Tickets for the event have been on sale for months, and include three different pricing categories. A four-day pass costs $119, the weekend pass costs $75 and the single day pass costs $50, Brett Mosiman, director of the Wakarusa Music Fest, said. The single day and weekend passes will go up $10 if purchased after June 16. For the fan looking to save a buck, coupons are offered at all Lawrence Yellow Subs, 624 W. 12th St. and 1814 W. 23rd St., for $10 off the gate price.

Mosiman said. This is the second year of the annual event, and promoters are expecting to bring in 15,000 people a day from throughout the country. The promoters brought national attention to the event last year and this year by spending nearly half their budget on Internet advertisements and placing more than 30 box offices throughout the Midwest, Mosiman said. "It was gratifying to say that our first year we were a national festival." Mosiman said. again this year. The national exposure from the concert helped the band tour around the nation, Derek Hein, bass player for Big Metal Rooster, said. "This thing really came along right when we were trying to get to the echelon." Hein said. With more national exposure comes better headliners and a stronger lineup. This year the headliners are the String Cheese Incident, Wilco, Umphrey's McGee and Gov't Mule. These larger bands helped inspire many younger musicians, like Hein. last year and is on the bill Jenny Hoyt, Topeka senior, to come back another year. She said the experience was memorable and planned on camping there for the entire four days, as well as being there for the first band tomorrow. Hoyt said last year she both brought food to the event and bought food at the event. "We tried to bring enough for the entire weekend, but we also bought some food and beer," Hoyt said. "It can get pretty expensive though." Campers and other fans are allowed to bring their own food, but vendors will be on site to provide food and drink to all, Mosiman said. More than 25 food vendors of all varieties will be at the festival, as well as the sponsor of the event, Fat Tire. The festival will offer more options than it did last year, Mosiman said. The festival will offer more than 60 arts vendors, as well as entertainment options for children, Mosiman said. Edited by Erin M.

R. C. Kerri Henderson/KANSAN BY ADAM LAND aland@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Vandalism and chicanery have plagued the men of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity ever since they acquired their new house at 1111 W. 11th St. The fraternity, which is now on campus, has had two incidents involving vandalism to its new home or its possessions on the property. The first, and most destructive, incident came on May 13, Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Spokesman, said. Officers were called to the scene at 2:39 a.m. for a disturbance at the house. Once officers entered, they found the home had been damaged. Ceiling tiles and light fixtures were the main items damaged in the home, Ward said. Estimated damage from the vandalism was about $1,000. As police searched the home they encountered and arrested a 22-year-old man, and charged him with criminal damage. Ward said. During that same night police were called back to the home at 3:42 a.m.. Ward said. When police entered the home they found that damage had been done to the carpets and to the walls, Ward said. He said estimated damage to the carpets was about $50. Another 22-year-old man was arrested during the second call and was charged with criminal trespassing, because he was not found to have actually vandalized anything. Ward said. Police were still investigating the first case when the house suffered another bout of vandalism. On June 1, Tau Kappa Epsilon placed a new headstone, with its fraternity letters, outside of its new home. One broken window remains from the vandalism problem at Phi Kappa Theta. Renovations to the house began June 1. At approximately 3 a.m. June 10, the head stone was knocked over and spray-painted, Ward said. He said the police currently have no suspects. The letters spray painted on the headstone were that of the fraternity that used to inhabit the house, Phi Kappa Theta. president, said the former fraternity and its members could not comment on the vandalism. Last semester, Phi Kappa Theta lost its charter for violation of Interfraternity Council rules. Matt Moreno, Wichita junior and former Phi Kappa Theta the University and the Interfraternity Council, the governing body for sororities and fraternities, and some members faced criminal charges from local authorities. The fraternity conducted a party on campus and police were called to the home. The police confiscated 16 kegs. The fraternity faced sanctions from Although the vandalism was unexpected, it has not hindered the renovations Tau Kappa Epsilon planned for the house, Alex Plassmeyer, Stilwell junior and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, said. "We have positive relations with the Phi Kappa Theta Board of Advisors," Plassymeyer said. "We have moved on and look forward to the fall semester and many more to come at our new location on the hill." - Edited by Erin M. Droste First Management Something for everyone.

Tuition and fees for two 15-hour semesters $14,000 Nonresident $12,000 $9,811 $10,687 $11,577 $12,691 $13,866 $10,000 $8,000 $6,000 Resident $4,000 $2,884 $3,484 $4,101 $4,737 $5,413 $2,000 $0 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 Proposed The University's proposed tuition for 2005-06 should be approved by the Board of Regents next Wednesday or Thursday. The proposal is the fourth part of a five-year strategy by the University to raise tuition. Each year of the last three years, the University has raised tuition. The administration is seeking a fourth increase. The proposed increase came in May, as the fourth installment of the University's five-year tuition plan, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. A decline in state funding during the past 15 years led the Board of Regents, the governing board for all state-sponsored schools, to ask the universities to come up with five-year plans to increase tuition. The University will know the Regents' decision regarding the proposal by June 22 or 23. According to the University's Web site, tuition.ku.edu, tuition would rise to $22.05 an hour for Kansas resident undergraduate students, and $38.65 an hour for nonresident undergraduate students. With the increase in tuition, the average 15-hour semester for a resident would rise to $2,706, up from $2,368 the past year, approximately a 16 percent increase. Nonresident tuition would be $6,932,up from $6,346 the past year, approximately a 10 percent increase. The estimated total for a resident student, including room, board and other expenses, for one year would be $15,256. That would leave students with loan debt of more than $60,000, assuming they graduate in four years. Fees will also go up $7.50, bringing the total required fees to $294.50. $23.65 per credit hour, an approximate 13 percent increase. For a nonresident graduate student it would rise $40.90, an approximately nine percent increase. Graduate students will also feel the squeeze on their wallets. Costs for a resident graduate student would rise by The cost of tuition for resident graduate students would be raised by $291, and nonresident tuition would go up $499. Although the increase could mean less money for students, some students understand that increases have to be made. "It's too bad, but they have to have money to operate," Sarah Arbuthnot, Belleville graduate student, said. Arbuthnot pointed out paying may be a little easier for her because she worked for the University and received a discount rate. With the last increase the University gained an extra $16 million, splitting the money into three separate categories. The first category, which received $1.7 million, was student financial aid. The University has been able to offer financial help to students it could not have offered three years ago, Bretz said. The University has given financial assistance to 4,200 students this year, Bretz said. She said this assistance allowed it to retain much of its socioeconomic makeup. More than $8 million went into what the University calls tuition enhancement. The money was spent on new faculty, a raise for current faculty, a raise for GTAs, money for the libraries and raises for some non-faculty employees. The last category, maintenance costs, received $5.7 million for maintenance of buildings and grounds on campus. Although the increases mean students will spend more, they get to see the benefits of it, Bretz said. — Edited by Erin M. Droste A little too fast? We can help. AGE LIMIT 21 or M.I.P.

Monsignor to leave St. Lawrence center after 28 years By Liz NARTOWICZ lnartowicz@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER A smiling but teary-eyed Monsignor Vince Krische recounted memories in his office June 9 at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center while he prepared himself to say goodbye to friends and 28 years of service at the center. Kristische, better known as Father Vince by students, will leave St. Lawrence on July 15 to become a pastor at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Prairie Village. Krische is leaving as part of a succession plan by the Archdiocese of Kansas City. Kan. "I wish I could "He is very much a part of St. Lawrence. He's really helped the center grow." West said Krische was always looking for a way to improve the center. West said he remembered Krische standing up during a staff meeting and asking everyone to wipe down the counter and sink every time they nancially dependent on the Archdiocese. By enlisting support of the community, Krische made the center thrive solely from donations.

Krische moved from Topeka to Lawrence in 1977 to help the center accommodate the increasing number of Catholic students. An estimated 5,000 Catholics attended the University of Kansas in 1977, according to the center's Web site.

Beseau, 39, is a KU alumnus and former board member for the center. Krische said he remembered Beseau as a student and believed the center would grow with Beseau as the new director. "If they said do you want to hand-pick your successor," Krische said. "I would have picked him." Beseau will become the new director on March 1, after finishing his doctorate in sacred theology.

Columbia Police Major Doug Schwandt arrested Wymore for unlawful re-entry into Mizzou Arena on March 9. Wymore, along with Chris Kaufman, 2005 graduate, was at Mizzou Arena for the MU-KU men's basketball game. 513787 Wymore Wymore rejected a plea bargain from the prosecutor, the details of which he would not reveal, at his appearance and had his charges lowered from criminal trespassing to a city ordinance violation. Schwandt escorted Wymore and Kaufman outside the arena after an argument between Kaufman and University of Missouri Police Chief Jack Watring. Kaufman and Watring were arguing about a 3-by-6-foot banner that Kaufman hung from a railing inside the arena. The banner read Allen Fieldhouse East. Although Kaufman had received permission from an usher to hang the banner, Watring started to remove the sign. In his statement, Watring said he started to remove the sign because it was potentially troublesome. When Kaufman tried to stop Watring, Watring grabbed him by the collar, Kaufman said. Shortly afterward, Schwandt approached the scene and led the men outside where he told Wymore his ticket was revoked. Wymore said he was confused and wondered if he had purchased a false ticket. "I asked him why and he just folded his arms and said 'It just has,'" Wymore said. Wymore said he then walked to the ticket office to buy another ticket with Schwandt with him for every step. After buying another ticket Wymore tried to reenter the arena. "Before I even got my foot in the door he had me in handcuffs," Wymore said. Wymore spent the next half-hour in Boone County Jail before being bailed out by his friends. Captain Weimer, Schwandt's supervisor, would not comment on the incident because charges were filed. Wymore will return to court on Aug. 3 and expects to be cleared of the charges. "Any rational person who looks at the facts will come down on our side," Wymore said. If cleared, Wymore is considering filing a civil complaint against Schwandt. Wymore said he would appeal if found guilty. — Edited by Erin M.

After years of seclusion, with few public appearances, the worldrenowned author is coming to the University of Kansas on Oct. 6. The author had a fatwa, or death sentence, placed on him by Ayatollah Khomeini, the spiritual leader of Iran, in 1989. Protesters held demonstrations against Rushdie throughout the world. "He went into hiding for 10 years," Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center for the Humanities, said. "He was afraid to walk out his front door." The author's speech, entitled "Step Across the Line: An Evening with Salman Rushdie," will be at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Dr., and is sponsored by the Hall Center for the Humanities. After the speech there will be a question and answer session, Bailey said. A. B. Raman Rushdie was chosen because of his literary Rushdie works and because of his political activism, Bailey said. "I wanted a speaker who wasn't just a novelist," Bailey said. "But a person who had many other strong feelings of life." Rushdie's strong feelings in his work have earned him accolades as well as enemies. His most famous work, "The Satanic Verses," deals with a controversial story about the prophet Muhammad. The book received so much international attention because of its criticism of fundamentalist Islam, according to www.scholars nus.edu. The book was banned in Rushdie's home country of India, and throughout the Islamic world. "He went into hiding for 10 years. He was afraid to walk out his front door." Victor Bailey Director of the Hall Center for the Humanities The Ayatollah put a $1 million price on the assassination of Rushdie, and the bounty was to double by 1997, according to www.rotten.com/library. During this period he lived in safe house after safe house, aided by British authorities and police. Clerics throughout the world protested and even injured some of the publishers, harming Rushdie's Norwegian publisher outside his home. The reward for his execution would grow to almost $3 million before 1998 when the Iranian government officially ended the fatwa. Lesser religious clerics still threaten the author's life, some offering monetary rewards for Rushdie's assassination. Since the Iranian government lifted the fatwa, the author has come out of seclusion and has begun appearing in public again. His speech at the University will cover a series of articles he has published, called "Step Across this Line," Bailey said. The topics range from articles about "The Wizard of Oz," to the conflict between Pakistan and India. The diversity of his experience will make for an engaging evening, Bailey said. "Rushdie does not just come from a western tradition," Bailey said. "He comes from an eastern tradition also, and that blending makes him very interesting." The Hall Center for the Humanities is paying for the speech mostly with private donations, but SUA is also contributing to the cost, Bailey AUTHORS COMING Sept. 14: Deborah Lipstadt, professor of modern Jewish and Holocaust studies F Nov. 17: Samantha Power, Pulitzer Prize winner and founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy.

Students and faculty are encouraged to come to see this post-colonial writer talk about his experiences, Bailey said.

The committee will make its recommendation to Hemenway when he returns from his trip abroad. Hemenway returns June 20, and the decision is ultimately up to him, so there won't be an announcement about which logo will be used until he gets back, David Johnston, director of marketing. said. Why does the University want a new logo? The main reason is to prevent all the different schools on campus from sending off different messages about the University. One all-encompassing message will improve communication, Johnston said. The committee gathered student, faculty, alumni and Internet feedback and found the two most prominent symbols currently associated with the University were the Jayhawk and the seal. "What we found is that most people associate the Jayhawk with fun and athletics, while the seal is very formal, scholarly and confusing at the same time because it is in Latin," Johnston said. "There is room for a third symbol that will represent academic stature in a friendly way." Four proposals are on the table for discussion. All of the logos are similar, each with the letters "KU" set in a different font. To vote for your favorite logo and give feedback on the issue, go to: http://www.ur.ku.edu/marketing/visual/feedback.html. The cost of getting a new logo will only affect the University short-term because only private funds are being utilized, Johnston said. "You have to look at the current spending in communications and their efforts," Johnston said. "One message will make communication better and in the long run save the University money." The process of getting a new logo is part of a bigger project taking place at the University known as the KU Integrated Marketing Plan. The main goal of this project according to the KU Integrated Marketing Web site is "To enhance the image, reputation and visibility of KU in the eyes of key constituents." The logo is just one aspect of the plan. The new logo will be implemented in the fall semester. The rest of the summer will be spent creating a visual identity program that will include instructions on which logo to use in which situation, Johnston said. — Edited by Erin M.

"Hitch" will be run at 10 p.m. on June 17 at the bottom of the hill by Potter Lake, near the Campanile. "We chose "Hitch" because it seemed like a fun summer flick that would reach a wide audience," Mary Garavaglia, summer coordinator for SUA, said. "Hitch" follows a professional matchmaker, played by Will Smith, whose program is threatened by a female journalist, played by Eva Mendes, who enrolls as a student and plans to publish an exposé on his fraudulent methods, according to movies.yahoo.com.

Experiencing a Chinese marketplace as well as visiting the country itself were firsts for me and for the people walking with me. I was traveling with the KU Wind Ensemble, the premier wind band at the University, composed of about 60 members and directed by John Lynch. We were asked to play for a commemorative exhibition of the World War II Flying Tigers, an American volunteer group of fighter pilots who helped during that war. Our trip lasted from May 26 to June 7 and included five performances in three cities: Chengdu, Kunming and Shenyang. Our first performance started out a bit unnervingly. After driving down a dirt road for what seemed to be an eternity, we ended up in a building resembling a hangar. Once inside, we couldn't shake the feeling that at any point they were going to slam all the doors shut, turn off the lights and hold us hostage. We later found out this couldn't have been farther from the truth, and rough dirt roads like the one we traveled on are commonplace outside the major cities. The audience gave us a warm welcome and we surprised them halfway through our performance by changing into authentic Flying Tigers outfits, which were custom-tailored to each individual ensemble member. The costumes turned out to be a huge crowd pleaser. Even more than the toilet paper deficit or the fun of waiting for my boiled water to cool enough to drink, I will always remember the good hospitality in China. In Chengdu and Kunming, we were greeted at the airport with signs reading "Welcome American Friends." Our tour guides, many of whom were local volunteer university students, were always eager to help us in any way they could. Their pride in their country and heritage was evident in their speech. After five performances, lots of sightseeing and plenty of late nights, we were all ready for the trip to come to an end. I feel that I gained a lot both in life experiences and forming friendships with the talented members of our ensemble. If it's possible, I will miss China but appreciate America even more, all for the same reasons. I learned in China that after climbing up hundreds of steps at the Great Wall, it's just as difficult if not more so to climb down, considering the Jell-O-like state of your legs. I learned that you could become skinny pretty fast if you plan to be a vegetarian in China, since even the tofu dishes are sprinkled with tiny slivers of chicken. Sometimes, if you're not sure what kind of meat or vegetable is on your plate, you just have to bite into it and hope for the best. I discovered repeatedly that it is possible to get a decent 1/2-liter of beer for about 30 cents, and an entire case for about $4. Above all else, I learned on this trip that you should never go to China without Immodium AD, but always go expecting friendly people and crowds that love to clap to a good march. —Edited by Adam Land 图14-10 岳阳楼 Top: This pagoda structure is part of a buddhist temple, open for tourism and religious practice.

Common to the summer scene, mosquitoes may be in full force this year because of the large amount of rain. An employee at First Med, 2323 Ridge Ct., said she could not release patient records, but said the increase in allergic reactions to mosquito stings was apparent, especially in children. Mosquitoes thrive near areas of standing water where they lay their eggs. Any extra, neglected puddles lying around could increase their numbers. Besides the annoyance of additional stings — mosquitoes sting, they do not bite — the possible rise in mosquitoes can be a threat to one's health. Mosquito stings can cause severe allergic reactions and transmit a variety of diseases, including the West Nile Virus. It is important to know the difference between a regular sting and an allergic reaction to a sting so that you can get medical help, said physician Ron Weiner, asthma and allergy specialist for Lawrence Memorial Hospital. In Kansas, the worrisome insects are bees, wasps, white hornets, yellow jacket hornets and mosquitoes, said Weiner. A normal reaction from the stings of these insects involves the expected symptom of an uncomfortable, itchy rash. The rash is a result from the proteins in the insect's venom Weiner said. "Swelling, tenderness and pain is common and expected with a sting." Weiner said. "This is not an allergic reaction. It is when the rash spreads from one joint to the next that there is a problem." A rash normally stays within the span of a quarter surrounding the point of entry. It is when this rash becomes larger, painful to the touch, heated or raised significantly that an allergic reaction has occurred, Weiner said. The cause of an allergic reaction is a body's overproduction of antihistamines. The body produces antihistamines after being stung to fight against the insect's venom. DON'T GET BITTEN! Helpful tips to avoid mosquitoes: Remove all standing water when possible. This includes clogged gutters, pool covers and any rain-filled containers left outside. Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens without holes. Wear long sleeves, pants, socks and closed shoes when outdoors. Wear mosquito repellents on exposed skin. Avoid prime mosquito locations such as marshes or wetlands and encourage local officials to treat small ponds with larvicide. Source: ActiveLifestyles.com Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs. Keep them covered when they aren't in use. If experiencing an allergic reaction, the infected person should seek medical attention immediately. If left untreated, the venom could spread to the heart or lungs and be fatal, Weiner said. Another important reason to seek medical attention from a troublesome sting is to rule out diseases such as West Nile Virus. Although rare, cases of West Nile Virus have appeared in Kansas. According to the Centers for Disease Control Web site, www.cdc.gov, 91 human cases, four resulted in death, were reported in 2003. Forty-three human cases were reported in 2004; two resulted in deaths. Currently, no cases have been reported for this year. Edited by Erin M.

If you have questions, don't hesitate to email them to mistercollege@kansan.com. In the interim, the editors will provide the questions. The student whose name is cited below is not an actual student. Dear Mr. College Answer Person, It's hot around here during the summer.Tell me,where are the best places to cool off and take a dip? Dave, Sophomore Dear Dave. I believe the most convenient place to go swimming throughout Lawrence is at the local apartment complexes, Jefferson Commons, 2511 W 31st St., and Colony Woods Apartments, 1501 W 24th, are a couple to get you started. Even if you don't have a friend living in one, the security people are rarely snoopy or crosswise. Those who choose to respect the pool and its rules seldom run into trouble. The Lawrence public pool is the other best bet. During the day, these waters are full of children, and things get a bit iffy when they blow the turd whistle. That being said, its downtown location is pretty sweet, and it does offer diving boards. Mr. College Answer Person does not advise trying this, but he has heard of people taking the after-bar plunge off of the high-dive. Patrick House, Prairie Village senior; admitted to taking the plunge sometime last week after closing time. "It was really exciting," he said, "except then my dumbass friend left his sandals in there, so we had to go in twice, which made me pretty nervous". If you like to get off the beaten path, another option is to go explore the sand beaches of Clinton Lake. These beaches are not patrolled by life guards and you can swim at night, but only at your own risk. One of my favorite activities in the world is to float out there on an inflatable raft with a book (kept safe in a ziplock bag). The beach on the Wakarusa Fest side of the lake, once known as Lake Henry, was a mecca for nude swimming during the '60s. Unfortunately, nowadays, all nude swimming around Lawrence is prohibited. Still, the beach offers a quiet little nook amidst the beautiful wild state-park landscape. If you want, you can enter the park near the visitor center and take the bike trails all the way to the beach and avoid the $6.50 camping entrance fee. There is also a larger beach on the opposite side of the lake near the town of Clinton. This beach, at Bloomington Park, costs only a dollar (self-pay). Unfortunately, because of all of the recent rain, the water level is up 10 feet and both beaches are submerged. But be patient. David Rhodes, Clinton Lake park manager, said the beaches should be reopened in a couple weeks.

"He's not going to do that because it makes him vulnerable to false charges," Michael Jackson leaves the Santa Barbara County Courthouse in Santa Maria, Calif., June 13. The jury in the Jackson child molestation case found the pop star not guilty on all counts. attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. told The Associated Press in a wide-ranging interview.

The case against the 80- year-old Killen represents Mississippi's latest attempt to deal with unfinished business from the state's bloodstained racist past. The slayings of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner galvanized the civil rights movement and helped win passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

These are people that were captured in the battlefield of Afghanistan or rounded up as part of the al-Qaida network," he said in an interview to be aired Monday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" Human rights activists and some lawmakers — mostly Democrats — are pressing for the prison's closure because of allegations of torture and abuse. - The Associated Press INTERNATIONAL Volcano of Fire erupts, active again SAN MARCOS, Mexico - The Volcano of Fire has rumbled back to life with its strongest eruptions in 20 years, spewing lava and ash clouds that have some residents, who remained in their homes June 1, casting nervous glances at the peak. The volcano, which straddles the line between Colima and Jalisco states 430 miles west of Mexico City, has had six spectacular eruptions in the past three weeks.

Battle finished second in shotput with a personal best distance on June 10, during the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Jeff Jacobsen/KUAC TRACK AND FIELD KANSAS Jayhawks named All-Americans BY ASHLEY MICHAELS amichaels@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER At the end of the collegiate track and field season the Kansas track and field team had three of its members named as All-American athletes. KU athletes Jeremy Mims, Sheldon Battle and Amy Linnen received All-American honors for this season's achievements. Twelve members of the women's and men's teams competed in Sacramento June 8 through 11. That is the most athletes to attend the NCAA Championships since Head Coach Stanley Redwine arrived at the University. The first two days of the Championships were spent in the preliminary rounds to determine which athletes would move on to the finals. Five athletes from the KU track team qualified for the finals. "The entire meet was great overall, there were good performances in all the events," said senior middle distance runner Mims. "It was exciting to see some of the top athletes in the nation compete and be there when collegiate records were broken by people that I knew or "It was a little disappointing for me personally," Mims said. "Coach and I had a great strategy for me to win the race and I feel like I let him down, but it was a great experience anyway." Mims qualified for the finals in the 800-meter run. He finished 4th overall with a time of 1:45.86. This time is a personal best for Mims and the second best time in KU school history. Junior thrower Battle qualified for the finals in both the shotput and discus throw. He placed 2nd in the shotput with had competed against." a throw of 66-07 1/4, and 11th in the discus throw. Battle competed in three separate events at the NCAA Championships. He also placed 16th in the hammer throw preliminaries with a throw of 199-05. Both women pole vaulters who qualified for the NCAA Championships also made it to the finals. Senior pole vaulter Lennin placed 3rd overall, setting a new school record with a height of 14-01 1/4, and freshman Ekaterina Sultanova took 7th place. Senior Brooklyn Hann made it to the finals in triple jump, placing 8th in the competition. Other notable performances include freshman Julius Jiles, who ended his freshman career Wednesday with an 11th-place finish in the 110 meter hurdles. On June 9, first time competitor at the NCAA Championships and senior thrower Jen Widerstrom placed 19th in the hammer throw, ending her career with a new school record throw of 185 feet. A selected few of the KU Track and Field team members will receive invitations to compete in the U.S. Championships.

Van Slyke, another junior, were drafted off the Kansas baseball team last weak. Seniors Sean Richardson and Mike Zagurski were drafted too. kansas the photo MLB drafts four Four Jayhawks were selected in the 2005 Major League Baseball amateur draft. Kansas coach Ritch Price said he was thrilled for the two seniors, but it would be devastating to lose the two juniors. Junior outfielder A.J. Van Slyke, senior catcher Sean Richardson, junior outfielder Gus Milner and senior left-handed pitcher Mike Zagurski were all drafted last week. Zagurski was selected in the 12th round by the Philadelphia Phillies. He was the 367th overall pick. Zagurski posted an 8-5 record, a 4.95 ERA and broke the University's all-time single season strikeout record with 112 batters, all in the 2005 season. Richardson was selected in the 19th round by the Minnesota Twins as the 585th overall pick. Richardson had a .317 batting average, 34 doubles, 18 home runs and 114 RBI during his two seasons with the Jayhawks. Van Slyke was selected in the 23rd round by the St. Louis Cardinals and was the 710th overall pick. He posted a .323 batting average, led the Jayhawks with 12 home runs and had 114 RBI at the completion of the 2005 season. Milner was selected in the 47th round by the Cleveland Indians and was the 1,406th overall pick. Milner had a .298 batting average, nine home runs and 45 RBI in his first season at Kansas. "I am really happy for them," Price said. "From the time they play Little League and throughout their career it is their dream. They get to live out a dream." Note: Senior pitcher Jacob Jean signed a contract with the Chicago White Sox. "I'm really excited that I am able to continue my baseball career past the Division I Level," said Jean.

Giddens appeared before the Johnson District County Court on Monday charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault in an apparently unrelated matter. According to the Lawrence Journal-World, Jeremiah Creswell, 24, was arrested for threatening his mother, Beverly Creswell, and uncle, Randall Wilson, with a steak knife. The Kansan previously reported that Giddens suffered a sliced artery in his right calf during a fight in the parking lot of the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St., on May 19, according to Lawrence police. Witnesses said Giddens, along with ten other men, attacked Giddens after the bar had closed. According to the Kansas City Star, Creswell cut Giddens with a four-inch knife. Bad throw leads to afternoon bath In the latest incident, Creswell appeared before the Johnson County court via video from the Johnson County Adult Detention Facility. Magistrate James Phelan set Creswell's bond at $50,000 and ordered him not to contact his mother, his uncle or three other family members, according to the Lawrence Journal-World. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 23. A court-appointed lawyer will represent Creswell, who faces up to 42 months in prison if found guilty, according to the Kansas City Star. Creswell is also set to appear June 27 at the Topeka Municipal Court on separate charges. After he failed to appear in court last September, Topeka police issued a warrant for his arrest. Creswell was charged with criminal property damages, interfering with an officer and disobeying a lawful order.

MEN'S BASKETBALL MLB drafts basketball recruit With the 17th pick in the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft, the New York Yankees selected C.J. Henry of Putnam City High School in Oklahoma. Henry previously told Kansas basketball coach Bill Self he would walk on to the Kansas basketball team if he were to play basketball anywhere. Henry, a highly regarded basketball recruit, MIAMI BEACH MILITARY CORPS Henry two times all-State, is the son of two former Jayhawks, Carl Henry and Barbara Adkins. His selection in the first round virtually guarantees Henry a multimillion dollar contract, including a signing bonus. Stephen Drew, who was selected 12th overall last season, recently signed a contract, ending what had been a record-long hold out. His contract included a $4 million signing bonus and guaranteed him at least $5.5 million over four years, Baseball America reported on its Web site. Henry previously suggested he would like to play basketball even if drafted. Most baseball analysts believe it highly unlikely any front office would allow such a highly touted prospect to play another sport. — Kansan staff report EAGLE RIDGE APARTMENTS 530 Eldridge Street - 1 & 2 BR Apartments - Rents from $410 - Small Pets Welcome - Grocery/Restaurants/ Post Office Adiacent - Furnished/Short-Term Available STONECREST TOWNHOMES 1000 Monterey Way - Microwaves/Dishwashers 2 & 3 BR Apts. & Twinn. * Rents from $550 - Washer/Dryer Hookups - 2 & 3 BR Apts. & Twhhm. - Adjacent to Perry Park - Fireplaces - KU Parking Pass (1 per apt) Office: 530 Eldridge St., Suite L 1 Phone: 785-749-1102 - Small Pets Welcome E-mail: ResourceManagment@sunflower.com Please go to www.tutoring.ku.edu or stop by 22 Strong Hall for a list of courses and more information.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2005 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FITNESS Dog Days creator down but not out 50 BY ASHLEY MICHAELS amichaels@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Kerri Henderson/KANSAN Participants of Dog Days warm up running two laps around the track. Dog Days began as a summer workout for highschool athletes that evolved into a community workout for people of all ages. For 24 years, Don "Red Dog" Gardner has been an active participant in the Dog Days workouts, with the exception of this year. "Every year I would do everything they did until now, my back started giving me trouble," Gardner said. Gardner and Jim "Punkin" O'Connell started Dog Days 24 years ago after watching high school football players go into two-a-day workouts out of shape, which resulted in injuries. The two created the program as a way for players to get summer conditioning and it eventually grew into a community event. Originally workouts were held at Lawrence High School, but were moved to Memorial Stadium with the permission of Floyd Temple, assistant athletic director at the time. Moving from LHS to Memorial Stadium has made a difference in the number of people that come to the workouts, Gardner said. "I think the use of the stadium is what brings people to Dog Days," Gardner said. "Most people would never get into the stadium if it weren't for the workouts and the controlled atmosphere." Mike Neal, assistant dean of the School of Education, agreed that the program would not be as enticing if it were held at the levee, or somewhere else in Lawrence. The Dog Days crowd is fairly diverse. The three age groups, as described on the Dog Days T-shirts, are high school, college and "has-beens." "I would say we have about 500 people in the morning and SCHEDULE June ♦ Tuesday and Thursday- 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. July to August 11 ◆Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday- 6 a.m., noon and 6 p.m. June and July ♦ Saturdays Lied Center 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. 500 people in the evening," Gardner said. "It will probably grow in July, it could get as high as 1,200 people." Workouts last about 30 to 40 minutes with Gardner conducting the drills through his megaphone. Each session begins with stretching, followed by calisthenics and then running. The runs take different forms. One day it could be stadium stairs and the next it might be bleacher seats. Nate Rahmeier, second year law student at the University, has been coming to Dog Days for 13 years. He ran cross country in high school and now competes in marathons. He said that Dog Days kept him in better shape than when he was in high school. The ultimate goal for the end of the summer is to run east up the hill to Gertrude Sellards Pearson residence hall and back and then up the hill to the Campanile and back. To achieve their ultimate goal at the end, workouts increasingly get harder as the summer goes on. And if the weather turns bad, they just take it up to the Kansas Union parking garage east of Memorial Stadium. Although Dog Days is about getting into shape and motivating people to work out, throughout the years it has come to mean more than that to its faithful following. "Lawrence is pretty into community, it says something about people wanting to be fit, but it's a great place to meet people and make friends," Susan Stuever, Lawrence resident, said. "It's great for kids and families because it is hard to find an activity that the entire family can enjoy." "I met my wife at Dog Days in 1999 and we have been here every summer since," Randy Glidewell, Lawrence resident, said. Glidewell said three other couples have met at Dog Days and eventually married. Neal describes the Dog Days craze in terms of peer pressure. "If you skip out on Dog Days it's like missing out on church. You are going to hear about it from somebody." As for Gardner, although he can't participate in the workouts anymore,he doesn't plan on giving up conducting Dog Days anytime soon. "We thought he'd quit at 20 years," Stuever said. "Maybe at 25 years he'll pass on the torch." - Edited by Erin M.

Each semester the financial aid office sends out an e-mail regarding student status. This e-mail was sent to 119 students notifying them that they were at risk of losing their financial aid because they had failed classes. The e-mail was supposed to be sent individually to each of the 119 students. Instead, each student on the list received the e-mail inclusive with the list of the other 118 students who also failed their classes and were in danger of losing financial aid. The list of students was included in the e-mail as part of the e-mail address list. "It was a low-tech error in a high-tech environment," said Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations. "It was a case of someone hitting 'Reply All' instead of 'Reply,' not to make light of the situation." This particular incident is a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which protects the privacy of student education records, Cohen said. The e-mail was sent on June 20, and financial aid office employees recognized the mistake on June 21. They then sent out an e-mail apologizing to all the students expressing their deepest regrets and assuring them that steps would be taken to prevent this from happening in the future, Cohen said. "That was a mistake, it should have been done much more privately," Cohen said. "It was a completely unintentional, inadvertent mistake." Cohen said he was not at liberty to say who sent the e-mail or what actions would be taken toward the individual, but he said the staff would revisit FERPA and would be trained to make sure that it doesn't happen again. "It was an individual mistake, an easily-made error, but it will serve as a reminder to the rest of the staff that we have to pay more attention to how things are transmitted," Cohen said. — Edited by Erin M. Droste DEATH KU grad student found dead BY LIZ NARTOWICZ lnartowicz@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Lawrence police officers found the body of University of Kansas graduate student Yihong Zhu in his apartment June 14. Lawrence police were called to Meadowbrook Apartments, UU Britney Place, to check on Zhu because he had not been seen or paid his rent. After entering Zhu's apartment with the help of Meadowbrook management, police saw a handmade sign that warned a hazardous chemical might be present. The Hazardous Materials Unit of Douglas County Fire and Medical was called in to assist. The unit found Zhu's body while searching for hazardous chemicals. No hazardous chemicals were found. An investigation into Zhu's death is in progress. Erik Mitchell, Frontier Forensics coroner, performed an autopsy on Zhu last week to determine the cause of death. Sergeant Dan Ward of the Lawrence Boyle Police Department said Mitchell was waiting for the toxicology report before he determined the cause. Ward said so far there was no sign of foul play. Zhu Zhu, 29, was born in Qiqihar in Heilongjian Province China. He graduated from Nankai University in Tianjin, China in 1999. Zhu enrolled in the University of Kansas in the fall of 2000. As a student of molecular biosciences, Zhu worked with Matthew Buechner, assistant professor of molecular biosciences. "Yihong was a little shy. He liked to work by himself," Buechner said. "But he was friendly, well-liked and very bright." In 2002 Zhu transferred labs and worked under Krzysztof Kuczera, associate professor of molecular biosciences. Kuczera said Zhu was a hard worker who was interested and focused on his learning and research. In Kuczera's lab, Zhu worked on computer representations of molecules. Zhu mainly kept to himself while at work, Kuczera said. Feng He, who works under Mark Richter, professor of molecular biosciences, met Zhu while working in the labs three years ago. He said he considered Zhu a friend but rarely saw him. "I've seen him only 10 times in the last three years,' He said. He is serving as the translator for Zhu's parents, who speak Mandarin Chinese. Zhu's parents will arrive late this week or early next week and have asked the He not to comment on Zhu's death. Kuczera said although he was not particularly close to Zhu, Zhu confided in him that he would return to China early this summer. Kuczera said Zhu would return home because of health problems. Kuczera would not comment on Zhu's health problems. Edited by Erin M. Droste From tanning at our pool and sweating in our exercise center, to relaxing in an Air-Conditioned apartment.

The proposal, has yet to reach the desks of the final decision makers, Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger. Nearly six months after Steve Munch, former student body president, pitched the idea to re-establish alcohol sales at the Union, the proposal is still in the revision stage. "We're back to the point of making the formal request," David Mucci, director for both the Kansas and Burge unions, said. Mucci, who is a member of the Kansas University Memorial Corporation Board, said the board had to refine the language before submitting the proposal to the chancellor and provost. The board finished polishing the proposal June 16 and sent it to Marlesa Roney, vice provost, for approval on June 17. Roney said it was too soon to make a judgment of whether the proposal was ready for submitting. Mucci said he expected a final decision on the proposal this summer. He said he felt the decision would be based on university policies and looking at the larger picture of what alcohol sales on campus could mean. The proposal outlines when, where and under what circumstances alcohol could be sold. According to the proposal, only 3.2 beer would be sold on the first floor of the Union. This area includes Jaybowl and Milton's. Consumption would be limited to this area. "It is possible to make a quick decision," Mucci said. "I assume they know what direction they're going to go in." The Union would offer two to three brands of beer on tap. No drink specials, pitchers, bottles or cans would be available. Beverages would be served in a plain, unmarked plastic cup and served one cup per customer per order. In order to ensure lawful and responsible drinking, trained staff would check IDs, give out wristbands and mark the bands with every drink purchased. The University stopped the sale of beer in 1998 after reviewing requests from a task force composed of KU and Haskell Indian Nations University representatives. The task force was formed after the death of KU student, Lisa Rosel. "This is not an environment to get roaring drunk," Mucci said. "We want to show people you can sit down and have a beer and not get intoxicated." Before 1998, both unions served 3.2 beer. Mucci said he had never heard of any problems and that neither of the unions were ever cited for any violations. Rosel was killed by another KU student, Matt Vestal, when she walked in front of his moving car in the 1400 block of Tennessee Street. Police reported both were intoxicated, but that they had not purchased their drinks at the either of the unions. - Edited by Ashley Michaels CORRECTION Last week's University Daily Kansan contained an error.

Forty-one years after three civil rights workers were beaten and shot to death, an 80-year-old former Ku Klux Klansman was found guilty of manslaughter June 21.

DROSTE edroste@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Every year at the end of the spring semester, campus empties of a majority of its inhabitants. Those who remain keep themselves busy with summer classes and in some cases, a summer job. But finding a summer job in a deserted college town can be a difficult task, often requiring applicants to start looking early in the year. Ann Hartley, associate director of the KU Career Center, recommends students looking for summer jobs start looking locally, in Lawrence and on campus, and start looking early. "It's tougher to find a summer job in a college town because there is less business during the summer after the students have gone," Hartley said. gone. The KU Career Center usually begins posting summer job offers during April and May, Hartley said. Applications for summer internships are posted even earlier, in January or February. Katie Stoker, store manager at Sheridan's Frozen Custard, 2030 West 23rd St., usually begins hiring summer employees during April and May. Stoker hires about 10 new employees for the summer, Sheridan's busiest season, but has to turn away 30 to 40 unfortunate applicants. Those still looking for summer jobs are not necessarily condemned to a summer of poverty. "There is always someone hiring during the summer," Hartley said. "It is just harder to find them once summer starts." Employment agencies can get unemployed students in touch with summer work opportunities. Peter Steimle, manager of Sedona Staffing Services employment agency, 825 Vermont St. said seasonal work such as landscaping and construction became available during the summer. She said many of the students she had met with were struggling to find work strictly for the summer. "I would recommend that students keep an open mind to lots of different kinds of work," Steimle said. "They may have to be willing to work fast food for a couple of months."

Jurors deliberated about six hours June 20 before finding Martin K. Miller, 46, guilty of first-degree murder. He faces life in prison with no parole for 25 years when he is sentenced July 20. Miller's wife, Mary, also 46, was a librarian at the University of Kansas. She died at the couple's home last July 28. Martin Miller, a carpenter, was a leader at the Victory Bible Church and served on the board of the Veritas Christian School, where his two children are students. "I think it's quite evident that he was not walking in the spirit, as he pretended to be," said Leo Barbee, Miller's pastor. "He pretended he was walking in the spirit, that he was faithful. I think that all of us are subject to sin, to adultery, to murder, and it's sad, but I don't condemn him." Carrie Parbs, of Eudora, testified last week about an affair with Miller that began after they met through an adult Internet site. She said they met for what they thought would be a one-night stand that developed into a continuing relationship that included role-playing, bondage and taking photographs, as well as occasional studying of the Bible. The Millers' children, Melodie, 14, and Matthew, 12, testified at the trial about sounds they heard the night their mother died. The prosecution alleged that Miller wanted his wife out of the way so he would be free to pursue sexual relationships with other women and to collect more than $300,000 in life insurance benefits. Miller's attorney, Mark Manna, told jurors there were reasonable doubts that the death was a homicide, that Mrs. Miller may have died of a heart attack. He also said she was aware of her husband's pornography addiction and may have known of the affair as well. "He was not living a deep, secret double life as the state claims," Manna said in his closing argument. Police at first thought Mrs. Miller's death appeared natural, but then noticed that Miller's account of what happened didn't fit with what the children reported hearing. He was arrested after the coroner ruled the death a strangulation. Jobs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 Cheryl White of the Lawrence Workforce Center, 2540 Iowa St., said students should look at state and city Web sites for work opportunities. Students should keep an open mind when looking for summer work and often times will have to settle for less than full-time jobs, White said. Kendra Finney, Overland Park junior, began her summer job in early June. Wanting to gain experience for a future career working with children, Finney decided to take a job as a babysitter. "A lot of companies hire more people during the summer," White said. "But you tend to get part-time hours." Finney works for the Dykstra family and watches Claire, 12, Jack, 9, and Annie, 5, while their parents, Gavin and Brenda, work. She said she enjoyed her job because she got to spend her summer getting paid to play. Finney said she knew it was hard to find a job during the summer and began her search early. Students still looking for a summer job should just keep looking, she said. "They're so much fun." Finney said. "They make me feel like a kid. And it's a good way to make money." "At this point in time you can't be picky," Finney said. "Fast food places are always hiring." Getting motivated to go to work during the summer break can often be as difficult as finding a job. For those who can afford it, taking the summer off from classes and work can make for a relaxing and enjoyable summer, for a while. Hartley said people tended to get bored during the summer and taking a summer job could keep them from sitting around doing nothing. She said students should look at the long-term benefits of summer work. "Look at summer as a break from academics," Hartley said. "A summer job is a new environment. It is a great way to explore what you want to do." If you don't know what you want to do with your life, she said, getting a summer job could help you figure it out. The more experience you get, the better you can make decisions about what you want Hartley said. Kate Whalen, Newtown, Conn. junior does not have a summer job. Fulbright said he decided to work during the summer so he could focus on school during the fall semester. He said he would treat the fall semester as a break from work and the summer break as a vacation from school. Robert Fulbright, Lawrence sophomore, began his summer job in March. He is now spending his break working 60 to 70 hours a week as the Lawrence franchise manager for CollegePro Painters. "Yeah, a summer job is a good way to get money and experience," Whaler said. "But some people just need a break." "It's hard to get a job when everyone is coming back from vacation and looking for work at the same time," Finney said. Finding a job to last through the rest of the year can be just as difficult as finding a summer job. With the fall semester beginning in August, it is not too early to start looking for a job to last the rest of the year. Finney said. She said she recommended students start looking no later than mid to early July. Regents Court 749.0445 regents@mastercraftcorp.com 19th and Mass.

The mechanics at Westside 66 & Carwash,2815 West Sixth St., know this sound. It is the bell inside their garage that signals a customer is at the pump waiting for full service. Full service, like drive-in theatres and soda shops, is almost a thing of the past. Full service includes window washing, an oil check and a full tank of gasoline, something that could fade away with time. Labels defining whether pumps have gasoline that contains ethyl alcohol will soon also become part of the past. The governor signed the bill into law on April 4. It will go into effect on July 1 and gas stations will no longer be required to label their pumps, Kansas law currently requires stations to clearly mark any pump that sells ethanol fuel. The more common ethanol fuel is E10. E10 is 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethyl alcohol. The less common ethanol fuel is E85. The law was passed to protect vehicles that could not perform with E10, said Carole Jordan, director of rural development for the Kansas Department of Agriculture. Vehicles manufactured before the mid '80s were not compatible with the fuel, she said. Jordan said these damages were no longer an issue because cars manufactured after the mid 80s are compatible with ethanol and therefore the law was outdated. "The labeling laws go back to the olden days," Jordan said. "Now, most cars can run on either gasoline or E10." Richard Haig, owner of Westside 66 & Carwash, said E10 would harm these older vehicles. It would dissolve the glues in the charcoal canisters and clog the carburetor's fuel filter. Because most cars are fuelflexible, the Kansas Energy Council proposed Bill 56 to eliminate the required labels and encourage the sale of E10. Scott White, KEC member, said he felt the labels fostered the fear that ethanol would harm all cars. He said removing the labels would open up the door to alternative fuel sources and that ethanol sales would increase. "It's true," Jordan said. in other states where labels were removed, ethanol sales have skyrocketed." Ethanol production is already growing in Kansas, said Sue Schulte, director of communications for the Kansas Corn Grower Association. Six ethanol plants are in operation and a seventh will open in Garnett this July. According to KCGA, Kansas currently has a production capacity of 135 million gallons. The Garnett plant will add another 35 million gallons. Two other plants are in various stages of planning according to KCGA. "I feel ethanol will play a big part in the future," said Curt Wright, vice president of operations at Taylor Oil in Wellsville. "There's no doubt that stations will increase their usage of E10 after July 1." E10 LOCATIONS Wright, who opposed Bill 56, said ethanol sales would increase because right now E10 is less expensive than gasoline. E10 is estimated to be between Citgo 2005 W.

For now, E10 is less expensive but that can always change. Wright said. Haig said the price the consumer pays for E10 could change even if the retailer's cost remained less expensive. Haig said without the labels alerting consumers to ethanol fuels, retailers could price E10 at the "I wouldn't be surprised if all stations do it," Rich Shears, Omaha senior, said. Shears drives his girlfriend's 2003 Honda Civic and is in the habit of filling it up with the cheapest gas. Shears said he did not pay attention to the labels but still felt it was unfair to remove them. "It's taking away a freedom, a consumer's freedom," Shears said. "The intellectual freedom to make an informed decision." Haig wants to make sure consumers keep this freedom. Haig said he was getting a banner that told consumers his garage only sold 100 percent gasoline. He said he planned to hang the banner across a red, mini semi truck that would be in front of the station. Although Haig said he was optimistic consumers would still want gasoline, he said E10 could become more popular than gasoline in the future. But as for now, he said he would fight it as long as possible. Edited by Erin M.

Staff expediently moved one car after another through the park with no major traffic delays the entire weekend. Festival organizers divided the park into two main areas. One housed the campers and a couple of stages; the other was designated for the main stages and registered vendors. Buses, called the No Waka, ran all day shuttling people from one end of the festival to the other. The music festival began June 16 and ended June 19, with campers and other guests enjoying a myriad of activities ranging from listening to music to the use of illegal drugs. A few enterprising individuals developed a homemade version of a rickshaw for people who didn't want to walk or Near the main stages, Sun Up and Sun Down, were the sanctioned vendors. These Other, smaller tents housed disc jockeys and open stages throughout the park. wait for the buses. Even though the crowd had to walk between sites, the music was the main focus of the festival, and accordingly, organizers placed stages throughout the park. In the camping area the audience could go to either a bluegrass stage or another, smaller version of the revival tent. In an expansive field to the southeast of the campsite were the two main stages, called Sun Up and Sun Down. The fields could hold more than 10,000 people each, Aaron Murga, Denver staff member, said. The festival sold out all tickets for June 18 and 19. The other major stage was the Revival tent, which was approximately 1000 square feet. It housed a stage, loading area and audience seating. vendors paid a $300 fee and got the best placement in relation to the main stages. Food, drink and all different types of apparel could be purchased by attendees. Even a massage parlor and tattoo tent were set up in the vendor area. Customers were allowed to take anything they purchased into the designated camping areas, but were only allowed to bring water back into the main stage and vendor area. After three days of this practice, the campsite portion of the park was littered with trash. Crews worked to clean off the streets where people had brought their garbage. Organizers had set up specific trash areas, but by June 19 people began to place it on the side of the street. Patrons began to leave June 19 and continued until the morning of June 20, leaving behind trash and a lot of trampled grass. — Edited by Erin M.

BY ADAM LAND aland@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Sean Piana handed another vendor a couple pieces of pizza for a lemonade and said, "That's the going rate." The New Hampshire resident and Kaplin's Pizza worker said many of the registered vendors who traveled from festival to festival on the same circuit would trade items with each other. The economic theory of the open market was tested all weekend at the Wakarusa Music Festival, as vendors and patrons bought and bartered all weekend for all sorts of items. Vendors, both registered and unregistered, sold wares throughout the park including everything from food to illegal substances. All registered vendor passes cost the same amount of money. The cost was $300 for the weekend, said Amanda Kapper, Lawrence resident and partial owner of the Hot Tea clothing store. The festival's registered vendors, consisting of corporate and local businesses, had the spots closest to the larger stages which were on the southeast side of the park. Registered vendors were issued passes and had reserved areas to camp and park. Kapfer and her associates took turns sleeping behind the shop. "It was easier if one of us stayed behind so we didn't have to pack everything up every day," Kapfer said. Some vendors had the luxury of campers that they converted into restaurants. Kaplin's Pizza, from Louisberg, Pa., has modified campers turned into makeshift kitchens and showcases for pizza. Even the oven, which used to say Pizza Hut, was modified with a little duct tape, to read Pizza Kaplin's. Festival organizers designated specific areas for all registered vendors. But many vendors were not registered and offered a more colorful and diverse lineup of items. Most unregistered vendors paid for regular audience passes and paid to camp, then found a good place to set up their stores, said Austin Aser, Asheville, N. C., salesman. "I don't even own this store," Aser said. "The guy who runs it just asked me if I wanted to work and I didn't have anything else to do." Store fronts lined Shakedown Street, the main street through the camping area, using everything from the backs of vehicles to actual fabricated stands to hawk wares at patrons who crossed by. A few items that vendors sold included food, drinks of all varieties and glass pipes. Much of the food items offered were easy to prepare. The grilled cheese sandwich found its zenith of popularity at the festival, being prepared on everything from hotplates to the palms of hands. The other pervading item besides the grilled cheese was the glass pipe. Vendors sold them at prices that ranged from $30 to $100 depending on the complexity and craftsmanship of the pipe. Drugs and other substances were also One particular "vendor" had the sales pitch on June 19 of "Happy Father's Day, buy some mushrooms." He declined further comment. People would, walk through the crowd discreetly asking "Mushrooms?" or "Acid?" prevalent The festival offered the patrons anything they wanted, Aser said. "You can get good food and drink," Aser said. "You can get anything to make your experience great." —Edited by Erin M.

June 17 began with much the same fervor at the campsite stages, but people were less stationary. People would pack the stages in waves, listening to many dif- The reason for this transiency came from the opening of the main stages, where fans and other listeners were given a taste of bands ranging from Carbon Leaf to North Mississippi Allstars and String Cheese Incident. Thousands of people came for the latter two, filling the Sun Down stage for the hour-plus sets. "This is crazy, there are a lot of people here," Aaron Classi, Topeka senior said. Even after the official music ended, guitars and sing-a-longs could be heard throughout the campsite, with people dancing in and around tents and along the streets. Dancing was a pervasive theme, continuing from the beginning to the end. Fans often took breaks from the nomadic tendency and sat or lay down to listen to one particular band. Matisyahu, Chubby Carrier and Jazz June 18 about 15,000 people were listening, leaving and returning to a number of bands. Mandolin Project played throughout the festival and the crowds for all three grew from word of mouth by the end of the weekend. By June 19, fans were expecting their favorite songs and performances from Matisyahu, a reggae band, and Chubby Carrier, a self-proclaimed Northern Louisiana calypso band. Fans sang along with a Chubby Carrier version of the Todd Rundgren song, "Bang on the drum all day." The festival came to a close with perennial Lawrence players Big Head Todd and the Monsters and Split Lip Rayfield. The '70s band, Little Feat, even did a set on the final day to help close the concert. Galactic, a New Orleans funk band, closed the main stage to a crowd of thousands. Attendees were as likely to hear music ranging from reggae to bluegrass, as they were to see a BMW or a Volkswagen bus. And the music was as diverse as the people attending the concert. —Edited by Erin M. Droste DEATH Tragedies occur during lake festivities BY ADAM LAND aland@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER With no serious injuries through June 18, the Wakarusa Music Festival almost escaped its four days without tragedy. But that was not the case. First, the Douglas County Sheriff's office was called June 19. at 4:15 p.m., for a medical emergency, according to a statement issued by the sheriff's office. A 29-year-old man had stopped breathing at the front gate of the festival, 775 N.1415 Rd. Deputies and Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical responded to the call but found the man deceased when they arrived. He was later identified as William J. Pospisil, Key Largo, Fla., resident. An investigation is ongoing into his death, but at this time the sheriff's office does not suspect foul play. The Douglas County Coroner's office will conduct an autopsy, according to the release. The second possible tragedy is the search for a missing festival attendant. Robert Jensen, a 20-year-old, New Caanan, Conn., man, was reported missing at the Clinton State Park, June 20, according to a sheriff's office press release. The search began Monday evening at approximately 6:30. Jensen was last seen at 2 p.m. June 20, when he told acquaintances he was going swimming. The 6 foot 4 inch,175 pound Caucasian male with reddish brown dreadlocks, was last seen wearing a white T-shirt with a colored collage of squares on the front, long dark shorts with corduroy patches, flip-flops and a Rastafarian-style hat, according to the release. The sheriff's office and the Kansas State Wildlife and Parks Department are searching for the missing man. Anyone with information about the man should call either the sheriff's office at 841-0007, or the Clinton State Park Headquarters at 842-8562. — Edited by Erin M.

A jam band formed on a shared idea of music, which has led it out of Lawrence and around the country. This weekend, the band came home. The band is made up of Lawrence residents Matt Miner, drums; Luke Henry, acoustic guitar; Billy Waasung, electric guitar; Tom Fleming, vocalist and lead guitar; and Derek Hein, bass. BMR played on the campground stage at the Wakarusa Music Festival to a crowd of about 500 people on the evening of June 16, packing the tent with sweaty bodies looking for entertainment or people in search of a break from the June heat. This wasn't the first festival BMR has played this year. Two weeks before Wakarusa the band played a festival in Colorado. After that festival it spent two weeks in the southeast, playing shows in Alabama and Georgia. The pace can be grueling, said Hein. But the band has to hit the pavement to keep what they call the "progression" going. The band wants to grow, not only musically but in terms of its fan base as well. Within the last year the band turned a corner from Lawrence regular to a regional touring band. "Two weeks on, then two weeks off," said Fleming. "We work really hard en the road and see coming home as a reward." Even though the band has been successful the tours are not always set up the same way. Some venues provide lodging and a set amount of money to play, whereas others provide a percentage of door sales and nothing more. Either way the band members feel the touring is something they need to do. "Sometimes we have to sleep in the van because we can't afford a room," Hein said. This devotion toward their music was there from the beginning. Fleming said. Hein and Fleming formed the band about five years ago. The two shared a common interest in music and both played instruments. They began to play and admitted the songs were not as polished as they are now. "We thought it sounded great in the beginning," Hein said. The first show the band played was at Pat's Blue Rib'n Barbecue; 1618 W.23rd St. The band received free beer and food for its performance, a king's ransom in the beginning. During the next five years the band developed and built a solid fan base within Lawrence, and a fledgling fan base in other parts of the country. "I've been listening since the beginning when they used to practice in my basement," Aaron Classi, Topeka senior, said. "Their music has many types and they will play something that speaks to you." BMR constantly reiterated the love it has for its fans and the goal of drawing new ones after each show. The goal, the members said, was not only to get better but to be recognized for what they were doing. And a benchmark for such a goal would be to have someone else do the laundry. Hein said.

Their concert did not start until 12:30 a.m., but this didn’t stop the crowd from dancing wildly throughout the band’s entire show. Kerri Henderson/KANSAN Can you enjoy the summer & earn KU credits?

JUNE 22, 2005 Fake reporter pranks Tom Cruise THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — The London premiere of Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" turned into a war of words after Tom Cruise was squirted in the face by a man posing as a reporter. The 42-year-old actor was in central London's Leicester Square doing press interviews June 19 when a man squirted Cruise with a water pistol disguised as a microphone, London's Metropolitan Police said. but then asked the prankster: "Why would you do that?" As the man gave a barely audible excuse, Cruise said: "Do you like thinking less of people, is that it?" The prankster tried to walk away but Cruise reached across the metal barrier, held his arm and said: "Don't run away. That's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an interview and you do that ... it's incredibly rude." berg denies that media attention on Cruise and Katie Holmes forced a change in the publicity campaign for "War of the Worlds." Police released the men on bail several hours later and ordered them to return to a central London police station June 20. The actor grew increasingly irritated and told the man: "You're a jerk." Police detained the man who squirted Cruise and also arrested three other men who filmed the incident. The four were working on a new comedy show for British TV station Channel 4 in which celebrities are the targets of practical jokes.

Nearly every Internet mock draft has him going in the mid to late first round, with NBAdraft.net and Collegehoops.net projecting Miami to take him as the 29th pick. Kansas coach Bill Self said Simien had worked out for 20 of the 29 NBA teams and expected to see him go between the 14th and 25th pick in the first round. between the 14th and 20th pick in the first round "He's going to be a steal for whoever takes him," Self said. "He's had very good workouts and been given very favorable reports, but there are just so many draftable guys in the draft that it's hard to tell where he could go." Self added that the reason Simien probably won't be a top pick is because of durability issues springing from all of his college injuries. Still, Simien is in a much better position than his fellow teammates, Aaron Miles and Keith Langford, who aren't projected to be picked at all. Kansas coach Bill Self has talked to several NBA teams, though, and said he thinks all three of his former seniors have a chance to be drafted. "I'm hopeful that one gets called in the first round and the other two get called in the second." Self said. Both Miles and Langford have worked out for a handful of NBA squads, and Self said he had heard positive feedback. "I think Aaron has really helped himself out," he said. "I've got more feedback on him than anybody. I've also heard good things about Keith, just not to the same magnitude." The NBA hopes of Miles and Langford don't rest solely on the draft, however. Sometimes going not getting picked can benefit a player, as second round draft picks aren't guaranteed to receive professional contracts. Free agents can choose which teams need their talents the most and try out for them, instead of being tied down to just one team. This could help Miles if a team needs a solid ball handler, or Langford if a team needs a slasher. Self told both Langford and Miles to be ready for either scenario. "I don't think there's an exact formula for getting to the league," Self said. "Some people say it's best to be drafted, but others claim you're better off as a free agent." The other recently-graduated Jayhawk, Mike Lee, may also play professionally next year for the Harlem Globetrotters. He has been offered a position on the roster, but Self said Lee wouldn't make up his mind on what to do for another month or two.

Wright and Mario Chalmers, incoming freshman point guard from Anchorage, Ala., played their first game in front of a Kansas crowd, including close to 1,100 screaming campers and more than 50 loyal Lawrence basketball fans. The week of June 12 through 16 marked the first of 1980 Roderick Stewart, transfer freshman guard from the University of Southern California, also competed in the scrimmage as a first-time Jayhawk. "Camp is one of the best experiences I have had at KU so far," Stewart said. "I met a lot of new people and have had the opportunity to make some new friends." The scrimmage was one game to 60 points, with halftime at 30 points. The game started out slow, but both teams picked it up after halftime. The game was close with junior guard Stephen Vinson hitting a three-pointer to tie it up, 58-58, as the game drew to a close. Referees called a foul on the shirts resulting in a free-throw shot, bringing the score to 58-59 with the skins leading. Then came Wright's turnaround jumper and the end of the game with the skins winning 58-61. kids, having fun," Wright said. "This game shows how competitive we can be and it says a lot about our team." Zach Strauss/KANSAN Although it was just a scrimmage, it was an opportunity for everyone to check out the team and get a feel for what the new freshmen were going to bring to the mix. "It was great playing for the "I think Mario played exceptionally well. He had some big shots, a lot of threes in the beginning," Nash said. "Julian - I felt he hit some good shots and he won the game for them. He has a lot of confidence in his shot." Wright said he didn't feel like people were there to watch the game as much as they were there to check out the technical aspects of the team and its personnel. Historically, at each camp session, incoming freshmen, current players and alumni participate in the scrimmage. Past camp scrimmages have drawn former Kansas players such as Indiana Pacers center Scot Pollard and New Jersey Nets forward Billy Thomas. This session the only players outside the incoming freshmen and current players were Roderick Stewart, transfer freshman, Bryant Nash, former KU small forward, and Lamont Hamilton, St. John's University sophomore.

RAINS brains@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER It took two days for A.J. Van Slyke to realize what he was doing. The former Kansas outfielder, who was drafted in the 23rd round by his hometown team, the St. Louis Cardinals, in last week's Major League Baseball Draft, was involved in a fielding drill on his second day as a Cardinal when a coach stopped him. Even though he had signed a contract and was playing on the same field that months earlier was occupied during spring training by the St. Louis Cardinals, Van Slyke had yet to let it sink in. "You're a professional baseball player," said the coach. "You guys should be making these plays." "That's when it hit me," said Van Slyke. "I was a professional baseball player." The situation was unique for Van Slyke. Not only are the Cardinals his home town and favorite team, his father, Andy Van Slyke, played for the Cardinals for three seasons. In his 13-year Major League career, his dad was a three-time all-star and won five gold gloves. It was his dad who screamed the loudest in the Van Slyke household on draft day. "On the second day of the draft, I was glued to the computer. I was watching and listening to the picks," Van Slyke said. "Somehow, my dad had gotten a hold of my draft number, and they always call out the number before the name, so as soon as they read the number, my dad started screaming. Once I heard them say my name, I didn't know what to say. I was almost dumbfounded." Van Slyke signed on June 10, for a salary of $1,100 a month, and reported to extended spring training, held at the spring training complex of the St. Louis Cardinals, in Jupiter, Fla. After a week and a half of getting to know all of the fellow draft picks, they broke camp on June 18. Van Slyke was sent to Johnson City, Tenn., the Cardinals Rookie League affiliate. The transition from college baseball to professional baseball is not the only transition that Van Slyke had to make. "The Cardinals called the day before the draft, and asked me if I could play first base," Van Slyke said. "I told them I had never played it, but I was sure it was a transition I could make." The switch was not easy for Van Slyke at first, who used the help of his new coaches to quickly learn his new position. "At first it was tough. I took a lot of balls off of my chest," said Van Slyke. "The coaches have been helping me a lot. The difference in one week is like night and day.Today, I only missed one." After a week of playing professional baseball, Van Slyke was happy with how things were going. "The first week has been great," Van Slyke said. "It's been really hot. We get to the park about 7 or 7:30 and are on the field by 8:30. We have been practicing fundamentals, infield plays, bunts, learning how the organization wants things done. Then we take batting practice and scrimmage." CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE KU KANSAS Left fielder A.J. Van Slyke falls reaches for a fly ball during the series finale against Texas, May 8.

The police submitted the aggra- vated battery report to the District Attorney's Office early Thursday morning. The report included jun- ior forward J.R. Giddens, who suffered a laceration on his right calf during the incident. The office will review the report and decide whether charges will be filed, and if filed, against whom. Five victims were listed in the report including Giddens, 20; Marcus Knight, 29; Derrick Newman, 20; Preston Patterson, 28; and Brandon Waggem, 21. Jeremiah Creswell, the man who admitted to cutting Giddens and the four other men, was listed in the original report from May 19 as a suspect. Lawrence Capt. Dave Cobb said although Creswell was injured, he was listed as a suspect and not a victim because he did the stabbings. Cobb said he did not know if Creswell was still listed as a suspect. "By the time it gets charged, everyone could be a victim and a suspect," Cobb said. Currently Creswell is awaiting his June 23 preliminary hearing on an unrelated matter. Creswell, who is being held at the Johnson County Adult Detention Facility in Olathe, is charged with threatening his mother and uncle with a steak knife. His bail was set at $50,000. Cobb said it would be weeks before the office made a decision on whether to press charges regarding the May 19 incident. District Attorney Charles Branson will not be able to make any decisions until a trial he is currently involved in is completed, Cobb said. Cobb said the department did not want to influence a possible future trial. Cobb said he felt confident, however, in the detectives' abilities to sort out witnesses' stories. Detectives interviewed more than 25 witnesses and spent more than 100 hours on the investigation. As for Giddens, Kansas coach Bill Self said he had not reached a decision on whether Giddens would stay on the team. — Edited by Erin M. Droste Van Slyke CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21 Even though his dad was a successful Major League player, Van Slyke developed his own drive to be a baseball player. His dad didn't force him into baseball, and it was A.J. who often asked his dad to help, Van Slyke said. "Growing up as the son of a Major League player, it's in your blood. Baseball is just a part of your life. You have a different perspective of the game," Van Slyke said. "My dad never told me to play. He never dragged me into the batting cage or took me to work out. I was about 14 when I finally asked him to work with me. I was always the one pulling him into the cage." The Van Slyke family made history during the draft last week. Scott Van Slyke, A.J.'s younger brother, who just completed high school, was also drafted. He went to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 14th round. After researching the topic, the Van Slykes said they believed this to be only the second set of brothers to ever be drafted in the same year. 1 Van Slyke Now it is time for Van Slyke to show the Cardinals that they made the right choice in drafting him. After he packed his car and he was ready to report to Florida, his dad left him with one final thought. "He told me that I had my opportunity and that my foot was in the door, which is all I wanted," Van Slyke said. "Now it's up to me. If I'm better than the kid next to me, it doesn't matter what round I was drafted in." — Edited by Erin M. Droste NBA NBA increases age limits for players SAN ANTONIO — The days of jumping from the preps to the pros are almost over. A one-year increase in the minimum age was part of a new six-year collective bargaining agreement tentatively reached June 21 by owners and players. Commissioner David Stern and union director Billy Hunter finalized the deal in principle in New York and immediately flew to the NBA Finals to announce it prior to Game 6 between San Antonio and Detroit. The agreement will replace the seven-year pact expiring June 30. "We're gratified that we were able to avoid a work stoppage," Stern said. "This agreement creates a strong partnership with our players, which is essential for us." Other facets of the new deal will make trades easier, increase pensions for retired players, impose harsher penalties on drug violators and offer teams the option of sending young players for minor-league seasoning.

JUNE 22, 2005 Rovals lose another to White Sox THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO Jon Garland heard the once-familiar boos when he left the game June 21. They weren't for him.Not this time. Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was heckled for pulling Garland with one out in the ninth inning, ending Garland's shot at his third complete game of the season. Garland allowed four hits and became the major leagues' first 12-game winner as the White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 5-1 June 21. STAIRS 12 "I love it," Guillen said of his cold reception from the fans. "As long as they don't boo my players, it's fine with me." The 28,206 fans on hand had no reason to do that, as usual. The White Sox have won six straight to improve their majorleague best record to 48-22, nine games ahead of the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central. The White Sox scored two runs in the fifth and three in the sixth as they improved to 8-0 this season against the Royals, who have lost four of five overall. Brian Kersey/Associated Press "It's easy to get locked in the way it started out, the first few innings were going real quick," Garland said. "It's kind of good it slowed down there in the fifth when we put up run or two. It gave me a little bit of a breather, let me collect myself and I kept the same pace of the game." Kansas City Royals' Matt Stairs slides safely into second base, advancing from first on Tony Graffanino's single, as Chicago White Sox third baseman Joe Crede tries to put a tag on during the fourth inning June 20 in Chicago.

On June 20 the office violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act when it sent out a mass e-mail that shared students' financial and scholastic information. Sharing this information is a violation of the Buckley Amendment to the Higher Education Act found in FERPA, said Ted Frederickson, journalism professor who teaches a class on the First Amendment. The Act protects the privacy of students' records. The e-mail, sent to 119 students receiving financial aid, included everyone's name within the e-mail address list. The office was supposed to send out individual e-mails to these students, alerting them that because of their failing grades they were at "You would only compound the harm to yourself by telling more people. Why make more publicity about something that isn't good in the first place?" Ted Frederickson Journalism professor risk of losing their financial aid. Instead, the office sent out one e-mail, which allowed the students to view the names of the other recepients. Employees at the office realized their mistake on June 21 and sent the students an apologetic e-mail assuring them that actions would be taken to prevent any similar incidents. Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations, said the office would review its e-mail notification policy, work with the general counsel's office to update the policy and provide additional e-mail training for staff. Frederickson said affected students could file lawsuits but advised against doing so. Frederickson said pressing charges would would hurt the student as well as the University. "You would only compound the harm to yourself by telling more people," Frederickson said. "Why make more publicity about something that isn't good in the first place?" CAMPUS Frederickson said the information was inadvertently released and that no one was trying to hurt those students. He said he could see how it happened but was confident another incident would not occur. Besides reviewing and updating its e-mail policy, the office has another option to ensure against another slip-up. The office could seek outside assistance from Proofpoint. Proofpoint is an online security vendor that protects enterprises against unwanted e-mails and viruses and guarantees outgoing mail is compliant with the enterprise's policies. Proofpoint, which works with universities such as Princeton and Brown, offers Machine Learning Technology. Besides blocking spam and viruses, MLX can assure compliancy with FERPA. Once programmed, it can make sure an incident like the one that took place on June 20 never happens again, said Keith Crosley, director of market development for Proofpoint. MLX can do so by pinpointing and stopping outgoing mail that does not meet with policy. MLX would have quarantined that e-mail because it had more than 10 recipients in the correspondence line, Crosley said. Crosley said Proofpoint had made contact with the University but could not reveal specifics. Cohen said he was unaware of any contact. Edited by Erin M. Droste Regents approve latest tuition hike The Kansas Board of Regents, by a vote of seven to two, passed the tuition increase for the University of Kansas last week in Topeka. The increase will start this fall, saidTodd Cohen, associate director of University Relations. Tuition will rise approximately 16 percent for resident undergraduates, and approximately 10 percent for non-resident undergraduates.The increase would bring the 15-hour cost per semester of a resident to $2,368, and for non-residents it would cost $6,932. Graduate students will also see increased rates. Residents will go up $291 total for a 12-hour semester, and non-residents will go up $499 total. The increase is the fourth of five planned increases, which the University instituted after a 15-year decline in state funding, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. The University will receive an additional $8 million from the increase.The money will be used in many different areas.

KU gets $8 million to find male pill BY ADAM LAND aland@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Researchers at the University of Kansas are trying to even the responsibility for birth control by giving men a stab at taking a daily pill. Researchers received an $8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to research reversible male contraceptives. Today only women can take a pill to prevent pregnancy, but KU researchers found a compound, which they call gamendazole, that they hope to make into a pill. It blocked fertility in 75 percent of rats by week three, said Gunda Georg, distinguished professor of medicinal chemistry. The research done so far has been a joint venture between the Lawrence campus and the University of Kansas Medical Center, said Georg, the lead researcher. Joseph Tash, associate professor of molecular integrated physiology, oversees the Med Center side of the project, which conducts the animal testing. "I'm interested in drug discovery," Georg said. "But it works well because I develop the drugs and Dr. Tash administers them." The group began working on a reversible male contraceptive compound, which would later be turned into a pill, five years ago, Georg said. The Institute posted research areas it was interested in seeing research, and Georg was interested. During the next five years Georg and the rest of the team worked to find which compounds induced sterility. To test compounds and combinations of them the team grows E. coli, which is a bacterium, and tests the compound against it. The goal is to have the compound cause the E. coli to create enzymes that will stop fertility. University researchers have thousands of compounds to sift through and combine. Thanks to the new grant, a new set of more than 100,000 compounds are set to arrive at the University. The trick, Georg said, was to find compounds with no toxicity or serious side effects. "Because you're dealing with young people it becomes demanding because you have to have a very safe product," Georg said. Currently the researchers are testing the compounds on rats. With further development and refinement, the compound would be tested on rabbits, then monkeys and finally people. Researchers cannot estimate a time frame of when the drug would be available to the public, Georg said. The Food and Drug Administration would get involved before any human testing would be allowed, Georg said. The idea of male contraception is a great idea, Justin La Mort, Cherryville senior, said. He said that pregnancy was one of the worst things he could think of, and he would take the pill just to be responsible and not have that happen. Kate Zickuhr, Wichita sophomore, said she would have her boyfriend take it. site would have her boy. "I don't trust myself," Zickuhr said. "I think it would be nice to have the extra security." - Edited by Erin M. Droste JUNE 29 - JULY 5, 2005 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5 BTK A. H. W. This image from video provided by the television POOL shows BTK suspect Dennis Rader describing one of the 10 killings to which he pleaded guilty June 27 in Wichita. Rader pleaded guilty to 10 counts of first-degree murder, admitting in a chillingly matter-of-fact voice to a series of slayings that terrorized Wichita beginning in the 1970s. Defendant pleads guilty to 10 murders BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA — The man accused of being the BTK serial killer pleaded guilty June 27 to 10 murders that spread fear across Wichita beginning in the 1970s, recounting with a chilling, almost professorial air how he "trolled" for victims and then shot, stabbed or strangled them. Dennis Rader, a 60-year-old former code inspector and church president with a wife and children, said he killed to satisfy his sexual fantasies. In an account utterly devoid of emotion, Rader described how he used a "hit kit" consisting of guns, rope, handcuffs and tape in a briefcase or a bowling bag. He described his killings as "projects" and his victims as "targets." He talked of his first four victims almost as animals, saying he decided to "put them down." And he said he offered one victim a glass of water to calm her down before putting a bag over her head and strangling her. An unfailingly courteous Rader helpfully corrected the judge on some matters, clarified others, and at one point launched into an almost scholarly discourse on the mind and habits of a serial killer. "If you've read much about serial killers, they go through what they call different phases. In the trolling stage, basically you're looking for a victim at that time," he told the judge. "You can be trolling for months or years, but once you lock in on a certain person, you become a stalker." sentinel person, you become a man. The man who called himself BTK — for his preferred method, "Bind, Torture, Kill" — cannot get the death penalty because the killings occurred before Kansas adopted capital punishment, but he almost certainly will go to prison for the rest of his life. Each count carries up to life in prison. The guilty pleas came on the day that his trial was supposed to start. Sentencing is Aug. 17. Those who watched or listened to him in court on Monday were struck by how utterly ordinary he looked — a balding figure in a tie and jacket, with a neatly trimmed goatee and gold wire-rimmed glasses — and by the air of detachment with which he recounted his grisly crimes. "He was so cold about it," said 19-year-old Jared Noble of Wichita, who listened on the radio. "The way he described the details — heartless — with no emotion at all." For the families of Rader's victims, the grisly confession answered questions that had haunted them for decades. Most of the victims' relatives in court stared silently, though one wiped away tears during Rader's nearly one hour in front of the judge. After the hearing, they were asked by prosecutors to avoid reporters. "Today in court, for the first time, our community and the nation have now heard Dennis Rader reveal that he has committed those homicides," District Attorney Nola Foulston said. "Today we have some resolution." The BTK killer taunted media and police with cryptic messages during a catand-mouse game that began after the first murder. in 1974. BTK resurfaced in 2004 after years of silence with a letter to The Wichita Eagle that included photos of a 1986 strangling victim and a photocopy of her missing driver's license. Rader did not reach a plea bargain with prosecutors. Defense attorney Steve Osburn said the evidence against Rader included a confession, DNA and "personal trophies" taken from his victims. After Rader pleaded guilty, the Rev. Michael Clark, pastor of Rader's church, said: "That's what I hoped he would do."

The Lawrence Jaycees are putting on the city fireworks show again this year at Bureham Park. Second and Indiana streets. This will be the only fireworks display in town because of a city ordinance passed in 2002 banning fireworks. "The use, possession, handling and sale of fireworks in Lawrence/ Douglas County at all is illegal." said Russell Brickell. Douglas County Fire Prevention Officer. "As a private citizen the only thing you can do is partly poppens, snippers and spikes—the novelties." Fireworks are sold in some parts of Douglas County but only on specific days and in designated areas of the county. The county per mits the sale and use of Class C fireworks, the small ones that you can buy at a local stand, during specified hours on July 2 through 4. The law requires that anyone who wants to shoot Class B fireworks, the large fireworks used in shows, must have a permit or a licensed professional on site. Permits can be obtained from the County Zoning and Codes Department. Displays like Burcham Park are legal because they are professionally run and they have a permit. Brickell said Burcham Park has been the home of the city fireworks show for about 10 years now, but the Lawrence Jaycees have been doing it for close to 50, said Gary Saathoff; President of the Lawrence Jaycees. Burcham Park will be closed all day July 4 and will open at 6 p.m. Admission is free and children 12 and under will receive free goodies. The fireworks start about 9:45 p.m. and to fill the time until the fireworks start, two local bands will provide live entertainment. The main band is The Prairie Acre and opening for them are The Ready Brothers. The Jaycees encourage people to bring picnic baskets and blankets, but there will be food vendors available. Saatholl said. "The people that will be in the park we are expecting between 5,000 and 6,000," Saathoff said. "But there are probably 70,000 people watching from different places."

MASTERCRAFT 8 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS JUNE 29 - JULY 5, 2005 ORDINANCE City puts off smoking ban change By LIZ NARTOWICZ lnartowicz@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER After hearing concerns from local bar owners, city commissioners decided to delay amending the city's smoking ban during their meeting on June 21. The commission decided more input was needed from bar and restaurant owners and employees before enacting the ban's amendments. The ban, which prohibits smoking within establishments, originally went into effect in July 2004. Since then, the community has seen much debate over the ordinance, including ongoing court cases and businesses' requests to build decks or patios. The proposed amendments would make it easier for city prosecutors to find bar and restaurant owners in violation of the ordinance. As of now the ordinance requires the city to prove that the owner or manager was aware of the smoker and that he or she took no action to stop the smoker. If approved, the amendments "Restaurant and bar owners have enough to deal with. We shouldn't have to worry about policing smokers." Connie Roach Owner, Hereford House would switch the responsibility of providing proof onto the owner or manager. It would be the responsibility of the owner or manager to prove that he or she was either unaware of the smoker or, if aware, took action. Connie Roach, owner of Hereford House, 4931 W. 6th St., said she felt it was not her duty to enforce the smoking ordinance. "Restaurant and bar owners have enough to deal with," Roach said. "We shouldn't have to worry about policing smokers." Roach is a member of the Appeal to Reason and Tolerance Coalition, the organization that proposed revising the ordinance in March. While city commissioners were considering rewording the ordinance to better define an enclosed area, ART asked for a law that clarified an establishment's responsibility. ART wanted the ordinance to specify what actions an owner or manager must take against a smoking patron. ART recommended that if an owner, manager or employee took those actions, he could not be cited for a violation of the ordinance. According to a letter from Toni Wheeler, a city staff attorney, the city staff believed these changes were unnecessary at the time they were proposed. Wheeler wrote that such an amendment would provide additional enforcement challenges as well. Wheeler went on to write, however, that with time, the staff had reconsidered its position. City staff now recommends that instructions for owners and managers to follow be included within the ordinance. These instructions would require bar and restaurant staff to immediately ask the patron to stop smoking, ask the patron to leave the enclosed area if he fails to cooperate, and finally, take all lawful actions to remove the patron. But bartenders do not always see the patron smoking, Aaron Blair, Leavenworth senior, said. Blair, a bartender at Henry's. 11 E. Eighth St., said there was only so much a bartender could do, especially at bars with separate rooms. Henry's bar consists of four rooms and a deck. "There's no way I could see someone in another room smoking when I'm behind the bar," Blair said. The bar's capacity is 81 and usually staffs one bartender per night. "That's a lot of people to be checking," Sue Mee, co-owner of Henry's, said. Mee said Henry's was lucky because its customers were respectful and went out of their way to abide by the ordinance, but that the law was still confusing. Mee said the proposed amendment seemed odd to her and Henry's other co-owner, Dave Boulter. "We were thinking that it's making us guilty before innocent." Mee said. Another amendment the city staff recommends is to clarify the number of violations within a year. The staff proposed the violations be counted from the date they occurred rather than the date of conviction. This would decrease the chances of defendants evading higher fines. Fines are determined by the number of offenses within one year. A first violation receives a fine not exceeding $100. A second violation within the same year receives a fine not exceeding $200 and so forth. By changing the counting system, it is more likely cited businesses will receive higher fines. No schedule is set for revisiting these proposed amendments. Vice Mayor Mike Amyx said it was fine for interested parties to have dialogue on the amendments but that he felt the ordinance was fine the way it was. "I don't see a need to complicate the ordinance with new language," Amyx said. "I think it's working well." —Edited by John Scheirmqn The University of Kansas Department of Theatre and Film University Theatre Presents The Fantasticks by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt 7:30 p.m. July 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 2005 2:30 p.m. July 10, 2005 Talley’s Folly by Ianford Wilson 7:30 p.m. July 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 2005 2:30 p.m. July 17, 2005 All performances are on Stage Too! in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre Kansas Summer Theatre 2005 STUDENT SENATE TICKETS: The Fantasticks: public $12, senior citizens & KU faculty and staff $11, all students $6 Talley’s Folly: public $10, senior citizens & KU faculty and staff $9, all students $6 Buy tickets for both shows and save!

Grosshans (Matt), Lawrence 2005 graduate, Dianne Yvette-Cook (Hucklebea), Lawrence senior, and Lawrence Henderson (Bellomy), Lansing junior.Matt protected his beloved Luisa as his mom (Hucklebea) threatens them with hedge trimmers during the second act of "The Fantasticks" The 2005 Kansas Summer Theatre will open its season July 1 with America's longest-running musical, "The Fantasticks." "The Fantasticks" tells the classic tale of boy meets girl and their difficult decision to choose between the comforts of home and worldly temptations. The intimate stage, where audience seating is located, is divided into two worlds by a sundial that serves as a fence. One world belongs to the family of the idealistic boy, Matt, and the other to the family of innocent Luisa. Like Romeo and Juliet, the two fall in love despite their fathers' disapproval. Unlike Shakespeare's masterpiece, "The Fantasticks" has a comical and modern twist. John Staniunas, associate professor of theatre and film, directs the play. Staniunas said although he was staying true to the play's original content there were minor adaptations to the story. "As with every production that you do, you try to make it rich for every audience," Staniunas said. "We've added small things like props to update it." The story behind "The Fantasticks" is as timeless as the play itself. As an adaptation from Edmond Rostand's play "Les Romanesques," author Tom Jones and composer Harvey Schmidt created the play in 1959. The play spent its entire run of 17,162 performances at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York's Greenwich Village before closing its curtains in January 2002. Besides honoring the Sullivan stage for more than 42 consecutive years, "The Fantasticks" has graced stages around the globe, including performances at the White House, Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., and a pre-Taliban Afghanistan. It also had a 1984 stint at the University of Kansas' own Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. The KST production is dedicated in the memory of Tom P. Rea, former theatre professor at the University. Rea directed the 1984 production of "The Fantasticks" and died on closing night following a long illness. Cast members from his production along with Rea's family members will attend the July 2 performance. Donations to the Tom P. Rea Memorial Award can be made through the KU Endowment Association. The award is given annually to a graduating senior who wishes to pursue a career in performance arts. Edited by Erin M. Droste PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE The KU department of theatre and film's University Theatre will present the romantic musical at 7:30 p.m on July 1,2, 7, 8 and 9. The musical will run at 2:30 p.m. on July 10. All performances will be staged on StageTool in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. The two-act play will last an hour and a half and will have a 15-minute intermission. Tickets are $12 for public, $11 for senior citizens and KU faculty and staff and $6 for all students.

HURST Kerri Henderson/KANSAN FSI student Ali Womack, Leawood freshman, gets help studying from her RA, Carlos Martinez, San Juan, Puerto Rico, sophomore. Students live in Templin Hall during their session. Leaving home for the first time can be stressful for students. Stress can be caused by homesickness, roommates and, for some, doing your own laundry for the first time. Fortunately for these students, the Freshman Summer Institute at the University of Kansas has extended a helping hand. "At first I was really nervous about getting roommates, but now I'm just excited," said Luke McKee, Topeka freshman. "I have made some great friends at FSI that I will keep into the fall semester." The Freshman Summer Institute is designed to aid undergraduate students in their transition to the University. Students in the FSI program go through an orientation process, earn five credit hours toward their undergraduate degree, receive career counseling and have the opportunity to meet other KU students. two sessions, one in June and the other in July. The June session, which began June 5, goes through July 1 and is well under way preparing 28 high school seniors for their freshman year of college. The FSI program consists of "FSI alleviates and addresses students' fear of college," said Diann Burright, FSI coordinator and assistant director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center. "Students are too embarrassed to say they are afraid to go to college; FSI helps with that." The students enroll in PRE 101, for two credit hours, which is a course designed to introduce students to the University. The course covers topics such as how to use the library and career services. For the remaining three credit hours, students choose among political science, English, African American studies and sociology. graduate coordinator. "Enrollment is about the same from previous years," said Burright. "People are busy and more active and it becomes a challenge to schedule things in the summer, but the interest is there." Activities in the FSI program are not limited to academics and learning about the University. Each student has to complete eight hours of community service by June 25. The services are set up by Zach Kendra, the FSI The first week the students were at the University they attended Tall Oaks, in Linwood, Kan., a low ropes course designed for team building and responsibility. "Through the experience we got a lot closer as friends," McKee said. "It really helped with communication skills." On June 21 there was a student/faculty dinner set up for the students to connect with professors on a more personal level. "It is a chance for students to get to know them as people and not just a person who stands up in front of the class and teaches you things," Burright said. As the first session winds down and students wrap up their summer experience, the hope is that they will come back feeling like sophomores instead of freshmen, Burright said. McKee said, "I know the campus pretty well now and I have the study skills down for when I have four or five classes. so I have definitely learned time management. College gives you a lot more free time and control over how you spend your time. That makes it more fun." — Edited by Erin M. Droste First Management Something for everyone.

A satirical article in The Pitch may not have been as obvious as the local news and entertainment publication would have hoped. The free weekly publication released this week's edition with a cover story entitled "Rebel Hell." The article, which turned out to be a hoax, said that a couple of months ago workers digging in the new Sprint Center came across human remains. The bones, the article stated, were later identified by a University of Kansas history professor named Fletcher Gray. The secretary at the department of history, however, confirmed there had never been a professor by that name at the University. Photo by Allison Long/KANSAS CITY STAR Sprint Center arena.

Editors at The Pitch said they believed readers would realize the story was meant as satire and get the joke. "We thought we put enough references in there that people would get it," Tony Ortega, managing editor of The Pitch, said. "Like live-ammo civil war reenact- Although the article was meant as a farce, The Pitch did not label it as either opinion or entertainment. Ortega and C.J. Janovy, the editor of The Pitch, wrote the article under the pseudonym Cesar Oman. With a second read, the ridiculousness of the article comes out. The University's fictitious professor was said to have written a book entitled "Rebel, Rebel, Your Face is a Mess: Hygiene in the Armies of the West, 1861-65," which is a reference to a David Bowie song called "Rebel Rebel." The format matters in a newspaper if the reader is to take it seriously, said Charles Marsh, professor of ethics at the University's School of Journalism. He said that satire could be allowed if it was packaged correctly, meaning that it should be stated or have its own section. The University Daily Kansan published similar satirical articals last semester for its April Fool's Day edition on April 1, but took precautions. The Kansan printed a fake front page with satirical stories of the campus personalities and happenings. Although the Kansan identified the front page with a disclaimer, "The stories on this page offer only inaccurate news from fake sources, welcome to the world of make-believe," the paper still received calls questioning whether the false front page was true. The Pitch describes itself as "the area's leading news and entertainment weekly," but Marsh was more interested in its mission statement. "I think it increases the skepticism about the profession," Marsh said. "Maybe they're to entertain, but I certainly won't be looking at it the same way again." Edited by Erin M.

O OBITUARY Grad student loses fight with cancer BY ADAM LAND aland@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Margery Ridgeway was not supposed to live more than a year after being diagnosed with cancer. But the University of Kansas graduate student fought it for three and a half years, finally succumbing to the disease in late May. At the end of May, Ridgeway, 61, died in her home in Topeka. She was born in Tulsa, Okla., Roy Ridgeway, her husband, said. She attended Will Rogers High School and the University of Tulsa, receiving bachelor's degrees in both Spanish and secondary education. Ridgeway received a master's degree from Washburn University. Before her illness took hold of her, she was pursuing a doctorate in English as a second language from the School of Education at the University with a minor in indigenous nations studies. Indigenous peoples and their cultures fascinated Ridgeway, who had been to more than one powwow. In the eulogy Karen Mead read at Ridgeway's funeral, she said that it was fascinating to listen to Margery explain the significance of the drumming and flute playing. The fascination with the class work led her to become a teaching assistant at the University and at Haskell Indian Nations University. INTERNATIONAL She was also a volunteer tutor at the Pelathe Community Center, and a participant in the KU Diversity Dialogue Series, which she did "to focus on diversity and the elimination of racism," Mead wrote. Ridgeway had a high-energy level and wanted to do and see as much of the world as she could, Mead wrote, even accompanying her daughter and her daughter's class to France. Ridgeway is survived by Roy Ridgeway, her husband since 1993. She is also survived by her two children Lisa Ready, Topeka, and Bill Henson, Topeka. Other survivors include two step-children, Liese Vanatta, Overland Park, and Doug Ridgeway, Honolulu, as well as nine grandchildren. Mead wrote in the eulogy that Ridgeway taught at the Bert Nash High School in Atchison, teaching people who many "considered unteachable, unreachable or unsaveable." She was more than a teacher and her students knew that, Mead wrote. It was her love of people that drove her to be a teacher, said Sam Wheeler, director of education at the high school. "We attended a lot of events together and she loved people," Wheeler said. "That had to be what gravitated her toward teaching."

During the ceremony key officials sat at a table set up on the altar, standing to recite an oath to keep their work secret and to refuse any gifts that might corrupt the process. The faithful remained silent during the oaths but once the cause was declared officially open, applause rang out, and there were chants of "Giovanni Paolo" and "Santo Subito!" or "Sainthood Immediately!"

Giddens BY AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com KANSAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER The scar measures about five inches across the left side of his stomach. That scar — and about $25,000 in medical bills — is all Preston Patterson has to show for May 19, the night he was gutted outside of The Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St. "I lost the opportunity to work, my physical abilities," Patterson, 27-year-old Lawrence resident, said. He had been helping build and remodel houses before that fateful night. He escaped his eight-day stay at the hospital with his life, but Patterson won't soon return to construction work. Because of the incident, he has lost more than 20 pounds and only recently began eating solid food. His life changed forever when two men, neither of whom he called a friend, decided to get into a fight. "Never met J.R., never talked to him, never shook his hand," Patterson said. Patterson said he and his friend, Marcus Knight, wanted to shoot some pool. They would have arrived before the bar closed if Knight hadn't forgotten his ID. Patterson's girlfriend, however, did see the beginning of the altercation inside the bar. Nadia Zlatanova said she wasn't close enough to hear the exchange of words, but that when she turned around, J.R. Giddens, junior forward on the Kansas basketball team, was chasing a smaller white man and trying to hit him from a distance. The smaller white guy was Jeremiah Creswell, the man who admitted to stabbing Patterson and Knight with a four-inch folding knife. "Of course they kicked the other guy out," Zlatanova said. "They weren't going to kick J.R. out." Zlatanova said Creswell wasn't trying to fight back. She said she had only heard negative things about Giddens. "J.R. is not worth getting stabbed for." Zlatanova said. "Everywhere I go out he's always out. He acts all stupid when his boys are around because they can take care of him. "I'm sure if his basketball players weren't there it would be a different story." She and her friends left the bar about 1:30 a.m. because she could tell something was about to happen. "He just kept standing outside making phone calls right in front of the door." Zlatanova said, referring to Creswell. Patterson said he and Knight passed the argument on their way to the door. "I was being cool. I was like 'You're drunk, buddy" Patterson said. But he didn't stop to see what was going on. Patterson said he pulled on the door handle, but because they didn't make it back to the bar before it closed, it had already been locked. He never even made it inside. "I heard someone coming up behind me, and that's when I felt the sharp pain," Patterson said. "Mark told me I was bleeding." He was caught in the middle of a fight he had no stake in. It happened so fast. He said all he could think was, "They're going to kill this little fella." But Patterson didn't stick around to find out. "It just started hurting more and more and more." he said. He struggled back to his car, which he drove to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine. "My mom told me there was only a few drops of blood in the car," Patterson said. Most of it was in his lap. He said the police were hesitant to believe his story because the answers he gave weren't very detailed. Patterson said "They tried to pull two fast ones on me." Charles Branson, Douglas County district attorney, said the department was not in a position to build on any statements at this time because the investigation was ongoing. Patterson doesn't think his record should make him an uncredible witness. He's referring police questions to a law-ver now. "Everybody has their own opinions on that." Patterson said. "If they're levelheaded people, they'll think he's made mistakes and paid for them." Though Patterson has been to prison twice, he's a changed man. He's not as temperamental as he once was, he said. "You think more about the consequences of your actions," Patterson said about the time he served. "I'm still human. I still have my flaws." He hasn't kept up with most of the media coverage, but the only thing that has really upset him was that Channel 9 used his photo when he asked that it not. Most of what his friends ask him about what they had read, he said, wasn't true. He said he thought the whole situation had been blown out of proportion. Especially now that former FBI agents are involved as private investigators. Patterson said he would most like to put this behind him and return to a normal life. His goal is to enroll at Kaw Valley Votech in the fall and maybe one day become an underwater welder. He has applied for compensation for his injuries under the Kansas Crime Victim Compensation Act. Whitney Watson, spokesman for Attorney General Phill Kline, said there wasn't a percentage cap on compensation for medical bills, but that the act paid out up to $25,000. — Edited by Erin M.

Though he has heard the phrase thousands of times, Corrie Mathews will never tire of it. "It sends chills up and down my spine every single time I hear it"; Mathews, Overland Park junior, said. "If you're not already in the zone, those words will put you there." The zone is where Mathews goes every time he drives a race car. He has worked as a driver for the Richard Petty Driving Experience for the last three years.

"I get paid to travel around and drive race cars at the age of 21. I could die happy tomorrow." "He really didn't play with cars," she said. "No more than other kids did." 2. I could die happy tomorrow. Mathews' passion for racing began when he was just a child after watching a cousin race go-karts. Jana Mathews, his mother, said it was a fluke that he developed an interested in racing. "He really didn't play with cars," she said. "No more than other kids did. His introduction into the world of racing began a lifetime of speed and adrenaline that Mathews said he couldn't picture his life without. If he wasn't driving, he said, he would be working for a team on pit road or as a mechanic—something that kept him close to the sport he loved. "Racing is a part of me in every way, shape and form," Mathews said. "I had this girlfriend once who told me if I didn't stop racing she'd leave me. Boy, I miss her." Mathews' passion for racing is a dangerous one that has led to several accidents. He has suffered torn ligaments, cracked ribs in the front and back and a severe concussion -and all that from just one wreck. "I've been in enough wrecks to know they hurt, they cost money and you need to avoid them," Mathews said. Mathews' racing is a large source of worry for his mother who said that even having grown up with racing, it was a lifestyle she would never get used to. She said after having seen Mathews wreck and how he handled himself, she had confidence that he knew what he was doing.

We would have to stop at Cabela's so my dad could look at the fishing and hunting gear; activities that didn't interest me then and still don't. Recently I made a trip to Village West to eat dinner with my family and while waiting I stopped at Cabela's. The store has a big aquarium with native fish and in the middle of the store is a big display of stuffed, life-size wildlife. If you're still not interested, you and your friends can dress up in camouflage and play hide-and-go-seek. And remember, it's free!

Cabela's and Nebraska Furniture Mart don't seem that appealing, but for students with low funds and a weekend full of nothing to do, Village West offers a wide array of activities to fill an otherwise void day. Village West is located at the northwest corner of Interstates I-435 and I-70, in Wyandotte County. If you are looking to save money and the toll, take Kansas Highway 10 to I-435, but if you are trying to get there fast, just take I-70. Great American Ballpark If you like baseball, but don't want to drive all the way to Kauffman Stadium for a Royals game, head to a T-Bones game. The Great American Ballpark is home to the T-Bones, an independent professional team based in Kansas City. They have games throughout July and tickets are available at the ballpark ticket office. Ticket prices range from general admission. S5. to prime. $14.

Some of the restaurants include LongHorn Steakhouse, Bob Evans, Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que and Applebee's. One of the more popular restaurants in Village West is Cheeseburger in Paradise. Every night the restaurant hosts live music and every Thursday night is karaoke night. The theme is that of an island paradise with a Tiki Bar serving frozen drinks and cocktails. "It's more than just a regular restaurant," said Valerie Brandt, Wathena, Kan., senior "The atmosphere is unlike other restaurants and it's a ABOVE: Besides the merchandise, a fun and free attraction to Cabela's is the wildlife displays, like this scene of an elephant walking a zebra. nior. "The atmosphere is untike other restaurants and it's a great place to go relax with friends, have some drinks and hang out." They stay open later Thursday through Saturday and there is always a line, so get there early or be prepared to wait. Luke said the drive to Village West was easy and that it offered a "nice break from the normal routine of Lawrence." RIGHT:The central display in Cabela's includes lifelike scenes of mule deer, caribou musk ox, and several other animals. Several customers take a few minutes to walk around the display and capture a few snapshots of the animals. To this day when I hear the word Cabela's, I think of long road trips with the family. We would have to stop at Cabela's so my dad could look at the fishing and hunting gear; activities that didn't interest me then and still don't. Recently I made a trip to Village West to eat dinner with my family and while waiting I stopped at Cabela's. The store has a big aquarium with native fish and in the middle of the store is a big display of stuffed, life-size wildlife. If you're still not interested, you and your friends can dress up in camouflage and play hide-and-go-seek. And remember, it's free!

The store is located near other attractions such as the Kansas Speedway and Cabela's. Nebraska Furniture Mart Dad wanted to go to Cabela's and mom just had to stop at Nebraska Furniture Mart "real quick." I know when I was younger I would walk around following my parents while they looked for couches or bedroom sets. Now that I am older I can go by myself and look at stuff that interests me, like TVs. It is also a great opportunity to get a free massage. Just go to the section where the massage chairs are, sit down and enjoy a complimentary massage. "I like to go look around there because one day hopefully I'll have enough money to actually buy instead of look," said Brian Luke, Walnut Creek, Calif., senior. Coming attractions New developments are currently taking place in the Village West area. The Legends Shopping Center, a 750,000 square foot entertainment and retail shopping center, is coming in Fall 2005. It will include Dave and Buster's, an adult arcade, and two new restaurants, T-Rex and Bozo's Hot Pit Bar-B-Q. Another new project, The Legends Theatre, will be open this summer. The 14-screen theatre will be home to "the largest screen in the metro area," said Nathan Vanice, senior manager for Zimmer Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc. It will also have luxury seats and a balcony with a bar. "It's a major destination retail development that draws from the local metropolitan area and the Midwest," Vanice said. "For Kansas and northern Missouri, up to the St. Joe region, it becomes a major draw for the uses that it offers the people from the surrounding area."

Em saves Fourth DETROIT - A huge annual fireworks display is expected to get a fundraising boost from Grammy-winning rapper Rimmem. Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers ill, grew up in the Detroit area and lives in suburban Rochester Hills. "The fireworks are a big part of summertime in Detroit, and I want to support them and the mayor," the rapper said in statement. "I've come downtown to watch them since I was a kid, and I'll get involved in something that helps the city my way I can." This year's fireworks had been threatened by a budget dispute. Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick initially threatened to cancel the show, saying budget cuts prevented adequate police presence, but later retracted that threat. Eminem agreed to perform one song to open a fundraising party on June 29 after Kilpatrick sought his support for the event, organizers said. About 2,000 tickets are expected to be sold for the $175-a-ticket party, organizers said.

He seeks your actual questions, so put on your thinking cap and then send an e-mail to mistercollege@kansan.com. In the interim, the editors will provide the questions. Dear Mr. College Answer Person, I have heard of people buying and selling their textbooks on the Internet, is this a good idea? While our local bookstores do offer you a convenient place to buy and sell books, there are places in cyberspace where you can get a better deal. For buying books, the most efficient way to find the lowest price is by using Web sites who do the searching for you. The most accurate way to search for your book is by ISBN number. You can go to one of the three local textbook stores to find the ISBN number you need, and then plug that number into the Net when you get home. The prices of online book retailers are often cheaper than those of the local bookstores because the e-seller incurs little overhead cost. Textbook manager of Jayhawk Bookstore Bill Madl said the biggest concern when using online retailers was buying the correct book. Another drawback to online book-buying is that shipping can take more than a week. If you are in a situation where your books will not arrive before class starts, you can always go to the book- store and buy a temporary book. The Internet is also a useful tool when the local bookstore will not buy your book back. The best time to try is during the textbook rush at the start of each semester. If you have a credit card and bank account, both Half.com and Amazon.com allow you to set up a personal seller's account. With this, you can set your prices and wait until a buyer comes along. If your book sells, these sites charge you a 15 percent commission fee, but the buyer pays shipping costs. There is also a local alternative to using the bookstores. The Student Book Exchange, sponsored by Student Senate, facilitates book deals between KU students. Go to www.ku.edu/~book to browse its selection or list your books.

Warren Middle School in Leavenworth, Kansas. Simien had just been selected by the Miami Heat in the 29th pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. Dreams come true in NBA draft BY KELIS ROBINETT krobinett@kansan.com KANSAN SPORTWRITER LEAVENWORTH — Wayne Simien fulfilled his life long dream June 28, when the Miami Heat drafted him with their first round pick. Never mind that the former Kansas forward, who was once thought to be a lottery pick, fell to the 29th selection overall. Simien was thrilled just knowing he would get to play at the next level. "Today is my day," he said. Not to mention the fact that he'll be living in Miami, Florida and playing alongside Shaquille O'Neal for a title-contending team. "I was going to be happy wherever I went," Simien said. "But going to a winning team with two superstars, one of whom is the most dominant player in the league (O'Neal), and the other is a rising star (Dwayne Wade), is obviously amazing." The most surprising moment of the day, for Simien, was not the way he fell to the next to last first round pick. Rather, it was the fact that he traveled 28,000 miles to work out for 16 different NBA teams and not a one chose him. "I never actually made it to Miami," Simien said. Leigh Steinberg, Simien's agent, offered an explanation. Simien said he was never worried about slipping out of the first round, because Miami Heat President Pat Riley called him to say that if he was available they were picking him. "It was the possibility of Wayne playing along side Shaq that intrigued them," Steinberg said. "Being a part of that 0.0001 percent of players that gets drafted," Simien said. "That's a real honor. He truly didn't seem to care who drafted him, though. By being selected in the first round, Simien will receive a guaranteed two-year contract with the Heat that features a two-year option. Steinberg said one of the reasons Simien was always a lock for the first round was the stellar character he showed during his four years at Kansas. "We found out today that character does matter," he said. "Every team we talked to gave us great feedback in that area and it considerably helped our cause." When asked what he would do with his new-found fortune, Simien said he had prematurely bought a present for his dad, which he promised him when he was 11 years old. "I already got him a boat last week," he said. Simien watched the NBA draft from his house in Leavenworth, and then went to celebrate with hundreds of adoring fans and media at Leavenworth's Richard W. Warren Middle School. The crowd erupted as the Heat drafted him, and got even louder when he showed up in person. After speaking with the media, he went to the school's auditorium and gave a speech to his fans, who began showing up at 6 p.m. to congratulate him. Simien couldn't stop smiling throughout the process, and said he was heading to Miami June 29. 24 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 1. NEWS JUNE 29 - JULY 5, 2005 Senior guard Mike Lee takes the ball down the court in the first half against Vermont Dec.8. Lee declined to play for the Harlem Globetrotters, but has hopes of finding an opportunity with an international team. KANSAS 2 KANSAS 25 Kansan file photo ▼ MEN'S BASKETBALL Lee passes up offer BY ASHLEY MICHAELS amichaels@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER It's no secret that when a player attends the University of Kansas to play men's basketball, he hopes to leave with a nice signing bonus and a contract to play in the NBA. But former guard Mike Lee left with the hope that he could just keep playing basketball. "I just want to go wherever someone's going to offer me a job," Lee said. Lee said he planned to sit down and watch the June 28 draft, not so much for his own sake, but because three of his former teammates, Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles and Keith Langford, were anxiously waiting to see where they were going, when they were going or whether they were going anywhere at all. "I'm going to watch the draft, it should be interesting to see where Aaron, Keith and Wayne go," Lee said. "I know some other guys in the draft, so I'll be watching this one a little closer than others." No doubt Lee was watching, though, because his name was automatically entered in the draft along with the rest of the NCAA Division I men's basketball seniors' names. But he didn't have any expectations concerning himself in the draft. "I would totally be surprised if somehow my name got called," he said. Even though his hopes weren't high and he wasn't on the bubble like some of his fellow Jayhawk seniors, Lee still has options. Shortly after he graduated from the University, Lee was offered a contract by the Harlem Globetrotters. The offer would have covered him from June 20 through the team's training camp at which point they sign the players with bigger, better deals, Lee said. "Mike is the type of guy that any CEO of any company would want working for him," Self said. "He is loyal, dependable and a hard-worker. He will have the chance to play basketball for a long time if he chooses to." egger, better deals. Lee turned down the Harlem Globetrotters' offer. "I felt like I wanted to play competitive basketball," Lee said. "Some of what the Globetrotters do is competitive, some is not. It's more for entertainment. I don't see myself doing that, at least not right now in my career." Since he turned down the Globetrotters, he has decided to attempt an international career in basketball. Right now he is talking to some agents about finding a place for him on an overseas team. Whatever he does, his former coach, Bill Self, has no doubt he will succeed. — Edited by Erin M.

Kerri Henderson/KANSAN Greg Ostertag, center for the Sacramento Kings, said he was excited to come back and play in the camp scrimmage, but was sure the alumni were "going to get thumped." Former Jayhawk forward/guard Nick Bradford also attended the scrimmage and was impressed with the players. "This is probably the best alumni team to play in a camp scrimmage that I have ever seen," Bradford said. "The only one we were missing was Paul Pierce." Following the game, former Jayhawk forward/guard Nick Bradford said it was always a great experience to come back and see people he hadn't seen in a while and play against the younger guys. "It is good for the program and good for the kids to see the history Kansas has and how it continues to go on." Bradford said. The first camp scrimmage produced one alumnus, Bryant Nash. Two of the incoming freshmen, Julian Wright and Mario Chalmers, played in front of their first KU crowd. Word got out that several former players were returning for the second scrimmage and Jayhawk fans flocked to the Horejsi Family Athletic Center close to two hours before the start of the game at 3 p.m. Incoming freshman guard/forward Micah Downs, Kirkland, Wash., was the only new face in the current players line-up. The commotion began when former guard Mike Lee ran out and started greeting campers. Following close behind Lee were former center Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich, Ostertag, Bradford, Drew Gooden, Billy Thomas, Steve Woodbury and Danny Manning. Jacque Vaughn served as honorary coach for the alumni team, while Moulaye Niang coached the current players. David Losey, St. John resident, said it was fun to see the former players come back. "Guys like Woodbury and Bradford who haven't made it to the NBA yet, it's always good to see them play," Losey said. The game started out as Ostertag predicted. The current KU players, in blue shirts, came out strong and the former players, in red shirts, kept turning over the ball. The blue team experienced its biggest lead early in the game when the score reached 13-7. It was neck-and-neck leaving the game tied at halftime, 50-50.

Please provide me with a specific topic or question to be addressed. I'll provide you with the necessary resources and guidance to ensure a high-quality paper. KELLIS ROBINETT KROBINETT@KANSAN.COM It looks like the Southern Methodist University football team of 1987 will forever be the only sports program to receive the death penalty from the NCAA. With Baylor's men's basketball team receiving only a five-year probation and the loss of its upcoming non-conference season from the NCAA last week, it's hard to think any athletic scandal will ever again justify the ultimate sanction. If the NCAA were serious about doling out another death penalty, this was the time to do it. Baylor men's basketball is already in the Big 12 cellar, the team's revenue isn't crucial to the University, and the events In 2003, former Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy was murdered by former teammate Carlton Dotson, who received a 35-year prison sentence after confessing to the crime. In an attempt to his wrongdoing, Bliss told his players to lie to investigators and say Dennehy's money came from selling drugs. that occurred in Waco, Texas certainly warranted the harshest possible punishment. Once an investigation began, it was discovered that former Baylor head coach Dave Bliss paid up to $40,000 in tuition for Dennehy and another player. The mess got so out of hand that officials at Baylor told reporters last week that they considered self-imposing the death penalty. Any school that is found to have two major NCAA violations cases within a five-year period gets automatic death penalty consideration, and Gene Marsh, chairman of the Division I Committee on Infractions, Baylor was considered a repeat offender, as its tennis program received punishment in 2000 for violating NCAA rules. Ultimately, though, the committee backed off because of Baylor's cooperation throughout the process. "We considered this to be a death penalty case," Marsh told reporters. "We were there, and then we took a step back." To be fair, Baylor handled the situation well, but it seems likely the NCAA decided to ease up on Baylor because, when it made an example out of SMU football, the program never recovered from the punishment. In the SMU case, the death penalty was issued because school officials had shown a blatant disregard for the rules and gained a competitive advantage in the process. thought about handing out the sentence. The NCAA barred SMU's football team from playing its 1987 season after 21 players allegedly received a total of $61,000 in cash payments from boosters. The University then decided to cancel its 1988 season as well. The SMU football team was left in ruins, as it went from a competitive team in the Southwest Conference to a doormat in the Western Athletic Conference. Next season, SMU enters Conference USA. Since the school started fielding a football team again, arguably its greatest accomplishment is defeating a Terry Allencoached Kansas team in 2000. Needless to say, the Mustangs haven't been to a bowl game since their football fatality. SMU surely lost money and publicity by not having a football team — which is a big deal in Texas. The NCAA certainly had to think twice before doing the same kind of harm to a Big 12 school. The NCAA also had the opportunity to give the death penalty to Alabama's football team in 2002 when it discovered, among other things, that boosters gave two recruits five-figure payments, but settled for a two-year bowl ban. Other close calls were in 1994 when Washington and Ole Miss each received two-year bowl bans for similar violations. Though Baylor's penalty didn't include any post-season bans, it was far worse than any of the above reprimands, especially because it was added onto Baylor's already self-imposed three year probation. It's obvious this is the worst type of punishment we will see the NCAA hand out from now on. The NCAA's decision to avoid imposing the death penalty sets the precedent that something worse than a murder and attempted cover-up of wrongdoings is required to get the ax. It's hard to imagine what that might be. Robinett is an Austin, Texas, senior, in journalism. He was the Kansan spring Big 12 basketball reporter.

Longhorns add 6th title THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OMAHA, Neb. — A year after watching another team celebrate at the mound, Augie Garrido's Texas Longhorns punctuated their sixth College World Series title with a pileup of their own. "It's mandatory for us to be here and it is a relief," the Texas coach said. "If we fall short of being here, we've fallen short of our first level of expectations." Blending power pitching from closer J. Brent Cox and starter Kyle McCulloch with an unlikely spark from No. 8 hitter David Maroul, Texas beat Florida 6-2 on June 26 to win the national championship. Texas (56-16) won five elimination games just to qualify for a berth at Omaha and then swept five straight, including two from the Gators in the best-of-three championship round. "We got hot at the right time. It was hard to stop us. It all came together at the end for us." said Cox, who got the final five outs Sunday, including a title-clinching strike-out to end the game. "It definitely wasn't easy. It was tough." Maroul homered and drove in four runs for the Longhorns, who last won in 2002 and fell short last season when they lost to Cal State Fullerton in the championship series. Texas is used to winning on college baseball's biggest stage, with more CWS appearances (32) and victories (78) than any other school. The Longhorns' six titles are second only to Southern California's 12. "You can't be a national champion without the right things happening," Garrido said. "That's the spirituality of it all. You have to trust it will happen." It was the fifth CWS title for Garrido, who has won two with Texas and three at Cal State Fullerton. "We thought throughout the season we had a national championship-type team," Garrido said. "We all knew coming in this team was one with experience. But it's one thing to have experience and another thing to be able to use it." Florida (48-23) was making its fifth overall appearance at the College World Series and first trip in the championship round. The Gators couldn't get their offense going until they were behind 6-0 Sunday. They lost Saturday night's opener 4-2 when a late rally fizzled. Florida coach Pat McMahon acknowledged that Texas' experience four straight Omaha appearances was a plus. "When your players have been here, it is a help, an asset, because you know the expectations," McMahon said. "I do think it was a factor, but we were ready to play." But the Gators batted just .212 during their six games at Rosenblatt Stadium. "I was disgusted with myself for not showing up these last two games," said Gators star center fielder Jeff Corsaletti, who was 0-4 for 8 in the championship round. "I thought we were a better club than we showed and we got away from our usual approach," he said. "We didn't take advantage of the very few chances we did have." McCulloch (12-4), a 6-foot-3 sophomore right-hander, struck out eight Sunday, walked one and gave up five hits in 6 2-3 innings, including a two-run homer to Brian Leclerc in the seventh. "Once we got ahead and put up an early lead, the hitters tend to press and then I tried to extend the strike zone," McCulloch said. Chance Wheeless, who hit a game-winning homer against Baylor earlier in the CWS, had a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth to put the Longhorns ahead 3-0 and drive out Florida starter Bryan Ball. Taylor Teagarden doubled off reliever Connor Falkenbach and, following a walk, Maroul hit a three-run homer to left-center to put the Longhorns ahead 6-0.

David Johnston, director of marketing for the University of Kansas, announced on July 5 that the new logo was the letters "K" and "U" in blue, Trajan typeface. Johnston said the new logo was an addition and not a replacement. "The new logo is to fill in the gap between the fun and informal Jayhawk and the formal and official seal," Johnston said. The Visual Identity Committee recommended this particular logo, out of the four proposed, to Chancellor Robert Hemenway earlier this week. Hemenway signed off on his choice on July 5. Hemenway said the need for the new logo came from the lack of unity between the assortment of schools on campus. He said the University lacked a symbol that brought all the schools together. "The way we tell our story to the public is different depend ing on the school," Hemenway said. "We want one that will share our facts and information." The new logo is intended to unify schools as well as promote the idea of academic rigor in a friendly and approachable way, Johnston said. Johnston said several symbols, including sunflowers, stars, wheat and the Campanile were originally considered. But after conducting surveys, Johnston said, the committee found that the letters KU best encompassed their message of unity. LandreyMorrow Inc., a design firm based in Portland, Ore., was paid in private funds to create four logos for Hemenway to choose from. Each logo consisted of the letters "KU" in different fonts. Trajan, the new logo's typeface, is currently in use at the University. It is on the James Naismith Court in Allen Fieldhouse and in use at the University of Kansas Hospital and Kansas Medical Center. The four designs were posted on the Internet for interested parties to view and comment on. Johnston said the logos received can be viewed at www.urku.edu/marketing.

S ▼ LOCAL GOVERNMENT Liquor laws to change BY LIZ NARTOWICZ Inartowicz@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER City commissioners will hear comments from the general public and local establishments on July 26 before deciding on the status of liquor sales in Lawrence. In an effort to make liquor laws uniform across the state, the Kansas Legislature approved a new law that requires cities to adopt one of three new ordinances. Lawrence currently operates its liquor sales under its own charter ordinance. The city created the charter ordinance in 2003 to allow the sale of alcohol on Sundays. Under this charter ordinance, liquor stores and bars are allowed to sell alcohol on Sundays between the hours of 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Normal business hours for liquor stores are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Businesses were still prohibited from selling on certain holidays such as Independence Day and Easter. Approximately 20 other cities in Kansas created similar charters ordinances. The new law became effective on July 1 and will nullify the city's charter ordinance on November 15. City commissioners have until August 2 to make a decision on Sunday sales. The new law provides the commissioners with three options. The first option is for Lawrence to become a dry city and no longer allow the sale of alcohol. City staff is not pursing this option, said David Corliss, assistant city manager and director of legal services. The second option is to discontinue the sale of alcohol on Sundays. The third option is to continue the Sunday sales but with minor changes. If Sunday sales continue, the new law requires the sale of 3.2 percent beer to be permitted at grocery and convenience stores on Sundays. Currently, no such purchases can be made on Sundays. Business hours will also be modified. Instead of 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., sales would occur between noon and 8 p.m. Holiday sales, including Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day would be allowed. At the June 28 city commission meeting Spencer Duncan, owner of World Wine and Beer, 3106 S. Iowa, Suite 201, encouraged commissioners to consider the retailers' and citizens' opinions. Duncan said he thought liquor stores would be split down the middle while grocery stores would unanimously be for adopting the third option. Ken Johnson, executive team leader of Super Target's grocery department, said allowing grocery stores to sell 3.2 percent beer on Sundays would be beneficial to consumers and stores. Patrick Miller, supervisor of Alvin's Wines & Spirits, 4000 W 6th St., said allowing grocery and convenience stores to sell on Sundays would not hurt business. If anything, it would help business he said. Chris Wiltfong, assistant director at the Hy-Vee, said the new ordinance might help by providing another day's opportunity to sell 3.2 percent beer but that it did not sell as well as the 5 percent beer found at liquor stores such as Alvin's. Jon Smiley, manager of Cork & Barrel Wine & Spirits, 2000 W 23rd St., said the possibility of 3.2 percent beer sales on Sunday was not a threat. What was a problem was the possible change of hours, he said. "People aren't out at 8 shopping on Sunday." Smiley said. Smiley said come football season, if the third option is chosen, it could affect business negatively. "Games start at noon. People are going to want to buy before the game starts," Smiley said. Corliss said he would research the possible effects of each ordinance option. Whatever the commissioners decide, citizens will have the opportunity to petition, Corliss said. — Edited by Erin M.

But the Sesquicentennial Commission and the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department have big plans for this 1,600-acre sight near Clinton Lake. The park is located northeast of the dam, and the commission has already collected more than $195,000 of its goal for $300,000 for the project. Plans for the plaza include four concentric half-circles that represent 50-year increments of Lawrence's history, as well as a plaza at the top of the hill, which overlooks the entire park. Both the commission and the parks and recreation department have plans to put in an amphitheater, which would hold approximately 5,000 people, said Fred DeVictor, director of Parks and Recreation Department. The commission will continue to raise funds until September 1, when the plans for the point are due, Clenece Hills, president of the commission, said. Patrons can tour the point, which is open every evening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. so people can watch the sunset. The sunset hours are set up to entice people to the point, Hills said, but she was not sure how many people were visiting it. STONE VIEW WALL ASTROBOT WALL COLUMNS BY BIRD ACCOMMODATION WALL ACCOMMODATION WALL ACOMMODATION WALL LARGE BOOKING STONE WALL ROUND FURNITURE GATHERING PLAZA Hills wanted to get all of the money raised by September 1, but said it was possible that it would not happen. "It may have to go a little slower than we would like, but we still have some people who we think may be interested," Hills said. Funds have come predominantly from sales of commemorative pathway stones, which are about one foot by four feet. Each brick will represent one year of Lawrence's first 200 years. The cost for each brick will be one dollar for each year, so the 1890 brick would cost $1,890. The University of Kansas bought the stone representing 1865, the year of its creation, Hills said. Other notable years still available include 1861, the year of Kansas' statehood, 1954, Lawrence's centennial, and bricks to commemorate the lives of authors Langston Hughes and William S. Burrows. No other fundraising events are planned by the commission so far, Hills said. Although the commission is working to make sure all aspects of the plaza are funded, the parks and recreation department will have control over the plaza and the entire 1,600 acres, DeVietor said. Parks and Recreation representatives will meet with the commission sometime in August to discuss the amount of landscaping that can be done with the funds available, DeVictor said. The park will continue to be developed for possibly 20 years, DeVictor said, comparing the Sesquicentennial park and point to that of Lawrence's Centennial Park. "Centennial Park, a gift in 1954, has been ongoing, even within the last couple of years," DeVictor said. "This park will be the same." The total cost for all the proposed installments to the park will be substantially more than $1.5 million, with the possible amphitheater costing approximately $1 million alone, DeVictor said. -Edited by Erin M.

Mike bought his Pontiac V6 GT in March and makes sure to keep it as clean as possible. BY ASHLEY MICHAELS amichaels@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Games of army and cops-and-robbers were not a part of his childhood, and it was never his dream to go to a foreign country and fight for a cause he didn't believe in. Yet that is exactly what Mike Berry, Lawrence junior, is preparing to do this summer. "I don't want to die for anyone," said Spc. Berry. "This is not a cause I want to die for." In fact, he never even wanted to be in the army. "The only reason I joined was for college money." said the 24-year-old sports management major. Berry leaves July 14 for Sioux City, Iowa, for three weeks to attend "training that everyone has to go through before they go to Iraq," as Berry put it. After training he heads to Fort Riley, Kan., for an undisclosed amount of time. When he The first time Jackson got the news that her son was going to Iraq she said, "I felt quite a bit of fear for him, it was the beginning, there was a lot of danger, I was just fearful." The first time he was called up, he trained for 3 months, got sent home and never made it to Iraq, Berry said. Finding out that you are going to another country to fight in a war is not news you hear everyday, but for Berry it's not unusual news. This is the second time he's been called up, said Dara Jackson, Berry's mother. finishes his time at Fort Riley, it is just a waiting game to find out when he will get shipped off to Iraq, most likely later this year, Berry said. Now she's used to getting the bad news and has found ways to deal with it, she said. "He will go and have whatever experience he is supposed to have and come back and move on with his life," Jackson said. "I've learned to pray about it and trust God for the outcome.

He said even though he wished he could finish the three semesters of school he had left, he wanted to honor his obligation. He said it would give him the experience he needed to be a good leader for the soldiers he would be in charge of if he chose to stay in the army. Berry said he was more anxious than scared about going to Iraq. "I probably won't be scared until I get on the plane to go over there," Berry said. "I don't really know how to feel because I don't know what to expect." Berry said he considered his future in Iraq a challenge. "I like challenges because I think after you conquer a challenge it makes you stronger and better," Berry said. "This will be a challenge and hopefully it will make me a more mature person and appreciate life more." Moving back and forth his entire childhood from San Jose, Calif., to Lawrence, he finally settled in 9th grade at Free State High School. After graduating from high school in 2000, Berry took one semester off before attending the University of Kansas in the spring 2001 semester. In the summer of 2001 he joined the army, attending basic training in Fort Knox, Ky. He said one of the biggest challenges of all, though, has been maintaining a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend, Susan Massey, also a junior at the University. Massey has been in Iraq since November 2004. The two met in a black leadership class, not knowing that the other was in the army, Berry said. Massey is in the National Guard and Berry is in the Reserves. Berry stands in full army fatigues by the familiar ornament studded tree in his mother's front yard. Mike leaves for training July 14 and will be sent to Iraq following the completion of his training. "She's been gone almost eight months and we've been together for a year and two months," Berry said. "It sucks that a lot of our relationship has been spent with her in Iraq and it will be another year while I'm over there." Berry will likely leave for Iraq right around the time that Massey finishes up her year of service and returns home. Berry said. Berry works full-time at Wal-Mart and tries to stay in shape by doing sit-ups and push-ups, swimming and playing basketball whenever he can. — Edited by Erin M.

Kerri Henderson/KANSAN Skate shop, restaurant open during summer BY ADAM LAND aland@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER White Chocolate, 1005 Massachusetts St., and the Chartroose Caboose, 1606 W.23rd St., will attempt to become established in the local retail and restaurant environments. Two new businesses are trying to take hold in Lawrence this summer, the off-season for most KU students. Rod Smith, owner of White Chocolate which opened June 21, said the summertime opening had its advantages. White Chocolate is a skate shop selling skateboards, accessories and apparel. Summer is the peak season for boards, Smith said because schools are out of session. The new store will be the company's first franchise. The original store is located in Hays, Smith said, and did well. Lawrence seemed like a logical place to put a skate shop because of the skate park and the absence of any other dealer on Massachusetts Street, Smith said. The shop's interior is not finished, with bare floors and few decorations. But Smith said that is just for now, the store will get more items and more amenities. The Chartroose Caboose shares the bare look. Tentatively scheduled to open July 18, the American restaurant, well-known for its Philly cheese steak, is in the midst of a total face lift, Bret Wiedner, KU graduate and general manager, said. The original Caboose is located at 105rd Street and Metcalf Road, in Overland Park, near to where Wiedner grew up. "My father, brother and I used to go there all the time." Wiedner said. "It was always one of the places we wanted to eat." The family had always joked about opening a franchise of the restaurant. A year and a half ago Wiedner's father, Ben, was in Lawrence talking with the owner of the original Chartroose Caboose. The owner told him he was thinking about franchising the business and they began talking and formulating a plan, Bret Wiedner said. Ben Wiedner provided the capital for the venture with the understanding that Bret and his brother, Lance, would run the business. Currently, Bret is the general manager, and his brother is a manager. Both Bret Wiedner and Rod Smith said it was a good thing their businesses were opening during the summer, because it gave both a transitional period. "We don't have to worry about opening and being saturated with customers," Brett Wiedner said. "It gives us a chance to break our staff in." Smith acknowledged his business may not have as many customers at first as he would like, but he shared Wiedner's sentiment, and said the summer gave the business time to figure things out. Although there may not be as many patrons during the summer, because most KU students are out of town, summer can afford businesses a time to collect themselves and train staff members, said Alicia Janesko, director of economic development for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Both Wiedner and Smith agreed that by the time the majority of students return, their businesses should be prepared to handle an increase in patronage. - Edited by Erin M. Droste JULY 6-JULY 12,2005 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 9 RECREATION MARINA ROAD 2.1 MILES Susan Pfannmuller/KANSAS CITY STAR Runners like Kyle Amos and Ben Holmes prefer the rough terrain of park trails to pavement in places like Clinton Lake near Lawrence. All-terrain running becomes all the rage BY EDWARD M. EVELD KANSAS CITY STAR KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When most people get home from jogging, their shoes aren't covered in mud. Their socks aren't soggy. No one's checking for ticks. These people are not trail runners. Trail runners jog, run, scramble, walk even wade through their workouts and return exhilarated not only by the exercise but also by their connection with nature. Which is why they head to the shower and exfoliate their ankles: Was that poison ivy crowding the trail? Trail running is big in places like California and Colorado. Photos of the sport in running magazines always feature a mountain for a backdrop, unless it's an ocean. Runners use hiking, mountain-biking and equestrian trails for outings that can last 50 minutes or literally hours on end. They see wild turkeys and bobcats and sometimes have to call out to deer blocking the trail ahead. Mark Jacquez, 26, of Overland Park was a regular road warrior until a buddy last year suggested the two hit the trails for something different. Now he's hooked. "At first, you get kind of dizzy, because you're looking at the ground, trying to avoid rocks," Jacquez said. "I took some spills. But your legs start to get used to it." There are other things to get used to. Once, a squirrel fell out of a tree and almost landed on Jacquez's head. He has stepped on more than one snake. And ticks, always a pleasant thought, seem to be worse in dry weather. His highest tick count for one trail outing: 22. Trail runners say there's plenty to recommend the sport. The nature aspect might have drawbacks, they say, but the positives of off-road running far outweigh PREPPING FOR A RUN 1. Go with a running partner. It's good to have a buddy along in case of a twisted ankle or other mishap. 2. Bring water.Carry bottles (get ones with handles) or wear a waist pack that has bottle attachments. 3. Get a trail map from the park department to help provide orientation on the trail. A compass is helpful if you get lost. 4. Wear sun block and insect repellent. 5. Use Bodyglide or other skin lubricant to guard against friction and blisters on your feet, underarms, etc. 6. Stop periodically to check for ticks. 7. Wear socks (not cotton) that wick moisture. 8. After your run, scrub your legs with soap or a product such as Tecnu if you brushed against poison ivy. Remember that poison ivy oil clings to shoes and socks, too. 9. In icy conditions, screw short sheet-metal screws into the bottom of your shoes for extra traction. 10. Enjoy the ambience while focusing on each footfall. (It takes practice.) EAGLE RIDGE APARTMENTS them. Jacquez knew it on that first run as he jogged past deer rather than parked cars. "There's something new every time you run," he said. "It's exciting." Trail runners might crave a little fear factor — the potential risks in nature — but they also say a big reason to run trails is to help reduce the kinds of chronic injuries endemic to regular pavement running. 530 Eldridge Street - 1 & 2 BR Apartments - Rents from $415 - Small Pets Welcome - 50% off on Sec.

In dismissing the lawsuit, he didn't address the merits of the case. TOPEKA — A federal lawsuit challenging a year-old state law giving some illegal immigrants a tuition break at state universities and colleges was dismissed July 5, although backers of the case promised to appeal. "Hypothetical or conjectural harm is not sufficient," Rogers wrote in a 38-page opinion. "When a law does not apply to a party, that party has no invasion of a legally protected interest." The judge wrote that this likely was the first federal case to challenge such a law. At least Peter Roos, an Oakland, Calif., attorney representing two Hispanic groups helping defend the law, said the ruling set a precedent because similar plaintiffs in other states likely would face the same issue. "Essentially these plaintiffs were not going to get any benefit out of it other than ideological satisfaction," Roos said. At issue was a 2004 law allowing illegal immigrants to qualify for lower in-state tuition if they attend a Kansas high school for at least three years and graduate or earn a general education development certificate in Kansas. Also, they must actively be seeking legal immigration status or plan to do so when they are eligible. eight other states have similar statutes. Two 1996 federal laws allow states to grant such tuition breaks if they're not based on residency and only if they're available to other U.S. citizens. Supporters say many immigrants affected by the law attended school or lived in Kansas for years. Critics say the law rewards those violating immigration laws. Challenging the law were six parents and 18 students who were residents of other states but attended Kansas institutions and paid higher out-of-state rates. Their case was funded by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which opposed what it viewed as lax immigration policies. Dan Stein, FAIR president, said the case would be appealed. He said such laws "treat illegal aliens even better than nonimmigrant students, and they cause tuition rates to increase while discriminating in favor of those who've broken our laws." He said Rogers "decided to use brazen procedural roadblocks to uphold a state law clearly prohibited by Congress under state law." He also called the decision "an appalling exercise of judicial activism." Overland Park attorney Mike Delaney, who represented the state, dismissed Stein's criticism as something to be expected. "This the absolute antithesis of judicial activism," Delaney said. "These days, when a person doesn't like what a court does, they accuse it of being an activist court. What Judge Rogers has done in this case is apply well worn precedents to those people's claims." NATION The law gives qualified illegal immigrants a substantial break. For example, state residents taking 15 hours of undergraduate classes at the University of Kansas pay $2,081 a semester in tuition, compared with $5,069 for non-Kansas residents. The Kansas Board of Regents, which oversees the state higher education system, said it was pleased with the ruling and would continue to provide such tuition breaks. Aside from Kansas, other states with similar laws are California, Illinois, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Washington. Similar legislation was vetoed in Maryland. At least two states — Alaska and Mississippi — prohibit illegal immigrants from getting resident tuition rates while a similar plan was vetoeed in Virginia. Nichols confesses; he helped McVeigh OKLAHOMA CITY — Bombing conspirator Terry Nichols has been meeting with the FBI and has revealed additional details about his involvement in the 1995 attack that destroyed the Oklahoma City federal building, his mother said Sunday. Nichols, serving life in prison on federal and state convictions for the bombing that killed 168 people, acknowledged that he helpedTimothy McVeigh acquire ammonium nitrate fertilizer and racing fuel that were combined to make the explosive, and helped assemble the bomb components, said Nichols' mother, Joyce Wilt of Lapeer, Mich. Prosecutors have contended that Nichols willingly helped McVeigh plan and carry out the bombing. Wilt said she believed others were involved in the bombing and that the FBI was hiding it. Wilt contends her son suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism, and that McVeigh took advantage of and that he threatened to harm Nichols and his family if he didn't comply.

Organizers held the show at Burcham Park. 2nd and Indiana Streets, and residents filled the park. Gary, Saathoff, Lawrence Jaycees president, said he was told there were about 5,000 people in the park, with even more people in surrounding streets and parking lots. The shells were shot off by current and former members of the Jaycees, Saathoff said. More than a dozen current and former members were down in the pit, which is the designated firing area for the shells. One ex-member had helped with the show for 35 years. Saathoff said. The show was funded through donations. The City of Lawrence donated $5,000 and Emprise Bank gave the largest donation of $7,000. Saathoff said. The entire event will probably cost $14,000, said Saathofl, but the totals for Monday's extravaganza have not yet been tallied. We have a lot of people who work all year long and if it weren't for the people we wouldn't have been around for 65 years." Saulthoff said. "We do it as a way to say thanks to the cow and the people in it." About 500 to 600 shells were used in the show, not including the grand finale that alone had over 1,300 shells. The lavees spent $10,000 on the fireworks alone. Organizers had about the same budget as last year but decided to put more of the money into the fireworks this year. Saatholl said. Britta Houman, KU alumna and former Jayplay writer, has attended the show for the last three years. She attended because it was the Fourth of July, and it was "tradition to see fire works." Lawrence has had a fireworks shop, hosted by the javeees, for the last 50 years. Safloff said. The show, which began about 9.45 p.m., lasted for about 50 minutes and ended with applause from the crowd. The finale was the best part of the show. Florman said. The different colors and sparkles were great to watch, she said. Edited by Erin M. Drost --- JULY 6-JULY 12,2005 ADVERTISEMENT THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 13 PAY ATTENTION!

DROSTE PHOTOS BY KERRI HENDERSON edroste@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER If you need a weekend away from all the hard work you have put into your summer classes, Kansas has a lot to offer that won't break your bank account. From camping and hiking to railroads and trolleys, there is something for all appetites close to Lawrence that can get you away from your textbooks. Trevor Niedfeldt, STATravel advisor in the Kansas Union, said how much you spend on a weekend getaway depends on how far you want to go. and getaway depends on how far you want to go. "You can get pretty far on $100," he said. "It just depends on if you are willing to sleep in the car." 1970 Tracy Weiss, Texas, senior, and Tony Mayfield, both attempt to catch a fris while keeping cool. The two spent an afternoon with their friends at Bloomin Park along Clinton Lake. A day use pass is $1 per person at the self pay station Gear Whether you are camping, canoeing or just taking a hike,you are going to need some gear. The Outdoor Pursuits program, part of the University of Kansas Recreation Services,can help with that. Through the program students can rent all kinds of outdoor equipment. You can rent backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, stoves and even canoes. Renting through Outdoor Pursuits you can get a two-person tent for $6 and for $4, a sleeping bag. If renting equipment isn't your style, buying your gear isn't out of the question. But if you decide to buy, expect to pay a lot more for your weekend getaway. At Wal-Mart, 9300 Iowa St., a two-person tent will set you back at least $18 and for a sleeping bag you'll need another $15, according to Walmart.com. At sporting goods retail stores, plan to spend even more. Backwoods, 916 Massachusetts St., charges about $125 for a two-person tent, and about $80 for a sleeping bag, said Sarah Jones, sales associate at Backwoods. Shane Barber, Lindsborg junior and Outdoor Pursuits employee, said it is cost-efficient for a weekend trip to rent equipment instead of buying it. Renting from Outdoor Pursuits can save you anywhere from $11 to $119 for your gear compared to Wal-Mart and Backwoods sbee gto TRAVEL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 15 to catch a friendads at Bloomingself pay station sbee gton Within 2 hours If getting out of Lawrence altogether sounds more appealing to you, a weekend trip to see what other places in Kansas have to offer may be the ticket. The Konza Prairie, Atchison and the Midland Railway all lie within two hours of the city limits and offer activities and experiences unique to Kansas. The Konza Prairie is located a few miles south of Manhattan. Don't worry, it is well outside the city limits. In the Flint Hills region of Kansas, the Konza Prairie is an 8,600-acre preserve and is a great place to explore the native wildlife, and even play a little game of hide and seek in the tall native grasses. Visitors can hike through seven miles of prairie that are open daily to the public. For those of us who get enough exercise walking around campus, the Nature Trail is about 3 miles long. If you've got a little energy left over you can keep on going through the Kings Creek Loop for about five miles or the Godwin Hill Loop for about seven miles. If you want to explore more than seven miles of Kansas try the Midland Railway in Baldwin City. The Railway is a quick 17-mile drive from Lawrence. Open rain or shine, the railway offers one-hour round trips from Baldwin to Norwood and two-hour round trips from Baldwin to Ottawa. Tickets will cost you $10 to $15 for single trips or $25 for an all-day pass. Get a group of friends to go with you and you can get group discounts on ticket prices. You may want to bring a group of friends to hold onto if you decide to head up to Atchison. Just an hour north of Lawrence, Atchison has been called the most haunted town in Kansas. "There have been more hauntings reported in Atchison than anywhere else in Kansas," said Sally Webb, tourism coordinator for the Atchison Chamber of Commerce. For just $4 you can take an hour-long trolley tour around the city and check out its history, Webb said. She said Atchison is a great place for students on a budget to visit. After your trolley ride you can visit the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum, head out to Warnock Lake for a swim or walk through the International Forest of Friendship. Day trips But if you can't find enough time to get away for an entire weekend, you can plan a day trip to get out of Lawrence. "I haven't been there in like a million years," said Kiya Beard, Kansas City, Mo. senior. "But I would like to go back. It seemed like a lot of fun when I was little." Lawrence is just a half hour away from theTopeka Zoo. You can see the lions and tigers and bears and other animals for just $4.50 between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Whatever the balance of your bank account or the amount of free time you have on the weekends, Lawrence and the surrounding areas will have something to tickle your fancy and get your nose out of the books. A half hour in the other direction will land you in Overland Park, where you can wander through Oak Park Mall, or take in a movie at AMC 30's new IMAX Theatre. For other activities in the Kansas City area, Beard suggests the Great Wolf Lodge or Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun if you like the amusement park atmosphere. "It's nice to get out and see other places," Shane Barber of Outdoor Pursuits said. "People spend up to $80 or $100 on alcohol on a weekend. You can actually save money by getting out of town."

Tent camping for two people will run you $20 to $23 per night and $36 will get you a two-person canoe for a trip down the Kansas River, said Kim Newell, owner of the Lawrence KOA. Once you've got the gear you need, there are several places in Lawrence where you can camp, have a picnic or just sit and watch the stars with a nice cold beer in your hand. KOA offers canoe trips along the river from Lecompton to Lawrence every Saturday and Sunday. They will drop you and your canoe off in Lecompton and pick you back up when you get to Lawrence. The trip takes approximately three to four hours depending on whether you stop for a picnic lunch or maybe a little skinny-dipping. Newell said there are plenty of activities to keep people busy and the prices are reasonable for a weekend trip. Clinton State Park is the home of the many campgrounds surrounding Clinton Lake. Bloomington Park has about 300 campsites, said Lindsey White, Clinton Lake staff employee. There is a $10 fee to camp in Bloomington Park, she said. You can take advantage of the hiking, swimming, volleyball or boating areas they have available while you are there. "It's something you can split the cost of in a group and make a whole weekend for under $100," Newell said. If you don't have the $10 to spare you can stake out a spot in the free campground on the west side of the lake in Woodridge Parks. —Edited by John Scheirman - 16 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN JULY 6-JULY 12.2005 Jewelry By Julie Handmade Jewelry By Julie Kingsbury 9th and Vermont Lawrence, KS 66044 (785) 832-8693 SUNSHINE Jewelry By Julie Handmade Jewelry By Julie Kingsbury 9th and Vermont Lawrence, KS 66044 (785) 832-8693 LIBERTY HALL CINEMA 7th & massachusetts • lawrence (785) 749-1912 • www.libertyhall.net LIBERTY HALL VIDEO THURSDAYS-2FOR1 RENTALS CATEGORY OF THE WEEK: CLASSICS FROM THE 60'S AND 70'S VHS AND DVD AVAILABLE !!!!

WILSON WEST SIDE PARK CRIME Man escapes police custody By Liz NARTOWICZ lnartowicz@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Lance Dennis, 24-year-old Lawrence resident, escaped police custody on June 24 when he jumped out of a moving squad car near the intersection of Sixth and Michigan streets, according to Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence police spokesman. Dennis was arrested on charges of domestic battery and possession of marijuana. Dennis' girlfriend called police to her home on north Michigan Street after Dennis allegedly slapped her across the face with an open hand. Ward said the arresting officer found marijuana on Dennis. Officer Eric Maack, who arrested Dennis, declined to comment on the incident and referred all inquiries to Ward. Ward could not reveal specifics about what happened because of policy, but said the squad car was traveling at a slow speed and no one was hurt. Ward was unsure how Dennis escaped because squad cars are built with child-safety locks that prevent anyone from opening rear doors from the inside. Police officers are required to check these locks before patrolling. "The locks should stay active all the time," Ward said. "This time they were unlocked." Ward said the department would look into why the locks were deactivated. Defective latches are a possibility, he said. After jumping from the squad car, Dennis, still in handcuffs, sprinted his way to Arkansas Street. Construction workers with Dobbs Associates at McDonald's, 1309 W. Sixth St., noticed the disturbance. "We knew something was going on, we had no idea what it was, but we heard the sirens," said Rocky Weber, the on-site construction manager. Weber said after he heard the sirens he looked up from his work and saw three squad cars approaching. He said, to his knowledge, no one on the crew saw Dennis. The crew was working in front of McDonald's while Dennis allegedly ran behind the building through the parking lot. Although Derek Lavalette, foreman for the McDonald's reconstruction, did not witness the incident, he still had a strong opinion about the matter. “This is a big safety issue," Lavelette said. "He could have hurt himself or someone else jumping out in traffic." Lavalette said he held the police accountable for the incident. "Cops are supposed to have control of their prisoner at all times," Lavalette said. "They should have made sure the car worked right." Dennis ran south on Michigan Street and entered the Woods of Old West Lawrence apartment complex, 630 Michigan St., where he stayed until police arrived and recaptured him. Billy Roberts, complex manager, said the chase ended in a matter of minutes. "The guy wasn't very smart," Roberts said. "The entire property is fenced in." The complex has only one entrance and exit, which are adjacent to one another. Roberts said when the police arrived they simply blocked off the entrance and waited. Officers took Dennis to the Douglas County Jail where escaping custody was added to the charges against him. Dennis was booked at 3:07 pm on June 24 and bail was set at $10,000. Dennis was released the morning of June 26. His hearing is pending. - Edited by Erin M. Droste NATION O'Connor plans to retire; Rehnquist may do same WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court retirement watch is far from over. After Sandra Day O'Connor's surprise announcement last week, the attention is focused again on ailing Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and the prospect of simultaneous high court openings for the first time in 34 years. President Bush, traveling in Europe this week, has said he will not immediately name O'Connor's successor. That gives Rehnquist more time to ponder his future. He could join O'Connor in retiring, setting the stage for a double nomination and Senate confirmation fight. Or he could remain on the job, overseeing the court through its first turnover since 1994. So far Rehnquist, who is 80, has O'Connor, 75, said Friday she would be leaving after 24 years to spend time with her husband, who is ill.The announcement was a surprise since most attention had been focused on Rehquist. given no hints. His health is the biggest question. He received radiation and chemotherapy last fall for thyroid cancer. While his condition improved enough for him to return to the bench in March, he's appeared frail in recent weeks. "My guess is now that O'Connor has stood down, the White House is fully prepared for both possibilities," said Pat Buchanan, who advised Presidents Nixon and Reagan on Supreme Court vacancies. "They would probably prefer to get both done at once." It's unclear whether Rehnquist had any advance notice about O'Connor's plans. And her action may keep the chief justice on the court longer. — The Associated Press 005 JULY 6 - JULY 12, 2005 ADVERTISEMENT THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ed Press THE SWIG FRIDAY JULY 8TH Ad Space Available It's not cheating on your current home — It's getting up and leaving it. kansanApartments.com THE SWIG FRIDAY JULY 8TH LEF CLAYPOOL JACOB FRED JAZZ OUYSSEY SATURDAY JULY 9 THE GRANADA CENSURA WITH SPECIAL GUESTS EPIPHANY B-TEAM HEROES THE GRANADA THEATER Ad Space Available --- A. 18 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS JULY 6 - JULY 12, 2005 MIDNIGHT RELEASE PARTY JULY 15, 2005 8:00 PM HAWK'S NEST LEVEL 1, KANSAS UNION MOVIE SCREENING!

He seeks your actual questions, so put on your thinking cap and then send an e-mail to mistercollege@kansan.com. In the interim, the editors will provide the questions. Dear Mr. College Answer Person, Across the Atlantic Ocean, Provost is the title given to a chief magistrate in a Scottish city. But around here, the word is used as a title for a high-level university official. At the University, the Provost, David Shulenburger, is second in command under the Chancellor. The Office of the Provost, 250 Strong Hall, is comprised of a cabinet of Vice-Provosts who oversee and communicate with all other offices on campus. What can you tell me about the Provost, Registrar, Comptroller and Bursar? I am new to KU and unfamiliar with these terms. These terms represent the leaders of specific departments, each one carrying out different administrative functions at the University of Kansas. Registrar is a word that describes one who is responsible for the safekeeping of enrollment records and academic standing. There are two separate parts to the Office of the Registrar at KU. The Office of Enrollment is located in 151 Strong Hall and is responsible for the creation of the timetable and assisting students with enrollment. It also handles petitions for refunds of fees and establishment of instate residency status. The Office of Transcripts and Records is located down the hall in 121 Strong Hall and handles ordering and sending of these records. Assistant Registrar Joan Hahn said, "Most problems that arise in our office deal with students who do not pay close attention to the academic calendar." She said it would be wise for all students to print off a copy and check it regularly so they don't miss important academic deadlines. KU Comptroller Diane Goddard said, "Our office is responsible for keeping track of every dollar that comes into the University and also auditing every dollar that leaves the University." The Office of the Comptroller is located at 147 Carruth O'Leary. Comptroller is a title used to describe an officer who handles the financial affairs of an organization. The title Bursar comes from the Latin word bursa, which means purse. The Bursar is a part of the Office of the Comptroller and handles all billing for tuition and fees as well as collection of these charges. Assistant Comptroller Karen Bailey said students could pay their bills on the bottom floor of Carruth O'Leary, but that this office does not handle financial aid matters. Bailey said that one of the goals of her department was to eliminate the need for students to physically come into their offices. To accomplish this, the Bursar offers many online resources, such as depositing refunds directly into students' bank account, online bill-pay and submitting FERPAL forms, which are used to give guardian access to student records and bills. Mr. College Answer Person INTERNATIONAL Live 8 concerts provide aid for African poverty LONDON - Twenty years after a scruffy one-hit wonder first demonstrated his gift for lofty dreams and grandiose statements, hundreds of the world's top performers and more than 1 million fans united for 10 free concerts across the globe aimed at fighting African poverty. Bob Geldof claimed July 2's shows would be "the greatest concert ever," and it was hard to argue with him after the unprecedented gathering drew everyone from Snoop Dogg to Bill Gates, Mandela to Madonna. But the ultimate success of the Live 8 extravaganza will be judged by whether the world's most powerful leaders, gathering next week for the Group of Eight summit meeting, listen to Geldof's demands for debt forgiveness, trade concessions and $25 billion in aid for Africa. "History and the generations to come will judge our leaders by the decisions they make in the coming weeks," former South African president Nelson Mandela said after taking the stage in Johannesburg, where the crowd of more than 8,000 people gave him a five-minute ovation. "I say to all those leaders: Do not look the other way, do not hesitate ... It is within your power to prevent a genocide." "This is our moment. This is our time.This is our chance to stand up for what's right." U2 frontman Bono told a crowd of 200,000 in London's Hyde Park. "We're not looking for charity, we're looking for justice," Bono said. In Philadelphia, on the Independence Day weekend, actor Will Smith called the festivities a worldwide "declaration of interdependence." The Associated Press JULY 6-JULY 12.2005 NEWS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 19 d Press SPACE Probe makes a smash hit This artist rendition released by NASA shows an explosion, top left, on the Tempel 1 comet after the probe from the Deep Impact spacecraft collided with the comet early July 4. The successful strike 83 million miles away from Earth marked the first time a spacecraft touched the surface of a comet. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PASADENA, Calif. — They weren't a red, white and blue spectacle, but the cosmic fireworks NASA created by blasting a hole in a comet were something for scientists to cheer about this Fourth of July weekend. The brighter-than-expected white flash of light climaxed a daring mission "that's something to be proud of on America's birthday," said Rick Grammier, the mission's project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. About 12 hours after the barrel-sized Deep Impact space probe smashed into a comet half the size of Manhattan, scientists showed off dramatic, sci-fi-like images. Photos shot by the impactor probe as it awaited its suicidal collision revealed for the first time the surface of the comet Tempel 1 as it closed in at 23,000 mph. The close-ups revealed not so much the pickle-shaped comet that scientists originally thought, but one that looked more like a potato, lumpy and pocked. Michael A'Hearn, an astronomer at the University of Maryland and Deep Impact principal investigator, likened it to a muffin or loaf of bread. The impact released a bright flash followed by a larger one as a plume of trapped gas and debris spewed from the comet's belly into space, backlit by the sun. The cloud blocked scientists' view of the excavated crater and it could be weeks before the dust disappears. Still, scientists were confident they accomplished their mission because they were able to see the crater's shadow in the photos. Scientists said the comet appears to have a soft, dusty surface with crater-like features. Trapped ice seems to be below the surface, possibly containing the primordial ingredients of the solar system. Schultz said. Scientists are hoping to get to the core of this rocky, ice-filled structure to learn about the origins of the sun and planets. First Management Something for everyone.

Ward Loyd, R-Great Bend, reads the news of the day during a lull in House action the morning of July 2 in Topeka. Kansas legislators are working in special session to fund the state's school system. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA — Parents, teachers and students still face the possibility that schools may not open on time in August, despite an attempted end run Tuesday by Attorney General Phill Kline around a Kansas Supreme Court threat. Legislators were to begin their 12th day of work in a special session July 6, five days after missing the July 1 deadline set by the court for providing an extra $143 million for schools. Lawmakers' failure to approve an education funding bill led the court to set a July 8 hearing on whether it should withhold money from schools. Kline hoped to outmaneuver the court, preventing it from cutting off funds by speeding up the certification of monthly figures for how much the state's 300 school districts receive in state aid. He argued the court couldn't block the flow of money if that process already had occurred. But the end run also required the approval of State Budget Director Duane Goossen, who works for Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, and he wouldn't go along. "We will continue to follow the law and the normal procedures," Goossen said. The Kansas Board of Education voted 6-4 to have the amounts of state aid from August through January certified as quickly as possible. The vote mirrored the board's philosophical split, with conservatives supporting the idea and others questioning the idea's legality. "We believe it is important to try to do something to keep schools open," said board chairman Steve Abrams of Arkansas City. Board member Janet Waugh, of Kansas City, said, "I do not believe this is legal. I think this could backfire on us, and the backfire could hurt our kids." Meanwhile, legislative leaders hoped their colleagues would need only a day or two to approve a school finance bill and end the special session. They quit Saturday because the House had reached an impasse. "I'm really optimistic we'll be done in a day or two," said House Speaker Doug Mays, R-Topeka.

BRYANT HOWARD ZINN Author of the best-selling "A People's History of the United States." He wrote this for Progressive Media Project. PAGE 21 On July 4, we would do well to renounce nationalism and all its symbols: its flags, its pledges of allegiance, its anthems, its insistence in song that God must single out America to be blessed. Is not nationalism — that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary so fierce it engenders mass murder — one of the great evils of our time, along with racism, along with religious hatred? National spirit can be benign in a country that is small and lacking both in military power and a hunger for expansion (Switzerland, Norway, Costa Rica and many more). But in a nation like ours — huge, possessing thousands of weapons of mass destruction — what might have been harmless pride became an arrogant nationalism dangerous to others and to ourselves. These ways of thinking cultivated, nurtured, indoctrinated from childhood on have been useful to those in power, and deadly for those out of power. Our citizenry has been brought up to see our nation as different from others, an exception in the world, uniquely moral, expanding into other lands in order to bring civilization, liberty and democracy. As our armies were committing massacres in the Philippines (at least 600,000 Filipinos died in a few years of conflict)), Elihu Root, our secretary of war, was saying: "The American soldier is different from all other soldiers of all other countries since the war began. He is the advance guard of liberty and justice, of law and order, and of peace and happiness." On the eve of the Mexican War, an American journalist declared it our "Manifest Destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence." After the invasion of Mexico began, The New York Herald announced: "We believe it is a part of our destiny to civilize that beautiful country." We see in Iraq that our soldiers are not different. They have, perhaps against their better nature, killed thousands of Iraqi civilians. And some soldiers have shown themselves capable That self-deception started early. The killing of Indians was seen as approved by God, the taking of land as commanded by the Bible. The Puritans cited one of the Psalms, which says: "Ask of me, and I shall give thee, the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the Earth for thy possession." (Psalm 2:8) of brutality, of torture. Yet they are victims, too, of our government's lies. How many times have we heard President Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld tell the troops that if they die, if they return without arms or legs, or blinded, it is for "liberty," for "democracy"? One of the effects of nationalist thinking is a loss of a sense of proportion. The killing of 2,300 people at Pearl Harbor becomes the justification for killing 240,000 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The killing of 3,000 people on Sept. 11 becomes the justification for killing tens of thousands of people in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to refute the idea that our nation is different from, morally superior to, the other imperial powers of world history. And nationalism is given a special virulence when it is said to be blessed by Providence. Today we have a president, invading two countries in four years, who announced on the campaign trail last year that God speaks through him. We need to assert our allegiance to the human race, and not to any one nation. STAYSKAL'S PERSPECTIVE MAYBE IT IS TIME TO RETIRE... I HAVEN'T BEEN FEELING VERY INFALLIBLE LATELY!

In an interview that aired Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Cosby said he should be able to teach others to learn from his mistakes. He likened his mistakes to hitting a pothole while driving on a rainy road and trying to warn others to avoid the same fate. Cosby, 67, best known as a warm, wisecracking TV dad, sparked debate last year with blunt remarks on personal responsibility aimed at the black community. In 1997, the long-married Cosby acknowledged a brief affair with the mother of Autumn Jackson, a young woman convicted of extorting him. The entire ABC interview was set to air Wednesday on "Nightline." Cosby was asked if his own failures of judgment disqualify him from speaking about others. "No," he replied. "I couldn't care less what you think of me as long as you begin to execute that which will save your children." Cosby faces a civil lawsuit filed by a former Temple University employee who alleges that he drugged and fondled her at his home in suburban Philadelphia. The woman, who now lives in her native Ontario, Canada, sued Cosby in March. She went to Canadian authorities on Jan. 13, about a year after her alleged encounter with the comedian. When asked in the interview whether those allegations would hurt his standing on moral issues, Cosby said, "If they are not true, what happens if they are not true?" Lawyers for Cosby, a Temple University alumnus and booster, have said Cosby considered himself a friend and mentor to the woman. Cosby denied the assault allegation but acknowledged giving her over-the-counter medication after she complained she was stressed and couldn't sleep. "Sabrina"" actress expecting her first LOS ANGELES — Melissa LOS ANGELE Joan Hart, who starred in the TV series "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," is reportedly expecting her first child. Hart, 29, is married to Mark Hart Wilkerson, 28 lead singer and guitarist for the rock trio Course of Nature. Their baby is due in January, People magazine says in its July 11 edition. Calls by The Associated Press Wednesday to Hart's representatives were not immediately returned. "I'm thrilled to death," Paula Hart, the actress' mother, told People. "Melissa is feeling great. So far, so good." Hart and Wilkerson were married in July 2003. Thief of rocker's car sentenced to prison WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Rod Stewart was not amused. After the theft of his powerful Viper performance car in 2004, the singer wrote: "(Someone) stole my Viper. I'm not amused." On Wednesday, Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Jack Cook sentenced Donald Michael Smith, 23, to 11 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to several charges, including stealing Stewart's car and driving it into a canal. According to a police report, Smith drove off in Stewart's Dodge Viper after he was fired from his job. Prince William travels to represent queen WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Britain's Prince William showed his rugby skills Friday in a training session with leading members of the British Lions rugby team here. On the second day of his first solo trip abroad representing the British sovereign, the second-in-line to the throne kicked, caught and passed the ball with seeming ease under bright clear midwinters sun. William will represent his grandmother, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, at wreath-laying ceremonies marking the end of World War II. — The Associated Press 005 JULY 6 - JULY 12, 2005 PEOPLE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 23 ABC's should takes. while hers to gment crack- blunt at the Cosby of Au- extort- ednes- at you te that former that he pourban in her ch.

Where's Tom Cruise? RENE RODRIGUEZ THE MIAMI HERALD Cruise's lead performance is strong, the movie's undisputed star is Steven Spielberg. NEW YORK — Here's a future Trivial Pursuit answer: Tom Cruise's face does not appear anywhere on the posters for "War of the Worlds," making this the first time the advertising materials for a movie starring the actor do not take advantage of his marketable mug. This was not, as one might initially assume, an attempt by the filmmakers to distance the movie from the ongoing media circus surrounding Cruise's "I'm-in-love!" antics. The poster for "War of the Worlds," Part of the reason Spielberg is the most famous living filmmaker is his everyman affinity for wonder and fantasy — he has the ability, like Walt Disney or George Lucas, to make the fantastical accessible and enthralling to everyone. Before he "grew up" and made dramas like "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan," Spielberg was often derided by critics as the cinema's reigning Peter Pan, a gifted filmmaker who could only make movies about his boyhood obsessions instead of grown-up concerns. which opened around the globe on June 29, was designed months ago and consists of a single image that cuts across all languages and cultures: a veiny, three-fingered, decidedly alien hand clutching a burning planet Earth. It is a classic, elegant image that evokes pulpy, `50s-era science fiction and hints at a special effects thrill ride, a la "Independence Day." But the movie turns out to be something much different and far more interesting. "War of the Worlds" is an all-out horror movie — a relentless, intense and deeply frightening fable about the end of the world. And although Munchkin survivor marks 86th birthday ST.LOUIS - It's been 66 years since Mickey Carroll's only movie role, but he's still celebrated for it. Carroll is one of a few surviving Munchkins from MGM's 1939 classic "The Wizard of Oz." His character led the Munchkin parade and advised Dorothy, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road." On July 2, friends and fans gathered in a park to celebrate his 86th birthday. (His actual birthday is July 8). "Oz" was Carroll's only movie. When it appeared on television in the 1960s, he found a new career at charitable events, retail events and Oz-related events. "It's not me; it's the movie," Carroll said. "When they see me, they think of their childhood, and it makes them smile." — The Associated Press 'American Pie' star files for divorce LOS ANGELES - Shannon Elizabeth, who played a sexy foreign exchange student in "American Pie," has filed for divorce from her husband of three years, according to court papers. She played Czech student Nadia in 1999's "American Pie" and its 2001 sequel, "American Pie 2." Her screen credits also include "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and "Scary Movie." She now stars in the UPN movie "Cuts." Elizabeth, 31, had been separated from actor Joseph D. Reitman since early March. She filed for divorce June 29 in Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have no children. Reitman, 37, has appeared in the films "Drop Dead Sexy", "Choices" and "Bum Runner". The Associated Press Edwards family writing books RALEIGH, N.C. — Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards, is writing a book about her life, including her recent successful treatment for breast cancer. The announcement comes about a month after it became known her husband, a former senator, is working on a photo essay book focusing on American values and dreams, using pictures of the childhood homes of notable people. The books will be published at a time when John Edwards is traveling around the country testing driving around the country test the waters for a 2008 presidential bid. John Edwards wrote an autobiographical book, focusing on his law career, called "Four Trials" while he was seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2004.

Ballweg is a 5-foot-10 junior shooting guard from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, and is one of the top recruits from the Kansas City area. She averaged 19 points her junior year, was 38 percent from behind the arc and 52 percent from the two-point range. Ballweg is the second Johnson County native, along with Danielle McCray, to commit to the Kansas women's basketball program in her junior year. Rick Hetzel, Aquinas head women's basketball coach, said Ballweg was a good competitor. "She's really good at the guard spot, she's a good shooter and she's getting better with the basketball all the time." Hetzel said.

J.R. has so much natural talent; this incident could be the catalyst to create a new man. We should know in about a year if that has happened or not. Self and J.R. made the best possible decision. Fans in Manhattan and Columbia would have never let J.R. forget his recent run-in with the law. And that would have distracted J.R. and his teammates. This way, the Jayhawks can focus on really embracing the Self era - only Jeremy Case, Jeff Hawkins, Christian Moody and seldom-used Stephen Vinson remain as players recruited under former coach Roy Williams - and J.R. can focus on his dream of playing basketball for pay. Another season like his freshman year would probably be enough to ensure he makes the pros. Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mo., Junior in journalism and political science. He was the spring Kansan associate sports editor. It's a new era for J.R. and it's a new era for the Jayhawks. Good luck J.R., wherever you end up. Lance takes lead in last tour TOUR DE FRANCE BY JAMES KEATEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BLOIS, France — Lance Armstrong is wearing his favorite Tour de France outfit again — the yellow jersey. In a thrilling finish — during which the overall race leader crashed into a barricade — Armstrong and his Discovery Channel mates set a record of 35.54 mph July 5 and won the team time trial. The victory handed the 33-year-old Texan the lead after only four stages. Armstrong will ride July 6 wearing the distinctive yellow shirt — the 67th time he has done so — and maintaining a critical edge in his bid for an unprecedented seventh straight victory in his farewell Tour. "It was the plan to take the jersey, but the priority was to have the best race possible, and gain time on our adversaries," a beaming Armstrong said. That's exactly what happened. Armstrong chiseled out a 1:21 lead over T-Mobile's Alexandre Vinokourov, while CSC's Ivan Basso was 1:26 back. Germany's Jan Ullrich, the 1997 Tour winner, was 1:36 behind the leader. The victory marked the third straight year that Armstrong's squad won the team time trial, clocking 1 hour, 10 minutes, 39 seconds in the 41.85-mile trek from Tours to Blois. Discovery Channel now commands seven of the top 15 spots in the standings, with Armstrong sidekick George Hincapie in second. "The Dream Team," Armstrong said. "For me, in the last year, it's special to have a team like this." Now, Armstrong and Discovery must decide strategy: maintain the race lead or relinquish the yellow jersey, and the resulting pressure, for now, in hopes of regaining it by the July 24 finish in Paris. "It's always nice to be in yellow," Armstrong said. "There are three or four flat stages coming, so it will not be easy to defend the jersey." Armstrong insisted the yellow jersey did not mean the rest of the race would be easy. Team director Johan Bruyneel said he was happy the race went according to plan, and that Discovery met the challenge of strong teams such as CSC and Switzerland's Phonak. "There's still a lot of racing to go, a lot of nervous days. Anything can happen, crashes here, crashes there, especially the stages in the (next) few days, which are tricky," he said.

Self and Giddens decided the evening of June 28 that his leaving would be the best alternative to give both Giddens and the University a fresh start. 。 4 Kansan File Photo Giddens leaving Kansas BY Liz NARTOWICZ inartowicz@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER Head men's basketball coach Bill Self announced on June 29 that junior forward J.R. Giddens will not return to the men's basketball team and will transfer from the University of Kansas. After deliberating for hours, Self and Giddens reached the decision on the evening of June 28, Self said. He said the May 19 altercation involving Giddens had little to do with his decision. "This is not a disciplinary action," Self said. "This is based on J.R. and me wanting a fresh start." Self informed the team shortly after he and Giddens reached a decision. Self said although the team was caught off guard, he felt the team would recover. Self is not concerned with finding a replacement for Giddens, who had The report on the May 19 incident outside the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa, remains in the possession of the Douglas County district attorney's office. No charges have been filed. Giddens would be followed by too many questions if he remained at the University, guilty or innocent, Self said. In a KU Media Relations press release, Giddens is quoted as agreeing that he thought a fresh start would be best for the University and himself. already renewed his athletic scholarship. Self said there was too little time and too few options to find a replacement and that the team had several key players to carry the weight. "We've prepared for this moment back when we thought J.R. was leaving after his sophomore year," Self said. But even with Giddens off the team, Self said he and the program would maintain contact with him. "We're not going to leave him high and dry," Self said. "If he needs anything, we'll help." Giddens has not made a decision on what school he will transfer to or when, Self said. — Edited by Erin M. Droste SPORTS COMMENTARY JONATHAN KEALING JKEALING@KANSAN.COM Giddens goes yet life goes on without him So, he's finally gone. After countless exclusive, in-depth reports and penetrating sports commentary both defending and deriding the participants in the Moon Brawl J.R. Giddens has finally left the Fieldhouse. It's about time. I don't say this because I bear any particular ill-will toward the talented, but misguided, wing forward. In fact, when J.R. was one he was one of the most exciting players to watch. Unfortunately, J.R. also had a way of finding trouble. It's been rehashed over and over again in the seven weeks since the showdown at high Moon. There was the Wal-Mart non-purchase, the late night/early morning car crash and finally the slash and brawl. Ultimately, J.R.'s free-wheeling, jersey-popping, self-centered style began to detract from the team. Instead of spending the summer months blissfully believing Self and his talented trio of incoming freshmen would return the program to the promised land of NCAA Tourney success, Kansas fans have awoken every morning to some new revelation about Lunar misadventures. So instead of the cathartic purge of demons that was needed after a disappointing loss to Bucknell, the off-season has just added fuel to the fires of discontent. If this program was going to move forward, J.R. had to go. He would have just distracted the fans, the coaches and, most importantly, the team. Coach Bill Self had already announced that if J.R. returned, he would be faced with considerable restriction on his off-court time.Does anyone think monitoring J.R. would have been a good way for Self and his staff to spend their time? J. R. was an enigma to Kansas fans, which probably explains why they either loved him or hated him. There were camping groups dedicated to his name, and countless message board posts loathing his very existence. Sometimes he contributed mightily to his team's victories, while other times he could go more than a game without making a shot. Some national commentators have even argued he shot his team out of the Bucknell game. Love him or hate him, few will argue he wasn't fun to watch when he was hot. SEE KEALING ON PAGE 27
