, and audience's, shenanigans equally embarrassing to University
When liberal hecklers loudly refuted her comments, she admonished that "the sexual orientation classes are down the hall."
I attended the Vickers Memorial lecture featuring Ann Coulter knowing I was going to disagree with most of her comments because I am a liberal, but without the intention of feeling shocked and disgraced with her blatant disrespect for many in the University community.
Although I do not agree with the hecklers challenging her discourse, I was taken aback that she would resort to slurs about someone's sexual preference to respond to an opposing view. In her regular lecture text, she made irreverent comments about minorities including "brown man."
Kelly Vincent Olathe freshman Chemical engineering
Coulter misses point of own lecture by opting for insults and zealotry
By the time the question and answer session began, the majority of people with opposing viewpoints had been "escorted" from the room, clearly diminishing the possibility of freedom of expression. I support the Vickers family's goal of providing an open forum "to debate or discuss subjects vital to maintaining a free political and market economy," so I was appalled that they should select — and the University allow — someone with such little respect for diversity, in sexual orientation, race, gender and thought.
Even more disturbing than her speech was the audience's reaction: Through cheers they encouraged Ms. Coulter to continue her insensitive attacks on "liberal" audience members. As a woman who advocates freedom of speech, I also found it unpardonable that Ms. Coulter urged several College Republicans to quiet or remove those who were challenging her.
The purpose of the Vickers Memorial Lecture Series is to debate or discuss subjects vital to maintaining a free political and market economy. And through all of the mocking, denigration, belittlement and constant combativeness of Ann Coulter's comments and remarks, lost sight of that purpose. In fact, the talk was anything but a debate about free markets and politics. Coulter's talk was chockfull of name-calling, logical fallacies, euphemisms, and for lack of better wording, scapegoating.
Her perspectives on political and market economies, or lack thereof, were truly one of a written author and prominent person of society. I think it was very improper and for there to be some kind of redress and reprisal to both the students and faculty of the University.
I thought that there would be some kind of class and taste brought to an academic setting such as the University. Both Coulter and members of the audience did not respect the opinions of the opposition. It was extremely inappropriate for an intellectual collegiate lecture series to put on such an ultra-conservative show with Ann Coulter as the cheerleader. Her fanaticism and zealotry reached a peak, when she told members in the audience, to leave and join the sexual orientation seminar.

Same sex couples should see pathetic state of marriages
P. R. S.
There is a marriage fever in America. Everybody wants to get married. The mother asked the little girl "What do you want to do when you grow up?" And the little girl said, "I want to get married."
This is the dream of girls in America. They go through life waiting for the moment they are going to get married.
JULIA MELIM COELHO
jcoelho@kansan.com
Girls I have met here talk about marriage as if it were necessary, as though marriage was something you have to do at some point in life.
What they did not consider was that the possibility of not getting married is not that bad.
Women have been fighting to be dissociated to the marriage institution and seen as more independent individuals since the 1960s. Many girls still think marriage is the commodity that brings happiness.
Now even same-sex couples want to conform to the traditional institution of marriage while women are fighting to be more independent, same-sex couples are fighting to get married.
Marriage is not hip. Gay couples were hip because they had non-stereotyped relationships that worked better than the traditional roles played by regular couples. They should not try to conform to old stereotypes, like marriage. Marriage has failed in our society.
If same-sex couples realized what was involved in marriage, they might not fight for it. People should be careful in fighting for something that they could regret later.
I would say same-sex couples should be happy that they are not allowed to get married. It is not a disadvantage, it is a benefit.
They should do some research on divorce rates in America. According to the Divorce Reform Web site, about 50 percent of marriages end in divorce.
If women and men were not allowed to get married, they would save so much grief, so much money in divorce paperwork and so much hassle to split the assets.
Not to mention the money the government would save. According to the same Web site, the United States spends
about $35.3 billion each year in divorces. All this money could be used for education, health and social security. We should just stop the marriages to avoid the divorces.
Same-sex couples could have the perfect formula of happiness: Independent relationships without the commitment of marriage. Now they are fighting to get what has destroyed most relationships on earth: marriage.
In fact, nobody should be able to get married. On April 5, when Kansas votes about the same-sex marriage ban, they should include, "Marriage is the union between one man and one woman, and it should never be allowed in any circumstance because it is the greater source of unhappiness in America these days."
Then I would vote for it. But banning marriage for same-sex couples is not enough. They should ban it for everybody.
If marriage is banned for everybody, when the mother asked her daughter what she wanted to do when she grows up, she would still say "I want to get married."
But then, the mother would say, "I am sorry, darling, but now marriage is illegal." And then the girl would reply "Oh; OK, then I will go to law school." And then all couples could live happily ever after.

Afghan visit made
First lady meets with women
BY DEB RIECHMANN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan Under heavy protection in this dusty, dangerous capital, Laura Bush yesterday talked with Afghan women freed from Taliban repression and urged greater rights. She expressed high hopes, envisioning a day when tourists would flock here for vacations.
Religions unite
There were reminders of war at every turn of Bush's visit. U.S. soldiers in camouflage fatigues manned M-60 rifles at both ends of four transport helicopters that flew the first lady and her entourage to events around Kabul.
"I knew we'd be safe," Bush said aboard her plane during her return to Washington. "Afghanistan is safe. There are certainly parts of it that aren't right now. But, in general, I think it is a very safe place to travel."
Still, Bush kept her stay brief. She spent just six hours on the ground and flying nearly halfway around the world to get here.
The first lady met with women training to be teachers and gave presents to Afghan children on the street. She thanked U.S. troops for bringing down rulers who kept girls from school.
President Hamid Karzai said Bush's visit "matters much more than hundreds of millions of dollars. Much more." Yet the fragile democracy is heavily dependent on international aid, and Mrs. Bush said she was asked for help to pay for scholarships, computers and books.

Israel's chief rabbis, the heads of three Christian faiths in the Holy Land and a senior Islamic cleric made an unprecedented joint stand yesterday against plans to hold an international gay festival in Jerusalem this summer.
Jewish leader calls for weapons withdrawal
NATION
MIDDLE EAST
JERUSALEM — Jewish settlers should hand over their weapons before the planned Gaza withdrawal this summer to prevent any chance of bloody confrontations with Israeli troops over the dismantling of settlements, a settler leader said yesterday.
BY PETER ENAV
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The proposal by ultranationalist lawmaker Effie Eitam marked the first time a settler leader acknowledged the potential for violence among settlers during the withdrawal. Eitam and another prominent settler, Bentsi Lieberman, said troops should also be barred from carrying firearms at the time.
Eitam and Lieberman said they hoped to negotiate an agreement on banning weapons with the Israeli police minister.
Many Jewish settlers in Gaza and the West Bank are armed, and settler leaders have warned that extremists could be planning to fire on authorities during the withdrawal, set to begin this summer.
The site — known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary — is revered in both religions. The site is the most sensitive spot in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Also yesterday, Jerusalem Police Chief Ilan Franco said he would prevent withdrawal opponents from holding an April 10 rally at a disputed Jerusalem holy site.
A Palestinian militant, who identified himself as Abu Yousef, warned yesterday that he and his band of gunmen would stop observing a truce with Israel if the rally was held.
Schiavo's parents denied yet again
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court yesterday once again refused to order Terri Schiavo's feeding tube reinserted, dealing another blow to her parents' attempts to keep their severely brain-damaged daughter alive.
The decision, announced in a one-sentence order, was the sixth time since 2000 that the court declined to intervene in the case. Justices did not explain their decision and there was no indication how they voted.
It was also the second time in a week that the high court refused to reinsert the tube.
The court's decision was expected. Not only had justices repeatedly declined to intervene in the Schiavo case on previous occasions, but they routinely defer to state courts on family law issues.

Pope worsens, may need feeding tube
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II is getting nutrition from a feeding tube through the nose, the Vatican said on yesterday, shortly after the frail pontiff appeared at his window in St. Peter's Square and unsuccessfully tried to speak.
Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said the tube was aimed at improving the pope's calorie intake. It was not visible when the pope made his appearance.
Navarro-Valls issued the first medical report on John Paul since March 11 two days before he was discharged from the hospital for the second time in a month. The update came amid media reports saying the pope might be hospitalized again to insert a feeding tube in his stomach because of problems swallowing food.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
Police pledge to be pleasant for Final 4
ST. LOUIS — Expecting thousands of guests in town for college basketball's premier event, police say they'll keep their guard up for any trouble without applying a stifling press on revelers in the city's first Final Four in a quarter century.
About a year in the planning, security downtown over the next several days—including Saturday's Division I semifinals and Monday's title game —will be measured, not as smothering as some complained things were when Pope John Paul II visited here six years ago.
Back then, media accounts previewing tight security were blamed for scaring away would-be viewers of the pontiff along motorcade routes, slashing the size of crowds that had been expected to be far larger.

Veteran end signs with former team
ST. LOUIS — Defensive end Jay Williams, an 11-year veteran who broke in with the then-Los Angeles Rams in 1994, is returning to the team.
The Rams announced yester day they'd signed Williams, 33, to a three-year, $2.65 million contract. The deal includes a $300,000 signing bonus.
The 6-foot-3, 270-pound Williams spent six seasons with the Rams. In 137 career games, including 31 starts, he has 255 tackles, 23 1/2 sacks, four forced fumbles and two interceptions.
His best season was last season, when he had 57 tackles — 32 solo — with two sacks, one interception and two forced fumbles. He played in 16 games, though he started just one. He was released by the Dolphins in February.

giving it a 4-3 edge.
Going into the fifth inning the score was tied at 4-4. Wagner reached base on a double, sending Brett Urban, Lawrence freshman, to the plate for Pi Kapna Phi.
The Pi Kappa Phi defense finished the job, allowing just two of the final eight batters to reach base.
Urban took a ball, then sent the next pitch deep into center field. The AEPI outfielder couldn't run down the ball, 'giving Urban a triple and the game-winning RBI.
Pitching was also more consistent for Pi Kappa Phi. They struck out two batters, and only four batters saw a third pitch in the entire game. AEPI allowed two walks and a foul-ball strikeout.
Wagner and Joseph Toubia, Wichita freshman, each scored two runs for Pi Kappa Phi.
Cleanup hitter, Urban reached third base on two separate occasions.
The AEPI lineup was filled with offense from top to bottom. Every player on the team had at least one base hit and five players had multiple hits. But the team lacked power hitting. Dan Burnstine, Glencoe, Ill., freshman, was the only player to have a triple.
Pool play will continue over the next three weeks. Pi Kappa Phi begins their regular season undefeated.
The team members celebrated the victory by performing two chants: their own and AEPi's, mocking the loosing team.
Pi Kappa Phi is optimistic about the rest of the season.
"We won't stop until we win the championship," Wagner said.

Early in the second half, Chalmers beat his man off a cross-over dribble outside the three-point line, drove to the basket in traffic, hit the shot and drew the foul.

PHOENIX — Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver ordered security guards to remove three Colorado Rockies players from America West Arena on Monday night. The players were exhibiting disorderly conduct while seated directly behind him during a game against Denver.
Rockies spokesman Jay Alves said outfielder Matt Holliday and pitchers Shawn Chacon, Brian Fuentes and Javier Lopez attended the game, but that he was not sure who was ejected.
The Rocky Mountain News identified two of the three who were ejected as Chacon and Fuentes.

Gatorade Player of the Year.

Martincich earned the title after leading Bishop Miege High School to its third straight state title this fall.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said the award was well-deserved.

Bechard
"She has unbelievable leadership skills and really understands the flow of the game and how to distribute the ball," Bechard said. "Schools on the East and West Coasts would have loved to have her, and we think she is the top setter prospect in this part of the country."
The 5-foot-10 setter from Shawnee was also selected as the 2004 Eastern Kansas League Player of the Year and garnered all-state and 5A all-tournament honors.
Martinicich, a two-time Kansas City Star player of the week, will join the Jayhawks for the 2005 season and begin training with the team this summer.
Bechard said Martincic would be a protege to incumbent setter Ari Rozum and likely replace her after the 2005 season. Last season's second-string setter, Ashley Bechard, a Kansan copy chief, will graduate in May.

Spartan fans see double in finals
BASKETBALL
BY LARRY LAGE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Rob Dare and his friends crowded around a TV, screaming as Michigan State competed for a spot in the Final Four.
The students weren't watching the men's team, however. For the first time, Dare and his buddies were tuned in to cheer on the Spartan women.
Michigan State will have its men's and women's teams in the Final Four this weekend and Dare, as much as it surprises him, will be interested in both games.
"Everybody follows the men around here, but now people are jumping on the women's bandwagon, me included," the sophomore said yesterday. "I was really impressed with them against Stanford. Me and my friends couldn't believe how good they could shoot. Maybe we should've started following them earlier."
A green and white Spartans blanket attached to a flag pole flapped in the wind in the back of a pickup truck on the eastern edge of campus.
Michigan State has gone hoops crazy, a fact that could be seen and heard on and around campus.
Merchandise was hawked on street corners under makehift tents, and congratulatory messages could be seen on businesses' marques.
As if a partly cloudy, 70-degree day wasn't enough to create a buzz in the winter-weary college town, two Final Four-bound basketball teams provided an extra boost of excitement.
For the past two weeks, Michigan State president Lou Anna Simon has crisscrossed the country to give equal time to the Spartans in both the men's and women's NCAA tournaments.
There's no rest for Simon now.
"It's a great problem to have," Simon said in interview with The Associated Press a few minutes after the women's team beat Stanford on Tuesday night. "It's going to be a little easier on me this weekend because the sites will be closer together, and the games don't conflict.
"I can't wait to get to the pep rallies and other events we have planned before each game."
Simon will watch the men play North Carolina on Saturday in St. Louis, then travel 250 miles to Indianapolis for the women's game against Tennessee on Sunday.
If both Michigan State teams pull off upsets, Simon will be back in St. Louis on Monday for the men's national championship before wrapping up her whirlwind tour Tuesday night in Indianapolis for the women's title game.
Just six schools have sent both men's and women's teams to the Final Four, but the feat has now happened four years in a row.
Georgia was the first to do it, in 1983, and Duke followed in 1999 before Oklahoma, Texas, Connecticut and now Michigan State had two teams advance to the semifinals from 2002-05. Last year, the Huskies were the first to have both men's and women's teams win national championships in the same season.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said superior facilities, successful recruiting and support from the administration likely helped each school pull off the accomplishment.
At Michigan State, the head coaches of both basketball programs are close and the players are, too.
Izzo said he spoke with women's coach Joanne P. McCallie yesterday afternoon, a day after he gathered his players to watch her team topple Stanford.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Kansas senior forward Wayne Simien was recognized yesterday by the Kansas Senate and House of Representatives in Topeka for his achievements during his senior season.
Simien honored in Topeka for success off court
"WHEREAS, Through his success, his positive attitude, and his strong personal character, Wayne Simien has won the respect and admiration of the entire State of Kansas; and
Simien and his parents, along with Kansas coach Bill Self and Self's wife, Cindy, attended the ceremony where the governor read Simien's list of career accomplishments from a proclamation:
WHEREAS, Kansas is proud to call Wayne Simien one of its own, and no matter where a professional career or personal life may take him, Wayne Simien will always be a Jayhawk," the proclamation read.
Simien
The Leavenworth native was named first-team All-American and Big 12 Conference player of the year during his senior season. He is one of four candidates for the Naismith Award, and he was named one of five finalists for the Wooden Award on Tuesday. Each award is given to the top player in men's college basketball, as determined by separate committees of media voters.
The Naismith Award will be presented at the Final Four in St. Louis. The 29th annual Wooden Award will be announced April 9 in Los Angeles. Simien, his parents, Margaret and Wayne Sr., and Self will attend the event.
Joining Simien on the list of Wooden Award finalists are Utah's Andrew Bogut, Dee Brown of Illinois, North Carolina's Sean May and Duke's J.J. Redick
The senior forward averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds per game during his senior season. He was named Big 12 player of the week three times.
Simien was also named one of 10 Wooden All-Americans.

HOROSCOPES
+ Todav's Birthday.
You'll get a lot farther this year than even you thought possible. Although planning is always suggested, it looks like you succeed almost by accident. Take care, and enjoy the ride.
◄ Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 9.
Your achievements could, quite possibly, exceed your expectations. Don't limit yourself. With discipline, there's no telling how far you can go.
- Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 4'.
The missing piece to the puzzle is there; all you have to do is find it. Start tidying up at one end and gradually work your way to the other.
♦ Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 9.
A person with a different point of view wins the argument. Don't get your underwear into a bunch. There's a reason, and you can figure out what it is.
+ Cancer (June 22-July 21) Today is a 4.
Continue with your new procedure.
it'll soon become a habit and you'll
you ever used you to do the job
the harder way. If you do remember,
you'll laugh.
- Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 10.
Another's passions stir you to get involved, and then take action.
Together, you'll accomplish more than either of you could have alone.
- Vingo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5. You've been looking for the perfect thing, and odds are good you'll find it. Get yourself and your credit card over to where you saw something like it.
- Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is an 8. You keep digging, the odds are good you'll find the buried treasure. It might be the information you seek, but it could be Spanish doublons. Depends on where you dig.
- Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 5.
The money is pouring in, but that's no
excuse to be frivolous. There's some thing unstable about this condition.
Don't take anything for granted.
✓ Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a
9. You’re brilliant, no use denying it.
Sometimes you surprise yourself with
the funny things you say and do. It’s a
talent. Relax and enjoy.
> Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 4. It is a wonderful day for cleaning out the closets and the garage. You'll find all kinds of wonderful treasures, some of which you can actually use.
< **Aquarus** (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is an 8. Transformation is a process whereby something becomes something else. If that were to happen to you, how do you want to emerge?
- Pieces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is a 5.
The best kind of leader, they say,
one who knows how to follow orders.
You've got that part down, so next
you'll get to practice giving them.

Relays boast track stars

Marion Jones, others planning to participate in Kansas Relays

She won America's heart in Sydney when she wone five medals. She caught America's eye amidst last year's Bay Area Lab Co-Operative steroid scandal. But this April, Marion Jones will bring her celebrity to Lawrence.
Tim Weaver, director of the Kansas Relays, and track coach Stanley Redwine announced that Jones will compete in the relays from 2 to 5 p.m. April 23. The Olympic spinner/jumper will join almost a dozen other Olympic athletes in the "Gold Zone." The Gold Zone will match top athletes against each other in a format never tried before at the
Kansas Relays. Maurice Green, Stacy Draglia and University of Kansas graduate Charlie Gruber plan to compete.
"We made a list of the biggest names in track," Weaver said of himself, Redwine and Kansas athletics Director Lew Perkins. "We were left with the top three: Maurice, Marion and Stacy. They're not just track stars, they're superstars."
Jones said she was really looking forward to being able to compete in the Relays.
"It's one of those historic meets that everyone is talking about again," Jones said.
The Kansas Relays recorded its highest attendance since 1983 in 2000, when Maurice Green, a Kansas City, Kan..
native, competed in the 4x100 meter relay.
"Without exaggeration, this will be the greatest collection of Olympic talent the relays have ever seen. It will the biggest KU
Relays crowd in history." Weayer said.
Jones won three gold and two bronze medals in the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney, Australia. In 2004, she finished
first in the Olympic long jump preliminaries, but finished fifth in Athens, dropping out of the 200-meter dash and not qualifying in the 100-meter dash.
Later that year, Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative head Victor Conte accused Jones of using steroids in 2001. She sued Conte on December 16, 2004. Federal investigation has linked BALCO laboratories to several other athletes, including Jones' husband, Tim Montgomery, Montgomery, who owns the world record in the 100-meter dash, 9.78 seconds, admitted to using steroids on June 24, 2004. When asked if Jones participation in the relays would bring bad publicity, Weaver said not at all.
"People are so excited just to see her on the street. They will be more excited just to see her compete." Weaver said.
Jones is currently training for
the World Championships in Helsinki.
"It's a thrill that her path goes through here." Weaver said.
Despite recent controversy, the addition of Jones adds additional publicity to the Kansas Relays, more than other athletes could. Her entry in the relays will mark her second meet since she competed in Athens. She plans to run at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., the week before coming to Lawrence.
"I have no doubt she will be ready to go," Weaver said. "All I have ever seen her do is run fast."
Redwine anticipates Jones' visit to Lawrence will be a tutorial for his team.
"In order to become a champion, you have to see a champion," Redwine said.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Signees shine in national spotlight
Future Jayhawks put on show in South Bend at all-star game
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The West team, which included all three Kansas signees, fell to the East team. 115-100.
Kansas fans got their first glimpse of next year's Jayhawks last night when Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright and Micah Downs hooped it up at the McDonald's All-American game, televised on ESPN.
Chalmers, from Bartlett High School in Anchorage, Alaska, shined in the high school allstar game. He led the West team with 20 points last night and won the three-point competition on Tuesday.
All three future Jayhawks lit it up for the West.
Wright, a forward from Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Chicago Heights, Ill., was on the dunking end of a first-half highlight.
He received a transition alley-oop pass from Byron Eaton, an Oklahoma State signee, with about a minute left in the first half.
Self has described Wright as the most versatile player of the three.
"He is a basketball player." Self said. "He just goes out there and does a little bit of everything."
Wright showed the ability to take the defense off the dribble.
On one play, he drove past his defender on the baseline and went up and under for a hard-earned lay-in.
Chalmers was the star for the West, though. He proved that he had the potential to be the most offensive-minded point guard in recent Kansas history.

Kansas loss to Nebraska leaves team 0-2 in Big 12; overall standing is 15-11

KANSAN SPORTSWRIFFER
The Kansas softball team's home winning streak came to an end yesterday as it fell to Nebraska. 7-3.
Nebraska jumped to an early 2-0 lead after four innings.
The Jayhawks showed some life as Elle Pottorf, freshman catcher, threw out Anne Steffan when she tried to steal second in the third inning.
Nebraska pitcher Ashley DeBuhr held the Jayhawks hitless through four innings. She ended her complete game victory with 11 strikeouts. Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said DeBuhr pitched a good game and her curve ball kept the hitters out in front.
The 'Hawks used three pitchers to get out of the inning, giving up five walks. Kansas allowed eight free passes during the game, with seven bases-on-balls and one hit-pitch.
Nebraska extended the lead to seven with a big fifth innings, scoring five runs.

EXCELLENT ADVENTURE
Team races from 'embarrassing' to 'progressing'
The Kansas baseball team still has control of the wheel after a violent incident involving at least one player culminated with an indefinite suspension. The players proved that when they defeated the No. 9 Nebraska Cornhuskers, 7-6, in their conference opener on Saturday.
When a team hits a bump in the road, the team can go one of two ways. It either spins out of control and flies off course, or it accelerates toward its goal.

Four weeks before, early in the morning Feb. 27, senior pitcher Scott Sharpe was hanging out with

his teammates and got into some trouble at an after-last-call gathering near the bars on 14th Street.
He was accused of battery and released on bond. He was suspended for two weeks.
coming to Kansas in 2003 has been to have an elite Big 12 Conference program that consistently makes the NCAA tournament, was faced with a setback.
Ritch Price, whose goal since
"It's certainly an embarrassing situation," the Kansas coach said after the incident. "And it's embarrassing for our program."
Who knows what happened next, but the Jayhawks won seven straight.
Sure, each game was against inferior competition — the slate included home games against South Dakota State, Baker and Western Illinois. But it felt good to win again.
"I really think our team is progressing well." Price said after his second victory against Western Illinois, number 302 in his career.
The same leadership skills that helped him to win those games helped the team regain traction. The players proved that by capping their winning streak with a victory against Nebraska.
OK, the Jayhawks dropped their next two games in embarrassing fashion, allowing nine runs in each contest. But that's supposed to happen against teams such as Nebraska, a baseball powerhouse.
"For being the first series Big 12-wise, I think we played pretty well," junior relief pitcher Don Czvy said.
Czyz is right. And one-run victories aren't supposed to happen against the Cornhuskers. Especially when a team, as Kansas was, was held hitless for four innings. And
when that team, as Kansas did,
looked down-and-out just three
weeks earlier.
"We have to make every play when we're playing a team as good as Nebraska." Price said.
And they did, at least for one game. So this weekend, go out to your favorite bar and toast coach Price.
Just make sure to avoid the after parties. I hear they can get rowdy.
