Wages increase
University raises minimum student pay 50 cents per hour
BY GABY SOUZA
gouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student employees at the University of Kansas may soon have
extra cash on their hands.
Starting with the pay period beginning August 28, the minimum wage will be $6.50 per hour, up from $6 per hour. Any student already earning more than the minimum may be given a raise at the discretion of the department.
"We feel the best way to help students is to raise wages," said Lindy Eakin, vice provost of administration and finance. "We're not competitive with what other jobs are out there."
The increase is part of the tuition enhancement plan, which raised money for university improvements

over a period of five years.

Watson Library employee Miriam Maples, a Lawrence Sophmore, sorts through returned books Friday behind the circulation desk. Student employees like Maples stand to recieve a $.50 salary increase, starting Aug. 28.
The University is currently in the fourth year of the plan. Eakin said a portion of the extra funds are for an increase in the student hourly wage. This year, the plan included $250,000 for an increase in the minimum student hourly wage.
"We should be the employer of choice for students." Eakin said.
Kyle Beyer, Emporia senior, said the wage increase encouraged him to continue working at Watson Library, where he is a student hourly employee.
Beyer started working at Watson Library in January. He initially wanted the job at the library because of the flexible hours, but he said the wage increase does not hurt.
"No one's going to complain about more money." Beaver said.
Since some departments' student hourly employee wages are not funded through the University, those departments must honor the increase and find new funding for the raise.
Justin O'Neal/KANSAN
The departments that are not funded by the University include the Memorial Unions, the Parking Department and the Department of Student Housing. Those that are funded by the University include the libraries and on-campus offices.
The Parking Department will increase the hourly wage if necessary, said Donna Hultine, director of parking services.

Before the last pay raise, the hourly wage for the parking department's student hourly employees was already higher than the minimum. Hultine said. All student parking employees received a raise at that time.
"This is a tough job. We want to make sure this is an attractive place to work," said Hultine.
"We can choose more hours, more choices, or a little bit of both," said Eakin.
Next year, even more money will be available for student hourly employees. The extra $500,000 for 2006-07 has not been allocated, Eakin said.
It is possible that more student jobs will be created or that the student minimum wage will be increased again.

CONSTRUCTION
Old Fieldhouse gets new look
Ryan Farnsworth nails down a section of plywood for the James Naismith Court inside Allen Fieldhouse on Friday. Workers expect to finish the interior renovations by Late Night in the Phog.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Following its 50th season, Allen Fieldhouse received quite a birthday present — a makeover.
Interior renovations made this summer include improved lighting and sound systems, refurbished chair-back seats, fresh paint for the bleachers, renovated bathrooms and new championship banners. A new video board was installed this month as well.
A new court will also be installed in the next month, Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said.
Renovations to the aging fieldhouse were an effort to revive, but not change, the feel of the building, Marchiony said.
"The overriding premise was that we knew that the fieldhouse needed a facelift," Marchiony said. "We didn't want to change the interior or exterior. All of it was meant to enhance and preserve."
The renovation inside coincides with the previously completed cleaning of the limestone exterior and construction of the new Booth Family Hall of Athletics.
"It's going fine and it's on schedule," Marchiony said. "We think it's going to be exciting."
The Booth Family Hall of Athletics will include features and interactive exhibits highlighting the University's athletic achievements. It will also house the ticket office, merchandise store, a lounge for donors and a room for players and recruits. Marchiony said he thought the new hall would blend with the character of the building.
"We were looking for a design that fit right in with the field house itself," Marchiony said.
Respect of the tradition in the fieldhouse was an important factor in the construction and renovation, Bonnie Henrickson, women's head basketball coach, said.
"We also want to make sure as we bring fans and recruits in there that not only is it a special place to play in because of the aesthetics, but because of the history as well." Henrickson said.
New advertisements above the second level exits were also included. The new rotating advertisements will be coordinated with the advertisements on press row. Previously, there were permanent advertisements placed above the second level exits. Marchiony said he thought that the improved second level advertising would give the advertisers more for their money.
The Ward family of Kansas City, Mo. and the Russell Stover Foundation funded the renovation.

STUDENT HEALTHCARE
BY JOIN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students at the University of Kansas have another option for covering health care, but it comes at a price.
The new plan offers a lower deductible and pays a higher percentage of medical costs than the existing Board of Regents' plan, but the new plan also adds confusion for international students, who can choose among several options for their mandated health care coverage.
Student Senate and University administration developed the plan jointly with the University of Kansas Medical Center. Input from student government, Student Health Services, the provost's office and faculty from
both the University and the Med Center guided the new plan.
Carol Seager, director of Student Health Services, said she felt as though the Board of Regents' plan wasn't offering enough coverage for students.
"We had growing concerns about needing another plan," Seager said. "We felt like the students needed a more robust choice."
Seager said although the new plan cost $200 more per year than the Regents' plan, she believed the level of coverage the new plan offered made it a good value for students.
"It doesn't take something catastrophic to happen to a student to make up that $200," Seager said.

Guard against burglary

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Crime doesn't happen only in bigger cities like Kansas City or Wichita: It is an unpleasant resident of Lawrence that lives among students.
He laughed as he imagined a frustrated thief trying to play a compact disc on his stolen car stereo.
Just ask Brian Gaul.
Gaul's Honda was burglarized between 7 p.m. on Aug. 9 and 6 a.m. on Aug. 10 at Beau's Import Auto Service, 545 Minnesota Street. The event serves as a reminder that Kansas' sixth largest city experiences a significant amount of crime, including
"Whoever took it didn't get a very good one," said Gaul, Troy senior.
Owner Beau Barrick said Gaul's Honda probably was locked,but the window was down several inches.
"Auto burglaries and residence burglaries are a common thing for students to be victims of," said Sgt. Dant Ward of the Lawrence Police Department.
"I'm not sure whether it was locked or unlocked, but it's pretty easy to open with a hanger." Gaul said.
Gaul may not have been at fault in this case. However, students often leave doors and windows unlocked, allowing burglarst to steal belongings in vehicles and homes. Student neighborhoods are especially vulnerable, Ward said.

The KU Office of Student Financial Aid accidentally sent a mass e-mail to 119 students who were in danger of losing financial aid because of failing grades. Instead of receiving an individually addressed e-mail, each student was able to see all the names of students who failed classes. The financial aid office sent an apologetic e-mail to the students who received the original e-mail.
down. The building was a studio for architecture students. It was built in 1947 as a temporary mess hall for students returning from World War II. The land is now being resurfaced as a parking lot to be used to add 29 spots to the nearby blue faculty lot, said Lynn Bretz, University Relations director. Completion is expected a few weeks into the semester.
◆ The outdated Lindley Annex, adjacent to Lindley Hall, was torn
Kim Wilcox, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, left the University to take a position as provost for Michigan State University. Barbara Romzek is serving as interdean.

+ Adidas apparel became the only athletic wear student-athletes may use.
The University chose a new logo.
The design has the letters "K" and "U" in blue and uses the Trajan font.
The University paid the firm LandreyMorrow Inc. $88,900 to design logos for Chancellor Robert Hemenway to choose. Hemenway said the new logo would bring unity among the different schools and departments on campus.

A University of Kansas Athletics Department self-investigation found NCAA violations in the football and men's and women's basketball programs. The violations included donors giving money and clothes to men's basketball players who had completed their eligibility, providing test-prepatory classes for two prospective women's basketball players and coaches helping football players with tests and school work. Chancellor Hemenway imposed a two-year probation on the Athletics Department. Penalties include: the football team lost two scholarships and football coach Mark Mangino received a letter of admonishment, the women's basketball team lost two scholarships and one off-campus recruiting trip and the men's basketball team added new rules for staff training. The violations occurred from 2002 to 2003.

STUDENT HOUSING
Women start tradition at new hall

The construction dust has settled and the doors have opened at the new Dennis E. Rieger Scholarship Hall, 1523 Ohio St.
Fifty women moved in yesterday.
Taylor Miller/KANSAN
While the new building has residents excited, being the first to live in the hall has a special meaning for the women.
"I think it's just a great opportunity to be able to be a part of something that is going to last far into the future," said Tracy Schwartz, Overland Park junior. "Some of the scholarship halls are over 50 years old, so it's really exciting to be a part of something that will be a part of women of Rieger in the future."
Ken Stoner, Director of Student Housing, directs a tour during the media opening of the new Rieger Scholarship Hall, 1323 Ohio St., Thursday. Although the construction wasn't complete, the hall opened to its new residents yesterday.
Knowing the challenges that come with developing a new hall, such as writing a constitution and creating different executive positions, Rieger assembled women who had lived in the other five women's scholarship halls. While other hall constitutions have similar structures, the women decided to take components from other constitutions and form their own.
Dena Neuenschwander, Overland Park junior, lived in Douthart Scholarship Hall last year. She said her involvement with Douthart provided a better understanding as to what government would prove successful for the residents.
"It was really interesting to take the current way things are and turn them around and hopefully be more effi
cient," Neuenschwander said.
While developing traditions for the hall may take time, the women said meaningful traditions would develop as the year progressed.
The women have planned several events with other scholarship halls to demonstrate their commitment to the scholarship hall community.
"It's really important the rest of the scholarship community see that the Rieger girls are involved in the community and that we're interested," Neuenschwander said.
While Rieger Hall may be the envy
of other scholarship halls, the scholarship hall community is eager to gain its 11th hall and 50 new community members, said Luke Fast, All Scholarship Hall Council president.
Fast said Rieger featured a larger kitchen than the other halls and a high-tech air conditioner.
But Fast said it was not the building that defined the scholarship hall.
"The people that live in the scholarship halls return to the same halls because they like the people," he said.

CAMPUS School of Ed hires distinguished prof.
Barbara Kerr was named the Williamson Family Distinguished Professor of Counseling Psychology in the School of Education's Department of Psychology and Research in Education.
Kerr is the first professor in the School of Education to earn the title of distinguished professor. Previously, Kerr was a professor of psychology in education at Arizona State University. She will start her work at the University of Kansas on Aug. 18.
The school formed a committee to search for a professor to fill the role in the fall of 2004. The committee was made of professors of counseling psychology, a distinguished professor from another University school and a student representative.
The KU Parking Department has changed how students put parking permits on their cars. Instead of a portable hang tag or a sticker that cannot be moved, students now have the best of both.
This year, the parking department will offer "repositionable" decals, which will be more convenient for both students and the parking department, said Donna Hultine, director of parking services.
- Gaby Souza
The new stickers are removable, so the owner of the permit could move it from car to car as needed, Hultine said.
"I would describe it as one of those static cling kind of stickers with post it note glue," Hultine said. "People will find it's easier."
The new tags will increase accuracy for the department, Hultine said. When hang tags were used, the bar code was almost impossible for the ticket writers to catch with scanners,
she said.
"It goes on the front wind-shield," Hutline said. "For us, the consistency that they are all in the same place will cut down on errors."
Students can pick up permits at the west parking garage, north of Allen Fieldhouse, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Detours remain

Experience It Now.
Drivers navigating through campus this summer had to take a few extra turns.
Construction at the intersection of 15th Street and Naismith Drive forced drivers to take a different route down Irving Hill Road to Burdick Drive. The detour has made it difficult for people going to and from campus.
"They still have some work to do on the north side of Murphy," said Greg Wade, landscape architect for design and construction management. "However, Naismith is now open to traffic."
Jenny and Ted Pastrano, Lawrence residents, said they were eager for the construction to end.
"They need to hurry up and finish," Jenny Pastrano said. "You can't drive north, so you have to re-route."

Ted Pastrano said, "We couldn't get to the garage and had to find a spot somewhere else. I
"We are always looking and working with the advisory board in the best interest of pedestrian traffic." Long said.
At least one student was not concerned about the detours.
"I actually haven't been here to take classes, but have been driving through campus," Amanda Faletra, Lawrence sophomore, said. "It hasn't been too bad."
Wade said that crews were installing a storm sewer on Naismith Drive because of water problems around Murphy Hall that would cost about $130,000.
"They've had some water infiltrating the building on the lower level," Wade said. "It caused some damage to some offices and storage areas."
Wade said there would be two pedestrian crosswalks with refuge islands. A refuge island is a stop in the middle of the street that protects pedestrians from traffic.
Wade said the street was too wide at that point with no clear crosswalk, which made getting to the other side difficult.
"Now you won't feel like a target," Wade said.
Jim Long, vice provost for planning and facilities management, said that a storm sewer was the only way to fix the problem. The sewer will take rain water away from the building and move it south through the new piping.
The road work on 15th Street was completely separate. It was started to make crossing the street easier for pedestrians. Long said the project was developed by the
Also on 15th street, crews are realigning the bus stops to accommodate the new crosswalks.
Wade said to expect the storm sewer project to continue through the middle of September, but 15th Street should be completed sooner.
"I think that we can safely say that the bulk of the work will be done this week," Wade said.

CAMPUS New exhibit at Dole Institute
A new exhibit is in the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on West Campus this fall. "Leader of the Pack: Life as a Senate Leader" chronicles a day in the life of Sen. Bob Dole, who, from 1985 to 1996, served as Senate Republican Party Leader.
The exhibit contains items taken from Dole's desk when he retired from the Senate in 1996. Items include his schedule book and other items never before seen by the public.
Two graduate students who intermed at the institute this summer, Martina Smith and Emily Lowrance-Floyd, designed the exhibit, which was made to resemble Dole's desk.
Judy Sweets, the photo archivist for the Dole Institute who oversaw the project, said the objects in the exhibit gave a snapshot of Dole's busy life at that time that people don't normally get to see.
"It's just things you'd find on an ordinary desk, probably," she said. "But these are pretty special."
kansan.com
The exhibit opened on Aug. 1 and, for now, is scheduled to stay up until Sept. 1 in Hansen Hall of the Dole Institute.
"We've had a good response to the exhibit, so we may let it stay up a bit longer." Sweets said.
University offices to stay open longer
Some offices at the University of Kansas will be extending office hours this week to help accommodate new and returning students. Today through Thursday, office hours for those departments will be 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Some offices include the Parking Department, Student Financial Aid, the Department of Student Housing, New Student Orientation and the Computing Help Desk.
Rich Morrell, associate vice provost of student success, said this change made it a little easier for students adjusting to campus life.
"We're just trying to be student-friendly" Morrell said.
Morrell said the Office of Student Success started extending office hours on the first day of the semester, last spring.

EDWARDS CAMPUS
Jayhawk Central adds 'real campus' feel
MICHAEL PHILLIPS

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
OVERLAND PARK - The KU Edwards campus became more like its Lawrence counterpart last weekend with the opening of Jayhawk Central, a casual meeting place for students.
The building, 12520 Quivira Rd., is home to the KU bookstore and a coffee shop and has room for a food vendor. A basement floor has been reserved for research by KU faculty.
"We wanted to create a place where students can meet with each other before and after class, and socialize a little bit more than they've been able to," said Bob Clark, vice chancellor of the Edwards Campus.
Grand opening festivities started Thursday night with an appearance by women's basketball head coach Bonnie Henrickson.
After fielding questions about next year's team, Henrickson urged the crowd to check out the bookstore and
get some gear.
"It doesn't matter how old you are, it's all about the gear," she said, joking.
Kids activities were set up outside as well, including a moonwalk, bungee run and an appearance by the spirit squad.
Friday night the campus played host to a free concert by the Midday Ramblers.
Bob and Betty Becker brought their 5-year-old grandson, Nathan Hassed, to the Thursday night activities.
"The expansion is one of the greatest things to happen to this area." Betty Becker said.
The Edwards Campus has tripled in size over the past two years, and Clark said that Jayhawk Central was a natural extension of that growth.
"Students have told me already that this feels like a real campus now, and that's exactly what we wanted to achieve," he said.
A survey conducted in 2004 allowed students to provide input on the new building and what would be included.

"Most of our students are working, and this gives them an opportunity to come in and get refocused on their classes." Clark said.
Classroom size at the Edwards Campus increased last August with the opening of Regnier Hall, a 82,000-squarefoot building with classrooms, offices and an auditorium.
That auditorium played host to Henrickson's speech, as well as the concert by the Midday Ramblers, Thursday evening. Both buildings are adjacent to the campus' main parking lot.
The KU bookstore will serve more than just students. Clark said that 26,000 cars would drive by the building on Quivira Road every day, which will be open to non-students as well.

SCIENCE
Government to fund fuel cell research
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT trobinett@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas' Transportation Research Institute may use $14.5 million it received from the U.S. Congress to fund projects on new fuel sources.
The institute will receive slightly more than $2.4 million annually for six years. Many researchers will compete for the money.
"We've been working on this for about two years," Stuart Bell, dean of engineering, said. "To see this step of that effort be completed was very gratifying."
ter for Research to determine how the money is best distributed, said Jill Hummels, public relations director of engineering. They will evaluate the projects currently under way and determine which have the greatest potential.
Bell will work with the KU Cen-
Trung Nguyen, professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, specializes in fuel cell research. Most of the funding for his research comes from the National Science Institute. He looks forward to the additional funding, he said.
Nguyen said the limited funding he had before did not allow for work on major fuel cells or devices.
"Now with more money, I can
move to different areas and use different fuel cell systems," Nguyen said.
According to www.utefuelcells.com, a fuel cell combines hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the air to generate electricity continuously. Many things can be powered by fuel cells, including vehicles. Fuel cells produce heat and water and are more environmentally friendly than gasoline.
Nguyen uses solid oxide fuel cells, which operate at around 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. With additional funding, he plans to instead use proton exchange membrane fuel cells. They perform at a more convenient temperature, 175
degrees Fahrenheit. Nguyen said.
Fuel cell cost has decreased over 300 percent during his 18 years of research, Nguyen said. But fuel cells are still expensive because they use platinum. Researchers can replace many other fuel cell components with cheaper materials, however, and thereby further reduce the cost.
Although Bell has not yet decided how all of the money will be dispersed, he said Nguyen will likely receive some of it.
"Fuel cells were certainly something we had in mind when we started all of this," Bell said.

NATIONAL Lines at airports may speed up
WASHINGTON -The federal agency in charge of aviation security is considering major changes in how it screens airline passengers, including proposals that an official said would lift the ban on carrying razor blades and small knives as well as limit patdown searches.
called for a broad review in hopes of making airline screening more passenger-friendly.
The Transportation Security Administration will meet later this month to discuss the plan, which is designed to reduce checkpoint hassles for the nation's 2 million passengers. It comes after TSA's new head, Edmund S. "Kip" Hawley,
An initial set of staff recommendations drafted Aug. 5 also proposes that passengers no longer have to routinely remove their shoes during security checks. Instead, only passengers who set off metal detectors, are flagged by a computer screening system or look "reasonably suspicious" would be asked to do so, a TSA official said Saturday.
Any of the changes proposed by the staff, which also would allow scissors, ice picks and bows and arrows on flights, would require Hawley's approval, this official said.

Students who come from far away say tough to get around
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Carla Hermida was not overly concerned about getting around when she arrived in Lawrence.
She thought she could just take a taxi, but when Hermida, Cuenca, Ecuador, graduate student, realized she had no effective mode of transportation, she got worried. Fortunately, a friend of Hermida's from Bolivia offered Hermida transportation and a temporary place to stay. Hermida's friend also cared for Hermida's two children while she hunted for a more permanent home.
"Lawrence is manageable, but when trying to find a place without a car of your own, it's tough getting around," Hermida said.
While most incoming students have their housing and transportation issues settled long before they step on campus, it's a different story for international students.
They are bombarded with paperwork and medical exams, and because Lawrence is so far from home, they often arrive still in need of transportation and a place to live.
This semester's New International Student Orientation took place August 7 through 12. During the orientation, international students were housed in Naismith Hall because of its proximity to campus.
"If we couldn't find housing by Friday, we're out on the street." Geiger said.
Living in Naismith was convenient for students during orientation, but students like Markus Geiger, Stuttgart, Germany, graduate student, expressed concern about finding permanent housing before orientation ended.
That is why staff and volunteers worked hard during the week to accommodate the international students' needs. The students were provided with free shuttle rides from nearly 40 volunteers, including Lawrence residents and former international students. The volunteers took the students everywhere they needed to go: to the bank, grocery shopping and even apartment hunting.
Viva Bolova, Varna, Bulgaria, graduate student, is one of the orientation assistants who volunteered to provide transportation for the students.
Bolova said she knew how
Lawrence is manageable but when trying to find a place without a car of your own, it's tough getting around."
Carla Hermida Graduate student
hard it was for international students because she was once in their position. On top of that, Bolova said her presence saved a lot of time and made it safer for the students.
"I know where they need to go and what paper work is necessary. Some don't have social security numbers or do not speak English as well. I'm here to give them the help that they need during this time," Bolova said.
Brooke Payne, Greeley, Colo., graduate student and orientation coordinator, said that there had been an influx of international students this year who wanted off-campus housing.
Payne attributed this to a combination of limited spaces in student housing, as well as the students' desire for greater independence.
After six hours of searching for off-campus housing with an orientation staff member, Geiger, the graduate student from Germany, eventually found an apartment on Emery Road. He said he would prefer living off campus because the rules were not as strict as they were in student housing and he would have more space and privacy.
Because transportation options are relatively limited to the bus systems or walking, most international students try to find housing on Massachusetts Street or close to campus.
Payne estimated that only three or four international students have their own cars when they initially arrive in Lawrence.
Even though students got frustrated at times, Payne said transportation and housing did fall into place for international students. She compared the process to putting together a puzzle.
"Eventually everything does work out and everyone finds a home." Payne said.

NIGHTLIFE
Bars attract diverse crowds
Venues use music and theme nights to bring patrons
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In an effort to draw as many varying cultural groups as possible to bars every night, Lawrence bar owners have created social events geared toward different ethnicities.
Increasingly, they are starting to extend past drink specials and offer weekly theme nights for various groups. This benefits not only the bars, but diverse communities take advantage of these opportunities to get together on a frequent basis.
Sue Mee, owner of Henry's Upstairs, 11 E. Eighth St., said she left it to her bartenders to come up with themes to create more excitement on weekday nights.
Family Night is what resulted, she said.
"There are few opportunities for the LGTB community to get together in a social but laid back environment and Family Night provides that," Daugherty said.
Every Tuesday, now for more than a year, has been a time for those in the lesbian, gay, trans gender and bisexual community to socialize and gather.
Mark Mendes, Henry's Upstairs bartender, chose Wednesday night to be International Night. Mendes plays music from different cultures
Kathleen Daughty, Topka senior, said she liked Henry's on any night because it had a communal and also cosmopolitan feel unique to Lawrence. Family Night was just an added bonus, she said.
"We take pride in the diversity of people the bar attracts."

John Morgan, May 2005 graduate, pours a chocolate martini upstairs at Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., Thursday night. The chocolate martini is one the most popular drinks there. Morgan said.
"That way I know what part of the world they are from," Mendes said, who is also Indian.
Last Call, a bar located at 729 New Hampshire St., brings in different events, DJs and music each week in order to attract and retain a diverse crowd.
On Fridays the bar has live shows featuring an eclectic mix of genres, from raves to erotic fetish parties to hip hop acts.
"We take pride in the diversity of people the bar attracts," Jason Stoffer, bar manager of Last Call, said.
A newer addition to Last Call's Friday night rotation is Prashant, a desi performer who features trance, electronic and other music made popular in South Asia.

BUSINESS
Pasta company under fire
BY MATT SEDENSKY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A class-action lawsuit was filed Friday against American Italian Pasta Co., claiming the country's leading dry pasta maker repeatedly misrepresented its corporate health to unwitting shareholders.
Aren't you glad we're not the Union
The lawsuit filed by Radnor, Pa.-based Schiffrin & Barroway LLP came three days after the pasta maker announced it would delay the release of third-quarter earnings as an internal investigation looked into possible accounting lapses.
The suit names a single shareholder, Michael Stengle, as a
plaintiff, though it is filed on behalf of anyone who owned shares of American Italian Pasta between Oct. 25, 2000, and Tuesday. That's when the plaintiff claims the truth finally began to emerge from American Italian Pasta.
(The suit) claims the company failed to account for millions of dollars.
The suit says Oct. 25, 2000, was the start of a series of misleading press releases from the company that painted an inaccurate picture of American Italian by omitting numerous facts. It claims the company failed to properly account for millions of dollars in expenses and did not effectively deal with slow-moving, damaged and discontinued inventories, among other corporate lapses, all unknown to
investors.
It amounted to a lack of internal controls and violation of accounting principles that materially inflated American Italian's financial reports, the suit said.
After the close of markets Tuesday, American Italian Pasta announced its audit
Messages left Friday afternoon with officials at the company and lawyers involved in the suit were not returned.
committee has tapped outside counsel to investigate adjustments to financial statements and possible past accounting errors as far back as the 2000 fiscal year.
It also said the Philadelphia and New York stock exchanges raised questions in late 2004 and early this year about trading activity in the company's stock by outside investors around the time of company announcements. The company said it had notified the Securities and Exchange Commission of the questions and was cooperating with the inquiries.
Shares of American Italian Pasta closed down 6 cents Friday at $13.24.

Battalion prepares to join Kansas unit serving in Iraq
No laurels to rest on
TOPEKA - About 500 Kansas Army National Guard soldiers have received deployment orders for duty in Iraq, the adjutant general's office said Thursday.
Soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 137th Infantry (Mechanized) will head to Fort Sill, Okla., before deploying to Baghdad.
The battalion traces its history back to the Civil War and has nicknamed itself "1st Kansas," because it previously was designated as the 1st Infantry Regiment, Kansas Volunteer Militia. The unit saw action in both world wars, including the invasion of Normandy in 1944.
The soldiers will be operating the Joint Visitors Bureau in Baghdad and be responsible for area security, Trafton said.
"After several warning orders for mobilization this past year, the soldiers of 1st Kansas are ready to do our mission in Iraq," said Lt. Col. James Trafton, commander of the unit.
Eskimo Joes
The battalion is headquartered in Kansas City, Kan., with units in Lawrence and Wichita. Roughly 350 soldiers from the battalion were sent to Germany in 2002 for duty under Operation Enduring Freedom, generally referred to as the nation's war against terrorism.
About 700 soldiers from the 891st Engineer Battalion based in Iola are serving a yearlong tour in Iraq.
Three Kansas National Guard soldiers have died in Iraq since the war began in 2003.

Misprint attracts bargain scavengers
LOCAL
The Lawrence Journal- World said it settled a complaint over a misprinted legal advertisement that was blamed for thefts from a woman's apartment.
The paper published a paid notice last month advising readers that items left at 1319 Tennessee St., Apt. 3, would be thrown out if unclaimed. Police said the occupant of that address, Kris Bryan, returned home July 26 to find several people loading her belongings into their vehicle.
One problem:The address was supposed to be 1339 Tennessee, not 1319.
"Just that ad in the newspaper doesn't give someone permission to go in and take items," Bryan said. The police spokesman said it was
"I was freaking out," 22-year old Bryan told Kansas City, Mo., television station KMBC. "I told them, 'That's my apartment — there's been some mistake.'"
Sgt. Dan Ward, a spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, said Bryan confronted the people at her home, who showed her the Journal-World ad. They returned the items they had taken, but others had already made off with an estimated $3,300 worth of possessions — everything from a TV and a DVD player to video games and Bryan's 7-week-old kitten.
The police spokesman said it was unclear how people got into Bryan's home. There

The Journal-World's chief operating officer, Ralph Gage, said the matter has been settled, though he would not elaborate on the terms.

STATE Prairie park opens views to visititors
Visitors to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve soon will have reason to linger longer.
Three new trails will open Aug.15 at the site near Cottonwood Falls in the middle of the Flint Hills, ranging from four miles to six miles in length. The new trails will wind up and down the hills with views of the last vestiges of the historic prairie.
The new trails, he said will give people the experience of seeing the land "through the eyes of the early pioneer. It will be dramatically different than now," said Allan Pollorn, director of the Kansas chapter of The Nature Conservancy.
Park supporters say the trails represent progress for the preserve.
The preserve was established in 1996 through a unique arrangement in which the National Park Trust purchased nearly 11,000 acres around a '32-acre park owned by the National Park Service.
Ninety-five percent of the world's surviving tallgrass prairie is in Kansas.

Power plant agreement
BY JOHN MILBURN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - Directors of a western Kansas utility have approved an agreement with a Colorado electric cooperative to construct and operate two new coal-fired power plants in Finney County.
The agreement between Sunflower Electric Power Corp., based in Hays, and Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association Inc., of Westminster, Colo., calls for the construction of two 600-megawatt generating plants at Sunflower's Holcomb Station in southwest Kansas.
Sunflower responded to a request for proposals issued by Tri-State less than a year ago.
"That option operationally and economically was the most feasible of the options that we analyzed," Van Someren said.
Van Someren said Tri-State
would invest $2.5 billion in the Holcomb plants, plus $700 million for as much as 550 miles of transmission lines to a site near Lamar, Colo.
He said Tri-State also is developing a $1.8 billion plant in Colorado to keep up with growing demand in the Front Range, the area of the state east of the Rocky Mountains that includes Boulder, Colorado Springs and Denver. Demand in that area is increasing at a rate of 100 megawatts a year, he said. One megawatt is enough power to supply 400 to 1,000 homes.
"The whole West is in a generation deficit," Van Someren said.
Sunflower has been looking to expand its operations for the past five years, said senior manager Steve Miller.
The plants would be built alongside Sunflower's 360 megawatt coal plant in Holcomb. Miller said the site was designed in the 1980s to handle additional units. Sunflower has secured all necessary permits.
Power will be moved through new 345,000-volt transmission lines stretching from the Holcomb plant into eastern Colorado.
"We recognized long ago that our site was well-positioned for transmission," Miller said Thursday. "In essence, we're extending the Western power grid east."
Sunflower expects the project to create hundreds of new jobs during construction and operation.
"All of us have worked hard for a very long time to get to this point in the project," said Sunflower's president and chief executive officer Earl Watkins.
Rosemary Foreman, spokeswoman for the Kansas Corporation Commission, said the
agreement to build the power plants doesn't require the regulatory agency's approval. However, the companies may need KCC's authority to place transmission lines.
Sunflower is a regional wholesale power supplier with a system of 595 megawatts of natural gas and coal plants. It supplies power to six member cooperatives and 118,000 customers in western Kansas. It also sells power to regional utilities in western Kansas and 10 states.
Sunflower isn't the only Kansas utility looking at building new power plants.
Topeka-based Westar Energy Inc., the state's largest electric utility, wants to build two natural gas-powered units to add between 150 megawatts and 200 megawatts of capacity by 2008. It also wants to build a coal-fired plant with at least 800 megawatts of capacity by 2013.
Despite the new plan's higher costs, Student Senate believes the new choice is a good one for domestic students.

Nick Sterner, student body president, said because the new plan was designed for only the University it can offer benefits above the state-sponsored Regents' plan.

"You'll save money in a lot of different ways," the Shawnee senior said. "I'm very happy about it."

But international students are in the dark about the new plan.
International students may get their health insurance from the University, whether through the Regents' plan, the new Senate plan or another plan specifically designed for international students. They also may use coverage from their home country or an off-campus plan if the coverage meets the requirements of the University.

health insurance from the University, but he wasn't sure which plan he used.
Parriera said Senate's plan provided only slightly better benefits than the plan offered for international students. He said he didn't think too many international students would opt for the Senate plan.
Though the new plan may look unattractive to international students, Parriera said it could be excellent for other students.
"This plan has much better coverage than the Regents' plan, and, for the domestic students, it is worth the premium's difference," Parriera said.

State requests videotape from BTK psychologist
WICHITA — Preparing for next week's sentencing of Dennis Rader, the confessed BTK serial killer who terrorized Wichita for years, the state wants a copy of a neuropsychologist's video-taped interview with him.
In papers filed Wednesday, Kevin O'Connor, the deputy district attorney for Sedgwick County, said the interview was scheduled to be broadcasted Friday night on "Dateline NBC." The network has been promoting the interview conducted by Harvard neuropsychologist Robert Mendoza as "the first exclusive look inside the mind of the man."
Mendoza is a founding partner in Cambridge Forensic Consultants of Chestnut Hill, Mass., which Rader's attorneys consulted with in trying to build a defense for him.
"Several requests of counsel for the above information have been rejected or ignored," O'Connor said.
In his motion filed with the Sedgwick County District Court, O'Connor said prosecutors are entitled to all notes, reports, psychological test results and information about fees paid to Mendoza for his services.
Defense lawyers agreed to provide any information they had from Mendoza's evaluation, but they said they did not have any videotapes that may have been made during the process.
communications resumed last year, eventually leading to Rader's arrest.
Rader, arrested in February, pleaded guilty on June 27 to killing 10 people in the Wichita area between 1974 and 1991. In communications to police and the news media, he had given himself the nickname BTK, which stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill." After more than two decades of silence, the cryptic
O'Connor said in his motion that the videotaped interview was conducted after Rader entered his pleas. He said that if the defense calls Mendoza for testimony at the sentencing hearing, the state should be able to examine any reports and tapes produced during Rader's evaluation.
In written excerpts provided to The Associated Press by "Dateline," Rader explained the sexual fantasies that he says motivated him to kill.
"You have to have the control, which is the bonding. That's been a big thing with me. My sexual fantasy is of ... if I'm going to kill a victim or do something to the victim, is having them bound and tied. In my dreams, I had what they called torture chambers. And to relieve your sexual fantasies you have to go to the kill," he said.
"Dateline" also quoted Rader as telling Mendoza that he saw his victims as objects.
"I had more satisfaction building up to it and afterwards than I did the actual killing of the person," he said.
Rader also said there were "a lot of lucky people out there" he considered killing but didn't.
"I can't stop it ... it controls me. ... That's probably the reason we're sitting here. You know, if I could just say, 'No, I don't want to do this and go crawl into a hole.' But it's driving me."
It was not clear how NBC obtained the videotape it has been promoting. A spokeswoman said it is network policy not to discuss the newsgathering process. A call left at Mendoza's office Thursday was not returned.

Lake under study
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIVERTON — Scientists are analyzing sediment taken from Empire Lake to determine how mining fields in southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri might have affected the water.
Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey will examine a core sample taken from the lake to determine how much lead and zinc has been deposited in the sediment over the years.
John F. Miesner, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the lake might be dredged if the analysis showed the sediment was heavily contaminated and a threat to aquatic life.
"What we need to understand first is the extent and magnitude of the problem," said Miesner, who gathered with representatives of the Geological Survey
Miesner noted that it wouldn't be sensible to dredge Empire Lake if lead and zinc continued to seep into Spring River, which starts in Missouri and flows into Kansas before entering Oklahoma.
near Lowell Dam on Tuesday to explain core sampling and how the study might affect cleanup of abandoned lead and zinc mining sites. "After we know that, we can look at the options, which could include dredging."
The Environmental Protection Agency has a $67 million plan to clean up the most troublesome southwest Missouri sites, though cleanup could be years away.
Biologists have found that some aquatic birds, such as mallards, have been affected by pollution in the lake. Some birds died because of too much exposure to zinc and other heavy metals.
Scientists already have examined streambed sediment at 87 sites in the Spring River and Tar Creek watersheds. Tar Creek starts in Kansas and flows into Oklahoma.
The sampling of streambed sediments revealed lead concentrations as high as 7,400 parts per million and zinc concentrations as high as 45,000 parts per million. The concentrations were heaviest in streams near extensively mined areas.
Natural background concentrations for lead should be about 20 parts per million, according to the Geological Survey. It should be less than 100 parts per million for zinc.
Mike Pope with the Geological Survey said the sediment study should be finished by the end of next year.
Political ad sparks debate
STATE GOVERNMENT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — State Securities Commissioner Chris Biggs is the target of Republican criticism for a new advertising campaign that warns Kansas consumers about getting bilked by shady investors.
Biggs, a member of Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius administration, called it a campaign to protect Kansans. Republicans called it a shameless political promotion.
"Our message is simple: 'Don't get scammed'," Biggs said.
The ads are being aired on radio and television statewide to raise awareness of securities fraud. In the TV commercial, a man agonizes over losing his shirt in an illegal investment scheme.
Biggs then appears on camera, warning, "Call our office and investigate before you invest."
He announced the campaign
Wednesday at news conferences in Wichita and Topeka.
"It's blatant campaigning at the expense of the state. We know it. He knows it. There's lots of frauds and scams out there. I'm not certain he didn't just perpetrate one," said State GOP Chairman Tim Shallenburger.
In 2002, Biggs was Geary County prosecutor when he almost defeated Republican Phill Kline in the attorney general's race.
After he lost, Sebelius named him securities commissioner.
Although there has been talk about a Kline-Biggs rematch next year, the commissioner hasn't said whether he will run and said he had no control over speculation about his political future.
"Obviously, I'm going to have to make a decision," he said.
Republicans say Biggs is trying to raise his name identification. The marketing firm that produced the commercials is the same one that worked on his 2002 campaign.
"It's pretty obvious," Shallen-burger said. "We all chuckled at it. Here's a guy that's running for something."
The campaign to warn Kansas consumers cost about $400,000 and was paid with fines collected from those violating state securities law. It didn't involve any tax money.
Kline, who held a series of news conferences Wednesday promoting a new domestic violence program, declined to criticize Biggs.
"I'll focus on my shop. He can focus on his," he said.
Democrats dismissed the criticism.
"The securities commission ad campaign is designed specifically to protect and inform Kansas investors," said Mike Gaughan, executive director of the Kansas Democratic Party.

I have a burgeoning dilemma that assuredly plenty of readers can
relate to: I want to specialize in everything.
The more stimulating books I read, the more compelling classes I take, the more friends I add to my eclectic circle, the more theoretical frameworks I become familiar with, the greater my difficulty in deciding—well, anything.
I continue to accrue more interests, majors, opinions, travel plans, and sentence length; most of which have a regrettably positive correlation to my student loan debts.
I approached this column with an eagerness to jot down my numerous thoughts, but my dilemma quickly surfaced in the form of writer's block. This impediment manifested before beginning to write the column itself. I figured choosing an applicable title would help in my struggle to find a suitable focus. "M us-ings of a Muck-

To be less ethnocentric and
to exhibit fairness to the other countries of the Western Hemisphere, I settled on United-Statesian culture.
And before you could say "Perspicacious Perceptions of a Progressive Polemic," Prestof I thought of a name for my column: Culture Shock.

The names only got worse. I once again gave in to my penchant for alliteration and briefly considered "Seditious Sentiments". Now, I may have concerns over the inequalities of the current system, but I entertain no delusions of grandeur that my little Kansan column will foment revolution. However, just to be safe, I think we should run a disclaimer: Sarah Stacy is not responsible for any treason as a result of her column.
As I do not always float with the currents of the mainstream, my ideas will not be popular at times, and I encourage my readers to write letters to the editor to present a different way to look at an issue or add to my argument. However, I request that all disagreements remain civil and enlightening. My aim is to identify and examine perceived irrationality or injustices in our culture and then provide a voice of reason.
I think this experience will allow me to discard or alter some of my beliefs while influencing the beliefs of others.
With this introduction out of the way, expect less future tense in the future, and the addition of a topical focal point. So the journey begins.

The Kansan plans to better serve its community through Web site features such as online polls.
The topic of our first poll asks whether we should change the format of the print edition. Throughout the country, newspapers continue to change their formats from the traditional broadsheet version—the format we currently run —to a tabloid or Berliner format. For an example of a tabloid format, look to the summer editions of the Kansan. The Berliner format is a
few inches taller, but still opens as a book or magazine would.
Some readers said a tabloid format was not only easier to read, but easier to manage and hold.
On the other side of the argument, the tabloid format takes away from the tradition The University Daily Kansan started with the broadsheet more than 100 years ago in 1904. Some readers have said they thought a change in format might take away from the credibility of the publication.

HISTORY
Pilot reflects on WWII crash
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Willard "Mac" McLain's story of survival after his bomber was shot down over occupied France is like the plot of a movie, a five-month journey of intrigue and danger, avoiding the murderous Nazi Gestapo while moving secretly through an underground network of French resistance fighters.
As America observes the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II this month, the 83-year-old McLain is among a dwindling number of men and women still around to tell the tales.
When McLain visits the VA hospital in Tampa, veterans of the Korean War, Vietnam War
and the Gulf War seem to outnumber the World War II guys now.
"We're disappearing." he savs.
Of the 16.1 million Americans who served during the war, fewer than 4 million are still alive. With the youngest of them in their late 70s, they're dying off at a rate of about 1.000 a day.
McLain, then a 21-year-old Colorado ranch worker, was drafted in July 1942 but enlisted in the Army Air Corps hoping to be an airplane mechanic instead of a foot soldier.
He ended up as a ball turret gunner in a B-17 bomber squadron based in central England. His job involved folding his 5-foot-9 frame into a near fetal
position inside the ball turre that rotated in the belly of the aircraft, then blasting away at attacking German fighters with a pair of 50-caliber machine guns.
"We were a bunch of green farm kids, most of us," McLain says of his crew mates on the plane, nicknamed "Black Ghost." "I barely knew where England was."
They flew in daylight bombing raids over Germany and occupied France, terrifying flights depicted in movies such as "Twelve O'Clock High" and "Memphis Belle."
Two out of three young men — their average age was 20 — who flew on those missions did not survive the war.
crew survived 13 missions, but anti-aircraft flak and the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt and Focke-Wulf fighters claimed the airplane on Sept. 6, 1943.
With the damaged bomber kept aloft by just one of its four engines, pilot Ralph Puipher ordered the crew to bail out. McLain jumped from 10,000 feet. A German fighter circled his parachute, the pilot waving at him before peeling off.
He hid in a forest while Nazi spotter planes circled overhead. The next day, he approached a farmer and, despite the language barrier, learned that the man knew someone in the Underground, the resistance movement.
During the next few months, McLain moved from the home
of one family to another in the Underground, dressed as a farmer and getting forged identification papers. He moved among Nazi soldiers who might have shot him if they had known his identity.
From Paris he caught a train to the south of France, where in January 1944 he found himself among 62 aviators — American, British, Canadian and Australian — sent to smugglers who were paid to take them across the rugged Pyrenees to neutral Spain.
They traveled only at night in sometimes waist-deep snow. No fires were allowed, food was scarce and their feet were soon blistered and frostbitten.
On the third night, the smugglers disappeared and the airmen trudged into a Spanish town _ where they were immediately thrown in prison.
Within days, however, they were taken to Gibraltar and put on a plane back to London. McLain returned to the States, where he trained other men to fly B-17 missions.
All 10 of the "Black Ghost" crewmen survived, although six of them were captured and spent the rest of the war in a German prison camp. They held reunions over the years, but only three are still alive.
McLain says his experiences in the war gave him perspective that still serves him well.
"I think it impacted my philosophy of life to the point that I consider life dear," he says, "and I take it day by day."

Theft
"We just want to get across to students that they should lock their doors, take precautions to secure valuables," he said.
Students shouldn't rely on police to make an arrest in most incidents. The clearance rate for burglary investigations was 20 percent in Lawrence in 2004; nationwide, it's 13.1 percent, according to the City of Lawrence Police Department Web site.
Adults are often arrested for the crimes, but a significant number of juveniles are as well, Ward said. Information on whether the suspects include students is not available because police don't record that information in arrest records.
Theft is consistently the number one crime on campus, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the University of Kansas Public Safety Office. The majority of auto burglaries on
campus and burglaries in residence halls occur because students leave windows open and doors unlocked.
According to the Office of Public Safety Web site, 84 residence burglaries and 60 automobile burglaries were reported within the University in 2004.
Both Barrick's business and its neighbor, Ace Steering and Brake Service Inc., 541 Minnesota St., had no theft problems for two years and operated in Lawrence for decades, he said.
If vehicles contain valuables they are stored inside, Barrick said. The business lacks video surveillance, but lights shine on the lot and building, especially in front, where the cars were located, he said.
"We usually try to keep cars locked before we leave," he said. "It somehow didn't work out this time."
Police have no suspects in the burglary, Ward said.

Sharing space

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU Public Safety Office, the department of mammalogy and a portion of the department of entomology have found a new home in the former KU Printing Services building, 2425 W.15th St.
The public safety office, currently located inside CarruthO'Leary Hall, southwest of Memorial Stadium, plans to move in the spring of 2006. Mammalogy, the study of mammals, and entomology, the study of insects, hope to move from their current location in Snow Hall in the fall of 2006.
"We hope to optimize the benefits of the building space for the benefits of the institutions," said Brad Kemp, assistant director of public affairs for the Natural History Museum.
An increased amount of space in the new building is the main reason for the re-locations.
The science departments combined will take up about 25,000 of the 35,000 square feet in the new building located at 15th and Crestline. Entomology currently occupies between 7,000 and 8,000 square feet in Snow Hall.
Mammalogy plans to move all of its offices and its collection to the new location; entomology wants to move only a part of its collection.
The public safety office plans to have a dispatch room, offices, a training room and locker rooms in the new building, and will occupy about 7,500 square feet in the new location. It currently has 3,500 square feet in Carruth-O'Leary Hall.
The departments will request funding from the National Science Foundation. Kemp said they could receive funding at any time, but physically moving the collections would take up to a
Moving the mammalogy and the entomology departments is a complex process that requires time and funding. Kemp said.
"We haven't had any additional space since we moved into Carruth-O'Leary in 1984, and that was supposed to be temporary," said Chief Ralph Oliver of the Public Safety Office.
"Right now, we've just done an assessment of the state of things," Kemp said.
year.
Some of the space in Snow Hall that is currently used by entomology will be occupied for the department of economics when it moves from its current location in Summerfield Hall. But the date of this re-location is still uncertain, said Teri Chambers, a graduate secretary in economics.
"The University says a year to a year and a half, but if there are bumps in the road it will probably be two," Chambers said.
The soon-to-be vacant space in Carruth O'Leary Hall is still up for grabs, Oliver said.

Edited by Nate Karlin
Slayer sentenced
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUVERNE, Ala. - A judge ordered a death sentence Friday for a man convicted of gunning down six members of his girlfriend's family at their rural home, a ruling that rejected the jury's recommendation of life in prison without parole.
Westley Devon Harris, 25, was convicted of capital murder in the 2002 slayings, which one prosecutor called an "unspeakable horror."
"This was not an easy decision because of my personal beliefs," said Circuit Judge Ed McFerrin, who had never imposed the death penalty before.
Prosecutor Troy King had urged McFerrin not to feel bound by the jury's 7-5 vote recommending life without parole.
Harris was convicted of gunning down six members of Janice Ball's family at their south Alabama farm during a daylong killing spreie on Aug. 26, 2002, leaving dead her grandmother, mother, father and three teenage brothers.
Authorities said Harris then fled for three days with Ball and their 1-year-old daughter. Ball, who was 16 at the time, later became the government's key witness.
West Robinson said his son remained calm and was looking hopefully toward the appeals process.
But relatives of the victims said they felt satisfied after hearing McFerrin ordered Harris be put to death.
Prosecutors said during the trial that Harris killed the victims because he was angry that they had tried to keep him away from Ball and their daughter.

Lawrence freshman Caitlin Shanks receives the John Foster Memorial College Scholarship Thursday at the Lawrence Police Department. The scholarship is awarded to children of active full-time Kansas law enforcement officers.

People were always afraid of Caitlin Shanks' dad during high school. Now it pays to be a police officer's child.
Representatives of three law enforcement associations presented the John Foster Memorial College Scholarship for 2005 to Shanks, Lawrence freshman, last Thursday during a special ceremony in the Lawrence Police Department's Investigation and Training Center, 4820 Bob Billings Parkway.
Shanks is the second recipient of the scholarship, presented annually to a child of an
active full-time Kansas law enforcement officer for use at an accredited Kansas college.
The $2,100 scholarship honors the late John Foster, Lenexa chief of police until 1991 and sheriff of Johnson County at the time of his death on March 6, 2003. Foster was a member of Kansas law enforcement agencies for almost 40 years.
Shanks plans to apply the scholarship to tuition at the University of Kansas, where she will study English and political science, she said.
Shanks said she hoped to attend law school and become a human rights lawyer, she said.
"I don't want to be one of those lawyers who deals with
Botox," Shanks said.
Larry Welch, director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, required the six finalists to submit a letter of recommendation from a law enforcement official. After an interview, Ron Olin, Lawrence chief of police, endorsed her.
Acceptance of the scholarship does not obligate Shanks to pursue a career related to law enforcement. Olin said.
"I'm really excited," Shanks said. "This is a huge honor."
Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police, the Kansas Peace Officers Association and the Kansas Sheriff's Association, all of which raised the scholarship funds internally and without public funding, said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
Foster was a member of the
Shanks earned a cumulative 4.0 grade point average from Lawrence High School in 2005. She received three other scholarships: the Bob and Marlene Whittaker Leadership Scholarship, the Lawrence Education Association Scholarship and a Fraternal Order of Police scholarship.

STUDENT HOUSING
Out with old, in with new
Stephenson Hall gains new residents in wake of last year's problems.
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For most scholarship hall residents, returning to school means visiting familiar faces. That's not the case for the men of Stephenson Scholarship Hall, 1404 Alumni Place, as 35 new members join the hall this year.
The repopulation of the hall comes after several incidents last year in which residents damaged items in their building and received complaints about rowdy behavior. With fewer members returning to the hall, everyone understands that the hall will experience a transition.
"There's going to be a lot of changes because most of the kids are going to be new. At the beginning of the year there will be lots of learning," said Kyle Davis, Topea sophomore, who lived in the hall last year.
The department asked Stee-
phenson Hall residents last year to reaffirm their commitments to the hall. Some students did not want to follow the guidelines and decided to leave, while others made the commitment to better the hall, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
1
Stoner said expectations and leadership qualities needed improvement, and with returning residents looking to better the hall, he said he thought the men would grow in those areas.
With so many new residents, Gorman said he has mixed feelings about the past along with changes that will take place this year.
"They are trying to get the people who are coming back a sense of what it means to be in a scholarship hall," he said.
Thomas Gorman, Topeka sophomore, returned to the hall this year and said he thought plans for the hall included a structure that reflects the scholarship community.
Gorman also said that while
"I don't really think it was a good change as to how they did it, but it might make the hall a better place to live, such as scholarly attitude," Gorman said.
it will be difficult losing a number of members, the hall can provide a better living environment for residents.
"Some of that stuff has actually been lost because we've lost so many kids this last year and I don't think that got passed on to the kids vet," he said.
When the old students were kicked out, traditions left as well, Davis said.
With so many new members coming in, some residents said they feel traditions such as songs about the hall and the annual football game between the old and new residents were lost.
One of the propose changes concerns the living environment of the hall. Dishes remained unwashed, creating a large mess, Davis said.
He said living in a dirty environment was not fun last year and needed to change.
Things will differ this year, but returning residents said they didn't want everything to change.
"There needs to be a balance of having fun and following the rules," Davis said.
New Stephenson residents said they are ready to experience the living environment provided by a scholarship community.
David Harvey, Overland Park freshman, recently received his notice about joining the hall and said he's ready to become a member.
While change may continue throughout the year, Gorman feels the atmosphere Stephenson Hall provides will remain the same.
"I'm honored to be accepted and glad to be a part of it," Harvey said.
"It will still be a pretty cool hall this semester," Gorman said.

RELIGION
Gay, lesbian community kept out of pulpit
Evangelical Lutheran Church says no to queers' clergy proposal
BY RACHEL ZOLL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — Gays and lesbians lashed out after the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America rejected a proposal that would have allowed them to serve as clergy in certain cases, saying they felt rejected by their own denomination.
The proposal was voted down Friday by delegates attending an ELCA national meeting. It would have affirmed the church ban on ordaining sexually active gays and lesbians but allowed exceptions for candidates in long-term relationships.
Goodsoil, a coalition of Lutheran groups advocating for full inclusion of gays, accused the church of "sacrificing (gays) on
the altar of a false and ephemeral sense of unity."
The Rev. G. Scott Cady of the New England Synod said rejecting gays who feel a call to ministry was tantamount to questioning the will of God.
"We have vacant pulpits and altars in congregations all over this country. We have people crying out for pastoral care," he said. "The Holy Spirit has said, 'All right, here they are. Here they are.' Are we going to now say, 'Thanks Holy Spirit, but we prefer something else.'"
Delegates voted against the measure 503-490. The proposal needed a two-thirds majority to pass.
New Jersey Synod Bishop Roy Riley, president of the ELCA's Council of Bishops, said
the delegates accurately reflected the mood of the 4.9 millionmember denomination.
"This church is not ready to make major changes in its ordination practices," he said. "That was the crux, really."
A final proposal on blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples was changed before it was approved and its impact remained unclear.
The gay ordination proposal and two others taken up at the meeting were based on years of work by a denominational task force on sexuality. Delegates overwhelmingly approved another of the panel's proposals, affirming church unity despite deep differences over homosexuality.
The measure upheld a 1993 Council of Bishops statement which bans such blessings and expresses "trust" in pastors ministering to gays and lesbians. Despite the prohibitions in the
statement, some Lutheran pastors have been presiding at these ceremonies without repercussions for years.
As debate on gay ordination began Friday, about 100 gay advocates wearing rainbow sashes walked silently to the front of the hall and stood in front of the stage where Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson was overseeing the meeting. They stood quietly and did not move for nearly two hours, dispersing only when the session ended.
During the debate, several delegates who believe the Bible condemns gay sex compared homosexuality to alcoholism or drug addiction, something that they should help fellow Christians overcome.
Louis Hesse of the Eastern Washington-Idaho Synod said those arguing for gay ordination had not made a convincing theological or scientific argument about why they were right.
GOVERNMENT
Lawmakers to clash over Social Security
BY MARY DALRYMPLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Lawmakers and interest groups are gearing up for a fight this fall over Social Security, each side hoping to use the retirement and disability program's 70th birthday to build momentum.
President Bush and House Republicans have yet to build a groundswell for shifting a portion of Social Security payroll taxes to individual accounts for younger workers. Whatever returns these investment accounts earn would supplement future benefits.
Bush's proposal for addressing a looming insolvency in the government retirement program by trimming future benefits for high and middle-income earners also has vet to get traction.
Interest groups and lawmakers on all sides are using the program's 70th anniversary Sunday as an occasion to kickstart a debate begun last winter when Bush made Social Security the centerpiece of his State of the Union address. That debate had faded by summer, but House Republicans still hope to vote on some version of the revisions this fall.
One group opposed to the idea of individual investment accounts held birthday baking contests and urged undecided lawmakers to "cut the cake, not the benefits." The organization, Americans United to Protect Social Security, also produced a birthday card "wishing for 70 more years of guaranteed benefits."
An electronic card from the opposite side of the debate, circulated by the Coalition for the Modernization and Protection of America's Social Security shows a Social Security birthday cake sliced and served. Without major reform, it warns, children will be left with the crumbs.
Democrats used two radio addresses this weekend to argue that the president's ideas put the dependable program on risky footing. "It has never been a day late or a dollar short," said Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo. "But now, that guaranteed benefit is being
threatened by a fabricated crisis and a false solution."
Bush traveled to more than two dozen states this winter and spring promoting his idea for letting younger workers divert a portion of their payroll taxes into individual investment accounts. All the while, wary Republicans in Congress advised their leaders against bringing the issue to a vote.
The White House says Bush will renew his focus after returning from a month of vacation. While he has succeeded in alerting the public about Social Security's problems, polls show that most Americans don't like his solution.
Treasury Secretary John Snow predicted last week that Congress will revamp Social Security this year.
Republicans still vow to produce legislation, but Democrats confidently predict it's too unpopular to pass.
House Republican leaders expect to schedule a vote in September or October. Lawmakers have introduced a bill that establishes individual investment accounts and deposits current surplus Social Security funds into them. Supporters say it prevents the government from using Social Security money to fund other government programs, but Democrats call it an accounting gimmick.
"The best way to celebrate Social Security's birthday would be to enact legislation that ensures Americans' hard-earned contributions to Social Security will be dedicated solely to paying Social Security benefits and not used to fund other programs," said Ways and Means Social Security Subcommittee Chairman Jim McChery, R-La.
House Republicans say a string of GOP legislative successes on trade, highways and bankruptcy bode well for a victory on Social Security.
Any package of retirement changes must first be assembled by the House Ways and Means Committee, but House Democrats have stood fast against any bill that diverts Social Security funds into private investment accounts.

The image shows a dense forest with tall, dark trees. The ground is covered in snow or fog, and there are patches of light that appear to be emitting from the trees, suggesting fire or smoke. The overall atmosphere is cold and mysterious.
The Associated Press
Trees involved in a nighttime controlled backburn fire set by firefighters to safely burn forest fuel in the path of the Blackerby Fire give off a shower of sparks early Sunday, near Grangeville, Idaho. Firefighters took advantage of cooler temperatures and higher humidity to fight the fire overnight and conduct controlled back burns in efforts to safely remove forest fuel in the path of the fire.
TOPEKA — Addressing the question of whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to adopt children in Kansas has been added to a legislative study committee's list of things to do.
Last minute hearing set
▼ ADOPTION RIGHTS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rep. Willa DeCastro, R-Wichita, said Friday she scheduled a hearing Sept. 14 of the Joint Committee on Children's Issues with adoption the only item set for discussion. Earlier this week, DeCastro said she wasn't planning for her committee to discuss the issue "anytime soon."
The panel will hear from staff about current adoption laws in Kansas, as well as from the Kansas Children's Service League, which is contracted by Social and Rehabilitation Services to handle adoptions of children in foster care.
DeCastro said her decision wasn't based on any pressure
"I said from the onset, from the beginning, that I would accommodate them," DeCastro said, referring to the leadership.
from House leadership or other legislators.
Rep. Steve Huebert, R-Valley Center, asked legislative leaders last month to put adoption criteria on a list of topics to be studied before the Legislature begins Jan. 9. He believes adoption should be limited to homes with a mother and father.
His proposal has received criticism from gay and lesbian advocacy groups, and many lawmakers said they weren't eager to take on such an emotional issue.
State law is silent on whether gays or lesbians can adopt children. Unmarried couples can't adopt foster children jointly.
An unmarried individual can adopt a child and live with another person, but only the person who adopted would have
Last year, 627 foster children were adopted in Kansas, and about half that number were placed in homes through private adoptions. SRS says the number of foster children averages about 4,500 per month, but it doesn't keep track of whether foster parents are gay or lesbian.
legal custody.
DeCastro said Hueberts issue wouldn't be the focus of the hearings, but she expected the topic would be discussed.
"My sense is that it's not maybe a major problem," DeCastro said.
She added that if interest was great enough in Huebert's proposal, there could be specific hearings next session.
"My goal is that every child in the foster program deserves a safe and secure home. If we can identify a home for them, then that is good and workable solution for everyone," DeCastro said.

Minority population increasing quickly
TOPEKA — The Hispanic population of Kansas, which doubled from 1990 to 2000, is growing tenfold in percentage compared to the overall population, with many of those jumps in rural counties with dwindling population.
Census Bureau estimates show the state grew from 2,688,418 in 2000 to an estimated 2,735,502 last year, an increase of 1.75 percent. The Hispanic population went from 188,252 to 220,288,a 17 percent hike.
In rural Kansas, Hispanic
Hispanics have their greatest presence in metro areas. The largest number of Hispanics was 43,908 in Sedgwick County. But that's only 9.4 percent of the population.
growth was most noticeable because many counties have fewer people than four years ago. For instance, Hispanic growth jumped 30 percent in Ness County while the overall population dropped 11 percent. In Republic County, Hispanics increased by 14.5 percent and total population dropped 10.5 percent.
The percentage can be somewhat misleading. For instance, Logan County led with a 44 percent hike in Hispanic growth. But that translates to 72 Hispanics in a county where the population dropped 7 percent to 2,827.
"In more rural areas, you see dramatic increases, but that doesn't mean we're talking about all that many people," Melinda Lewis, of the Hispanic rights group El Centro in Kansas City, Kan., said.
There are counties where both numbers and percentages are high. Seward County is on the verge of having a Hispanic majority, at 49 percent of its residents. The Hispanic population grew 20.5 percent, almost seven times the total.
Like many areas of western Kansas with Hispanic growth, Seward County has a thriving beef industry that includes feed lots and packing houses that lure many coming from Latin America looking for work and a place to live.
"They go where the jobs are and there has been a long pattern of minorities going out there and finding work," said Steven Maynard-Moody, director of the University of Kansas Policy Research Institute.
"The question is how sustainable are those jobs going to be over time. The question is what's going to happen to these folks," he said.

Teens auction time over eBay
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — First, they auctioned off a week of their time online for a fraction of what they had hoped to make.
Then, college-bound students Chip Davis and Chris Pullen learned the identity of their eBay "buyer": Davis' mother, Mary.
"Like I'm going to let some pedophile or whatever win? I don't think so," she said Friday. "I would have paid $5,000 for the safety of those two, no question."
"After finding out the winner was from St. Joseph, I was disappointed," Chip Davis said. "But now I'm even more disappointed to find out it was my mom."
The auction concluded Monday, Davis, 18, and Pullen, 19, found out Mary Davis' secret on Thursday, dashing any hopes that they would at least get to travel because of the auction.
Mary Davis used a screen name the two would not recognize, and checked the family's computer in secret to make sure she had the winning bid.
She said she planned to gether money's worth out of the two, who will start classes later this month at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
"It's a legal contract," she said, "so the longer they put it off, the longer the list of work will get."
The list, compiled with Pullen's mother, Janet, already includes lawnmowing and room-cleaning duties.
"With Chip's mom, you never know what she'll make us do," Pullen said. "But I don't have any doubts we'll get it done. We don't go back on our word."

The auction generated plenty of fan mail, and some job offers that Pullen said have raised the possibility of a second auction.

Debate over dollars
TOPEKA — With one major battle in a six-year-old school finance lawsuit behind them, the school districts that sued the state want other districts to help them hold legislators accountable to the Kansas Supreme Court's July 8 ruling.
Schools for Fair Funding, a coalition of 14 Kansas school districts, are inviting others that fared well under the state's $290 million funding increase that resulted from the court's order to join the litigation. Fred Kaufman, leader of the group and superintendent in Hays, said the group has had informal discussions with districts, including Lawrence, about joining.
"We want broader participation, and we would appreciate the financial support," Kaufman said. "We think it's critical. It won't go away this legislative session."
The coalition, led by the Dodge City and Salina school districts, filed a lawsuit in 1999 against the state, claiming the formula for distributing aid to 300 public school districts was
unfair. In particular, the lawsuit took issue with how the money was doled out for districts with high percentages of poor and minority students.
The Kansas Supreme Court upheld a Shawnee County District Court ruling in favor of the districts, ordering legislators to increase funding during the 2005 session. Legislators responded by increasing spending by $142 million, targeting funds at special education, bilingual programs and students at risk of failing academically.
Justices said that wasn't enough and told legislators to increase spending by an additional $143 million to more than $3 billion and to conduct a cost study to determine how much _ if any _ additional funding is necessary during the 2006 session. Lawmakers wound up passing a $148.4 million funding boost.
"Nothing has been done to help education for the last 10 years, probably longer, until this lawsuit came along. The Schools for Fair Funding districts should be congratulated," said Alan Rupe, a Wichita attorney repre
sending the plaintiffs. "It's probably time for some of the other districts to step up to the plate."
That may be difficult for some districts. A new law prohibits districts from spending state aid on lawsuits and lobbying. Any expenditures for those activities must come from local tax dollars or private sources.
The basis for much of the justices' ruling was a 2001 study conducted by consultants Augenblick & Myers that said the state was underfunding education by roughly $850 million annually. Legislators largely rejected that study.
Kaufman said it's critical to monitor progress on the new study and how legislators respond.
"The study, if that study is done legitimately, it may make Augenblick & Myers look small," Kaufman said.
But he's concerned that lawmakers will have the study conducted in a way that will make it look like schools don't need more funds.
"If it gets out of hand,it can be used as a tool to limit school funding." he said.
Sprint completes Nextel purchase
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Sprint Corp.'s long awaited takeover of Nextel Communications Corp. was completed Friday, with executives from the wireless leaders now preparing for the unified company's introduction to some 40 million customers.
It was the last formal step to the creation of Sprint Nextel Corp., the sum of a $35 billion deal pairing two companies with disparate strengths and customer bases that their backers say make them a perfect fit as the country's third largest wireless provider.
"Communication is changing and we are not only ready for it, we will lead it," said Timothy M. Donahue, the former Nextel president and CEO who is chairman of the new company.
It will be a number of weeks before consumers notice new signs going up at retail outlets, marketing aimed at exposing the new brand, additional service plans and handsets and other outward signs that the deal is sealed.
All of this is being carefully rolled out in time for the crucial holiday shopping season. Some will see signs of change sooner.
Investors traded shares of FON, which closed down 24 cents Friday at $26.38 and NXTL, down 64 cents to $33.85.
for the last time, with the ticker symbol S to begin on Monday.
Employees will receive instructions on how to get identification badges, stationary and business cards with the new company logo.
And Donahue steps back as Sprint's Gary D. Forsee emerges as president and CEO.
"Getting bigger is a large reason for doing this deal," said Avi Greengart, an analyst with Sterling, Va.-based Current Analysis. "But in terms of these two companies matching, they matched their customer demographics very well."
It's clear why the two companies worked so hard to pair up.
Overland Park-based Sprint,
whose campus now becomes
the operational headquarters, is known for its focus on consumers and its emphasis on technology, from downloadable cell phone games to live television on your handset.
Reston, Va.-based Nextel, whose suburban Washington base is the new corporate headquarters, is popular with businesses of all sizes and is the leader in push-to-talk technology that makes cell phones like walkie talkies.
As a joint company, the advances of both Sprint and Nextel will likely lead to new consumer offerings.
One area Sprint Nextel wants to emerge as a leader is wireless broadband.
Using what's known as 2.5-gigaertz spectrum to send
a signal, wireless broadband would be a wider use of the technology that has brought wireless "hot spots" to airport terminals and coffee shops.
It would make it possible to take a train trip coast-to-coast without disconnecting from the Internet.
"Iimagine it being like Wi-Fi on steroids," said Scott Stoffel, a Sprint spokesman. Stoffel says the unified company owns 2.5-gigahertz coverage for about 80 percent of the U.S.
Berge Avazian, chief research officer for the Yankee Group, said such offerings will be important from Sprint Nextel as well as the top two wireless companies, Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless.

WORLD Bush harsh with Iran on nukes
JERUSALEM - In a stern warning to Iran, President Bush said "all options are on the table" if the Iranians refuse to comply with international demands to halt their nuclear program, noting he has already used force to protect U.S. security.
Bush's statement during an interview on Israeli TV late Friday was unusually harsh. He previously said diplomacy should be used to persuade Iran to suspend its nuclear program and if that failed then the U.N. Security Council should impose sanctions.
The U.S. government and others fear Iran's nuclear work was secretly designed to produce nuclear weapons. Iran's leaders deny that, saying it was only for the generation of electricity.
The Associated Press
In the interview, Bush said the United States and Israel "are united in our objective to make sure that Iran does not have a weapon"
Iran's government resumed uranium conversion at its nuclear facility in Isfahan this past week.The U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency, responded by issuing a warning to Iran on Thursday that expressed "serious concern" about Iran's intentions.
But, he said, if diplomacy fails "all options are on the table."
Bush welcomed the warning, which signaled that the West wanted to give diplomacy time to ease the standoff.
In Vienna, Austria, where the IAEA is based, diplomats said Iran faced a Sept. 3 deadline to stop uranium conversion or face possible referral to the Security Council, which has the power to impose crippling sanctions. The diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the IAEA board's proceedings.
Iran responded with indignation to the IAEA warning. The Associated Press

WORLD Marines, Afghans take crucial valley
KANDAGAL, Afghanistan U.S. Marines and Afghan troops launched an offensive Saturday to take a remote mountain valley from insurgents tied to the deadliest blow on American forces since the Taliban regime was ousted nearly four years ago.
The operation was the biggest yet aimed at rebels believed responsible for twin attacks that killed 19 U.S. troops in June. Three Navy SEALs were killed in an ambush, and all 16 soldiers on a helicopter sent to rescue them died when it was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.
The offensive came at the end of a deadly week for U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Seven Americans have died along with dozens of militants and civilians, reinforcing concerns that crucial legislative elections next month could be threatened by a surge in violence.
"We want them running for their lives way up in the hills where they can't attack polling stations," said Capt. John Moshane of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, based in Hawaii. "We want to isolate them from the community."
U. S. and Afghan commanders said militants in the Korengal Valley, in eastern Kunar province near the Pakistani border, were intent on disrupting voting. They said the valley held hundreds of Afghan rebels, as well as extremists from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Chechnya.
Hundreds of Marines and Afghan special forces troopers started moving into position at one end of the valley Thursday, about 120 miles east of the capital, Kabul. They dug mortar and machine-gun pits for a resupply base in a corn field near Kandagal, a village of about 100 farm families.
Reacting quickly, rebels fired rockets at a nearby U.S. post and a troop convoy but did not hit anything.
American and Afghan forces
hiked into the rugged mountains Friday and Saturday, many leading lines of donkeys laden with food and water. A-10 attack planes circled high above.
The operation was expected to last at least two weeks, Moshane said.
One of the main objectives was breaking up a network of militants led by a local Taliban officer, Ahmad Shah, also known as ISmail, who claimed responsibility for the June 28 attacks, said Kirimat Tanhah, a commander in the U.S.-trained and financed Afghan Special Forces.
Shah was suspected of having ties to al-Qaida militants in Pakistan, he said.
"Ismail's men ambushed the SEAL team and shot down the helicopter," Tanhah told The Associated Press. "Many of them are foreigners and have trained in Pakistan and elsewhere."
He said Shah also paid impoverished villagers to fight for him.
Lt. Col, Jim Donnellan, commander of the Marine battalion, said the valley was a base for lots of other "bad guys" besides Shah, including al-Qaida militants, fighters loyal to renegade former premier Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and other Taliban groups.
Dozens of criminals involved in timber and gem smuggling are there, too, he said.
"Some of them are thugs, others are political ideologues, coming in and throwing their money"around," Donnellan said. "Many villagers are paid good money to work with the militants."
Meanwhile, a local shepherd who rescued the only member of the ambushed SEAL team to survive June 28, was reported in hiding after militants threatened to kill him.
Donnellan, the Marine commander, confirmed the fourth SEAL was sheltered by a villager, but he declined to elaborate. He didn't comment on the accounts of tribesmen who said shepherd Sher Alam was hiding from extremists.

NEWYORK — Lil' Kim has won a court order preventing a man who testified against the rapper at her criminal trial from releasing a DVD using her name and image.
Lil' Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for lying to a federal grand jury about her involvement in a 2001 gun battle outside a Manhattan radio station.
U. S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said Lil' Kim was entitled to the victory after James "Lil' Cease" Lloyd failed to show up to answer the civil lawsuit.
Lil' Kim wasn't required to be in court for Wednesday's hearing.
Lloyd, who was representing himself, couldn't be reached by phone for comment.
Lloyd and Antoine "Banger" Spain, Brooklyn rappers who once teamed with Lil' Kim in the Junior M.A.F.I.A. group, testified at her trial that they saw her at the radio station with her manager and a friend she denied seeing.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.
— A freelance reporter working for People magazine was given a citation for allegedly trespassing on oceanfront property owned by Brad Pitt, the Sheriff's Department reported.

New era for news
The triumvirate held steady as the world of news changed around them, driven by the spread of cable and the Internet. Today, people can get news
NEW YORK — The death of Peter Jennings means an era in television news has ended with stunning swiftness, giving broadcasters the challenge of reimagining the nightly news in an age of instant Internet updates.
For more than 20 years, many American television viewers learned the day's news at the dinner hour from either Jennings, NBC's Tom Brokaw and CBS's Dan Rather — covering the Reagan era, communism's fall, O.J. Simpson and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

headlines .simply by flipping open their cell phones.
Brokaw, 65, retired from the "Nightly News" in November, and Rather, 73, signed off in March. With Jennings gone, the days of name-brand anchors serving as the public face of their news networks may be disappearing as well.
Jennings, 67, died Sunday at his Manhattan home. He hadn't been seen by viewers of ABC's "World News Tonight" since announcing in April he had lung cancer.
"It's a cruel twist of fate in that Jennings was suddenly going to have the network (evening) news to himself after 20 years of long service," said William Lord, a Boston University journalism professor and one of Jennings' producers in the 1980s. "This was going to be Peter's time to reclaim that No. 1 ranking."
Jennings, a former smoker, spoke bravely of keeping up with work when he revealed his cancer diagnosis on April 5. But he wasn't seen at ABC's Manhattan offices after late May.
Charles Gibson and Elizabeth Vargas filled in for him at "World News Tonight," a role
both will continue indefinitely ABC wasn't talking about the broadcast's future on Monday.
"There will be a time to discuss that," ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said. "This is not that time. When we emerge from this difficult time and are prepared to say something, we will."
Gibson, 62, is a solid contender, familiar to ABC viewers as the longtime anchor of "Good Morning America." He anchored ABC's live coverage of Pope Benedict XVI's selection and the space shuttle Discovery's takeoff last month.
It's almost certain the next "World News Tonight" anchor will come from within ABC News.
However, moving Gibson into that role would take him off "Good Morning America," which has been surging in the ratings and giving NBC's "Today" its first serious fight in a decade.

NEW YORK - Lucille Ball is America's most beloved dead star.
The company that developed the "Q score" that broadcasters and advertisers quietly consult to measure a personality's popularity has done a survey that tests the reputation of performers who have gone on to that big soundstage in the sky.

On Wednesday, the students waited in a long line for vaccinations, filling the lobby of Watkins Health Center with noise.
"They're smiling after three hours in line," said Henrik Christensen, the coordinator of the orientation week.
Shravan Suresh Arora, a
freshman from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, laughed with new friends from India and South America.
"I learned how to say 'good morning' in six different languages," he said.
Standing several people in front of him, Noriko Shibata, the Tokyo student who brought candy, wore a Band-Aid on her left arm.
She'd already received her vaccinations but didn't want to leave the side of two French friends.
One of them, a graduate student from Paris named Hanane Zraiaa, tried to explain what the week meant.
"There are a lot of things," she said. "I met a lot of new friends from other countries. It's very ..."
"... exciting." Shibata interjected.
And as she chatted and nodded her head fastidiously with Zraiaa, Shibata smiled, happy in a new land.

Last week at the University of Kansas' New International Student Orientation, Srinivasan won a contest for logging the most travel hours to the United States: more than 60. He won a coffee mug.
Prashanth Rengaswamy Chandran, another graduate student from Chennai, had left three days before Srinivasan and avoided the delays. Chandran laughed when he saw how Srinivasan's trip ended.
"I saw his books all dried up outside his house," Chandran said, grinning.
K-12 EDUCATION
States fight reforms
—Edited by Becca Evanhoe
"It was fate," he said.
TOPEKA — President Bush and Congress pushed education reforms in 2001 with passage of the No Child Left Behind Act. Three years after the law was signed, states are beginning to push back.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas could be next.
Viewed as an unfunded, unrealistic goal, state officials say the act is a lawsuit waiting to happen. As more schools fall short of achievement goals, more parents and administrators will challenge states, not the federal government, to increase spending to boost test scores.
Kansas is in the throes of a lawsuit filed before No Child Left Behind was passed. That lawsuit has cost the state $290 million and the total could go higher. No one knows what complying with NCLB will cost.
"There's probably not enough money in the state of Kansas to attain 100 percent proficiency," said Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood.
Vratil was part of a national legislative task force that looked at the effects of No Child Left Behind. The group concluded that, while laudable, the goal was unrealistic for student achievement. In addition, the task force argued that the law stymies states like Kansas that have been on the forefront of academic reforms.
Kansas launched its reforms in 1992 with passage of a new school finance formula. The system revamped the way schools were accredited, judging schools on the continuous improvement of their students. Steve Abrams, chairman of the State Board of Education, said changes pushed Kansas ahead of other states.
Abrams said Kansas students
consistently score well compared to peers on national exams.
"I would guess 98 percent of it is because of what we have been doing for the past 10 years," Abrams said.
But the federal law doesn't recognize those accomplishments and grants states that are making progress little flexibility.
Vratil and Attorney General Phill Kline urged the board to consider changing its treatment of the federal goals as they relate to state accreditation standards. They asked the board to make 100 percent proficiency a goal, easing pressure to meet the 2014 deadline and giving state policymakers more flexibility over spending decisions.
The national task force also recommends tweaking the law, including recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is flawed.

Students use orientation to adapt to KU, Lawrence

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students fresh off 24-plus hours of travel hung their heads like immigrants at Ellis Island, waiting wearily in line for their name tags and room keys. They got on the elevator a few at a time, unlocked the doors to their temporary rooms in Naismith Hall
and passed out in unmade beds.
It was Aug. 7, and for many new international students, it was their first day in the United States. Most came alone. Some met up with long lost friends from home. Others smiled, hiding their jet lag.

They didn't know much about their new school and didn't fully understand the culture that suddenly enveloped them. Not yet, anyway. But over the next week, the 200-plus students who attended International Student Orientation Week would begin to feel comfortable.

After hanging her orientation name tag around her neck, Noriko Shibata, Tokyo senior, took the elevator to the sixth floor. Clothes and a computer filled most of her big metal suitcase, but she left some space for small things: pictures and candy from Tokyo. Pictures so she could remember her home, and candy so she could give a taste of it to her new roommates.
Looking around the bare room where she would spend the next week before moving to Jayhawkter Towers, the exchange student giggled anxiously and wondered what she'd do for the rest of the afternoon.
On the blacktop behind the residence hall, orientation leaders gathered to shuttle students around to pick up supplies.

Among the countries represented were France, Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, India, and Romania.
The Englishman, a blond-haired sophomore from Stratford-upon-Avon named Christopher Sandall, chose Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., because he'd heard of it, and they climbed into the van. In the mega-store, the Indian, a freshman from Raipur named Atul Koshley, mentioned buying beer. He's 20 years old. Tough luck.

Living in a residence hall at the University does not mean that you have to live with cold, stone walls, gross tile floors and a cluttered room with little decoration besides the movie posters you've collected. For less than $50 you can create a livable space that doesn't remind you of a prison cell.
To prove that it is possible, I decorated room 218 in Oliver Hall. I spent a grand total of $49.12 for carpeting, lighting and fun extras.
To make the room work, I asked for help from John Bruce, a designer on TLC's "While You Were Out." He said the key to organizing your small space is keeping the clutter out.
"A common mistake is collecting and assembling items that you love individually, yet have no business being together—they clash," he said. "High contrast makes a space feel busy, and a small space for sleeping and studying should not feel aggressive."
To start, I decided to find a fun solution to the cold. brown floors
This carpet mosaic can make for an interesting centerpiece in any room. The mosaic can be easily customized by experimenting with different colors and arrangements that help tie the elements of the room together. Plus, they also help when those tile floors get cold.
that are a trademark of the halls. I got carpet remnants to make a carpet mosaic for the center of the room that
Bruce said choosing the colors for the room was important.
"A small room, especially one where studying takes place, benefits from a palette of low contrast," he said. "Colors can be light or dark, pastel or earthy, and so on — but stick to one plan."
Because I was stuck with a brown tile floor that I couldn't cover completely, I chose an earthy palette of browns and tans to match, with blues for an accent.
After calling many carpet stores sell carpet remnants and samples for $1 a piece.
I was able to get four 18-by-25-inch pieces and four 11-by-18-inch pieces for a total of $8 from Kring's Interiors, 634 Massachusetts St., and Paradise Floors, Inc., 2108 W. 27th St. From the separate pieces I created a carpet mosaic.

reasons to drop a class
Even the most dedicated and focused of students will eventually find a reason to drop a class. Kansan staff writer Adam Land says that for one reason or another students are either forced or choose to cut their losses and drop, and here are the top five reasons to drop:
1. Too Early in the Morning
This excuse/reason generally coincides with a class that starts before 9 a.m. You may make it to the first one, but after that it gets harder and harder to make it on time. You can get away with skipping large lecture classes, but smaller ones — where the teacher actually knows your name and face — usually have a strict attendance policy. Some professors will drop your grade by a letter after your third absence.
Taking notes and studying are enough to induce stress, but when an unlikable professor is the instructor, the class may need to be dropped. Students learn in different ways, and some teaching styles are just not compatible for everyone.
2. Dislike for the Professor

RIVALS
Fierce feuds fuel faithful
BY ADAM LAND

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Sports is nothing without rivals. Teams that are hungry to beat your team every year. The University of Kansas definitely has rivals, two specific rivals to be exact.
It began with Kansas becoming a free state and Missouri becoming a slave state. Tensions were hot between the two and boarder skirmishes happened often.
The first, and most hated rivalry is between Kansas and the University of Missouri. Lawrence and Columbia have long feuded and the hatred goes back to a clash between the states.
Tiger
On August 21, 1863, William Quantrill, a former school teacher in Lawrence, came in with a band of raiders to sack the town. After a long, four-hour fight, Quantrill and his men had killed 180 people and burned almost the entire city of Lawrence to the ground.
The people of Lawrence soon rebuilt the city and a year later erected the University of Kansas,
Since the dispute both universities have despised each other. Basketball is the most hotly contested sport between the two, partly because it is the best sport for each school.
The other rivalry lies with Kansas State University, just down I-70 in Manhattan.
This rival is purely due to geography. K-State is the only other truly large university in the state.
However, unlike Missouri, K-State and the Kansas do not share the same talent in the same sports. Kansas is a basketball school and K-State is a football school. Each takes a turn pounding the other at different parts of the year.
ne sports. Kan-
The Jahways just beat the Wildcats in football after an 11-year drought and K-State still clings to the hope of beating Kansas in basketball, which it has not done in over 10 years.
The rivalry comes from each school knocking off the other in their better sport.
Rivalries, especially Kansas rivalries, are great for sports and pride in the university. They bring fans, students and faculty together in a heated frenzy to beat the opposing team. Whether at home or abroad, the competition between Kansas and its rivals is, and always will be, intense and contested.

Recreation center satisfies all types

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Everyone always talks about gaining the "freshmen 15," but those 15 pounds can creep up on you no matter what year you are in school.
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
One way to keep those pounds off is to stay active. The University's almost 2-year-old Student Recreation Fitness Center offers a wide variety of opportunities for students to stay active and get involved. The cost for membership is included in campus fees, so if you are a student, all you need is your KUID.
Shelley Hellman, Denver junior, works up a sweat on one of the step machines.
Before you head to the recreation center, there is one thing you must remember. Always bring your KUID. It doesn't matter who you are or how much you beg, they will not let you through the turnstile unless you show them proper identification.
The recreation center is a 15,000 sq. ft. area of cardiovascular and resistance training, a 42-foot rock climbing wall, a suspended walking/jogging track, an aerobics studio, a Martial Arts studio, two racquetball courts, open courts for basketball, table tennis, badminton and volleyball courts, locker rooms, towel services and equipment available for checkout.
There are many different fitness programs at the recreation center to help students fulfill their individual fitness goals. KU Fit offers different classes throughout the semester. For a schedule of times and a description of the classes offered, you can either visit the recreation center Web site, www.ku.edu/~recserv/, or stop by the facility to get a schedule. Each class has an enrollment limit, so get there a little early. Personal trainers are available through the recreation center and you can sign-up on the Web site. Fit4U is another program available that provides students with fitness assessments and the proper course of action to get in better shape.
recreation center. These clubs require that you pay dues and they have specific dates and times that the club team meets. For information regarding the cost of dues and the dates and times go to the Web site or visit the recreation center.
Valerie Brandt, Wathena senior, said playing intramural sports was a great experience.
"I played volleyball and basketball in high school so when I came to college I wanted to keep playing and keep in shape," Brandt said. "A bunch of people from my dorm got a team together. It was fun and a great way to meet people."

AUDITORY SYSTEMS
Audiometric systems are used to measure the level of sound in a room. They consist of three main components:
1. **Microphones**: These capture the sound waves and convert them into an electronic signal.
2. **Amplifiers**: These amplify the audio signal to be audible to humans.
3. **Analysers**: These process the amplified signal and create an output that can be displayed or stored.
The most common audiometric system is the "Buffet" system, which uses a large number of microphones placed around a room to capture ambient sounds. This system is widely used in conference rooms, conference halls, and classrooms.
In this image, we see a large hall with rows of chairs arranged in a semi-circular formation. The floor appears to be made of wood, and there are windows with white frames on one wall. The lighting is bright, and the overall atmosphere looks quiet and professional.

MULTICULTURAL

Groups cater to diversity of University
BY ESTUARDO GARCIA
egarcia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The University has devoted itself to increasing the diversity of its student population. To do this, it has sponsored many multicultural clubs and organizations to match its students. Construction on a multi-million dollar project to build a new Multicultural Resource Center next to the Kansas Union has a scheduled ground-breaking for August.
The current MRC is referred to as "the Shack." It is a small building that used to be the Military Science Annex, behind the current Military Science Building.
Every year large umbrella organizations put on several fundraisers and educational programs that are designed to educate other students about minority issues.
Each year the Black Student Union prepares for Black History Month as well as for their annual Black Love Week, which celebrates unity and culture. The week ends with the crowning of Mr. and Mrs. Black Love, which coincides with the Homecoming king and queen in the fall.
The Asian-American Student Union spends some of its time serving the community by working at the Jubilee Café or with the Lawrence Humane Society. The group also prepares for its annual Asian Festival, which includes educational programs, dancing and a big dinner called the "Taste of Asia."
Native-American students have an organization that shares their rich and colorful culture and history with KU students. The First Nations Student Association, which was founded in 1991, holds a powwow celebration that draws visitors and performers from all over the country. Last year there was a record crowd of more than 1,500 people inside Robison Gymnasium.
The growing number of Hispanic people coming to Kansas prompted a need for Hispanic students to form a University group. The Hispanic-American Leadership Organization was formed to support the campus Hispanic population while also educating students about their culture. Every fall, HALO sponsors events for the Hispanic Heritage Month along with various fundraising and educational programs throughout the year.
More than 100 different countries are represented at the University, and there is one organization that tries to represent them all. The International
Students Association is the main organization for the international organizations on campus. Every year ISA helps students from different countries interact and learn about each other. Last spring, the group hosted World Expo and Festival of Nations.
One organization has become a louder voice in the field of equal rights after legislation was passed to ban homosexual marriage in the state of Kansas earlier this year. Queers & Allies has been the University's leading voice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered students and their straight allies for more then 30 years. They offer support
to students who have sexuality questions, and speak out for equal rights and acceptance. Every year Pride Week offers the opportunity to talk to students about "queer" issues and gives the organization a time to march in downtown Lawrence with other LGBT organizations.
There is a new organization that is breaking ground for students with disabilities. Able Hawks was created last year to represent those on campus who might sometimes be overlooked. The organization is still getting off the ground, and it's looking for more members, whether they have disabilities or not.

Parking 101: Cracking the color code
By Liz NARTOWICZ
lnartowicz@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Two hundred and twenty dollars.
That is how much Crystal Wright, Wamego sophomore, has paid in parking fines since arriving at the University.
"I've gotten about 30," Wright said. "They're for everything but mainly parking in the wrong lot."
Wright, like others before her, did not fully understand the parking system at the University.
"I knew there was a color system, but didn't know about the times," Wright said. "I thought all lots opened after five."
But to Wright's surprise, some lots — like the gold one behind Budig Hall where she parks before going to her 5 p.m. shift at The Underground — don't open until 7 p.m. The Underground is a university food court on the south side of Wescool Hall
Confusion over parking is common among all students, said Jennifer Bauer, a parking department employee. Because of this, the parking department is lenient the first couple days of classes, Bauer said. But afterward, the students are held accountable for knowing the system.
Fortunately, cracking the code for parking doesn't take much brainpower. The system is color-coded and lots are clearly
labeled for the most part. The colors correspond to the admission level with gold topping the ladder, then blue, red, and yellow.
Gold has full access to all lots while blue can access all blue or lower colored lots. The same goes for red and yellow. Exclusions for all colors include Alumni Place lots, loading docks and spaces designated for the physically disabled. Out of the colored passes, students can only purchase yellow or University Housing. Students residing in residence halls will have to buy a University housing pass that corresponds to their residence hall if they wish to park in their building's parking lot. Locations for yellow
and resident lots can be viewed at www.parking.ku.edu.
Students should be aware of the other passes because fines are color dependent. Excluding certain gold lots and loading areas, all lots require a corresponding colored pass to park between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The fine for parking incorrectly between these hours is generally $20. The fee for over parking at a meter is $5.
It is important to keep track of and pay all fines. Students can't enroll or obtain records with an unpaid parking ticket. Students ticketed after the third unpaid violation will be subject to towing. Payments can be made in person at the Parking Department Office,
immediately north of Allen Fieldhouse, or dropped in one of the fine boxes on campus. Cash, check or credit cards are all accepted.
Appeals can also be sent to the department or filed online at the department's Web site. Wright said she made two appeals online, which were rejected, and thought appealing was futile.
One way to avoid fines altogether is KU on Wheels, said Jessica Mortinger, the program's transportation coordinator. Besides sidestepping potential fines, KU on Wheels offers the benefit of having to drive less.
"Parking can only get you so close anyway." Mortinger said.
PASSES
- Students can purchase a fall and spring bus pass in the Kansas Room at the Kansas Union from Aug. 15 to 19 for $130. Afterward passes can be bought at the SUA office, also in the Kansas Union.
♦ Students can purchase yellow permits or University housing permits for $140 per year at the parking department.

RELIGION
Advisors: Key to finding new church is similarity
BY ANDY HYLAND
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ariful Huq noticed several changes besides geography and climate when coming to a new country for school.
For the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, senior, and many students at the University of Kansas, coming to Lawrence involves finding a new place of worship.
"For me, it's not that bad," said Huq, who also served as the president of the Muslim Student Association. "We have a mosque here in Lawrence. There isn't a lot of difference for me between praying in Malaysia or praying in Lawrence."
He said there are a good number of Muslims here, and that he is glad the Islamic Center of Lawrence, 1917 Naismith Dr., is to serve that population.
Finding a church is not difficult if the church is similar to what the student is accustomed to, said Steve Kawiecki, president of the Kansas University Religious Advisors and associate pastor at First Baptist Church, 1330 Kasold Dr.
He said he could envision potential problems if a student thinks the new church does not measure up to an old church that the student previously attended.
KURA helps students with this process by pointing them in the direction of a group that matches their interests based on surveys filled out at freshman orientation.
The survey asks students to check a list of religious organizations if they want more information.
Sometimes a student can decide to become more religiously involved than they have been before, said Polli Kenn, program director for KU Hillel.
Polli Kenn
College is a time ofexploration.There's a lot to explore, not just religion."
Program director for KU Hillel
"For people who have been involved their whole life, the transition is easier," she said.
Kenn said a challenge for KU Hillel is to provide religious services for the marginally and extremely interested. KU Hillel does this by providing non-denominational services and by helping students expand religious involvement to a social peer group.
"College is a time of exploration," Kenn said. "There's a lot to explore, not just religion."
In choosing a new place of worship, word of mouth is often the best advertisement, said Monsignor Vince Krische, outgoing pastor of St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road.
Krische said that it is often easy for Catholics to adjust to a new church because worship is the same all over the world. He said his church attracts students by contacting all the churches and high schools in the state of Kansas and letting them know of the church's presence.
"We like to get students involved as soon as possible," he said.
Huq said the transition was successful for him, and he fit in well in the University community. He attended Friday Sabbath services at the Islamic Center of Lawrence.
"I've not felt left out at any time," he said. "I'm treated as any other student."

The organization of the room
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C
In order to keep the separate pieces of carpet from sliding around the room, you can glue the pieces down on a piece of carpet padding.
Lighting in the room was limited to a single overhead light and the sunlight coming through the window. Bruce said investing in cheap and cheery low lighting, such as a fun table or desk lamp, could help brighten up the room. I found a small, blue and silver desk lamp at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., for a little more than $5. I also added two silver trays on the desk and a fun, blue trash can to keep the area organized.
For the bed I choose a simple brown sitting pillow as an accent for the blue cover I already had. Bedding can be pretty expensive so to save some money, ask your parents for old sheets and blankets they don't use anymore. If you don't have any to match your design you can always ask for a small donation for those everyday college necessities.
To fill up the empty stone walls, I set up a simple arrangement with a fun clock and my favorite photos.
"Group posters, photos and other wall hangings in geometric clusters that make sense, rather than random pin-ups," Bruce said.
I taped the matts to the wall and taped the photographs directly onto the wall in the middle of the matts. Leaving the photos open instead of framing them makes it easier to change the pictures when you get bored with them.
is important in maintaining function. Bruce said positioning the desk with one of the short sides against the wall takes up less linear space along the wall and offers a better view than the wall.
When decorating your new home, Bruce said you could incorporate your personality to make the room reflect you.
"The mood of a room sets a personality tone," he said. "For example, if you like to surf...a bedspread of recycled thrift-store, Hawaiian shirts and a photo collage of images of water grouped in an interesting configuration creates a hip, and stylish mood."
With a new carpet, fun lighting and a flexible and functional art project, my room has a fun, cohesive design that masks the ugly tile and cold walls, and shows a little of my own personality. And it all came together for less than $50.

One of the University of Kansas' greatest assets is its thriving Greek community.
Being new to a college campus can be a difficult transition, but it is finding ways to make the college community smaller that helps students find their niche.
Each chapter houses students of all interests, talents and backgrounds. And by joining a chapter, more than 3,500 students find a place of their own at the University.
The many types of fundraisers, honor societies, clubs, seminars, social functions and volunteer opportunities offer something for everyone. Being "Greek" means friendships, leadership, community service and scholarship, as well.
Together, the 40 fraternities and sororites at the University have created and furthered the accomplishments of students on campus.
Philanthropic events like mud volleyball tournaments and themed dress-up parties are just a few of the activities each chapter takes part in.
One of the largest community philanthropic events the Greek community has is the House that Greeks Built. Every other year the community builds a house to benefit the Lawrence chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
With a building cost of $50,000, the members spend one year fundraising and another year building. In October 2003, members completed a third house.
The Rock Chalk Revue, a university-wide philanthropy, raises about $50,000 annually for the Douglas County United Way. Fraternities, sororities and other living organizations team up to create 20-minute musicals, which includes creating a script, costumes and scenery. Five teams are chosen to perform at the Rock Chalk Revue.
Greek life at the University isn't only about community service. It's also about scholarship. There are honor societies, awards and incentives for members to do well in their classes.
Greek members will tell you that their community isn't only about philanthropy, community service, scholarship and functions, either. They'll tell you it's about togetherness.
Members are divided into different chapters, but they are all united in one community. Members celebrate the community during Greek Unity Month, a month of programs that integrate the Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council.
A
Men's recruitment began June 24 and women's began yesterday. Any questions should be directed to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at 864-4861.
Members of the Greek community share a unique bond. They are bound together by ritual, brotherhood and sisterhood and friendship.

A consultant conducted a parking study and said there was a $4 million maintenance deficit to fix repairs on parking lots, Hultine said.
65 percent increase for most student parking passes
"When money's tight, repairs go down the tube," Hultine said. "We
"Everyone will experience an increase," said Donna Hultine, parking director at the University.
The increase in the cost of parking passes will help fund repairs to parking lots on campus and help fund a new parking lot across from Shank Fields on the west campus, Hultine said.
Donna Hultine Parking director
" When money's tight, repairs go down the tube. We can't just keep putting Band-Aids on it."
The parking costs at the University will increase for the Fall 2005 semester. All of the parking passes, including park and ride and housing parking passes, will increase by $55 across the board.
The new parking lot will be home to park and ride, which was previously in the Lied Center parking lot. Hultine said that the provost, David Shulenburger, wanted it to move because the park and ride takes up a majority of parking spaces ever day.
can't just keep putting Band-Aids on it."
The Lied Center is a yellow lot, so it's an oversold lot and is used not only for people with yellow passes, but also for people with park and ride passes.
Hultine said she hoped that the increase in parking passes would make students look at the price of both the parking passes and the bus passes and decide whether they really needed their car on campus or if the bus would be a better option.
The estimated cost of the new parking lot is $7 million. Employees hope to break ground on the new lot in January 2006 and have it open by Fall 2006. Hultine said.
Last semester, the cost of either a yellow parking pass or a housing parking pass, meaning parking lots at residence halls, was $85. Next semester students will pay a minimum of $140 to park on campus.
To avoid paying for a parking pass, Josie Thorp, Lawrence senior, chooses to park on the side streets but warns you could end up paying just as much for zoning tickets and towing if you're not careful.
"I think it's ludicrous to pay that much for parking," Thorp said.

Who's who
Kansan staff writer Erin M. Droste sat down with four of the most influential members at the University of Kansas. Sit back and take this opportunity to chat with them.
Director of Parking DONNA HULTINE
What is the most fulfilling part of your inh?
Pe upa ve
I have a terrific staff.It's nice to be able to interact with these people every day. We have to deal with a lot of problems. People come in and they're usually upset about something,but the staff is very upbeat and tolerant and capable.
What would you consider your greatest accomplishment here?
I feel like I've been here forever ... almost 25 years. I feel like the reputation of the department has softened. I can remember in the past years when we've just been the department you love to
hate. But over time that's changed and encounters are more positive.
Why do you think the department gets such a bad rap with students?
I sort of believe, and there's no science behind this, but if you have a bad experience you're more likely to share that with people than if you have a good experience. People have a bad perception of us because they've heard things from other people. And there's negative reinforcement when we pass out those tickets.
If you're going to bring a car to campus, I would make darn sure you know the rules and
What advice would you give to incoming students?
regulations. Some students just let the first few tickets go, but they're expensive and the $20 really adds up when you keep doing it over and over.
What is your favorite KU tradition?
Basketball. Everything about it. I love the passion in the students and the thunder in the fieldhouse.
Is there anything you would like to add?
I would hate for people to be afraid of this department. We're really just trying to do our job and we are here to help you.
love
Director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs ROBERT PAGE
Can you describe what you do at KU and what it means to you?
I manage the Office of Multicultural Affairs, as well as the Multicultural Resource Center and HAWK Link. It means everything to me. It means everything to me because of the contact, with the students. KU has some of the best students in any big university. I get to see them through their time at KU and I get to see them graduate. It means everything to me.
What is the hardest part of what you do?
Seeing the students leave. It's tough because they mean so much to me. I'm a little more guarded now. It's like a tight-knit group with its arms open wide to everyone.
What can students experience at KU that they can't anywhere else?
You will experience the KU way.That's a certain pride. It's made up of academic success ... pride in the institution ... and an appreciation of diversity.The KU student is very unique in the sense of wanting to be the best. We just love the institution.
How can students get involved and really experience KU?
They have to take the initiative and be assertive in getting involved. When you find that tight-knit group, whatever it may be, and the University doors will open up. Once you get involved, the doors begin to open and the institution gets smaller.
What advice would you give to incoming students to ensure they succeed at KU?
What is your favorite KU tradition?
Make sure you are successful academically first. Find a balance of getting involved and developing a strong academic plan. Make sure you get your degree while you're having fun.

DAVID SHULENBURGER
Can you describe what your job is at KU and what it means to you?
Essentially everything on the Lawrence campus reports to me ... so it means that my time is occupied. But, I like the job. I've been in this job for about 13 years now. And I really feel like I'm able to make a positive difference for the University. So it's a rewarding job. To watch the increase in quality of students that we bring to KU, and watch the improvements in the environment that we work in, and to watch the faculty get more dedicated to teaching over time. It is an extraordinary research University ... I enjoy what I do and feel like I make a difference.
What is the hardest part about your job?
You know, someone once said the beginning of the semester must be an awful time at the University, how in the world do you organize all of these people to get everything done? When you think about it there is a lot to be done. Well you can take me out of the picture, and that would still happen. That is so imprinted in the organization. The organization is very good at doing those routine things. I guess that the toughest thing is to keep focused on the long run and not to get so 'fire under the tails' that you can't focus on the long run.
If you had just one goal for the University, what would you want to accomplish here?
The difference between KU and other universities has to do with our admissions requirements. We are a qualifying admissions school right now. Most schools like us are selective admissions. I think that we could go in that direction. I hope we move that way ... KU is a pretty tough place and you need preparation ... as a national and international university we really need to be selective about students who benefit from coming here, instead of using low-level selection criteria.
What advice would you give to incoming students to ensure they succeed at KU?
Once they come here, they still need to explore a bit because they probably haven't been exposed to enough at the high school level, to find the best path that will really help them make the best out of their lives. Don't be afraid to do a little exploration in those courses in the first couple years. Focus most of your time on getting your degree. William Sloan Coffin, a chaplain at Yale, said there are two ways to be rich. One is to have lots of goods, the other is to have few needs. And my advice to those students is to have few needs while they are here. Forget about the fancy apartment and car and really focus on their studies to get a degree in four years. It's
a place to have fun but it's also the most serious investment you will ever make that will affect the remainder of your life. Make the investment count and explore and define what the rest of your life is.
I think the march down the hill (during the annual University-wide commencement).
What is your favorite tradition at KU?
Is there anything you'd like to add?
You know, we do a senior survey every four years; we've done it about seven or eight times. Our final question is how satisfied are you with your experience at KU? For the last 28 years or so, that question has ended up with about 80 percent of the students saying they are either satisfied or highly satisfied with their experience at KU. [In the class of 2005, about] 91 percent said they were satisfied or very satisfied. This is sort of a magic time at KU. We've had a number of years that have been extraordinarily positive.This is a good place to be a faculty member.

Women's basketball coach BONNIE HENRICKSON
What do you feel you contribute to the University through your coaching?
Even though I'm just a coach ... all of the coaches I feel are all educators. The kids' basketball experience is like a classroom setting. It's an education in itself. And I feel it is important to be a good role model for women in every situation.
What is the best part about coaching at Kansas?
Just being involved.The opportunity to impact people's lives ... to be involved in the love and passion at KU.
What is the hardest part about your job?
Recruiting is a challenge for anybody. Dealing with 16-, 17- and 18-year-olds who are young and impressionable. We have to decide who would work best on the team and we affect their careers. So just dealing with the nuances of recruiting.
How is Kansas different than other places you've coached at?
The love for the sport is phenomenal. I'm thrilled with the support we have from the community, Chancellor Hemenway and Lew Perkins. I've never really been exposed to it anywhere else.
What advice would you give to incoming students to ensure they succeed at KU?
Come see women's basketball Really they should develop good time management skills and just enjoy the experience. I think it surprises a lot of students how much work you have to put into competing in the classroom. The students at KU are smart so you really do have to compete. Also, meet new people and get involved as much as you can. And come see women's basketball.
What is your favorite KU tradition?
The Rock Chalk Chant. I don't know why.

HEALTH
Avoid freshman 15 with diet, exercise
Kerrl Henderson/KANSAN
With the stress of class, cafeteria food, and late night pizza deliveries, it can be a challenge to keep off the pounds freshman year. This common dilemma can be avoided with a well followed exercise routine and making smart decisions when going through the cafeteria lines.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Whether it's fact or fiction, the infamous freshman 15 remains a concern for newcomers to the University.
Although there are no substantial studies that prove the freshman 15, Melissa Smith, manager of the wellness research center, said most students gained an unhealthy 10 pounds after coming to college.
"It has to do with a change in lifestyle," Smith said. "Food is always readily available at college with all-you-can-eat buffets and vending machines."
Stefanie Maerz, Overland Park senior, said part of her freshman 15 came from drinking.
Besides the abundance of food, Smith said alcohol consumption and a decrease in physical activity also contributed to the gain.
"Part of it was a growth spurt, part of it was my body reacting because I never drank in high school." Maerz said.
Maerz said her weight gain benefited her because she weighed only 100 pounds when
You can still go out and eat. At Mrs. E's I went back for seconds and thirds all the time. All you have to do is burn it off."
Aziz Sultani Shawnee senior
she arrived at the University, but that she had seen negative weight gain in her friends.
"I had a friend who gained 40 pounds her freshman year," Maerz said. "She would just go on eating bines."
Smith said one way to avoid over-eating was to develop a healthy eating schedule with the help of programs on campus. Watkins Health Center has a fulltime dietician for health assessments and nutrition counseling. Smith said she recommended incoming students meet with Ann Chapman, the dietician, at the beginning of the year to help set
up healthy guidelines. The first consultation costs $10 and each additional consultation is $7.
Another health-friendly program is the Student Recreation Fitness Center's Fit4U program. Jill Urkoski, associate director of fitness and staff development, said through the program, students could undergo a variety of fitness assessments and develop a custom workout.
Aziz Sultani, Shawnee senior,
said although he went on food
and drink benders he avoided
the flabby 15 by going to the
gym consistently.
"It doesn't matter what you're doing, as long as you're active," Urkoski said. "Weight gain comes from intake verses output."
"You can still go out and eat. At Mrs. E's I went back for seconds and thirds all the time," Sultani said. "All you have to do is burn it off."
Smith said weight gain wasn't just a problem for freshman. She said the National College Health Assessment of 2003 reported that one third of KU students were overweight.
ADVISING
- Edited by Erin M. Droste
Seek advising for smooth college transition
BY NATE KARLIN
nkarlin@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Responsibilities can be more difficult to manage when you're away from home for the first time. Students new to the University of Kansas are responsible for many things they've never been in charge of before, but keeping up with which classes to take shouldn't be one of the many hassles.
That's why the University has advisers ready to help freshmen and sophomores get through their first two years and ready to graduate in four years.
The Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center in 126 Strong Hall assigns an adviser to all incoming freshmen in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Incoming freshmen enrolled in the entrylevel programs in Architecture, Engineering and Fine Arts are assigned a faculty adviser from those schools, said Diann Burrigh, associate director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.
Advisers help students understand which courses are important to their major or degree and make sure the students are staying on track to earn a degree as soon as possible. Burrigh said.
"Students who have a stronger sense of their academic requirements are more likely to make better informed choices regarding their enrollment and choice of maior," she said.
Once a student has decided on a major, an adviser will be able to make sure he or she is completing the right coursework and maintaining the
required GPA to be admitted to a professional school, Burright said.
"At a University the size of KU, there are many resources and programs for students to utilize, and it can be overwhelming to know just where to turn for answers," Burright said. "Advisers are a great point of first contact, and they can help students determine what kinds of resources might be most helpful, given each student's situation."
An adviser can also be helpful to students with programs and activities outside the realm of classes.
The amount of time students spend with their adviser varies. Students who are interested in forming a good relationship with their adviser should meet two to three times per semester, Burrighd said. Advisers can give advice to students
throughout the semester about academic policies, or, if the student is struggling with his or her classes, help deciding what are the right steps to take, she said.
When the student is ready to make the jump to a professional school, the advising center will have all of the student's information ready to make that transition easy. Burright said. The student will then be placed with an adviser in that school.
And although every student is assigned an adviser, don't depend on the University to direct your college path. Seek out professors who teach subjects you're interested in and ask them for advice. Your adviser doesn't have to be "official," and sometimes, these unofficial mentors are the most helpful.

Competition camaraderie without the pressure
BY MICHAEL PHILIPS
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Much like the Athletics Department, KU Recreation Services offers a wide variety of sports, within that plethora of choice, basketball is still king.
Intramural play is free for enrolled students, but teams are charged a fee in certain situations. In the fall, the most popular and largest-member sports are flag football and volleyball. Registration for these sports will take place within the first few weeks of the school year.
The registration dates will be posted to the Recreation Services Web site, located at www.recreation.ku.edu. You can also call 864-0787 for information.
Last year marked the first time online registration was used for intramural sports, although the most popular way is still to register in person at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. The intramural team captain must have the name and KUID of all team members when registering at the recreation center.
Team slots are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you want to register for a basketball team, do it early on the first day or you risk not having a spot.
Most sports are divided into men's, women's, and co-recreation divisions. More popular sports split into "competitive" and "noncompetitive" brackets, as well as offering leagues for residence halls and Greek houses.

Winners of intramural tournaments receive T-shirts proclaiming their championship victory. Perhaps more importantly, players also receive bragging rights — at least until next year.

Avoid the temptation to relax the first few weeks, the biggest mistake students make is not studying right away, said Kristin Scott, assistant director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center.

Transferring from high school life to the academic atmosphere at the University may prove to be a shock for many students.
Conventional wisdom suggests that students' grade point averages will drop after their first year in college because there is less grade inflation in college than in high school, said Lisa Wolf-Wendel, associate professor of higher eduction.
"Typically speaking, at some point in their freshman year, students experience their first academic crisis," she said. "They have either a positive or a negative response that is triggered by not doing as well as they had in high school."
A positive response would be that the student works harder after failing his first test, Wolf-Wendel said, while a negative response would be that the student gets frustrated and their GPA drops.
Wolf-Wendel said this was also true of students transferring from a junior college to a four-year institution. Students experience transfer shock that can result in a drop in grades, though throughout time the student can improve his GPA if he sticks it out, she said.
A low GPA can be improved, but it isn't easy, said Kristin Scott, assistant director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center.
"Successful students plan ahead, prioritize and balance their schedule well," Scott said. "They are focused on their academics and take advantage of resources that are available."
Those resources include teachers and professors as well as the different academic resources the University provides. Students can take advantage of tutors, the KU Writing Center and informal study groups to help keep their grades up.
spent in class. Scott said she recommended studying in shorter two-hour blocks rather than sixhour marathon sessions.
Scott said students could study effectively by planning to study at least two hours for each hour
"Students should plan to study in a place with few distractions," Scott said. "Regarding time, students should study at a time when they are most alert and productive."
Reviewing notes after lectures and starting assignments on the day they are assigned rather than the day they are due can also help keep your grades up, Scott said.
KU students are fortunate to have so many resources available to them, Scott said. The best way to ensure success at the University she said, was to manage your time wisely.
"Unfortunately the first exam can be an eye-opening experience," she said.
Scott said the biggest mistake students made was not studying right away.

Whether for professional or personal reasons, if you are in a class and find yourself thinking about how much you dislike the instructor, it may be time to say goodbye.
3. Too Hard
4. Not Worth Enough Credits
If you walk into class and the professor assigns homework you've never heard of, think about the door. If you don't understand it the first day, you're probably going to have to read the book. And is it really worth all the extra effort?
Sometimes the work does not equal the hours earned. For instance, physical education classes meet two or three times a week, yet only yield one credit hour. Fine arts majors have to take twice as many classes for the same amount of credit hours. Even working for the Kansan 40 hours a week yields only three credits. The bottom line is, how bad do you need it, and can you put up with it?
5. Interferes with personal life
Students, and people in general, have to make time for themselves and their personal pursuits. Some classes force you to choose between it and your friends or significant other. If a class always demands more than you can give, seriously look at getting out while you can.

In need of cash and lab experience, Matt Waldron, Ottawa junior, wanted to find an on-campus job. He found one, and now he makes food for fruit flies, and loves the work he does.
Waldron has one of the more unusual jobs at the University of Kansas, but numerous other on-campus employment opportunities are out there. Whether you want to work in a chemistry lab or at a desk in Watson Library.
All on-campus jobs are listed at jobs.ku.edu, Anne Hartley, associate director of the student career center, said. The Web site requires you to register and fill out a job application to keep on file, and it's free.
Students can search for a job based on different criteria. You can search by department, job category or full- or part-time work.
Students can also apply for the Work Study program. Find out more about the program by talking to the Office of Student Financial Aid.
After finding a job to your liking, submit an online application. Make sure to proofread the application before submitting it. You won't be able to make corrections afterward, Hartley said.
Also make sure you answer each question on the application. Hartley said students are too brief in their answers and it makes it difficult for departments to decide between applicants.
Don't be discouraged if you don't get the first job you apply for. Because jobs.ku.edu is accessible and lists all jobs, competition is stiff, Hartley said. If you are denied a job, keep searching the Web site and applying. New
iobs are posted every dav.
Apply for jobs even if you don't think you have the training. Not all the work in a department can only be completed by people who are studying in that field. The KU Natural History Museum employs numerous students, and many are not studying biological sciences.
"We couldn't get a lot done without our student assistants," Brad Kemp, assistant director of public affairs, said.
Students at the museum work in public education, administrative support or even in the specimen collections, and the museum's staff is willing to train anvone for a job.
While Waldon agrees it's best that he is interested in the department he works in, anyone could do the work.
"It's important to find a job because it will help you get references and lead to more opportunities," he said.
WE LOVE OUR KANSAN.

The days of sprinting down the street after the ice cream truck are gone. But that doesn't mean we still can't indulge ourselves with some of summer's sweetest rewards. In fact, now that our piggy banks are bank accounts and our sneakers are sedans, we can choose from an array of cold treats.
Homemade Ice Cream
For those of you whose grandparents never made you homemade ice cream, now's your opportunity to experience the homespun dessert. Cold Stone Creamery, 647 Massachusetts St., offers rich flavors such as cheesecake and white chocolate that are custom made for you on the spot.
With any ice cream order. Cold Stone
gives you free goodies to mix in. And with options of brand name candy, nuts and fruits, the possibilities are unlimited. But watch out, with its creamy flavors Cold Stone is not for weak of appetite.

great place for a snack with friends.
Custard
For a quick concrete fix, head to Sheridan's Frozen Custard, 2030 W. 23rd St. The fast service and a smorgasbord of goodies makes Sheridan's a great study break destination.
If you've got a little bit more time, try The Cup, 4000 W. Sixth St. A combination custard and coffee house, The Cup is decorated in a modern yet intimate decor, full of fluffy chairs, magazines and art. Although you can customize your own custard, I recommend starting with the Jayhawker, a vanilla custard with blueberries, bananas and strawberries.

Shaved Ice and Slushes
For a taste of Lawrence and heaven, go to Tad's Tropical Snow, 930 Iowa St. Tad's offers more than tasty iceed treats. With its shack décor, it offers a fifties feeling of summertime on the beach.
Unfortunately, Tad's is seasonal and fast-fleeting, so now is the time to grab a flavored ice for less than $2. Stick with an original flavor like Watermelon or try something fiercer like Tiger's Blood. Tad's will close its doors for the summer once the weather gets cold.

NIGHTLIFE
Planning for party perils and payoffs
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Some of the best times for college students are at parties. But throwing them can be an expensive and possibly illegal venture. So here are some rules of the road for throwing a party.
First, try and estimate how many people are coming. The number of people matters almost as much as what type of party you plan to have. You need to know how much liquor to buy and how much room to clear. Most people don't have enough vodka on hand for 200 people.
THE RAGER
With a party this size hide your belongings. People don't care and they will swipe what they can when they are in your house. If it is possible to lock doors and rooms do it. This little tip could save you a lot of money in the long run.
rager, buy lots and lots of beer. It's cheap to buy and it comes in large quantities. Plus with a massive party people are not there to enjoy the beer, they are their to get drunk.
Also, throw the party when your house is dirty, it is the perfect time. Generally you won't know the majority of people showing up to your event and they won't know you, so they have no real need or desire to treat your house nicely. If the house is already dirty you won't have to clean twice.
If your planning on having a 400 to 500 person

Pets require attention, love

For Tammy King, the best part about having a pet is the love.
King, Johnson County Community College junior, has owned her miniature dachshund, Emmy, for about one and a half years and has had to adjust to life as a full-time student with a job and a pet. But what she gets in return was worth it, she said.
Guinea pigs Dr. Watson and Mr. Patches nibble on a piece of cilantro.
"She keeps me company," she said. "It's kind of scary living alone — especially at first. But Emmy makes it easier ... she's a really snuggly dog."
Jeaneen Hercha, operations manager for the Lawrence Humane Society, said students usually adopted pets because it's their first year away from home and they may miss their old pet or just want a pet of their own.
Hercha said students could adopt from the Humane Society, but sorority and fraternity members could not adopt a pet if they were living in the sorority or fraternity house. She said there were too many cases of animals being mistreated in the house. In one incident, a cat was cooked on a barbecue, she said.
Students who are looking to adopt a pet should keep in mind that pets require attention. Students should ask themselves if they are unselfish and responsible enough to have a pet at this time in their lives. Hercha said.
"Having a pet is pretty much like having a kid," she said. "It's a big responsibility."
vet bills, long-term health care, food, litter and even apartment deposits.
Hercha said pets were a long-term commitment. Students may not realize all the costs involved, including annual vaccinations, emergency
Students living in the residence halls, scholarship halls and apartments on campus are limited to what pets they can have. The Student Housing Department policy allows fish in aquariums as pets, nothing else.
Diana Robertson, associate director for Housing Office Administration, said other pets wouldn't be appropriate in community living environments. The policy protected pets, as well as people with allergies, she said. She said noise and cleanliness were also concerns.
Robertson said students occasionally got caught with pets they couldn't keep in student housing but that most understood and followed the policy.
Hercha said students should consider how much free time they would have available when thinking of adopting a pet.
"Students schedules aren't conducive to keeping a pet," she said.
"If you come from classes and plan to run right out the door you probably shouldn't get a pet," she said.
"I have to think about how long I've been gone," she said. "I can't just stay out all night any-more because I have to let her out so she won't make a mess."
King said she had to learn how to manage her time better since she got her dog Emmy.
Hercha said smaller animals such as caged birds or lizards that don't require a lot of care may be the best choice for students.
Students living off campus in apartments or houses have a little more flexibility in choosing what pets they own. Eagle Ridge Apartments,
Hercha said apartments restricted what kinds of pets you have and many pets end up abandoned when people realize they couldn't live in a certain apartment because of their pet.
530 Eldridge St., where King lives, allows residents to own cats and dogs less than 25 pounds, said Britney Jurgensen, leasing consultant.
The Lawrence Humane Society sees an increase in its intake of pets when school lets out and during vacations, Hercha said. She said many people bring them in if they can't take their pet with them, others abandon their pets.
King said keeping pets could be expensive and time consuming.
"It's easy to say 'Oh, they're so cute,' but they take a lot of commitment." King said.
Tammy King. Johnson County Community College junior, gives her dog Emmy some affection. King has had Emmy for about one and a half years.

Slow Ride Roadhouse rolls into Lawrence
CLEVELAND
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
Bartenders at the Slow Ride Roadhouse entertain customers dancing on a table. The bar is located in North Lawrence and features live music Thursday through Saturday.
Slow Ride Roadhouse is the latest addition to Lawrence's bar and grill scene. Located on the outskirts of town, 1350 N. 3rd St., Slow Ride Roadhouse is drawing large numbers from a variety of crowds
Like the notable Hard Rock Café, Slow Ride Roadhouse also decorate its restaurant with authentic and colorful furnishings. Instead of the rock'n'roll décor Slow Ride adorns its walls with motorcycle memorabilia.
While the motor motif restaurant is cycle friendly, it also welcomes non-riders. Regardless of what transportation used to get there, Slow Ride Roadhouse offers entertainment with its three pool tables and dart boards while serving finger looking good food like Buffalo wings. Slow Ride Roadhouse also offers a porch for smokers or those just wanting to dine or drink outdoors.
Possible other additions to the bar and grill scene in Lawrence include Mad Hetter's Bar Grill, 623 Vermont St., renovating its basement; Red Lyon, 944 Massachusetts St., extending its front patio; and Papa Kenos, 1035 Massachusetts St., adding a back patio.

Get around without a car
For those students who can't afford to bring their car to campus, or for those who don't have a car, there are ways to get around campus and Lawrence without constantly nagging your friends to chauffeur you around.
Donna Hultine, director of parking services, said 13.472 students paid $85 each for a student parking pass for the 2004-2005 academic year. This year students will have to pay $140. This is the first time that a parking permit will cost more than a bus pass.
Rebecca Laufferty, Overland Park junior, said not having a car was not as bad as people may think. She said she had gotten around on her bike and her new moped because she didn't find the buses convenient.
Laufferty said her parents offered to buy her a car if she was willing to pay for insurance and other expenses. Instead of dishing
out the money, Laufferty opted to find other transportation. She said not having a car limited her exposure to the Lawrence area.
"My freshman year I didn't really go anywhere," she said. "I didn't even know what was down on Mass. Street ... It really sucks not having a car, but I just really had to ask for help."
Laufferty said she got used to walking or riding where she needed to go. But for students who needed to get somewhere quickly, there are alternatives to wearing out your shoe soles.
The University's KU on Wheels program offers student bus passes. The bus can get you pretty much anywhere you need to go throughout Lawrence and campus.
Jessica Mortinger, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said the buses ran from 7 a.m. to 11:05 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters.
If you are out and about after the buses stop running, the Student Senate Transportation Board's Safe Ride Program can

get you home until 2:30 a.m. Rides start at 10:30 p.m. from anywhere in Lawrence, though drivers will only take you to your own residence, according to the KU on Wheels Web site.
If you've got a few errands to run and don't want to wait on the bus during the day, you can call a cab. Midwest Transportation Services, 2120 W. 25th St., will take you anywhere you need to go in Lawrence for less than $10, said Dave Old, manager for Midwest. Midwest is the only Taxi service in Lawrence.
Laufferty said students really shouldn't worry too much about not having a car to get around.
"You just have to be willing to ask for help and find people who understand," she said.

Students don't always have room in the budget for DVDs, video games and compact discs. So, for the people who still need these items, Lawrence has CD Tradepost, 4000 W. Sixth St Suite C and Hastings Books, Music and Video, 1900 W. 23rd St.
Hastings sells preowned movies, video games, books and music, said Becca Breithaupt, guest service manager.
The store buys all those forms of entertainment from customers and offers either store credit or cash.
Hasting's has over 5,000 compact discs and almost as many movies, games, and books, Breithaupt said.
But Hasting's is not the only place to buy used entertainment.
Except for books, CD Tradepost offers many of the same services as Hasting's.
The Tradepost has thousands of movies on both VHS and DVD. Linda Morton, owner, said the stock at the store on Sixth Street comprised more than 11,000 CDs, 1,500 DVDs, 1,000 VHS tapes and 1,500 games.
Not only are the movies in both cassette and CD formats, they are also on sale. Yes, the movies are preowned, but the store offers 30 days full refund. If the movie works the entire time it is fine, and you just saved money.
The store sells video games for Playstation, Playstation 2, PSP, XBOX, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo 64 and Game Cube.
New and old games are discounted so the college student can get the games they want and a percentage of the original price.
But what would all the pre-owned fun be without CDs? As the name says, the store has thousands of CDs in all genres of music.
The return policy is the same for the CDs as it is for the rest of the items. So listen to the entire CD and if it is scratched take it back, if not, eniov.
The diversity in items is not the only appeal of the store, it also doubles as an electronic pawnshop, or trading post.
Customers can bring in old movies, music and games, as well as gaming systems, to be bought or cashed in for store credit.
Or if you've gone through your CD collection and don't really know how bad you need that Backstreet Boys album you bought in high school, go trade or sell them.
If you need fast money pawning can be a legal way to get it.
Finally, if you like to shop from your room, go online and get discounts specific to the Web site. It has the inventory of not only the Lawrence store, but the other stores in the chain.
Another location is at 2540 S. Iowa St.
WELL Y
POP ROCK
But if you want a more local dealer, try the Love Garden. 936-1/2 Massachusetts St.
The business has been buying and selling music for over 15 years, said Kelly Corcoran, music buyer for the store.
The Garden has about 8,000 CDs and 40,000 records.
When you are ready to buy or sell here are three places where you can browse and walk through.
The store, like the aforementioned two, does buy and sell for cash or store credit.
So get used and enjoy the items.
Party
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D
THE SMALLER GET-TOGETHER
Throwing a party like this is easy, but hard to stop once in motion. Don't try and make people do things, like stay off the carpet, just enjoy the ride.
The rules change when the setting is more intimate. The person who throws the party can offer better liquor, atmosphere and accomodations.
If you're having 20 to 30 people visit for a barbecue, liquor may be a cost effective way to go. Tequila and blender, or vodka and cranberry juice could be a
much better way for the smaller group to enjoy the event. With a smaller group you can even have a theme for the event, such as martini night, margarita night or whatever libation you like best.
up. Don't clean, just make the home presentable. Have clean cups and counter tops. It will get dirty again, but there is nothing worse than having nowhere to sit and nothing to drink out of.
This size of group should be better, at least for you. With a smaller group you are generally familiar with the people there and they are with you. So there is no huge need, generally, to lock rooms and hide valuables. It is not to say they will not take anything, but usually you're safe with your friends.
Because these are your friends, they have put up with you to this point. So do them a favor and just pick the place
These parties are usually a lot less stressful because you know the inhabitants and you do have more control of the masses. So enjoy and relax, the party will go as you lead.
POSSIBLE TROUBLE
Throwing a party of any kind comes with risks, and the police in Lawrence will not hesitate to write a citation or even take you to jail.
The most common call is for noise complaints, said Sgt. Dan
Ward, Lawrence police department. Offenders are given a notice to appear and can be levied fines by the court. All fines are determined by the municipal court, Ward said.
The other risk is minors in possession, which can get the minor and the host in trouble. The police can issue citations and even physically arrest the minor and host for that. he said.
Other things to avoid are littering, public urination and fighting.
Basically, be careful when you throw a party and understand that things can go wrong and prepare for the possibility of trouble.

For coffee fanatics, try a Cappuccino Blast made with real coffee, vanilla ice cream and ice. Make sure to ask for whip cream and cinnamon for the ultimate indulgence. A healthier but still lip-smacking choice is the Juice Stop, 812 Massachusetts St., 3514 Clinton Parkway and 4821 W. Sixth St., with its smoothies full of fresh fruit and wellness blends.

Unique shops allow you to customize
BY SAMARA NAZIR

editor WORKS WRITER
Some might see Lawrence as simply a great college town for nightlife and social atmosphere, but Lawrence, like nearby Kansas City, also has diverse and plentiful shopping opportunities. Here's a quick guide to the high- and low-end shopping in Lawrence and some of the variety of options for student shoppers.
Downtown Lawrence
Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., is a trend, citysleek clothing shop that can still fit into a student budget. With frequent "dollar-item sales" and the seasonal price slashing of more expensive items, Urban caters to the thrifty college shopper with a range of low to medium prices. It's eclectic styles, bright colors, and bohemian-inspired outfits present a little something for every clothing taste. Urban has vintage and ethnic clothing, home decorating supplies, handbags, earrings, necklaces, shoes, books, games, dishes and furniture.
Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St., features a similar concept as Urban in its wacky and original gifts. Hobbs also sells clothing, but its designer styles carry higher price tags, although the threads do allow you to customize your style.
Downtown Lawrence also has unique places to find ultra-trendy clothing for females. Kieu's, 738 Massachusetts St., and Britches Clothing Co., 843 Massachusetts St., provide the latest fashion with cheap finds and high-dollar items. Clothes in Britches can run anywhere from $15 to $200. The shop carries brand names such as
Guess Jeans. Spectators, 710 Massachusetts St., also carries high-end, quality women's apparel. This local shop is perfect for a woman who doesn't want to worry about being seen in the same dress as another guest at a party. Spectators carry only a few sizes of each dress or outfit to ensure the women of Lawrence are stylish and unique when attending events.
Ginger & Maryanne, 914 Massachusetts St., is another high-dollar shop with prices as high as $130 for designer label jeans. Ginger & Maryanne also carry a wide variety of jewelry to accessorize their stylish, trendy outfits, although the pricetags on their items might dip deep into your wallet.
For a flip-flop haven, visit Shark's Surf Shop, 813 Massachusetts St. Shark's carries brands like Reefs and Crocks in more colors, textures and styles then even the most hardcore beachbum will need.
The cost for flip-flops is slightly higher here — ranging from $20 to $35 — than what you might find at Target or Payless Shoes, but the brands are well known and the shoes will last you more than one fleeting summer.
If you have a fancy for British goods, treat yourself to Cadbury chocolate or English cookies
Third Planet Imports, 846 Massachusetts St., and Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts St., carry a wide variety of merchandise like hemp, jewelry, incense and candles for lower prices and in a groovy, try-it-to-see-if you-like-it atmosphere. Creation Station sells a variety of tie-dyed and locally-made clothing. Third Planet buys locally-owned products and also sells imported items.
at Brits, 929 Massachusetts St. Brits carries British memorabilia, movies and books as well as smaller gifts. But beware: These English treats are all imported from across the Pond and they don't come cheap.
Sell-Buy-Trade
TOP
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
If you're on a tight budget, you can sell and trade your clothing at stores like Wild Man Vintage, 939 Massachusetts St., and Arizona Trading Co., 734 Massachusetts St. These stores allow you to sell your used clothing for in-store credit or cash, and with the racks and racks of vintage duds and one-of-a-kind styles, using in-store credit at either shop will guardee you a unique style. If you're looking to pawn off your music and books as well as your threads, go to Kief's Downtown Music, 823 Massachusetts St., and the Dusty Bookshelf, 708 Massachusetts St. Both stores use the same concept of buy and trade, which makes it easy to switch your old music and books for new-to-you entertainment.
Dorm-necessities
Bryan Chausse, Lawrence resident and Shark's Surf Shop employee, checks in new inventory for the summer season. Shark's Surf Shop, 813 Massachussetts St., was established in 1989 and specializes in men's and women's apparel and shoes.
Target, 3201 Iowa St., Pier 1 Imports, 3211 Iowa St., and the World Market, 3106 Iowa St., are great places to find dorm decorations and furniture for a low to medium cost. You might buy the same shower curtain or living room lamp as your next-door neighbor, but you won't spend a month's worth of rent doing it. Urban Outfitters is another option for trendy furniture accents, but the décor there can cost you up to $100 or more. To light up your home go to Eangee Home Design, 933 Massachusetts St. Eangee is a native Lawrence shop and provides uniquely styled lamps starting as low as $49.

If you're homesick for your usual mall-type shopping, Lawrence won't sell you short. Downtown has several corporate chain stores. Find familiarity at The Buckle, 805 Massachusetts St., American Eagle, 619 Massachusetts St., or the Gap, 643 Massachusetts St., where

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Eating is an important gastronomic and social event for students. But the cost for eating out can be expensive, especially if you eat out more than a couple times a week. For those of you with fewer resources, here are suggestions about how to eat out for $5 or less. Here are five restaurants, there are more, which fit this category. These establishments are in no particular order.
In virtually all student housing on and off campus delivery is important, and many businesses deliver. Chinese and pizza are the most common delivery businesses, and in keeping with traditional logic here are two establishments that are good and affordable.
Little Caesars, 1410 Kasold Dr. offers a daily special of one large cheese or pepperoni pizza for $5. The pizza can feed two and breadsticks are only two dollars more. Their is no need to call ahead, the staff make plenty each day.
For a more sophisticated meal,
Jade Garden, 1410 Kasold Dr.,
offers students myriad flavors
and options. This restaurant has more than 30 items that are less than $5, ranging from appetizers to entrees. The business delivers on orders of more than $10.
Often students need to eat on the fly. For a quick burger on-the-go, try Bucky's Drive In, 2120 W. Ninth St. The long-time Lawrence establishment offers classic American food — burgers, fries, onion rings and milk shakes. Mix and match items at the store to fit your budget.
For a more relaxed, dine in deal, try Cicil's Pizza, 2020 W. 23rd St. You can enjoy an
all-you-can-eat buffet for only $3.99. The buffet even includes desert.
Finally, International House of Pancakes offers many items for under and about five dollars. Crepe and pancakes can help after a long night or early morning. IHOP is open 24 hours a day, every day.
All these establishments are only recommendations for the places to go, there are others that have daily specials throughout the year all around Lawrence.

Lending a helping hand
BY ASHLEY MICHAELS

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Lawrence community is home to a wide variety of volunteer service opportunities, but finding the right one to fit your passions and time constraints can be hard to do. To make the process easier, the University of Kansas Center for Community Outreach offers its services to help students find their perfect fit in the volunteer community.
The Center for Community Outreach is a student-run, nonprofit organization designed to provide volunteer opportunities to students and they also act as a referral agency if one of their 15 programs doesn't fit the student's interest. It began in 1990 and has logged more than 30,000 community service hours annually and claimed about 7,000 volunteers each year.
One of the most popular volunteer services among students is the Jubilee Café, said John Wilson, director of the Center for Community Outreach. The
Jubilee Café volunteers serve breakfast to the needy in Lawrence every Tuesday and Friday morning from 6 to 9 a.m. at 946 Vermont St.
"The volunteers really enjoy it because they get to cook," Wilson said. "But the real joy comes from visiting with individuals who may or may not be homeless and learning their life story."
Wilson said the Center for Community Outreach is looking to expand its program for this upcoming school year. The main focus of the expansion process will be targeting academic departments and talking with deans about how they can integrate service with what they are doing in the classroom, a concept called service learning, Wilson said.
The Center for Service Learning will open in the fall. Its goal is to get students to realize that service and education can coexist and be strengthened by each other. Wilson said.
feel like they had enough time, but there are many different volunteer opportunities that don't take much time at all. Something as simple as sitting with a child and visiting for 30 or 45 minutes, like they do in Bigs Students, sponsored by the Big Brother, Big Sister foundation. Wilson said.
Wilson said that a major factor in students' decisions not to volunteer was that they didn't
"We have such a diverse group of people on campus with great talents, there's no sense in not using those talents towards service opportunities." Wilson said.
Veronica Pastore, Wichita seniior, said she was enjoying her volunteering experience.
"I think it brings together great people who are motivated to help the community." Pastore said.
To get involved with the Center for Community Outreach you can sign up on the Web site. To get information about the different programs that interest you, Wilson said the staff encouraged students to come in and talk to see what they wanted to get out of their volunteer services.

Drinking cheap seven days a week
As college students we face challenges daily.
Not only are we required to pick and prepare for our future but we also have to juggle outside factors such as work, family and friends. If we are lucky enough to catch a break and find some downtime we're confronted with the harsh reality of a low-balance bank account So, what's a student working with meager means to do? Drink on the dime. Kansan staff writer Liz Nartowicz offers a day-by-day guide to specials around Lawrence to assist you in your consumption needs.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Pitcher Perfect
U-Call-It
Everyone deserves some relaxation after a manic Monday of class or work, or both Jet Lag Lounge 610 Florida St., and Johnny's Tavern. 401 N. Second St., serve as your refuge. For only $4 you can split a pitcher with your buds at either establishment. Jet Lag provides a plentiful mix of people without the crowd. Johnny's Tavern has the down-home charm of Lawrence with its variety of patrons. Its best Monday appeal is its half-priced pizza after 5 p.m.
The Jazzahus St, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., steps up the average $1.50 U-Call-It specials by including premium liquors. It's hard to beat a $1.50 Crown and Coke. Besides the spectacular special, The Jazzahaus serves as a safe zone for a first date. If the candlelit, relaxed atmosphere doesn't reduce your jitters, the savings will.
Margarita
Ah, nothing helps turn up the heat on hump day like tequila. The best bets for low prices but high quality margaritas are at The Sandbar, 117 E. Eighth St., and either of the El Mezcalz, 804 Iowa St. and 1819 W 23 St. The Sandbar offers $2 8 oz margaritas and $2 Tecate cans while entertaining customers with its under-the-sea atmosphere. The Sandbar showcases a nightly show at 10 p.m. called "The Hurricane" where mermaiads dance on the bar and patrons are showered with confetti. Perfect for Jimmy Buffet fans. With a giant fish tank full of exotic fish in the background, drinkers can shoot darts or play Foosball. El Mezcal competes with its $2.49, 16 oz lime margaritas and authentic Mexican cuisine.
O.D.
Thursday reigns as king in the mass consumption category, with almost all establishments contending to be the ultimate dealmakers. Leaders among these bar battles are Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., and The Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St. Louise's, with its $1.75 domestic schoolers and dim
Food-Friendly
Start the weekend off right with dinner and drinks. For tasty food and jumbo drinks, head to Bambino's Italian Café, 1801 Massachusetts St., for $3 fishbowl margaritas. Quinton's Bar & Grill, 615 Massachusetts St., also offers fantastic food and a $3.50 32 oz. Margarita special. Stay and watch the restaurant turn
Super
Two is the magic number,
where $2 can get you practically anything, everywhere.
Harbor Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St., boasts $2 Rolling Rocks and Henry T's Bar & Grill, 3520 W. Sixth St., has $2 any bottle.
Liquid Nightclub, 806 W. 24th St., lays out $2 double wells while Mad Hatter Bar & Grill, 623 Vermont St., has $2 big beers.

Another gold mind of goods is The Ranch. Here you can put $3 premium U-Call-Its and $1.50 Jag- erbombs down your gullet. into a night-club when it opens all four of its bars.

Bloody Sunday
The hair of dog can be your best friend. Nurse yourself back to health at Louise's West, 1307 W. Seventh St., with the sweet deal of $2 Bloody Marys. Not a tomato lover? Not a problem. Louise's West offers $3 schooners and $2 Boulevard pints so that everyone can drink and be merry. Pop into Jackpot Saloon & Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., to try a new drink, Bulleit Horsefeather, an old-fashioned drink of Bulleit brand bourbon and ginger ale, to match the saloon atmosphere.

Reduce the stress caused by professors, papers, exams
BY ASHEY MICHAELS
amichaels@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The first semester of college can be a stressful time for freshmen. There are ways to ease and manage the stress.
Paula Shaver, project assistant for Student Health Services, offers several ways to manage the stress that often accompanies college life.
Analyze tasks
First you have to look at the tasks at hand. Which ones are the most important, and which ones are the least important. Start seeing things in smaller chunks and then take small steps to complete the tasks so that you don't become overwhelmed.
Get organized
Once you get organized you will reduce your stress because you won't constantly be searching for what you are looking for.
Too much of any one these will cause unwanted stress in your life because regardless of
Balance social life, work and school
which one you are spending too much time on, you are neglecting the others. A steady balance of each aspect will keep you from stressing about not spending enough time with friends, working too much or not getting your school work done.
Focus on goals
Set goals. Once you achieve a goal it makes the stressful road you took to get there worthwhile.
Learn to say no
When your schedule is full sometimes you just have to say no. Whether it be helping a friend with their financial problems or playing in an intramural basketball game, sometimes you have to say no to things you don't want to do and even some things you do want to do, if you already have too much on your plate.
Treat your body right
Excessive use of either drugs or alcohol is going to affect your ability to think and make good choices. Making bad choices can often times lead to stressful situations.
It's a simple fact that your
body functions at a lower level if you don't get enough sleep.
Eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly
You hear it all the time, but many don't understand how it ties in to stress relief. Exercise reduces stress hormones and adrenaline hormones that come up when you are simply just thinking about things. No physical reminder has to be present, just a thought of something can lead to the release of these hormones. When we exercise we reduce these hormones. Eating a balanced diet makes us better physically, and the better we are physically the better we are mentally.

NIGHTLIFE; 21 AND OVER
Drinking options plentiful in Lawrence
In Lawrence, you'll never want for a place to drink
BY MANDY HENORIA AND
ADAM LAND
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
Nightlife in Lawrence is as diverse as the students who attend the University of Kansas. Students 21 and older have a variety of bars and clubs that offer a place to dance, smoke or just have a quiet drink.
Downtown dominates most of the nightlife business. The selection on where to go is hindered only by your preference. The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., Its Brothers, 1105 Massachusetts St., and Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., are all establishments where drinking goes with a dance floor.
Drinking can be done anywhere, but personal preference does make some bars more enjoyable than others. For a more sophisticated taste, try eight-onefive, 815 New Hampshire St., which is well known for its martini special. Ambiance can bring a little flavor to certain bars: the Sandbar, 17 E. Eighth St., brings a touch of the beach to downtown, the Jazzhaus, 926 Massachusetts St., gives the patron the feel of a hidden speakeasy and the Gaslight Tavern & Coffee House, 317 N. Second St., is smaller than your car.
For great live music, check out Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St., or The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. These places all offer music on most nights and usually don't charge an extreme amount of money to get in the door. From the outside Jackpot looks like a western saloon, but the offerings are more rock than country. The Bottleneck is Lawrence's most famous place to hear anything ranging from punk to indie music.
Drinking can be done anywhere but personal preference does make some bars more enjoyable than others.
The greek community tends to favor the "triangle" of bars: The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., and Bullwinkle's, 1344 Tennessee St. The Hawk is 18 and over, so a younger crowd usually hangs out here. The Wheel showcases tons of KU memorabilia and has the best pizza to eat after a night out. Bullwinkle's is a small and loveable shack, but only serves beer and closes at midnight.
For a great brew, no place is more associated with Lawrence and beer than Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., which brews its own beer in what was once the city train station. The brewery has standard and seasonal beers to offer. However, for sheer variety, Old Chicago, 2329 Iowa St., has more than 30 beers on tap, and 100 altogether.
If you want to get away from the crowds and downtown, try a "hole-in-the-wall" bar. In these
bars a person can sit, drink and have a conversation without shouting. Stu's Midtown, 925 Iowa St., and Louise's West, 1307 W. Seventh St., are all sure bets.
Lawrence offers all types of drinking options, and the University provides a safe way home. Safe Ride will pick a person up, from wherever they are, and take them to their home. The service won't shuttle you to bars, but it's a safe way to get home after a night of partying. Just call 864-SAFE.

Nearby hot spot offers cheap fun
BY ASHLEY MICHAELS editor@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
If you feel like there is nothing to do in Lawrence, take a 30-minute drive to Village West in Kansas City, Kan., and check out what it has to offer.
At first glance it might appear that the Village West area would better suit a weekend getaway for your mom and dad. 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.
Kansas City T-Bones
If you like baseball, but don't want to drive all the way to Kaufman Stadium for a Royals game, head to a T-Bones game. The Great American Ballpark is home to the 1-Bones, an independent professional team based in Kansas City. Tickets are available at the ballpark ticket office. Ticket prices range from general admission, $5. to prime, $14.
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.
AMERICA'S HOME FURNISHING
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas City, Kan., offers two levels of home furnishings. The store is located near other attractions such as the Kansas Speedway and Cabela's.

Besides the merchandise, a fun and free attraction to Cabela's is the wildlife displays, like this scene of an African lion attacking a zebra. Another display is Mule Deer Country, which is one of the largest collections of trophy mule deer assembled.
Cabela's
EASTERN CENTER FOR EWELS & WOODWORKING
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 central display in Cabela's includes lifelike scenes of mule deer, caribou, muskox, and several other animals. Several customers take a few minutes to walk around the display and capture a few snapshots of the animals.
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
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 Borzo'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.
"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." Vanice said.

Local fun under 21
BY NEIL MULKA
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
If you're anything like me, being under 21 years old is not going to keep you away from alcohol. By the time I reached that milestone, I'd already puked in my roommate's backpack, thinking it was a trash can (and ruining $200 worth of books), visited the emergency room three times (two for me, one for a friend ... kind of like whiskey shots), went home with a lady that resembled Kennedy from MTV (with an extra 75 pounds) and referred to myself as "Captain Keegstand" more than once.
Kansan file photo
But there will be at least one night, maybe a couple, which will make you say, "I just don't want to drink." Shocking, yes, but it will happen. Maybe you'll be suffering from a hangover so severe you wish Captain Morgan would use his saber to slice your head off. Or perhaps you will have scored your third MIP, and this time your parents aren't going to pay for it. Or maybe you can just have a good time without booze.
Either way, you need to stop, rip this section out, and stick it in that part of your wallet where the condoms should go, because you're going to need this.
There are a lot of bars you can't get into in Lawrence because you're not 21, but you can get into a strip club.
"Call me Candy"
Located north of the Kaw River is All-Stars, 913 N. Second St., Lawrence's only 18-and-over strip joint. With a $20 cover charge per person, sit back, relax with your favorite soft drink and enjoy a show from one of All-Stars' twenty-five dancers on the venue's two stages.
Lindsey Worther, who works at the recreation center, says there are less people working out after 8 p.m. So while your friends are chowing down on a Big Ass from Gumbys and working through a 30-pack of Keystone Light, you can be sculpting your own buns. Less people working out means less time waiting for your favorite exercise machine and more time to sculpt that perfect body.
Most people don't associate working out with "nightlife," however, the best time to go to the Student Recreation Fitness Center is when your buddies are starting their nightlife shenanigans.

Lawrence is a great town with a rock 'n' roll heart or hot for hip-hop, but a lot of venues
Patrons of the Pool Room, 925 Iowa St., shoot billiards. Pool halls, such as the Pool Room; Astro's, 601 Kasold Dr.; and Phoggy Dog, 2228 Iowa St., offer several hours a day for underage patrons to play.
There are a lot of bars you can't get into in Lawrence because you're not 21, but you can get into a strip club.
YAMAHA
Punk's not dead
Don't despain, young rocker. You can find hope in a yellow house on 1900 Louisiana St.
here are 21 and over.
The Haunted Kitchen is a stop for dozens of touring, do-it-yourself punk rock and metal bands from far away lands like Sweden. The basement has a makeshift stage, PA system and acoustics that will test the limit of your earrums.
Cover charges to get into the Kitchen are usually only a couple bucks and there is no alcohol served on the premises. But you might be able to get a tasty vegan vittle.
Kansan file photo
Andrew W.K. rocks out on the guitar during his performance on the lawn outside the Lied Center. The SUA-sponsored concert, which included three other acts, attracted about 1,000 people.
Dance! Dance! Dance!
Like dancing? Hate Top 40? You have a couple options. Tease your hair, grab your stonewash jeans, familiarize yourself with Duran Duran's Rio and head to Neon, the '80s dance night at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Every Thursday beginning at 9 p.m., an eclectic crowd of hipsters, rockers, goths, post-ravers and regular-joe college guys cram onto the Granada's dance floor to groove the night away to Blondie, Flock of Seagulls and Cyndi Lauper.
If you're into a more modern beat, Tribal Vision might fulfill your needs. Tribal Vision describes itself as "a group of people who throw free, electronic-
themed dance parties for the Midwest community" and it has been throwing electronic-themed dance parties and events at area venues since 2000.
Tim Hiersted, a Lawrence resident and self-described informal leader of the group's parties, lives up to the first word of the group's name.
"As a group we have always sought to integrate a tribal feel into our parties, by throwing them for free and in a natural setting, selling cheap $1 water to pay for expenses, recycling plastic and glass bottles and cans, having bon fires, and always trying to bring in artists that play eclectic and interesting music." Hjersted says. "I think because of what people have come to expect from the parties they go into it with a different attitude."
Hjersted has parties on his family farm on the outskirts of Lawrence and local venues such as the Gaslight Tavern & Coffee House, 317 N. Second St. and the Granada.

CAR TROUBLES
Only get car care advice from experts
BY AMANDA O'TOOLE editor@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
My car has been good to me.
"Old Blue," my Ford Taurus, has helped me get where I need to go.
But, like any 15-year-old car, my four-door sedan with a salvage title and a Maaco paint job has had its rough days.
It's made noises, shook, stalled and smoked. But being old and far from trendy doesn't mean Old Blue is headed for the scrap yard — at least not yet.
There are a few miles left for its engine, and in order to get the most of Old Blue, or any car, it's important to get regular maintenance checks.
Taking my car to the shop was a task my dad was in charge of, but since I came to college, it's been my responsibility.
Maintenance is simple enough. Every 2,500 miles or so, I take my car in for an oil change.
Because of the miles on my car—it has well over 100,000—it needs more than an oil change.
Any phone book has a number of listings for auto diagnostic services. Some mechanics spe-
However, choosing a place to put your beloved wheels is more complicated than a flip through the yellow pages.
Call the mechanic and ask whether the shop is certified, and if so, in what. If you don't know a lot about cars, ask someone you trust who knows what's what to go along with you to drop the car off.
I've found it beneficial to ask friends, professors and even teaching assistants for advice on mechanics. If they've lived in Lawrence for more than five years, chances are, they've been to a mechanic. Recommendations or complaints are helpful in weeding out the good mechanics from the bad.
Once you've found a mechanic, explain to whoever takes your keys what exactly is the problem. Don't feel stupid trying to re-enact noises or explain strange shakes or smells.
Also, it's important you tell the mechanic to call before they fix anything. If you don't think a test needs to be run, or you know you can change an air filter yourself, tell them not to proceed. It's

Car troubles are common in older cars and may require you to become responsible for your car for the first time while at college. Amanda O'Otole, Wichita senior, and "Old Blue" have been through many of the problems that you may encounter.
OK to say — it is your car.
That said, keep in mind it's not a good idea to ignore problems because you can't afford to fix them or because you don't have the time. Charge
the maintenance on a credit card and find time. Ignoring a problem could make your troubles worse and seriously ruin your car. A $500 bill is much better than buying a new one.

ENTERTAINMENT
Poker Pub provides legal poker
BY CALEB REGAN
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAM CORRESPONDENT
Local bars have found a new way to fill their stools. Poker tournaments are attracting customers to local establishments, and not just for the prizes.
There is no money involved, but according to Tom Conroy, owner of Conroy's Pub, that doesn't keep people from participating in the games.
"It's mostly the same crowd every time, so people aren't even necessarily playing to win the prizes. They play to hang out with friends," Conroy said.
Conroy's Pub, 3115 West Sixth St., and other bars in town now host tournaments on a regular basis. They go through Poker Pub Inc., a Lawrence-based company, that puts on tournaments in Lawrence, Kansas City, St. Louis and in other cities. There are no cash winners, but prizes are given to winners.
The tournaments originally began with tournaments at the Pool Room, 925 Iowa St., and Conroy's. Conroy said his place was too small to be that busy.
"It was overwhelming in the beginning. We almost couldn't keep up." Conroy said.
Since that time the Flamingo Club, 501 N. Ninth St., Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Dr., and Liquid Night Club, 806 W. 24th St., have all anteed up on the action. But that hasn't affected Conroy's business.
"The crowds are still big, nearly three times a normal night's crowd. But the following is extremely loyal. It's the same people, the same friends every time," he said.
Poker Pub began in February 2004 through the work of Leo Magsalin. Andy Sharp, director of marketing, said although the company has done well that that was not the sole end Magsalin was aiming for.
"Leo started all this for the players' enjoyment," Sharp said. "In a year and a half, we've done pretty well but it all started as a way to provide entertainment to people who like to play poker. And you know what? Everyone loves it; bars, players, and ourselves, we're glad to be able to do it."
In a state like Kansas, Poker Pub provides an opportunity people would otherwise not get to play poker in a pub setting.
And if you win, you don't come away empty-handed. Prizes include chip sets, hand-held poker games, and even the occasional trip to Las Vegas.

Kansas freshman linebacker Brandon Duncan always thought he would play football for the University of Texas, the team he made an oral commitment to during his junior year of high school.
But after the Garland, Texas,-native didn't sign a letter of intent to play for the Longhorns in February, Duncan said Texas coach Mack Brown called him in June and informed him that there was no longer
a spot for him as a Longhorn.
That sent Duncan into panic mode, and he began looking for a place to play football for the 2005 season.
His mother pointed him to the University of Kansas. She had called Kansas co-defensive coordinator Dave Doeren to let him know of her son's interest.
"My mom was telling me from the get-go that, 'You'll love it up there, you just have to come up here and meet the coaches and players. They have a real good team, everyone is bonding.'" Duncan said. "I came

up here and saw exactly what they were talking about. I didn't even go and look anywhere else after I came up here."

'Hawks take on new hue of blue
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas football team unveiled new light blue uniforms last Thursday, after three years of donning navy blue jerseys.
The new uniforms are the lighter blue, dubbed "Kansas blue" by the Athletics Department. The University of Kansas designated "Kansas blue" the
3
official shade earlier this year.
"I like them," senior linebacker Banks Floodman said. "They look like the Patriots and they're pretty good," Floodman said in reference to the defending Super Bowl champions.
The new home uniforms will be blue with white numbers and lettering. The pants will be gray with a thick blue stripe down the center. The team will wear white uniforms for away games.
Junior quarterback Adam Barmann said the Jayhawks will have alternate red uniforms as well.
The helmets will be the new lighter blue, with a red stripe down the center and have a gray facemask.
The jerseys also are the first official adidas apparel shown to the public since the Athletics Department began its apparel contract with the company July 1.
"I grew up wearing adidas," Barrmann said. "I think they're good-looking."
Despite the new uniforms, team members realized that the new uniform color would not determine their success on the field this season.
"I think they're nice," senior running back Clark Green said. "It's not about the uniform; it's more about what you do in the uniform."
The team will debut the new uniforms Sept. 3 against Florida Atlantic at Memorial Stadium.

Young squad gives Self hope for season

MEN'S BASKETBALL
After losing four seniors who made up the core of last year's team, the new-look Jayhawks have 10 underclassmen on their roster. Three of those players make up this year's recruiting class: guards Mario Chalmers and Micah Downs and forward Julian Wright. Labeled as the fourth-best recruiting class in the country by rivals.com, Self said the incoming freshmen would have an opportunity to make an impact early in the season.
Young, quick, athletic and exciting; That's how Kansas coach Bill Self describes the 2005-06 Jayhawks.
Bill Self coaches Sasha Kaun during a game last season. The Jayhawks' 2005-2006 season begins with game against Fort Hays State on Nov. 9 and includes non-conference opponents such as Arizona, Nevada and Kentucky

"We lost a core group of seniors last year and you don't replace seniors with freshmen and not skip a little bit of a beat." Self said. "We are very excited about the young guys we have to replace them, Julian, Micah and Mario all have the potential to be high impact players."
Sophomore guard Jeremy Case
said Self has told the team that there would be ups and downs early in the season, but Case said his coach seemed elated about this year's team.
"We all know how young we are, but coach says we are going to have fun, more fun than we had last year," Case said. "You can just tell he is really excited about all of the young guys we have."
Chalmers, Downs and Wright,
all McDonald's All-Americans, will be competing for serious playing time, maybe even starting positions.
Chalmers, a 6-foot-1 point guard from Anchorage, Alaska, averaged 26 points per game last season at Bartlett High School. Downs, a 6-foot-8 shooting guard, averaged 24.8 points and 12 rebounds for Juanita High in Kirkland, Wash. While Wright, a 6-foot-9 forward from Chicago Heights, Ill., averaged 14.9 points and 7.0 rebounds for Homewood-Flossmor High School.
With the addition of the athletic freshmen, Case said the Jayhawks would play much faster than last season.
"We set up offense a lot last year, but we are going to be so much quicker this year," Case said. "I can see us running a lot more."
Self said he expected sophomores C.J. Giles, Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun and Russell Robinson to pick

Mangino needs time to produce success
The question is: how much time is Athletics Director Lew Perkins going to give him?
It's only a matter of time before Kansas football coach Mark Mangino turns the Jayhawks into an upper tier Big 12 Conference team.
So much so, that Mangino thinks his team will compete for this year's Big 12 North title.
The answer should be two or three more years, regardless of how the team performs this season.
If you look at this year's roster and compare it to the one Mangino inherited back in 2002, the progress he has made is obvious.
"I haven't been this excited entering a season before." Mangino said. "We are going to be a good football team, no question about it."
There's reason to be excited, because with defensive standouts like cornerback Charles Gordon and a slew of senior linebackers roaming the Jayhawk sidelines, Kansas has starters that can line up against any other team in the conference.
The team was close to big things last year, and with fewer injuries or a few more good bounces, Kansas could have easily found itself in a secondstraight bowl game.
But with so many close calls last year, and one of the conference's best defenses returning, some fans and media members are starting to put pressure on Mangino to win now.
Everything from his record of 12-24 to the football team's minor NCAA rules violations to Perkins simply wanting to hire his own guy have been mentioned as reasons Mangino is on the hot seat.
If you ask Mangino, though, he's not feeling any pressure.
Four years is far too little time to demand anything out of a college football coach. And it's not like he hasn't had his fair share of success since taking over for Terry Allen.
"The only pressure that I suffer is self-induced. That's the only pressure that I have," he said. "I'm confident in our team and I'm confident in our assistant coaches and I'm confident in myself."
He added that the only self-induced pressure was that he wanted to win, but didn't feel any outside pressure.
Though Mangino hasn't produced a winning season, he's shown flashes of brilliance, with two victories over Missouri and one over Kansas State.
He also guided the Jayhawks to the Tangerine Bowl in 2003.
One doesn't just stumble upon those kinds of accomplishments.
And he shouldn't.
Mangino has proven that he can recruit, motivate his players and coach at a high level.
In doing so, Kansas came within one play of defeating Texas and crushed Missouri on the road.
After losing three quarterbacks to injuries last season the football team owned a 3-6 record with games against highly ranked Texas and at Missouri remaining. The team could have packed it in and no one would have blamed them.
The Jayhawks had no business being in either of those games, but they were. And the only reason they played so well was because of Mangino's leadership.
But Mangino somehow managed to not only convince his team to keep playing, but to perform to the best of its ability.
That proves that Mangino has control of the football program. And if you consider how bare the cupboard was when he arrived, there's no doubt that Kansas is heading in the right direction.
"We were just knocking on the door last year," junior quarterback Adam Barmann said. "I really think it's going to come together this year. I think this is going to be our year."
Even if it isn't, and Mangino loses a few more close games and fails to reach a second bowl game this season. Perkins should cut him slack.
With enough time, the progress he's made will turn into big victories.

Chicago's QB injury puts Bears in sticky situation again
ST.LOUIS - Chicago is once again bracing for a long stretch without quarterback Rex Grossman, who broke his left ankle in the Bears' exhibition loss to the St. Louis Rams.
He will need surgery and is expected to be sidelined for three to four months.
Grossman ruptured a ligament in his right knee in the third game last season. Chad Hutchinson, the Bears' back-up, was 1-4 last year as the starter.

First game looms

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
With the fall season just around the corner, it doesn't appear the Kansas softball team will have any trouble building on last year's success.
The Jayhawks went through changes to improve the program in the offseason, and incoming talent will compliment the returning players.
Freshman pitcher Valerie George, who was named the 4A-5A Arizona State Player of the Year, is expected to make immediate impact for Kansas. She was also a Louisville Slugger/NFCA High School All-American.
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said that George will be a critical part of the team's success, because pitching dominates the game of softball.
Freshman infielder Val Chapple could also make an impact. She earned All-American honors last year at Olathe East High School, where she guided her team to an undefeated season. Chapple received the titles of 2005 National High School Softball Athlete of the Year and the 2005 Gatorade Softball Player of the Year, for the state of Kansas.
Catcher Erika Simington and utility player Stevie Crisosto round out the list of signees.
Serena Settlemer, Kelso, Wash., then junior, pitched a perfect game against UMKC during the spring season, which was the first perfect game since 1994. Settlemer, a returning starter, and the softball team open their season with two home tournaments Sept. 24-25 and Oct. 1-2 at Arrocha Ballpark.
The cast of newcomers will be supported by an experienced group of returning players. Junior infielder Destiny Frankenstein was an All- Big 12 First Team Selection, last year, as she finished the season with a .371 batting average. Joining her on the All- Big 12 First Team was outfielder Heather Stanley.
The official NCAA softball season is in the spring, but the team understands the importance of the fall season.
The fall will give Kansas a chance to give its freshmen experience at the plate and in the field. Bunge said.
"It will give us a chance to mix our lineup up and move things around," Bunge said. "We want to break our freshmen in."
Frankenstein said she wanted
to establish a gametime atmosphere from the start.
"We go into it thinking that it feels like spring," she said. "It gives us an idea of where we are and it really gives us a guide to what we need to do better."
Kansas will take the field this fall without three of its premier players from last season. Pitcher Kathy McVey was lost to graduation, while pitcher Christina Ross and outfielder Cyndi Duran transferred to other programs.
"Christina's loss is a little bit of a blow to the pitching staff because Christina threw some great innings for us this year," Bunge said.
Junior outfieldier Ashley Frazer will also say goodbye to the team, as Bunge said she is leaving to focus on academics.
She had a team best 1.93 ERA for the Jahways last season.
Kansas will look to build on last year's 31-24 record. The team made the NCAA Softball Regional, but eventually lost to Georgia Tech. Kansas had not made it to a Regional since 1999.
There are still three to four spots left on the roster. Tryouts will be held Friday, August 19, at 4 p.m. in the Wagnon Student Athlete Center.

Bonds missed by team, town
Edited by Kellis Robinett
BY JOSH DUBOW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nearby boats don't blow their horns in celebration anymore. And the rubber chickens that fans waved during intentional walks are mostly collecting dust.
SAN FRANCISCO — Baseballs launched into McCovey Cove float untouched in the water now. The kayakers who once fought for Barry Bonds' splash hits have found better things to do.
It doesn't take a glance to left field, the scoreboard, or the standings to realize something's missing around the San Francisco Giants.
From depressed television ratings to ticket scalpers giving away seats at cut-rate prices, signs of Bonds' season-long absence are everywhere.
"It's been disastrous," said Ted Choi, the owner of City Kayak, which rents boats for fans to take to McCovey Cove. "Basically, the kayak rentals are down to practically none."
When Florida's Carlos Delgado splashed a homer into the cove last month, there was nobody in the bay to retrieve it — and with good reason, because Michael Tucker is the only Giant with a splash hit all season. When Bonds is healthy, fans arrive hours before first pitch to find a place in the water.
With Bonds now saying his knee injury will keep him out of the lineup until 2006, this has turned into a rough year for all the people who have made money off the slugger's home run records and the victories he brings the Giants. Game tickets are one indicator: on the Internet, they're selling for as little as one-quarter of their face value.
"When you've got the excitement I've created — my home runs are a lottery ticket — then you've got a city that's excited." Bonds said earlier this season during a particularly demoralizing losing stretch. "If you win, you're going to create excitement, but you've got to win games. You can't not win and expect people to come to baseball games."
As for Bonds himself, the financial impact of his abesence has been mixed. He's been hugely successful in licensing and memorabilia, ranking among the top five off-field earners in baseball, according to a recent study by Forbes magazine.
But while Bonds has publicly denied using steroids, he told a federal grand jury investigating steroid distribution by the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative that he used substances prosecutors believe were illegal performance enhancing drugs, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Bonds' off-field income has dropped since then, according to Forbes, and he has lost opportunities for national endorsement deals that typically come to an athlete of his stature.
"He is not necessarily a fan favorite these days and that certainly makes some advertisers very leery," said Steven Levitt, the president of Marketing Evaluations Inc.

Today marks the start of another year of Kansas cross country, and a new chance to qualify for the NCAA championships.
Redwine said that the experience on his team will be a key factor in performing well this season
"Our goal is that we want to try and get the team into the NCAA meet. We were short of doing that last year," Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said.
"The maturity of our team this year should help us to get a bid at the NCAA as a team," Redwine said.
Last season, Benson Chesang,
now a junior, finished in first
place at the Big 12 Conference
championship in Topeka, and was
crowned the Big 12 champion in
men's cross country.
AS
"Benson had an outstanding year, winning the Big 12 championship, being seventh at the NCAA championship as an individual." said Redwine.
Not only did Benson win the Big 12 championship, but the men's team came in fourth place overall. The women finished tenth.
The KU men came in first place in the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm, just north of Lawrence, and in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational in Topeka.
They also placed fourth overall out of 21 teams at the Midwest Regional in Peoria, Ill.
Kansas women's cross country placed second at the Bob Timmons Invitational and fourth out of eight in the Wildcat Invitational.

Offseason should improve team
After finishing ninth in the Big 12 Championship last season, the Kansas women's golf team has been working hard this offseason to improve its performance.
Senior Chelsey Pryor kept busy this summer playing in the Western Golf Association's Junior Championship, the Trans National Amateur, the U.S. Amateur qualifier and the Collegiate Players Tour.
In addition to playing in tournaments, the Washington, Pa., native paid special attention to specific aspects of her game.
Pryor isn't the only golfer trying to better her game. Coach Erin O'Neil ensured the rest of the team kept from getting rusty.
Although the golfers don't work out together over the summer, they often see each other at tournaments. Pryor said she ran into most of her teammates at events.
"I just have them play in amateur events all around the country," O'Neil said. "Just to play as much as they can, because that's what helps you get better."
"I've been working on my chipping because it's something that I don't quite have down yet," she said.
O'Neil, coming into her second season as coach, has high expectations for this year's squad. Kansas will return every member from last season, including seniors Meredith Win-
kelmann, Tiffany Woods and Pryor. O'Neil said she wanted the team to finish in the top half at the Big 12 Championship and make a NCAA Regional appearance. At the same time, she wants the team to pace itself and use each tournament as an opportunity to improve as a team.
"It'll pay off in the long run," O'Neil said.
Pryor shared her coach's aspirations for the team, and she also set personal goals for herself.
"I'd like to lower my scoring average," she said. "Really, I'm just expecting to be a really good leader for the team, because I am one of the seniors, and just try to set a good example for everybody and leave on a really good, positive note."
Pryor said her scoring average is around 78.
Pryor's optimism for this season stems from the changes she has seen in the program since she arrived at Kansas.
"People really have a desire now to do well," Pryor said. "When I came in my freshman year, most of the team was seniors, so I think they were kind of ready to just be on the outs with everything."
Kansas' first tournament is set for Sept. 12 in Fort Collins, Colo., where Colorado will play host for the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic.

The Jayhawks will travel to Parrish, Fla., in late February for the Central District Invitational. Pryor said this trip will be the most difficult tournament of the regular season.

Squad faces hard schedule
Young roster, tough match-ups combine to challenge Self's Jayhawk.
BY MIRANDA LENNING milenning@kansan.com KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITHER
This year's Jayhawk squad may be young and inexperienced, but they will have to learn quickly. For the second year in a row, Kansas has landed one of the most difficult schedules in college basketball.
"It was a very difficult schedule last year," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "But we probably play more high-profile teams this year than we did last year. Once again this will play out to be one of the best schedules in the country."
Kansas will play Arizona in the first round of the Maui Invitational in Hawaii over Thanksgiving break, Nov. 23-27.
They will then face Connecticut or Arkansas. Gonzaga, Maryland, Michigan State and Chaminade will also compete in the tournament.
On Dec 1, Kansas, who returns just one starter from last
year's team,
will face Nevada,
a team that advanced to the second round of the
NCAA tournament last year.
Two days later,
Kansas will suit up against Western
Illinois before
against Colorado on Jan. 11.

"It sounds like a good schedule," said sophomore guard Jeremy Case, who didn't seem worried about the young Jayhawks competing against at least eight NCAA Tournament teams.
"There are goods and bads
to being so young and playing such a tough schedule," he said. "The good thing is that we are going to play hard all of the time because we won't know any better. The bad thing is in a close game situation we won't have the experience we had last season."
The Jayhawks will play on ESPN's Big Monday three times: at Missouri (Jan. 16), versus Texas Tech (Jan. 50) and at Oklahoma State (Feb. 13).
The Big 12 Men's Basketball Championship will be played March 9-12 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
The Jayhawks will play another nonconference game in December; however, details about that game have not been announced.
Kansas was originally scheduled to play at Georgia Tech on Dec. 17, but the game has been postponed until next season.

Giles started five games for the Jayhawks last season in the absence of an injured Wayne Simien.
Jackson and Kaun, who have each added about 15 pounds of muscle over the summer, are expected to compete with Giles and senior Christian Moody for minutes in the paint.
Self said it was too early to tell who would win out, but that he wanted to play more guys for less minutes to create a more athletic type of game.

Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver Terrell Owens does sit-ups in front of his home, last Wednesday. Owens did not attend offseason drills with the rest of the team.
Owens kicked out of camp Eagles' future questioned
DT DAN GELSTON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BETHLEHEM, Pa. — With Terrell Owens seemingly bound for his Atlanta home and taking a break from blasting the Eagles, Donovan McNabb figured it was time to welcome potential replacements.
Philly fans, this is what you could be left with if Owens never returns to the Eagles;
"I'd like for all of you to introduce yourselves to Greg Lewis, Billy McMullen, Brian Westbrook, Reggie Brown," McNabb said after Friday's practice.
That's not exactly Owens and Todd Pinkston. Heck, that's not even Pinkston and Freddie Mitchell.
Whether Owens ever plays for Philadelphia again is anyone's guess.
With Owens banished for a week and Pinkston out for the season with a torn Achilles' tendon, the Eagles go into Monday's preseason opener against Pittsburgh with Lewis and rookie Brown as their starting wide receivers.
"It's a lot being put on a lot of the younger guys," said Lewis, who caught a TD pass in the Super Bowl.
Not much experience, true, but not much drama either. The receivers joined McNabb for his annual offseason drill session in Arizona where they studied the playbook, worked out and shared meals and movies to build camaraderie.
The results have paid off with a crisp training camp.
kansan.com
"Now you look at it and you say, 'These guys seem to have their timing together. Why is that?' Because we spend time together," McNabb said.

Stepping out of a record-setting 2004 season, the Kansas soccer team was arguably the most successful Jayhawk team last year.
Led by three All-Americans, two of which return this season, Kansas shared the Big 12 Regular Season Title with Texas A&M and ended their season with an 18-5-0 record.
Senior forward Caroline Smith and junior defender Holly Gault anchor the 2005 squad as the two returning All-Americans. The Jayhawks lost goalkeeper Meghan Miller to graduation last spring, but picked her up as a volunteer assistant coach for 2005.
This could be the dreaded rebuilding year for the Jayhawks, losing seven players from 2004, all of whom were starters.
Or not.
"Anytime you're the champion, you have a bigger target on your back," Coach Mark Francis said. "But I don't feel that there is any more pressure because we are a different team."
Unlike many rebuilding teams, Kansas brings a loaded bench to compete.
A different team with a few familiar faces. This year's team returns only four starters from the Big 12 Championship squad, in contrast to the 10 players who returned in 2004.
Smith is projected to carry a heavy load offensively. Kansas' all-time leading scorer will combine with a senior-heavy group of forwards to make up for losing nearly half of the Jayhawks' offensive production of last season.
"I think most of the pressure for me comes by being
a leader and making sure everybody sticks together as a team," Smith said. "As far as production goes, other people will step up. Nicole Braman had a great spring and we've got great freshmen coming in. Jessica Smith is coming back and she's a big score for us, too."
Gault, who was named first team All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America last season, will have her work cut out for her in her first season without Miller behind her in goal.
Jessica Smith will be another major offensive supplier along with serving as captain for the young Jayhawk club.
As a whole, the Kansas defense allowed only 13 goals last season. A feat seemingly easy when compared against Miller's Big 12 leading .57 goals against average and .881
save percentage.
Also being looked upon for leadership is junior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo. Named to the Big 12 All-Newcomer team in 2004, Cauzillo also represented Kansas at the 2005 NCAA Leadership Conference earlier this year.
Six freshmen join the mix this fall, including Kansas Gatorade player of the year Missy Geha and high school All-Americans Julie Hanley, goalkeeper, and Jessica Bush, midfielder.forward.
"We've got some very good freshmen that we think will all be able to compete. And we have some returning players that did very well last year." Francis said. "We're going to have a lot of spots open for grabs so it will really be up to individual people to step up and see who wants it worse."
younger team, Francis said he believed in his club and that there was little reason not to expect another successful season to follow up their best in history.
Despite competing with a
"We have to maintain that standard," Francis said. "Last year was a good year, obviously, but we have to maintain that standard and keep getting better from there."
That standard will be tested from day one of their 2005 schedule, beginning with the Aug. 20 exhibition game against Missouri Valley Conference Champion, Drake. Francis said his team was up for the challenge.
"We won't get exposed against teams that aren't very good. It will let us know pretty quick what we need to get better at," Francis said.
VOLLEYBALL KU volleyball expects successful season
BY MATT WILSON

Perhaps never in school history has a Kansas volleyball season arrived with such anticipation and promise.
Coming off back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, the Jayhawks have their sights set on big things in 2005. The Jayhawks return five starters from last season's 19-12 squad. They are led by senior middle blocker Josi Lima, who was named preseason all-Big 12 after earning all-league honors in her first three seasons.
Lima said she and her teammates were working hard in practice, which began last Monday, to ensure another successful season.
Along with Lima, the Jayhawks return seniors Paula Caten and Andi Rozum.
Bechard said more consistent play throughout the season would help them achieve their goal.
Sophomore opposite hitter/setter Emily Brown brings something extra to the Jayhawks this fall. She was one of only 14 women invited to train with the United States Junior National team this past summer.
Going deeper into the NCAA Tournament is the goal this season.
"Everybody is giving a great effort," Lima said. "I think the key for us now is to keep working on technical things that we need to adjust."
"Last year we started pretty fast and then had a little slide in the middle of the year," Bechard said. "Hopefully we can be steadier."
S KANSAS KANSAS
Replacing graduated libero Jill Dorsey will be a near-impossible task, but Juniors Jamie Mathewson and Dani Wittman will compete for the starting spot.

Josi Lima, then junior, spikes the ball. This season opens August 20 at 7 p.m. at the Horesji Family Athletics Center.
In addition, incoming freshman Liz Ingram will battle to fill the hole left by the departure of the school's all-time dies leader.
Bechard said the freshman class could have an immediate impact. Setter Katie Martincich was named Kansas' Gatorade Player of the Year after her senior season at Bishop Miege High School, in Shawnee. Blocker Savannah Noyes was an all-state performer in Nebraska.
Bechard said the value these newcomers would add to practice would be just as valuable as their performance in matches
"If you can have a side B that is extremely competitive every day against your side A, it's going to make things much better for you when it comes time to compete against someone else."
Kansas will scrimmage against an alumni team on Aug. 20. They officially kick off the season with the State Farm Jayhawk Classic, which begins Aug. 26 against Alabama.

Intramurals offer options
BY HEATHER RIFFEL
hrriffel@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Not every student is going to have the opportunity to represent the University of Kansas on an athletic team, but intramuraals provide a fun way for every student to show off his or her talents.
Intramurals provide muchneeded breaks in the busy lives of college students. They provide exercise to students who are looking to avoid the dreaded "freshman fifteen".
The team sports being offered this semester are flag football, sand volleyball, soccer, volleyball, and floor hockey.
There are many different intramural sports offered this fall semester, including team sports, team tournaments and individual and dual events.
The individual and dual events offered this semester are table tennis singles, racquetball singles, tennis singles, golf, bowling and eight ball pool. There will also be three team tournaments later in the semester: a dodgeball tournament, a homecoming three-on-three basketball tournament and a pre-holiday basketball tournament.
"The dodgeball tournament in October is a new event this semester that should be very popular with the students," said Kurt Schooley, assistant director of recreation services.
Schooley said tennis singles is changing from a one day tournament to a play-by-date tournament, which means that more people will be able to participate since they will not be required to be there on a specific day.

TRACK & FIELD
Moroccan runner wins gold medal
TOMMY BURKMAN
BY ANDREA ADELSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Associated press
Jaouad Gharib of Morocco displays his gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Helsinki, Finland, Saturday.
HELSINKI, Finland - Jaouad Gharib wanted to run an aggressive race going into the marathon at the world track and field championships Saturday.
Not even stomach pains altered his plans.
The Moroccan defended his world title Saturday, pulling away from the pack near the 19-mile mark to easily win in 2 hours, 10 minutes, 10 seconds. Gharib joined Abel Anton of Spain as the only men to win back-to-back world marathon titles. Anton accomplished the feat in Athens in 1997 and Seville in 1999.
"I was in fine form, even if I had a little bit of pain in my stomach," Gharib said. "I'm very happy to be champion for the second time."
Christopher Isegw of Tanzania was second in 2:10:21, and Tsuyoshi Ogata of Japan was third in 2:11:16.
The United States had a good showing, with Brian Sell topping the list. He was ninth in 2:13:27, while Clint Verran was 22nd. The United States might have had a better chance to medal with Olympic silver medalist Meb Keflezighi, but he ran the 10,000 meters here instead of the marathon.
Nonetheless, the U.S. finished fourth in
the World Marathon Cup for its highest finish since the standings started in 1999.
"Our performance was decent, but we got to keep our eye on the prize, and go forward," Sell said. "We want to get back to where things used to be in the 1980s. It's a step in the right direction."
The day belonged to Gharib, aches and all. Clutching his stomach throughout the race, Gharib stayed in the main pack but made his move relatively early. His competitors would not dare follow.
"The Moroccan was very fast so if I had stuck to him I would perhaps have not
reached the podium," Isegwe said.
Gharib knew it was a risky move, but was willing to go for it. He entered the Olympic Stadium alone to a standing ovation from the sparse crowd. Heading for the finish line, he had no idea whether he had an additional lap to go and wildly started pumping his fists once track officials said the race was over.
Gharib finished second in the London Marathon this year and has one more to go: this week he agreed to run in New York in November.
The 26.2-mile marathon started near Market Square in the port area of Helsinki under balmy 68 degree temperatures and partly cloudy skies. The hilly course followed a 6.2-mile loop around downtown and tree-lined residential areas. The runners went around the loop 3 1/2 times and ended inside the Olympic Stadium.
There were no disruptions to this marathon. With three miles left in the Olympic marathon last year, Vanderlei de Lima of Brazil was clinging to a shrinking lead when he was shoved into the crowd by a defrocked priest. De Lima got back into the race, but lost time and ended up with the bronze medal.
He took the Moroccan flag, and kissed it on the track before he started posing for photographers, showing no signs of fatigue.

participants in the overall program.
Nicole Walters, Shawnee sophomore could name only six of the at least 26 different club sports at the University.
Krone said the information was out there, but people had to pay attention.
"They never publicize their events, ever, unless the people on the teams do it themselves." she said.
The general opinion among many students was there was a lack of advertisements by club sports around campus.
However, while many may not know about club sports, participation is fairly high. Jason Krone, associate director of recreation services and director of club sports, said there were more than 900
"We provide them with opportunities to talk about their clubs whether it is at an info fair, during Hawk Week, or even putting up a table in the Recreation Center where they can have 3,000-5,000 people walk by it in just a day." Krona said of how he helps club leaders.
"This is their club and how they grow is up to them." he said.
Club sports are not only a way to meet people and a reason to take trips out of town. however.
"I think the obvious advantage is that members of the clubs get to continue participating in a sport that they love, whether through practicing only or competing on a regional or national level." Krone said.
It isn't just about playing games, though.
"Other advantages can include belonging to a group with like-interests that can help break down a large university into a small group in which they feel comfortable." Krone said.
There are also many different club sports to choose from, including cycling, fencing, hockey, lacrosse and even clubs as obscure as Capoeira — a Brazilian martial art.
Students can go to www.recreation. ku.edu, go to programs & activities, then sports clubs and finally clicking on current clubs to get involved.

Simien faces new challenges
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Wayne Simien is learning plenty about his new surroundings.
He knows most summer afternoons get rainy in Miami, so planning anything outdoors is risky. He's slowly getting to know his way around a bustling city, no small feat for someone who's Kansas-born and bred.
And the Miami Heat rookie also understands that, with the team committing more than $83 million this summer to power forwards Udonis Haslem and Antoine Walker, cracking the rotation could be difficult.
Still, Simien — who signed a two-year deal believed to be worth around $1.8 million on Friday — said he would embrace the challenge.
"I came into the situation knowing playing time was something that's going to have to be competed for," Simien said.
The 6-foot-9, 255-pound Simien, the 29th overall pick in this year's draft, has been in South Florida for about a week, working out and getting ready for camp. He also played on Miami's summer league team.
Heat coach Stan Van Gundy said Simien had the same sort of "over the top" maturity that Dwyane Wade entered the league with.
"I emerged from summer league feeling that I would have no trouble, no problem playing Wayne Simien," Van Gundy said. "And I think that's the first step for any player. ... Can a coach put
you in the game and feel OK about it?"
As a Kansas senior, Sinien led the Big 12 in scoring (20.3) and rebounding (11.0), and was a finalist for the Wooden and Naismith Awards. He averaged 15.0 points and 8.3 rebounds per game on 55.8 percent shooting in his college career, and left as Kansas' 12th all-time leading scorer (1,593).
"I was ecstatic come dram night just to hear my name called," Simien said. "And now, after playing in the summer league and getting to know some of the guys and being able to play under the coaching staff and seeing the great things that are going on here in this organization, I'm even more excited to put my name on the dotted line."

Avdeeva took advantage of
The University of Kansas tennis team battled the summer heat and participated in voluntary workouts and tournaments this summer to sharpen their games.
Team practices were limited to avoid violating NCAA rules
Only four players at a time were allowed in offseason workouts according to the rules. Any organized practice would violate these regulations. The team will have its first official practice September 7.
Workouts and tournaments provided opportunities for players to work on their individual games. Elizaveta Avdeeva, Obnisk, Russia, sophomore, stayed in Lawrence this summer to take classes and work on her game with Frank Polito, assistant coach.
the voluntary workouts to tweak the aspects of her game that she felt needed practice.
"Playing deep balls is my problem," Avdeeva said. "I worked on my backhand for that."
She also said she worked on her forehand to improve her groundstrokes and become a more effective baseline player. The Russia native played in three tournaments this summer, including doubles and singles tournaments. Avdeeva finished second in the singles portion of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Summer Circuit in Lawrence.
Some of Avdeeva's teammates also prepared for the upcoming season in Lawrence.
Christine Skoda, Edmonton Canada, senior, partook in voluntary workouts and tournaments.
"I worked on my doubles a lot, and my volleys," Skoda said. "I played in a lot of doubles tournams this summer."
Skoda finished first in two doubles tournaments.
Brittany Brown, junior, used the offseason to practice her serving. She said accuracy and strength were her major focal points.
"I worked on getting a higher percentage of my first serves in." Brown said. "I was double-faulting a lot last year. I haven't done that as much this summer. I also worked on getting my second serve in more."
Lauren Hommell, sopnomore, focused on her net game this summer. She practiced backhand volley drills.
Hommell played in two tournaments in Florida before she was sidelined to recover from having her wisdom teeth removed.
Players who spent the summer out of town will return to Lawrence before classes begin on August 18. Team members will continue voluntary workouts until after Labor day, when the season officially starts

New and talented
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWIPTERWRIER
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he felt his team could compete for the Big 12 North division title.
In order for that to happen, Mangino knows he will need big contributions from his newcomers, including junior college transfers and true freshmen.
Wide receiver Brian Murph, Jr. defensive linemen Wayne Wilder and Rodney Allen and linebacker Eric Washington headline the junior college transfers that will join the Ivahawks.
The success of the four players in their junior college careers could enable them to have a big impact on the team, this year.
"This is by far the most talented group of kids we've brought in here since I've been here," Mangino said. "Wayne Wilder and Rodney Allen are going to have an impact."
Mangino was not the only one that expected some of the
newcomers to contribute. Senior linebacker Banks Floodman was also impressed with the talent level on defense.
"They are definitely up for the challenge this year," Floodman said. "They want to play and they want to play now, so we are excited to see what they can do."
Wilder and Allen reunite this season after playing together for two years at Garden City Community College.
Wilder collected 55 tackles and four sacks at Garden City, last season. Allen had 62 tackles and had 10 sacks during the 2004 season.
Washington said he enjoyed playing behind senior linebackers Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Floodman in training camp practices.
"I'm just learning from the three seniors right now, following their lead," Washington said. "In practice, I just have to get in where I can and gain some reps."
True freshmen are still bat
ting for spots on the team, and may not be given the luxury of taking a redshirt in their first year. So far, Mangino has been impressed with the emergence of Russell Brorsen, who was recruited as a defensive end, but recently switched to tight end.
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier raised eyebrows during practice as a highly touted freshman quarterback. Mangino said Meier learned to become more comfortable with the offense at practice.
Mangino said Brorsen will compete for the back up job at tight end and could also compete with sophomore starter Derek Fine.
Mangino has not made any official decision on which freshmen will play and which will take a redshirt.
"We're still not certain about some guys who we might redshirt, depending on where they are on the depth chart," Mangino said.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. Nextel Cup champion Kurt Busch is hoping car owner Jack Roush will change his mind and release him with a year remaining on his contract.
Busch seeks dismissal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It's Jack's decision," Busch said Saturday at Watkins Glen International. "We'll see what happens."
Busch told Roush earlier this week that he had a deal to drive for Roger Penske in 2007 and asked to be released from his contract after this season.
Roush said no, then told Busch they'd have to find a way to work together for the rest of this season and all of the next.
"The thing I will give you today is that you shouldn't expect a release for 2006," Roush told him.
"You could speculate on that," he said. "For me, I'm happy wherever I go."
Given that, Busch was asked if he thought his departure after this season would be best for everyone.
He called 2006 a question mark but said he has a great opportunity to win for either car owner. Beyond that Busch would not comment on 2007.
"I've got 2005 to drive for this championship," he said. "We're in good position. We're fifth in the points. It's hard to go into the future."
"They know that it wasn't them. They know that it wasn't me," he said. "They know that it wasn't Roush Racing. They know that it's this business."
He called the team's chemistry great and said there is no misunderstanding among crew members about why he wanted to move to Penske.
But Busch said he's focused on winning another title or two before moving to Penske. He has called the Penske ride an "opportunity of a lifetime," and a challenge to prove he can win with a different team.
Roush already is faced with trying to fill one of his five cars for next season. He has signed Jamie McMurray to replace Mark Martin in 2007, but is leaning on Martin to delay by a year his retirement from fulltime Cup racing. Martin wants to move to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck series next season.
"That's not even on the radar screen," Ganassi said before the cars began practice for Sunday's Sirius Satellite Radio at the Glen. "His status has always been the same."
McMurray wants to leave Chip Ganassi Racing after 2005. Like Busch, he can't get out of the final year of his contract.
So, Busch can't go to Penske as a replacement for the retiring Rusty Wallace, and McMurray is staying put.
break the logjam? Ganassi and Roush certainly don't sound as if they will.
Will somebody give in and
Roush made that clear to Busch, saying he expected the driver to keep his commitment and that he was keeping commitments to his sponsors.
There was no surprise at the top of the speed chart. Defending race champion Tony Stewart, an overwhelming favorite to win for the fifth time in seven races, was much faster than anyone else.
Despite his displeasure over Roush's refusal. Busch said there would be no letdown in his level of intensity, whether it be practice, qualifying or racing. On the track, he posted the 16th-fastest time among 46 cars before rain chased them off the 2.45-mile road course.
After winning last Sunday in Indianapolis, Stewart will be trying for his third victory here and fifth overall on a road course.
He took his Chevrolet around the 11-turn layout at 122.052 mph, but had no explanation for why he was so fast other than to give credit to crew chief Greg Zpadellii and the team.
"Hey, you've got to remember that I just drive." Stewart said. "I get in the car and I drive. It's been literally that simple."
Road-racing specialist Scott Pruett was next at 120.447. Four-time Glen winner Martin went 120.441.

coaching staff then talked with members of the football program at Texas.
"I had a conversation with Mack Brown," Mangino said. "At the end of the day he is a young man who didn't have a spot for him at Texas but everyone was very positive about
him, and we feel good about giving him an opportunity here."
"What we have to gauge is can he get in there and play on game day, be a contributor and have an impact," Mangino said. "We are trying to add depth to our team so if we can give them a little break here and there so in the fourth quarter we will have fresh legs. He could be a factor in helping us have those fresh legs in the fourth quarter."

he was pleased that he had a solid group of linebackers to learn from at Kansas, such as seniors Nick Reid, Banks Floodman and Kevin Kane.
site *Rivals.com* ranks Duncan as the 21st best linebacker in the nation and a four-star recruit.
At first, Duncan was concerned that he was arriving late on campus and he might have difficulty learning the defensive system, but he said that it came naturally.
"It was rough the first couple of days, but after practices I caught on." Duncan said.
Duncan may take a redshirt this season. Mangino said a decision has not yet been made. He said due to the depth at the linebacker position, Duncan might not be needed this season.
"I love those linebackers," Duncan said.
"I feel like I am beginning to fit in. When they leave I'll be able to step right up. I am learning from them right now, I am taking everything in, let them coach me up. I just want to be as good or better than them."
Duncan has impressed the senior linebackers.
"He is going to be great," Reid said. "He needs to put a few more pounds on. He is real fast, he has great instincts, he can hit. He's going to be a good one."
Duncan weighs 210 pounds. He said he would like to reach 220 pounds.
Football Notes:
Punter Handling Kickoff Duties
Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker is expected to handle kickoff duties this season, replacing the graduated Johnny Beck. Sophomore Scott Webb is expected to handle extra point and field goal duties, however Mangino said that Tucker was also working on place kicking.
The offensive line is once again going through some changes. Junior David Ochoa will take over the center position from sophomore Todd Haselhorst. Haselhorst will move to the guard position.
Junior quarterback Adam Barmann is the front runner to be the team's starting quarterback, Mangino said. Senior Brian Luke continues to challenge Barmann for the starting job though. Senior Jason Swanson has dropped from the starting job consideration due to injuries, Mangino said.
New Center
Former defensive end Kansas John McCoy, who has been stationed in Iraq for the past year, is not expected to return to the team this season. Mangino exchanged e-mails with McCoy last week and said he thought McCoy might return at some point this fall.

Junior running back turns around
BY C.J. MOORE
cjmoore@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After last season, Jon Cornish realized that football in the United States was taken a little more seriously than in his native Canada
The realization may translate into more carries this season for the New Westminster, British Columbia junior running back.
Cornish was thought to be a regular in Kansas coach Mark Mangino's doghouse last year. Since then, he has climbed his way out and was impressive in training camp.
"I'm not sure how focused or into this he had been," Mangino said. "He realized that it's time for him to make a contribution or he may never see the field."
Mangino pointed to a meeting he had with Cornish after spring football that led to a new attitude.
"He said I realized that

you guys take American football pretty seriously." Mangino said. "So I said, well, I'm glad you caught on; better late than never."
on the team last season. He only ran the ball twice for five yards. He is ready to make a contribution this season, though.
Cornish is going to be a great back for us. He's quicker than I've ever seen him before and he knows the offense better than he ever has before."
Banks Floodman
He had a life-altering moment that changed his perspective. Last year, Cornish witnessed his family going through tough times. His mother developed thyroid cancer.
Cornish referred to another factor in his transformation. He admitted that he had immaturity issues when he arrived in Lawrence.
With the loss of John Randle.
last year's starting running back, Cornish has an opportunity to compete for the starting job. He will share the running back duties with senior running back Clark Green, who is the early favorite to start, and freshman Garv Green II, Garv
"After having seen them go through what they did, it just made me realize some of my problems aren't nearly as serious as theirs and it's really helped me mature." he said.
Cornish had minimal impact
Senior linebacker
Green took a redshirt during the 2004 season.
Clark Green is known for his power and Gary Green is known for his speed. Cornish has both the size, at six feet, 205 pounds, and the speed. Mangino described the junior tailback as explosive with good vision and the endurance of a
marathon runner
Cornish said he used his speed in the past to make defensive players miss tackles. Kansas defenders have already noticed.
"Cornish is going to be a great back for us," senior line-backer Banks Floodman said. "He's quicker than I've ever seen him before and he knows the offense better than he ever has before."
After the team experimented with Cornish as a linebacker in the spring, there is no doubt that his spot on the team is in the backfield. Kansas coaches have noticed his potential.
"I'm really fired up here about Jon Cornish," Mangino said.

Baylor Bears: 2004 record 3-8 (1-7 Big 12)
Top Players: Paul Mosley, running back, Willie Andrews, wide receiver/kick returner, Maurice Lane, safety
Key Games: Sept. 3 at Southern Methodist, Oct. 22 at Oklahoma, Nov. 5 vs. Texas
Outlook:
The Bears were the only team in the Big 12 South that did not go to a bowl game last year. This season's schedule includes road games at Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Missouri.

Oklahoma Sooners: 2004 record 12-1 (8-0)
Top Players: Adrian Peterson, running back, Dusty Dvoracek, defensive tackle, Travis Wilson, wide receiver
Key Games. Oct. 8 vs.. Texas.
Oct. 29 at Nebraska, Nov. 26 vs.
Oklahoma State
Outlook:
The Sooners are ranked in the top five in most preseason polls and with good reason. While the team lost talent, including former Heisman trophy winner Jason White, the Sooners return a Heisman hopeful in sophomore running back Adrian Peterson.
The toughest game on the schedule for Oklahoma will be its game against the Texas Longhorns in Dallas. If the Sooners win that game, it could mean back-to-back undefeated conference seasons.
Oklahoma State Cowboys:
2004 record 7-5 (4-4)
Top Players: D'Juan Woodswide receiver, Donovan Woodsquarterback, Vernon Grant-cornerback
Key Games: Oct. 8 vs. Missouri, Oct. 29 vs. Texas, Nov. 26 at Oklahoma
In order to break through in the Big 12 South, Oklahoma State will have to beat Texas and Oklahoma. The team has been able to be competitive against Oklahoma, but is 1-8 against Texas in Big 12 conference play.
Texas Longhorns: 2004 record 11-1 (7-1)
Top Players: Vince Young, quarterback, Rodrigue Wright, defensive tackle, Aaron Lewis, linebacker
Key games: Sept. 10 at Ohio State, Oct. 8 vs. Oklahoma, Nov. 25 at Texas A&M
Outlook:
Outlook:
It could be a special year in Austin for Longhorn fans. Texas boasts a legitimate Heisman trophy candidate in quarterback Vince Young and has one of the best defensive units in the country.
The tests for the Longhorns will be the games at Ohio State and against Oklahoma in Dallas. If Texas fails to win these games, Coach Mack Brown's job could be in jeopardy.
Texas A&M Aggies; 2004 record 7-5 (5-3)
Top Players: Reggie McNeal, quarterback, Courtney Lewis, running back, Jaxson Appel, safety
Key games: Oct. 8 at Colorado, Nov. 12 at Oklahoma, Nov. 25 vs. Texas
The Aggies will be led by senior quarterback Reggie McNeal and could find themselves playing in a New Year's Day bowl game.
Outlook:
The most difficult part of the season will come when Texas A&M finishes the season against Oklahoma and Texas.
Texas Tech Red Raiders:
2004 record 8-4 (5-3)
Top Players: Taurean Henderson, running back, Jarrett Hicks, wide receiver, Brock Stratton, linebacker
Key games: Oct. 8 at Nebraska, Oct. 22 at Texas, Nov. 5 vs. Texas A&M
Big 12 in senior running back Taurean Henderson and junior wide receiver Jarrett Hicks.
The Red Raiders return two of the most explosive players in the
Outlook:
The team will have to replace quarterback Sonny Cumbie, who led the nation in passing yards last season.
The Red Raiders have yet to settle in on a quarterback and will probably have a battle throughout training camp.
Big 12 North:
Colorado Buffaloes: 2004 record 8-5 (4-4)
Top Players: Joel Klatt, quarterback, Joe Klopfenstein, tight end, Lawrence Vickers, fullback
Key games: Oct. 1 at Oklahoma State, Nov. 5 vs. Missouri, Nov. 12 at Iowa State
Outlook:
Colorado is being picked by a lot of people to come out on top in the unpredictable Big 12 North. The Buffaloes boast a hard schedule this year, with nonconference games against rival Colorado State and a game at Miami.
Joel Klatt will lead a veteran team in his last season under center. With talent surrounding him, he could have a big final season.
Iowa State Cyclones: 2004 record 7-5 (4-4)
Top Players: Todd Blythe, wide receiver, Bret Meyer, quarterback, Stevie Hicks, running back
Key games: Oct. 1 at Nebraska, Oct. 15 at Missouri, Oct. 22 vs. Oklahoma State
Outlook:
Iowa State snuck up on teams last year and had a winning season. Teams will be more prepared for the Cyclones this season.
Coaches and fans at Iowa State are excited about quarterback Bret Meyer, who emerged last year as the team's top quarterback. Meyer is expected to have another big season.
Top Players: Scott Edmonds,
defensive end, Brandon Archer,
Kansas State Wildcats: 2004 record 4-7 (2-6)
linebacker, Derek Marso, defensive tackle
Key games: Oct. 8 vs. Kansas, Oct. 15 at Texas Tech, Nov. 19 vs. Missouri
Outlook:
It was a disastrous last season for the Wildcats, and the team will try to rebound in 2005. The defense should be solid this year, but there are some question marks on the offensive side of the ball.
Coach Bill Snyder has not had back-to-back losing seasons since the early '90s. It could happen again this season with the Wildcats having challenging games all over their schedule.
Missouri Tigers: 2004 record
5-6 (3-5)
Top Players: Brad Smith, quarterback, Sean Coffey, wide receiver, Jason Simpson, safety
Key games: Oct. 8 at Oklahoma State, Oct. 22 vs. Nebraska, Nov. 5 at Colorado
Outlook:
There is a sense of urgency in Columbia this year, as fifth-year coach Gary Pinkel is in a must-win situation to keep his job. The Tigers had high expectations last year, but fell short.
If Missouri gets off to a good start and gains confidence, it could have a good year.
Nebraska Cornhuskers: 2004 record 5-6 (3-5)
Top Players: Cory Ross, running back, Daniel Bullocks, safety, Matt Herian, tight end, Stewart Bradley, linebacker
Key games: Oct. 1 vs. Iowa State, Oct. 22 at Missouri, Nov. 25 at Colorado
Outlook:
Coach Bill Callahan enters his second year in Lincoln. He now has his own recruits, who are still getting comfortable with his West Coast Offense.
The Huskers have a huge hole to fill on defense, losing linebacker Barrett Ruud, who finished with school records for tackles in a career.
Senior safety Daniel Bullocks will lead the defense this season.

Herford makes transition

Wide receiver Marcus Herford catches a pass during practice Thursday on the practice fields behind Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Freshman moves from QB to WR
RYAN COLIAANNI

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Freshman wide receiver Marcus Herford darted up the field against junior cornerback Charles Gordon and suddenly stopped. Gordon stopped too, giving Herford the opportunity to take off again, and catch a pass that would have warranted a touchdown if it had not occurred in practice.
Not a small feat considering he was up against Gordon, who was a third team All-America selection last year.
Herford has impressed many of his teammates and coaches during training camp thus far, as he transitions from being a quarterback to being a wide receiver.
"Marcus is doing well. He is a young man that is very powerful. He is a good blocker on the perimeter," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "He is starting to learn the little nuances that are important to running pass routes and getting leverage on defenders."
Herford is learning those nuances through friendly competition with Gordon and other defensive backs.
"We do have a little rivalry going; it's all in fun. He is my teammate, it's all in getting me better and getting him better," Herford said.
Herford was originally recruited to be a quarterback for
the jayhawks and worked on the scout team as a quarterback last season, as he took a redshirt. Herford was highly touted out of high school as he was rated the 25th-best dual-threat quarterback in the nation by Rivals.com.
decided that he might be better used at the wide receiver position.
"He is a good, hard-working young guy," Mangino said. "We are hoping that he will be ready to make a major contribution, and he is certainly on that path."
When he began spring practices, after last season, he worked as a quarterback until Mangino
Herford is using his experience as a quarterback to help grasp the position better.
"At quarterback, I didn't see some of the things the receivers were talking about, but now with me being a receiver, I see openings and stuff like that," Herford said. "While I am running those routes, I know where to go, what moves to make to get open."
The DeSoto, Texas, native is using Gordon and fellow wide receiver, senior Mark Simmons, to improve as well.
"If I run a route bad, they are going to let me know it. They are doing a real good job to help me perfect my routes," Herford said.
Gordon feels that sometimes Herford may think too much when he is on the field.
"We are trying to get him to use that speed to his advantage," Gordon said. "Sometimes he thinks a lot in his routes. We need to get him to not think so much and just run the routes."
Herford is expected to bolster a wide receiving corps that is expected to be led by Simmons and junior college transfer Brian Murph, Jr. His size and speed are what teammates are raving about.
Simmons believed that the addition of Herford as a wide receiver may give the Jayhawks an advantage when throwing the ball deep downfield this season.
"He was a quarterback so he understands how to read defenses," Simmons said. "Everyone we have at wide out can stretch the defense."
"He is a bigger receiver, a more physical receiver; He's got some speed," Gordon said.

Clarett injures groin will miss opener
BY KRISTIE RIEKEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON - Maurice Clarett hasn't played in a game in more than 2 1/2 years.
- Edited by Jayme Wiley
He'll have to wait at least another week to make his NFL debut.
The former Ohio State star and third-round draft pick has a sore groin and will miss the Denver Broncos preseason opener on Saturday against the Houston Texans. "The MRI was negative," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "It's nothing serious. It's not to torn. He is getting rehab right now, working out a couple of times a day in the weight room, getting treatment about four times a day. Hopefully when we get back, he will be ready to go."
While Clarett, who did not accompany the team to Houston, awaits his first NFL game, Jerry Rice will make his Broncos debut in hopes of making the team for his 21st season.
Rice, who sat out practice Wednesday morning with a sore heel, participated in the remainder of the team's workouts in Houston. He is listed as second-string at one of the receiver positions behind Ashley Lelie.
The Texans will get a first look at their revamped defense, including first-round draft pick Travis Johnson. Coach Dom Capers moved Kailee Wong from outside to inside linebacker in his 3-4 defense and picked up speedy free agent Morlon Greenwood to play middle linebacker in an attempt to generate a pass rush.
They got Phillip Buchanon from Oakland in the offseason, and he'll join last year's runner-up
for defensive rookie of the year,
Dunta Robinson, at cornerback
Johnson, a defensive tackle who missed one day of training camp before signing, said he's up to speed and ready to play his first game. As for what will be in his head when he lines up for his first play, Johnson answered quickly.
Houston's new defense will be tested by the Broncos' high-powered offense. Denver was fifth in the league in average total yards with 395.8 yards per game, and quarterback Jake Plummer threw for a Broncos single-season record of 4,089 yards.
"Violence," he said with a laugh. "It's always controlled violence. I'm going to go out there and work hard."
Plummer said practicing with Houston all week gave his offense a good chance to get reacquainted with the 3-4.
Even without Clarett, the Broncos have a multitude of good running backs led by Mike Anderson. Second-stringer Tatum Bell had 75 carries for 396 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie and could push for the starting job.
Both coaches said they expect to play their starters for about 10 plays and then use the remainder of the game to evaluate players vying for roster spots.
"We've got a lot of guys fighting for positions and backup positions," Shanahan said. "That's what preseason is all about. To see how they operate in game situations and hopefully they play well."
"These games you'd like to go out, you'd like to see your team be efficient in all three areas," Capers said.

Chiefs stumble in opener
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper evades Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Benny Sapp as he drops back for a pass during the first quarter of a preseason game in Minneapolis, Friday. The Vikings won, 27-16.
MINNEAPOLIS — Using his fast feet to maneuver around the field, Daunte Culpepper had no trouble finding the right receiver during a sharp opening possession.
That's how Minnesota is going to have to move the ball without Randy Moss.
Culpepper opened the preseason by guiding an efficient 65-yard touchdown drive, leading the Vikings to a 27-16 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night.
Completing his first five passes, each to a different receiver, Culpepper found new No. 1 target Nate Burleson for a 33-yard
score to cap a drive that lasted only 3 minutes, 8 seconds. Culpepper finished 5-for-6 for 84 yards.
"Going back to my college days, I've always liked to do that," said Culpepper, who lost the mercurial Moss in an offseason trade to Oakland. "I always throw the ball to different guys. It makes everybody more effective. It makes defenses cover everybody."
Kansas City's Priest Holmes, whose damaged right knee cost him eight games last season, played only seven snaps. He looked sharp, rushing four times for 42 yards.
Backup Larry Johnson, who will share more of the load this year, carried eight times for 37 yards.
"I followed my reads pretty good, and we have a pretty good offensive line," Holmes said, estimating his health at 75 to 80 percent.
"I wouldn't give us too high a grade, but I feel like we had some rhythm."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 11B
Marc Boerigter, returning from a knee injury that kept him out all of last season, caught two passes for 28 yards.
Fourth-string quarterback James Killian leaped into the end zone to finish a 3-yard run with
29 seconds left, giving the Chiefs their first touchdown.
Kansas City, like Minnesota,
made a significant attempt to
upgrade a lagging defense during
the offseason.
Though two of the newcomers — linebacker Kendrell Bell and defensive end Carlos Hall
— missed this game because of injuries, the first-stringers played into the second quarter and gave up two TDs.
Most importantly, both teams emerged without any new injuries.
"There were some encouraging things, and we'll just be able to build on that." Tice said.
A TEXAN'S TAKE
Players need school not pro-ball dollars
---
ERIC SORRENTINO esorrentino@kansan.com
"It's a very personal and very important thing. It's a family motto. Are you ready Jerry? I want to make sure you're ready, brother. Here it is: Show me the money," Cuba Gooding, Jr. said in "Jerry Maguire."
The mindset of present-day sports players, particularly in the NBA, is skewed that way.
Players today are undermining the importance of college by skipping it for NBA dollars. They should accept these institutions and their scholarships. Athletes who skip college have talent that could take them to any college in the United States.
However, their mindset is nonexistent. They need college.
Look no further than a basketball-rich school like ours. KU standouts, such as Danny Manning, Raef LaFrentz, Jacque Vaughn, Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Wayne Simien, Keith Langford and Aaron Miles played basketball here for four years. Paul Pierce and Drew Gooden left early, but even these players staved three years.
The fight that broke out between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons last season was the biggest embarrassment in the history of sports. Two of the primary instigators, Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal, didn't attend college.
These athletes should marvel at the possibility of playing in a Duke-North Carolina game. These athletes should embrace the opportunity to play at a basketball-rich school, where passion is the game, not the check.
That's much better than what's happening now. In the past five years 20 high school players
were taken in the first round of the NBA draft. In the 2001 NBA draft, three of the first four picks were high school players.
These athletes should consider the benefits of going to college instead of directly to the NBA. College offers invaluable experience that people of any group can take with them the rest of their lives. Plus, what if basketball is not these players' calling? A college degree has become a requirement for just about any job - outside the NBA.
Danny Manning helped the Jayhawks win the national title in 1988. The Los Angeles Clippers drafted him with the first pick in the 1988 NBA draft. Manning was selected first because of his college accomplishments, not his high school feats.
Not every high school player is LeBron James. Not every high school player has immediate impact. Kobe Bryant didn't.
NBA Commissioner David Stern attempted to improve the problem this summer. He installed a minimum age of 19 to enter the NBA as part of a collective bargaining agreement.
But players should not be forced to go to college; they should want to go. The age limit will only make recruiting tougher for NCAA coaches. How do they know that their star freshman won't head straight for the pros after his first year?
There was a similar scare with departed guard J.R. Giddens after a successful freshman year. There were draft rumors in Lawrence during the offseason. Would that have been the right decision?
So instead of rushing your lives and showing you the money, come to a place like the University of Kansas — it won't bite.
You make the call.

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Marija Zinic will arrive on campus this week and try to adjust to the college life. However, Zinic's adjustment will be different than that of most freshmen.
She's never set foot in the United States.
This fall Zinic, a forward, and fellow Serbian Ivana Catic, a guard, will help provide much-needed depth to the women's basketball team.
"It's a difficult transition for any freshman," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "The fact that they have known each other for years is a good thing."

second year as coach after leaving Virginia Tech in 2004.
Last year's team finished 12- 16 and placed eighth in the Big 12 — the Jayhawks' best finish in five seasons.
This year's team will look different than last year's, with six newcomers joining six returnees.
Mosley was named the 2005 Junior College Player of the Year, and was invited to the USA Basketball National Team Trials this summer.

"The returning kids are realizing they're going to have to get better to play," Henrickson said.
The new faces include five freshmen and Shaquina "Shaq" Mosley, a junior college transfer from Central Arizona College.
BUSINESS TERMINALS
Henrickson said last year's team lacked depth, which hurt them late in the season.
"We had three or four kids that would play 35 minutes a night, and that's just too much in this league." Henrickson said.
The Big 12 is annually one of the toughest conferences in women's basketball.
Fans looking to see the team will enjoy the nonconference schedule. The Jayhawks only leave Lawrence once, to play in the University of New Orleans Lady Privateer Tournament, in New Orleans.

Senior guard Erica Hallman will have to readjust to a position, as well. She played point guard last year, but will move back to the wing — where she played as a sophomore — once freshman guard Sophronia Sallard is ready to take over the point.
Including exhibitions, the team will play 19 home games.
Henrickson viewed that as a positive, and thought it would give her young players a chance to get more experience in game situations.
The team's biggest challenge will be finding a replacement for outgoing senior Aquanita Burras, who averaged 10.1 points per game in addition to her defensive presence.
"When you look at your nonconference schedule, you want some games that you feel like you can win, but also some
Sallard, a 5-10 guard from Syracuse, N.Y., was named a top-25 player by recruiting services.
The team is not allowed to practice until Late Night in the Phog, on Oct. 14, but the players have been working out and playing pickup games together during the offseason.
Henrickson said she would place emphasis on offense this year, and on training the players to not just be shooters, but play-makers as well.
games where you are going to have to play hard to have a chance," Henrickson said. "I think we have a great mix of both."
Four Jayhawks are on the preseason award watch list. College transfer Shaquina Mosley, junior guard, will be up for Newcomer of the Year, freshman guard Sophronia Sallard is on the Freshman of the Year watch list, and returning players Crystal Kemp, senior forward, and Erica Hallman, senior guard, are candidates for All-Conference honors.
Junior Alicia Rhymes left the team in the offseason with a bad back. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said Rhymes will remain on scholarship and stay involved with the team, but doctors advised her against playing.
Henrickson knows the Jayhawks' success this year will be dependent on the performance of the newcomers, but is still willing to set high goals.
"I don't think it would be farfetched to try to reach the post-season," she said. "I think there were just too many nights where we just weren't ready."
Everyone stayed
All returning players stayed in Lawrence this summer for at least one session of summer school. Hallman played league ball in her home state of Kentucky.
She'll have one month of practice to correct before the Nov. 6 exhibition opener against Pittsburg State.

women's basketball program As a result, scholarships this year will be reduced from 15 to 13. The change will not affect any of the players on the team.
Rhymes out with injury
"It's an obligation and a responsibility we have," Henrickson said, "I think the most encouraging thing is it shows the commitment we have to compliance and to doing things the right way."

. Using men's team as an advantage
Speaking at the Edwards Campus last Thursday night, Henrickson told supporters she was proud to use the success of the men's team to her advantage.
"If that's what a recruit wants to talk about, then what's what we will talk about," she said. Henrickson added that the national recognition helps in scheduling good opponents.
Smith ioins team
Joining the team as a walk on this year will be the freshman guard Katie Smith. The Omaha, Neb., native followed high school teammate Jen Orgas to Kansas.

Sports offer humorous surprises
Funny how things never work out the way they were planned.
Almost as if one person was working full-time to counteract every prediction the other person made.
Most of last year, and a good part of this summer, were full of predictions-gone-wrong and outcomes-hard-to-believe.
In case you missed it, Palmeiro just returned from a 10-game vacation, levied for testing positive for steroids.
Let's review.
Funny.
Under oath and waving fingers, Baltimore Orioles first baseman, and potential half-of-famer, Rafael Palmeiro told Congress and the rest of America that he never took steroids.
Already under scrutiny, Palmeiro's future status in the hall
is even more questioned, despite being one of four in the elite 500-homers and 3,000-hits club. He may face perjury charges to accompany his suspension.
Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams returned to his team after deciding that football was a higher priority than marijuana.
His teammates are having difficulty warming up to him since his return. He is also supposedly practicing as the Dolphins' fourth-string running back, even though he sees the ball slightly more than the typical fourth-stringer.
ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
Evidently, Kansas wanted a piece of that screw-with-people' heads action as well.
Funnv.
Earning a trip to its first bowl game under coach Mark Mangino in 2003, Kansas football looked to have improved
immensely for the 2004 season.
Funny.
Although the Jayhawks started a vast majority of the games looking like the team of new, they disappointed us all by following a bowl game season with a 4-7 campaign in 2004.
Adding to the humor was former running back John Randle. The All-Big 12 honorable mention rushed for 540 yards and six touchdowns last year.
He also urinated in public and picked up a battery charge to go with it.
To top off this salute to a disappointing 2004 is Kansas basketball, starring departed junior guard J.R. Giddens.
Loaded with seniors, talent and heart, the 2004-2005 basketball season was supposed to exceed the performance of every one before it. A team with an ability to win, unrivaled by those before it. The season began exactly that way — on a tear. 20-0 in the first month and a half.
Funnv.
How fast that feeling of success and superiority can leave you. Kansas finished the year on a 3-7 free-fall, losing to Bucknell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Oh, but the surprises kept coming.
Three-point specialist and drama creator, Giddens not only caused confusion with a sub-par sophomore season, but added to this unbelievable list when he punched his own ticket off the basketball team.
The fight outside the Moon Bar was not a surprise. Dissepecting tradition at the university he played for was.
The page turns and fall 2005 is upon us. Surprises are not always negative, and often lead to reform and improvement. More good than bad occurred last year in the world of Jayhawk sports, but it's the jaw-droppers that stick with us.
Maybe the Jayhawks got it all out of their systems last year. Maybe this crazy world of athletics will straighten up, follow predictions and quit confusing us.
Funny. I just can't believe that.

NFL BRIEF KC man defrauds several Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A suburban Kansas City man was charged with using a securities fraud scheme to bilk investors — including former Kansas City Chiefs players Dan Saleaumua, Deron Cherry and Tracy Simien — out of more than $900,000 over a 10-year period.
A state grand jury issued a 19-count indictment against Kurt J. Holdeman in June. The charges were announced Friday.
Holdeman, 45, of Raymore,
appeared in Jackson County
Circuit Court last week and is
free on $20,000 bond.
Prosecutors alleged in court records that Holdeman lied to investors in his company, Mesa Data Services, falsely claiming that the company was about to be purchased by electronics retailer Best Buy Co.

Players tour Brazil; 3 visit home during exotic summer trip
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
A trip to Brazil this summer for the Kansas volleyball team, turned out to be much more than your average vacation.
three Jayhawks, it was a chance to go home.
The team was in the South American country for eight days this summer. During stops in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the Jayhawks played Brazilian club teams, which gave them a chance to hone their skills on the court against foreign competition.
For the players and coaches, however, the experience was about more than just volleyball. It was a chance for most of them to see another culture and another way of life. For
"Our parents can never come to our games here, and there they could watch," said Paula Caten, senior outside hitter from Canarana, Brazil. "Our teammates could see our families' reactions too and see how they feel about being able to watch us.
Caten, along with Jana Corea, junior outside hitter from Macapa, Brazil and Josi Lima, senior middle blocker from Sao Paulo, Brazil, are all alumni of Pinheiros Club of Sao Paulo. When Kansas played against the trio's former team, it presented the rest of the players with an opportunity to see where their style of play originated.
For Andi Rozum, senior setter, the game helped her and her American teammates discover where their Brazilian teammates' personalities were shaped.
"It helped us understand where Josi, Jenna, and Paula come from," Rozum said. "It was important for our team chemistry.
Correa agreed.
"Our teammates got to know our culture better," Correa said. "Since the trip, they understand us better. The team got closer."
Being good teammates became something that the team could experience through their daily activities,rather than having it forced upon them by coaches.
Bechard said the most important times were not those
"We always talk about how we need to be good teammates," Correa said. "But when we were there, it wasn't just talking, it was happening."
Team chemistry is a common theme among the squad. If there is one thing that they can take from the trip, the team members said it is the time spent together and the bonds that were formed with one another.
"We got to know each other a little better," coach Ray Bechard said. "Our players from the United States were taken out of their comfort zone and placed in a different environment, a different culture."
in competition,but when the team could be a family.
"The bonding took place more off the court than on the court." Bechard said.
"The players gathered a new appreciation, not only for the culture in Brazil for our American players, but I think the players from Brazil really respected how the Americans went down there with an open mind and really asked questions and learned."
Emily Brown, sophomore opposite hitter, said she enjoyed the exposure to Brazilian culture as well. She also said the language issues they encountered brought the team closer to each other.
"We were the only ones speaking English, so we were
forced to stay together, which was not a problem for anyone," Brown said. "The more time we spend together the better."
The development of good relationships among the Jayhawks is an important part of the big picture. The goal remains to compete for a conference championship this season, something that is not lost on the players and coaches.
Correa said the experience would have a huge impact on the team's performance this season.
"After this trip, everything is much better," Correa said. "We are a better team now."
"I think it brings us a little ahead of where we might normally be at this point," Bechard said. "I'm excited about that."

Union hung out to dry
Senate does not agree with choice
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
University of Kansas administration decided students will not be drinking beer at the Kansas Union any time soon.
The Office of Student Success rejected a proposal Friday by the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation Board to serve beer in the union. A petition Student Senate passed last February spearheaded that proposal.
Jason Boots, University Senate Executive Committee chairman, who worked on the petition and on the Memorial Corporations Board, said he was disappointed the proposal was denied.
"It would have been a great opportunity for the University to show students how to drink responsibly." Boots, Plainville, Texas senior, said.
Boots said he understood that the University, and not Student Senate, would be held accountable for any problems involving students and alcohol that occurred at the union, and therefore understood why the University was leery of selling alcohol.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said her office was concerned that selling alcohol in a place that allows
"I had hoped we could make it work, but the risks were too high," Roney said.
minors might cause the University to accidentally serve underage drinkers.
The petition to investigate selling alcohol in the union passed through Senate in February. It said the University should look into selling 3.2 percent alcohol-content beer on campus to teach students to use alcohol responsibly. The petition noted that other Kansas Board of Regents institutions serve 3.2 beer, and that the Kansas Union sold beer until 1997.
The union quit selling beer after an off-campus car accident involving two KU students. The union was not at fault for the accident, but stopped its beer sales as a result.
Kansas State University sells 3.2 beer at the bowling alley of its student union, said Terry Eddy, Kansas State Student Union recreation manager.
No senators objected to the petition, said Ray Wittlinger, Senate executive secretary and Olathe sophomore.
The petition went from Student Senate to a committee of students, faculty and union administrators to be developed into a proposal, said David Mucci, director of Memorial Unions.
aimed to develop a proposal that showed the Kansas Union could implement alcohol sales responsibly if given the chance.
Mucci said the committee
The KU Memorial Corporation Board approved the proposal on May 7. The proposal included the sale of 3.2 beer in Jaybowl and in Milton's Coffee Shop from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Alcohol consumption would be allowed only on the first floor of the Kansas Union in the Hawk's Nest and the bowling alley.
Mucci said the proposal allowed the area where alcohol would be served to be open to minors as a way to help downplay the use of alcohol.
Mucci said alcohol shouldn't be a necessity for students, but students shouldn't be unable to have a beer, either.
The Office of Student Success, who nixed the plan, disagreed.
Creating a situation where minors could be in the same place as legal drinkers could lead to underage drinking, Roney said.
Boots said although everyone seemed to like the proposal, he wasn't too surprised the University opted out of selling alcohol on campus. It probably didn't want to get in trouble. Boots said.
"Law, lawyers and suing seem to get in the way of these things," Boots said.

Students' reactions to beer ban differ

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Dan Ahl leaned back in his chair and laughed, watching his co-worker roll a bowling ball down the lane to smash a few more pins.
It was a slow night at Jaybowl.
the bowling alley in the Kansas Union. There were no customers, and the two workers had resorted to bowling to make the time pass,
"Beer could have attracted lots of customers, especially students," said Ahl, Albany, N.Y. senior.
University of Kansas administrators announced Aug. 12 that all plans for alcohol sales in the Kansas Union were off.
The plan, which was supported by students and the union, would have allowed 3.2 beer sales in Jaybowl, as well as the Hawk's Nest. Administrators cited a potential threat of underage drinking as a reason for the
cancellation of sales.
Keyarash Jahanian, Kansas City, Kan. junior, agrees that alcohol sales in the union would have been a bad idea.
Jahanan works as the Hawk Nights coordinator for Student Union Activities. His job is to organize events that are alternatives to alcohol use. The success
of his events depends on whether beer is allowed in the union
"Alcohol totally conflicts with what I want to do and my committee's mission and motto," Jahanian said.
Joy Hsu, Chino Hills, Calif. graduate student said off-campus businesses profit plenty of underage drinkers.
Some students on campus do not see the potential problem with underage drinking, and do not see it as the issue at hand.
Sarah Bahmaie, Overland Park senior, said prohibiting alcohol sales at the union would not prevent underage drinking.

KU PARKING TICKETS
People may want to start thinking more carefully before parking illegally on campus.
Fiscal Year Appeals Dismissed Upheld Dismissal Rate (July 1 to June 30)
Donna Hultine, director of KU Parking, said the implementation of the new fee will deter students from filing frivolous appeals.
As of Aug. 1, the KU Parking Department will assess a $5 fee to anyone appealing a ticket. If the appeal is granted, the additional $5 fee is dismissed.
- "Some people appeal to relieve holds or buy time." Hultine said.

Hultine estimated that the amount of appeals denied this year will bring in around $3,000 from the new fee.
de Vries said she thought the increase in appeals was due in part to the availability of appeal forms online, making it more convenient for students to file an appeal.

Bookstore managers complain about change
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Area bookstore managers are upset with the KU Bookstores about its new sale guidelines of course pack materials.
Bill Muggy, Jayhawk Bookstore owner, said that starting this semester, course pack materials will only be available through the KU Bookstores at one selling price — the same price an individual student would pay, thus possibly eliminating a profit margin for other bookstores that buy the materials.
Course pack materials are anything not published by a major publisher, such as class notes, online assignments, lab manuals or even an entire textbook the instructor put together. Muggy said.
Before the change, there were two ways his store obtained course pack materials, Muggy said. Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, would place an order through KU Printing Services for as many copies as it thought it could sell. The second option allowed Jayhawk Bookstore to work directly with the departments that created the materials and pay them whatever they needed to recoup their costs.
The alternative to buying the materials at full price is that if the instructor drops off materials at the KU Bookstores, Jayhawk Bookstore would be granted a copy of whatever those materials were, Muggy said. Then, the KU Bookstores would charge for labor and copying.

Vandalism continues
CRIME

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Tau Kappa Epsilon receives another strike on its letters
For the second time in a little over two months, the sign at Tau Kappa Epsilon, 1111 W. 11th St., bearing the fraternity's greek letters, was damaged early Sunday morning. Specific details on the extent and nature of the damage were not available.
Police found a broken golf club at the crime scene, Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said.
It was too early to tell how much it would cost to repair the damaged, $4,300 sign, said Aaron Payne, Garden City sophomore and scholarship chairman for the fraternity. The damaged sign replaced the fraternity's original sign, which was destroyed in June.
Tau Kappa Epsilon's insurance company will cover the cost of the repair, said Alex Plassmeyer, Stilwell junior and president of the fraternity.
versity Daily Kansan, the original sign was installed June 1, 2005, and the next morning was partly knocked off its stone base, which was spray-painted with the Greek letters of Phi Kappa Theta. Members of the now-disbanded Phi Kappa Theta fraternity previously occupied the house. Police have not identified any suspects, Ward said.
According to an article in The Uni-
The recent damage could have been random and not caused by former members of Phi Kappa Theta, Payne said.
Phi Kappa Theta was expelled from campus after police confiscated 16 kegs from an unsanctioned party held Feb. 19, 2005, the article said.
"We don't want to come out in the paper and say it was them," Payne said. "We don't want to burn any bridges."
On May 13, 2005, two other incidents occurred at 1111 W. 11th St. involving former members of Phi Kappa Theta. Police arrested a 22-year-old member for inflicting criminal damage that occurred between 2:30 and 2:59
a. m. and another 22-year-old former member for criminal trespassing that occurred between 3:30 and 3:55 a.m.
According to another article in the Kansan, vandalism that occurred that night included broken ceiling tiles and light fixtures. Matt Moreno, former president of Phi Kappa Theta, had no comment.
When asked if he knew whether a former member of the fraternity committed the crime, Mark Monika, St. Louis junior and former member of the fraternity, said no and that he didn't think the incident would damage the relationship between the former fraternity and Tau Kappa Epsilon.
"Sure it could have been someone in our house, sure it could damage our relationship with TKE," Monika said. "But it doesn't matter because we're not a fraternity anymore."
Payne said police told him they would remain vigilant at night.

Sedwick County Kansas Sheriff's Detective Thomas E. Lee describes yesterday how BTK serial killer Dennis Rader killed Marine Hedge, one of his 10 victims. Lee testified during the sentencing phase of Radar's murder trial.
Sentencing unveils horrific details
BY MATT SEDENSKY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHTITA — As one of Dennis Rader's victims lay dying, tied up and with a plastic bag over the little boy's head, the killer pulled up a chair.
The show had begun.
Bo Rader/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Prosecutors pushing to ensure Rader stays behind bars for the rest of his life portrayed the confessed BTK Strangler on Wednesday as a man driven to take the lead role in fantasies of torturing his victims and a monster eager to have a front-row seat to their grisly final moments.
There was little doubt Rader's sentence would be stiff, but prosecutors want him to be handed a term of at least 175 years without a chance of parole. So they told, in detail, of his crimes.
Detectives testified to the horrific findings at the crime scenes and the unremorseful words of the defendant after his arrest. They looked on as prosecutors showed graphic photographs of victims' bound and tortured bodies. And they outlined Rader's meticulous planning, the way he kept track of his murders and the way he relived them through his souvenirs.
"He doesn't have a heart," said Jeff Davis, son of Dolores Davis, one of Rader's victims. "He doesn't have a soul."
The testimony from those involved in the case gave a glimpse into Rader's world of fantasy.
crimes — projects, he likes to call them — kept coming from the stand.
"It's kind of like in the movies," Rader told police, according to the testimony of one Wichita detective, Timothy Relph. "The boogie man has got you, you ain't going to get out of it. It's all over."
How he dreamed of having a torture chamber, how he recounted his crimes with glee.
All of it seemed to have little effect on Rader, who sat stoic through most of the proceedings, taking notes on a legal pad at times, sipping water at others. He was not handcuffed; he was neatly dressed in a jacket and tie.
The horrifying details of Rader's
And they described the killer's Jekyll-and-Hyde attributes.
He told detectives he gave toys to children locked in a bathroom, and a glass of water to their young mother who he would kill.
For the families of victims, the testimony was not easy to hear.
Carmen Otero, whose parents and two siblings were Rader's first victims
in 1974, clutched an afghan in the courtroom and nervously tapped her foot on the floor through much of the testimony. She was just 13 when she used a fingernail clipper to try to cut the gag off her mother's face.
Such emotion undoubtedly played out throughout the day, in the courtroom and out.
The proceedings, set to continue today, mark the beginning of the end of a very long, disturbing chapter in this city's history.
The 60-year-old Rader — married until recently and a father of two - first killed in 1974, though the murders continued until 1991. It wasn't until February that authorities zeroed in on the church congregation president and Boy Scout leader. He pleaded guilty in June to the murders.
Rader's attorneys sat silent through most of the day, declining to cross-examine those who testified and rarely entering an objection.

Family and friends mourn loss of athlete, academic
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
It's the end of summer and time to cut the corn. So many years ago, when Matt Yost was a toddler, he used to "farm the carpet" of his house near Moundridge using toys as heavy equipment with his older brother. Grant
After finishing a real day's work
in the field this week,
Grant's phone rang,
and he once more recounted
memories of his younger brother,
this time to a
reporter. Grant
couldn't help but
remember those
Yost
first years, playing in the living room and making tractor sounds with Matt.
Today, Matt, 18, would have attended his first class at the University of Kansas, where he was planning to study architecture. Instead, his life was cut short in late July. After a struggle with depression, the young man known for his smile committed suicide.
Grant, a Kansas State junior, seemed used to talking about Matt's life and death by now, and his words flowed evenly and coolly into the phone. Earlier this summer, when life was normal, Grant accompanied his brother to KU orientation, giving him a tip or two about college life.
Now Grant has to rely on the memories he and his family share of Matt, the youngest of three children. Grant remembered him as both an outstanding athlete and a strong academic student who scored a 32 on his ACT test and was in National Honor Society.
SUICIDE PREVENTION TIPS
MattYost's family would like to raise awareness of suicide signs and prevention. Counseling and Psychological Services offers consultation in the second floor of Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Some tips from CAPS for dealing with someone who may be suicidal:
Matt was a gifted running back on the football team, averaging 10.7 yards per carry his senior year at Moundridge High School. At the funeral, Moundridge football coach Brad Hollinger spoke of the selflessness of the person called "Toast" by his teammates.
- Take your friend's pain seriously.
In the life history handed out at Matt's funeral July 29, his older sister, Janette Crawford, wrote: "We'll never know exactly why Matt ended his life, and we'll ask questions until we leave this world. But we know God is bigger and more powerful than death, and bigger and more powerful than depression and other diseases of the mind. God knows the truth, and the heart."
Keep in touch and be interested.
◆ If your friend's talk frightens you, say so.
CAMPUS
Offer positive actions, alternatives and establish hope for the future.
"Matt was probably a better back for us without the football than when he had the football," Hollinger said, according to a transcript. "Matt carried out ball-fakes that would win him an academy award."

Matt would never put himself before his team, even though he was a star.
"When we would watch game film, any mention of his athleticism, big play or stats would just bring out that smile," Hollinger said. "You know the smile, along with that curly mop of his that could brighten any room that he walked into."
Kyle Neufeld, a classmate of Matt's since they started school and a football teammate, remembered a strange habit he had.
"A really funny thing is during football practice every day he'd punt the ball to himself during breaks," he said, giving a little chuckle as he pictured it. "He'd punt the ball straight up and catch it."
Cassondra Huxman, another classmate, remembered both Matt's humility and his famous blazing speed in gym class when they were young.
"You had to look out for him, because if you didn't keep an eye on him, he'd be gone, flying across the gym," she said.
Grant spoke of the work Matt put into his success in athletics. Matt excelled in track in addition to football, competing in the 800 meters at the Kansas state meet as a junior. Matt thought a healthy diet
was important to his success, so he became a vegetarian. Grant said.
Matt's father, John Yost, said Matt had strong opinions on many subjects and was deeply concerned about political issues.
"He was well-read," he said. "If things didn't work out, whether it be global warming or whatever, he could see the fallacy in the discussion points. He was good at really looking at things and determining what's really going on."
Matt transferred to Rocky Ford High School in Rocky Ford, Colo., midway through his senior year, where he stayed with family and graduated in May. Crawford wrote in his life history that at the end of his life "Matt became a different person than the sweet, smiling Matt we used to know."
Together, the Yost family — Grant, Janette, John and his mother, Carol — tried to convey who Matt was through written remembrances and interviews. Stories such as how much he cared for their cat Truman, and the time he stopped at every historical landmark off Highway 50 when driving his siblings back from a Colorado trip at age 16. Just the things that come to mind. Snapshots, not one of them telling the complete story of a life cut short. There are so many happy memories.

Students omitted from honor roll
The names of 77 School of Engineering students were mistakenly left off the spring honor roll.
The error was due to an oversight in the Registrar's office.
Ann Phillips, director of academic servers, said the registrar's office was using a new system to enter names onto the honor roll, which may have caused the omission.
The names of those students left off the honor roll are listed at http://www news.ku.edu/2005/August/ Aug15/directory.html.

Fraternity and sorority share home, chores
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The women of Alpha Gamma Delta have taken over the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house, 1301 West Campus Road, for recruitment this week while their house undergoes construction.
With so many people in the house and restrictions for women during recruitment week, the situation has created a different experience for the men of the fraternity.
The women started using the fraternity house Aug. 7 and will leave tomorrow.
"It's been a little noisy and pretty chaotic with everybody
moving in and all the commotion around the house," Bryson Stamm, Sigma Alpha Epsilon president, said.
Women involved in recruitment week are told not to socialize with men.
To maintain the tradition, the sorority has taken precautions to prevent the men from interacting with the women.
They have blocked off certain areas of the house and are using sheets as barriers to keep the men separated from the freshman women. Stamm said.
The women are using the first floor, basement and kitchen of the fraternity.
Alpha Gamma Delta approached the men of the fraternity to use their house for
two weeks while the women work on the recruitment process.
Debbie Pitts, chapter adviser, said the men agreed to the contract and that no money was involved.
The women take over the lower levels for most of the day, and that limits the areas where the men may go. They may still go out to the backyard and use the stairs, but they must remain careful of where they enter.
"They have done it out of the kindness of their hearts," Pitts said.
The restricted areas have put a hold on some outside chores because the women conduct several activities on the front lawn.
"It's kind of put a damper on our workweek activities, like cleaning up the yard," Stamm said.
Outdoor chores may be a problem, but it hasn't stopped the men from getting other chores completed.
The men can do chores and keep busy even if it means staying on the top floors, said Mike Zamora, Olathe junior.
"There is plenty of room on the second and third floors, and we're getting our daily chores done and everything we need to get done to get school started," he said.
Pitts said sharing the house had gone better than expected.
"You plan for the worst and hope for the best," Pitts said.
"The men have been fantastic."
The men also benefited when the women made cookies and pitched in to complete some of the chores.
Eric Trompeter, Atchison junior, said the women cleaned their rooms and the bathroom floor.
Zamora credits the smooth transition to the working relationship established by the two Greek houses.
"We have really communicated very well," he said. "Everybody is real flexible about everything. We're just glad to help out Alpha Gamma Delta and help come together for something other than just a big party."
The men said that the fraternity was not only helping the sorority, but also helping build a stronger relationship with the women of Alpha Gamma Delta.
"We all kind of see it as a good way to get in touch with the girls and also to help them out." Trompeter said.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon hopes the help provided this week will strengthen the fraternity's reputation and resonate throughout the Greek community.
"We've had a bad reputation in the past, so we're trying to show we've changed around here and get more involved in the greek community and help out," Trompeter said.

COURT
Nebraska man arraigned for impregnating 14-year-old
BY KEVIN O'HANLON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FALLS CITY, Neb. — The conflicting worlds of Matthew Koso collided yesterday inside a tiny Richardson County courtroom.
In one world, Koso is an ordinary 22-year-old factory worker who goes home each night to his wife, who is expecting their first child in less than a month.
In the other, Koso faces rape charges after impregnating and then marrying the now 14-year-old girl.
Koso did not say a word as Richardson County Judge Curtis Maschman set his arraignment in district court for Aug. 30 — two days after his wife is due to give birth.
The Associated Press is not naming the girl.
Koso's mother, Peggy, and older brother, Nick, sat in the
courtroom during the hearing. His wife was not present. She started school yesterday morning at Falls City High School, where she is freshman.
"That is her primary job — finishing school," Peggy Koso said. "She just wishes all of this would go away so they could get on with their lives."
After the girl became pregnant, her mother gave permission in May for Koso to take her daughter to Kansas, which allows minors to get married with parental consent.
Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning has charged Koso with first-degree sexual assault, punishable by up to 50 years in prison.
A Falls City Police investigator testified that the case began last May when the state Health and Human Services system asked the department to look
into a report that the girl might be pregnant.
Bruning said earlier that Koso is a friend of the girl's half brother and began a relationship with her when she was 12.
Nebraska requires people to be at least 17 before they can marry.
Kansas does not have a minimum age restriction on marriage as long as both parents or guardians approve or it is approved by a district court judge, said Whitney Watson, spokesman for Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline.
If only one parent approves, the judge must approve, as well.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said yesterday she was asking legislators to establish a minimum age for marriage.'
She said the age should be 16,17 or 18,"so we don't, after the fact, cover up abuse of children."

Appeals
CONTINUED FROM 1A
That amount would be close to what the Parking Department pays the appeals court every year. The money from the appeal fee will go to the Parking Department, but the department expects that money to pay for the court system.
"I would call it a revenu-neutral move because we pay the five administrators on the court. It's not a money-maker. It's really to support the court." she said.
Hultine has seen the nature of court rulings vary over the years, depending on the makeup of the court. The court granted as many as half of the appeals it received in years past, but Hultine said the court has become more conservative in its rulings. She estimates that the court overturned only about 30 percent of the citations that were appealed in the last year.
Paul Kenward, Ottawa,
Canada, graduate student,
has never received a ticket from
the KU Parking Department but said he disagrees with the new fee.
"An appeal should be free. That's why it's an appeal," Kenward said.
Some students think the appeal process is necessary because some students do not intend to break the rules. James Moore, Manhattan sophomore, said he does not drive on campus but that not everyone is aware of all of the parking rules.
Others have less sympathy for students appealing tickets and understand where the Parking Department is coming from with their decision.
"I'm okay with it," said Molly McHenry, Delphos freshman. "You shouldn't park where you shouldn't park."
Lucinda Koenig, Leavenworth junior, said she thought that the new fee would prevent appeals that have no real argument.
"It would make people think twice before wasting the time of the Parking Department. Frivolous appeals
waste valuable time that could be used in other areas," Koenig said.
Another factor that may detract students from parking illegally on campus this year, is a price increase in some ticket fees. Meter tickets increased from $5 to $10 and the tickets for displaying forged or altered permits, as well as stolen permits, went up from $65 to $100.

He said the situation would allow the KU Book-stores to receive the materials before other stores do.
After that, Muggy said, the buyers would have to go through the effort of duplicating the materials, obtaining permission and paying royalties to each publisher
"It can be time consuming." Muggy said.

Kristin Vickers
Store manager of

that individual stores have the ability to make their own course pack materials, as long as they properly follow both copyright law and royalty issues.
Kristin Vickers, store manager of the University Book Shop, 1116 W. 23rd St., said it was too late to obtain copyright permission for the fall semester.
"I guess in the past, the bookstores worked together to best suit the students."
Vickers said. "The Kansas Union is more interested in best suited themselves."
Norris said the KU Bookstores receive course pack materials from the professors and obtain the citations for those materials.
A lot of labor goes into verifying the copyright and paying royalties to the publisher to ensure that the faculty will not be at risk for any type of lawsuit, he said.
"All of that takes time and money and a staff to do, and private retailers have been able to piggy-back on our efforts," Norris said. "My textbook manager came to me and, 'why are we giving this away?'"
Norris said all of the money the KU Bookstores generated was used to support student services and events, and the dollars other bookstores made went to individuals that owned those private stores.

Reaction
CONTINUED FROM 1A
"I don't care one way or the other, but underage drinking is going on regardless of whether or not it is going on at the Union." Bahmaie said.
Other students think that the sale of 3.2 beer would give the University a bad reputation.
Francisco Vasquez, Rancho Cucamonga. Calif. graduate student, said he thought alcohol should not be allowed on campus because it is an educational institution.
"Drinking is at each person's own discretion, but not on campus." Vasquez said.
But Ahl said it was frustrating that the plan to sell 3.2 beer did not go through because people who want to drink while they bowl would take their money elsewhere. He said he knows people who enjoy drinking while they bowl.
"Bowling and beer can be very fun," Ahl said.

KU Info service valuable,worth saving
For 35 years, a comprehensive information service known as KU Info has had all the answers. The staff responded to nearly 700
MOLLY TUCKER &
ALISHA ASHLEY
OPINION@KANAM.COM
NARAJIT KUMAR
of your calls per day, providing you with information about academics, campus events, fitness, the weather, snow days, medical services, computers and technology, sports, community events, directions, graduation, buses, maps, schedules, enrollment, local religious services and anything else you might have wanted to know. Most calls were answered quickly; all calls were given an honest effort.
KU Info's staff consisted of twelve carefully selected, highly-motivated students, whose job was to sit by a phone and wait
for you to ask a question. Before answering your calls, however, incoming staff members went through three weeks of intensive training and rigorous spot-checking by senior staff members. This incredibly effective service was run with only two phones, two computers, and minimal office space for reference materials. Sounds great, doesn't it? Students and alumni had a service they could count on to provide accurate information at any time, about any subject, for a nominal cost to the University.
Last year, however, University administrators deemed this service inappropriate and elected to make some drastic changes, which many of you have already noticed. In the
future, only questions directly pertaining to academics will be answered. To handle this significantly reduced number of calls, the University actually intends to employ a larger, less well-trained staff who will have to divide their time between answering KU Info calls and performing other duties in their respective departments. Training a brand new staff that has only a cursory knowledge of the campus will create a need to transfer most calls to other departments, which frustrates students and wastes their time. These changes will eliminate the efficient, inexpensive, and dependable service KU Info offered for 35 years. KU Info has not been upgraded; it has been hijacked.
Implementing this watered-down version of KU Info will be very expensive, too. There is no cheaper staff than twelve
student employees. KU recently paid an Oregon design firm to create a new university logo. For the cost of our new logo, the University could have funded KU Info for two academic years. Considering the emphasis KU places on image, it is surprisingly willing to let one of its most beloved voices and traditions fall by the wayside.
KU Info is older than Baby Jay. It is older than the radio station, and was born the same year as Student Senate. It has been around longer than most students have been alive and longer than most administrative staff members have been employed here. KU Info is even older than Anschutz Library, the building that now houses it. This is not some fleeting organization—this is KU history.
When former KU Info staff members confronted University
officials last year concerning future changes to the service, one administrator said, "Things change. Get used to it."
But things shouldn't have to change if they work. KU Info has been around long enough to become an integral part of the campus and the community, and has remained virtually unchanged for over three decades. It is recognized by alumni around the world as a trusted institution and a point of pride. When it comes to KU Info, the University simply does not have the students' best interests in mind.
Our world is becoming less personal and more bureaucratic everyday. KU Info represented the highest standard of service, and was staffed by friendly, dedicated students who were as excited about helping you as you were about being helped. KU Info has
been saving your lives, your grades, your relationships, your sanity, and your pride for 35 years. And they've done it with a smile.
And now, after decades of proudly assisting the campus and community, we're asking for your help. We want to answer your calls again—all of them. If you see the "Save KU Info" petitions available on Wescoe Beach, in Mrs. E's, at the Recreation Center, downtown businesses, or online at http://www.petitiononline.com/kuinfo/petition.html, please sign them and let the administration know that you want the real KU Info back.

Yesterday's losers, today's trendsetters
I'm a strange k i d,
someti m es causing me to be mis taken
BETSY McLEOD
as drunken or dopey. My actions and lifestyle categorize me as a nerd, a geek, a weirdo; in short, someone who ultimately sniffs a different kind of glue.
Having been a true nerd from the beginning, I grew up in a world of geeky loneliness, comforted by only my fellow outcasts who sat with me at the losers' table and stood alone with me as the last children to get picked in gym class. I had the inch-thick glasses when I was 7, and in the fifth grade my dad cut my hair into a mullet, much to my mortification and my class' enjoyment. Eventually, I embraced being different, and true to form, I still do, sporting an "I" (heart) Nerds" purse and faking an accent whenever I order food in a drive-thru. I love to play chess, hate losing at online "Jeopardy!," and I'm completely obsessed with "Harry Potter."
But what, and who, is a nerd? The word first appeared in the 1950s in Dr. Seuss' book "If I Ran the Zoo," in which it represented just another strange animal in the zoo. It eventually came to be synonymous with an intelligent person who lacks appropriate social skills and doesn't seem to fit in, a defenseless stranger in a cookie-cutter society.
For years, the outcasts have fought an underground battle best exemplified in the "Revenge of the Nerds" movies.
Being bullied and put down, however,
has always fueled their inner desire
to show up at their
10-year high school
reunion with a babe
in one hand and
the keys to a brand
new Corvette in the other, and to have a silent snicker and shout "In Your Face!" at the beer-bellied plumber who used to give swirlies in the bathroom. Those of us who couldn't fight back with brawn were forced to use our brains, a choice that would have aided us more in the future anyway.
But now being uncoal is cool, and having some sort of quirk is the fad of the time. Sparked in part by monumental movie characters, such as "Napoleon Dynamite" and celebrated band Weezer, the nerd fad is quickly spreading to all corners of the United States, from the trendy hot spots in New York and Los Angeles to the insufferably Abercrombie-esque bar The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., in Lawrence. Seth Cohen, the comic-loving, unbearable cute oddball from the popular drama "The O.C." has inspired the female population to find a Seth of its own and seek out the weird, diamond-in-the-rough type of guy.
Creeping up into the Hollywood A-list are icons such as Jon Stewart and Tina Fey, both self-proclaimed losers and shining stars for all those whose sense of humor nobody gets. Controlling the Manhattan social scene is real estate mogul Donald Trump, famous for not just his commanding income but also his geeky comb-over, giving hope to the tragically unhip. And then there's the man who could
destroy the world with the click of a mouse, Bill Gates: a hero in the eyes of computer nerds everywhere. Yes, it does seem like the formerly-madefun-of are finally taking over the world.
And so, I now find myself suddenly surrounded by self-proclaimed nerds, albeit wearing designer faux-geeky gear. Am I to take this as flattery, now that my kind is "in" and stunningly beautiful girls
are hitting on my socially awkward, once ignored buddies? Or am I to be repulsed, angry that these posers are at present encroaching upon my hard-earned lifestyle? Although I probably should feel threatened that these newcomers are intruding
PETER J. BROWN
motivation in the world. If nobody picked on David Letterman, would he have learned to use humor as a defense mechanism? If Bill Gates had played with a football instead of a computer, would we have half the technology we do today?

Boycott
KU Bookstores
Unfair to Workers

Chalkings criticize bookstore
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
This week, someone chalked allegations on sidewalks around campus accusing KU Bookstores of unfair treatment of its employees.
The chalked message that appeared outside Stcottau Flint Hall read: "Boycott the KU Bookstores [Unfair to Workers]. KUBS = KUBS"
It is unknown who chalked the message or even if the person responsible for the chalking was an employee or former employee of KU Bookstores.
Tim Norris, director of KU Bookstores, said that although he had heard murmurs of discontent, he did
not know why anyone would chalk that message.
"I've heard a couple people complain," Norris said. "I'd love to address the issue, but I'm in the dark on it."
Liz Tillmanns, 2005 alumna, worked in the cataloging department of KU Bookstores in the Kansas Union for three years.
Debbie McDowell also worked for KU Bookstores' cataloguing department in the Union and was employed there for nine months.
She said a former employee who was upset with his treatment could have written the message.
She said she enjoyed working for the bookstore but heard students complain that they were not paid enough.
"I wasn't earning enough to support myself." McDowell said.
KU Bookstores is not associated with the University of Kansas, and it does not follow University policies on student pay.
The bookstores' benefits package was too expensive for her income level and she left because she found a higher paying job.
McDowell said she left the bookstore because her income was too low.
KU Bookstores employees have a starting wage of $5.75, according to the Kansas Memorial Uions Web site.
McDowell said, despite a low income level, she had no problems with KU Bookstores and enjoyed her job. She said she left on good terms with the bookstore.
The University recently passed a 50-cent minimum pay increase for student employees, which does not

GREEK LIFE

Students enjoy unique Greek life

mosbore@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Brittney Swift arrived at the University of Kansas knowing that if she wanted to join a sorority, she had two kinds to choose from: traditional or non-traditional. As a black woman, Swift decided to take the non-traditional route and consider joining an organization that is part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council. The NPHC is composed of nine Greek organizations whose members come predominantly from multicultural backgrounds.
"I figured if I joined a traditional sorority I would be all about who you know, how pretty you are or how much money you have," said Swift, Oklahoma City freshmen. "I didn't want to get into that because I already dealt with that in high school."
Jennifer King, public relations coordinator for NPHC and member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, said most people first learn about organizations at informational sessions held by the NPHC at the beginning of each fall semester. This semester's will be Tuesday, Aug. 23 in the Big 12 Room at the Kansas Union. Students can also learn more about NPHC organizations by going to events given by the organizations. Victor Aguilar, president of Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO) and member of Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity, said organizations also recruit through campus organizations like HALO. Black Student Union or Asian American Society. Aguilar said Sigma Lambda Beta members recruited him when he became involved with HALO.
"As a young Hispanic in a town where not a lot of people look like you, being in a closeknit organization definitely attracted me. Being wanted is a feeling you can't beat," Aguilar
said.
Aguilar said it is not an easy task to recruit new members because people see his chapter as only Hispanic. While it is Latino-based, members of all ethnicities and races are welcomed, he said.
"We actually are pretty diverse just within our organization. Seeing people from India, Peru, Guatemala, Pakistan and all over makes you see the world in a different way and furthers your sense of pride for the organization." Aguilar said.
Members of NPHC chapters at KU extoll the camaraderie of the governing body at KU. Melinda Benavidez, Topeka senior and member of Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority, said both traditionally black and Latino chapters have made efforts to support each other.
"We are all in this for a common goal and that is to empower all of us as a minority because as a minority we need to band together." Benavidez said.
Benavidez never expected to join a sorority when she came to the University in March 2003. But she became impressed with Greek culture when she attended events like Take Over the Beach during Hawk Week in 2003 and saw the women who were in NPHC sororities.
"I enjoy how tight-knit the chapter is. I can name everyone in the house's favorite food," Benavidez said. "That is saying something because with other houses that have a 100 people, I would probably only be able to remember 10 names. I would say it's much easier to get to know people in your organization and also those in NPHC."
Students interested in learning more about NPHC organizations can contact the Office of Multicultural Affairs at 785-864-4351.

Adidas gear arrives

JAYHAWKS
adidas
New University of Kansas adidas apparel is already hitting stores across Lawrence. The Jock's Nitch has many shirts and jerseys available.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When his first shipment of Kansas adidas merchandise arrived last week, Doug Dobbins wasn't excited about what he received.
"Honestly, I haven't been super impressed with it," Dobbins, D3 Sports owner, said. "It's been kind of bland."
Dobbins said the short amount of time available to create new products was the reason for the fairly simple designs. An adidas representative told Dobbins that because the contract was finalized late, there would only be a partial line of products for sale this year. Currently, D3 Sports, 2040 W. 31st St., is only carrying the new Kansas blue football jerseys and football practice shirts.
"It's going to come in stages," Ryan Owens, Jock's Nitch manager, said. "We're getting to the point where we're getting stuff on time."
Local sports apparel stores had anticipated having adidas products in early August; however, the first shipments didn't arrive until last week.
Previous shipments were delayed up to several weeks, leaving him without football apparel until mid-August. Owens said in previous years he had Nike products before the beginning of August.
Owens said he anticipated the authentic adidas gear, like those worn by coaches and athletes, to arrive sometime next month. Jock's Nitch currently carries jerseys, shirts, polos and shorts.
The adidas authentic gear collection will be called "Big Game," which is similar to Nike's "Elite" series of products.
"We're continuing to work feverishly. We're not concerned about the date, but about doing it right."
Jim Marchiony Associate athletics director
"We're continuing to work feverish," Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said. "We're not concerned about the date, but about doing it right."
While Dobbins wasn't impressed with his first shipment of adidas merchandise, he said that the University's contract with adidas might actually enable him to sell more Nike products.
"We anticipate it being a good thing for us that the University went with adidas," Dobbins said. "The only place you'll be able to get Nike will be downtown or here."
Even though Nike no longer has the rights to the authentic gear worn by athletes and coaches, the company will still be able to produce items such as shirts and hats.
Owens said that Jock's Nitch, 837 Massachusetts St., would still carry Kansas merchandise by Nike because it's such a high quality product.
Both Dobbins and Owens said it was too early to tell whether adidas products would match the popularity among fans that Nike once had.
"Ultimately the customers will tell us which they like and what's going to sell better," Dobbins said.

New legs kick off
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Graduated kicker Johnny Beck may have been the cause of ridicule during his time at the University of Kansas, but his powerful leg will be missed this season.
Beck finished tied for third in school history with 40 career field goals made, and his booming leg completed the second longest field goal in school history: a 59-yard field goal in 2001.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino will look to sophomore kicker Scott Webb to replace him on the long field goals, which will be an adjustment, as Webb kicked only point after touchdowns and short field goals last season.
Webb's longest field goal last

season was only 27 yards.
While it's unknown how much stronger Webb's leg has become, it's clear that he will not handle the kick-off duties. Those duties will go to punter Kyle Tucker.
"The good thing about Scott Webb is that he's so much stronger than he was a year ago," Mangino said. "He did a great job in the weight room. He is definitely the No. 1 guy kicking field goals and PAT's."
Tucker is even challenging Webb for the longer field goal attempts.
"Kyle Tucker has a live leg. He's booming the ball punting it. When he gets a little more control he'll be a factor." Mangino said.
Tucker's 'booming,' leg was apparent last season punting the football.
Tucker averaged 40.1 yards per punt and placed 15 punts inside the 20-yard line.
While junior cornerback Charles Gordon has been the focal point returning punts the past two season, some new faces may join him this year. Wide
It is clear that the punting job is Tucker's.
Punter Kyle Tucker works on his kick with the special teams punt unit at the football practice fields on Tuesday. Tucker took over the starting job last season.

The problem with experienced, well-rounded teams is they must first be young and learn from their mistakes.
As the KU soccer team heads into its opening weekend against Drake, there is no doubt that it is young.
On a roster of 22 athletes, six will be freshmen, new to Division I and new to Coach Mark Francis' expectations and style of play. Thanks to a solid cast of returning players, the newcomers will have adequate help starting the season.
"When you come from playing
high school ball to playing college ball, it's like starting all over again," said Jessica Bush, freshman midfielder and forward. "You're at the bottom of the food chain and have to work yourself back up."

Kansan sports coverage to adapt
The sports journalism world is always changing, and as sports editors we will do our best to change with it.
Several sports stories are now viewed to be as important as breaking news.
A story like this could be reported in several different ways.
When Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens got sent home from training camp, the media was so intrigued by the story that helicopters flew above his house and took pictures of him shooting a basketball in his backyard. Reporters then asked him questions about his training camp departure as he was doing sit-ups in his driveway.
It craves an editorial and also calls for pictures and video, but the sheer news factor is also important.
Here at the Kansan, we realize this, and with what happened last year in the world of Kansas athletics we understand that the opportunity to cover this type of event could occur this semester.
Though we weren't on campus this summer, we paid close attention to the events outside the Moon Bar. The self-imposed probation the University issued was another big story from the summer.
We learned from the mistakes other media outlets made, and hope to avoid them ourselves.
We will try to present both sides of every issue and give readers all the facts necessary to make their own judgements in every game recap, feature or hard-hitting sports news story we publish on every sports page of the Kansan.
But we also want to entertain.
Throughout the sports section, readers should expect to see the same great sports stories the Kansan has always offered, but with the addition of fun graphics that constantly accompany the stories.

FOOTBALL Basketball player narrows choices
Brandon Rush, a 6-foot-6 forward, visited the University of Kansas on Sunday, but is still making up his mind on where he wants to play college basketball.
Rush has reportedly narrowed his prospective schools to Kansas and Indiana.
The 13th-ranked basketball prospect from the class of 2005, according to recruiting Web site rivals.com, is thought to be the best unsigned player available
Rush could play for the Jayhawks this season if he decides to sign, as he recently removed his name from the NBA draft.
However, the big obstacle could be whether he is declared academically eligible by the NCAA Clearinghouse.
Rush is expected to make a decision in the next few days.

Chiefs kicker makes court appearance
ELLSWORTH, Wis. - Kansas City Chiefs kicker Lawrence Tynes was charged Wednesday with breaking a bouncer's nose in a bar fight, a felony with a maximum penalty of 3 1/2 years in prison.
Tynes, 27, turned himself in Wednesday morning and made his first appearance in Pierce County Circuit Court on one felony count of substantial battery and one count of misdemeanor battery. He was released on a $15,000 signature bond.
"We know our players so well, especially the kids that have been around," Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said Wednesday. "Least likely normally to have a problem is the kicker. It isn't always their fault, but automatically it's their name because nobody else knows anybody else that was involved."
The alleged fight took place early Sunday morning at a bar in River Falls, where the Chiefs have their training camp.
A police report said Tynes allegedly hit a bar patron in the face, then hit the bouncer in the nose.
Tynes was charged after police received medical reports from the incident, River Falls Police Capt. John Stapleton said. Wisconsin law provides for a felony battery charge if the victim sustains a broken bone.
Vermeil said his second-year kicker, who has had a lackluster training camp, has learned something from his brush with the law.

Team tries to replace graduated seniors
After falling short at the NCAA Regionals the past two years, the Kansas men's golf team will look to change its for- tune this season
Golf Club in Lawrence.
Kansas coach Ross Randall will try to find leaders to replace departed seniors Kevin Ward and Andrew Price. Juniors Tyler Docking and Gary Woodland are the front-runners after their impressive offseason play.
Woodland, Topeka junior, won the 95th Kansas Amateur Match
"I played just about every week in the early parts of the summer," Woodland said. "The Kansas Amateur was a big boost for me and it seems like every day I am getting better."
"

Play championship July 17 in Manhattan. He and Docking also brought home a victory July 18 in the Kansas Four-Ball championship at the Alvamar
Woodland said he would leave today for Ardmore, Pa. to participate in the U.S. Amateur. The tournament, which begins Aug. 22, will force him to miss the first week and a half of school.
With Woodland tweaking his game for the upcoming season, Docking, Olathe junior, was just as persistent
this summer, playing in tournaments and paying particular attention to his short game.
"In this day and age, most golfers can hit it far, it's just whether
you can hit the putt," he said.
Randall enters his 27th season at the reigns of the team and has an optimistic outlook. The Jayhawks have never returned as many seniors as the four that Kansas has this year, he said.
The seniors include Luke Trammell, Jason Sigler, Rainier and Pete Krsnich. Randall said he expected them to be leaders along with Woodland and Docking.
Randall said he would decide who would fill the eight spots after he had an opportunity to see who played well in the fall.
The team will begin its season in the NCAA Central Regional Preview in Chardon, Ohio, Sept. 12 and 13. The Jayhawks will strive to play better at the end of the year as well.
"We played as poorly as we could have played last year and only missed advancing by two strokes," Randall said. "We had a lot of talent on that team and for us not to advance is a shame. However, that is in the past."

Four freshmen highlight the new faces on the court for KU volleyball this year.
Defensive specialist Liz Ingram, a four-time all-conference and one-time all-state selection in Iowa, is expected to compete for a starting role immediately. She could fill the role of libero, which Jill Dorsey vacated when she graduated last year. Dorsey led the Big 12 in digs last season.

In addition, freshman Kristin Buehler will see her first game-action this season, as she took a redshirt last season. She hopes to start at middle blocker for the Jayhawks, after spending last season on the practice squad.
Buehler said her main focus will be strengthening the squad, no matter what role she played.

Freshman Savannah Noyes is not expected to start, but is battling for playing time at middle blocker -- a spot vacated when 2004 all-Big 12 Conference team member Ashley Michaels graduated.

cich, the 2004 Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year, will take a red shirt this season. Martinicch won three state championships at Bishop Miege High School and made the all-state team twice. She will practice this season in hopes of becoming a starter in 2006.
For the newcomers fresh out of high school, the change of pace to Division I volleyball is the biggest hurdle.
"It's a whole other system that we had to learn," Martincicch said. "The competition is a whole different step up."

"I think it's too early for me to tell, but I just hope I can help the team be better," Ingram said.
"I'm going to try to make the A side work harder,make good competition for the starters," she said.
Coach Ray Bechard said some of the freshmen could have an immediate impact on his team this season.
"Savannah adds depth to the middle and has an opportunity to contribute there early on." Bechard said. "Liz Ingram will have an opportunity as well."
Even if they don't contribute right away in matches, they will still be a big factor in the success of the team, Bechard said.

NASCAR
Charlotte courts for hall of fame
BY JENNA FRYER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Touting a rich racing history and the city's role as NASCAR's current hub, Charlotte leaders presented their pitch Wednesday to build a hall of fame for the stock-car series.
A delegation of NASCAR officials heard details of Charlotte's $137.5 million bid, lunched with local leaders, then embarked on a downtown bus tour that passed by the proposed site. George Pyne, NASCAR's chief operating officer, was later treated to a helicopter ride over the city.
"Today's effort shows that the leaders here are passionate and committed to the Hall of Fame," Pyne said. "Charlotte did an outstanding job in making a compelling case."
Five cities have bid for the Hall of Fame, and NASCAR officials are touring each one. The delegation was in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Monday, Atlanta on Tuesday and Kansas City on Thursday. The tour concludes next week in Richmond, Va.
The selection process will effectively come in three steps, with the delegation whitting down the interested cities after the site visits. A larger committee will then examine the remaining contenders and make a recommendation to NASCAR's
six-member board of directors
The board can either accept the recommendation or chose any other city it wants.The process is expected to run through the end of the year.
NASCAR has been clear in what it is looking for in a Hall of Fame, citing the ability to draw visitors as well as help capture new racing fans. Charlotte maintains it holds the advantage there, since an estimated 1 million NASCAR fans already visit the region to attend the three Nextel Cup races at Lowe's Motor Speedway and tour the nearby shops.
The majority of NASCAR's teams are headquartered in and around Charlotte.
"This is NASCAR Valley," said Mayor Pat McCryon, who made Charlotte's official presentation Wednesday. "This is where the stars are. This is where the past is. This is where the future is."
Rick Hendrick, one of NASCAR's most powerful team owners, has been the face of Charlotte's bid and said he has not witnessed the city work so hard for something in the 29 years he has lived here.
"I have never seen an effort like this, all the way back to the original Charlotte Hornets and the NFL, that has had more substance and support," Hendrick said.
NASCAR is carefully studying the financial plans of each bid.

Kansas football coach Mark Mangino wrapped up his team's final two-a-day practices yesterday at the practice
0
fields behind Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Mangino said he was pleased with the team's performance throughout training camp.
"I couldn't ask for a camp to go better," Mangino said.
Charles Gordon, junior cornerback, returns a kick during yesterday's practice. Gordon is a preseason all-American.
since they arrived on campus.
Mangino said each of the team's practice sessions had gone very well.

"There have been some moments that may be a sag here and there, but we look at the big picture every day and we got a lot accomplished," Mangino said. "This is how good football teams are supposed to practice."
"The young guys, they are starting to really settle down a little bit now," Mangino said. "They are starting to understand our system. I am very pleased at where we are at, at this point."
Brian can make plays, he just needs to do it on a consistent basis. I get excited every day about Brian, he'll make a great play, and I get fired up. And then 10 minutes later he does something that he knows he shouldn't have done. He is a better ball player than that."
Mangino has been impressed with the newcomers and how they have performed
Mark Mangino Kansas football coach
Senior cornerback Theo Baines was held out of practice yesterday. Mangino said he practiced earlier this week but reaggravated an existing injury.
Baines was expected to start alongside junior Charles Gordon at cornerback, but at this point, Mangino said Baines had been passed on the depth chart.
Ronnie Amadi and Donnie Amadi are competing for the final available cornerback spot. Both saw time last year when Baines was out with an injury at that time.
"Theeo has to fight back and get healthy and compete for it again." Mangino said.
Redshirt freshman Gary Green took snaps during the 11-on-11 portion of practice yesterday and caught a few balls out of the back field. On
defense, Gordon managed to pull down two interceptions: one from junior Adam Barmann and the other from senior Brian Luke.
Mangino has yet to name a starting quarterback, but he said that Barmann was leading the way.
"Brian can make plays, he just needs to do it on a consistent basis," Mangino said. "I get excited every day about Brian, he'll make a great play.
Luke is chasing Barmann for the starting job.
and I get fired up. And then ten minutes later he does something that he knows he shouldn't have done. He is a better ball player than that."
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier is also in the running. Mangino said.
Sophomore offensive lineman Cesar Rodriguez and brother Jose missed practice yesterday because they were attending their grandfather's funeral. Mangino expects them to return to the team this evening.
Mangino said that he and the coaching staff had created a list of players that they thought may take redshirts this season.
"We have never forced a kid to red-shirt and we have never forced a young man to play here," Mangino said. "Usually they trust our decision. I have been with teams where guys have said, 'No, I want to play,' or 'I definitely want to red-shirt, I don't want to play.' We have begun the process about thinking of who we want to red-shirt."
Freshman linebacker Brandon Duncan is not yet on that list, Mangino said.

Baylor kicker serves as silver lining

Editor's Note: This is the first of 11 articles, by Daniel Berk, previewing Kansas' competition in the Big 12 Conference. The articles will run every day from now until Sept. 1. Tomorrow the Kansan will look at Texas Tech.
The Baylor Bears found out just how tough the Big 12 South division was last year, as the Bears were the only team in the division not to qualify for a bowl game.
Baylor managed just one victory in conference play last season, beating Texas A&M 35-34 in overtime. The team couldn't carry the momentum from beating its rival, though, as the Bears lost their last three
Sarah Laurel
games by a combined score of 126-38.
Baylor could be more competitive this season under third year coach Guy Morriss, who came to Baylor after coaching at the University of Kentucky.
Morriss has managed to win
only six games in his two years as coach and said that in order for the Bears to succeed it starts with recruiting the right players.
"It's imperative we keep our recruits here for five years," Morriss said. "At Baylor we are going to have to win with fourth and fifth-year players."
BU
It might not be a good sign for the Bears that the team's most heralded player is their punter.
Junior Daniel Sepulveda returns as the team's punter after winning the Ray Guy award last year as the nation's top punter.
as a linebacker, but made the switch after Morriss held open auditions for a punter during practice.
As a sophomore, Sepulveda averaged 46 yards per kick and had 26 punts land inside the 20-yard line.
Sepulveda came to Baylor
"We asked if we have anybody out there that can punt a football, and this kid jumps up and down, raises his hand and
I asked him when was the last time he punted, and it was something like junior high," Morriss said. "He picks up the football, and kicks the cover off it, and the rest is history."
Sepulveda isn't the only standout on special teams for the Bears, as senior Willie Andrews was named to the Preseason Big 12 Media Team as a
conference.
The Bears will get a lift on offense this season from Tulane transfer Will Blavlock.
Blaylock, a Texas native, returns to his home state after Tulane encountered a coaching change a year ago.
"We asked if we have anybody out there that can punt a football, and this kid jumps up and down, raises his hand and I asked him when was the last time he punted, and it was something like junior high."

Morriss said Andrews was not only one of the top return men in the country, but also one of the best safeties in the
Blaylock is expected to be the team's starting center and have an immediate impact on the offensive line.
"He is a kid that is very sharp mentally, and he is our traffic cop," Morriss said. "You never see the guy on the ground. He uses his hands well. I think it starts from there."

Kansas City loses 18th straight game
SEATTLE — One of the Kansas City Royals has even had to change his evening plans.
"I'm embarrassed," righ'thander Jose Lima said. "I'm embarrassed to go into a bar. The people would say, 'They lost 18 in a row. They really stink this year.'"
The Royals lost their clubrecord 18th straight game yesterday, moving within three of matching the longest skid in American League history by falling 11-5 to the Seattle Mariners.
Manager Buddy Bell rejoined the Royals after a two-game absence while attending burial services at Arlington National Cemetery for his Marine nephew, who was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq earlier this month.
Bell returned to the dugout and watched the Royals get closer to the AL record of 21 straight losses set by the Baltimore Orioles at the start of the 1988 season. The modern major league record for consecutive losses is 23, set by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies.
"This is tough." Lima said, packing to get ready to go to Oakland with the rest of the Royals. "This is something we didn't plan. Nothing is going
our way right now."
The Royals start a three-game series at Oakland tomorrow night before returning home to face Boston for three games beginning Tuesday night.
They're 0-3 against the Athletics and Red Sox, with both sweeps coming during their current streak.
Lima lost 1-0 to Mike Maroth in the second game of a doubleheader at Detroit last Sunday. He noted the Athletics, 5-3 losers to Baltimore on Wednesday, have a losing streak of their own at four straight. Like the Royals, the A's are off Thursday.
Lima (4-11) will start tomorrow night for the Royals, with Mike Wood (3-4) going Saturday night and Runeluvs Hernandez (8-11) on Sunday.
He hopes to break his team's losing streak.
"I hope they keep losing."
Lima said of the As. "I've just got to do my job and stay focused like my last game."
Adrian Beltre hit a grand slam in the first inning for the Mariners, and Jamie Moyer (10-4) made the early lead stand up. Seattle's final run came in the eighth when Kansas City reliever Mike MacDougal fielded an easy comebacker with the bases loaded and threw the ball over catcher Paul Phillips' head.

goalkeeper, the job is now open. Freshman Julie Hanley looks to take the spot after an All-American career at North Central High in Indianapolis.
"I'm a little nervous, but the girls on the team are helping us out," Hanley said.
Freshman midfielder and forward Sara Rogers said she recognized the stature of talent that left with last year's seniors and the success that is expected of the Leawood native and her fellow freshmen.
Missy Geha, a 2005 Gatorade soccer player of the year in Kansas, said she puts little stock in all her accolades. She knows this is a new start and she must prove herself again, despite her reputation and older sister Amy, who was a Jav Hawk as well.
"That was senior year when I'm older than everybody else," Geha said. "Now I'm back down and I have so much to
learn so the award is not a factor in anything I'm doing right now."
Kansas almost missed out on Geha altogether. Geha snid she committed to Nebraska but changed her mind after visiting Kansas.
Midfielders Jenny Murtaugh and Kristin Graves round out the six freshmen and bring their own skill sets to the field.
Murtaugh was awarded Most Valuable Player honors at the 2004 State Cup for Dakota Ridge High School in Littleton, Colo. and Graves led Blue Valley West High School to a state championship last year.
"I always see myself living up to expectations," Geha said. "It puts a lot of pressure on you to be consistent with your game."
The women feel the pressure of what will be expected of them two days from now in their first game.

receivers Brian Murph and Mark Simmons may lighten the load for Gordon, as Mangino tries to fit him more at wide receiver.
Simmons did return two punts last season for a total of 31 yards and Mangino said he had confidence in both Simmons and Murph.
"Where do we reduce reps and where to we add reps to help our team?" Mangino said. "That's the question the staff and I are trying to answer. He is just such a talented guy."
"We feel like we have two very reliable and excellent punt returners outside of Charles with Mark Simmons and Brian Murph," Mangino said.
Gordon returned 29 punts
last season and averaged nine yards per return, which was good for sixth in the conference. Those numbers were down compared to his freshman season, where he averaged 13.1 vards per return.
Senior wide receiver Greg Heaggins will likely handle kick off return duties.
It was thought that Heaggans might not return to the field this year after he was in Mangino's dog house for receiving a DUI.
However, Heaggans remained on the team and will look to build on the 15 returns he had last season for 359 yards.
"Special teams is a big part of our arsenal," Heaggans said. "Coach Mangino makes special teams as important as offense or defense."

Cardinals win shutout
AP SPORTS WRITER
ST. LOUIS - A year ago at this time, Mark Multer was in the midst of a second-half swoon that contributed to the Oakland Athletics missing the playoffs for the first time in five seasons.
This August, he's hitting his stride with his new team.
Mulder threw a five-hitter for his second shutout of the season and John Mabry hit a two-run homer, helping the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0 on Wednesday night.
"I could care less about last year," Mulder said. "I feel good now and that's all that matters."
The Cardinals are 76-44 and passed the Chicago White Sox (74-44) for the best record in the major leagues. Mulder was looking forward to telephoning former teammate Jermaine Dye to let him know.
"I told him we're going to catch you, and he goes, 'Whatever, dude.'" Mulder said. "We caught them."
Mulder (14-6) has won seven of his last nine decisions, and rebounded from a four-inning stint in Chicago on Aug. 11 in which he surrendered seven runs. He struck out four, walked two and benefited from three double plays. He has shut out the Diamondbacks in both of his career starts against them, the other a one-hitter in 2001.
This was the 10th shutout of Mulder's career, and his 24th complete game. Last year, he was 12-2 with a 3.21 ERA before the All-Star break and 5-6 with a 6.13 ERA the rest of the way.
"There's nothing different, I just got into a funk last year, that's it," Mulder said. "It's going to happen to somebody at some point in their career.
Mulder contributed two hits to an 11-hit attack, including a run-scoring single in the seventh for his second RBI of the year that made it 4-0. He is 76-10 in 97 career starts when his team scores four or more runs, and is 12-1 with a 1.96 ERA at night
10 or 11 wins in the second half so it's pointless, it's just how it happened."
and 1-5 with a 7.57 ERA during the day.
"A couple of years ago I had
"Everything we did, he seemed to make a pitch to get us to hit the ball on the ground," manager Bob Melvin said. "You have to stay away from trying to get greedy and pull the ball and try to do too much."
This one was all about Mulder's dominance.
I could care less about last year. I feel good now and that's all that matters."
Webb lasted 6 2-3 innings and gave up five runs and 11 hits. He
Mabry doubled and scored in the second and hit his seventh homer off Brandon Webb (10-9) into the visitor's bullpen in the fourth to put the Cardinals ahead 3-0. He is 5-for-7 with four RBIs for his career against Webb and 9-for-13 against the Diamondbacks, numbers that influenced manager Tony La Russa's decision to give him a spot start.
"He knows who does well against whom and he tries to put you in a situation where you can succeed." Mabry said. "He's been very good at that and the players that have been getting an opportunity have been taking advantage of that."
Troy Glaus singled twice and walked for the Diamondbacks, who have lost four straight and are 2-6 with four games remaining on a 12-game trip. Arizona is 2-12 against the Cardinals the last three seasons, losing the first two games of a three-game series by a total of 13-2, and fell a season-worst nine games below .500.
Mark Mulder Cardinal pitcher
0-3 against the Cardinals for his career with a 5.95 ERA.
He had been 2-0 in his three previous starts, allowing four earned runs in 22 innings, but said Mabry's homer was the only hard-hit ball.
"I left that changeup up and zap, it was out of there," Webb said. "There's not much you can do with that."
Mabry doubled to start the second and scored on Mark Grudzielanek's bunt single when first baseman Conor Jackson fielded the ball and threw wildly to first. Jim Edmonds doubled with one out in the fourth and Mabry followed with his seventh homer on a 1-0 pitch.
Mulder had an RBI single and Abraham Nunez drove home another run with a squeeze bunt in a two-run seventh.
Notes — The Cardinals are 19-12 against the NL West. ... St. Louis starters lead the majors with 65 wins, 10 more than the second-place Sox Sox. ... So Taguchi of the Cardinals had two hits and is 18-for-36 during a career-best 10-game hitting streak. ... Glaus is 11-for-25 during a seven-game hitting streak. He is 10-for-16 against the Cardinals this year with a homer and three RBs.
Rare shutout pitched at Coors
DENVER — Chris Capuano allowed six hits over seven innings and drove in both runs to lead Milwaukee to a 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
The Associated Press
Capuano had given up nine runs in losing his two previous starts.
Capuano (13-8), Dana Eveland, Jose Capellan and Derrick Turnbow combined for the 29th shutout in the 11 years Coors Field has been open.
Jamey Wright (6-14) gave up two runs and three hits in seven innings and dropped to 0-3 in his last three starts.

Editor's Note
For my last, first day of school
On my first day of designers, Becka Cremer kindergarten, in 1988, I and Aaron Huston, have
Bernice K.
wore a little pair of shorts and a matching shirt. My mom brushed my hair half up and secured it with an elastic holder. She drove me to school in the Volvo
and when we arrived at Kachina elementary school, she kissed me and watched as I walked into the classroom.
Of course this first day of school is different.That's mostly because I'm not thinking about whether I'll get a nice teacher or if the other students in my class will like me. Instead, I'm more wondering whether Brian Wacker, the associate Jayplay editor, and I caught all the style errors, whether Chancellor Hemenway is happy with his cover photo and most of all, whether you, the reader, will like what you see when you turn the pages.
As you might have already noticed, Jayplay looks different this semester. We didn't go so far as to change the logo, but that's about all that's stayed the same - looks-wise. Our new
And whether it's your first day of school, your last, or somewhere in between — welcome home, Jayhawks.

Fondue — it's not just a word that rhymes with rendezvous, it's French culinary cuisine. And you don't even need to buy a fondue pot to make your own. A crock pot or any stainless steel cooking pan and a stove will melt cheese and chocolate fondues just fine.
Trust me, if you're looking for a way to impress your favorite TriLambda or you're buddies are coming over to watch Family Guy and you know they'll raid your pantry if you don't come up with something
to feed them, then read on, my friends, and find out what fondue has in store for you.
Cheese It Up
Go ahead, dip your sourdough bread into that hot, buttery, melted white cheese. Cheese fondue is a great way to learn the art of melted masterpieces. For the all-American taste, cut up a Granny Smith green apple and dip it in melted cheddar cheese. And if you like veggies with dip — try dipping a crispy or-
History
This quirky culinary cuisine seems to have originated from the Swiss mountains, a product of Swiss cow herders who spent long days in snow-covered pastures with sparse provisions, according to the Melting Pot's history of fondue handout.
The herders had an abundance of cheese, loaves of bread and bottles of wine to help keep warm. No scrap of
cheese went uneaten as they cooked the cheese, mixed with wine, in earthenware cooking pots.
This melted cheese and wine, dish dip slowly made its way down the hills into the houses of Swiss nobles by way of servants.
But fondue was not introduced to the world until the Frenchman, Jean Birlat-Savarin
brought it to the United States after escaping the French Revolution. A consensuir of good food, Savarin brought fondue au fromage (with cheese) to the culinary world. Savarin's fondue is made with creamy scrambled eggs, butter and a small amount of 'Gruyere cheese' — considered the predecessor of America's baked casserole.
ange carrot into melted cheese. The
ange carrot into Melting Pot Restaurant in Kansas City, which offers a four-course fondue-exclusive dinner, features four types of cheeses for the first course, according to General Manager, Donn Davis.
French, fondre to melt A dish in which small pieces of food are dipped into a hot sauce or a hot cooking medium such as oil or broth
Prepared right at the table are Swiss, Gruyere, Cheddar and Spinach Artichoke. Guests have their choice of various breads, apples and veggies for fabulous, cheesy dipping action.
Oils, Broths and Sauces Oh My!
A little more complicated are main course fondues. But don't shy away because shrimp with warm cocktail sauce (see recipe box)
and chicken dipped in hot teriyaki sauce make for a robust and flavorful meal. Another less fattening fondue option is simple vegetable broths or bouillon. Chop up some potatoes, veggies or small bits of seafood and get dipping.
Chocolate Dream
If chocolate is the way to a woman's heart then chocolate fondue is the way to her pants. But seriously, chocolate fondue comes in an abundance of different varieties. Grab a couple king-size Hershey bars at the store and mix it with whatever you please. The Melting Pot offers pure chocolates — dark, white, and milk — Cookies 'n Cream Marshmallow Dream, Chocolate S'mores, Yin and Yang, Amaretto Meltdown and Flaming Turtle. So throw in some Oreos or swirl the chocolate with Caramel sauce. Just make sure your taste buds are ready to endure pure bliss.

OLD CHICAGO
As writers in this department, we may harp on the downside of love, but deep inside we really are rooting for romance. While we usually stick to well-researched advice, this time we decided to experience the perils of love firsthand: It was time for a blind date. Our initial attempt to pass out questionnaires on campus failed because of a lack compatibility and low response. We resorted to setting up friends of friends of friends to find our potential couple. In return we found a male and female willing to spend a few hours being observed on a Saturday night Old Chicago dinner date. Here are the details.
6 p.m.
Tyler Young, Abilene, senior, arrives early to the restaurant. Although he doesn't expect any relationship from the date, it was important for him to be on time. Hannah Owens, Downers Grove, Ill., junior, arrives shortly after and the two nervously shake hands. They wait a minute for a table, saying nothing.
The hostess seats them in a booth with Tyler facing our direction. They begin with small talk about their majors. Quietly looking at the menus, they discuss sharing a pizza. Hannah requests mushrooms and Tyler offers a two-topping solution: pepperoni and mushrooms. He asks how much she can eat and they end up getting a medium. Hannah orders a Diet Pepsi and Tyler gets water. While the pair wait for their food, they sit rigidly in their booth with their hands close to their bodies.
After they order the waitress takes our order and we inform her of the blind date. She is relieved and says, "That explains it. When I got their order they were like, 'Oh. Do you? Umm. Oh. Food. Split. What? Umm. Food. Where? What? Agree?"
Jayplay 8.18.05
6:08 p.m.
The waitress brings their salads and Tyler discusses going to grad school after a little time off. As much as we tried to stay out of the date, Tyler seemed to notice us observing him. Conversation continues with talk of jobs, internships, professors and hometowns and the two start to loosen up, using more hand gestures. Tyler's smile become less awkward and forced. "Do you come to Old Chicago often?" Tyler asks. "Occasionally," Hannah answers. "But did you notice everything that is not Chicago about it? The deep dish is not really deep dish."
6:19 p.m.
Silence for a minute as they observe a prom group leaving.
6:24 p.m.
The pizza arrives. The conversation switches to music and Hannah says she saw Iron and Wine in concert last week. At this point, Hannah is doing most of the talking.
6:30 p.m.
Tyler looks intrigued and interested in the conversation while eating* the pizza. We think he finally stopped noticing us and both are smiling. Hannah says she is in marching band and Tyler says his sister used to do that. They discuss how the directors can get the band to practice three times a week. The topic quickly switches to all the airports in Kansas the two have visited.
6:39 p.m.
Silence for a few minutes, interrupted by Tyler coughing and then apologizing.
6:43 p.m.
The waitress boxes up the pizza and we tell them they have to order dessert. They agree with a simultaneous "yes!" Hannah decides on a cookie and Tyler gets cheesecake.
6:58 p.m.
Dessert arrives.
7:10 p.m.
"Iisn't it ironic that the Anarchists are so organized?" Tyler asks. They both laugh. "Ya know, KU is probably one of the few campuses with its own anarchy group," Hannah says.
7:28 p.m.
Dessert is finished and they end with last-minute small talk.
7:34 p.m.
The date ends and they shake hands again, this time less awkwardly.
Reactions
Hannah thought Tyler was reserved at first, but later he seemed like a cool guy.Tyler says he thought she was nice. They both agree they are at different places in their lives: Tyler just coming off an internship and Hannah in her junior year. They discovered they knew a lot of the same people. Hannah says her most awkward moment was in the beginning because she was frazzled and inarticulate. Tyler says the awkwardness came with dessert when Hannah stopped talking. They both agree that the best part of the date was their conversation about politics.In the end,the two say they will probably not go out again.And though we're disappointed, we hope our attempt at a love connection might at least spark a friendship.
Bitch moan
1
Another school year, another barrage of questions from frustrated, confused, bewildered students absolutely confounded by the world of sex. Never Fear. Bitch & Moan returns - albeit with a new writer to save you from your own blissful ignorance. This semester, Brian Bratichak fills the void left by Chris Tackett and joins up with veteran Jessi Crowder to field all of your relationship and sexual queries. So the first question, of course, has to be: "Who are you guys?"
Jessica: As much as we'll all'miss Chris, I'm sure you'll be enthralled by what Brian has to say about your questions concerning sex, relationships and college life in general. I've been lucky to know Brian prior to writing with him, so we already have a nice dynamic worked out between us. Brian has some really unique qualities that most men struggle with. Not only is he a heartfelt romantic, but his sensuality allows him to be completely comfortable with both himself and other people. Basically, he's a stud muffin with great insight into both the male and female psyche.
Brian: The beautiful Jessi is a veteran at giving advice. She is deeply intrigued by sex, relationships and all forms of intimacy. While reading this column, she may come across as a complete sex-a-holic. But deep down, she is a true romantic and very willing to share her vast knowledge with all of us. Each and every one of us should feel fortunate that we are taking advice from a future Dr. Ruth.
?
After' my girlfriend and I fool around she complains of an aching feeling down there, but it only happens if she doesn't come. Should we be worried?
- Dylan, Sophomore
Jessica: You just described the female version of blue balls. There's a common misconception that women don't have this problem. But trust me, some of us do! Just like guys, if you get us all riled up with no big O, we're going to feel the uncomfortable after-effect. Finish her off or let her do it herself. Good luck!
Brian: The only thing you two have to worry about is why someone isn't getting his job done. I'm sure you've found from personal experience that when you don't orgasm, you feel some pain for quite some time. The same thing is happening to your girlfriend. The best way to fix this would be for you to work harder to ensure that she is receiving as much pleasure as you are. The happier the girl is with the sexual experience, the more likely she is to enhance your experience
?
At the end of last school year this girl and I decided to take a break over the summer since we live so far apart. Now we want to see if things can work out again this school year. Any tips for making things work this time around?
-Mike, Senior
Brian: The first thing that you need to do is to find out what her wants and needs are. Don't assume that what you had last school year is going to smoothly continue into this upcoming semester. She's going to want to know what, (and who), you've been doing this summer. Be sure that you are completely honest with her and be understanding and respectful of her decision. Maybe things won't work out for a romantic relationship
between you, but there still might be a great friendship in the making.
Jessica: I commend you both for being mature and realistic about summer and its consequences. Tips: be prepared for her to have become attached to any summer flings or old boyfriends she may have reunited with in your absence. Know that things change and she may have changed her mind about seeing you again. Who knows? Maybe she lost her hotness or a leg or maybe she's grown quite fond of her old best friend Sam... antha. Just brace yourself for anything she might throw your way.

How we met
J.D. and Allison
Kit Leffler/ Jayplay photographer
Usually when our friends take our love lives into their own hands, nothing comes of it but embarrassment. But Allison Traylor, Overland Park, senior, has some matchmaking friends who led her straight to love.
Last August, Allison and a few friends went for some cocktails at On The Border, where J.D. Nighswonger, Overland Park, senior, served as their waiter. The two ogled each other all night. So when they went to pay, Allison's friends handed J.D. a napkin with her name and number scribbled on it.
A text message and a year later, the two remain happily coupled. When asked who wears the pants in the relationship, Allison and J.D. each smile and reply, "We both do." Ah, a match made in Tex Mex.

WHY MEN LOVE Bitches
Once you feel like biting the women in your life, you can make that happen.
SHEBERT WALLIS
Love source Men don't fear the tigress
I don't mind being a bitch. I did at first. But then I realized there's nothing wrong being an assertive woman who speaks her mind. That's why the book Why Men Love Bitches by Sherry Argov is so perfect. Learn why men actually prefer a strong woman opposed to the woman who just agrees with with him everything, which in turn, sacrifices herself. This book gives you straight answers and tells women that it is actually OK to be yourself. You can pick up this guide at any bookstore or www.amazon.com for about $15.

What it truly means to be a Jayhawk
By Erin Shipps, Jayplay writer
It's tryout day for Big Jay and Baby Jay. Every year, former mascots judge a competition for a select few who will be chosen to don the costumes and become the birds. It is obvious who is trying out for what in the Student Recreation Center because of the stark contrast in height. Big Jay can be anywhere from 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet 2 inches and Baby Jay is usually 4 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 2 inches. Eight people - five Big and three Babies, a small crowd for tryouts are all walking to warm up. Cat Jarzemkoski, spirit squad coordinator, enters and keeps her distance from the "smelly" uniforms as she begins to measure students. To be picked, a student also has to fit into Big and Baby Jay's uniforms. The applicants struggle to get into the padded undergarments of Baby's bulging belly and Big's bulging biceps. After that, they slide into the furry blue suits and try to put on their big, yellow shoes - which is challenging considering they can't see their feet. Then, they strap on the heads of the birds and take off on their first steps out of the nest. The Baby Jays are skipping, hugging and holding hands, as Big Jay struts his stuff. Someone forgot to pack one of Baby Jay's tailpieces and one of the former mascots referred to its rear end as a saggy diaper. After all, Baby Jay is still a toddler. And it takes on the mentality of a three year old: innocent,
mischievous and known to throw a tantrum of two. Big Jay, on the other hand, is Baby's adult friend and protector. He rules the world.
During tryouts, the birds perform the smooth motions of the Rock Chalk chant, execute the fast-paced kicks of the fight song, perform and original skit and, or course, improv. One of the funniest skits was "Baby Jay's Three Favorite Movies:" Napoleon Dynamite's show-stopping dance performance, a bathtub scene with fighting shampoo and conditioner from Billy Madison and a dancing scene with Patrick Swayze from Dirty Dancing.
For the improv, the judged asks the birds to act as if they are being attacked by bees, hit in the head by a kid with a baseball bat, thrown into a swimming pool and walking on the moon. The improv is a test of how well each applicant reacts and animates themselves on the spot.
History
The term "mascot" originated in the late 1800s with a comedic French opera called La Mascotte, by Edmond Audran. The play focused on a farm girl who -- as long as she remained a virgin -- brought good luck to whomever possessed her. In 1882, the opera played in Boston's Gaiety Theatre, charming the high societies of Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Thus, the term "mascot" became known as a person, animal or figure that brought fortune.
Before universities adopted mascots as their symbols, many were known for their colors. Harvard is usually credited for being first when it took on crimson as its school color, says Roy Yarbrough, who Sports Illustrated has called the "Guru of Mascotology." In 1929, The University of Illinois was the first school to have a character as a defining symbol. It chose a Native American to dress in costume.
Once schools began organizing sports teams, it was only natural that mascots - the entertaining, good-luck charms of university athletics also grew in popularity. Many mascots were invented by the power of the press. For example, in 1893, the University of Richmond chose the spider as its mascot when The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that pitcher Puss Ellyson with his flailing arms and legs looked like a spider. Some universities even used real animals as their mascots, such as the University of Georgia, which adopted the Bulldog, the beloved pet of one of its coaches, as its mascot. However, once schools realized that animals needed a lot of attention, they converted to using people in costumes, which isn't cheap."Mascots started with students dressing up in school colors, or whatever they had lying around," Yarbrough says. "Now costumes cost anywhere from $4,000 to $40,000."
Mascots are marketable and
bring in big money for universities. Commercial entities pay $100 an hour plus mileage for up to two hours of our own Big Jay and Baby Jay. Ohio State University has sold $3 million worth of memorabilia thanks to mascots, according to Yarbrough.
So what makes mascots so popular? Part of the reason is that people can touch mascots while they're not allowed to touch the players. Mascots show school identity and act as role models for children.
The term "Jayhawk" goes back to the mid-1800s, when the border between Missouri and Kansas became a battleground. The term "Jayhawkers" refers to Kansans who would cross the border, steal, loot and free slaves.The Jayhawk itself is an odd cross between a bluejay, known to ransack the nests of other birds and attack much bigger animals; and, a sparrow hawk, known for its hunting. The Jayhawk's image has changed since its first drawing in 1912 when the cross-legged, smiling figure peculiarly began wearing shoes. It was replaced in 1920, 1923,1929 and 1941."Jay," the first live mascot, didn't come about until the 1960s, and "Baby Jay" hatched onto the 50-yard line during a football game in 1971.

Bird Brains
Most of this year's mascots say they never noticed Big Jay and Baby Jay until they thought about trying out. Chelsea Demars, Keller, Texas, graduate, says she used to hug the mascots and thought they were funny, but also thought they stunk. She never imagined being inside one. After two years of giving spirit to Baby Jay, she now has respect and a cool perspective on all the personalities at sporting events. "I see them all, from rowdy people who beat me up to kind children."
The mascots have various reasons for why they wanted to, literally, become Jayhawks. Demars and Kate Eichten, Topeka, graduate both around 5 feet 2 inches, say their height influenced them to try out. "There's not a lot you can do when you're short," she says. Jesse Plous, Leawood, senior, and Big Jay for one year, was overcome by the spirit of the Jayhawk at Traditions Night. Among the thousands of students, Plous found himself singing the alma mater and swaying arm in arm with complete strangers. "I knew then there was something different, something special, and I realized how proud I was to be a Jayhawk," Plous says.
Bird's Eye View
The mascots love what they do but wearing the costume isn't always the best part of the job.The mascots have a totally different experience than most students while attending games.The suit is not the most comfortable thing to wear. As Nick Erker, Wellington, graduate student, and Big Jay for two years puts it, "It's really, really, really hot." Even while it might be 30 or 40 degrees outside, it is still around 100 degrees in the suit, he says. The birds have to be in constant motion, which is like working out in a fur coat with weights in it. The heads are heavy. They reduce normal vision about 90 percent. The mascots have a lot of trouble walking down stairs and often plow over kids who run up and grab their legs.
Before games, the mascots have an adrenaline rush. Demars thinks about looking peppy, which she says is hard, especially if she's hungover. She is always thinking about being more animated and making people laugh. Elaine Jardon, Overland Park, junior, hopes she remembers the complicated pre-game routine but also says there is some goofing off before the game. "Most of the time we're just messing around," she says. "Unless the suit is not all there and then it's a wild goose chase to find Baby Jay's left wing or something. Then we're all laughing and trying to find it." For this reason, Tim Welch, Salina, junior, says he always has a checklist in his head before a game. With gloves, shoes, tail and all, it's a lot to remember. Erker just hopes the team wins. "It's hard to be peppy when we're losing," he says.
During games, the mascots mostly concentrate on not yelling and actually paying attention to their surroundings. Each of the mascots have a loud voice. But youd never hear it on the football field, the basketball court or the baseball diamond, because Big Jay and Baby Jay have to keep their mouths shut. The atmosphere of a game is much like an obstacle course for mascots. Plous says he primarily looks for hazards like small children and steps, then checks on how the team is doing and then tries to remember to wave to the crowd occasionally. After games, the mascots fight their way through a sea of people wanting pictures and autographs to make a mad dash for water, air and a shower.
At first glance the Jayhawk might not seem like the toughest mascot around. But it has a mean streak. Unfortunately, not all mascots are created equal. Here are some mascots that don't stand a chance in the world.
Being a mascot means never having a dull moment — and the mascots have many funny stories to share. Demars remembers in her first year as Baby Jay when the University of South Carolina's Gamecock got a little feisty. Demars ran away, but when Big Jay innocently went to say hello, the Gamecock started wailing on him. Erker will always remember his first appearance as Big Jay at the opening of a hair parlor because he had to jump on a trampoline with girls from the

Women of KU calendar. Anonymity that comes with wearing the costumes allows the mascots to do things they wouldn't normally do. Eichten says she once accosted a Mizzou fan who was wearing a "hideous" tiger cowboy hat. She wiped her armpits with the hat and threw it down the stairs.
— Compiled by Erin Shipps
Plous was doing the circle run before the end of halftime of a women's basketball game versus Iowa State. He was rounding the half-court circle with Baby when his beak — from which he sees — was suddenly filled with Iowa State uniforms. He decided to get out of the way and speed up, only to see a giant number 23 fill his vision. He remembers hitting the floor and thinking "What the heck did I run into?" Turns out it was then junior guard, Erica Hallman. The whole place when silent as the two crashed and the announcer said, "Whoa, I hope Big Jay can recover from that one!"
Birds of a Feather
Mascots are not wannabe cheerleaders who couldn't make it. They are mascots to be mascots.They are a different breed."Mascots are not normal," says Jarzemkoski. "They say if you have ADHD you'd be a great mascot. These people have an even higher energy level out of suit than in it." They also wish fans understood that they can't always hear or see them."Sometimes people chase us down, screaming at us and we don't hear them until they're right behind us;" Jardon says. They also wish people wouldn't take their heads off or punch them in the head because it hurts even through the costume. "People get excited
and don't think," Erker says about his very first football game when a punch left a dent in Big Jay's head.
Bringing Big Jay and Baby Jay to life is hard work, but all the mascots say it's worth it. "There's nothing else like it, I get to be goofy, see places and it blows my mind," Jardon says. Welch says his private appearances make it worthwhile for him. He recently went to a preschool where the kids looked up to him — metaphorically and literally.
For future generations of mascots, one past Big Jay offers some words of wisdom: "Exaggerate everything and live life to the fullest, because normal actions just don't cut it," he says. He graduated last May and says his last time out as Big Jay during pre-game last year on Senior Day was just as exciting as his first. "I was in awe," he says. "Even more so than being in Madison Square Garden, I realized the importance of who I was. I looked up at the 16,000 fans in Allen Fieldhouse and felt chills run up my back."

The art of finding wall art
Tired of seeing the same cityscapes, movie posters and wine ads from the poster sale on your walls? Here's how to do something original with your walls By Donovan
It's the beginning of a new semester and you just moved in to your new digs. Whether it's a residence hall, scholarship hall, apartment or house, one thing's for certain: your walls are empty. And while the annual poster sale at the Kansas Union may seem like a great way to fill up those plain white walls, it isn't terribly original. Do you really want to have the same John Belushi "College" poster as everyone else on campus? Here are a few suggestions on how to fill your walls with your personality.
Make your own
One of the simplest ways to make your own wall art is to use a canvas. Pre-made canvases are available at craft and hobby stores like Hobby Lobby and Michael's. Prices vary by size, but a small canvas will usually cost about $7 and larger sizes cost close to $50. Artist's canvases can be hung with or without a frame and can support a wide variety of media—paint, decopage or even pastel.
But if you're not sure your artistic talents are up to par, don't worry. Chris Deman, owner of Crafty & Company, 918 Massachusetts Street, says there are alternatives 10 Jayplay 8.18.05
12 | Jayplay 8.18.05
to painting. Recovering a canvas with a large piece of decorative fabric works just as well. She also recommends using patterned paper as decoration, either hanging the paper directly on the wall or even framing it.
Skip the poster sale
While the poster sale will offer some great pieces, after you go to a few house parties, you'll start to see those same great pieces all over town. Instead of buying from the poster sale, take a look around Lawrence for other places to buy great art.
Lawrence's local galleries are a great resource for original art. Jill Kleinhans, owner of the Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. Eighth Street, says that she decorates her own home with pieces she has bought from the gallery. She stresses the importance of buying art that you like. "Buy art that speaks to you, not because it matches you duvet cover at the time," she says.
Galleries aren't the only places you can go. Deman has a collection of old paint by number paintings that she found at second hand stores hanging in her home and she
Atkinson, Jayplay writer frequently buys art from antique stores and thrift shops. When buying art second hand, she suggests buying art along a common theme, such as landscapes. You can mask the lower quality pieces by having a lot of pieces and it will create impact, she says.
"Scottish Juniors"
"Little John Junior"
White walls no more
Unless your lease absolutely forbids it, try painting your walls if you can't find the right pieces to hang on them. Deman painted a room in her house in varying shades of yellow, making it appear that there is always a light shining on one wall because of the
ligher shade. There are also paints that you can use that will turn any surface into a chalk board or make any surface magnetic.
Whatever you decide to do, do what makes you happy and lets you express yourself. "It's kind of important to have art," Deman says. "It makes your room homier and shows your identity."

What is a Jayhawk?
KL
Kit Leffter/ Jayplay photographer
During the Bleeding Kansas days in the 1850s, "jayhawker" was the name given to a Free Stater by pro-slavery advocates. Eventually, the name lost it's negative connotation and was embraced by Lawrencians as a term of endearment. The actual bird is mythical and is a hybrid of two common birds found in the area: the hawk and the bluejay. It became KU's official mascot in 1912, replacing the Bulldog.

Kit Leffler/ Jayplay photographer
Rock Chalk chant
E. H.S Bailey, professor of chemistry in 1886, came up with the cadence and rhythm of the chant listening to the sounds of a train he was traveling on. Originally, the words to the chant were "Rah Rah Jayhawk, KU" repeated three times. Eventually, an english professor suggested a change to "Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU"-a juxtaposition of the words in chalk rock, a type of limestone found around Mt. Oread.

Astro's 601 Kasold Drive
A bar in Lawrence with no pretense is something of a rarity these days, and that's exactly what makes Astro's, 601 Kasold Dr., so unique. A bar that appeals both to the roughand-tumble blue collar crowd (just go to the bar on any weekday night for evidence of this) along with the fraternity crowd that tends to frequent the place on weekends, locally-owned Astro's appeals to a variety of Lawrencians. Sure, there are a handful of regulars at Astro's (as with many bars)—typically seen drinking Bud Lights after getting off work on a Monday or Tuesday night—but with its numerous pool tables and the Japanese restaurant Kokoro's next door, this bar attracts a younger crowd as well. Bar patron and senior in Aerospace Engineering Jon Lusk says the atmosphere of the bar is really relaxed. "You can take shots with the bartenders," Lusk says.

MARCH OF
THE PENGUINS
March of the Penguins is a tale of true love, struggle for survival, murder and suspense. It sounds like a typical summer movie, except this
time it's real. And it's not cheesy, loud or any other adjective used to describe a Jerry Bruckheimer-like movie, (National Treasure, Armageddon, The Rock). But March of the Penguins has heart.
This National Geographic film (don't be scared, it's not like the films you watched in grade school)
tells the story of the emperor penguin; one of the few creatures to have chosen to make its home on the freezing and desolate continent of Antarctica.The film follows these squat, but adorable birds as they leave the ocean and head for a place to meet their mate. A courtship follows and soon an egg hatches. Watching, as the two new parents take turns taking care of their egg could move any one with a pulse. But what I found most compelling was the cinematography; the way the camera zooms in on this eonold ritual feels almost invasive.The film does seem a tad overlong but what movie isn't these days (Ahem, Wedding Crashers)? But this isn't something we have ever seen before and when they throw in a dash of Morgan Freeman narration even if the last line could belong to a Jerry Bruckheimer movie). You've just witnessed a movie actually worthy of your summer time.

THE DUKES OF HAZZARD
AUGUST 8
T h e Dukes of Hazzard tells a simple tale: Bo (Seann William Scott), Luke (Johnny Knoxville), and the General Lee (a car) combine
forces to save Hazzard County from the unlikely stratagems of Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds, playing him just right).
Of course, the plot is just a showcase for Bo and Luke's good faith efforts to kill themselves, as well as anyone who has the bad luck to be on the same road as the
General Lee. The result plays like a children's adventure film, only with swearing and cleavage.
Most of the cleavage belongs to Jessica Simpson, who gives a serviceable performance as poutlipped Daisy Duke. Contrary to what the previews may have lead you to believe, her role is a small one.
-Kit Fluker
Despite stunt casting, (Simpsor. and Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse) Hazzard never becomes self-referential. There's a refreshing lack of pop culture references or show-stopping celebrity cameos. Instead, the film passes the time with car crashes, exploding moonshine and two good oil' boys making fools of themselves. The Dukes of Hazzard is enjoyable because it never pretends to be more than it is: an hour and forty-six minute car chase.

☆☆☆
off those cowgirl boots for some diva-chic heels on 2002's Cry. Likewise, 2005's Fireflies is about as predictable, riding the countrified trends rather than setting them, all in typical Faith fashion.
Lyrically, Hill is in an identity crisis. Is she the disappointed and emotionally distraught housewife of suburbia ("If You Ask," "Stealing Kisses")? Is she the slightly patriotic and politically aware mother ("We've Got Nothing but Love to Prove"), the dreamer
("Fireflies"), or the pre-pubescent twelve-year old girl, pining over lost love by scribbling poems into her diary ("Like We Never Loved At All")? It's a mess, largely due to the fact that Fireflies is the collective work of about twenty different songwriters. The album, much like its predecessors, fails to answer the question; just who is this Faith Hill, and what does she believe?
The "auto-biographical" lead single, "Mississippi Girl," co-written by John Rich (of Big & Rich fame) and Adam Shoenfeld, confirms just about everything we already knew of Hill. She's a down-home southern girl from Star, Miss., who likes to sing and make millions of dollars. It's about as telling as Jennifer Lopez's laughable "Jenny
From the Block," only you believe Hill's version. Not to mention "... girl" is musically decent, with a driving drum and bass guitar intro that sounds even better live.
Hill truly breaks out once, on the Warren brothers' penned "The Lucky One," a fine piece of up-beat, no-worries, hand-clap country-pop, heavy on the sunshine and summertime fizz typical of such songs — songs which generally contain more saccharine sweetness than genuine fun. In this case it works brilliantly and nothing comes as close, though the barn-raisin' stomp of "Dearly Beloved" is darn good fun while it lasts. Disappointingly, it's a case that sums up much of what is here: country-pop songs with just
enough hook and spot-on vocals to sell, though mostly forgettable and hardly filling.
Hill has yet to realize the full potential of her artistry. But those pipes, which have trimmed off the diva-like histrionics of 2002's Cry in favor of a more subtle, southernbellow, just seem to sweeten with age. With Fireflies, Hill delivers her most consistent and countrified work yet and perhaps raises the bar of expectation, leading hopefuls to believe something truly great is in the pipeline. For now, Hill's legions of fans will not be disappointed. Fireflies will sell like hotcakes. And she's just so darn nice, who cares if it does?

FASHION Chris' Closet
Hey boys and girls! I want to give a 'Hollal' to all freshmen and other newcomers to campus. Readers, especially Jayplay regulars, are probably wondering who the hell I am. I am Chris. Think of me as your very own campus fashion-policeman. This column is a fashion review and each week you'll find all the fashion
suggestions you need to know like fashion hoorays and no-no's, trendy hot spots for every style and fashionista guildines containing all of the critical
information necessary your perfect shopping experience.
I
Today, I'm going to fill you in on some high-fashion items that you can translate into back-to-school style.
Girls: Ladies, if there is one thing ya'll got going for you, it's the fact that you can shop practically anywhere and still find cute, chic clothing (Oh, how I envy you!). So use this to your advantage, damnit! Drop the 'I can't afford it' excuses, because, Honey, even Wal-
Mart has some cute stuff. Take note to spend more on jeans since they are essential to the female wardrobe. But spend a little less on shirts. Try solid camisoles and tanks, which are great for layering. Look for runway inspired Mardi Gras colors (purple, turquoise and gold) for your ensembles. Flashy flip flops embroidered with sequins and jewels are great too. Lastly, accessories are key for a girl this fall. Try shimmery gold or silver bracelets and chunky beaded necklaces. A versatile handbag is a must too. Look for one that is large and funky with jewels and sequins like the flashy flip-flops.
Guys: Guys, you're a little easier. Jean styles are shifting towards a more fitted look. So a regular-rise waist or a low-rise (if you're courageous), will work with a boot cut. This will give you guys a nice looking waist and long, lean-looking legs. If you want to accentuate the bottom, try a form-fitting, vintage, graphic tee or a three quarter-lengths shirt. Then pair it with some sporty flip-flops.
Tip of the Week: Try on your clothes before you buy. Need I say more?

GAMES
ADVENTURE
PIRATES!
Sid Meier's Pirates for Xbox
Although the plot for Sid Meier's Pirates is pretty standard fare as adventures go — your family is split up by an evil baron and a young son escapes and must avenge and find his family — the game is incredibly addictive. You start out as a 20-year-old captain of a sloop who must recruit a crew, get your ship in shape and find your family. You can align yourself with four different
countries which slightly affect the way you play the game. No matter which country you align with, you still are a pirate and you determine who to attack. There are different outposts and towns in which to enlist crew members, fix your ship, trade with merchants and even woo the daughter of the governor (who will promote you based upon you're your alignment). The game plays like a combination of several different mini-games, as opposed to a linear story adventure, and I couldn't put it down. If you agree with me that Xbox has been sorely lacking in quality pirate games, check this one out. Get it at EB Games and Hastings for $39.99.

Maybe home really is where the heart is... if by "heart" you mean "mob of guys who like breaking stuff"
By Robert Perkins, Jayplay writer
I'm a senior and I still live in student housing.
It sounds kind of sad, doesn't it? Every time I tell someone I've just met where I live, I get pretty much the same response: "Oh... really?" they ask, with a mixture of amusement and pity on their faces. I suddenly feel the need to justify it somehow, to explain why I never hatched out of my scholarship hall and into the real world of apartments and houses.
"My friends never left, so I stayed," I offer, which is really only sort of true. Some of my friends did stay over the years. Some of them left. Some new ones moved in as I got older.
My home is Stephenson Scholarship Hall. I don't remember clearly the point at which Stephenson supplanted my house in St. Louis as my home. Maybe it was when I realized that between school, archaeological digs, journalism internships and spring/fall break trips, I only really spent a few weeks out of the year in St. Louis, while I spend months living in Stephenson. Maybe it was when my hallmates became closer friends to me than the guys I grew up with. Or maybe it was just the morning in St. Louis when I spent ten groggy minutes after waking up trying to find my flip flops only to realize that at the pristine hotel that is my parents' house, one doesn't need foot protection to shower.
My parents have tried to get me to move into an apartment for years. Stephenson is a dirty, fetid hole of a place. The rooms are shoebox-sized, the food is usually terrible (when you have a hall director who actually bothers to order it) and the residents have a destructive streak a mile wide. My friends from St. Louis who visit from time
to time say it's like living in the frat from Animal House.
I was probably the only person in the world to have moved into Stephenson knowing full well what I was getting into. Everyone else either didn't get their first pick of halls or just wrote Stephenson down as their top choice arbitrarily (like my roommate Steve, who did it for his namesake).
The men of Stephenson are known as the "Bastard Sons of Lyle" – or Lylemen – because the man who built our hall, Lyle Stephenson, died during the construction and his wife cut all of our funding. As a result, we're in the only hall without an endowment, the money used to help Housing take care of the building. When I was a freshman, it was the last hall still lacking air-conditioning. The wiring had gone bad so there were constant brown-outs. Housing hadn't installed sprinklers yet, and I distinctly remember the fireman who came to talk to us about hall fire safety, joking that if we were ever woken up by a fire alarm we should just go back to sleep – in a real fire, we were all screwed anyway.
to the University of Kansas before I did and used to tell me about all of the pranks the guys pulled and all the trouble they caused. For my high school graduation, my future brother-in-law - a previous resident of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall - bought me a water gun for all the Thursday-night water fights. My friends from back home had always been involved in whatever harmless trouble there was to cause around town, so I couldn't imagine any place where I'd fit in better. I knew I'd made the right choice when, on my first night in Lawrence, I came back from Unionfest with a mob of Lylemen triumphantly holding a stolen palm tree decoration over their heads and there was a police car sitting in front of my hall already.
I moved into Stephenson because of all of the stories my sister told me about Lylemen. She went
This isn't to say that I never got tired of living in student housing. For example, right now I'm sitting at my computer, writing this at the last possible minute (as always), and there are five other people crammed into my tiny room loudly cheering as they play Mariokart. It's not the easiest place to get work done. It's also not ideal for bringing girls home. Most of the girls I've brought back have been appalled by the conditions and annoyed by
the guys, many of whom still see drunken defecation in the second floor bathroom's urinals as the absolute height of humor.
All of that aside, I wouldn't trade the time I've spent in Stephenson Hall for anything. While my friends who have moved off campus often complain to me about how lonely they get, I've always had more friends right here than I know what to do with. They're fun to hang out with, especially if you like playing soccer on a sheet of ice, pegging fratties with balloons from a waterballoon launcher or dropping flaming couches off of the fire escape. They're generous; anyone who needs tools to build a loft, books for Western Civ. or pirated software doesn't have to look farther than a couple doors down the hall. And most of all, they're loyal, as I found out when my roommate roused an angry mob of Lylemen to come fight the entirety of Battenfeld Hall the time he thought I'd been caught stealing food there.
That, of course, is the irony. I remember hearing a couple of years ago from the old proctor that a Housing official - frustrated by the 42 holes we managed to put into the hallway walls with a baseball bat - had told him that if he could, he'd kick everyone out of Stephenson and replace them completely with a crop of new, presumably more docile guys. He may have just gotten his wish. At the end of last semester, Housing removed 35 of the 50 residents, claiming that they are a bad influence on the community. What they don't realize is that the thing that makes Stephenson great is its residents, destructive and immature though they may be sometimes.
In the end, that is what I have come to realize after living in Stephenson for four years and what has really kept me here so long. When I leave, it's not the moldy showers and hallway clogged with dirty dishes that I'll remember, it's the people. If this decaying old building really has become my home, then the guys who live inside it have become my family. 8.18.05 Jayplay |19

CRIME
Student kidnapped driven to KC airport
BY STEPHEN LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN WRITE WRITER
Kansas City International Airport police arrested a man on charges of kidnapping a 21-year-old KU student Aug. 14.
The man is suspected of kidnapping the student, who asked that her identity not be revealed, from her home and driving her to the airport between 12:30 and 4 a.m. on Aug. 14, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department, citing a police report released yesterday.
The suspect, whose name is unavailable, choked the victim and forced her into a vehicle, which he drove to the airport, Ward said.
Another 21-year-old KU student, who also asked that her identity not be revealed, witnessed the battery in the residence and notified police after the victim and the suspect did not return to the house, the witness said.
"She said she would call me in two minutes and that was the last I heard from her," the witness said. "Then I called the police."
The suspect became angry after they finished a drinking game, but then the witness left to take a phone call in another room, she said.
While on the phone, the witness heard muffled arguing between the suspect and victim. When she finished her phone conversation, she found the victim in her bedroom without the suspect, she said.
"I came in and she told me, in tears and holding her neck, that he hurt her and left," the witness said.
She said she would call me in two minutes and that was the last I heard from her."
The witness
Shortly after, the suspect and the victim exchanged phone calls, she said. The victim said she would leave to search for the suspect in her vehicle, the witness said.
The suspect and the victim have been in a relationship for one year, the witness said. The victim declined comment.
Then the victim told the witness that she saw the suspect approaching the car and told the witness she would call back in two minutes, the witness said. The victim did not call back.
"I said If you pick him up I'm going to call the police," the witness said.
The victim left the residence in her vehicle and the women agreed to speak on their cell phones, the witness said.
There are no details about how the suspect gained control of the victim's automobile or how they ended up at the airport. He left the victim in the car and entered the airport, Ward said.
Alone in the car, the victim asked the first person she saw for help. Ward said. That person then contacted airport police, who apprehended the suspect. Ward said.
The suspect also damaged the victim's cell phone, valued at $100.

The University of Kansas has a new meningitis vaccination policy, which took effect at the start of this semester.
The policy now requires all students living in KU Department of Student Housing buildings to receive the vaccine, provide written documentation of immunization or sign a waiver saying they willingly chose not to be immunized. Those buildings include residence halls, scholarship halls and Jayhawker Towers.
The new policy strongly recommends that students living in group housing not administered by the University, such as fraternities, sororities
Meningitis vaccine now required
and Naismith Hall, receive the vaccine. The policy also encourages all other students to consider vaccination.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "What you need to know" flier, meningitis is an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Ten to 15 percent of meningitis victims die. Another 11 to 19 percent either lose limbs, become deaf, have problems with their nervous systems or suffer from mental disabilities, seizures or strokes.
Students living in the residence halls have an increased risk of contracting the disease because the bacteria that causes meningitis can spread to other people who have had close or prolonged contact with a person who has meningitis, according to the CDC's meningococcal disease Web site.
"We have had a huge campaign over the past several months," said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "Our Wellness Resource Center has been sending out information packets canpuswide."
Erin Loehr, Overland Park freshman, said she got the vaccine before she came to school after hearing about someone getting the disease last year.
"It wasn't that bad," she said. "It

Cameras on campus offer increased safety
BY STEPHEN LYNN
slyn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
They are perched above, and if you haven't craned your neck recently to catch a glimpse, you may not have noticed them. But they have noticed you.
The University of Kansas has almost finished installing security cameras in phase one of its project to make campus safer, said Chief Ralph Oliver of the KU Public Safety Office.
"We're about 90 percent finished," Oliver said.
A new security camera surveys the grounds around Daisy Hill. Cameras have been installed on the hill, at Jayhawker Towers, and the Lied Center during the first phase of a two-phase project to increase security around campus.
Taylor Miller/KANSAN
But some students doubt their effectiveness on a campus the size of the University.
University officials agreed that the installation of the cameras will serve a dual purpose: to make campus safer and to eventually improve parking efficiency.
"There are so many people on campus, it would be hard to catch a person," said Veronica Jacobs, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore and Jayhawker Towers resident. "But it's a good step."
Networking and Telecommunications Systems began equipping Daisy Hill, Jayhawker Towers, GSP-Corbin Hall and the Lied Center with cameras in the beginning of July, in what is called phase one of the two-phase project. Cameras already located at Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium were upgraded, Oliver said.
The University has provided $280,000 for the project, and the Department of Homeland Security has provided $150,000, said Captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety office.
Cameras outside the Kansas Union, Watson Library and the Student Recreation Fitness Center would be installed in phase two of the project, Oliver said. Phase two cameras would be installed as funding becomes available, said Rhonda Birdsong, administrator at the KU Public Safety Office.
Sparing crime
"This was the best way to enhance security instead of putting more manpower on the street." Oliver said.
The cameras aren't meant solely to prevent crimes in progress, though students will monitor the cameras at random times, Oliver said.
The cameras would help deter and prosecute violent crimes at the University, Oliver said. Three violent attacks since October 2003 played a major role in the decision to install them, Oliver said
Chancellor Robert Hemenway requested that students be used, Birdsong said. The monitoring would be a paid position, she said.
For students worried about fellow students peering into their private lives, the computers used for monitoring have a function in the software that can "gray" windowpanes, making them opaque, Oliver said.
Some students still dislike the idea of being constantly observed.
"I think it's great they're trying to make the parking lot safer, but a feeling of paranoia might result," Shad Morton, Garden Plain freshman and Oliver resident, said.
The cameras are "pan, tilt, zoom" and are capable of close-up shots, though Birdsong would not offer any information concerning resolution, she said.
Officials hoped the cameras would discourage people from committing property crime, as well. Oliver said. Most of the cameras cover parking lots, where automobile thieves thrive, but Oliver would not indicate the number and locations of the cameras.
"That's too much information for the bad guys," he said.
Students shouldn't become complacent. The cameras add a single level of security and should not be seen as a sweeping measure of safety, Oliver said.
Signs would be placed in general areas informing people they are in an area under security, Birdsong said.
Open spaces
While the cameras may enhance security on campus, they also may increase efficiency in campus parking lots.
Donna Hultine, director of KU parking, said she would use the cameras to determine whether lots were full.
"When somebody calls me on a cell phone saying 'I can't find a space' I'll say 'go to this lot,'" she said.
If the department decides to follow the recommendations of the study conducted by the Philadelphia-based consulting firm Chance Management Advisors to restrict cars to specific lots instead of the "hunter's license" method used currently then the cameras would be less useful, Hultine said.
Though the cameras can capture close-up shots of objects, Hultine said the department would not use the software to enforce parking regulations, she said. Parking attendants would still perform regular duties.
Parking officials didn't have access to the software yet because the installation isn't complete, Hultine said.

G. Baley Price taught mathematics at the University of Kansas from 1937-1975. Price recently set up a $100,000 endowment with Spencer Research Library for archival research.
...
G. Baley Price, 100, greets Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment Association, August 8th. Price, a distinguished professor emeritus in mathematics, gave a $100,000 endowment for archival research at the Spencer Research Library.

The poster still hangs over the shoulder of the man who helped revolutionize how math is taught in America. It's been five months since G. Baley Price turned 100 on March 14, but the giant paper has stayed up. "Happy Birthday Grandpa Price. A century ... and still counting."
He is the man who brought the first computer to the University of Kansas, helped the U.S. Air Force improve bomb accuracy during World War II and once served as president of the Mathematical Association of America,
Not only is he still living, he's still giving to the University.
On Aug. 8, at a ceremony held in the Spencer Research Library, Price signed a paper marking a $100,000 endowment to the library for archival research.
In his residence at room 117 of Presbyterian Manor, 1429 Kasold, this week, Price sat in his blue recliner, dapper in a sport coat and tie with his daughter, Lucy Price, at his side, and looked back on a few significant episodes from a prolific career.
By 1943, as the United States was deciding to enter World War II, Price had established himself as a leading intellectual in mathematics. One day, then-KU Chancellor Deane Malott told him that the Pentagon had contacted him and wanted Price to fly overseas to use his mathematical knowledge to help the Air Force.
Price was born in 1905 and earned his bachelor's degree in 1925 from Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss. He received his doctorate from Harvard University in 1932 and, after a short stay at Brown University, started his 38-year career at the University in 1937.
Price was originally told that he'd be sent to the South Pacific, he said, but by the time he talked it over with his wife, the late Cora Lee Price, an educated woman who would later teach English and classics at the University, the assignment was filled. Instead, the government sent Price to England to help the Eighth Air Force improve its bombing accuracy.
"We tried to make more bombs fall on targets," he said.
In 1945, after the Allies defeated German, Price returned home and resumed his job at the University. But as soon as the war ended, the Cold War began and the United States government put pressure on the scientific community to race past the Russians.
When the Soviet satellite Sputnik was launched on Oct. 4, 1957, America realized the capabilities of the Russians and the U.S. government pushed scientists and mathematicians to develop better ways to teach.
As the president of the Mathematical Association of America from 1957-58, Price worked with
the nation's leading math teachers to develop the School Mathematics Study Group. The group worked on developing "New Math," a style of teaching math in U.S. schools, and Price traveled the country to educate teachers on this new style of teaching math.
"It was a high-powered effort," he said.
Around the same time in 1957, Price brought the first computer to the University. He said he talked to a friend of his at the National Science Foundation and was able to obtain a $40,000 grant for the University to buy its first computer. An IBM 650. The primitive machine was installed in the basement of Strong Hall and took up an entire room. Price said.
"It produced so much heat that it was necessary to build a pipe through the window so the room wouldn't overheat," he said.
Price could easily fill a large set of books with stories of his contribution to math in America. In fact, he has written multiple textbooks. He has also donated his personal papers to the Spencer Research Library, where they are still available for public viewing.
Before his wife died in late 2004, Price set up a $500,000 professorship in her name. The money was matched by the Hall family of Kansas City.
This fall, the University filled the Cora Lee Beers Price Teaching Professorship in International Cultural Understanding for the first time. The chosen professor, Devon Mihesuah, came from Northern Arizona University and is teaching a class in indigenous studies.
"That fact that this is going into
indigenous studies is very,very important for this university," Miheusah said.
At 11 a.m. on Wednesday, it was time for Lucy, the third of Price's six children, to help him into a wheelchair and take him to dinner. His mind is still intact, but his diet and sleeping habits have changed.
"I am 100-plus years old," he said. "I guess the emphasis belongs on old. I'm not as well as I used to be, but two of my daughters live in town here."
enamedle Jayhawk pinned onto a sports jacket Lucy brought out from his closet. He rubbed the expensive pin, given to him a couple of years ago by Kim Wilcox, former dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Science. The gift was a symbol of appreciation for all Price has done for the University.
Before he wheeled off, Price had a gift to show off, a cloisonne-
"I traveled the country as dean," Wilcox said, "and it was very seldom that alumni didn't ask me about G. Baley Price. That's the impact he had on students."

NIGHTLIFE
Bull remodels, hopes to draw more well-rounded KU crowd
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Regulars at Bullwinkle's, 1344 Tennessee St., may notice a few changes at the bar this year.
Marley Polian took control of the bar, also called the Bull, and remodeled the inside of the establishment and increased the options for food and drink, in hopes of drawing a larger, more diverse crowd.
Not everyone is thrilled with the changes.
"We lost our homefield bar," said Chris Nelson, Overland Park sophomore and member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
Marley Polian and her husband, Kevin Polian, have owned Bullwinkle's for the past four years. Kevin maintained a controlling interest, but considered either selling it or shutting it
down, citing dwindling crowds over the past year and a half.
When Kevin Polian decided he did not want to deal with it anymore Marley Polian decided she wanted to give it a shot instead.
"I really have a lot of good memories from when I was in college and I wanted our family to continue to be a part of it," she said.
Both Polians discussed changing the name of the bar, but Marley Polian insisted on keeping the original name.
Kevin Polian thought the bar's only chance to rebound was to start from scratch. He encouraged his wife to broaden the clientele because the traditional crowd was no longer profitable.
"We're going to be doing pretty much all the same things the Bull did before except we're not going to alienate
people. We want it to be an allaround KU bar for all college students." Marley Polian said.
Remodeling, began in June and is an ongoing project.
The majority of changes made were inside, including painting the walls in tropical colors and giving the bar a tropical theme. Patrons are still encouraged to graffiti the walls.
"A lot of people before complained about it being dirty. It wasn't dirty, it just looked dirty because it was unfinished wood," Marley Polian said.
Along with the bar's remodeling, more brands of beer and a food item will be offered to patrons.
Hot dogs will be served from 6 p.m. until 3 a.m., when the bar closes. It stops serving alcohol at midnight.
In addition to Budweiser, Colors and Miller products, Corona, Miller High Life and Heineken
will be available.
They also now serve beer in flavors such as Pink Flamingo, Beach Bum and Green Apple.
Some regulars did not like the changes, but instead preferred the charm the Bull used to have.
Anthony Liolios, Overland Park sophomore, and a friend of Nelson, said he and others in Phi Delta Theta used to frequent Bullwinkle's but were not sure if that would continue.
"I liked how you could write whatever you wanted on the walls. Now all that history is wiped away," Liolios said.
Callie Penzler, Lawrence junior, thought the changes might attract customers.
"I think it would be interesting to see how they changed it and try the new flavors," she said.

FACULTY
Professors honored
"Surprise patrol" bestows six awards on honorees
BY GARY SOUZA
gousa@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A classroom of American studies students looked up in surprise as Chancellor Robert Hemenway, U.S. Representative Dennis Moore and a slew of media walked through the door of their classroom in Nunemaker Hall yesterday.
A representative from Commerce Bank of Lawrence and from the Kansas University Endowment Association accompanied Hemenway and Moore in presenting a Kemper Award to their professor, David Katzman, The group called themselves the "surprise patrol."
Katzman and Charles Marsh, professor of journalism, were the last of six professors to receive the award yesterday.
"American studies is the best department on campus, and it is indeed an honor to be among such distinguished faculty," Katzman said.
Students in Katzman's and
Marsh's classes were shocked when the visitors appeared.
Jenna Jaeger, Chicago freshman, is a student in Charles Marsh's "Media and Society" class. She said she was curious, at first, when the "surprise patrol" walked into the room. But after Marsh received the award, Jaeger said she was impressed.
The award, which is in its 10th year, was given as a surprise during the professors' classes. The Kemper Awards recognize good teaching with monetary awards of $5,000.
"We must have a great teacher," she said.
"It's always a good idea to recognize good teaching," Hemenway said.
The purpose of the annual awards, which come from the W.T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence, is to recognize excellent teaching and advising at the University of Kansas.
A seven-member selection committee will present awards to 20 professors through Aug.
29. Distribution began yesterday. Seventeen recipients are professors at the Lawrence campus, one is at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, one at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., and the other is a professor at the School of Nursing in Kansas City, Kan.
"The award is totally based on the merit of the instructor," Hemenway said.
The funding for the Kemper Awards is shared between the Kemper Foundation and the Endowment Association.
The Kemper Foundation donated $500,000 for the awards. The Endowment Association matched the amount.
The surprise patrol's first visit yesterday was to Jim Orr, professor of molecular biosciences. Janet Hamburg, professor of dance, David Petr, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and Stephen Egbert, associate professor of geography.

Loehr received information about meningitis in the mail and at orientation.
Natalie Timson, complex director of Oliver Hall, said students received a letter in their mailboxes from Watkins letting them know if they have complied with the new policy, and detailing the proper procedures. Failure to comply with the policy will result in a hold on a student's ability to enroll.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3A
"During our floor meetings we are addressing the vaccination and recommending it," Timson said.
Tempe Harty, manager of
Naismith Hall, said the offcampus hall did not require the vaccination or a waiver. But it is brought to residents' attention by their resident adviser at their first hall meeting.
Currently, there are two meningococcal vaccines available in the United States. The first, called meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine or MPSV4, has been available since the 1970s. The other, called meningococcal conjugate vaccine or MVC4, was licensed this year.
Denning said there are slight chemical differences in how the vaccines are designed. The newer vaccine is able to impart longer-lasting immunity - typically around 10 years—she said.
"Several large immunization programs nationwide have recommended that patients get this new vaccine," Denning said. "The demand is so great that the production can't keep up."
MVC4, the newer vaccine, is in short supply, because the manufacturer did such a great job advertising it, Denning said.
According to the flier, both vaccines work well, and protect about 90 percent of those who are vaccinated. MVC4 costs $93 and MPSV4 costs $73.

"A dark side is there, but now I think light is beginning to shine," Rader said. "Hopefully someday God will accept me."
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — BTK serial killer Dennis Rader was ordered yesterday to serve 10 consecutive life terms during a tear-filled hearing in which relatives of his victims called him a monster and said he should be "thrown in a deep, dark hole and left to rot."
Rader offered thanks to police, Biblical quotes and an apology to victims' relatives before he was sentenced. Some family members walked out of court during Rader's speech, saying they did not want to give him the time of day.
Rader must serve 175 years, no parole
The sentence — a minimum of 175 years without a chance of parole — was the longest possible that Judge Gregory Waller could deliver. Kansas had no death penalty at the time the killings were committed.
The two-day hearing featured graphic testimony from detectives and sobbing relatives. It culminated with rambling testimony from Rader, who said he had been dishonest to his family and victims and at times wiped his eyes.
"Nancy's death is like a deep wound that will never, ever heal," Beverly Plapp, sister of victim Nancy Fox, testified. "As far as I'm concerned, Dennis Rader does not deserve to live. I want him to suffer as much as he made his victims suffer."
"This man needs to be thrown in a deep, dark hole and left to rot," she said. "He should never, ever see the light of day."
Rader, 60, a former church congregation president and Boy Scout leader, led a double life, calling himself BTK for "bind, torture and kill." He was arrested in February and pled guilty in
June to 10 murders from 1974 to 1991.
Family members of the victims talked about the hearing at a news conference afterward, saying that Stephen King couldn't have come up with more monstrous character than Rader. Jeff Davis, whose mother was strangled by Rader, called Rader's speech a "pathetic, rambling diatribe."
"It's beyond comprehension. It was that pathetic," he said. "He just nauseates me. I just want them to put the cockroach away."
"I know the victim's families will never be able to forgive me. I hope somewhere deep down, eventually that will happen," he said.
Rader's voice choked as he made his half-hour address to the courtroom, saying he had been dishonest to his family and victims and selfish.
He also admitted he tracked his victims "like a predator."
Nola Foulston, Sedgwick County District Attorney, asked the judge that Rader be refused anything in prison, such as markers or crayons, that could be used to draw or write about human or animal forms, or anything that might be used to further his sexual fantasies.
Prosecutors earlier flashed a photograph of Rader wearing a mask, tied to a chair and donning a woman's blond wig. They also showed other pictures the killer took in which he had bound himself and was wearing a dress he had taken from a victim's house — apparently reliving the ecstasy of the murder.
Investigators testified that Rader kept hundreds of pictures from magazines and circulars mounted on index cards, with details of the warped sexual fantasies he dreamed of carrying out.

Club celebrates India's independence
Hemenway delivers surprise speech at event
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ananthnarayan Hariharan was happy to celebrate his nation's independence day in another country.
"The experience was a very pleasant one," Hariharan, Madurai, India, graduate student said.
MCA-0431
The KU Cultural India Club hoisted the Indian flag on the morning of Aug. 15 in honor of India's independence, followed by the national anthem.
This was the second year the KUCIC played host to the event.
The highlight of this event occurred when Chancellor Robert Hemenway walked out of the Kansas Union and past the plaza outside where a crowd of 70 students and faculty members had gathered for the ceremony.
Hemenway, who was not scheduled to speak, stopped to deliver a short, unprepared speech and remained until the program had ended.
Mahasweta Banerjee, associate professor in the department of social welfare, said Hemenway noted how important Indian students are to the University and that they do well in their studies.
Members of the University of Kansas Cultural India Club gather to celebrate India's Independence from British rule 48 years ago with a flag-hoisting ceremony. Chancellor Robert Henmanway stopped by and gave a spontaneous and short speech.
"It was clear he hadn't been informed in advance but his statement was thoughtful and very nicely done." Banerjee said.
Banerjee helped preside over the ceremony, along with Purnaprajna Bangere, associate professor in the department of mathematics. Banerjee said the ceremony held importance for Indian-American students for a few reasons. She said because the Independence Day takes place around the beginning of the academic year, this additionally serves as a great occasion for new students to connect with others.
"T
The celebrations which we have at KU are very similar in the national sentiment and feeling that it brings out."
Vinya Vasu
President of KUCIC
"It starts the mentoring process that
will help in bridging their experiences at home and abroad," Banerjee said.

KUCIC was created in 1994 to assist Indian students in making a smooth transition to the University and promote cultural diversity.
More than 250 Indian students attend the University.
Vinya Vasu, president of KUCIC, said even though the campus celebration was smaller than typical ones in India, the club tried to replicate as much of the Indian flavor as possible.
"The celebrations which we have at KU are very similar in the national sentiment and feeling that it brings out." Vasu said.
India's Independence Day dates back to when the British Empire rule was instituted in 1776.
A strong reaction against the British started in the 19th century, mainly because of a growing appreciation of ancient Indian culture.
Feelings of rebellion and want of freedom presented themselves through protests, strikes and civil disobedience starting in 1857. Dissent continued until 1947 when India successfully protested through non violent means, led by Mahatm Gandhi.
India's Independence Day marks the end of British colonial rule on Aug.15, 1947.
Banerjee said being able to celebrate India's Independence Day in the United States was a tribute to both countries.
"The celebration doesn't deny the other country. It's not an either-or situation." Baneriee said.
KUCIC will play host to an Indian Cultural show Aug. 27 at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union from 5:30 to 7 p.m., Admission is free. An ethnic dinner in the Big 12 Room will follow. Tickets cost $8. To purchase them, contact Gunashekar Javaraman at (734) 377-5599.

KILLS VAMPIRES DEAD

Ban criteria largely flawed
For my first topic, I've decided to address the NCAA's ban on schools whose mascots are considered "hostile" or "abusive," I find that the ban is not well constructed. It is a waste of time for pretty much everyone involved. I know for a fact that the press has squandered a great deal of time on this subject when more important stories are out there. This ruling's vague labeling, "hostile" or "abusive," can cover any collegiate mascot if someone pressed the issue. The controversy lies with what actually stipulates "hostile" or "abusive" and whether this ban will spin out of control and affect other schools who have non-Indian mascots but whose mascots still represent explorers, settlers, conquerors, cowboys, etc.
一
If the courts do not overrule the ban, then other schools will be in jeopardy of losing their mascots and traditions. The Jayhawk, would be deemed as "hostile or abusive" because as even the historical fact page on The University's Web site states "The factions looted, sacked, rustled cattle, stole horses and otherwise attacked each other's settlements. For a time, ruffians on both sides

sgarlick@kansan.com
were called Jayhawkers..." Even our songs could become affected by this ban. The part in the 1912 piece by George "Dumpy" Bowles, "I'm a Jayhawk" would have to change its lines because it promotes in the verse that the Jayhawk will abuse the other mascots by using bodily harm to their tails or causing extreme pain toward them: "But I'm the bird to make 'em weep and wall." The ban, if allowed to survive and continue would not take in to consideration the positive history these mascots represent. It would not matter that "...During the Civil War, the Jayhawk's ruffian image gave way to patriotic symbol." It is this fact that the Jayhawk has become a patriotic symbol that we have come to preserve and appreciate the past with the use of our logo. This is what schools such as Florida State University and the University of Illinois have done as well. The issue of Political Correctness in regards to the NCAA should not have the power to usurp decades of tradition. And as for Florida State University, the Seminole tribe of Florida has a great respect and understanding with the school and its administration.
If schools cannot have Native American mascots, then what is next? Will the NCAA lead the riot and ban all the American Western films, the sales of Disney's Pocahontas, little kids playing the game "Indians and Cow-

joys," enacting a bill that would change all states names after Indian tribes such as Illinois and Kansas to change their names, or get rid of the image of the cowboy all together, destroying the history of the American West and the founding of this great nation? If it was not for schools like Florida State University and the University of Illinois, many people in the United States, including some students here at the University of Kansas would not even know that tribes such as the Seminoles and the Illini existed. These schools are not exploiting these tribes past. Instead these schools serve as a liaison between the tribes and the population so that these tribes can remain an important part of the everyday presence in order for all of America not to become the land that has forgotten its past, but a land that celebrates it.

—So MUCH FOR TODAY'S BIOLOGY LESSON on "iNTELLIGENT DESIGN."
TURNING NOW TO THE SUBJECT OF "iNTELLIGENT GEOGRAPHY..."
Steve Sack/STAR TRIBUNE
Letter to the Editor
O
After 28 years of cooperation with the University of Kansas, to acquire and resell course pack materials, things have changed. We have been advised by the Kansas Union Bookstore Director that those materials will now only be available to us through the Kansas Union Bookstore at their selling price. Thus they control the printing and eliminate profit margins to competition.
The KUB's alternative decree to us was to request and pay hundreds of publisher permissions and royalties necessary to reprint these materials. We learned about this University policy "change" just days before classes were to begin. With the assistance of some concerned KU instructors, we have secured their non-copy-righted materials for this semester. We all ask affected students and faculty to bear with us.
With student, faculty, and parent input we will continue to do what JBS does best: provide books and materials to KU students in a competitive, freedom-of-choice manner. Please feel free to e-mail me your thoughts.

PILLOW TALK
A point of contention: The long and short of it
Editor's Note: Sex is an important part of many students' lives, and our new sex columnist, Jamie, will strive to explore this complex subject in a professional, mature and extensive manner. That being said, there are some students who may find Miss Epstein's columns offensive and, dare I say it, dirty. In order to help prepare our readers for the initial shock, I have created some guidelines for whether you should read this column:
First of all, if you are Bob Dole, do not read this column. If you are a person who admires Bob Dole in any way, do not read this column. If you are ever flipping through the channels, and you see Bob Dole and you don't immediately continue changing the channel, do not read this column.
I hope that this proves to be only the first of many rendezvous; for I hope all of you will eventually find this to be as stimulating to read as I do. I humbly provide my services, with a mix of both enjoyment and information. This is not intended to cause too hard of a problem for students during class, and hopefully not for any instructors.
JAMIE EPSTEIN

Now that we have taken care of the preliminaries, let us be off like a dress on prom night. A common concern, especially for men, is penis size. Assuming no one here is an inch or less, there is still plenty to work with. The media has warped our minds
---
into stressing penis and breast size, when bigger isn't always better. The average length of the penis is about six inches, some will tell you five-something and others say it's more then six. To make it simple, just think about six inches, and that is sexually aroused. Flaccid equals much smaller, as I am sure the horny students at the University have figured out by now. As for girth, I am going to say it's between four and five inches. According to a study I saw at http://www.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/~amiklaut/ask.htm, the size is 4.84, but given my experience with statistics, that is only an approximate.
Now, that being said, girth is much more important than length. Think of it like this, if she cannot feel the stimulation on the walls of her vagina, she won't enjoy the sex. Another down side is that if her walls don't respond, she can't clamp down onto you, preventing you from getting the stimulation you want. There are ways to defeat a short circumference though. Pleasure her first. If she orgasms, her muscles will have already clamped down. However, if she is unable to reach her peak (and making sure it is her decision to stop trying to force
Length is less important than girth. While some of us might like to try a foot-long, chances are that pain will be the result. Instead we take pleasure in what we are given. If you fear being too short, again there is a trick. Roll her onto her shoulders, by placing her ankles on your shoulders. This allows for deeper penetration and even for those who do not lack in length, try it, you both might like it.
Too big can also be a scary thing. Yes, a baby's head is supposed to be able to pass, but not all women are willing to risk a rip. In this case, again pleasuring her will help. Only this time, nothing should be penetrating her. Her juices will be flowing and she will relax to be able to take more. Anal sex can also be painful when involving too large of a phallus, but that is another column entirely.
This information, while new to some, and yet a review to others will I hope provide hours of enjoyment to those who choose to use it. May all your sexual encounters be "safe, sane and consensual". Enjoy, and have fun.
the reaction) she still will have created a tighter space after feeling your fingers inside her. It is easier to tickle her insides with fingers than a penis given the joints and bones involved.

Royals 'need to win, baby, win'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — A psychologist might call it a simple case of denial. The Kansas City Royals, however, cannot escape the harsh, unmistakable facts: They are on a losing streak with seemingly no end.
"We don't want to think about the record" center fielder David DeJesus said after the Royals were swept by the Seattle Mariners yesterday to extend their losing string to 18 games, three shy of the American League mark.
delphia in 1961.
Now, staring the Royals in the face is the record of 21 losses in a row set by Baltimore at the start of the 1988 season. They also are closing in on the modern major league milestone of 23 straight losses by Phila-
The Royals open a three-game series tonight at Oakland. If they are swept in their seventh straight series, they would claim a share of the AL record. They could break the mark Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium against the Boston Red Sox.
"It's not like we're incapable of winning," slugger Mike Sweeney said. "We're just in a rut right now. It's a big rut, though."
The Royals are at or near the bottom of the league in batting and fielding. But it's their pitching that really has deserted them in their plunge that began after a 6-5, 13-inning victory against the Chicago White Sox at Kansas City on July 27, their second straight victory against
the AL Central leaders.
Since then, their pitchers have an ERA of 7.46, leaving the team with a 38-81 record and headed for its second consecutive 100-plus loss season and its third season of 100 losses or more in four years. The Royals' overall ERA has risen to 5.62, the worst in baseball.
Kansas City lost 104 games last season. After Wednesday's 11-5 loss in Seattle in a game in which they fell behind 8-0 after five innings, the Royals are on pace to lose 109 games this season.
They have the worst record in the majors. Their record was 38-63 when the losing streak began with a 10-5 loss in Tampa Bay on July 28. In order, they've been swept by the Devil Rays,
Boston Oakland, Cleveland,
Detroit and now the Mariners.
"Everybody wants it to end," said rookie catcher Paul Phillips, whose first career homer — a grand slam with two out in the ninth — was the highlight of the Royals' lackluster Wednesday in Seattle.
Against Oakland, the Royals will start Jose Lima (4-11) tonight, Mike Wood (3-4) toorrow night and Runelys Hernandez (8-11) on Sunday. Manager Buddy Bell hasn't announced his starter for the opener of the Boston series.
Lima, an All-Star for the Houston Astros in 1999 when he won 21 games, would appear to still have the talent to end the streak. He was 13-5 for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season and lost a 1-0 decision in the second game of a doubleheader in Detroit last Sunday.
"I've just got to do my job and stay focused like the last game," Lima said.
Sweeney is the team's highest-paid player at $11 million for the small-market Royals, but the 32-year-old designated hitter-first baseman is suffering as much as his younger teammates.
"It's not fun," he said. "Try going out there every day and losing. We have to turn things around. We need to win, baby, win."
Bell returned to his team from Arlington National Cemetery, where he attended burial services of his Marine nephew killed in Iraq this month by a roadside bomb.
Cardinals pitcher Jason Marquis had an infield hit and an RBI double his first two at-bats, giving him six-straight hits, before flying out in the seventh. He leads all pitchers with 25 hits, four more than the rest of the St. Louis rotation, and a .373 average.

Defensive line tries to keep pressure on
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
While the linebacking corps may be the most talked about unit on the Kansas football defense, the defensive line hopes to have the depth to be just as strong as the unit behind them
this season
Ashley
Last season, the defense led the Big 12 in turnovers with 27. Many of those turnovers came from pressure that the defensive line put on the opposing quarterback.
"Our defensive line is going to be pretty good," Mangino said. "I don't like to make predictions because when you do that you always end up with egg on your face, but I think our defensive line will be among the best in the Big 12 Conference."
Ashley
The defensive line will return two starters in senior defensive end fernial Ashley and senior defensive tackle Tim Allen.
Ashley, who was an honorable mention all-Big 12 selection last season, had 28 tackles last year. Ashley's speed helped him get to the quarterback, because he was second on the team last year in sacks, with four.
Allen started 10 games last season and had 15 tackles and three sacks.
Kansan file photo
Newcomer Wayne Wilder will compete with Allen at defensive tackle. Wilder spent last season with Allen in Garden City, where he recorded 55 tackles. At 6 feet 3 inches tall and 295 pounds, Wilder's size gives him an advantage in the middle of the line.
"We expect Wayne to help us as defensive tackle," Mangino said. "He's a big, strong guy. He's quick and can jump the ball."
The defensive line will have to replace graduated defensive tackle Travis Watkins. Sophomore defensive tackle James McClinton will be the frontrunner to fill the position. McClinton saw action in just six games last season, but is currently listed as the starter on the depth chart next to Allen at defensive tackle.
The defensive line will also have to replace defensive end David McMillan, who graduated and was drafted by the Cleveland Browns last April. McMillan had a team-leading seven sacks last season.
Senior defensive end Charlton Keith will be expected to help replace McMillan.
Keith had 21 tackles and three sacks in his first season with the Jayhawks after he transferred.
Also pushing for playing time at the defensive end spot is highly touted junior college transfer, Rodney Allen. Allen spent the last two seasons at Garden City Community College and was a first team All-Jayhawk Conference selection last season.
Junior college transfer Paul Como is fighting for a spot and will likely see time in a reserve role this season. Como hails from Dana Point, Calif., and played for Saddleback College last season in Mission Viejo, Calif.
The defense faltered at times last season late in the game because of the amount of the time the players spent on the field. The defense worked this offseason to finish out games, so that last-minute collapses against Texas Tech, Northwestern, and Texas last season do not occur again.

Texas Tech needs good start
BIG 12 FOOTBALL

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Editor's Note: This is the second of 11 articles, by Daniel Berk, previewing Kansas' competition in the Big 12 Conference. The articles will run every day from now until Sept. 1. Monday, the Kansan will look at Oklahoma State.
The last time the Texas Tech Red Raiders played football, they defeated a top 10 team and won a notable bowl game.
This season, the Red Raiders look to carry some of the momentum gained from that victory against California, crack the top 25 and compete in the Big 12 South division.
45
The biggest question for Texas Tech will be the quarterback position. Sonny Cumbie, who led the nation last year in passing yards, graduated. Now it is a three-man battle for the job.
Senior Cody Hodges, freshman Graham Harrell and sophomore Phillip Daugherty will fight for the position. Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach said he was pleased with how the quarterbacks were preforming in practice, but has not yet decided on a starter.
velop," Leach said. "We will make the best decision as a staff that we can, and we will invest a lot of reps in one or two and go from there."
"At some point you have to make a decision so you can invest the reps in one guy or another and allow him to de-
Whichever quarterback emerges from the battle victorious will have some time to adjust to the Red Raiders' offense, as the team opens its season with three home games against Florida International, Sam Houston State and Indiana State.
Adam Barmann, then sophomore quarterback, dodges Brock Stratton, then Texas Tech sophomore linebacker, while Matt Thompson, then junior offensive lineman, blocks. The Jawhaves lost the game. 31-30.
Barring a major upset the Red Raiders should be 3-0 when they face the Jayhawks in Lubbock, Texas. on Oct.1.
Leach has had tough non-conference schedules in the past, with games on the road against ranked opponents, but thought it would help his team to schedule three home games against weaker opponents.
"We have had some non-conference schedules in the past where we probably won the award for toughest non-conference schedule, which I am not sure that's the one we are chasing," Leach said. "The season in football is all about steady improvement. We have to see that we are able to get that."
On the defensive side of the ball, the Red Raiders boast a much improved unit from years past and return seven starters from last season. The defense will be led by senior cornerback Khalid Naziruddin and junior linebacker Brock Stratton.
Naziruddin tied for the team lead with 83 tackles last year. This year he teams up in the defensive backfield with another returning cornerback, junior Antonio Huffman.
Despite having to replace Cumbie, the Red Raiders do return two of the most talented offensive players in the conference. Junior receiver Jarrett Hicks and senior running back Taurean Henderson were both named to the Big 12 Media Preseason Football team.
son in receiving yards per game with more than 98 yards a game and also had a school record 13 touchdowns.
Henderson is the only player in Big 12 history to rush for at least 2,000 yards and have more than 1,500 receiving yards in his career.
If everything goes the Red Raiders' way, the team could be 6-0 when it travels to Austin, Texas, to battle with the Texas Longhorns on Oct. 22.

Singh, Woods share lead at Invitational
AKRON, Ohio — Three days after the major championship season ended, Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh played like they still have plenty to prove Thursday by taking a share of the lead in the NEC Invitational
ble from the trees but never came close to making bogey on a Firestone course that offered no letup for those coming off the PGA Championship. He made a 15-foot birdie on his final hole for a 4-under 66, and later was joined by Singh and Henrik Stenson of Sweden.
Woods twice escaped trou-
Singh had a chance to take the outright lead until missing a 6-foot birdie putt on his 17th hole. He had to scramble from the rough to save par on the
484-yard ninth, his 18th of the day, for a share of the lead.
Davis Love III carried his good play from Baltusrol into the first round and was among those at 67, while PGA champion Phil Mickelson was all smiles on his way to a 69.
"I didn't hit it great today, but I left myself with some easier up-and-downs when I did miss, so it wasn't so bad" said Woods, who has never finished lower than fifth in seven
appearances at Firestone.
Woods and Singh were the only players to finish in the top 10 at all four majors this year, with Woods winning the Masters and British Open.
But there is still plenty at stake.
Singh has won the PGA Tour money title the last two years, and he trails Woods by about $185,000 with two months left in the season.

Members of the Kansas tennis team battled players from across the nation, Aug. 13-17 at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Championship held in Bloomington, Ind.
Despite the final match, coach Amy Hall-Holt said she saw strength in her singles player.
"Skoda played well in singles, you can tell she had been working hard this summer." Hall-Holt said.
The singles' portion saw senior Christine Skoda advance to the third round before losing to Courtney Vernon from University of Southern Florida 6-0, 6-0.
Because of NCAA regulations, coaches may not attend offseason tournaments. The coaches only saw the results and spoke to their players afterwards.
Skoda said she was pleased with her play. She practiced often this summer, but did not play many tournaments.
Sophomores Liza Avdeeva and Lauren Hommell each won a match before falling in the second round. Junior Brittany Brown lost her opening round match.
There were 54 players in the singles draw.
Both Kansas doubles teams advanced to the quarterfinals of the doubles tournament. After a first round bye, the team of

Athletics Department to install new system
The Kansas Athletics Department will begin installation of a second scoreboard at the north end of Memorial Stadium next week, said Larry Keating, senior associate athletics director.
The new scoreboard will include basic game information, such as the score, time remaning, down and yards to go. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said the construction would also include two message boards.
board would be 30 feet wide by 6 feet high. It will be placed between the two flags at the top of the north end of Memorial Stadium.
On either side of the flags will be two boards that can display messages and other information or graphics throughout the game.
The supports for the board, which are attached to the outside of the stadium, are visible from the stadium. The message boards will be installed next week with the scoreboard.
Associate athletics director Sean Lester said the total cost of the project would be near $591,000.
Keating said that most Big 12 Conference schools had two scoreboards at their respective football stadiums.
"We thought it was strange not to have one," Keating said.

Marchiony said construction of the board was part of previously planned construction by the department.
"We talked about that with part of the Allen Fieldhouse scoreboard,"

Marchiony said in reference to the new video board that was installed earlier this month.
Students thought the addition of a second scoreboard would be a welcome addition to Memorial Stadium.

Not wasting any time, the Kansas soccer team opens its 2005 exhibition season two days after classes began.
Kansas will face Drake tomorrow at 1 p.m., at the Javawk Soccer Complex.
The exhibition game will serve as Kansas' first this fall. Kansas' previous game advanced them to the second round of the NCAA tournament to end last year's season.
Drake kicked off the fall at home with a 3-4 exhibition match loss to Cedar River Soccer Association U-15 Boys' Club.
Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said he was excited to get back on the field, but had no idea what to expect out of the Bulldogs.
"We have no idea how they play," Coach Mark Francis said. "Typically, during the season we get scouting reports or get video. The first game of the season, you don't have that advantage. You

really just have to take care of what you're doing and hope that it's good enough."
On Tuesday, pre-season polls were released, revealing Kansas at No. 23 in the National Soccer Coaches Association/adidas poll, after an 18-5 season in 2004. Soccer Buzz Magazine* ranked Drake No. 13 in the Great Lakes Region.
For the second consecutive year the Bulldogs won the regular season Missouri Valley Conference Championship.
Kansas claimed its first conference championship last year, sharing with Texas A&M.

Senior forward Jessica Smith will be leading the team as captain after scoring four goals last year and was named first team Academic All-Big 12.
Francis has said that a big part of repeating last year's success depends on the team's chemistry and how well his girls mesh together.
"That's always been a strength for us, the last couple of years especially. That makes a big difference," Francis said. "Especially when you get into tight games. If a team is close off the field, it shows on the field.

Gordon a strong asset for Mangino
When college football experts discuss Jayhawk football, which happens about as often as the Kansas City Royals winning a baseball game, one name always seems to be mentioned — junior cornerback Charles Gordon.
He has stardom written all over his new brighter shade of blue jersey. Some of his accomplishments last season were outstanding.
As a cornerback last season, he was a third team All-American and a first-team all-Big 12 selection. As an all-purpose player and wide receiver, he was an honorable mention all-Big 12 selection. He has already been named to the Pre-Season all-Big 12 team this season, along with senior linebacker Nick Reid, by the Big 12 media.
While playing offense, he caught 15 passes for 150 yards, an average of a first down per reception, along with a pair of touchdowns. He even threw a 26-yard touchdown on a trick play to wide receiver Brandon Rideau against Texas Tech. Gordon is also only five yards away from becoming Kansas's all-time leader in punt return yards.
No wonder Pete Flutak of www.collegefootballnews.com wrote "while Miami's Devin Hester and Ohio State's Ted Ginn Jr. will get all the national publicity for their all-around abilities, KU's Charles Gordon could be the best player of the bunch, and is certainly the best defensive back of the three."
When www.collegefootballnews.com asked who should win the Thorpe award, given to the NCAA's best defensive back, Flutak wrote that Charles Gordon might deserve the award, but Jimmy Williams of Virginia Tech had the inside track.
Answering the same question, Richard Cirminiello picked Gordon as the third runner-up. He wrote that Gordon was the best all-around athlete that just about no one outside Lawrence knows about, and you could pencil him in for another seven interceptions.
Gordon is so good that nfldraft.scout.com claimed he would be a top-60 player in the NFL draft if he entered after this season. The Web site said Gordon was easily the top prospect on the team and the best one to come from the program in a long time. The Web site also complimented his "superior technique and ball skills."
This season, look for Gordon to continue doing what he does best. That is, playing on both sides of the ball.
"If we don't have some of the young kids ready to play at the receiver position, it's hard to ignore Charles as a playmaker on offense," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said at the 2005 media day. "I think we have a dilemma; a good dilemma."

Volleyball team to try its hand against alumni in exhibition
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas unofficially opens its season Saturday night against a team of former Jayhawks in the Alumni Scrimmage. Coach Ray Bechard will use the match to take a look at as many possible lineups before the real competition begins in next weekend's State Farm Jayhawk Classic.
"We're going to put a lot of different people in a lot of different situations," Bechard said. "Obviously, we want to play well, but at the same time it's more important to get out in front of a few people in the stands."
Bechard said the newcomers will benefit the most from the scrimage, which will feature 10 recent graduates from past Kansas teams, including two male managers. It will give them a chance to adapt to the atmosphere of a match.
The moment of truth is rapidly approaching for the Kansas volleyball team.
"The closer you get to opening day, the anxiety tends to grow," he said. "You start two-a-days thinking you have a lot of time to get
Having only been in two-a-day practices for two weeks limited the time the team had to work on details. Bechard said that strain was just something that goes with the territory.
"It's one thing to practice,"
Bechard said. "Sometimes athletes rise to the occasion and sometimes they are a little intimidated in those situations initially."

stuff in, but here we are a week away from starting the season."
Ray Bechard
Kansas volley coach
Despite the short time, Bechard said he noticed the women progressing on the court.
Correa fought injuries the past two seasons. This year, she is as healthy as she has ever been at KU.
He was especially pleased with the progress of the outside hitter corps,
which consisted of juniors Jana Correa and Megan Hill and senior Paula Caten.
"That whole group, I think, has done very well," Bechard said. "Paula has made a big jump from a community college transfer to figuring out Division I volleyball. Megan has been outstanding as well."
Experience has been an important aspect for the jahwaks as well. They return
something that will be a big boost this season.
players with at least two years experience at five positions on the floor, and two in their fourth season. Bechard said that would be invaluable when it came time for the regular season.
"We have more experience on the floor than we've had in some time."
The way the group has come together is another contributing factor to how the team can succeed this season. The players spent more time building chemistry with one another this past summer then they ever had before.
Bechard said. "That leads to a better understanding of what it's going to take to be successful in a very difficult pre-conference schedule and in the Big 12."
"We were all here in the offseason for conditioning together," Brown said.
"Building that bond during the summer really helped."
Admission is free
The scrimmage Saturday will begin at 7 p.m at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
"The camaraderie of the team has been great," Bechard said. "The team chemistry appears to be as good as it's been in a long time."
Bechard said a trip to Brazil was also an important part of the bonding process. Each of those factors has formed a closer team.

One student was shocked when she was asked to give out her private information.
"I was outraged, I was really mad. I said 'how can you expect me to give you my social security number.' Then the guy looked at me like I was stupid," said Stephanie Bonsen, Minneapolis, Minn., freshman. "So I just tore up my form and walked away. It was totally unbusiness-like. The people handing the papers out were wearing street clothes."
Students who responded to a flier mistaken the company for a local CiCi's Pizza restaurant giving away a free buffet meal and drink. Last week, the company handed out the fliers throughout campus.
"When I first got the flier it said 'CiCi's Pizza' really big, so I thought it was a legit deal. The paper said do a three-minute student activity" and I thought it was just a survey, I did not know it had to do with a credit card," said Courtney Steele, Leavenworth freshman.
The company refused to comment or provide any details regarding identities, contact information, or even a copy of the credit card application.
"We are not affiliated with the company. We are not offering them any kind of discount," he said. "They are on their own."
CiCli's Pizza, 2020 W. 23rd St., has nothing to do with the flier, said Frank Clem, general manager.
During the three-minute activity, students were required to provide their social security number, mother's maiden name, phone number and address.
Several students thought they were filling out a credit card application for Visa because the Visa logo appeared on the form. A Visa representative, however, said Visa followed strict credit card application procedures.
"We don't offer Visa cards directly to customers. Do not give out any of your personal info until you know that it is a real company, usually associated with a bank," said Julie, Visa representative No. P74. Visa does not disclose last names of its representatives.
"I gave them my real social just because it was a force of habit when filling out forms," he said. "I didn't think

U.S.News drops University to 45th in public university rankings, a new low
BY FRANK TANKARD

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas dropped to its lowest rank yet in this year's U.S. News and World Report magazine's annual "America's Best Colleges" rankings.
The magazine ranked the University as tied for 45th among public colleges, down from tied for 42nd a year ago. The University also dropped on the overall list, which includes private universities, from tied for 90th to tied for 97th.
Kristin Potter, Ottawa junior, said she paid attention to rankings when picking a college after two years at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park. But she said rankings of individual schools were
more important to her than rankings for an entire university.
Steven Carter, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said his gut feeling aided him more than numbers when he picked the University of Kansas over two other colleges.
"There's a lot of different variables that play into that, so I don't think it makes a huge difference," she said of ranking universities as a whole.
"Mostly, I just looked at where I felt comfortable," he said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway downplayed the fall in the rankings, saying that the number doesn't necessarily reflect strides the University has made in the past year.

KU engineers test race car

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There's just something about auto racing. Something that turns regular people — mechanical engineers, for instance — into fanatics.
Some people love the thrill of accelerating to 60 miles per hour on a short straightway, slamming on the breaks, then going up on two wheels in the middle of a 90 degree turn.
That's why more than 100 racing fanatics from the Kansas City area pulled into the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot on a muggy, overcast yesterday afternoon to enter an open-entry race.
Of all the people who showed up for the race, put on by Crown Autocross Club and Kansas City Region Sports Car Club of America, four University of Kansas engineering students clearly stood out.
They were the only people who brought a Formula SAEemodel car, the type of car used in college competitions sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The car stood out among souped-up street cars ranging from a late-'80s Corvette to a brand-
new Cadillac.
They were also the only group driving a car completely designed and built from scratch. By students, no less.
The four students were part of the KU Formula SAE Team, a group of about 20 engineering students who design and build a race car every year. They enter the car in the major Formula-SAE competition in Detroit. In Mav.
Lawrence Raitinger, Parker junior, had fond memories of last year's SAE competition, in which the team finished 12th out of more than 130 colleges worldwide. It was the KU team's highest finish since the team was founded in 1995.
"We didn't do anything but work on the car, but it was still a good time," he said.
The club's seniors do the actual design work while everyone else helps building, maintaining and racing the car. Nick Roberts, Olathe
senior, said some seniors spent 50 to 60 hours a week working on the car when things really heated up.
After the SAE competition, the team races the car in area competitions in preparation for the Sports Car Club of America Solo National Championships, which will take place Sept. 13-16 in Topeka.
Yesterday, four members of the KU team drove to Kansas City to race the

Jordan Harper grew nervous as she awaited word of which sorority she would be invited to join.
When the Chicago freshman learned she was a new member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, smiles and shrieks of joy could be heard as she, and a wave of new sorority women, ran out of the Kansas Union filled with excitement.
"I was so nervous that I wasn't going to get asked back. I'm pretty excited," Harper said, as she posed for a group picture with the other new members of Kappa Kappa Gamma.
The weeklong, fall formal recruitment process for the 13 sororities of the Panhellenic Association concluded Saturday evening in the Kansas Union, as more than 700 women learned which sorority they would join.
Each woman was given a bid card that told which sorority she was invited membership in.
"I'm so excited," said Krista Meyers. Stillwell freshmen and new member of Alpha Gamma Delta. "It's so nice to have sisters. It makes the campus a lot smaller."
Outside the Union a party-like atmosphere awaited the women as active sorority members greeted the new members. The welcoming parties met the women with balloons and signs that bore each sorority's colors. New members were greeted with open arms when they met their new sorority sisters.
Harper said the reception she received from members made her feel welcomed.
"They have hugged me and told me how happy they are that I'm here," she said.
Throughout the recruitment process, potential new members visited each of the Panhellenic sorority chapters, talked with members from each sorority and then narrowed down a list of chapters each day to include those chapters they were most interested in joining.
For Meyers, deciding on which chapter to join after visiting with many different women from many different chapters was difficult.
She said it was wonderful meeting all the members but difficult to pick that one chapter she wanted to call home.
"It's really hard to narrow it down to the one house you think you will fit in because they are all so great in so many different ways," Meyers said.
Throughout the recruitment process, both active and potential new members were asked to abstain from any social situation that involved bars, alcohol or men.
Harper said joining a sorority at the end of the week made up for the strictness of the rule.
"For a whole four years of something so great, one week isn't that much to sacrifice," Harper said.
Bid day excitement also carried over to active members, who eagerly expected the news of who would join

Interim dean takes over school

But right now, the committee has just scratched the surface of its assignment with a few meetings, she said.
Davis said school officials hope to name a permanent dean as early as July
2006.
The dean's position opened after former dean, Stephen McAllister, announced his resignation last January. McAllister was dean of the law school for more than five years.
He stepped down to resume his career as a professor specializing in constitutional law. However, he will not begin teaching until the spring semester. "There are a fair number of frustrations in being a dean," McAllister said. "I have five young kids and lots of things I still have to do. It's time to move on."
Davie said he will have his hands full with his regular duties as the interim dean.
Some of Davis' objectives will include recruiting faculty for the school and preparing the school for its accreditation by the American Bar Association in March. And after only a week on the job, Davis said he was still finding out more responsibilities as dean.
"There's lots to do," Davis said. "It's a job just keeping all the trains running."

New source for cheap textbooks
"These books lie stagnant on the student's shelf with no use for him/her during those intermittent periods," Varadarajan said. "Our Web site will serve to make maximum use of those unused resources."

Book-lending Web site lets students borrow rather than buy
Like the Student Senate book exchange, Hawzo allows the lender to set the value of a book and list it for a prospective borrowers. Based on that
value, a 7 percent lending fee is charged for each two-month loan period. For example, a $100 book would cost about $20 for a six-month loan. The percentage was based on the price Muralidhar and Varadarajan would be willing to pay to borrow a book. Students can borrow a book for as many two-month loan periods as they want.
Until the book exchange relaunches, students will be able to use Hawzo at www.hawzo.com. Hawzo, an online
The inevitable, pocket-wrenching doom that is the purchasing of textbooks is here again. While many students flock to local bookstores, others fill up online shopping carts at Internet textbook companies.
"Buying books online is a lot easier because you don't have to wait in line or go to three different bookstores because one doesn't carry your specific text book. Also, it seems like you can get them cheaper online," said Meghan Armstrong, San Antonio senior.
In Spring 2004, Student Senate started an online book exchange for students to buy and sell used textbooks. The service went mostly unused and now, a year and a half later, the Student Senate Web site is temporarily shut down while they work on revamping its service to attract more users.
Convenience may sometimes outweigh price, but students generally search for the cheapest deal. In order to cater to the thrifty KU student, two alternative options are available. The Student Senate Online Book Exchange and Hawzo are two KU services geared to provide students with the most inexpensive options.
"In order to get the book exchange more integrated, we have been working with Academic Computer Services to launch a new site by the end of fall semester," said Student Body President Nick Sterner. "The new site will be incorporated with Kyou portal, which ideally will enable students to view their classes and the textbooks they need at the same time."
The site is designed to provide students a place to find books at a minimal price. Hawzo is ideal for students who keep books as a reference for advanced courses or job interviews. Todd Peters, Wichita senior, said he prefers to keep his pre-med books as a reference for graduate admissions tests.
"We chose two months because we want to protect the current condition of the book as much as possible, but there is no problem renewing the loan." Muralidhar said.
"If after the six-month period the site is still running well, we will integrate it with Student Senate so that our site will be part of KU and will continue when we leave the university." Muralidhar said.
More changes may be made to Hawzo when the Student Senate's book exchange reopens.
Muralidhar and Varadarajan have worked in cooperation with other University groups in order to keep the site as KU oriented as possible and to help ensure its success. They are working with the School of Engineering for logistic support. Last week, they registered a new student organization called BLAB, which stands for "book lending and borrowing."
"We were discussing the increasing cost of books and wanted to try and borrow them instead. It was hard because we didn't know who to contact or people we knew had moved," Muralidhar said.
marketplace for borrowing and lending textbooks, was created by Vinod Muralidhar and Karthik Varadarajan, two KU computer science graduate students from India.
"PayPal is used by about 50 million people right now, so I figured that customers would know this service is safe and that their money is not being misused," Muralidhar said. He added that it could be changed later based on user request.
"We formed this group primarily as a means to involve and interest more and more people into our Web site," Muralidhar said.
Hawzo users will make their payments with PayPal, www.paypal.com, an online service with a broad customer base. This service allows the buyer and seller to make the transaction with either a credit card or a checking account.
The exchange of the book is done by postal mail. Muralidhar and Varadaraj are considering creating a drop box on campus to make the process more convenient.
They developed the idea of a book exchange after several failed attempts to borrow seniors' books for advanced courses.
The possible collaboration between Student Senate and Hawzo's creators could give students the ability to both sell and lend books on a single site.

The Topeka School District will benefit from a $9.3 million grant given to the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning last week.
Readiness for Undergraduate Programs GEAR UP). It will provide more than $1.5 million a year for six years to expand KU-CRL's Pathways to Success project, which provides tutoring and other services for Topeka middle school students.

The grant will allow Pathways to Success to expand from three Topeka middle schools to all six. It will pay for
an instructional coach for each school, 20 paid tutors for each school online mentors from the International Telem entor Program, and more teachers for reading programs.
Jim Knight, the KU research associate who oversees Pathways to Success, said the project is in Topeka rather than Lawrence because Topeka has a higher percentage of students who
receive free or reduced lunches, which is necessary to qualify for the project's services.
Knight said he was already hiring more staff members in anticipation of the new funding.
"We're doing everything we can to help these kids be successful in colleges and have successful lives," he said.

Rankings

that doesn't mean we're not doing a lot of good things at the University," Hemenway said. "The key point to be made is you don't change what you're doing because of the ranking of a news magazine."
This is the lowest U.S. News has ranked the University since it started releasing separate listings for public and private universities in 1998. The University ranked 30th in 1998 and has come in 59th or lower each year since 2000.
This low point comes three years after Hemenway set a goal for the University to be a top 25 public college by 2010. He stressed that his goal isn't based on any one ranking system, but he admitted that this year's U.S. News ranking didn't help the feasibility of his stated goal.
"I think it'll stretch us, but I think it's still achievable," Hemenway said.
Some schools have questioned the magazine's ranking formula. The formula weighs several factors, including peer assessment (25 percent), retention rate (20 percent), faculty resources (20 percent), student selectivity (15 percent), financial resources (10 percent), graduation rate (5 percent) and alumni giving rate (5 percent).
Though U.S. News is widely recognized as the leading source of college rankings, critics say that some of the variables in its formula may cause rankings to fluctuate from year to year without much change occurring in a university.
University of Alabama spokesperson Cathy Andreen questioned the validity of her university's tumble from 39th to 50th among public colleges. One of the factors
in Alabama's fall in the rankings was that its alumni-giving rate decreased significantly from 37 to 21 percent.
This made a difference in the ranking formula, but unless the alumni-giving rate stays low for several years, the students will likely not see a change in the quality of education.
Hemenway said one factor that would always hurt the University in the rankings is the University's non-selective admissions policy. The magazine awards points to schools such as the University of Colorado that have a more selective admission policy.
"We're not a selective admissions university, so we'll always be in a situation where we'll be hampered by that category of ranking," he said.

their chapters.
Theresa Barron, St. Louis senior and member of Sigma Kappa, said the excitement of new members is because the women are important to the sorority's success.
"When these new women come to our chapter they are the future," Barron said. "Next year they will be working just as hard for recruitment to get even more girls to come home."
Sarah Schmidt, Marysville senior and member of Gamma Phi Beta, said she's excited to gain members who are committed to the sorority.
"It's so important to get these women acclimated and really welcome them into our chapter because they have gone through this entire process of recruitment and they want to be here," Schmidt said. "It's an organization that will
be a part of their life forever."
Women who were chosen to be recruitment counselors and recruitment staff members must remain neutral throughout the process. For the week of recruitment, these women must distance themselves from their individual chapters. The women may not publicly socialize with members of their sororities. The 16 women who made up the recruitment staff were required to stay at the Holiday Inn Holidome to maintain neutrality throughout the recruitment process.
Relief also set in for the recruitment staff and recruitment counselors as the work they put forth all week came to an end.

Recruitment staff and recruitment counselors also had to put in long hours during the week attending meetings and assisting the potential new members with recruitment and getting acclimated to life at the University.
nior and vice president for scholarship and educational programming for the Panhellenic Association, said she woke up as early 5 a.m. and would stay up past 1 a.m. She said the demanding schedule made her position on the recruitment staff difficult.

"It's physically exhausting and draining. There are really long hours and sometimes you only sleep for a few hours a day." Harjung said.
Harjung said she had mixed emotions as the week came to an end.
Now the recruitment staff and recruitment counselors can openly socialize with members of their chapters but must leave the women they helped throughout the week.
"It's difficult because you meet so many women. You grow to care for them all." Harjung said. "It will be exciting to be back home."

Ohlde and Roberts each had five turns to take the car through the time trial course. Raitinger measured and recorded the car's tire temperature after each run. More data to analyze.
Just after noon, it was time for Ohlde to climb in and race.
The way the race worked, an official sent a car off about every 30 seconds, at which point the driver set off around the course in a race against the clock.
On Ohide's third trip around, he roared through the orange cones
marking the course and spun out of control as he tried to maneuver a 180-degree turn. He quickly regained control of the car and smoothly zigzagged through cones and finished the course.
Roberts, who was one of the team's drivers at the SAE competition in May, took the wheel and zoomed through the track without hitting a cone.
"He's fast," the race official standing by the finish line said. "That thing looks like it'd be a lot of fun to drive."
He drove the car off the course to where Raitinger sat on the asphalt, ready to take the tire temperature. "It's running hot," Raitinger said.
Jared Anderson, Derby freshman, stood with Raitinger, getting his first experience with the club.
At the end of the day, the four KU students determined that adjustments needed to be made to the car's suspension before nationals.
After SCCA nationals, they'll start all over again and build a new car to bring to Detroit in May.

Court nominee's views at odds with country

First of all, let's get something straight: I'm not anti-life. I believe in what's best for the woman and the child. Why put a woman's life at risk? Truth be told, pro-lifers sometimes neglect to regard the woman's life. There was a drop in mortality post-Roe vs. Wade.
Abortions are the most commonly performed surgeries, and death is 10 times more likely for a woman who carries her child to term. Let's face it, abortions are safe as long as they're legal. Nineteen million women undergo unsafe abortions. Because of policies like the global gag rule and a lack of resources — because President George W. Bush won't release UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) funding — 68,000 of these women die. I think we all have the right to choose, the right to safe and comprehensive health care and education. The rate of pregnancies and abortions decreases with proper comprehensive sex education.
Maria Ringuette said it best, "Abstinence has a high failure rate."
We want to be able to take emergency contraceptive if a condom breaks. We want our children to have comprehensive sex education so that they are capable of making healthy, safe and responsible choices about themselves and their futures.
According to Peter D. Hart Research Associates, voters said they believed that senators should vote against a Supreme Court nominee who refused to answer questions on important constitutional matters. Roberts has been refusing to answer or give a stance on reproductive issues. If students look at past decisions and tendencies, it isn't hard to see where he stands. According to documents released in The Chicago Tribune, Roberts held a firm stance against "comparable worth." Comparable worth supports equal pay and gender equality. Roberts also co-authored Rust vs. Sullivan, which insisted that Roe vs. Wade be overturned.
The term "abortion" is weight-

Voters across the United States rank privacy as the No. 1 right they want the new Supreme Court justice to uphold, followed by women's rights and individual rights, according to Ms. magazine's most recent issue. Imagine if 60 percent of women wrote a letter to their senator asking that their voices be heard. Add to that the 52 percent of voters who believe women should have the right to choose.
With John Roberts' nomination, these basic "American Values" will be threatened. We have the least amount of power and we need you to hear us. We need you to pass on our message. I guarantee when congressmen are up for election, we're going to remember whether they remembered our rights.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
the appointed judge for 35 years or more.
I was enjoying my coffee and laptop time at a local coffee shop the other afternoon, when four nice-looking and seemingly intelligent KU students at a nearby table got into an elevated conversation about the Green Movement and ecosystems around campus. Let me be specific; they thought it would be a great idea if no combustion engine vehicles were allowed on campus anywhere. They even talked of a "no exhaust" bubble around the campus up to four blocks. One of the young women said she really hated those big semi-trucks that smoke so much.
We know a filibuster is possible, but we need 60 senators to filibuster and ensure the checks and balances in our government.
Although I agree that we need to clean up our air, the KU campus isn't the center of the world. Other cities better qualify for the "Big Clean Up" ideas. We tried adding more MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether) to gasoline, which promptly polluted ground water. Methanol isn't much better. Ethanol from our own corn, however, would work great.
I pointed to a pair of the new style rubber sandals that one of the young ladies had on and asked where she thought they were made. "China or the Philippines, I guess," she responded. I asked one of the guys where the leather on his backpack came from. "The same place, I guess," he said.
I couldn't sit idly by while unfounded thinking by smart folks was filling the air. I simply asked one question of the students, "What exactly would their ideas accomplish?" After a little stammering and thought, they all responded to the old guy (Yes, I went to college and got my degree in the yesteryear). They basically said it would help the air and
environment. I told them that it might provide cleaner brain cells on campus. They enjoyed that comment.
All of these products contain or were made with dangerous chemicals under primitive conditions. They were shipped over the Great Pacific in container ships, driven by diesel or sometimes by trailer train to distribution points in
The sandals were made from a vinyl and synthetic rubber in Italy, shipped to China, and glued together in a small factory by hand. The glue is illegal in the U.S. because it is a carcinogenic until dry. The leather straps are made from U.S. cowhide shipped from our shores to Malaysia, cut to strips in an open straw hut by kids, assembled with snaps and buckles in a small factory, boxed and shipped to China for final backpack assembly. The buckles were made from melted down old ships in India. You get the idea.
I told them they were like Pogo, from the comic strips.
"When you look for the enemy, you'll find the enemy is us."
So students, I charge you to stop living in an isolated campus bubble. Do your homework about what you say and think beforehand. Be aware that Pogo is right. You are also consumers, therefore responsible. Besides, when the cold winter wind blows, do you really expect to see all us old folks walking to campus?
This is the world economy of 2005. Can you make it better for the people of the world? Or would you prefer to hold your breath and hope the problems just go away?

the U.S. From there, the products are sorted and sent to your local store of choice (by the dirty diesels, of course).
Sorry for the message down my long nose. Actually, you guys are our future, and I'm proud to be living in such an enlightened age. After all, when we were young, words such as environment and pollution didn't really exist. We hadn't done our homework yet!

ed. It has a negative connotation that people are not able to overcome. Laws that regulate abortion also deal with women's privacy and contraceptive rights. For instance, Griswold vs. Connecticut guaranteed married women access to legal and reliable health services. Roe vs. Wade gave these same rights to unmarried women. Roe was recently upheld by a narrow 5 to 4 vote, with Sandra Day O'Connor serving as a key swing vote. Roberts' anti-choice stance
could swing the court in another direction and overturn Roe vs. Wade.
I know that in the past, Kansas senators have voted predominantly anti-choice. But keep in mind that Supreme Court Justices serve lifetime positions. This means we're going to have to live with
According to research by Celinda Lake, a pollster, strategist for progressive groups and candidates and a nationally recognized expert on women voters and women candidates, nine-tenths of voters said believed women should have the right to information about and the means to decide freely and responsibly about their bodies and their reproductive health. More specifically, these voters believe it is their right to decide when and how many children to have. At least 144 women at the University of Kansas utilized emergency contraception in 2004 alone, according to officials at Watkins Memorial Health Center. If those services were pulled, at least that many women would be put in a position they clearly didn't want to be in.

This summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to explore London. While there, I came upon a stunning find: London's Musical Mecca is under attack. The British have held their 'stiff upper-lips' through Saxons, Romans and Nazi-Germany, but can they stand strong against the likes of the greedy EMI Records? Copy-protection schemes are ruining the ability to enjoy music in Britain.
The Beatles, Muse and countless other musical sensations walked down the very streets that I was walking down. Their music shaped and was shaped by the grand city and country that they loved. Their music spoke of freedom, of change, of "let[ting] it be."

because the only way to get at the music is by using an incredibly clunky built-in player. The CD won't play in a regular CD player, a car
or on any computer that has a user who refuses to install the player because of fears of spy/adware.
EMI, in an effort to fend off copyright violations, has managed only to vex its normal consumers. Its copy controls did nothing to enhance my listening experience; they merely detracted from it greatly and relegated its CD into being a coaster far too quickly.
Its copy protection scheme did nothing to prevent copying for fair uses. Those who would have gone to the Internet to download songs still will and will have a better listening experience than those who forked over their hard-earned dollars to listen legally.
Music isn't supposed to be solely for the money. It's about the freedom of expression. Unfortunately, EMI doesn't seem to understand that. In fact, its Web site states copyright is there so the "copyright holder is the prime beneficiary of any commercial exploitation of the work."
This is the fundamental flaw in EMI's copyright scheme: music isn't about exploitation and any attempt to make it so will only make consumers less likely to buy its product. EMI needs to listen to their artists. As Queen used to sing: "Fat Bottomed Girls" [and not money] make the rocking world go round.

Royals look ahead after streak ends
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. — Some members of the Royals speak optimistically about following their club-record 19-game skid with a long winning streak.
But the fact is that every other team in the major leagues is better than Kansas City, and the final month and a half of the season could be just as frustrating as the previous three weeks for this inexperienced club.
After rallying to win yesterday's series finale in Oakland 5-4 in 12 innings, the Royals headed home for three games against the Boston Red Sox before a trip to New York for three games.
"Now we've got to wait another year to go on that losing streak," pitcher Jose Lima joked after Kansas City defeated the Athletics 2-1 Saturday to end the longest slide in 17 years.
The Royals stopped their streak two shy of the American League record, and also snapped a 12-game road losing
streak that tied the franchise single-season mark.
Everyone involved hopes they can now relax ever so slightly.
"A lot of guys just smile now," said first baseman Matt Stairs, who contributed an RBI groundout Saturday against his former team. "Guys are not going to be sitting around moping and pressing anymore. It's just nice. It's not the turning point of the season, but it's nice to get the media off our back and not be the highlights on SportsCenter whenever anybody falls down."
The Royals' skid was the longest since Baltimore lost an AL-record 21 in a row at the start of the 1988 season. The major league mark since 1900 is 23 straight losses by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1961.
Kansas City was forced to keep things in perspective as manager Buddy Bell dealt with the death of his nephew, Lance Cpl. Tim Bell Jr., a Marine killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq earlier this month.
Senior middle blocker Josi Lima set the pace individually with four.
The 2005 team also racked up 18 aces against the alumni team.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A bad 10 blocks.
Alumni
Despite their victory, the Jayhawks showed room for improvement. They countered the aces with 21 service errors.
Bechard said the errors were something the team needed to correct before next weekend's season opener against Alabama.
"That is something that jumps out at you," Bechard said. "That's just unacceptable."
Bechard said Kansas should not get used to having so many aces during regular season games.
"When we play a team that is more organized, they're not going to give up that many," he said.
Bechard was not exclusively gloomy after the match ended, though.
The game presented numerous opportunities for players who did not see significant action.
Freshman Kristin Buehler, who took a redshirt last year, had seven kills in just one game, and Megan Hill was impressive in the time she spent on the court.
Those players were able to show off the skills that they bring to the team.
Freshman middle blocker Savannah Noyes, who is fighting for a starting spot, had an efficient night.
She tallied 11 kills at a 562 clip, which led the team.
Senior and fellow middle blocker Josi Lima said Noyes was ready to step in and contribute right away.
"Savannah is going to be great," Lima said. "She is going to help us a lot. She's a very good player."
Lima said the Jayhawks needed to fine-tune some things before the season started.
She said the communication on the court was lacking,but it was something that could be fixed.
"We are getting there," Lima said. "It's just the little things that we have to work on in practice."

Big changes come to OSU

BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
Editor's Note: This is the third of 11 articles, by Daniel Berk, previewing Kansas' competition in the Big 12 Conference. The articles will run every day from now until Sept. 1. Tomorrow the Kansan will look at Texas A&M.
A lot has changed for the Oklahoma State Cowboys since they played their last game against Ohio State in the Alamo Bowl.
Not only did the Cowboys lose staring running back Vernand Morency to the NFL, but the team also lost coach Les Miles. Mites opted to leave Oklahoma State and take a job at Louisiana State.
Mike Gundy will take over for Miles after serving as the team's offensive coordinator since 2001. Gundy won over the Cowboys fans a long time ago when he starred there as a player.
Gundy has been on the job for about six months and said
"We learn on the run, and every day has been a good day for me."
he looked forward to the regular season beginning Sept. 3 against Montana State.
Woods
STATE
Gundy said. "We have had a couple situations in the last six months that are tough, but I am excited and look forward to coming to work every day, more than I ever have been in my life."
It was an emotional offseason for the Cowboys. One of the team's starting backs, Safety Vernon Grant was killed in a car accident in May. Grant was a three-year starter for the Cowboys and was a District VI Academic All-American last season.
In addition to dealing with the loss of Grant, Gundy encountered some disciplinary problems. He has suspended or cut nine players since taking over.
oSu
Problems have ranged from not following team rules to becoming academically ineligible.
Gundy said it was important for the members of his team to consider all their responsibilities, in addition to playing football.
"We talk as a staff, and I talk to the players at times," he said. "These guys pay a great price in order to play football at this level.
We forget at times that they are there to go to school and get a degree so they have an opportunity to be successful someday.
Gundy is ready to forget his first offseason as coach and begin the 2005 season. Like Texas Tech and Kansas, Oklahoma State is expected to open the season 3-0. Its first three games are against Montana State,
Florida Atlantic and Arkansas State.
The Cowboys begin conference play Oct. 1, with a home game against Big 12 North-favorite Colorado.
"They are both very talented and done a great job this summer," Gundy said. "I saw the results from some of the testing somebody put on my desk the other day. They are doing a good job in the weight room, so I would say we play both."
Returning quarterback Donovan Woods should open the season as the team's starting quarterback. Freshman Bobby Reid, who was a redshirt last season, will compete with Woods for minutes. Although Woods started 12 games last season, Reid was challenging for the spot before having season-ending shoulder surgery.
Oklahoma State coaches love Reid's athleticism and were excited for the competition.

"There are different courses for different horses," Randall said. "This isn't the best course for him right now, but it won't surprise me if he plays very well."
Woodland consistently hits his driver more than 330 yards and knocks a pitching wedge past 160.

49er lineman dies after Bronco game
DENVER — As he walked off the field after facing the Denver Broncos, Thomas Herrion was huffing and puffing. A few minutes later, the San Francisco offensive lineman collapsed near his locker. He was rushed to the hospital, pronounced dead at age 23.
The coroner's office in Denver performed an autopsy yesterday, but said no cause of death could be determined until toxicology tests were performed. The tests usually take about three to six weeks.

Former KU bowler takes over Jaybowl, coaches team
Jayhawk returns
BY JASON ELMQIST
jelmquist@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas bowling team did not look far for its new coach. Former Kansas bowler Alan Emmons filled the position vacated by former coach Mike Fine.
Emmons was chosen from four candidates who interviewed to take over as coaching and recreation coordinator for Fine, who left to take a coaching position at Florida State.
"When we looked at the pros and the cons of each candidate, Alan had more pros than anyone else and that why we decided to go with Alan," Director of Union Operations Jim Waite said. "The fact that he worked in the Jaybowl for four years as a student employee, was on the bowling team, well-liked by the bowling team members and Mike Fine spoke highly of him, all that helped, without a doubt."
Waite served as the chair on the search committee in finding a replacement. Senior bowler Zach Taylor was also a member of the search committee and said it was a positive choice because bowlers who were at KU would not have to worry about a drastic overhaul.
Emmons was a member of the men's bowling team for three of his four years at Kansas, and was on the National Championship team in 2004, his senior year. He also worked for the Jaybowl for four years.
Emmons said the fact that the bowlers were familiar with him should make the transition go smoothly.
"We weren't going to have a big changing of the guard. Things would remain pretty much the same as they had been," Taylor said. "I felt that was a good thing for people that had already signed up."
"A lot of the people that are coming back know how I led the team with Marc D'Errico, my senior year, and a lot of them are anxious to step up to the role," he said. "They know where I'm from and they know that I'm very open and they can present anything they want, to me."
The former bowler will not only be working with the bowling team. He will also be in charge of lavowl operations.
"My primary concern is that the Jaybowl, financially, becomes a success," Waite said. "The focus is on the retail side. We had a really rough year last year."
Whether it's coaching one of the top bowling teams in the nation or running a bowling alley, Emmons will have the shadow of a coach of the year and national championship looming over him. Nevertheless, after only two months, he has impressed Waite.
"Alan has already shown to me that he's working his butt off trying to get that place up and running and ready for fall," Waite said. "Hopefully if he follows the path he is, I think we'll be OK."

Kansas knocks off Drake
Coach Francis: Freshmen performed better than every other group on the field
KANSAS 8 4

Junior defender Holly Gault passes the ball around Drake's Andrea Schmitz, senior forward, during Saturday's exhibition. The Jayhawks defeated the Bulldogs 2-1.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Despite the rain-soaked field, uniforms and soccer balls, Kansas hung on for a 2-1 victory against the Drake Bulldogs Saturday at the Jawhawk Soccer Complex.
The exhibition game was a success, complete with a Jayhawk victory, tables of victorious athletes signing autographs after the game and plastic leis for all.
"The confidence is always good when you win," coach Mark Francis said.
Kansas jumped on top early because of two Smiths.
Senior forward Jessica Smith shot and hit the goal post, in the ninth minute.
As the ball bounced away, senior forward Caroline Smith was there to knock it back in.
"I think I did all right. I think I can do better," Caroline Smith said.
"I'm a better player now than I was last year. I've done everything I'm supposed to, now it's just a matter of me stepping on the field and playing."
Kansas continued to send shots at Drake's junior goalkeeper, Erin Jarvis, outshooting Drake 13-4.
Even though Drake took three times as many shots, it wasn't until the 43rd minute that Kansas scored again.
In a double-assisted effort, freshman forward Sara Rogers scored her first goal as a Jayhawk.
Forwards Lacey Novak, junior, and Jennifer Thomas, sophomore, each received an assist.
Rogers and the rest of the freshmen were the consensus best group in the game.
All of them got playing time and midfielders Jenny Murtaugh,
Francis and Caroline Smith both agreed they played the best against Drake.
Jessica Bush and Missy Geha all took the field as starters.
Murtaugh played all 90 minutes of the match.
"I thought, as a class, the freshmen were the best on the field," Caroline Smith said.
Although all of Kansas' scoring came in the first half, the team preferred the play in the second half.
"The second half was a little bit better," Francis said. "We kept the ball a little bit better."
Drake got on the board in the 75th minute of the match. A high shot soared over freshman goal- keeper Julie Hanley's head.
Hanley played the entire second half of the game while sophomore keeper Colleen Quinn spent the first half in goal.
"The speed of play is something I am not used to." Hanley said. "It's going to take time. I thought I did some things wrong, like I definitely mistimed the ball."
Senior forward and defender Sara Foote put the ball past Hanley to score the only Bulldog goal of the afternoon.
Other than -allowing the goal, the Kansas defense put on a show throughout the game.
The defense, led by junior defender Holly Gault, allowed the Drake Bulldogs only four shots on goal.
Neither Gault nor Francis,however,were particularly pleased with the defensive execution.
"We did all right. We got caught out of position," Gault said. "I have a lot to do. I definitely made some mistakes."
Francis echoed that sentiment.
"Defensively, I think we've got some work to do," Francis said. "We're a little disorganized, especially in the midfield. That's why we have exhibition games."
showing the Bulldogs just how fast and how physical life is in the Big 12 Conference.
The Jahawks' physical intensity also rose to the occasion Saturday,
CONFIDENCE Drake coach Corbin Stone disagreed with the referees' foul calls and no-calls loudly and often.
"We were definitely a little quicker to the ball than they were. We were more physical and I think they were surprised at that," Francis said. "Corbin's a good friend of mine, but he likes to whine a bit. He was justified, I think, in some of the things he was complaining
about."
The final score may not have been exactly what the Jayhawks were looking for, but they are excited to prove that this year's team is not inferior to the last.
"We're not going to be as far along at this point as we were last year," Francis said. "They're still learning. It just takes time. Fortunately we have four days left before we play Michigan."

FOOTBALL
Offensive line ready to protect quarterback
2 HOMEBACKS 5 7 31

KANSAN SHOP SPORTWRITER
Each of the past three seasons, the Kansas football team has lost its starting quarterback at some point during the season to injury.
This season, members of the offensive line are making it their objective to keep the starting quarterback healthy for the whole season. The quarterback is still undecided.
The Jayhawk offensive line, in blue jerseys, squares off against the defensive line in practice Wednesday. The team will meet real competition in its first name against Florida Atlantic, on Seat 3, at Memorial Stadium.
"We have a lot of guys at the quarterback position that can really play well," said Travis Dambach, junior offensive guard. "We are going to do everything we can to make sure nothing happens to any of them."
Justin O'Neal/KANSAN
David Ochoa, junior center, will anchor the line this year after being named one of the team captains. Ochoa will make the move from offensive guard, where he started all 11 games last year.
Keeping the quarterback healthy should be a bit easier than years past, as the offensive line is one of the most experienced units on the team.
Ochoa will try to fill the void left by Joe Vaughn, who graduated last year. Vaughn was a two year starter for the Jayhawks. He will be the only player replaced on the line this year.
"I think the offensive line will be a strength," Mangino said. "We did lose a very good center, and once we get that position solidified, we should be in good shape."
Coach Mark Mangino is confident in the offensive line, but knows Vaughn will be missed.
Sophomore Todd Haselhorst was expected to be the team's starting
Junior Bob Whitaker will be the starter at one of the guard positions after starting all 11 games at the left guard position last season. Right now, the other guard figures to be junior college transfer Jake Cox. Cox will take Ochoa's spot on the offensive line.
center, but was moved to second team guard early in preseason practice.
Mangino said he has been pleased with Cox during practice, and expects him to be a factor this season.
Senior Matt Thompson will anchor the tackle position this year after starting all 11 games at left tackle last season. Thompson was named first team Academic All-Big 12 last year, and looks to be a leader on the line this year.
"He's going to win a job at one of the guard spots," Mangino said. "There is no question in my mind."
The other tackle position figures to be filled by sophomore Cesar Rodriguez, Rodriguez had a solid freshman campaign, playing in 10 games and starting six at the right
tackle spot.
Rodriguez impressed coaches enough to be selected as the offensive player of the game against Iowa State, last year, making him the only lineman to be chosen all season.
Dambach, Haselhorst, freshman Anthony Collins, freshman Ryan Cantrell and freshman Scott Haverkamp will provide depth at the offensive line and could all potentially see action.

Jayhawk has best summer of his career
All of golf's majors are over. Tiger had a wonderful stretch. Phil somehow won the PGA Championship. What's the point in watching golf on TV now? For Jayhawks and Kansans there's one good reason — Gary Woodland.
The junior golfer is playing the best golf of his life. He has captured three different Kansas Golf Association championships in the last month, The KGA Fourball, the Father-Son Championship and the 95th Kansas Amateur Championship. And I almost forgot — he's in Ardmore, Pa., today to play in the 105th U.S. Amateur Championship at Merion Golf Club.
"I'm not thinking about qualifying for the matches," Woodland said. "I think that would be setting the bar too low. In my mind I'm thinking about winning the dang thing."
Woodland defeated senior teammate Pete Krsnich in a one-hole play off at the U.S. Amateur Sectional Qualifier — at Alvamar Golf and Country Club — on July 25 to qualify for the event. He is the second Kansas golfer in two years to qualify for the event. Last year, junior Tyler Docking played and advanced to become one of the last 16 players to be eliminated. Docking finished higher than any other Jayhawk in Kansas golf coach Ross Randall's 25 years.
On paper, the historic East Course at Merion doesn't set up well for Woodland's game. At 6,600 yards, Merion is short and narrow.
"I think that Gary has a real good shot to beat that this year," Randall said. "He's improved a lot. Now he can score better than he plays."
On Aug. 9, Woodland and his father, Dan, cruised to victory in the Father-Son Championship at Shawnee Country Club in Topeka. In the first round, Gary broke the course record with a 61. He followed that with a final round 64. They were the best back-to-back rounds Woodland has put together.
He's defeated everyone in Kansas this summer. He's winning nearly every tournament he plays in. He's starting to make a name for himself on the national golf scene.
Now he's going to Merion to prove that he can play on the national level, and his goal isn't just to make it to match play.

'Hawks sweep match with alumni
Kansas defeated its alumni counterpart 3-0 Saturday, before winning a fourth match, just for fun. The match featured high action and competition despite its fun nature. The Jayhawks hustled their way to a 30-25 victory in game one, with senior outside hitter Paula Caten even losing a shoe.

The quick pace continued in game two, which Kansas won 30-24. Caten had seven kills, and junior defensive specialist/libero Jamie Mathewson had six digs in the game.
Game three featured the most spectacular point of the night. Leading 11-10, the current Jayhawks made three diving plays to return the ball to the alumni side of the net, eventually winning the point en route to a 30-26 victory. Game four was the least competitive of the night, with Kansas winning 30-22.
The alumni squad, which featured recent grads such as Lindsey Morris, 2004, and Abbie Jacobson, 2003, provided an early test for Kansas. The alumni have quite a bit of athleticism, which Kansas coach Ray Bechard believed was important for the current Jaj Hawkys to face.
"We wanted to make it as competitive as possible," Beachard said. "I think we got a pretty good group together to do that."
Junior outside hitter Jana Correa led the current Jayhawks with 13 kills. In total, Kansas had three players reach double figures in kills. Mathewson and junior defensive specialist/libero Dani Wittman had 10 digs each. As a team, the Jayhawks

FedEx Kinko's considers Union
Change confuses former workers
BY STEPHEN LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Printing services officially closed June 30, and John Saylor still doesn't know exactly why it happened.
Printing services would have moved its digital copying equipment from its former location in 1530 Wesco to a space in the Kansas Union, but at the last minute, FedEx Kinko's took its place, he said.
"It wasn't a decision made by me or recommended by staff," said Sayler, former director of KU Printing Services. "It's something that came from Strong Hall."
"I don't know what happened," said David Mucci, director of the Kansas Union. "Our role in it was providing a space for Kinko's to lease."
The Kansas Union already printed most of its paperwork at the FedEx Kinko's, 911 Massachusetts St. location, Mucci said. But the Union was required to send its paperwork through the printing services when it was in service.
The University could not disclose exactly why it chose Kinko's, said Barry Swanson, associate comptroller of purchasing at the University of Kansas. Although it has been announced that the University has chosen FedEx Kinko's, the contract has not been signed, so specific information could not be given.
Most of the employees at Printing Services found jobs, with some taking a substantial pay cut, Saylor said. Pay at the state level increases over a number of years, and many employees had worked there for 10 to 15 years; he said.
Printer classifications are similar to certifications needed for other technical trades, like plumbing and carpentry, Sayler said. Printing Services employed 16 of these skilled workers, and eight unskilled clerical workers. Two skilled employees from upper management plus Sayler retired following the change.
"I was planning on retiring anyway, but the timing was not my choice." Savler said.
The Union was required to conduct business with KU Printing Services, which the University began downsizing in January, Mucci said.
Mucci said there were advantages to having a campus location.
If the University approves a contract with FedEx Kinko's, with whom the state has already signed a contract, better efficiency could result, Swanson said.
Contract slows move to campus
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
If the plan goes as it was drawn up, students may be only a few months away from making copies without stepping off campus.
The University of Kansas is in negotiations with FedEx Kinko's to develop a contract to bring the company to the Kansas Union. Pat Beard, director of Building Services KU Memorial Unions, said he hoped to have FedEx Kinko's available by late October or early November.
"We've not got a lease agreement yet. As I understand they are still negotiating their contract with the state for that service. Once they've confirmed a contract with the University then we'll look in earnest at Level 3 South Atrium space," Beard said.
Beard said the goal was to create a mini-mall environment in the Kansas Union to provide students with all their needs.
"We're starting to kind of develop a hub here and that's kind of our role on campus. Our goal is to make it as convenient as possible and this is one of those conveniences we can add," Beard said.
Nicole Westerbeck, Leavenworth senior, said she thought that the location would be more convenient than the downtown business for students, especially those who lived on campus.
"It's closer for people in dorms and it'll be more convenient for
Carrie Callen, Garden City senior, said there was a definite need for a FedEx Kinko's on campus but disagreed with the location.
people on campus," Westbeck said.
"I think it's a bad location. I think it should be more centrally located." Callen said.
Lacey Hautzinger, spokesperson for FedEx Kinko's, said the company already had 29 campus locations nationwide and planned to provide packaging and shipping, self-service black and white printing, and full staff to assist students with more advanced projects.
"We should be providing all of our standard services," Hautzinger said.
The Union's use of postal services such as Mail Boxes Etc. and US Postal Service has not been successful in the past. All University departments had to print through KU Printing Services, leaving only student business for the Union. Students alone did not generate enough profit for the Kansas Union's postal services.
"You can't really generate a profit on stamps." Beard said.
Now that Printing Services has closed, Beard said he predicted that FedEx Kinko's would have more business than past postal services because University departments as well as students would use it.
"We were competing with KU services, who had an exclusivity for printing services here on campus. When they closed, that kind of opened the door for the income that could be derived from a copy operation," Beard said.

The construction on the east side of the fieldhouse will eventually display the history of the Kansas' most outstanding teams and athletes. This addition to the fieldhouse will be called The Booth Family Hall of Athletics and will also include a new ticket office and Naismith Lounge.

While the construction at Allen Fieldhouse continues, students debate changes made to the 50-year-old structure.
The construction had students, like Pat Swain, St. Paul, Minn., freshman, wondering how it would affect the atmosphere of the building.
"It's old and has a lot of tradition," Swain said. "It was just more authentic."
But 31 percent agreed with the statement that the fieldhouse was a piece of history and should have remained unchanged.
According to an unscientific Kansan online poll, 37 percent of students responded that the fieldhouse was old and needed a face-lift.
Twenty-seven percent voted that things change, and the finished outcome would look good.
Three percent of students responded they weren't interested in the changes because they disliked
basketball. In total, 223 students participated in the poll.
Swain said he wished that the fieldhouse had been left in its original condition because of its importance in the history and in the tradition of Kansas basketball.
Not all agree with Swain that the construction could damage the old-time feel of the fieldhouse.
Brad Jurgensmeier, Marion, Ill., sophomore, said that the construction was needed to help the Athletics Department stay competitive with other Big
12 Conference schools and keep up with the latest technology.
"It's just going to make it that much better," Jurgensmeier said. "I think it's a great idea."
"We have been very, very careful to make sure that the atmosphere at Allen Fieldhouse will not change." Marchiony said. "The feeling in the arena will be exactly the same."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the department had shared similar concerns of students like Swain.

Flier accuses bookstore

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Someone's got it in for KU Bookstores.
Last week, a sidewalk chalking on campus said that KU Bookstores were unfair to their workers. This week, specific allegations were posted on a flier in Murphy Hall.
The allegations ranged from employees not getting a fair- or living-wage to employees being terminated without cause.
David Mucci, Memorial Unions director, said the allegations did not represent how the student unions and the bookstores treat their employees.
Seems like they try to be fair across the board."
Rena Taylor Former employee
"I think that this is someone who is misinformed," Mucci said. "They're intentionally twisting facts for their own benefit."
Rena Taylor worked at the Kansas Union bookstore temporarily as a cashier during the rush at the beginning of the
semester. She said that she has had no problems with the bookstores and heard no complaints from other workers.
"Seems like they try to be fair across the board." Taylor said.
One of the eleven allegations stated that the director of Memorial Unions terminated an entire department without any evidence that the employees in that department did anything wrong.
Mucci said he thought that incident might involve the firing of employees of the shipping and receiving department two years ago.

HEALTH
Change in policy makes doctor's notes elusive
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Health Services changed its policy on notes excusing illness or injury. The new policy took effect at the beginning of this semester.
Denning said the University of Kansas was the only school in the Big 12 with an illness or injury note policy, but the part of the policy requiring three or more consecutive absences followed federal guidelines.
According to a flier sent out last spring by Student Health Services, students would receive only notes verifying their infirmity if two conditions were met.
Denning said the change was made to lower the amount of appointments so students who needed actual medical attention would receive care in a timely manner.
First, the patient must have received treatment by Student Health Services or provide documentation of treatment by another health care provider. Second, the patient must have been absent for three or more consecutive days.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that in the past, a large number of appointments had been made by students who wanted only a class note for an illness the Health Center never treated them for.
According to the flier, students who were treated at Watkins, but were absent fewer than three days could complete an authorization for use/disclosure form. The form allows students to receive a copy of their medical record proving they received treatment. Processing the request could take up to 10 days.
"They may well have been sick,but I didn't see them,which made it hard to validate."she said.
Students throughout campus had mixed reactions to the change.
"I hate it," Cody McCullough, Wichita junior, said. "I think it's unfair because if you are sick, it can be for less than three days and still be legitimate."
Class notes will be given when the following conditions are met:
Patients have received care/treatment by Student Health Services or have documentation of treatment provided by another health care provider.
*Patients miss three or more consecutive days because of extended illness or injury.
Patients who are not eligible for a class note but would like documentation of visits at Student Health Services may obtain a copy of their medical records by completing an AUTHORIZATION FOR USE/DISCLOSURE form. This request could take up to 10 days to process.

Cassie Fernandez, Olathe sophomore, said she thought the change was a good idea.
"I guess it will make it harder for students to skin" she said.
Bradley Carter, professor of humanities and western civilization, said the new policy would not make a difference in his classes, because he allowed his students only three absences, no matter the cause.
Allan Hanson, professor of Anthropology, said that if a student could not produce a note because they were absent fewer than three days, he would work it out on a case-by-case basis.
"I've tried to avoid adjudication whether an absence is excused or not," he said. "Overall, I think it's a good policy change for those teaching staff who do excuse absences."
"I think that when a student visits the health center, they should be excused," he said.

Izaguirre said HAWK Link advisers began considering expansion of the program to include sophomores when more freshmen began asking what to do for their next year. The advisers came up with Transitions, which will follow the same format as the HAWK Link freshmen program.
The program focuses on the needs of sophomores, emphasizing heavily on academic resources, choosing a major, applying to their school or program, searching for internships, and working with the other departments to attain those resources. About 30 students are currently enrolled in the new program.
According to the HAWK Link Web site, the program works with several on-campus offices and departments to facilitate student's knowledge of services offered by the University. Throughout their freshman year, students can also go to monthly Academic Success Workshops that deal with topics such as advising, financial aid, living and learning communities and student involvement.
Like many incoming freshmen, Antwan Winkfield worried about making the transition from high school to a large university. During Hawk Week, volunteers recruited Winkfield to join HAWK Link, a free, academic-based retention program aimed at freshmen students of color. He then got the help he needed, but his optimism soon turned to fear once the school year was finished.
Alicia Lopez, St. Louis junior, said she could sense a perceptible difference between those in the HAWK Link program and those who weren't.
"The friends I had who didn't do HAWK Link didn't know about a lot of helpful things like the student educational office or how to fill out a FAFSA form. I think everyone in the program definitely felt more prepared for sophomore year too." Lopez said.
Another component of HAWK Link is the stEp Program, which is designed to motivate students in adjusting and succeeding at the University. The HAWK Link Web site said participants met weekly with their mentors to have their homework reviewed, papers proofread and questions answered about life at the University.
"After freshmen year, I thought to myself, 'What am I gonna do next year?'." Winkfield, Kansas City, Mio., junior, said.
Winkfield is just one student who found himself faced with the same problem: they received help freshmen year but didn't know where to go for help sophomore year. To fill the void, the Office of Multicultural Affairs created Transitions, a similar program geared toward sophomores. According to Juan Izaguirre, assistant director of Office of Multicultural Affairs, this year will be the first time Transitions is offered and will serve as the pilot program for future classes.

Thirty-six students were enrolled in the program that year and had a 78 percent retention rate, Izagirre said. The percentage was higher than the overall rate of students of color.
"My mentor was really good. She'd get on me about making my goals each week and I would even be scared to meet with her when I hadn't met my goals but I needed
"The friends I had who didn't do HAWK Link didn't know about a lot of helpful things like the student educational office or how to fill out a FAFSA form."
Before Transitions was offered, students who graduated from the program would stay involved by recruiting new students, serving as mentors to those freshmen in the program and sitting on panels where they provided personal feedback to their success from HAWK Link.
The retention rate increased from 78 percent in its first year to the current 87 percent. The retention rate has increased steadily throughout the years and has maintained a percentage between 84 and 88 percent.
that discipline. Winkfield said. The HAWK Link advisory board first met in 1999 as a reaction to the low retention rates of minority students from freshmen year to sophomore year. The board began to address different issues in increasing the retention rate and finding a way to keep students at the University. The HAWK Link program is a group of people within the OMA and led by its director, Robert N. Page, Ir.
that discipline." Winkfield said.
"We can truly say that the program works." Izaguire said.
"Once students graduate from the program, they become vested in its mission and often come back to help," Garcia said.
Despite the success of the HAWK Link program, Aida Garcia, a graduate student assistant for the OMA, said it's obvious that a follow-up program would be beneficial. Garcia said she noticed more freshmen coming to the office not knowing what to do once they graduated from the program.
"It's easy to get lost in the shuffle because sophomore year is a transitional one. Lots of people change their majors or still need some guidance," Garcia said.

Doctoral student dies
Saudi Arabia native described as quiet, well-liked and outgoing
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Although Islamic tradition discourages talking about the deceased, friends of doctoral student Abdulrahman Alhomoud spoke highly of the Saudi native.
Sara Rosen, chairwoman of the department of linguistics, said the loss came as a shock. She said his kind personality would be missed.
"He was a very hard worker and very close with the graduate students," Rosen said.
Alhoudm, a KU doctoral student in linguistics, died on Wednesday of natural causes in his apartment, the coroner's office said. He was 37 years old.
Alhomoud was beginning the third year of his doctoral studies. He is survived by his wife and five children.
Alhomoud also was an active member of the Islamic Center of Lawrence and had developed
Moussa Elbayoumy, a friend of Alhomoud and facilities manager of the Islamic Society of Lawrence, said Alhomoud had been a shv. wonderful person.
many friendships there.
"He was quiet, but an outgoing man. He was well-liked by people around him," he said.
According to Islamic beliefs, writing obituaries is against tradition; Alhoudou's friends and family were reluctant to speak of his life.
Elbayoumy said Alhomoud's remains would be returned to Saudi Arabia and buried after a simple funeral.
"It doesn't do the deceased any good to talk about how good they are," Elbayoumy said. "It doesn't promote the healing of the bereaved and help them accept death as a fact. In our belief, only the deeds in their lives count in their favor."
Messages of condolence can be sent to the Islamic Center of Lawrence, 1917 Nismith Drive.

For nearly 25 years, the Lawrence artist has been known for turning fields into portraits, still lifes and commercial advertisements to be viewed from the air, using natural elements such as crops, rocks and flowers.
A poster-sized aerial photograph of the project will be on sale at the fair.
TOPEKA - Artist Stan Herd figures he'll be busy this week getting his latest crop-art project in shape for its viewing — a 200-foot replica of the quarter commemorating Kansas, with a giant buffalo, carved in an alfalfa field near Hutchinson.
Herd said Monday he's about halfway through the project under way in a 1-acre field not far from the Kansas State Fairgrounds, where the quarter will make its state debut on Sept. 9. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius plans to lead the celebration for the official launch of the coin.

He said his $7,000 fee — about one-third what he normally charges for such a project — is financed mainly by SBC of Kansas, the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas, the Topeka Community Foundation and the Kansas Museum of History Foundation.

Jayhawk women celebrate success
The new "Women of Distinction" poster-calendar is out and ready to be tacked on walls.
Marge Heard Franklin, cofounder of an environmental consulting agency in Prairie Village called Franklin Associates, Ltd., is one of the women who appeared on the calendar. She said she was proud to appear as a role model to younger women.
The free poster includes pictures and brief biographies of 19 high-achieving female students, alumni, faculty and staff, as well as a calendar of the academic year.
"I think often-times people are not aware of the important contributions women make to the campus and to the community at large," Rose-Mockry said.
Two years ago, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center director Katherine Rose-Mockry led the effort to produce the poster-calendar, partly in response to the "Women of KU" calendar, which features KU women in revealing outfits.
Franklin graduated in 1959 as the first woman to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering from the University.
"From my perspective, there still aren't enough women in engineering" she said.
The poster-calendar is available at all KU Bookstores, including the KU Edwards Campus bookstore, and at the Student Involvement and Leadership Center in the Kansas Union.

"Those communications are now handled by departments rather than centrally," Warner said. "A lot of cost would need to be incurred to keep Printing Services open."
According to an article in The University Daily Kansan, KU Printing Services' profits have declined in recent years. The article said that the printing service printed forms and documents for the Lawrence campus and made $2.5 million in printing jobs last year, a decrease of $500 thousand three years ago.

Marchiony said that the interior renovations, including the new video board, were meant to enhance the old-time atmosphere.
"The students will be very pleased," he said. "When they see what Allen Fieldhouse will look like, it will look like Allen Fieldhouse with a terrific face-lift."
Renovations to the interior of the fieldhouse included an improved lighting and sound system, fresh paint for the ceiling and benches, refurbished chair-back seats, renovated bathrooms and a new
four-panel video board. A new court also is being installed.
The Booth Family Hall of Athletics, which will house exhibits and interactive displays on the University's greatest teams and student athletes, is under construction on the east side of the fieldhouse. The hall also will house a new ticket office, merchandise store, a room for players and recruits and Naismith Lounge, an area for ticket holders.
Construction on the Hall of Athletics began earlier this summer and is expected to be completed before the first men's basketball game, Nov. 18, against Idaho State.

There was theft in that department and the bookstores eliminated the employees. The employees were given two weeks notice with pay and the department was totally restructured, Mucci said.
The fliers also alleged that the unions and book-stores rarely promote from their own employees.
Tim Norris, KU Bookstores director, said a great majority of promotions have been in-house.
"There's a good mix of long-term employees and new people," Norris said. "If anything, I have been moving people up above-average."
Another allegation is that holiday bonuses were cancelled and the bookstore manager had custom furniture built for his office.
Norris said he promoted five people, a merchandising manager, a clothing buyer position and two textbook positions from within the bookstores. Three people have been recently hired from outside also, Norris said.
Mucci said that the Union gave all its employees $25 gift cards to the bookstore up until 2004. For

2004, the department redirected the money for the gift cards to a holiday party for employees.
The furniture put into the office of Tim Norris, KU Bookstores manager, was built by Kansas Correctional Industries and installed in summer 2004, Mucci said. Three other offices also received new office furniture at that same time.
The gift cards were becoming cumbersome to report because they were taxable for employees and had to be reported by the bookstores, Mucci said.

THE CARDINAL DIRECTION
One woman's protest reignites war discussion
Cindy Sheehan, once humble grieving mother, has now turned into a talking head for the anti-war and anti-Bush movement.
Cindy is the mother of an American soldier killed in Iraq.
Every day, as her entourage grows, the authenticity that won her prominence in the first place has diminished, but the national debate about the War is heating back up because of her actions.
She has been camping out in front of President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, in symbolic protest, demanding to meet with the President to ask him one simple question: What is the noble cause behind the Iraq war?
She departed the ranch Thursday, when her mother had a stroke.
Her actions have re-ignited anti-war and anti-Bush sentiment during a time when the movement has been waning, lacking the galvanizing symbol to inspire action.
Now, Cindy has become that symbol, but at a cost.
Her one woman protest has turned into a circus of interest groups controlling her message, which in turn is destroying the legitimacy of her personal mission.
Groups such as MoveOn.org, which works to bring real Americans back into the political process, its public relations firm Fenton Communications and Democracy for America have all stepped in and taken over.
Cindy is no longer the lonesome, grieving mother the media portrays her as, but rather a talking head for the people giving her support.
The demands of one woman, standing alone in front of the President's ranch on a country, dirt road have inspired thousands to act.
CHRIS CARDINAL
opinion@kansan.com
The message machine Fenton Communications came up with a simple, catchy analogy for Cindy as stated by Tom Matzzie. MoveOn.org's Washington director, "Cindy is the Rosa Parks of the peace movement in 2005.
Cindy, Rosa Parks, Paul Revere — they're people who try to start something."
Comparing Cindy Sheehan to Rosa Parks is a vast stretch.
Rosa Parks' problems resulted in her arrest and trial, a 381-day Montgomery bus boycott, and, finally, the Supreme Court's ruling in November 1956 that segregation on transportation is unconstitutional.
Cindy's actions will not result in any precedent-setting Supreme Court cases.
What Cindy has started, although highly influenced by outside groups, is something that has the potential to focus the apathetic American public's eye onto the substantial problems in front of us.
Grieving mothers who have lost their children and loved ones in war hold an important place in history, with momentous achievements in Latin America and abroad.
Every movement has a single moment when it torques up, and Cindy's effort may have broken the camel's back here in the United States.
The demands of one despairing, enraged woman, standing alone in front of the President's ranch on a country, dirt road have inspired thousands to act.
According to MoveOn.org, last Wednesday, tens of thousands of supporters gathered at 1,627 vigils to acknowledge the sacrifices made by Cindy Shee-

message.
han's son, Casey, and more than 1,800 brave American men and women who have given their lives in Iraq — and their moms and families.
Cindy will never be an idol, looked up to by middle school children in history class, but her persona, twisted by the deconstructive nature of the media, will be carried on through political experts to promote their pre-fabricated message.
We are no longer being shown the heart of a mother grieving the loss of a child; instead, we are being sold the idea of that mother, which is marketable by the interest groups who are spending days developing the perfect sound bite and visual for Fox or CNN.

High-tech library loses its charm
"This place is suitable only for technocrats,not for scholars,and the administration could do better than this soulless lobby."
I am just back from a research mission that took me to several European libraries, one of many such trips in my career across several continents because I am a career literary scholar and a past Guggenheim Fellow. It was nice to come home, however, and enjoy our beautiful campus, as well as the neo-Gothic architecture of Watson Library, centrally located to be our showcase. That library was the specific reason I came to the University.
what libraries are supposed to be for: books. The reference volumes had been shoved far to the back, with only the wooden ends of their cases showing.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Now that the books are behind the scenes, what we have is a replica of a post office or an Internal Revenue Service building. I wonder how much all these computers cost, considering that most faculty offices and students already have them. This place is suitable only for technocrats, not for scholars, and the administration could do better than this soulless lobby.

The Associated Press
Cardinals 30
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Mark Mulder throws a pitch to Pittsburgh Pirates' Jason Bay in the first inning of his 3-1 win over the Pirates in Pittsburgh on Monday.
Cards cruise to victory
BY ALAN ROBINSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH - Mark Mulder beat the Pirates for the fifth time in as many career starts against them, limiting Pittsburgh to three hits in eight innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals started a 13-game road trip successfully by winning 3-1 Monday night.
Abraham Nunez, a former Pirates infielder who was released by one of the majors' worst teams after last season only to hook on with one of its best, went 3-for-4 to raise his average to .311 for the Cardinals. The utility infielder drove in a run
and figured in both of their scoring innings.
A bad matchup on paper for the Pirates — Mulder vs. Josh Fogg — turned out to be exactly that as Mulder beat them for the third time in as many starts this season. Fogg (6-9) gave up three runs and 11 hits in five innings and is 1-8 with an 8.47 ERA in 10 career starts against the Cardinals, who improved their major league-best road record to 38-22.
Jason Isringhausen pitched the ninth for his 33rd save in 36 opportunities as Mulder, denied his second consecutive complete game, was lifted after throwing 94 pitches.
Aggies
vote him that accolade."
McNeal isn't the only star on the offensive side of the ball this season. The Aggies welcome back leading rusher Courtney Lewis. Two seasons ago, Lewis was named a freshman All-American and ran for more than 1,000 yards. Last season, he was hampered by injury and rushed for only 742 yards.

This season, Lewis is healthy and A&M coaches expect big.
things from him. Franchione said keeping Lewis healthy would be key for the team.
The Aggies are also excited about the addition of Martellus Bennett, freshman tight end. Bennett was ranked as the top recruit in the Big 12 by several recruiting Web sites and will most likely play instead of taking a redshirt.
On defense, the Aggies are led by senior safety Jaxson Appel. Appel was named to the Big 12 Media Preseason Football team and will captain the defense this year.
Franchione said Appel was
a rock solid guy who was the leader of the defense and made sure that all the players were getting in the right position every play.
Appel isn't the only returning starter on defense that could have a big season. Johnny Jolly, senior defensive tackle, returns for his final season. Jolly will be the leader on the defensive line and will try to fill the void left by defensive tackle Mike Montgomery.
The Aggies are also excited about freshman cornerback Danny Gorrer who took a red-shirt last season. Appel thinks
Gorrer could become one of the best cornerbacks in the conference.
"He wants to win. He wants to be one of the stars on the defense," Appel said. "I think he has tremendous work ethic."
The Aggies open the season with a tough road test at Clemson and open their conference season in a rematch with Baylor. The Aggies will finish their season with a road game at Oklahoma followed by a home game against Texas.

have a lot of experience on the field so I show them how it's done and how to do things like find the hole in a zone defense," Simmons said.
As for the tight end position, sophomore Derek Fine figures to be the starter. Fine caught only two catches for 16 yards last season, but Mangino was pleased with his work during the offseason.
Russell Brorsen, freshman tight end, is the leading candidate to be the backup to Fine, and could see significant time
on the field. Brorsen came to Kansas as a defensive end, but was moved to offense early in preseason practice.
"The position is new to me," Brorsen said. "I played a little tight end in high school but I played mostly on defense. I really don't know what to expect but the guys on the offense are helping me a lot."
Another freshman could have an impact at tight end as well. Josh Bell looked good in practices, but Mangino considered giving Bell a redshirt if he doesn't feel he is ready for the season.

far it looks as if this team is using
that philosophy as a battle cry.
After all, when Bill Snyder retires, K-State could return to its once lowly depths.
Colorado will always be a player nationally every so often.
Iowa State, despite recent success, will always be fighting Nebraska and Iowa for recruits.
So it will be really good every four years and then have to reload.
Missouri will be consistently inconsistent.
Nebraska is the one that should scare people.
Under coach Bill Callahan, recruits are beginning to stream in, and signs point to Husker football being back in a new way.
If Kansas wants to throw its hat in the ring and have a say in the future, it starts here.
What happens this year could shape the future and help to change the perception that has loomed over the North side of the hill for too long.

said. "It was partly the umpire's fault because it was evident the guy was throwing at him."
Andy Van Slyke, who was known for his competitiveness and hard-nosed play during his professional career, had an idea of what his son should have done instead of charging the mound and ultimately injuring his shoulder.
"AI should have just gone to first, stole second, stole third, scored and then flipped the guy off at home plate." Andy Van Slyke said. "You play the game to beat the other guy, not to beat him up."
A team trainer popped the
shoulder back into place in the locker room during the conclusion of the game, which New Jersey won 13-6.
Four players were ejected from the game, including Van Slyke, Martinez and Poppert. Martinez was suspended for nine games and Van Slyke was suspended a minimum of three games, an amount to be announced by the league's president. He also was fined an undisclosed amount.
The next day, Van Slyke returned to St. Louis to have his shoulder examined by the head doctor for New Jersey's parent club, the St. Louis Cardinals. Dr. George Paletta found a 60 percent tear of his labrum and performed surgery to repair the injury.
With his arm in a sling, Van Slyke will miss the rest of the season.
"They said I will be in a sling for about four more weeks, at which time my shoulder will be structurally fine," Van Slyke said. "I will then start rehab, and should be fully recovered in about two and a half months, well before the start of spring training."
The injury couldn't have come at a worse time for Van Slyke, who was riding a hot streak at the plate.
He hit .380 with two homers and 14 RBI in 13 games for Rookie League affiliate Johnson City, before his promotion to New Jersey.
His hot hitting continued there, where he was hitting 343 with 12
hits and two homers in just nine games before the injury.
Van Slyke should begin next season at New Jersey, but his hot hitting could have earned him another promotion.
"They saw what I can do," Van Slyke said. "They know I can hit. The injury set me back a little bit, but I will have to just go to spring training and play the best I can play and just see what happens."
Though Van Slyke's team for next season is still uncertain, one thing is for sure.
The next time he's hit by a pitch, he'll think twice before charging the mound.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
ESPN.com senior college basketball writer Andy Katz ranked Kansas 26th in his initial preseason men's college basketball rankings.
Katz wrote that he had substantially lower expectations for the Jayhawks this year because of the team's lack of experience. Kansas lost four players to graduation, and J.R. Giddens left Kansas for New Mexico.
Though he expected Kansas to struggle at the beginning of the year, Katz wrote that the team would be much better in March.
Katz wrote that freshmen Julian Wright and Micah Downs would start as forwards, while freshman Mario Chalmers would start at guard
Katz wrote that reserves C.J. Giles, Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun, Christian Moody, Darnell Jackson and Jeff Hawkins would give the Jayhawks a solid core of returning players, but the freshmen would have to make an immediate impact for Kansas to succeed.

DENVER - Colorado Rockies outfielder Larry Bigbie was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a strained Achilles' tendon.
Injury keeps former Oriole on bench for two weeks
The move is retroactive to Sunday, when Bigbie was held out of the lineup in the Rockies' 9-7 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Outfielder Choo Freeman was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs to take Biggie's spot on the roster.
Bigbie has started 15 games for Colorado since being acquired from the Baltimore Orioles on July 29.
Freeman had two stints with the Rockies last season, hitting .189 in 45 games. He was hitting .280 in 97 games with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.

Woodland confident despite play in first round of amateur championship
BY JONATHON ANDERSON

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Players tend to choke when facing the adversities of a bigger stage, but KU golfer Gary Woodland, Topeka junior, proved himself with an opening round 70, or even par, at the 105th U.S. Amateur Championship yesterday at the Philadelphia Country Club.
The momentum of a stellar summer of golf carried Woodland into yesterday's round, where 312 golfers tried to advance to the tournament's match play competition. After two rounds of stroke play, the top 64 players from that competition will
Woodland teed off at 9:05 a.m. and finished his first stroke play round about 2 p.m. Woodland played the front nine with a one under par 34, including an eagle on the par four ninth hole.
advance.
Woodland went on to bogey holes seven and 17 to drop him to even par for the day. But even par placed him in the top 50 when the day ended.
"I didn't hit the ball well on the first nine," he said. "Not to mention I missed some putts that were definitely makeable, but I hit the ball better on the front. I had a bunch of pars to start, but that eagle was huge."
Woodland said he was still confident he would bounce back and perform better than he had, though he felt he could have finished better.
"I felt good enough that if I didn't play well, I could come around and find a way to stay in contention and wait for a good break to happen," Woodland said. "Finally, I had a good break on the last hole and I hope that carries over. If I'm not playing well, then I have to hold on to stay among the field."
Although he had Saturday and Sunday to experience the course, Woodland said his opening round conditions were a bit different than what he had experienced while playing over the weekend.
I played at 7 a.m. on Sunday and the greens were a lot slower," Woodland said. "Teeing off earlier allowed me to get used to slower greens, whereas today I came around the turn and had to adjust my game to fit the harder course conditions. Not to mention the wind blew a little bit harder today."
With one round under his belt and a strong understanding of how the course plays, Woodland looks to continue and advance in the tournament.
Woodland will tee off today at 2:20.

Buzz surrounds youthful receivers

Mangino: Season could be time of growing pains
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
The word buzzing around this year's wide receiver unit is potential.
Kansan file photo
The unit returns only one player who had an impact on last year's team, but has a number of players who could have big years for the lavwhaws.
Senior Mark Simmons is the only returning starter at the position. He collected 553 yards last season and grabbed three touchdowns.
Mark Simmons, senior wide receiver, looks downfield after catching a pass during a game last season. Simmons will lead this year's group of wide receivers, which is deep but also young.
Simmons leads a young and inexperienced group. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he knew there would be speed bumps along the way, but said he was excited about the players at the position.
"We have some young kids. We're going to go through some growing pains," Mangino said. "They might drop a couple balls here and there or miss a block but when it's all said and done I think that's going to be a really good group for us."
Besides Simmons, the other main target is expected to be junior college transfer Brian Murph. Murph impressed coaches and teammates during the spring game, with seven catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. He's also had an impressive preseason camp so far.
Beyond Simmons and Murph, Mangino said he was hoping that either sophomore Marcus Henry or freshman Marcus Herford, who took a redshirt last season, would emerge as a legitimate threat for the Jayhawks.
Herford is playing his first season at wide receiver after working as Kansas' scout team quarterback last year. Herford was recruited as a quarterback, but Mangino said he was pleased with his work and progress so far.
"He's working on his ball skills everyday," Mangino said. "He's a good, hardworking young man. We're hoping that he'll be ready to make a major contribution. He's certainly on that path."
Another player that could have a big impact on the wide receiver unit is Charles Gordon, junior cornerback. Gordon will spend most of his time at the cornerback position but did catch 15 passes last season for 150 yards as wide receiver, and will see some time at the position this season.
"If we don't have some of the young kids ready to play at the receiver position, it's hard to ignore Charles as a playmaker on offense," Mangino said.
Even if Gordon does see significant time at wide receiver, Simmons knows that it is his job to be a leader for the young players.
"Most of our players don't

Ex-Jayhawk home with clipped wing

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Former KU baseball player AJ Van Slyke arrived home in St. Louis to begin his first offseason as a professional baseball player about a month earlier than planned. And he didn't have a good reason.
"I was leading off the inning, and the count was 2-0, so I was pretty sure he was going to throw a strike," Van Slyke said. "I didn't think he wanted
The former left fielder for the Jayhawks and 23rd-round selection of the St. Louis Cardinals ended his rookie season early when he tore his labrum, a ring of fibrous tissue in the shoulder, in a bench-clearing brawl last month.
After trying to hit him with the first two pitches, Van Slyke figured he was done. He expected Martinez to groove a fastball with his third pitch.
The incident occurred on Sunday, July 24, while Van Slyke was playing for the New Jersey Cardinals. In the first inning, he belted a two-run homer against the Vermont Expos. When Van Slyke came to the plate in the third inning, Expos pitcher Carlos Martinez threw the first pitch high and tight to Van Slyke, just missing his face. When the second pitch just missed the back of Van Slyke's head, he said he became irritated.
"I knew he was trying to hit me," Van Slyke said. "I asked the umpire to do something about it, but he did nothing. Our coach came out and asked him to issue a warning, but he didn't. The umpire did absolutely nothing about it."
to walk me, so I was expecting one out over the plate."
Martinez, however, drilled his third pitch into the right bicep of Van Slyke, which, he said, caused him to snap. Van Slyke threw his bat down and charged the mound, inciting a bench-clearing brawl between the two teams.
As Van Slyke charged Martinez, Expos catcher John Poppert took off his mask and threw it at Van Slyke, hitting him in the back. That didn't stop Van Slyke, though, and he soon started pounding Martinez on the mound. When Poppert reached the mound and jumped on Van Slyke's back, the three fell to the ground, dislocating Van Slyke's shoulder.
"It was dislocated, but I didn't know it," Van Slyke said. "My adrenaline was pumping, and I knew it hurt, but I had no idea it was hurt that bad."
Unaware of his injury, and at the bottom of a huge pile, Van Slyke continued to punch. He was stepped on and kicked by many members of the Expos bullpen, who were first to arrive at the mound.
Van Slyke was pulled from the pile by an Expos coach. As he walked back to the dugout, he realized what had happened to his shoulder.
Van Slyke's father, Andy Van Slyke, who was elected to three all-star games and won five gold gloves during his 13-year professional career, said he was disappointed by his son's decision to charge the mound.
"I was disappointed because I don't think that was the right thing to do," the elder Van Slyke

Aggies look to forget last season's shortcomings

At the midpoint of last year's season, the Texas A&M Aggies were feeling pretty good. The team compiled a 6-1 record and
had Baylor on the schedule for its next game.
McNeal
A funny thing happened after that. The Aggies dropped a 35-34 overtime thriller to last place Baylor and then went on to take
three of their last four games, including a 38-7 loss to Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl.
Aggies coach Dennis Franchione said he knew how tough
ATM
the big 12 conference was, and also knew that no game was a guaranteed
victory. He tried to stress that fact to his team after the Baylor loss.
"You can't bask in a win too long and dwell on a loss too long," Franchione said. "If you feel sorry for yourself too long or feel too good about yourself too long, somebody is going to plant
a hickey on you pretty solid and a
huckey can't let that happen."
This season, the Aggies return 14 starters, and are a dark horse pick to win the Big 12 South division.
Fans in College Station, Texas are excited about senior quarterback Reggie McNeal. Last year, McNeal set a single-season school record with 2,791 passing yards and rushing yards by a quarterback with 718 yards. He also finished seventh nationally in total offense.
The scary thing for teams in
the Big 12 is Franchione said he felt McNeal was the most improved player on the team from last year's squad. Coaches voted McNeal the most improved after the spring game and offseason workouts.
"He is a better leader than I have ever seen him," Franchione said. "He has depth and understanding of the offense that is as good as it has ever been. It's the total quarterback in all areas that I think led our coaches to

At the time of the conference's inception, this was the case in the South division. Although, there were some good teams at that time. Texas and Texas A&M captured two of the Big 12's first three conference championships. But every year, it was Nebraska, Kansas State and later Colorado that garnered top billing in the media.
Nebraska was always in contention for the National Championship. Even once lowly Kansas State firmed with a national title in 1998, before committing a Missouri-esqe choke job in the Big 12 Championship against Texas A&M.
Since 2000, the balance of power has shifted and now it's the South that attracts the national attention, especially every October when Texas and Oklahoma clash in Dallas' Cotton Bowl.
The time is now, 'Hawks
The reasoning is simple. Currently, it's no secret that the North division is in a slump.
The North has seen a stretch of seasons where there was no clear favorite. That's where Kansas enters the picture.
Mark Mangino's tenure has brought significant improvement and a buzz that created a cult following. Students who once ignored football and counted down the days to Late Night, a fact that distrubs this Texan boy, are salivating as they count down to the football season opener in 11 days.
Fans have reason to believe that the program is close to turning the corner. Some even talk about a North division championship. The past couple years that kind of prediction was only a reality in your copy of EA Sports' NCAA Football.
Last year's 4-7 record quieted that thinking some, but the belief is still there. Yet, you get the feeling that this team is gathering a chip on its shoulder, because as usual, all the so-called experts have determined that Kansas football will remain in the conference cellar.
Mangino has to love it. He already said the team looked near perfect during training camp. This is almost unheard of coming from a coach who has always been conservative when evaluating his team. That alone should be reason to get excited. The status of the North is another. This year, it's still anyone's title for the taking. An argument could be made for every team.
Football season is fast approaching and around these parts, things are fixing to get interesting.
For many years, Kansas' football program has been outshined by its school's storied hoops tradition. It's a stigma that the 2005 Jayhawks, a team with some of the best senior leadership in school history, wants to change. This year, more than any other, could be the one that determines the future order of things in the Big 12 North.
For the Jayhawks, this has to be the year, because if not, it could be a struggle in the future. If successful, this team could establish Kansas football as a player in coming years.
Of course many of you will say that all of this is a nice dream and will ask the question "Why?"
For a change, though, every one should ask "Why not?" So

University, city buses may work together
KU on Wheels considers adopting similar bus system to those that exist in other college towns
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
An ongoing study conducted by the University of Kansas is examining how possibly coordinating KU on Wheels with the Lawrence bus system could improve campus transit.
A University task force, charged with improving transit, will give its report to Provost David Shulenburger and the parking commission at the end of the month. The task force is comprised of students, faculty, staff and city representatives.
Cliff Galante, Lawrence public transit administrator, said the city has discussed how KU on Wheels and the Lawrence bus system could work together to make bus systems better.
Galante said the possibility of the two systems merging now was a bit premature, but he said having the systems working together would make sense.
"I would like to see one transit system for the city," Galante said. "It makes sense to have a coordinated transportation system for a city of this size."
Now, KU students with a University bus pass can get a year-long "tee" Lawrence bus pass at a discounted, one-time fee of $25, Galante said. Residents and students without a University bus pass have to pay $17 per month.
To develop ideas on improving campus transit, the task force visited Midwest campuses to see how other schools worked with city buses.
Danny Kaiser, assistant dean of students who also led the committee, said Iowa State University's CyRide bus system, in Ames, Iowa, was a good match with how the University could merge with the Lawrence bus system.
CyRide coordinates all buses under the same system, Kaiser said. Some routes only serve campus, some city routes have stops on the edge of campus and some routes pass through the city and through campus.
Bob Bourne, CyRide director, said the system was started 24 years ago because the university thought the city bus system wasn't fulfilling the needs of students.
The system is governed by students, the university and city officials. Bourne said.
"Partnership is the key element," Bourne said "There is a level of trust between the three parties."
The CyRide system is free for students with an ISU student card.
Luke Thompson, Lawrence junior, sat on the University task force as a student representative. He was appointed by the student body president, and said this task force could start immense changes.
"I foresee the frequency of buses to apartment complexes, to downtown, to major shopping facilities, improving." Thompson said.
Thompson said he would like to see Daisy Hill students be able to go outside the city on buses that come to the residence halls.

Although the task force is only the first step to changing transit, Thompson said he believed it was possible to have fluidity between the city bus routes and KU on Wheels bus routes.
The findings will also have recommendations on redesigning KU on Wheels bus routes to better move students and KU employees across campus.
- Staff writer Gaby Souza contributed to this story. Edited by Kellis Robinett
"There's going to be more workers that need to get back and forth on campus," Kaiser said. "Often they try to drive, and that's just terrible."
Because the campus can't facilitate adequate parking for everyone, driving back and forth between West Campus and the main campus wasn't viable, Kaiser said.
Kaiser said with Park and Ride expanding and more employees working in West Campus, improving transit from there to main campus was a priority for the task force.

Jayhawk Express bus route canceled
BY GABY SOUZA
gouza@kansan.com
KANSA STAFF WRITER
KU on Wheels is no longer giving students a free ride.
The Jayhawk Express, the free campus bus route, was eliminated at the beginning of the fall semester.
The KU Public Safety Office also moved a bus stop on 15th Street.
The Jayhawk Express bus was canceled because of low ridership, said Jessica Mortinger, transportation director of KU on Wheels.
The Transportation Board members decided to quit running the Jayhawk Express after having meetings about each individual route, Mortinger said. The board found that the Jay-
hawk Express was not in high demand.
Matt Davis, Lawrence senior, agreed with the board's decision that the Jayhawk Express bus was unnecessary.
Davis said he thought students wouldn't use a bus that took them from class to class, even if they had to rush to make it.
"I think people can budget their time to make it," Davis said.
New bus stop
Officials at the KU Public Safety Office have also moved a bus stop on 15th Street farther east.
Buses on the McCollum, Park and Ride, and 15th and Crestline routes stopped in front of the fraternity Phi
Kappa Psi. Phi Kappa Psi,
1602 W. 15th St., is across
from Jayhawker Towers.
Now the bus pulls off to the side of 15th Street in front of Learned Hall.
The 15th Street bus stop was moved as a safety precaution, Chief of Police Ralph Oliver said.
Officers were concerned about pedestrians crossing the heavy traffic on 15th Street, Oliver said.
They also worried about buses holding up the flow of traffic because some buses dropped off passengers in the middle of the street.
"The stop was moved to prevent something from happening," Oliver said.
The Jayhawk Towers administrators have no problem
with the stop being moved, said Eric Grospitch, assistant director of the Department of Student Housing.
"It makes it safer for students crossing the street," Grospitch said.
KU on Wheels plans on making further changes to the campus bus system, Mortinger said.
A task force is investigating different bus systems that the university could adopt, said Peg Livingood, a landscape architect at Design and Construction Management. The task force is also comparing how cost-effective the different systems are. A deadline for choosing a system has not been set.

Jacob Mitchell, Newton fifth-year senior, said he would spend up to $500 on textbooks this semester for his four classes.
Chris Cakill, Olathe freshman, finishes buying books last week at the KU Bookstores in the Kansas Union. To promote sales KU Bookstores gave away eight packs of Coca-Cola.
"It's definitely hard enough as it is," he said. "Knowing I will only be able to sell back one of them is disappointing."
Students at the University of Kansas aren't the only ones stretching their budgets for books. Textbook prices have increased 186 percent since December 1986, according to a study released Aug. 16 by the Government Accountability Office. Comparatively, the overall rate of inflation was 72 percent.

Police car design gains recognition
g
BY STEPHEN LYNN slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Jayhawk is recognized throughout the nation, but now it has received acclaim for its location on the side of police cars.
The KU Public Safety Office was awarded third place in an annual contest for police car design in the July 2005 issue of Law and Order magazine, which is distributed monthly to state and federal law enforcement agencies.
More than a couple hundred agencies entered the contest, said Ed Sanow, editor of Law and Order.
Police Chief Ralph Oliver and Assistant Chief Chris Keary designed the car graphics when the office received new vehicles in October 2004. Oliver said.
They added the Jayhawk, which had never adorned the flanks of past vehicles, Keary said.
Outside Carruth-O'Leary, Joe Tate, Fairbanks, Alaska, sophomore, inspected the car's design.
"I would have made the Jay-hawk bigger," Tate said. "It's all right as far as cop cars go."
The office entered the contest several years ago, but the publication neglected to mention the office's previous entry, Keary said. The article lists several national and international agencies that entered.
"I don't know if our entrance was processed last time," Keary said, laughing. "This is the first time we were judged."
The contest aims to aid other departments in marking their cars professionally, Sanow said.
"If another university wants to change graphics, they can look to universities like yours," Sanow said.
Carrie Jones, Oklahoma City senior, examined the car.
The design process did not cost more than it has in previous years, Keary said. Luminous Neon Art & Sign Systems, 615 Vermont St., affixed the decals on the cars, he said.
"We should have gotten first," Jones said. "It makes me feel protected."

New group helps to ease the transition

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Tourist guides often describe Lawrence as a mid-sized city with a small-town feel.
Yet, to many students at the University of Kansas, small town doesn't equate to a town of 82,000 with a Wal-Mart, SuperTarget, nearly every major fast food chain restaurant and more than 20 bars.
Where senior Jennifer Meitl comes from, small town means something entirely different.
"We have a Quick Stop, a post office, a telephone company." Meitl said of Rush Center, her 176-person hometown in west-central Kansas. "That's really all there is to it. There's a little bar and grill on the corner. A sign stop. No stoplight."
Wendy Rohleder-Sook, assistant director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, estimated that more than 26 percent of instate students come from outside the state's most populated areas: Topeka, Wichita, Lawrence and the Kansas City area.
That equates to more than 1,500 students, each year, pouring in from small towns and rural areas. They come from unique places, such as Cawker City in north central Kansas, which is home to the world's largest ball of twine, and La Crosse in the west-central part of the state, which is the self-pro

He said he knew what it was like to come to the University and suddenly be submerged in a sea of unknown faces. He said he quickly
For these students, arriving to the University can be somewhat of a culture shock. That's why a group of students has formed Kansas Connections, an organization aimed at helping small-town students adjust to campus life.
learned to get involved with on-campus groups and enjoy the diversity of his new environment.
"I definitely hadn't had a lot of opportunities," he said. "That's the great thing about KU. You meet people from all over the state, all over the country, all over the world."
Kansas Connections was started in February when Ladd and a few other students with small-town Kansas roots met with Rohder-Look and Erin Michaels, assistant director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, to discuss the problems small-town students face when they first come to the University.
The group gained momentum and accumulated more than 40 members by the end of the spring. Ladd said.
Meitl, the group's campus awareness chairwoman, said she was working to make the group a major presence on campus by working with other organizations, such as the Alumni Association and Peer Educators.
Meilt's younger sister, Rhonda, a freshman, is now going down the same path of adjustment that her big sister went down three years ago. The younger Meilt said she was amazed by her first class in Budig Hall, where she sat among hundreds of students. Her high school class consisted of 26 people.
She was one of about 30 students who attended Kansas Connections' first meeting of the semester Aug.15. She's already involved with the club, as she's helped with its Web site and plans to attend an upcoming barbecue at Clinton Lake.
"It's been nice because I can recognize people and say 'hi,'" she said. "We can relate to a small-town background, the quirky things we do."
Brienne McDaniel, a freshman from Scott City, a western Kansas town of 3,545, is also trying to adjust to her second week of college life. Her challenges are the same every student faces, such as being away from parents, living with less guidance, and staying organized.
She also said she discovered that a campus of more than 25,000 people, in the middle of a mid-sized city, can be a lonely place when you've been surrounded by familiar faces your entire life. She said she was grateful for the friends she'd already made through Kansas Connections.
"It made a big place seem smaller to me," she said.

"Regrettably, there has been an increase in tendency by publishers and instructors to buy books with bundles that students find they don't need," Bill Muggy, Jayhawk Bookstore owner. said.
Publishers decide the rising prices, and Jayhawk Bookstore adjusts accordingly, Muggy said. He said the bookstore charged the customer an average of 22.5 percent more than what it paid to a particular publisher.
Muggy said customers who needed books showed a greater resistance to buy them. He said instructors seemed to be oblivious about the cost of textbooks and did not care about the end cost to the students.
"If the instructor orders a book, we expect them to use it," he said. "The hope is it will have a life afterwards."
Robert Goldstein, professor of geology, said he was conscientious of students' textbook prices. Two courses he teaches, one being a prerequisite of the other, require the same textbook. That way students taking both classes have to buy only one book.
Mitchell said that in his four previous years at KU, he used supplemental material in only one class. It was a CD-ROM that came with the textbook, and he said he did not find it that useful.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — Prosecutor will seek the death penalty when Joseph Edward Duncan III goes to trial on charges that he bound and killed three people in northern Idaho.
Prosecutors will seek death penalty for alleged murderer
Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Douglas made the announcement yesterday after Duncan's arraignment. Not-guilty pleas were entered on Duncan's behalf to charges of murder and kidnapping.
Douglas said he would seek the death penalty on all six charges against Duncan: three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree kidnapping.
First District Judge Fred Gibler set a trial date of Jan. 17, 2006.
Clad in red jail overalls, with scruffy hair and a beard, Duncan did not speak during the 30-minute hearing in the Kootenai County Iail courtroom.
When Gibler asked for a plea, Public Defender John Adams said, "We stand silent on that."
Duncan, 42, is accused of binding and killing three people in a scheme authorities say was designed to enable him to abduct two children for sex.

Recreation center sports new TVs
FITNESS
$6.3 million in improvements to be made
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
This summer, the closing of one student fitness center resulted in the upgrading of another. At the Student Recreation Fitness Center, students can now work out on treadmills, stationary bicycles and elliptical machines equipped with TVs
When the Burge Union Fitness Center closed last semester, Recreation Services traded in 21 pieces of old equipment in exchange for the advanced machines. Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services, said the goal of adding the televisions was to give students an individualized workout.
"We already had televisions in place, but it seemed that we could never have them on the right channels or the right stations," Chappell said.
Rachelle Saathoff, Lawrence sophomore, finds the new technology unnecessary and prefers not to watch TV while exercising.
"I'd rather just listen to music. For me it's too hard to concentrate on TV when you're working out," Saathoff said.
Other summer improvements included rescreening the basketball court and fixing the roof leaks that had plagued the recreation center for almost two years.
Plans are also under way to expand the recreation center in the spring. Expansion plans include adding four more basketball
courts north of the existing courts, and expanding the track to the size of all eight courts. Free weight and racquetball space will also increase. The University of Kansas is working with the Ken Ebert Design Group, the Manhattan-based architectural firm that designed the original recreation center. Chappell said they plan to begin construction in early spring.
Pat Tefft, Omaha, Neb., sophomore and student employee of the recreation center, said he approved of the upcoming changes. He frequents the recreation center to work out and play intramural basketball.
"It gets really busy around 4 o'clock in the evenings, so all the extra room is definitely needed." Tefft said.
The estimated cost for these additions is $6.3 million, which will not come from student fees. To fund improvements, the KU Athletics Department converted unused upper-level student seating into general public sales seating in Allen Fieldhouse, which will generate more money, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
The recreation center will expand its hours beginning Oct. 17 to accommodate more students. Its new hours will be Monday through Thursday from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m., and Friday from 6 a.m. until midnight. Saturday hours will be 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday hours will be 9 a.m. to midnight.

Wal-Mart employees slain in parking lot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Two Wal-Mart employees were shot to death yesterday as they gathered shopping carts in the parking lot of one of the retail stores in suburban Phoenix, and police later arrested the suspected gunman.
The shootings occurred in the middle of the parking lot, about 75 yards from the store entrance. At one point, a body could be seen in one of the corrals used for collecting shopping carts.
Hours later, police spokesman Mike Pena said a suspect had been arrested without incident in
a retirement community in nearby Peoria.
Investigators initially sent a robot to the man's door to make contact, fearing that he could still be armed. The man came out with his hands up, Pena said.
"We don't know how this happened or what led up to it," Pena
The suspect, described as being in his 50s or 60s, still needed to put through a lineup and questioned by detectives. His name was not released yesterday evening.
said. He would not say whether the man knew the victims, who were also men.
There was no immediate word on what might have motivated the attacks.
Delia Garcia, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman on the scene, said the two victims were collecting shopping carts when the gunfire broke out. She said the store would be closed at least until today.
"This is an extremely tragic situation," company spokeswoman Sharon Weber said from Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark
Authorities initially kept customers inside the store, but they were later allowed to leave.
Lisa Crider said the store was
filled with screaming people who were trying to get out. "It was just pure chaos," she told The Arizona Republic. Crider said she initially tried to stay inside the store but later fled.
Some of the store's 450 employees could be seen leaving the business yesterday evening. The company was working to get help for other employees upset by the shootings, Garcia said.
Police cordoned off much of the parking lot, telling anyone whose car was within a perimeter that they would have to leave their vehicles there.
Glendale is about eight miles northwest of downtown Phoenix.

Accomplice in shooting convicted of murder
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — An accomplice in a shooting spree that left five people dead — one of them a pregnant woman — has been convicted of three counts of capital murder, prosecutors announced yesterday.
Prosecutors said Errik Harris, 29, helped Darrell Lamont Stallings, 35, in the June 2002 rampage in Kansas City, Kan., that began as retaliation for a crime committed against Stallings' mother. Stallings avoided the death penalty in January and was sentenced to five consecutive life terms in prison.
District Judge Thomas L. Boeding found Harris guilty Friday after an agreement was reached with prosecutors. Harris also was found
guilty of attempted first-degree murder convicted of der and criminal possession of a Gorman said firearm
Because Harris didn't plead guilty but is agreed to what is called "stipulated facts," he retains the right to appeal.
The defense agreed to the arrangement because District Attorney Jerome Gorman said he wouldn't pursue the death penalty.
"We believe that he will have a sufficiently long enough sentence so that he will never step out of prison again."

murder before, Tuesday. "If Stallings didn't get it, it would be difficult for 12 different jurors to return with a death penalty verdict for Harris given what they knew" about Stallings' sentence.
Gorman said he would seek consecutive "hard 50" life terms for Harris, which he would have to serve 150 years in prison
100 years in prison before the chance of parole.
"We are happy with it," Gorman said. "We believe that he will have a sufficiently long enough sentence so
that he will never step out of prison again."
Stallings' killing spree began as retaliation for the attempted robbery and beating of his mother in April 2002. Two people were caught and convicted for those crimes, but Stallings thought Anthony and Trina Jennings played a role, too.
Trina Jennings, 26, who was seven months pregnant, was killed; her 29-year-old brother, Anthony, was wounded.
Prosecutors have said none of the victims was involved in the attack on Stallings' mother. Also killed were Samantha Sigler, 24; Destiny Wiles, 23; Tameika Jackson, 24; and Melvin Montague, 34, all of whom prosecutors said died because they were witnesses to Jennings' killing.

Westar duo face charges
COURTS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Federal prosecutors urged jurors to convict two former Westar Energy Inc. executives yesterday, saying that instead of protecting the interests of thousands of company shareholders, the duo had manipulated the system for themselves.
A defense attorney for former chief executive David Wittig disagreed, saying the government had manufactured the case to punish a rich, sometimes abrasive corporate executive. If Wittig was guilty, attorney Adam Hoffinger said, so were dozens of other executives at the utility who had received the same benefits.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Hathaway used a PowerPoint demonstration to run through three months of testimony and boxloads of documents, trying to show how Wittig and former chief strategy officer Douglas Lake had wring extravagant compensation from the company through a myriad of schemes, even when stock prices were falling.
From abusing a corporate relocation policy to having Westar put money in companies in which they had private investments to planning a windfall from a proposed merger of
and Westar's board of directors.
Westar with a New Mexico utility, Hathaway said the two men constantly looked for ways to manipulate what they saw as a weak system of internal controls
"Every program related to executive compensation was taken advantage of by Mr. Wittig and Mr. Lake," Hathaway said.
He said Wittig began laying the foundation for his crimes from the moment he joined the Topeka-based company

about some of their compensation and left out key information from reports filed with regulators.
in 1995. Hathaway said Wittig, brought in by then-CEO John Hayes to diversify the utility, began eyeing companies that he could acquire and later spin off.
Wittig later brought Lake, an acquaintance from Wall Street, into the conspiracy, first appointing him to help run a small-home security company he wanted to buy, and later as Westar's chief strategy officer, the prosecutor said.
Hoffinger, however, said Wittig got written approval from the

(regulators), systematic memorialization through e-mails and memos and board notes?" he said.
"What kind of systematic looting includes systematic approval by directors, systematic filing with
In particular, prosecutors have focused on the use of company airplanes for vacations and other personal trips. One prosecution witness, using the price of charter flights, estimated Wittig took trips worth almost $964,000 on Westar planes during his tenure but didn't declare any of it as income, as tax officials typically require. Lake
took trips worth $1.2 million,
prosecutors said.
Hoffinger said those numbers were arbitrary and based on flights that had some business purpose. He said the company had never developed an internal policy for how executives should account for personal use of the planes on their taxes, noting that 35 other Wester officials had used the planes outside of business.
"How are we charged with looting and they're not?" Hoffinger said.
Hathaway earlier noted that Wittig and Lake, as the company's top two executives, knew officials had wrestled with the airplane question since 1989 but resisted attempts to draw up rules or even audit the amount of flights.
"They had an obligation to tighten the ship," he said.
Hoffinger saved his angriest comments for what he perceived as Hathaway's attempt to make allegations without introducing evidence, such as testimony mentioning Wittig buying paper shredders and asking about document-retention guidelines even though neither man is charged with destroying documents.
"You were not going to get a case based on real evidence; you were going to get a case based on slander, based on innuendo," Hoffinger said.

The monument is the only remains of the ocean that once covered Kansas.
Barbara Shelton, one of the owners of the Keystone Gallery, across from the road leading to the monument, said the gallery had attracted more than 60,000 visitors in the 15 years it's been open.
Shelton said many people visited the monuments in hopes of finding the fossilized remains of ancient sea creatures.
"I tell them you can dig to China and still not find any fossils out there," she said.
Visitors to the gallery can look at the many fossils and minerals on display and get directions to the monument.
The monument is also part of the University of Kansas' Wheat State Whirlwind Tour which takes University personnel throughout the state to visit students' hometowns.
OAKLEY
Oakley isn't just home to a large statue of Buffalo Bill Cody; it is also home to Prairie Dog Town and the world's largest prairie dog.
How large is the world's largest prairie dog?
For $6.95 per adult, visitors can answer that question and see a variety of animals native to western Kansas.
Visitors start off at a gift shop where they can buy T-shirts and other memorabilia that captures the experience of seeing animals such as goats, buffalo and of course prairie dogs, in the couple of acres that make up Prairie Dog Town.
If it doesn't seem like its worth it to pay nearly $7 to see a giant replica prairie dog, checking out Prairie Dog Town's six-legged cow may make a difference.
GOODLAND
Heading west on I-70 brings travelers to Goodland. Goodland continues the theme of big attractions in the state with its giant 80-foot easel with a replica of one of Vincent Van Gogh's sunflower paintings. The easel is one of only three giant Van
Gogh replicas in the world.
Canadian artist Cameron Cross first got the idea of replicating the paintings in 1997. Cross said he brought the idea to the people of Altona, Canada, which is the sunflower capital in Canada.
With a couple of sketches and blueprints made, the former high school art teacher presented his idea to the city, which gladly accepted it.
Since then, Cross has made presentations in Altona's sister city, Emerald, Australia, and in Goodland where the easels were built.
Cross recently came back from Taiwan, China, where he pitched his ideas to a Dutch bank that also sponsors the Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
Cross said reception of his ideas was "generally positive and almost automatically gets a smile."
"People are just generally enthused," he said.
Souvenir shops and educational exhibits are planned for the Goodland easel.
MT. SUNFLOWER
Travelers planning on conquering great mountains like Kilimanjaro or Everest can add Mt. Sunflower to their list.
While Mt. Sunflower doesn't technically hold the title of mountain, it does hold the title of the highest point in Kansas at 4,039 feet above sea level.
Those willing to travel the near 30 miles south from Kanorado on K-267, will be treated to a sight that defines the prairie grasslands of Kansas.
The mountain, but technically hill, is owned by the Harold family.
The Harolds invite guests to walk or drive up into their land where visitors can see as far as the Kansas/Colorado border, which is half a mile away.
A mailbox, an American flag, the world's largest metal sunflower and a couple of signs mark where the highest point is located.

Students reflect: to beer or not to beer? Verdict leaves campus high and dry University decision shows clarityv
Students and alcohol at the Kansas Union does not equal underage drinking.
There is always a possibility that some younger KU students will have fake IDs, but the average student wouldn't go to the bowling alley in the basement of the Union and risk getting caught just to buy some 3.2 alcohol percentage beer.
Administrators at K-State allow beer sales in the K-State Student Union and students don't discuss the alcohol sales like they lead to underage drunk drivers and massive orgies. K-State students think of the union as a place to go and hang out, get a sandwich late at night, watch games on TV and play pool while drinking beer.
If I had a choice of going someplace else where I can drink beer and bowl or going to the Union where I can't even drink Mountain Dew, then I'd gladly pay a little extra and take a drive.
Allowing alcohol sales may not make the Union a hopping place on Saturday night, but what about Monday night when you just want to relax, bowl and drink a beer with you friends?
Marlesa Roney, vice provest for Student Success, said selling 3.2 beer at the Union would be too
much of a risk. A risk of what? Selling to minors? Drunk drivers? Students being hit late at night by college professors outside of the Union after an intense game of bowling? What would we be risking?
The Union is a dead place to hang out at night, and adding alcohol may not cause instant fun, but it would create a more casual atmosphere that didn't make students feel like they are living in the 1920s during prohibition.
The reasons for calling an end to alcohol sales at the Union in 1997 were even more senseless than the office of Student Success' reasons for not resurrecting it. According to a story published in the Kansan last week, the Union quit selling beer after an off-campus car accident involving two KU students. The University of Kansas had nothing to do with the accident.
Some irresponsible KU student drank and then drove go into an accident. Why don't we just ban cars on campus? That would have solved the problem.
The office of Student Success may want us to succeed, but God forbid we handle an adult theme such as drinking beer at a bowling alley. They want us to act responsibly. Why not give us the opportunity
to prove that we can? Allow beer at the bowling alley and then let's see how many, if any, incidents occur. At least if there were drunken orgies, more students would go to the Union and they could learn about safe sex.
Dan Hoyt writing for the editorial board.
The KU Administration made a wise, if not popular, decision to maintain the ban on alcohol sales in the Kansas Union.
While bowling with beer may be more popular than without it, the possible risks of reinstating alcohol sales and consumption on KU property are too high. In 1997, alcohol was banned from the Union because KU students were part of
?
a car accident involving alcohol, even though the alcohol was not sold by the Union. Since then, the University has maintained a strict dry campus policy. While this has not been popular with all students, it does protect the University from being blamed for any other alcohol-related accidents and shows the public its zero tolerance stand on irresponsible drinking.
Graphic by Max Kreutzer/KANSAN
The university has made it clear it that it does not condone irresponsible drinking. Selling alcohol in Jaybowl might send the message that the University has changed its opinion.
Selling beer in the Union might also lead to other questions of alcohol on campus because it would officially lift the title of "dry campus" off the University. Soon students might be questioning why they couldn't bring alcohol into student housing as long as they were 21.
It may be convenient to be able to buy a beer while bowling at Jaybowl, but the revenue generated would not be enough to risk the public relations nightmare of reinstating alcohol on campus and having an accident related to it. The Union is not a place where many students hang out on nights
and weekends anyway. It is doubtful that the number of students who decided to bowl at Jaybowl because of the beer would increase significantly enough to make a substantial sum of money to justify the sales.
Another possible risk is that underage drinking would occur, which would look terrible for the university. Students who work at Jaybowl might serve beer to their underage friends, or not be able to recognize fake ID's.
Should underage drinking or drunk driving occurs, the KU Police department would have increased responsibilities on campus that could be prevented, and the university could be viewed as liable for accidents, not the Student Senate, who backed the bill to get beer back to the Union.
The administration was smart to reject the proposal for beer in the Union. It keeps the University out of trouble and in a good light in the public eye. It also shows students who drink on campus that the university does not condone the misuse of alcohol and that the best prevention is not to drink.

TAKING A STAND
Rights violated despite declaration
Slavery.Discrimination. Bonded labor. These are all part of our reality, in spite of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
Most of the population at the University of Kansas does not even know that this document, signed by countries such as China, Iraq and the United States, even exists. But, though the rights protected by the declaration are violated every day, we have the power to affect how many and where these violations occur just by becoming aware of the contrast between the 'perfect world' painted in the UDHR and the real world.
Article 4 of the UDHR: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
Reality: According to Anti-Slavery International 20 million people are currently held in bonded labor, which basically means they will have to work long hours for scarce pay until the day they die. Many times, the debt will be passed on through generations. The "work," of course, lasts 12 or more hours a day with few, if any, days off, not even when sick.

With all the advances we have made, it is outrageous that these numbers and stories exist. Few people care to do anything about it. As citizens of the world, we should demand our government's respect for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Many of the violations can be fixed by simply acknowledging the problem and enforcing laws.
Every number above has a face and story deeper than anything I could tell in this limited amount of space, but though this declaration seems idealistic, our government and world will never improve unless we, the people, ask for the best.
Reality: A report by the Asian Monitor Resource Center and the Hong Kong Christian Industrial Committee, which was taken after interviewing sweatshop workers from a factory what made tennis shoes for Reebok and Nike, indicates that employees had to work 12 hours a day.

Greensburg is one example of the many small, out-of-the-way tourist destinations that sometimes get overlooked by road-tripping adventurers and especially by the state's residents. These attractions are as varied as they are spread out, but by trusting a map and following some signs travelers can see if Kansas is "as big as you think."
"When people travel and sign their names in a guest book, the people will see where they're from and they will say, 'oh, that's home of the Big Well,'" Stephenson said.
GREENSBURG
Richard Stephenson, manager of the Big Well, said the well wasn't just a part of the city; it was the city.

As visitors come into Greensburg.
Stephenson said that this summer, the well has drawn people from all over the world including, France, Germany, Australia and Saudi Arabia. Nearly 10,000 people visited the well in June and July, with more than 3,000 visitors daring to go down it. The well was dug in the 1880s to meet the water needs of the many steam-powered locomotives used in the area. Greensburg is also the home to the world's largest pallasite meteorite, which weighs in at 1,000 pounds.
signs like the one that read, "Greensburg Activities: The Big Well," start appearing down the main street directing tourists from all over the globe to the hole in the ground that measures 32 feet in diameter. For $2, visitors are welcome to take a trip down a seemingly rickety set of metal stairs to the bottom of the world's largest hand-dug well.
MONTEZUMA
About 65 miles farther west on US Highway 56, past Dodge City, is another small Kansas farming town, but it doesn't farm traditional Kansas crops.
The potential use of wind farms as a source of renewable energy is a hot topic in the state. Any plans for a wind farm will look to the farm already in place in Montezuma as an example.
According to Aquila, the Gray County Wind Farm's 170 turbines have a generating capacity of 110 megawatts of electricity,which is enough to power 33,000 homes.
While some might not be excited by the idea of visiting turbines, the sight of 170 massive, 217-foot towers with 77-foot, 5,300-pound blades is a sight unlike anything else in the state.
HOLCOMB
Directions to the River Valley Farm can't be found in the state's tourism manual, but it is relatively easy to find the Clutter home at the end of a tree-lined road in the town's southwest corner. The Mader family, who moved into the Clutter's old home, has placed "No trespassing" signs at the top of the long driveway to ward off visitors who want to catch a glimpse of the farm. While the signs keep people from getting close to the house, it can still be seen from the road. It is worth a visit for Capote fans and the curious.
Truman Capote fans may remember the sleepy little town of Holcomb from his book "In Cold Blood," which made headlines when Perry Smith and Richard Hickock murdered the Clutter family in 1959.
Smith and Hickock were among the last five prisoners executed by the state.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When Paula Caten decided to come to the United States, to pursue an education and a volleyball career, she left behind more than the average student-athlete could imagine.
While the senior had typical demands of practice, a social life and finals, Caten had an added emotional weight to deal with — a young child who lived on a continent away.
Caten became pregnant at 18, in the midst of her last year of high school in Canarana, Brazil. As one of the top players in her country, Caten had dreams of a professional volleyball career. Against the wishes of her coach, those dreams were put aside temporarily for the birth of her child.
Caten's parents advised her to have the child. Caten gave birth to a daughter, Paola, in May of 2001. It was the beginning of a difficult journey emotionally for Caten, but she knew her family was there for support.
"He thought I had a lot of potential, so he said I should have an abortion," Caten said. "That didn't even come to my mind. I was going to have the baby."
"At first I would cry a lot," Caten said. "I was so worried about her."
She returned to school, and to volleyball, to finish her high school career after a long layoff. Her skills on the court had not abandoned her, and she earned an opportunity to work toward her future in the United States. For Caten, the decision to leave her daughter behind was a difficult one.
Caten's daughter, now 4, lived with her father, and Caten often found it difficult to contact her. She became concerned and frustrated with the situation and eventually decided she had to do something about it.
"I decided that I could not give up the opportunity to come to America," she said. "It was my dream."
Caten said she had her daughter live in Brazil with her mother, Maria from then on. Caten said it was then that she really began to feel like a mother herself.
Gordon got game
Caten left home in 2002 for Barton County Community College in Great Bend. She would earn All-American honors while leading the Cougars to the 2003 NJCAA championship. She said she was happy with her situation, but being separated from the most important person in her life was a heavy burden to bear.
SEE VOLLEYBALL ON PAGE 6B
Caten transferred to Kansas after finishing her two years at Barton County. She was recruited by schools such as Penn State and Minnesota. Soon after arriving in Lawrence in 2004.
"I told him that I was taking her home," Caten said. "I said, 'You have no choice.'"

Versatile cornerback ready to lead
BY RVN COLAMNI尼

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Junior cornerback Charles Gordon's list of accolades seems endless: first team All-Big 12, third team All-America, Lott Trophy watch list, Thorpe Award watch list and pre-season All-Big 12 team. But there is one accolade that may not be listed on his biography.
Gordon was listed as an "impact player" in the new EA Sports NCAA Football 2006 video game.
During Gordon's downtime he likes to play Sony PlayStation, and he admits he's played the new college game.
"I think they got my receiver skills kind of low but my defensive skills are pretty nice," Gordon said when asked about how realistic the game portrayed him. "I'm not complaining, it's cool."
"He's a corner, but he'll tell a safety where to line up," Mangino said. "He'll make the adjustments. Charles is the leader back there."
While Gordon thinks that the game didn't get everything right, it appears he did everything right on the field last year. He won't be sneaking up on anyone this season; after leading the NCAA with seven interceptions last season, opposing quarterbacks are going to know exactly where Gordon is on the field.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said Gordon helped improve the secondary every day during practice.
This year, Gordon has been named to nearly every defensive-awards list, and many expect Gordon to be as spectacular as he was last season. Despite high expectations, Gordon said he wasn't pressured.
"There are a lot more expectations. But I am just going to approach the season the same way that I did last season: Just go out and have fun and play football," Gordon said.
As solid as Gordon was at cornerback last year, Mangino may try to use Gordon more on offense this coming season.
getting better. Are we going to use Charles a little more on offense?"
The answer is probably yes for the Jayhawks; Mangino said he hoped to use Gordon at wide receiver to improve an offense that struggled last season.
"I think we have a dilemma, a good dilemma," Mangino said. "We have some corners that are really developing and
"In practice, he helps you on one side and kills you on the other side every day." Mangino said.
Gordon set numerous records as a freshman wide receiver,
racking up the most receiving yards, 769, and recepcions, 57, of any Kansas freshman in the history of the university. He switched to full-time cornerback last season, and helped the defense become one of the best units in the conference.
The defense led the Big 12 in takeaways, with 27, but Mangino said he wanted the offense to capitalize more on those takeaways.
That may mean using Gordon
more as a wide receiver.
"If we need Charles on offense to get that spark, we'll do that," Mangino said. "We'll just count his reps and be careful with him. We won't wear him out, and won't put him in harm's way. We'll just have to pick and choose our battles."
Gordon said he thought the coaching staff did a good job

Backs averaged only 2.7 yards per carry last year
Senior running back Clark Green is the frontrouter to start at his position. Green wants to improve on last season and fill the hole left by former running back John Randle.
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Last season, the running game was virtually nonexistent, which led to one of the worst offenses in the Big 12 Conference.
The rushing attack averaged 2.7 yards per carry last season. This year's team must deal with the loss of running back John Randle, who was dismissed from the team just before spring practices began in March.
If the Kansas offense wants to be productive this season, it will have to be successful on the ground.
Senior running back Clark Green will try to improve on his 309 yards rushing last season. He ended his season last year on a solid note with a touchdown and 118 yards at Missouri. Green saw limited carries last season because Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Green was a little overweight. Green said he lost weight to prepare for this season.
"I came in a little underweight where I wanted to play," Green said. "I feel quicker and move quicker than I did last
vear."
Green had stellar freshman and sophomore seasons. He rushed for almost 1,000 yards during his sophomore campaign and ran for 813 yards as a freshman.
With those numbers, Green climbed up the all-time rushing list at Kansas. He ranks eighth all-time in rushing yards with 2,090 yards. If Green gains 1,000 yards rushing in 2005, he could move as far up as third all-time.
Mangino said he was worried about the running game in training camp, but recently was impressed with the way the position had shaped up.
Mangino had a word with Cornish, the New Westminster, British Columbia, native, after spring practices concerning his focus on football.
Junior Jon Cornish will challenge Green for the starting job this season after his impressive spring and training camp. Mangino said.
"The running game is one of the areas that is probably improving the fastest on offense." Mangino said.

Rush brings up red flag
School has started and the entire Kansas basketball team is on campus preparing for the season, right? Not quite.
In one of the wackiest recruiting sagas this basketball junkie has ever witnessed, Kansas coach Bill Self may be adding one more piece to his rebuilding puzzle.
That piece could be Brandon Rush, sibling to the Rush brothers, JaRon and Kareem. Brandon Rush isn't sure if he wants to attend school. So it isn't a surprise that the first week of classes has come and gone and Brandon Rush is home in Kansas City, Mo., plotting out his future.
Brandon Rush, now 20, is waiting for the NCAA Clearing-house to review his transcripts and declare him eligible to play college basketball this season.
It is clear he did not want to go to college, however. He declared for the NBA draft in the spring, only to pull his name when he realized he would not be drafted in the first round.
He has since decided to let the recruiting battle for his services drag on into the school year. Now, in an ironic twist, it appears he's destined to spend a year or two playing ball down the road from his hometown.
The youngest Rush made it clear that, like his older brothers, he would not wear out his welcome at the collegiate level. If he has a solid freshman year, he will undoubtedly bolt for the land of easy money and easy ladies.
I have to admit, I've never met or talked to Brandon Rush. I've never seen him play in person. But being from the Kansas City area, I know of him, and I know of his family. It makes me mey to know he may don the crimson and blue this year.
JaRon and Kareem Rush played high school basketball at Pembroke Hill, a private school in Kansas City, Mo. After winning three state titles for the school, an NCAA investigation showed that the brothers did not pay for their education at Pembroke. Myron Piggie, their AAU coach, paid their way and regularly gave them cash.
Brandon Rush did his share of bouncing around schools, which was a red flag in itself. No one changes schools like they change underwear, unless attitude or academic problems arise. After going through three Kansas City high schools, he ended up at NBA-breeding Mt. Zion Academy prep school in North Carolina, alma mater of Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady.
So, basically Brandon Rush would be a pre-NBA major at Kansas. That could spell trouble.
JaRon Rush was once himself a prospective Jayhawk. This was before former Kansas coach Roy Williams noticed JaRon Rush dogging his substitution patterns. JaRon Rush ended up attending UCLA in 1998. When Williams stopped recruiting JaRon, it didn't make the Rush family too happy with Kansas.
JaRon Rush missed time on the court because of NCAA violations. After two years at

Junior golfer misses final cut for match play in tournament
Kansas junior golfer Gary Woodland won't be playing in the match-play portion of the 2005 U.S. Amateur Championship.
A second round of 80, or 10 over par, dropped him to 114th place overall. Only the top 66 players qualified for match play.
The final cut for match play was set at 146, or six over par. Woodland shot an even-par 70 during his first round, and ended with a two-round total of 150.
In yesterday's round, Woodland managed to make nine pars but failed to record a single birdie. He also had eight bogeys and one double bogey, which secured Woodland's early exit from the tournament.

Former Cornhusker running back in trouble with law again
LOS ANGELES - Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips was charged Tuesday with multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two days after prosecutors said he drove into three teenagers who argued with him following a pickup football game.
Phillips was scheduled to be arraigned yesterday afternoon, the district attorney's office said. He was charged with seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of child abuse and one count of hit and run.
If convicted, Phillips faces up to 13 years and four months in prison.
Phillips, a star at Nebraska before the St. Louis Rams made him the sixth overall pick in the 1996 NFL draft, got into an argument with several young men after the pickup football game Sunday in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, police officer Sandra Escalante said.
He left the park, but returned and drove a black Honda onto the field, allegedly running into a group of young males.Three were hit, including two aged 14 and 15,the district attorney's office said.
The teenagers were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said. The car Phillips was driving had been reported stolen in San Diego earlier in the week. Escalante said.
The district attorney's office said a bench warrant was issued for Phillips in 2003 after he allegedly failed to appear for a probation hearing at the Airport Court. He had pleaded no contest to one count of making a criminal threat in 2000 after he allegedly attacked a girlfriend in Beverly Hills.
Police in San Diego had been seeking Phillips since earlier this month for allegedly attacking his girlfriend twice, once choking her into unconsciousness.
Phillips, 30, was arrested Sunday and held on the domestic violence felony warrant and held without bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Web site.
San Diego police had offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to Phillips' whereabouts, and said he had indicated he wouldn't surrender peacefully.
The first domestic assault, in which police say Phillips' 28-year-old girlfriend was choked, allegedly occurred Aug. 2 at her San Diego home. Police said the second assault allegedly took place 11 days later when Phillips confronted the woman at a party.

If one starter struggles Friday, Francis said he may opt for the other one in Sunday's contest against the Wisconsin Badgers.
Francis discussed the team's plans, goals and expectations for the season.

He said the team was fortunate to win its first exhibition game last Saturday against Drake, 2-1.
Francis thought the team was out of shape defensively, and said it would be tested by the Michigan Wolverines on Aug. 26.
He also said that the Jayhawks planned to assess their team performance on Friday to answer some questions.

Missouri player died from viral meningitis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — A University of Missouri football player who collapsed after a preseason workout last month died of viral meningitis, the Boone County medical examiner said yesterday.
Swelling in the brain subsequently affected his heart and caused Aaron O'Neal, 19, to lose his ability to properly breathe, Medical Examiner Valerie Rao said. Toxicology tests ruled out steroids, performance supplements, alcohol and other drugs as contributing factors.
"The manner of death is natural," Rao told a roomful of reporters, photographers and television camera operators crammed into her small office for a press conference.
But while the cause of death was not directly related to an on-field injury or a training regimen, the autopsy results still don't resolve questions about O'Neal's care, said St. Louis attorney Bob Blitz, who is representing Aaron O'Neal's father in a lawsuit tuesday in Boone County Circuit Court.
The suit names 12 university athletics officials, including the head trainer, head strength and conditioning coach and Athletic Director Mike Alden.
"When you have viral meningitis, these symptoms start showing before," he said. "Nobody really dies from viral meningitis unless you have symptoms."
O'Neal, 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, started to struggle during conditioning drills about 45 minutes into the July 12 session, during which players wore shorts, T-shirts and football cleats but no helmets or pads. As required by NCAA rules, head Coach Gary Pinkel and his assistants did not attend the sessions, which are billed as voluntary.
Before he was taken to the hospital, O'Neal was driven to the football team offices — a delay that Blitz

said proved fatal. Both University Hospital and the Tom Taylor building are across the street from Faurot Field, but on opposite sides. O'Neal was in full cardiac arrest by the time a campus police officer and paramedics arrived at the Taylor building.
"Had they taken him to the hospital (immediately) or even given him oxygen on the field, he'd be alive today," Blitz told The Associated Press. Viral meningitis "has nothing to do with the negligence of not getting him to the hospital."
Rao's autopsy report — the results of interviews with each of the 11 other players, eight conditioning coaches and three trainers present at the July 12 work out — also raises questions about the moments leading up to O'Neal's death.
O'Neal repeatedly lost his balance during a stretching exercise and told a player and a conditioning coach, both unnamed by Rao, that "he could not see and his vision was blurred."
ground after the final drill, a trainer who examined him concluded that "there was nothing that could be done." Rao wrote.
In the team locker room after the workout, O'Neal's tongue had turned white and he was "gasping and moaning," according to Rao's re-
An athletics staff member, identified in the lawsuit as Josh Stoner, associated director of strength and conditioning, then flagged down a university groundskeeper and, with the help of another football player, loaded an unconscious O'Neal into a pickup truck, which took O'Neal to the Taylor building.
In the football training room, attempts to revive O'Neal with an automatic defibrillator before paramedics arrived were unsuccessful.He was pronounced dead at University Hospital at 4:05 p.m., or just over 90 minutes after the workout ended.
Rao completed an autopsy the day after O'Neal's death, ruling out infection, trauma
and foul play as causes of death. She also ordered an extensive series of pathological and toxicology tests that took four to six weeks to complete.
The lawsuit does not name the University of Missouri-Columbia as a defendant because of the legal principle of sovereign immunity, Blitz said.
An athletics spokesman referred questions about the lawsuit to university lawyers, who did not immediately return calls yesterday afternoon.
Rao said she was not able to determine how long O'Neal had suffered from lymphocytic meningitis before he died. Nor has she been able to determine the specific type of virus that killed O'Neal. Additional tests to determine the culprit are under way at the national Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, she said.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the tissues and infection of the fluid covering the brain and spinal cord, and can be transmitted by viruses or bacteria.

Editor's Note: This is the fifth of 11 articles previewing Kansas' competition in the Big 12 Conference. The articles will run every day from now until Sept. 1. Tomorrow the Kansan will look at Texas.
Adrian Peterson, then Oklahoma freshman running back, attempts to break free from Ronnie Amadi, then junior cornerback, in Norman, Okla., last October. The Jayhawks will battle Oklahoma this season Oct. 15 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
This year the Sooners were picked second, behind the Texas Longhorns.
For the first time since 2000, perennial favorite Oklahoma wasn't picked to win the Big 12 conference in the media's annual preseason poll.
Kansan file photo
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops isn't a fan of preseason polls and said he didn't think they meant a lot once the season started. Stoops also remembers that in 2000, when Oklahoma was picked second, the Sooners went on to win a national championship and haven't won one since.
"It doesn't really matter to me whether we are picked favorites or not," Stoops said. "I say it a lot, or every year, as long as they are going to let us play, it doesn't much matter. I feel great that we have an opportunity to be in there with anybody."
If Oklahoma contends for a national championship this season, it will need another standout season from sophomore running back Adrian Peterson.
Peterson finished second, the best finish ever by a freshman, in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He ran for 1,925 yards last season and had 15 touchdowns en route to becoming the first freshman in
Oklahoma history to be named All-American.
There is more pressure on Peterson this year, because starting quarterback Jason White was lost to graduation. Stoops said to be successful this year, Oklahoma will need a balanced offensive attack, as in years past.
"We are not going to sit there and run him 40 times a game," Stoops said. "We are going to do our best to have the kind of balance we have had."
Stoops hasn't decided who will
Stoops said he would like to involve Peterson more in the passing game because he only caught five passes last year for 12 yards.
be throwing the passes to Peterson, as he has yet to announce the starting quarterback.
Junior Paul Thompson, sophomore Tommy Grady and freshman Rhett Bomar are battling to win the starting job.
Stoops said he was pleased with all three candidates so far and liked the athletic ability that all three possess.
With an inexperienced quarterback, it will be important for other offensive players to assume a leadership role this year.
Travis Wilson, senior wide receiver, will be one of the players expected to lead the offense. Wilson had a breakout year last season and caught
50 passes for 660 yards and 11 touchdowns. Wilson said he would be a leader, but whoever emerges as the starting quarterback would know what he had to do.
"They know what needs to be done," Wilson said. "They will be able to handle it their own way. I throw in my two cents now and then and try to help our team out."
On defense, the Sooners will be led by Dusty Dvoracek, senior defensive tackle. Dvoracek started the first two games last season then was dismissed from
the team for the remainder of the season.
As a junior, Dvoracek was a consensus All-Big 12 first team selection and collected 16 tackles for a loss and had seven sacks.
Dvoracek will try to rejuvenate a unit that allowed 55 points in the national championship game last year. Dvoracek will be joined on defense by preseason Big 12 selections, Rufus Alexander, junior linebacker, and Larry Birdine, junior defensive lineman.
Stoops said he was confident
that the defense will not experience a hangover from the national championship game last year.
"We are not sitting around talking about that," Stoops said. "You know, each year is different. We have a different team."
Oklahoma will start its hunt for a national championship Sept. 3 with a home game against Texas Christian. The Sooners will battle the Longhorns in the Red River Shootout on Oct. 8. Oklahoma will close its season with a road game at Texas Tech.

Kansas City Chiefs release veteran linebacker Maslowski
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VAN DENVER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Mike Maslowski, whose hard work took him from an obscure Division III team to a starting job as Kansas City's middle linebacker, was released yesterday because of continuing injury problems.
The Chiefs said they hoped the 6-foot-2, 243-pound Wisconsin native would one day resume his career.

Maslowski underwent an unusual operation last Sept. 29 to correct the alignment of his left
"We don't think this represents the conclusion to Mike's NFL career," said Chiefs president Carl Peterson.
"By releasing him at this time, we give him the opportunity to return to the Chiefs
in the future if he can get himself ready to play."
knee.
He missed all of last season as well as the latter part of 2003.
While he rehabbed, the Chiefs upgraded their linebacking corps considerably.
Kawika Mitchell, a second-year middle linebacker, has looked good in training camp and seems to have solidified
his hold on the job.
Maslowski played at tiny Wisconsin-La Crosse and was a division III All-American in 1996.
He joined the Chiefs as a free agent in 1999 and had 311 tackles in his career, including a franchise-record 162 during 2002.
"Mike Maslowski has been an extremely important player for this franchise since '99."
"By releasing him at this time, we give him the opportunity to return to the Chiefs in the future if he can get himself ready to play."
Peterson said. "He has grown with the Chiefs from his days as an NCAA Division III player, through NFL Europe, to

starting linebacker and the most prolific tackler in a single se as on for this team.
"I don't think it's a coincidence that our defense began to decline
when we lost Mike to injury in 2003."
With amazing endurance, Maslowski played in 50 pro-
cessional football games in 1999,seeing action in 11 with the Barcelona Dragons in Europe and then 19 preseason and regular-season games with the Chiefs.
He was a landslide winner of the Mack Lee Hill Award in 1999, given annually to the team's top first-year player.
The Chiefs had kept him on the physically unable to perform list hoping he would recover enough to come back.
"It's just a situation where he's run out of time on PUP active status," Peterson said. "He had some more surgery done on that knee. They took out a plate and screws. I saw it and it was pretty substantial. I don't know how he moved
around with that."
Maslowski has been active in the Kansas City community.
"Since he joined us in 1999, he's been an exemplary player on and off the field," Peterson said.
Kansas City also reached a one-year contract deal yesterday with free agent quarterback Jonathan Quinn, though no terms were released.
Quinn played in five games for the Chicago Bears last season and in a dozen NFL games during previous posts in Jacksonville and Kansas City.
During two seasons with the Chiefs, in 2002 and 2003, he was listed as the third quarterback.

Caten emerged as a solid contributor while starting at outside hitter.
The volleyball team's trip to Brazil this summer was a welcome opportunity for Caten to see her daughter. It had been six months between visits.
"I felt kind of bad because I wasn't with my teammates very much, but I think they probably understood," Caten said.
Caten spent enough time with the team for her daughter

Brown said she gained a new level of respect for Caten after seeing her with her child.
"Leaving to come here to try to provide a better life for her daughter is just amazing," Brown said. "There is no way I could do that. I just respect her so much."
Coach Ray Bechard said he had never had a player that was more focused on her academic goals than Caten, a business major. He said she knew the importance of getting a degree to support her daughter.
"She has her head on straight," Bechard said. "She is more determined than anyone we've ever seen here academically."
When she graduates next May, Caten said she will plan to live with her daughter. She said she did not know where her professional path would take her, but it would be in the best interest for her child.
"I could spend more time with her when volleyball is done," Caten said. "I want her to learn English. That is very important."

Mangino said moving Gordon back to wide receiver would not be a problem. He added that although Gordon didn't attend any offensive position meetings during training camp, he still knew what to do.

Gordon's repetitions were sparse at wide receiver last season; he accumulated 15 tackles and two touchdowns.
"When he is on the field, you know he is going to work hard for you," said senior quarterback Brian Luke. "I think that everyone we have is going to work hard but Charles is the guy that you can count on."
Gordon may see more time on offense because he may be

"Where do we reduce reps and where to we add reps to help our team?" Mangino said. "That's the question the staff and I are trying to answer."
As for the possibility of making the jump to the NFL after this season, Gordon said he isn't thinking about the NFL right now.

"I wasn't sure how focused he had been," Mangino said. "He realized that it was time for him to make a contribution. He told me, 'You guys take American football pretty seriously.' I was glad he caught on."
Mangino said Cornish looked quicker and more explosive on the field.
Cornish mainly contributed on special teams during his previous two seasons. He had two carries for five yards last season. Cornish was impressive during the team's spring
While Clark, Cornish and Gary will be shouldering the majority of the load at running back, sophomore Brandon McAnderson will replace graduated Austine Nwabuisi at fullback.
"Gary Green is doing a good job," Mangino said. "He put on some weight and increased his foot speed."
McAnderson is transitioning to fullback from his days as a running back at Lawrence High School.
He is one of the best conditioned guys we have. He is having a big camp to date. He could be a factor for us."

UCLA, he decided he was destined to play in the NBA. NBA general managers felt otherwise, and he went undrafted.
Now JaRon Rush is out of basketball. He had bouts of alcoholism and attitude problems.
Kareem Rush had better luck. He attended Missouri, but left for the NBA after his junior year in the 2001-2002 season.
Kareem Rush had to sit out games at Missouri because he accepted cash in high school, like his older brother. The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Kareem Rush in 2002, and he now plays for the Charlotte Bobcats.
There is no doubt the Rush brothers have great genes. Brandon Rush can ball.
Is it fair to rub Brandon Rush in his brothers' dirty laundry? Maybe not. But there are plenty of red flags when considering a Rush to play at Kansas.
He could help the rebuilding Jayhawks on the court this season. He might even lead them in scoring.
Moore is a Shawnee junior in journalism.
NASCAR
Cities push for Hall of Fame
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND, Va. — The group trying to lure the NASCAR Hall of Fame to the city highlighted Richmond's roots in racing and diverse tourist attractions yesterday when a delegation of NASCAR officials wrapped up their tour of possible locations.
"Each city has unique qualities," George Pyne, NASCAR's chief operating officer, said. "What stuck in my head was within 300 miles there are 55 million Americans, and so when you walk away from Richmond, that's what you walk away thinking about."
Richmond, which has hosted NASCAR races for more than a half-century, was the last stop in a five-city tour that also brought the officials who will participate in the decision to Atlanta, Charlotte, N.C., Daytona Beach, Fla., and Kansas City, Kan.
During their presentation, Virginians Racing for the Hall of Fame also highlighted Richmond's proximity to tourist destinations that include Colonial Williamsburg, Civil War sites, King's Dominion and Busch Gardens amusement parks, the nation's capital and the oceanfront.
But the state's traditions in racing also were front and center as the group made certain Pyne and the 10 other NASCAR representatives were aware that there are 37 race tracks in Virginia two Nextel Cup Series races a year at both Richmond International Raceway and Martinsville Speedway and two more just across the border in Bristol, Tenn.
"Virginia is not only for lovers. Virginia is particularly for lovers of racing, particularly NASCAR," an energized Gov. Mark R. Warner said at a news conference.
The Virginia group treated the visitors to a red-carpet greeting by the Virginia Air National Guard, a detailed presentation of the plan and lunch with Warner at the Executive Mansion, and a public rally just outside attended by about 350 supporters.
They also were taken on a helicopter tour of possible locations for the hall, including a spot at the intersection of Interstates 95 and 295, following the rally.
developed as more than just a hall of fame, with a hotel, retail shops and other attractions.
"At the end of the day, you've got to feel wanted and we certainly felt that today in Virginia from the governor on down," Pyne said, adding that he was particularly impressed by how engaged Warner was in making the case for Virginia to get the hall.
The site on I-95, the primary highway connecting the East Coast from Maine to Florida, is a 250-acre tract of farmland that the group said could be
The next step, Pyne said, was for the NASCAR officials to absorb all the sales pitches it heard over the last 10 days and decide how to move forward.
"There's a lot of moving parts here," he said. "We're in no hurry to make a decision. The only thing we're in a hurry to do is make the right decision."
Warner said there had been a sense that Richmond was a late arrival to the bidding for the hall, but he was encouraged by what he saw and sensed during the meetings.
"I feel better after the lunch than before the lunch," he said.
Warner also said that some details about how the hall will be set up, who will own it and how much of it will be financed by the state are still to be determined.

AbleHawks want voice
Disability group campaigns for Senate representation
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Zach Coble, Winfield junior, is tired of stereotypes associat with disabled persons.
"A big misconception is they are somehow less able to do things or should be pitied," said Coble, who has cerebral palsy. "The disability is just another part of our lives, not something
that inhibits our ability to get things done."
AbleHawks began its campaign at its meeting Tuesday night to get an appointed seat on Student Senate. AbleHawks is an advocate group formed to raise awareness of disability issues at the University of Kansas.
Coble, AbleHawks member, said a Senate seat would ensure fair representation for the campus's disabled community,

Brittani Perry, Houston junior, and Marina Burton, Topeka senior, prepare to meet prospective recruits at the Multicultural Pan-Hellenic Event in the Kansas Union Tuesday evening. Both are members of the sorority Delta Sigma Theta, which has an active reputation on campus for doing programs such as a Sister to Sister Bonding event, AIDS Dinner, and the Delta Challenge. The sorority has existed at the University since 1925.
For some greek houses, recruitment a '24-hour, seven-day-a-week job'
NPHC groups continue to seek members

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Recruitment activities for most sororities and fraternities at the University of Kansas ended last week.
For greek houses in the National Pan-Hellenic Council, it is only beginning.
Unlike the other greek organizations, there is no formal recruitment week for NPHC. This week is their opportunity to gain the attention of potential new members. More than 40 people interested in NPHC visited with members of the seven fraternities and sororites Tuesday evening at the Kansas Union.
"NPHC is one of the underrecognized councils on the campus compared to the In-
terfraternity Council and Pan-Hellenic," said Will Clayton, Kansas City, Mo., senior and vice president of NPHC. "So we really want to raise awareness about NPHC and that NPHC really does exist and there are other fraternities and sororites on campus that do things for the campus as well."
Through word of mouth, informational meetings and conversations with prospective members the fraternities and sororites of NPHC try to spread its message.
NPHC at the University consists of five active, historically black sororities and fraternities and a Latino fraternity and Latina sorority. This week allows
the fraternities and sororities to better understand who is interested in joining the NPHC community.
"For the most part recruitment for us is a 24 hour, seven day a week job." Melinda Benavidez,

Silenced whistle to sound again
It will be turned on for students as early as next week
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANAN STAFF WRITER
The steam whistle which previously announced the end of class at 20 and 50 minutes after the hour has been temporarily turned off because of roof repairs at the KU Power Plant, where the whistle is located.
Throughout the first weeks of classes, students at the University of Kansas have not been saved by the whistle.
Mike Burke, senior supervisor of the power plant, said the whistle was a safety concern for the workers on the roof.
The volume of the whistle's blast could cause hearing damage to the workers.
Also, if they were standing close to the edge of the roof when the whistle went off, the sound could startle them and cause them to fall off the roof, Burke said.
Once repairs are completed, the whistle will be turned back on, said Jim Long, vice provost of facilities planning and management.
Joe Orosco, head of access services reserve department at Watson Library, said that because the library neighbors the power plant to the east, in the past he could hear the whistle clearly.
But, he hadn't noticed that the whistle hadn't blown this

Sami Al-Otaibi, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, sophomore, said he didn't notice the whistle's absence either. But he added if the whistle was not used again, he would miss it.
The power plant's roof repairs could end next week, depending on the weather, said Roger Harmon, construction manager of Design and Construction Management.
The repairs started June 1. Right now, the workers are hot-tarring the roof, one of the last steps in the process.
The power plant building is more than 100 years old and the roof was in desperate need of repair, Burke said.
"It needed to be done and we're finally getting it done," Burke said.

Brittany Ramos never got to participate in student government in high school. After being vice president of the safety patrol at her elementary school in Dallas and vice-president of her middle school student body, sports became the focus of her extracurricular activities in high school.
But now Ramos, Overland Park freshman, is getting an opportunity
to join student politics. She is running in the upcoming freshmen elections for Student Senate.
APPLICATION INFO
"I really like being in charge of things and making big decisions," Ramos said. "I regretted not being able to participate in high school."
Freshmen elections will be held Sept. 6 and 7. Only freshmen can vote in the elections.
Each fall, freshmen run for one of five spots available on Senate. Tomorrow is the deadline for freshmen to turn in applications.
Freshmen Student Senate applications are due tomorrow by 5 p.m. They can be picked up and returned to the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union, room 410.
Included with the applications:
♦ A $20 filing fee or 50 freshmen signatures
♦ A Dean's stamp to verify enrollment

Last fall, 24 students ran for freshmen spots, according to an article published in the University Daily Kansan.
Luke Thompson, Spring 2005 elections commission chairman, who also worked with freshmen elections this year, said he expected around 20 students
to run, but he wouldn't be surprised if more applied.
Thompson said the number of students running in freshmen elections has increased each year since the elections began.

Students upset by ordinance
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSMAN STAFF WRITER
Megan Hollenbeck, Prairie Village senior, and her three roommates were shocked to learn of a complaint made against them by a neighbor.
Around March she and her roommates, who live in a house on the 1700 block of Indiana Street, went to their landlord to discuss renewing their lease. Their landlord told them someone had complained too many people were living in their house, Hollenbeck said.
Hollenbeck said the landlord explained that although they were good tenants, they would be taken to court if one of them did not move out.
Because more than three non-related people were living in the same house in a single-family district, the four women were violating the occupancy ordinance 7323.
Www.lawrenceplanning.org defines a family as a person living alone; two or more people related by blood, marriage or legal adoption living together; or a group of three or fewer people not related by blood or marriage living together.
The Web site also contains a color-coded map showing where single family districts are located.
"We never even had one party," Hollenbeck said. "We were really quiet, kept the house clean and paid on time. The neighbors all seemed to like us. I'm still pretty upset about it."
The number of residents allowed in a house isn't the only ordinance that affects students; they should also be aware of noise and parking ordinances.
If a house makes excessive noise constituting disturbance of peace, the residents are in violation of noise ordinance 14-413. According to law.lawrencepolice.org, each year the Lawrence Police Department responds to more than 2,500 noise-related phone calls. First time offenders may receive only a warning. Additional calls result in a citation.
"The neighbors all seemed to like us. I'm still pretty upset about it."
Megan Hollenbeck Prairie Village senior
One citation results in a fine, Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said. If the residents receive two or more citations, they could be evicted.
Ward said for a resident's first violation of a noise ordinance, it is the officer's decision whether the resident receives a warning or a citation. Officers are more likely to give a citation when the situation is out of control and the resident is uncooperative, he said.
Although penalties for parking ordinance violations are not as serious, violators do receive fines from the city. People are not allowed to park cars in front or side yards or stay in the same spot on the street for more than 48 hours.
According to www.lawrencepolice.org, it is illegal to park within 30 feet of a traffic control device, within 20 feet of a crosswalk, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or more than one foot from a curb. It is also illegal to block a private drive.

Timberlake takes apology for cheating accusations
PEOPLE
LONDON — Justin Timberlake has accepted an apology and damages from a tabloid newspaper that falsely accused him of cheating on girlfriend Cameron Diaz with a British model.
Timberlake had filed a libel lawsuit at London's High Court over a July 2004 claim in the News of the World that he had a fling with model Lucy Clarkson.
Clarkson's lawyer, David Griffiths, said the model acknowledged that the story was "an entire fabrication on her part."
NEWS
Benjamin Beabey, lawyer for the tabloid's publisher, News Group Newspapers Ltd., said yesterday that the News of the World apologized "for the distress and embarrassment caused by this article. It entirely accepts that the allegations are without foundation."
"Yet again, a tabloid has been caught lying," said Timlakeberg's publicist, Ken
Sunshine, in a statement. "Thankfully the judicial process worked, but how many cases like this will it take before these tabloids feel obligated to print the truth?"
Timberlake's lawyer, Simon Smith, said the allegations had caused damage to the singer's "personal and professional reputations."
He said the publisher had agreed to pay "a substantial undisclosed sum as damages." Clarkson had agreed to pay "a sum equal to that which she agreed to receive from the News of the World" for her story.
The defendants also had agreed to pay Timberlake's legal costs, Smith said.
"In the light of these developments, Mr.Timberlake has decided not to pursue these proceedings and considers that his reputation has been fully vindicated," Smith said.
Sunshine added that Timberlake planned to donate the damages money to charity.

Volunteers share dream, garden

GARDENING
Thousands of people may have walked through the field of weeds, seeing the dilapidated playground equipment and rusting tricycles.
It took five years of decay before a student walked by and saw something different.
That day, Aaron Olsen, Overland Park sophomore, looked across the sloping lot between the Wesley Building and Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall, east of the Kansas Union, and envisioned a garden on the land the Hilltop Child Development Center left five years ago. Tomatoes, green beans, carrots, parsley, garlic and onions interspersed with colorful flowers ... "It's kinda just a dream, but ..." he shrugged.
Olsen, a biochemistry and cellular biology major, wants to transform the unused, 2,000-plus-square-foot parcel of University of Kansas land into a large garden and donate the produce to local soup kitchens.
Aaron Olsen, Overland Park sophomore, breaks ground on a site he has secured to build a garden for an organization he started, called Campus Garden. He plans on donating all produce to local soup kitchens.
He put the plan into motion during finals week in the spring when he approached the University with his request.
"I was excited by the idea," Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said. "But I knew we had some hurdles."
The first test for Olsen's idea came before he even picked up a shovel. He needed to write a detailed proposal, so he spent the summer learning every inch of the land: collecting soil samples, counting the number of trees on the plot and deciding how he would turn this unwanted parcel of land into a garden.
Olsen then lined up a few volunteers and gained 20 more at the club and organization fair during Hawk Week. He named the project Campus Garden and has created a Web site, www.ku.edu/~cgarden.
After completing liability forms and other legal paperwork with the help of the Center for Community Outreach and University officials. Olsen gained permission to grow a garden and received $500 for soil and equipment from Student Senate.
Olsen first sunk his shovel into the
soil Aug. 11. He planted a row of irises, rosemary and chives in a small triangle of weeds bordered by a building, a sidewalk and a wooden fence, with a stone ashtray filled with Marlboro butts at its vertex.
It took him 10 hours to mix the soil and plant the 8-by-2 feet row.
"The garden's not really what's most efficient. What supports the community most, what drives volunteering and gets students involved is really more important."
"It's kind of my experimentation ground," he said. He knows it will take at least a year and thousands of sweaty hours before all the land resembles a garden.
On Tuesday, Olsen picked up a power drill delivered by a volunteer and crouched down on a dilapidated deck that sits on the northeast corner of the lot.
"The way I think about it, it would maybe be more efficient to have a fund-raising event and take the money to Costco or Sam's Club and buy some cans of beans or something." he said.
As the dark, gray sky threatened to rain, Olsen pressed the drum into a rusty screw and drew it out of the soggy wood. Step by step, he's building his garden.

Gotti admits having 'precancerous cells'

"If you look it up on the Internet, it is cancer," added the daughter of late mob boss John
NEWYORK — Victoria Gotti denied yesterday she lied about having breast cancer but acknowledged her diagnosis showed she had "precancerous cells"
The NewYork Post, which carried a front-page headline declaring "Gotti's sick cancer scam," reported yesterday that Gotti never had breast cancer as she had told the rival Daily News.
"I could leave it alone and watch it, or get surgery," Gotti told the Post. "I chose to be aggressive and get the surgery."
She made similar comments Monday night on CNBC, according to the Post. The News had reported Sunday that Gotti, 42, kept the news to herself - hiding her
treatments from her three sons and the producers of their reality show, "Growing Up Gotti," on the A&E network.
Gotti told ABC the News article "was for the most part accurate."
"The reporter was not lying," she said. "She was not embellishing."
"Every day since this happened, people have been asking me, Well, do you have cancer? Or is it not?" Gotti said. "There's no easy way to explain that. It is the illness. You have to look it up to understand it."

Credit scam hits KU, then Emporia
BY KEN EASTHOUSE
EMPORIA STATE BULLETIN
Students looking to score free pizza Tuesday afternoon were told all they had to do was fill out a credit card application and they would receive a coupon for free Domino's Pizza.
The Associated Press
The group giving away the pizzas set up a tent in the parking lot of Domino's Pizza. The group was not affiliated with either the pizza chain or Commerce Bank, N.A., based out of Kansas City, Mo., although it used documents with Commerce's name and logo.
Jeanne Howard, director of regional marketing for Commerce Bank, N.A., said the group was not working with either the bank or Visa, the credit company Commerce works with.
"At the present time we're following up on information," she said. "There are things happening behind the scenes, but it isn't us."
Domino's Pizza also said the group was not with them. An employee of the store, who wished to remain anonymous, said the group comes through about twice a year and does business with them. The employee also said they were not allowed on campus, but did not know why.
The scenario reflects a similar situation in Lawrence, where University of Kansas students were asked to fill out credit card applications in exchange for free pizza. The group there was not affiliated with either the pizzeria
or Visa, the logo on the credit card application.
As with the Lawrence case, the group giving away the free pizzas refused to answer any questions.
Chris Hoover, captain of Emporia State Police and Safety, said the deal sounded fishy, at best.
"Free is typically not free," Hoover said.
He said students should not fill out any form requesting personal information unless they are positive it is from a banking institution.
"Normal procedure is to check your credit report on a routine basis," Hoover said. "Watch what's going on with your accounts."
"Everyone should be suspicious and hesitant if they have to fill out any form," Hoover said. "They shouldn't even be talking to these people."
According to the Federal Trade Commission Web site, disclosure of personal information such as Social Security numbers and mother's maiden name, both of which the form requested, leads to an increase in the risk of identity theft.
Hoover said students who had already filled out the forms may be at risk, and advised them to begin checking their information.
If students feel they have been victims of identity theft, they are encouraged to contact the Social Security Administration at 1-877-IDTHEFT or online at www.ssa.gov/pubs/idtheft.htm.

"I plan on standing outside with pens and candy, something to attract people," Ramos said.
Emi Erekosima, Rose Hill freshman who is running for a freshman seat, is planning on making buttons, stickers, posters and T-shirts that will read, "Vote Emi, Absolutely."
Erekosima said she chose her slogan because she uses the word "absolutely" so frequently in her everyday speech.
Erekosima said she worked in student government in high school. She decided to get involved in Senate after an orientation assistant gave her a list of clubs during her summer orientation. Erekosima said her background in student government was what led to her interest in taking student leadership roles at the University.
Love said one of the difficulties of being a freshmen senator was learning everything about Senate as quickly as possible.
"It's very intimidating," Love said. "You don't know anybody except the five freshmen you come in with."

Magario met with Nick Sterner, Olathe senior and student body president, in late March. Sterner said it was hard to accomplish anything at the end of the year but that Senate outreach board members would

meet with representatives from AbleHawks for a discussion.
"We are a minority and we don't get a lot of representation," Zarda said. "I think a seat on Senate would help us get the word out."
There are 13 appointed seats on Senate, with six belonging to other multicultural organizations: International Students Association, Black Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Organization, First Nations Student Association, Asian American Student Union and KU Queers and Allies. These senators are not elected and act as representatives for their groups.
Stephanie Craig, Edmond,
Okla., senior and Multicultural Committee chairwoman for Senate, said having appointed senators ensured diversity that might not otherwise exist.
"While Senate is diverse in some ways, in regards to what our country constitutes as diversity, it's not at all," Craig said. "Elections don't guarantee diversity, so appointed seats rectify this situation."
In order for a group to obtain an appointed seat, a student must approach a senator who will take up the issue in Senate. The senator would then introduce a bill. In this case, the Multicultural Committee would take up the issue and discuss the validity of the request. From there, the entire Senate would vote on the measure.
Craig said if she received the proposal, she would make sure to discuss the matter thoroughly in Senate and ensure the legislation gets the proper attention it deserved.

Activism in action: students do ask, do tell Protesters must remain realistic Recruiting violates University policy
FACE OFF
PAGE 5A
With all of the activism that has sprung to life already this semester, it comes as little surprise that one target for protest is the military. Once again, some seek to stop military recruitment on campus on the grounds that the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy is bigoted and discriminatory. The problem with this protest, though, is that it is an attempt by some to impose societal ideals on the military at the expense of military effectiveness.
If you ask anyone who has spent time in or around the military, you will find that the armed services is one of the most color-blind segments of our society. In fact, minorities have held nearly every top position in the military and continue to play an important role in our country's military leadership.
This color-blindness did not come about simply because some social engineers decided it would be a good idea to eliminate discrimination in the military, but instead because the military realized that, in order for it to be as effective as possible, the most capable and deserving people needed to be
promoted to leadership positions. It is also for the sake of military effectiveness that gays are not allowed to serve openly.
Gays do serve in the military today, but the reason they are not allowed to serve openly is because there is an overwhelming concern that their sexuality will break down unit cohesion.
Contrary to the belief of some, most straight men do not want to live in intimately close quarters for long periods of time with gay men. In a perfect world, this would not be an issue because everyone could just get along, but in the real world, this type of situation creates tension and uneasiness.
This strain causes military units to work less effectively as a team and leads to an overall decrease in a unit's ability to accomplish the mission.
This reduction in performance may be an acceptable cost in the corporate world where the result is profit, but in the military, the reduction of a unit's ability to perform its mission can often lead to unnecessary deaths and injuries when it is faced with the
combat situations the military now encounters every day.
I'm glad that people are taking an interest in the military and are concerned enough to protest, but instead of seeking to expel recruiters because of a policy that conflicts with the notions of an ideal society, I hope that people take the time to examine the reasons behind the policy to understand why the military is reluctant to change its position.
PROTEST INFO
Joshua Goetting writing for the editorial board.
Regardless of what sida you take on this issue, there will be a protest held today with the intention of banning all military recruitment and training on campus. This is an excellent opportunity to make your voice heard.
WHAT: Rally Against Military Recruitment on Campus
WHEN: Today at 12 noon WHERE: Wescoe Beach, KU campus
There are many protests that are launched because of an organization's beliefs. A university law, however, validates protesting against military recruitment on campus.
There are two policies that violate the rights of KU students: the Solomon Act and the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. The Solomon Act says that if any establishment of higher education prohibits on-campus recruitment, the government can cut defense funds, transportation funds, labor, health/human services and education funds from the school.
In layman's terms, the milli-
The "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was instated as President Clinton's response to the exclusion of homosexuals in the military. The statute states: "The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a long standing element of military law that continues to be necessary in the unique circumstances of military service... The presence in the armed forces of persons who... engage in homosexual acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion."
tary now allows gays to be in the military, as long as they don't reveal or talk about their sexuality, because the presence of homosexuals would injure morale.
If the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was truly nondiscriminatory, it would also apply to heterosexuals, meaning that everyone in the military would have to be asexual, banning any signs of sexuality, including wedding rings.
Our membership solicitation policy states: "Discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital status, or parental status is prohibited. All campus-related organizations are required to adhere to the equal opportunity policies in the selection of their members." The policy applies to "employment practices, conditions of employment, personnel actions and all other educational programs and activities of the University and its affiliates." Therefore, any organization that is biased against any minority cannot solicit new members, promote itself or even provide activities on campus.
But if the administration denies the military — a clear violator of KU policy — the right to recruit on campus, the government is allowed to cut essential funds from the school in accordance with the Solomon Act, meaning a poorer education for students.
While recruitment is an essential part of creating an all-volunteer military, the government cannot expect educational establishments to abandon their nondiscriminatory policies. The United States is built on constitutions, contracts and equal rights, and while on-c campus recruitment may not be directly responsible for human injury, it is still in violation of a University policy. Should the military's bylaw concerning homosexuality change to represent all forms of sexuality, on-campus recruitment would not be in direct violation of University policy, and would be a welcome solicitation. The funds the University receives for propagating a setback in civil and equal rights progress sends a clear message that the University's morals are easily bought and sold.

It's August 23rd and guess what, my textbook isn't in.
Why? Because Kinko's sucks.
Actually, Bob Dole rocks my socks.
Dude, does Bob Dole read the Kansan? Because if he does, then either he's really, really cool, or our opinion editor is really, really lame!
At the KU games, they should call hotdogs hawks-dogs!
We all agree that the guy that went to alternative lifestyles night might be a little gay.
When did Honda Civics start sounding like crotch-rockets?
So I'm glad to see you're apologizing for the Bob Dole comment, but could you apologize for the general suckiness of it?
Okay, so I really wish ResNet would have just told us everything we needed to know about signing up for the Internet, or at least stayed open until they said they would. I'm pretty sure 7:30 isn't 8 o'clock.
I just want to say everyone slows down a little, because my friend is in the hospital and probably going to die because someone couldn't take the two seconds to stop at a light.
I just went to Sonic, not an hour ago, and it said they offered both "hot eats and cool treats." Do these refer to something inappropriate? Because I’m vagually aroused.
What's this about lowering your standards to whale? Whale is top-notch for me.
Wouldn't the forced merger of the Lawrence transportation service and KU on Wheels be a monopoly?

WHEN IT RAINES,IT POURS
Educating you, by the (face)book
Congratulations, freshmen! You've entered college, a journey that you will foggle remember as the best years of your life. Becoming a member of the student body at a major university brings many new responsibilities and unique privileges. Because responsibility will crush your youthful enthusiasm soon enough, let's focus on the privileges.
For those who haven't yet discovered this technological marvel, www.facebook.com is the online popularity contest that has taken all the fun, awkwardness, and actual human contact out of meeting new people. For the simple price of your college email address, and your anonymity, you can become a member of this ever-growing online community. Every new profile holds the promise of entertainment, disdain, anger, sadness, delight and ultimately, the savage satisfaction of judging others.
Unfortunately, like real life, your picture is what will determine whether people venture on to see what's down below. It's important to put your best face forward. Girls, browse through the hundreds of identical photos of you and your smiling friends huddled around a table, and find the one that you look best
Properly crafting your profile is of the utmost importance. The information you reveal will be the first impression you give to thousands of people who you'll probably never meet. Think of your profile as a first date, where you only have to reveal the good things about yourself. As an admitted and self-loathing facebook junkie, I can provide a veteran's insight into creating the best profile possible.
---
Under interests, keep it simple and vague. Be sure to list "Hanging out with Friends," or "Partying." This will set you apart from those people that don't like their friends or having a good time. Other good options are "Sleeping," "Drinking," or "Shopping" as there are few people with these interests, and you'll definitely stand in the crowd.
CHRIS RAINE
opinion@kansan.com
Under movies, putting "The Notebook" or "Napoleon Dynamite" will ensure that you share an interest with at least 100 million other profiles.
Don't worry too much about listing books; a simple "Who reads?" or "Yeah right" will say far more about you than any list of nerdy books. Also, this lets people know when to stop reading and move on to the next profile.
The meat and potatoes of your profile will fall under the personal info section. When forming facebook friendships, the interests you reveal are all that a potential friend has to judge you by.
in. Crop out your better-looking friends, and don't be scared to show a little cleavage. Guys, your pictures should make it apparent that you like to drink and or that you work out on a regular basis, and don't be scared to show a little cleavage.
Under quotes, be sure to have at least one inspirational quote, one inside joke from your drunken friend, and any quote from Napoleon Dynamite. Seriously, that movie never gets old.
Congratulations! You've successfully created your facebook profile, now it's time to explore what this online social network has to offer — this will be pages upon pages of profiles similar to that described above. But eventually, you will find that unique profile that will make you sick with longing, wondering how you're supposed to meet that digital angel that matches up perfectly with your interests, who looks gorgeous in his or her carefully selected photo, whose quotes and wall provide a glance at an irresistible humor and wit that could only be ruined by reality.
Perusing www.thefacebook.com is no more stalking than looking through the classified ads for job openings. A person only displays what they want others to know about them, so you shouldn't feel ashamed for taking a look at what they have to offer. Be liberal with your pokes and messaging, because an active online community is a healthy online community. Remember, a stranger is just a friend that you haven't "facebooked" yet.
Join groups at your own discretion, but remember, you'll probably never check these again. And if you join the "I'd so have sex in the library" club, you'd better mean it. Nobody likes a tease.The "About Me" section is only there in case there's anything about your personality that can't be easily determined by your superficial interests in various forms of entertainment. Most of you will leave this blank.

BTK
Technology that helped capture Rader may become widely used
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Technology that helped crack the BTK case could be put into wider use after impressing authorities involved in the intense manhunt for the serial killer.
U. S. Rep. Todd Tiahrt has asked the House Appropriations Committee for $3 million to fund a pilot project to work on cold cases using a computer system like the one that helped detectives whittle the list of possible BTK suspects down from millions to hundreds — and eventually to Dennis Rader, who is now serving a life sentence for 10 murders.
"It processes a whole lot of data," said Tiahrt, a Kansas Republican who met with a creator of the technology. "It was a tool
that they were able to use to supplement the detective work."
A McLean, Va.-based company, EagleForce Associates, developed the database for the Wichita Police Department, though it was an unlikely partnership.
EagleForce has a history of work on Defense Department antiterrorism ventures, but had never assisted with a criminal case. And homicide detectives in Wichita had turned to the FBI and other government agencies for help on cases, but never to a private firm.
Stanley Campbell, the chief executive of EagleForce, wasn't particularly interested when producers from "America's Most Wanted" suggested he offer his help. That changed when he saw evidence from the BTK killings, particularly the details
of 11-year-old Josephine Otero's murder.
"It was bone chilling," Campbell said. "When I saw that, I was in."
EagleForce put a half-dozen of its experts on the case, setting up a "virtual case file" that pools all the evidence from the 31-year history of the BTK murders in a single database. That system cross-correlates data to find links that might not easily appear to detectives. It rates information by the probability it is true — a known fact like an address is given a high value, while something from one of BTK's communiquis is given a low one. And it can analyze a suspect's language through communications, patterns exhibited at crimes and in letters and facts about known movements and affiliations.

This year's Kansas football team will only go as far as its defense will take it.
Last year, the defensive unit was good, and the Jayhawks were in every game. The problem was that the solid effort was only good enough to win four games.
Defense holds key to successful Jayhawk season
At first glance, the blame for most of those losses landed squarely on the offense. It's the stance that almost everyone took after last season, and most fans are hoping that a quarterback will emerge to
take pressure off the defense this year.
A scenario where the KU offense allows the KU defense to stay off the field and have the occasional slip up would truly be grand. But if you compare this year's defense to the offense, it's clear more should be asked of the defense.
That's due in large part to two players.
sistently stellar defense to a Super Bowl victory.
To do that, the defense doesn't have to shut out every opponent. It only has to do the little things, such as making the routine tackle, not committing that foolish penalty and staying sharp throughout each game.
Had the KU defense done that last year,we'd be talking three bowl games in a row.
When opposing offenses line up against the KU defense, they should know they're in for an all-day struggle.
At Northwestern, the Jayhawk defense
junior cornerback Charles Gordon and senior linebacker Nick Reid.
It's up to these two to motivate the Kansas defense to get angry, step up and become a unit that other teams hate to play. When opposing offenses line up against the KU defense, they should know they're in for an all day struggle.
Kansas needs to be like the 2001 Baltimore Ravens, who, despite having one of the NFL's worst offenses, rode a con-
They are the leaders of this team, the best players on this team and two of the best players in the Big 12 Conference. Not only do they make great plays themselves — Gordon led the NCAA with seven interceptions last year, and Reid led the Jayhawks in total tackles — but they make the players around them better.
held the Wildcats in check all day, but once Kansas finally took the lead, at 17-13, and needed a stop to secure victory, the defense allowed a four-play, 81-yard drive in just over a minute. The Jayhawks lost 20-17.
The same was true against Texas Tech. After jumping out to a 25 point lead, the Jayhawk defense completely fell apart and let the Red Raiders score
26 unanswered points.
Against Texas, the Kansas defense had two opportunities to hold on to victory, but forgot the meaning of the word blitz, forgot how to tackle, and coughed up another late lead — albeit aided by a questionable call.
In other words, by making three more plays on the defensive side of the ball, Kansas would have been 7-4 instead of 4-7 last year, without any offensive improvements.
Although the offense must contribute, it is the defense that has the potential for greatness. If the Jayhawks turn things around this year, it's going to be because their defense takes that leap from good to great.

Memorial Stadium looked ready for the season opener last night. An inflatable Jayhawk greeted a few thousand fans as they entered the stadium. Meanwhile, the band was playing fight songs, the cheerleaders were leading the crowd and the football team played on the field.
But last night wasn't the season opener; it was the team's annual Fan Appreciation Night. Fans were first treated to the end of the team's football practice and then were granted access to the field, where they mingled with players and received autographs.
Senior Matt Berkey roamed the field after the practice looking for more players and coaches to sign his already-cluttered Kansas jersey. Senior quarterback Brian Luke signed his jersey with a silver pen. By the time Berkey was finished yesterday, he had 18 signatures.
Berkey said he was excited for the upcoming season and that he was not going to listen to the media pundits, many of whom are picking the

Lawrence resident Doug Green brought his daughter Kaysha and his 2-year-old twins, John and Karson, to receive autographs from their favorite Jayhawks. Green has been a season ticket holder for seven years and has high expectations for coach Mark Mongoose team this season.
"There has always been a steady improvement since coach Mangino has been here, and I think he has got his players where he wants them," Green said.
Dozens of young children, including Green's, ran onto the field with footballs and pretended they were playing in a Kansas football game.
Junior quarterback Adam Barmann posed for pictures in the endzone with children after practice while other Jayhawk players gave autographs and pictures to lines of fans.

Coach confident in secondary with cornerback in control

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
When a player has a season like the one junior cornerback Charles Gordon had last year, it makes it easy to decide who will control the secondary.
Gordon led the Big 12 Conference and tied for the national lead with seven interceptions last year and was named First-Team All Big 12 and Third-Team AP All American.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Gordon was a shy and reserved person, but he was still the leader of the secondary.
Those accolades put Gordon in the national spotlight, and he was named a Preseason All-American this year. He's also listed on several postseason award watch lists.
"He's a corner, but he'll tell a safety where to line up. He'll make the adjustments. Charles is the leader back there."
Mark Mangino
Kansas football coach
"He's quiet, but it's efficient," Mangino said. "He's not quiet on the field though. He's a corner, but he'll tell a safety where to line up. He'll make the adjustments. Charles is the
leader back there."
Gordon will be joined at the cornerback position by senior Ronnie Amadi or senior Theo Baines.
Baines was projected to be the team's starting cornerback opposite Gordon, but has missed practice because of a nagging injury. Mangino said he was impressed with Amadi's performance so far and has named him the starting cornerback for now.
Mangino is eager to get Baines back onto the field and contributing again, he said.
"He's falling behind," Mangino said. "Theo's got to fight back and get healthy and compete for it again."
Ronnie hasn't been the only Amadi that has impressed Mangino in the

Some tennis players shoot glances at opponents or yell obscenities out of frustration, but not senior tennis player Christine Skoda.
"I'm told that I'm too nice," Skoda said. "I'm the easiest person to play against, mentally. I am not mean."
The Edmonton, Ontario, senior doesn't have to display a temper to win tennis matches.
Being nice didn't take away from her game, though. Her positive outlook helped her earn two Big 12 Conference Player of the Week awards: one during her sophomore year and another one last year.
Kansas tennis coach Amy
Hall-Holt said Skoda's oncourt demeanor led to players and coaches occasionally joking around with her.
"We tease her and tell her to show more emotion and fight," Hall-Holt said. "Skoda doesn't let anger get in the way; she doesn't show emotions. That's just Skoda; that's who she is."
She said she wanted to make sure this didn't happen with the Kansas tennis team on her watch.
Skoda's laid-back mentality molded her into the team leader for the Jayhawks. The sports and fitness management major said she noticed that other tennis teams struggle with internal problems.
"You hear stories about how other teams have girls that fight and don't get along," Skoda said. "Since

She started playing tennis when she was five or six. Like many young players, Skoda said she watched tennis and emulated certain techniques, like the ones of her brothers.
Skoda said she learned the game of tennis from her older brothers and her parents, who were all tennis players.
Skoda said she was able to reach a high skill level by playing with and against her brothers and parents. She said they elevated her game to the next level.

Sheffield says he can't help former baseball star Gooden
TAMPA, Fla. — Former baseball star Dwight Gooden allegedly fled police after being stopped for drunken driving — and his nephew, NewYorkYankees outfielder Gary Sheffield, says there is nothing his family can do to help anymore.
"I've done pretty much everything you could possibly do." Sheffield said Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. "It just comes to a point where you have to let him go through what he's got to go through. Sometimes, it is God's plan for us to back off and let him do it, because the family has tried everything."
Gooden, who has a history of drug abuse, left the scene of a traffic stop early Monday after refusing to get out of his 2004 BMW to take a field sobriety test, police spokeswoman Laura McEllroy said Tuesday.

Runners rush to stay in shape
Imagine running 60 or more miles a week in addition to all the classes, studying, sleeping and social events that college students experience. For sophomore cross country runner Colby Wissel, this is a reality.
Cross country runners at Kansas not only keep up with their hectic schedules, but they also have to keep their bodies and minds in superb condition.
To achieve this, runners attend daily practices and train their bodies for long distances.
"We are doing mileage to get their stamina up because at the end of the season the guys will have to race a 10K and the ladies will have to race a 6K."
Runners get one day off per week to comply with NCAA rules, but their training schedules are still rigorous.
said Kansas cross country coach Stanley Redwine.
"Routine is key; you can't get out of your routine, otherwise it can really mess you up," Wissel said. "The closer you stick to your routine, the better off you're going to be."
After their daily classes, runners practice at 2:30 p.m. Wissel said practice could last up to two and a half hours.
Senior runner Angela Pichardo said training started for some by running one or two miles before classes that day.
Pichardo said Redwine expected this kind of work ethic from his runners on a daily basis.
"Per day, he prefers six miles," Piichardo said. "For now, it's six per day, and

After a day of classes, running and studying, the runners go to bed and start the process again the next day. Wissel said that although it wasn't always easy, he enjoyed the work.

Race director says Armstrong 'fooled' everyone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Sounding convinced that Lance Armstrong is guilty of doping, the director of the Tour de France said "we were all fooled" and the seven-time champion owes an explanation for "proven scientific facts" from a newspaper report alleging he cheated to win cycling's most prestigious event.
Jean-Marie Leblanc's comments appeared in the French sports daily L'Equipe yesterday, a day after the newspaper reported that six urine samples provided by Armstrong during the '99 Tour tested positive for the red blood cell-booster EPO.
In a statement on his Web site on Tuesday, Armstrong denied ever taking performance enhancing drugs and dismissed the article as "tabloid journalism."
"For the first time — and these are no longer rumors, or insinuations, these are proven scientific facts — someone has shown me that in 1999, Armstrong had a banned substance called EPO in his body," Leblanc said.
"The ball is now in his court. Why, how, by whom? He owes explanations to us and to everyone who follows the tour. Today, what L'Equipe revealed shows me that I was fooled. We were all fooled."
While Leblanc seemed convinced of Armstrong's guilt, fellow cyclists came to his defense.
"Armstrong always told me that he never used doping products," five-time winner Eddy Merckx told Le Monde newspaper. "Choosing between a journalist and Lance's word, I trust Armstrong."
often raised questions about whether Armstrong has ever used performance enhancing drugs. On Tuesday, the banner headline of its four-page report was "The Armstrong Lie."
EPO, formally known as erythropoietin, was on the list of banned substances at the time Armstrong won the first of his seven Tours, but there was no effective test then to detect it.
The allegations took six years to surface because EPO tests on the 1999 samples were carried out only last year — when scientists at the national doping test lab outside Paris opened them up again for research to perfect EPO screening.
Another five-time Tour champion, Miguel Indurain, said he couldn't understand why scientists would use samples from the '99 Tour for their tests.
"I feel the news is in bad taste and out of place, given that it happened six years ago after his first Tour victory, and after he won six more," Indurain wrote in the Spanish sports daily Marca. "With the little I have to go on, it is difficult to take a position, but I think at this stage there's no sense in stirring all this up."
UNITED STATES
POSTAL SERVICE
Arne Ljunggvist, chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, said the urine samples from 1999 still could produce legitimate EPO test results.
"I believe they may well, if they have been properly stored — without access to outside people so they cannot be tampered with. Also in a refrigerator or deep frozen," Ljungqvist said Wednesday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. "If not in such a situation — there's no guarantee they have not been subjected to undue temperatures."

French sports daily L'Equipe reported yesterday that Lance Armstrong used the performance-enhancing drug EPO to win his first Tour de France title in 1999, a claim the seven-time champion immediately denied. L'Equipe devoted four pages to its allegations, with the front-page headline "The Armstrong Lie." The paper said that signs of EPO use were found in Armstrong's urine six times during the 1999 Tour.

Union did not begin using a urine test for EPO until 2001. For years, it had been impossible to detect the drug, which builds endurance by boosting the production of

Armstrong has insisted throughout his career that he has never taken drugs to enhance his performance. In his autobiography, "It's Not
About the Bike," he said he was administered EPO during his chemotherapy treatment to battle cancer.
"It was the only thing that kept me alive," he wrote.

Brown has been happy with the aftermath of that Rose Bowl and said it has had a positive impact on the team.
Another reason fans are excited about the Longhorns' upcoming season is because of the team's thrilling 38-37 victory last season in the Rose Bowl, against Michigan.
It seems like Texas coach Mack Brown's job is in jeopardy every season. Last year there were several Web sites and newspapers calling for Brown's head after losing to rival Oklahoma for the fifth straight year

have taken it as a positive and as a motivator to improve," Brown said. "Our guys worked harder in the off season than ever before."
The Longhorns will be led by legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate Vince Young, junior quarterback. Young was put in the national spotlight after his performace in the Rose Bowl.
KANSAN file photo
Young racked up 192 rushing yards and ran for four touchdowns. He also threw for a touchdown and had 180 yards passing, which led to him being named most valuable player in the Rose Bowl.
"He has a chance to be the winningest quarterback in Texas football history, and we are really excited about him going forward," Brown said. "I think he will be one of the great quarterbacks to ever play college football before he leaves Texas, and I do think he will be an NFL quarterback, and a very, very good one."
Vince Young, then Texas sophomore quarterback, looks to pitch the ball during the second half of the Longhorn's narrow victory against Kansas last season. Texas is predicted to win the Big 12 Conference this year.
Young will be joined in the backfield by Selvin Young, junior running back. Brown said Selvin Young competed for the starting running back job two years ago, with current NFL player Cedric Benson, and almost won the job before getting injured.
Brown said he expected Selvin Young to take some of the pressure off of Vince Young.
Another player to watch on offense will be Limas Sweed, sophomore wide receiver. Sweed will be the main target for Vince Young and the most experienced player at the position.
On defense the Longhorns will be led by one of the best players in the country, preseason All-American Rodrigue Wright, senior defensive tackle.

Wright's list of acolades is too long to list, but Texas coaches were ecstatic when Wright passed on the NFL and came back to school for his senior season.
"He is ending up his career as one of the great ones to ever play at the University of Texas," Brown said.
Wright was hobbled by injury much of last season, but is healthy this year.
The linebacking unit is an area of concern for Brown. It will be led by senior Aaron Harris, but after that it is a young group who will try to replace Derrick Johnson, who was a first round

Kansas' assistant rowing coach Jennifer Myers will lead the annual rowing informationa meeting tonight and tomorrow evening at 5 p.m. in the Wagnon Student-Athlete Center. The meeting is open to all KU women.
"The main thing we want to present is that you don't have to have past rowing experience to be on the team," she said. "We just want to inform and educate about the sport and show how rowing works in a Division I school.
"Both sessions will demonstrate rowing technique, show last year's video highlights, and have current or past rowers speak about their experiences."
"The highlight video was nice to see because it showed what you could be a part of," rower Dyana Lawrence said.
Lawrence attended the meetings last year as a sophomore and is continuing with the sport this year at the varsity level.
"I think hearing the women speak about past experiences was the determining factor on whether I was going to do the sport or not," Lawrence said. "They gave a good overview of why they choose to row and what it's like. They also answered questions on time commitment and traveling."
The rowing team is available on the side of Wescoe, in front of Stauffer-Flint, to speak to women interested in learning more about the team.

Chiefs' defense prepares for solid season with help from offense
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Practicing against the Kansas City defense was a lot more fun before all these new guys showed up.
With safety Sammie Knight and cornerback Patrick Surtain shadowing the wide receivers, pass routes are tougher to run. Offensive linemen, as a consequence, are hard-pressed to keep pass-rushers away from their quarterback.
With rookie linebacker Derrick Johnson dashing sideline-to-sideline, those backbreaking long-gainers that have proved so calamitous in recent years, undoing the work of one of the league's most explosive offenses, could become about as rare as they were in the days of the late Derrick Thomas.
Although encouraging for coaches and fans, the improved defense is proving frustrating for guys like Dante Hall.
"Last year, no matter what they had, you could kind of get them regardless of what the coverage was," said the wide receiver/kick returner.
"Now it's harder for us to get off the ball. They're a lot more aggressive. They're a lot more patient, more disciplined. They're smarter."
Two of the Chiefs' key offseason acquisitions have hardly been able to practice. But outside linebacker Kendrell Bell and defensive end Carlos Hall figured to get healed up enough to take part in Saturday night's exhibition game against Seattle and finally become a part of the package.
ther Cunningham can integrate all the newcomers into his aggressive, take-charge scheme and keep them healthy — and if an aging offense can hold its position among the league's elite for just one more season — the Chiefs could be headed for big things.
If defensive coordinator Gun-
Just a postseason appearance would be nice since they've had only one since 1997.
"Based on practice, I predict a top 10 defense easy," said Hall. "But it's yet to be seen if they can take it to the field and do it."
The Chiefs will also need a breakthrough season from Ryan Sims. The sixth player taken overall in the 2002 draft, Sims has been a disappointment on his best days, a bust on his worst. Last year he had just two sacks and 30 tackles.

Cincinnati buys out coach's contract
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — Bob Huggins agreed yesterday to step down as Cincinnati's basketball coach, ousted by a school president determined to change the program's image.
One day after Huggins was given a choice of resigning or being fired, he agreed to take a $3 million buyout of his contract. The school's offer includes a chance to stay for three more months, giving advice on basketball recruits and related matters.
"We are working on the details of the agreement, which may or may not be finalized in the next 24 hours," said Richard Katz, the coach's attorney.
Huggins left Katz's office without comment, dressed in his black Cincinnati jacket, when no final deal was reached.
The university sent Katz a letter earlier in the day outlining the $3 million buyout. The letter, obtained through a Freedom of Information request, offered Huggins $110,000 per month for the next three months to stay on and ease the coaching transition.
"His duties will include providing information about the current team, identifying and commenting upon potential recruits, and documenting his institutional memory of the basketball program during his 16-year coaching tenure," the letter said.
An interim coach has not been chosen. The school doesn't anticipate hiring a permanent replacement until after the 2005-06 season, its first in the Big East. The school will have a difficult time attracting recruits
in the meantime.
The volcanic coach who won more games than anyone else in Cincinnati history was forced out by an academically minded school president who doesn't like Huggins' history or philosophy.
President Nancy Zimpher sent Huggins an ultimatum on Tuesday, giving him 24 hours to either take the buyout, stay in a capacity other than basketball coach or get fired from the job.
"It could happen to anyone when you get hired by a different president," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said Wednesday. "There's a difference in philosophies. It happens. It's a change in CEOs. They have their own people, their own philosophies, and it's different than what Bob stands for."
Zimpher, hired in 2003, wants the program to recruit players with better grades and an aversion to trouble. She also wants her coaches to be better role models.
Huggins' arrest and conviction for drunken driving last year dismayed Zimpher, a strong-willed administrator who wound up in a power struggle with the strong-willed coach. She refused to extend his contract last May, setting the stage for his exit.
He may have been king of the hilltop campus, but it was Zimpher's hill. During a news conference on Tuesday evening, Zimpher insisted that the basketball program had to live up to her standards.
"We expect to recruit very strong students, both on the court and in the classroom," Zimpher said. "We expect our coaches to be role models, and
we expect our students to be role models. I will not apologize for setting high standards."
During Huggins' 16-year stay at Cincinnati, the Bearcats made the Final Four and were ranked No.1 nationally for the first time in 34 years. They also developed a history of player arrests and violations that resulted in an NCAA probation in 1998 and a hoodlum image nationally. In the 1990s, the Bearcats had one of the lowest graduation rates in the nation.
After last season ended, a player was kicked off the team for having a gun on campus. An assistant coach was charged with drunken driving, but was acquitted at trial.
Pitino, who sent Huggins an encouraging message after his heart attack in 2003, was saddened by the oster.
"Bob Huggins, a lot of times, is misunderstood," Pitino said. "He's someone who cares a great deal about his players. He wants to see them do well and he really goes the extra yard for players."
Huggins' ouster less than two months before the start of the season shocked fans and the small number of students who were on campus yesterday. Fall quarter classes begin Sept. 21.
The timing irked some students.
"If Zimpher was going to get rid of him, she should have done it after the DUI and not waited until now when it's so close to the start of the season," said junior Alan Gerken.
Cincinnati fans have readily forgiven players for suspensions and arrests because the program has been so successful.

preseason. He has also been pleased with Ronnie's brother, Donnie.
Donnie, also a senior comeback, will see playing time this season. Mangino said he could see increased playing time if Gordon gets more repetitions at wide receiver.
The brothers' work ethic has pleased Mangino, he said.
With the help of our coaching staff and our strength staff, they have made themselves good football players."
"When I got here four years ago, they would have had a rough time covering me," Mangino said. "They never give up. They work hard."
The safety positions are projected to be filled by junior Jerome Kemp and senior Rodney Fowler.
Fowler played in all 11 games last season and made two starts. He had 25 tackles and had his best game against Iowa State, where he collected eight tackles. Mangino said he expected to see that kind of performance repeated this year.
"Rodney Fowler is coming on, and he's a very intelligent player," Mangino said. "He's a guy that we're expecting to have a big season."
Kemp beat out freshman Aqib Talib, who took a redshirt last season, for the other safety position. Kemp played in all 11 games last season as a safety and also contributed on special teams.
Mangino said he was confident in the secondary and was hoping the backups would make significant contributions.
"We have four or five pretty good players and two swing players," Mangino said. "The front line guys are going to be pretty strong."

Editor's Note
I don't dive. The summer my mom signed me up for diving lessons was a traumatic one. As I stood at the end of the diving board looking into the 12 foot deep pool of water below me, I was scared, "I don't want to jump," I told the teacher standing next to me on the diving board. He said I had to. Just as I turned to face the water, my teacher pushed me in. When I came up to the surface.
I was fuming. I came home from swimming lessons that day and told my mom I would never dive again.
Even though Katy Humpert's article about scuba diving sounds thrilling and fun - I'm just not sure that I'm ready to take that plunge.

Scuba diving substitutes
Local divers find ways to dive in the Midwest By Katy Humpert, Jayplay writer
My ears pop and my head reels at the sensation of breathing underwater an entirely unnatural feeling.
I awkwardly flap my legs — which are
somewhat impeded by my fins — trying to keep up with my instructor. As we descend deeper into the cool water, I adjust to the pressure and, for the first time in my life, experience

the feeling of weightlessness. The sensation is incredible.
This is my first scuba diving experience and I didn't even have to leave Lawrence.
Scuba diving — an sport most often associated with cruises to the Caribbean and piña coladas — actually exists right
here in the Midwest. Lake diving, cave diving, mine diving and even muck diving offer alternatives for the thousands of scuba divers who don't live near the ocean. While some types of diving can be dangerous and require extensive training, diving provides a fun and unusual substitute for the everyday Midwest getaway.
The image is blurry and does not contain any discernible text.
Who dives in the Midwest?
Scuba diving in the Midwest seems like an oxymoron. Jennifer Johnson, a certified scuba instructor at Blue Planet, 1305 E. 25th St., has experienced her fair share of taunts from fellow divers, who consistently say, 'You're from Kansas?' and 'Why would you want to dive in a lake?'
Gloria Ludwig, member of the H$_2$Oz Scuba Club in Lawrence, praises the
make the dive beautiful - although not everyone would find minnows quite as exotic as sea urchins and jellyfish.
Johnson, who has recorded more than 130 dives in almost three years, dives in Midwest locations, such as Stockton Lake in Stockton, Mo., and Oronogo, an abandoned zinc mine in Oronogo, Mo. While she still makes regular visits to Key Largo and other Caribbean locations with Blue Planet, the more affordable Midwest trips still appeal to her.
Lakes and abandoned mines offer a unique experience from ocean diving. Even with the murky lake water, Johnson says Stockton Lake is relatively clear. Moreover, the substantial freshwater fish and plant life

udwig, member of the $ \mathrm{H_{2}O} $ ub in Lawrence, praises the uniqueness of Midwestern dives. During her trips to the abandoned mine in Oronogo, Ludwig has explored a piano, a stack of cars, some old computers and even a small airplane.
These random pieces of artifacts provide fun investigations for those who cannot afford to visit a coral reef.
Most of all, diving in the Midwest is a great way to practice for ocean diving. Johnson and Ludwig both use local lakes to keep up on their diving skills in between trips to resort locations in the
Caribbean.
Should I be scared?
While scuba diving in abandoned mines and caves brings an excitement to the sport not found in the ocean, it also brings certain inherent risks. Clay Coleman, author of The Certified Diver's Handbook: The Complete Guide to Your Own Underwater Adventures, says diving in any environment where
On the other hand, Robert Rossier, author of Dive Like a Pro: 101 Ways to Improve Your Scuba Skills and Safety, assures that you can greatly decrease the risk by getting the proper

certification. Rossier says very few accidents in caves involve certified cave divers.

Beth Anstaett, Newton, graduate student, and active scuba diver, says there are other risks involved with lake diving. Because of the low visibility and murkiness of lake water, she says it is very easy to become disoriented. "I get more nervous in 20 feet of lake water than in 60 feet of ocean water", Anstaett says.
Getting Started
Lawrence surprisingly offers many different scuba diving options. Ligeia Espindola, Ecuador, junior, began scuba diving by taking the course offered
at KU. While you won't obtain your diving certification by the end of the class, Espindola says you can receive
all of the training you need in a pool to pass your open-water certification test. She took her test at Stockton Lake and has since been scuba diving in the Florida Keys.

Anstaett did her
training and certification through Blue Planet, which included three weeks of classes, two evenings a week. She now has completed 25 dives in almost three years.
Johnson suggests that anyone interested in scuba diving complete a Discover Scuba session before signing up for any classes. For only $10, the session lets you try out the equipment and decide if you like diving before investing money in classes.

CASA volunteers aim for safe, permanent homes for kids
At 17, Maria* just wanted to go home. Lisa Gilliland helped her do that. Gilliland and Maria walk around Massachusetts St., shopping, filling out job applications and talking. Actually, Maria does most of the talking. As they walk they eat ice cream and Gilliland listens intently as this determined, red-headed, young woman talks about her hopes for the future.
11
Sunny Day
At the beginning of her case, which started in September 2004, Gilliland, Baldwin City, graduate student, visited Maria every week as her case advanced toward finding the child a permanent home.
Normally, a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer spends time with their CASA child to find out what he or she needs and wants. In Gil-
iliand's case, Maria—at age 17—knew what she wanted.

CASA is a national program of trained volunteers who spend time with neglected or abused children and represent their interests in court in order to speak in their best interest to an appointed judge. The volunteers monitor their CASA child's cases and work one-on-one with the children to make the best recommendations for them. Volunteers gather information from a child's family, social workers and therapists to give the judge an objective perspective on the needs of the child.
The children, at the end of the day, want safe happy parents
CASA began in 1977 after a Seattle judge wanted more information about children's cases in order to make better-informed decisions about their future. He began training volunteers so they could answer questions in court on behalf of the children. The program was replicated across the country, and in 1982 the National Court Appointed Special Advocate Association was formed. In 2004, Douglas County CASA advocated for 91 children with 70 volunteers. The children's ages range from a few months to 21 years old. Nationally, there are 900 CASA programs and 53,000 CASA volunteers.
Johnson started volunteering in May 2003. She says she realizes that many people are scared about what volunteering involves, but once you are matched with a child it is an incredibly rewarding experience.
Johnson has worked on the same case since she became a volunteer and has watched as Brett*, her teenage

teaches volunteers communication and interviewing techniques as well as a background in abuse, neglect and many other topics that are relevant to CASA cases. Volunteers must be able to commit for one year because it is important to keep the same volunteer to a case to provide the child with stability. After the volunteers have graduated from training, the CASA staff decides which case they will offer to which volunteer. Gaines says the matching is a group effort, where the CASA staff members discuss the strengths and possible weaknesses of the volunteer and decide which case is the best fit.

interest in children, says Kerry Gaines, executive director of Douglas County CASA. The volunteers should be able to give two to three hours to their child each week.

CASA programs receive funding support from grants and fundraising. Douglas County CASA's annual fundraiser is called Casa 4 CASA, where one local architect builds a child's playhouse—some valued at $10,000 to $15,000—and then community members purchase tickets by donation to have a chance to win the playhouse. This fundraiser usually raises between $12,000 and $15,000.

Leeching off of Corgan
Lawrence's Doris Henson talks touring, transvestites and ex-Smashing Pumpkins star, Billy Corgan
Three years after Matt, Wes, Byron, Mike and Jamie formed Lawrence's own rock band, Doris Henson, named after Matt's aunt, who he refers to as his 'patron saint'. The band has just finished two tours, one with Travis Morrison Hellfighters and the other with Billy Corgan,
of the late Smashing Pumpkins. The Corgan tour is what interests me most as I wonder, how did this little local band suddenly hit it big by scoring a tour with the man behind Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
It started with the
FRS
band's friend and booking agent, Kansas City native Andrew Skikne. Skikne, a booker forThe KORK Agency in Oakland, Calif., entered the band with thousands of others petitioning for the chance to tour with Corgan. By the grace of God, or Billy Corgan, Doris Henson was chosen. Skikne was shocked. He says that as an agent, he is not always sure what someone like Billy Corgan is looking for in a support act, but that he gives Doris Henson full credit. He says that he thinks it was the band's live show and their songs — with serious hooks and catchy melodies expressed in a not-so-obvious fashion — that made Corgan choose them. And what happened after
VIVIENDA DEL RICO
the tour seems to fall into Almost Famous territory.
Q: Describe your first show of the Corgan tour?
Matt Dunehoo: Our first show on the tour was wonderful. It was in Atlanta, and that show was tough to beat. We got there and there was a road crew
and we had dressing rooms. We had a big catered meal, and then there were 3,000 kids out there, some that had lined up outside. It just felt real. We went second that night and we stuck it. The crowd loved it, and it set a positive precedent for the rest of the tour. That
From Left: Byron, Matt, Jamie, Mike and Wes. Photo courtesy: www.dorishenson.com
was the night we met everyone, so Billy's band watched the set and had good things to say. I wasn't really nervous, I was just ready to get out there and show everyone what we could do.
Q: Most interesting/
random thing you saw or did?
Wes Gartner: A 6'7" mustached transvestite dressed in stunning, black and white garb, Nick Lachey gassing up his Ferrari, David-Bowie watching our set at Webster Hall in New York City. Also the night both bands stayed in a motel for $25 a night and partied all night, met some interesting people and went swimming the next morning, which is interesting for me at least, since I haven't worn shorts in about five years.
MD: We went to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and met Jay Leno, Ludacris and Jennifer Connolly.
Q: What was the best experience of the tour?
WG: Playing with Matt Walker, the drummer of Corgan's band. In Corgan's band, he was playing a stand-up electronic drum set and not doing much. You could tell he wasn't satisfied. He finally asked us if we would mind him sitting in with us and playing some "real" drums because he liked our music and wanted to pound on something. Matt has played with numerous acts: Smashing Pumpkins, Veruca Salt and Garbage.
So, the second night of the Fillmore (in San Francisco), Matt (Dunehoo) introduced him and we played a song together .. Matt Walker, tearing shit up; it was amazing. I was smiling the whole time, thinking, "I'm playing the Fillmore with this well-accomplished drummer and everyone is screaming."
Q: What was your most rock star moment of the tour?
WG: Playing with Matt Walker at the Fillmore changed my life. Do you know how many famous and incredible acts have performed on that stage? Also pulling up to a show, getting out of the van and having the people waiting in line shout "Doris Henson!" and start applauding as you walk into the venue, that is pretty amazing.
Q: And what about Billy Corgan?
MD: Billy pulled me aside in Washington D.C. and he told me what a rad band he thought we were and how happy he was to have us on tour. After that, we didn't speak much and that was expected. Sad, but expected.
---
Q: Final thoughts?
MD: The funniest thing is that we actually got to be a part of
the Corgan tour, to leech off of his success in order to help cultivate our own. We met a lot of great people, including the other touring band with Corgan, the Crimea. Anything embarrassing for me
personally would just be about excessive behavior, but who cares? We had a great time and are so much looking forward to continuing to tour, continuing to gain momentum, fans and exposure.

It's easy to overlook one of Lawrence's top underground — figuratively and literally — hotspots. The Eighth Street Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St., is one of Lawrence's many unique venues for live music and especially dance DJs. Simply referred to as the "Taproom" by many of its frequent patrons, the dimly-lit tavern exudes a rustic, grungy feel.
"It has a really unique atmosphere. When I DJ here I think that most people don't feel as if they are in Lawrence. Instead, I feel like I'm playing records in a mid-70s Spanish Harlem dancehall," says DJ Joe McGuire,Taproom bartender and regular DJ.
The Taproom doesn't have any particularly amazing drink specials by Lawrence standards. But it does have one of the better selections of draught beers and finer liquors in Lawrence. It's also a choice destination for some of the better pool sharks in town with its three full-sized pool tables. When the Taproom isn't hosting live music or DJs, it prides itself on having the best juke box in town.

A friend for your new life
RA's work tirelessly to help residents transition from one home to another
By Chris Moore, Jayplay writer
Matt Brown, Grand Forks, N.D., junior, remembers the day he moved in to the dorms as a freshman and sums it up in one word: overwhelmed. "Your family shows up with three car loads of stuff. They help you move into this place you've never been in before and all your worldly possessions you've ever owned all of a sudden are in this ten by ten area." Brown, in his second year as a Resident Assistant — or RA for short — in Ellsworth Residence Hall, has seen his share of new faces move in over the last couple of years. As an RA, he is well-equipped to help new students with any problem they come across.
The dorms are usually an incoming freshman's first place of residence away from home.The size of the buildings and number of people,living in them can be extremely daunting for someone new to the college environment. But don't worry, freshmen. Your RA's are trained for exactly that situation and available for help.
Jacob Blasé, Great Bend, junior, is in his first year as an RA in Ellsworth. His goal for his residents is for them to have as good a time as possible this year while still not feeling as if they are staying at a hotel. He says that this should be a person's new home and wants every freshman to feel at home. He wants them to walk out of class and say 'I'm going home,' not 'I'm going back to the dorms.'
In the rush of packing everything up for their first year of college, freshmen tend to leave things behind. Brown says there are some things that students may not bring with them on the first trip - socks, towels and toiletries - because they take them for granted back at home.
Brown also says that there are plenty of other difficulties that his residents will face. He says that many students, especially those without siblings at home, can find it difficult to adjust to living with other people in the same room, or even on the same floor. And while
sharing a bedroom with a stranger may be worrisome enough for an incoming freshman, it pales in comparison to the problems and discomforts that many get from community showers. "A lot of people don't get used to them at all," Brown says.
One facet of feeling at home is the people that a person lives with. Brown says that students he saw tend to be very happy to get away from their parents at home but are often torn and upset to be away from a lot of the friends they have grown up with. But Brown says that those initial worries and concerns will subside in time. "They get through it."
RA's advise residents to talk to them if they begin to feel homesick. They've got plenty of tips for curing homesickness, the most important being to meet people. Blasé adds that the best way to meet people of the opposite sex — which can be a source of much undo stress for freshmen — is to walk down an all-girls or all-guys wing in the dorms, knock on doors and says something like 'Hey, I'm from Three North.'
Andy Marsh, Topeka, freshman, says that his RA has been really helpful so far. He says that his RA showed him where to enroll and where to find basic things like the laundry rooms in the dorms. Dave Roush, Manhattan, freshman, says that his RA even showed him how to set up his room to make it look cool. He says it has helped with meeting new people and that once that starts happening, the college atmosphere can get pretty chill.
It's also important to know that college isn't just house parties and kegs. So don't worry if you feel like you staying in, sitting on your couch and playing a video game. You can still make plenty of friends. It's really easy to walk down the hall and find someone to hang out with. Chances are that there are plenty of people doing and feeling the same thing.

I had drunken sex with my boyfriend while on my period and I forgot I had a tampon in. Now I can't find it and I'm worried. Could this be dangerous?
- Libby, Sophomore
Brian: I won't lie to you. I only know a little about the female cleansing process. But to me it doesn't sound like a good idea to be having drunken sex during it anyway. Either take out the tampon or try to keep off the guy for a week. As for getting it out, do you have a pair of pliers handy? If not, call your doctor.
Jessica: Yeah, got any other method of extraction besides pliers on the offchance you're not some wallered out streetwalker? Tweezers, maybe. You should probably remove it before you get T.S.S. — you know, the entire reason for that folded piece of paper inside the tampon box? Toxic Shock Syndrome is potentially fatal if tampons are left in for too long. If need be, see a doctor. Chances are you'll be fine. To prevent this from happening in the future, don't get drunk and forget to tell your boyfriend that you're on the rag. He deserves the heads up!

Every time we're around my girlfriend's mom she talks about the distant future with us. This freaks me out. What can I do to ease the awkwardness?
Terrence, Senior
Jessica: Smile and nod if you're uncomfortable. What could be worse than 'you know, Mrs. R, I really dig fooling around with your daughter, but I'm not looking to settle down just yet?' The truth is she's probably been getting cues from her daughter and if you two aren't on the same page, her parentals probably aren't either.
Make sure you and your girlfriend are in agreement and things will be dandy.
Brian: It seems that our parents love to look into our distant futures while we tend to be more focused on the next test that we have to cram for or the party we'll be at tomorrow night. If you're uncomfortable when she talks about that, tell your girlfriend to ask her mom to take the conversation down a level. If your plea has no effect, you could always say something to catch her off guard. My suggestion would be something along the lines of 'I get to visit my dad next week. He'll be out of prison in 10 to 15 years. Would you mind helping me plan the welcome back party?'
I'm an out-of-state freshman living off campus.I don't know anyone and I was wondering how I can meet people. Any ideas?
?
- Ian, Freshman
Brian: While there are many stereotypes of dorms being gross and uninhabitable, they are by far, the best place for creating short and long term friendships. Other ways to meet tons of people include getting a job, joining a group on campus, stopping by bars
for the sorority girls, or just cruising around Lawrence looking for house parties. Rule number one when meeting new people: it's always easier to talk to people when you are fairly intoxicated.
Jessica: Take a roommate with you to the dorms and visit random floors. Usually, no one has established their cliques yet during the first few weeks of school, so that's nice. Also, never underestimate befriending people from classes, especially those suited to your major since you'll probably see them in other classes. On weekend nights, hit up the 'student ghetto' for house parties. It's always a good time. Good luck!

Houston and Laure
Ever wonder what happens when a French chick and a country boy mix? Well Laure Madonna, France, senior, and Houston Howerton, Noel, Mo., junior, have been mixing quite well together for the past two and a half years.
A common friend invited the two to a movie premiere at Liberty Hall in February of 2003. They were both shy at first, but a little intoxication at the afterparty helped them loosen up, and Houston asked for Laure's number. Their first date was atThe Mad Greek, where they say they were both nervous. Fortunately, Houston and Laure have gotten over their nervousness, and now enjoy cooking and traveling together.
Laure admits that Houston spoils her 'to no end' and he says that he has learned to say 'no' less, and 'yes' more. With her small frame, no one would guess there would be much consequence when Laure doesn't get her way. But as Houston says, "Never underestimate the pain that comes from small fists."

Ever wonder what happens when a French chick and a country boy mix? Well Laure Madonna, France, senior, and Houston Howerton, Noel, Mo., junior, have been mixing quite well together for the past two and a half years.
A common friend invited the two to a movie premiere at Liberty Hall in February of 2003. They were both shy at first, but a little intoxication at the afterparty helped them loosen up, and Houston asked for Laure's number. Their first date was at The Mad Greek, where they say they were both nervous. Fortunately, Houston and Laure have gotten over their nervousness, and now enjoy cooking and traveling together.
Laure admits that Houston spoils her 'to no end' and he says that he has learned to say 'no' less, and 'yes' more. With her small frame, no one would guess there would be much consequence when Laure doesn't get her way. But as Houston says, "Never underestimate the pain that comes from small fists."

EYE
Subtle and patient don't usually describe Wes Craven films. But the director of such gory horror films as A
Nightmare on Elm Street and The Hills Have Eyes delivers those two things in Red Eye. Craven and his two leads make it a solid, taught thriller that, at 85 minutes, is short and sweet.
Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy, two of Hollywood's biggest and best up-and-coming stars of the moment, are the two leads in Red Eye. McAdams stole Mean Girls from under Lindsey Lohan's heels, and hit all the right notes in The Notebook. Murphy gained notice for the modernized zombie flick 28 Days Later and a creepy performance as the Scarecrow in Batman Begins.
In Red Eve, McAdams plays Lisa, a hotel manager on a late flight back to Miami after attending her grandmother's funeral. Murphy plays Jackson Ripper (clever name), a charming gentleman with unknown motives. At first, it appears Jackson is trying to woo the beautiful Lisa, but as the two are sitting next to each other on the plane ride, he reveals that he's an assassin and their encounter isn't as random as it seems.
What follows is an expert exercise in tension. Sure, we've seen this before in a handful of movies, but what makes Red Eye successful is how well the two leads sell it. McAdams finds perfect balance between the vulnerable scream-queen we've seen in this position many times before and the strong-willed victim who's not going to take any more of her tormentor's shit. Murphy is picture-perfect for the role and picks up right where he left off in Batman Begins earlier this summer. He manages to pull off being charming and dangerous at the same time — not an easy task. Throw in a somewhat-wasted Brian Cox, one of the best character actors of this generation, and what results is a smart, tense thriller to end off the summer.

Velocity Dean Koontz
☆☆☆1/2
Choice is at the center of Dean Koontz's latest dark fable, Velocity. How would an ordinary Everyman—in this
KOONTZ
case a humble bartender named Billy Wiles—react if he had to choose between the lives of two people? Could he?
Upon leaving the tavern where he works, Billy discovers a note on his windshield. A killer promises to murder a schoolteacher or an elderly woman, based on Billy's actions. Believing it to be a prank, Billy writes it off. The next day, he learns that a young teacher has been found murdered. From there, the notes and the bodies pile up as Billy tries to both uncover the killer's identity and save himself and those he cares about from certain death.
The third principle is the seemingly preternatural intelligence and inhumane cruelty of the killer, who commits acts of violence so coldly that they must be brilliant, insane or both.
The second principle is the run-of-the-mill variety of the protagonist, who wields no authority but who by the end of the story has had to overcome his past, fear and doubt to stay one step ahead of his adversary.
Koontz's storytelling here, as in his novel Intensity, relies on three principles. The first of these is the pace of the novel, which starts almost immediately and keeps accelerating until the climax, when Billy has quite literally been through every sort of physical and emotional hell.
The upside of these principles is that they work together flawlessly. Velocity offers passages of intense drama as Billy must approach suspects and cover up the murders due to fear of becoming a suspect. There are enough red herrings and detours to keep the narrative tight but not stifling. And Billy makes a nuanced and fascinating lead.
The only real problem with Velocity is that it's an old road. It's the same basic version of Koontz's previous novels; there's really nothing new.

For a well-executed formula, I commend him. For originality, he falls short.
MUSIC
Veda
The Weight Of An Empty Room ★★★
Veda is lead by the powerful vocals of Kristen May. Her voice is an immediate selling point as most people are blown away by the sheer power of it. The musical side is led by guitarist, Brian Little. His guitar leads mirror those of Coldplay and Kansas City's own, Elevator Division. Add in thunderous drums and bass lines and you have Veda, an indie rock band set to take one listener at a time.
The Weight Of An Empty Room has several standout tracks including "It's All Happening On Broadway" and "Song For A Friend" - with its added piano part and acoustic-driven bridge.
The albums only weakness is the fact that the band rarely goes more than five seconds without having a vocal part. The vocal parts are good, but the album lacks instrumental prowess. And although May's voice is incredible, it sometimes seems overused.
Overall, this album has incredible vocals, smart lyrics and interesting lead lines will help put Veda on the forefront of the Kansas City, indie-rock scene. If you'd like to see them, they're playing at EI Torreon in Kansas City on August 29th with MeWithoutYou and Dredg. Find their album in most local CD stores.
The bonus track on the CD, an acoustic version of "Lover's Lie," might be the best one. Its simple acoustic part lends itself perfectly to Kristen's soaring voice.
GAMES
—Chris Brower
Darkwatch
Playstation 2 or X-Box
☆☆☆
Recently, one genre has been completely disregarded by video game developers: the vampire-themed, western, first-person shooter. Fortunately, the folks at Capcom have released Darkwatch, arguably the best and only game the genre has ever seen.
The game puts players in the role of Jericho Cross, a veteran gunslinger out for one last train robbery. Unfortunately, this train happens to be carrying a vampire lord. Things continue to go awry for Jericho as he finds himself turned into a vampire.
Jericho's newly-found vampire abilities give the game much of its uniqueness. Players can use "blood-
vision" to see important items and enemies, float through the air using the "vampire jump," and utilize a number of short-term powers, learned throughout the game based on players' good and evil decisions.
Regardless, Darkwatch is highly recommendable, even as just a rental. Vampire-western fans should be pleased.
Graphically, the game looks superb. Environments are fairly detailed and the character design is great - although much of the game tends to be too dark to notice these things.
- Andrew Campbell
The only other drawback is its longevity. The game's singleplayer portion is fairly short, and the multiplayer component is a fairly bare-bones package.
Fullmetal Alchemist 2:
Curse of the Crimson Elixir
Playstation 2
☆☆☆
Edward and Alphonse Elric are back on Playstation 2 to solve the latest mystery surrounding the "philosopher's stone." The storyline is somewhat original, but takes a lot from the first few episodes of the animé.
The combat in this game is more fast-paced than its predecessor. The fighting is still pretty straightforward with hack-and-slashing button combinations, but it doesn't seem as sluggish as the predecessor. The graphics have had an upgrade as well, by way of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai - going from polygons to cell shading.
The game still harbors RPG (role playing game) elements with leveling up the Elrics — with each new level you gain points to disperse between them.
Transmuting has become easier too. One, it takes less time to transmute objects and two, the pair of brothers that play the protagonists of the storyline don't have to find objects to turn into weapons (like spears and swords). Now Edward has the ability to form these weapons from the ground.
This game plays a lot like the first one, but you can tell it's had some work done to it. Still, it may only appeal to those who enjoy the series. The game sells for $39.99 at stores like Best Buy.

Running in circles
A failed effort leads to self-discovery
10
By Frank Tankard, Jayplay Contributor
We had more than 80 miles left when my body collapsed and my mind disintegrated. I remember saying something like, "Taylor, I'm going to Tracy's."
And then I was crawling interminably along an empty street to my girlfriend's warm couch, leaving my friend alone in the cold, in the middle of the night, inching 'round the track on what must've felt like broken legs.
It is important that I tell you this story, one of betrayal and failure and who I am.
This time around, the idea involved running. It told me to run 100 miles in a week. At first, I had some skepticism about the idea. But the more I thought about it, the more palatable it became. And soon the idea warped into 100 miles in one day.
I'd been sitting in my room, twiddling my thumbs on a cold October afternoon two years ago when I had an idea. This is how it always happens.
Twenty miles in a day would've made more sense, but 100 seemed like a nice, round number. Why not run 100 miles? People do all sorts of crazy things. Cliff jumping, for instance. Or riding a bike across the country. You can't explain it.
the only person I knew who was crazy enough to do it. Among other things, he was fond of racing his bike down parking garages at full tilt.
I hadn't run or worked out for more than two months, so I was not well prepared for our endeavor. But running had always come naturally to me on the high school track team, so I figured I'd be OK.Taylor had been biking nearly every day and was in a marathon training class, so he was better off.
We decided to start at night to get the cold, lonely part out of the way, so we'd have the sun for the meat of our journey. We took some water and granola bars, drove to the Lawrence High School track and started running.
Now, I knew this would be hard to do alone, so I needed a partner. I quickly found one in Taylor Lenon, who lived one floor below me. Taylor, gentle, tall and lanky with black curly hair, was
It took until mile eight for me to realize what a crazy idea this was. By mile 12, I felt like I was running on stilts and I had to stop every couple of laps. I alternated between running and lying on the ice-cold track with my hands wrapped around my legs. It was about this time that I started saying, "Taylor let's go back."
Taylor would have none of my wavering. He'd said he would run 100 miles, and that, by God, he would give it all he had. I could see in his eyes that he was disappointed in me.
Close to mile 20, as we stumbled our way around the track and I told him I was checking out. He didn't plead with me to stay. We finished the lap, and I walked onto the street and turned toward Naismith Hall for my girlfriend's couch. As I walked away, I turned and saw Taylor's silhouette etching its way around the pitch-black track.
A couple of hours later, two friends dragged me off the couch and took me back to Lawrence High. Taylor was still there, walking slowly and silently around the track with a dead look in his eyes. A few other friends of ours who'd come for moral support walked with him. I joined them for a few final laps before he made it to 30 miles and called it a night.
I now realize what the difference was between Taylor and me on that night - why he was able to succeed, in my eyes, and I was not. I learned my weakness.
I reach for the impossible and head into it without preparation. I do it all the time, actually. And I don't regret it. Sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn't. More important, though, was that on that night I wasn't there for my friend.
Fall is approaching and I think I might callTaylor. Maybe we can give 100 miles one more shot. And maybe this time I'll do a little training beforehand. I know it would be better to aim for 30 or 40 miles. But I'd rather not. I'd rather go for 100, and if we don't make it, we don't make it.
But this time, Taylor, I'l stay with you.

Protestors storm Beach
Students, faculty and Lawrence residents oppose military recruitment on campus

KANSAN SCORE WRITER
A Lawrence-based group took over Wescoe Beach yesterday to protest against military recruitment on campus.
With police in attendance for security, Lawrence Counter-Recruitment members held up signs reading "We will not fight your wars" and "Military recruiters off campus." Members young and old gave speeches broadcasting their intent to end military recruitment on campus
and calling for an end to the wars overseas as a petition circulated through the crowd,
According to the petition, University of Kansas students and faculty and Lawrence residents, feel the military's presence on campus takes away from the learning experience and allows the war to continue.
The petition also says the military's policy of "Don't ask, don't tell" discriminates based on sexual orientation and goes against the University's discrimination policy.
Katy Andrus, Lenexa sopho
more and LRC member, said military recruiters demonstrate a military presence on campus.
Erica Goddard, Lawrence sophomore, said she felt her rights as a homosexual were being violated.
"Even if they change their 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy to allow queer students to fight for them, it's not going to change my opinion," she said. "I want them off my campus."
One student didn't agree with the group's arguments.
"I think their logic is flawed simply because this is a University funded mainly by the government," said Sean Collins, Garden City senior.
Collins said he believed the military recruiters represented the government and had a right to be on campus.
For Army officer Donald Hughes, the protest provided an opportunity to see other opinions concerning military issues.
He said he didn't agree with the group, but he said he understood that the demonstration was just a credit to his duty.
"I totally respect their opinions. That's what I fight for: So that people can have the opportunity to voice their opinions and speak about what they are against." Huehes said.

Credit card hoax ended
BY GABY SOUZA
gouza@kansan.com
KANSA STAFF WRITER
The truth has been told about the apparent credit card scam that began in Lawrence on August 18.
The two apparent scammers were working through Elite Marketing Group, which was hired by Commerce Bank, N.E. The two employees were fired for failing to comply with regulations set by the bank company, bank sources said Thursday.
Kyle Ossiander, manager at Cici's Pizza in Lawrence, said that everything the two employees gave to him appeared credible.
"All the proper documentation was there for us to see." Ossiander said
The individuals were known to have been in Lawrence and Emporia. Mark Heider, president of Commerce Bank in Lawrence, said the individuals were no longer connected with Commerce Bank and that the bank itself would never be associated with scamming.
"We would never do this to KU students." Heider said.
Both Jeanne Howard, regional director of marketing for Commerce, and Carl Bradbury, director of student services for Commerce, said they had been concerned about a possible identity theft scare, but were not worried anymore.
"This is no longer an identity theft scare — we're no longer concerned about that," Howard said.
Elite Marketing Group could not be reached for comment.
Neither Howard nor Bradbury could say what would become of the applications that were filled out, although Howard indicated she believed they would be processed routinely.

Woman gyno joins Watkins staff

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When Dr. Henry Buck decided to retire after working since 1987 as the only gynecologist at Watkins Student Health Center, Dr. Carolyn Johnson said he called her and asked whether she was interested in taking over his duties.
"For a long time I had said when he retired, I would be interested, because I thought it would allow me to spend more time with my children," she said.
When Buck retired, Watkins put out notices in various professional magazines for the open position of gynecology. Also, local gynecologists whom the staff had known professionally were notified.
Johnson worked in private practice at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., for the last 13 years, she said.
"For a long time I had said when he retired,I would be interested,because I thought it would allow me to spend more time with my children."

Designer series begins
Graphic design presentation kicks off Hallmark symposium
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The department of design will kick off its 22nd annual Hallnark Design Symposium Series on Monday at 6 p.m. at the Spencer Museum of Art.
The series brings professional designers from throughout the country to give presentations on the realities of working as a designer.
Greg Thomas, chairman of the department of art and design, said because the University of Kansas was in a landlocked state, designers had to be brought to campus.
"These people may be accessible in New York or Los Angeles, but obviously we are in the middle of the country and don't have direct contact with them all the time." Dick Varney, associate professor of design, said. "Lots of people in the design field know who we are because of the symposium series."
sust series The first speaker in the series will be Patricia Belyea. She is the founder and strategic designer of Belyea, a Seattle-based graphic design firm specializing in branding, marketing and development
Belyea said she would feature old marketing and advertising projects used to promote her firm.
"I'm not here to lecture or teach." Belyea said. "I'm here to give them a personal story on the reality of leading a small graphic design firm."
Thomas said the symposium would expose KU students to the fast-paced, dynamic atmosphere in the design field.
"The people we bring in are talking about what's happening in real time. It's not like reading from a textbook or looking at slides," Thomas said.
The Hallmark Design Symposium, which is sponsored by an endowment from Hallmark Cards, Inc. is a free lecture series open to the public.
Varney said Hallmark cut portions of funding for the series about five years ago when the department decided to expand from visual communication elements, like graphics and illustration, to include interior, craft and industrial design topics.
To compensate for the loss, the design department now uses some of its own money. Varney said.
He said the decision to bring

"We opened the symposium to other disciplines so that students could receive a more well-rounded education regarding career possibilities and find inspiration from unexpected places," said Andrea Witzak, lecturer in design.
Thomas said it was important for students to keep up to date on changes and trends in design.
"As designers, we have to be aware of other disciplines. Nowadays, it's very possible a graphic designer could be doing dinnerware for a company and they would need to learn how to deal with ceramics," Thomas said.

"I would say the symposium is beneficial because you get to relate to how designers and contemporary artists function today in the real world," said Kyle Gray, Salina senior and graphics design major.
Notable speakers in the design field from past symposiums include Lou Danziger, Paula Scher, Alan Colbert and Milton Glaser.

Heavy rains cause dangerous flooding
EL DORADO — A powerful wave of thunderstorms early Thursday dumped more than 9 inches of rain here, pushing Walnut River levels to the limit, flooding streets and forcing evacuations.
No injuries or deaths were immediately linked to the storms, which began Wednesdays day evening and continued
throughout the night, but they caused problems around the region.
East of here in Chanute, a roughly 30-foot break in the Neosho River levee appeared Thursday afternoon, according to Max Gough, Neosho County's chief of emergency management.

Former Kansas House Speaker to run for governor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Former House Speaker Robin Jennison says he's getting into the governor's race because he doesn't like the way Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is doing things, especially when it comes to school finance.
But before he can take on the Democratic governor in the general election next November, he first must win the Republican primary in August, where his biggest challenger is Doug Mays of Topeka, the current House speaker.
"I've been watching what has been going on and just got frustrated," Jennison said Thursday. "I was troubled by her position on (school finance), and I guess that is probably the straw that broke the camel's back."
The 51-year-old rancher from Healy criticized Sebelius for allowing a school finance bill to become law without signing it during the Legislature's regular session.
The state's highest court ruled in June that the $142 million increase for education failed to meet its mandate for adequate funding. That forced a special session during which legislators came up with an extra $148 million for schools, but complained about the court overstepping its authority by ordering lawmakers to spend more money.
"School finance is too important to walk away from," Jennison said. "She just sent it over to the Supreme Court and begged them to weigh in on the appropriations process and I think that is dangerous."
STATE GOVERNMENT
"I don't think it's a matter if you think it's spending too much money or whether you don't spend enough, you don't want the Supreme Court involved. It should be up to the Legislature," said Jennison, adding he hasn't decided on a running mate.
Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said, "Gov. Sebelius is focused on the job Kansans elected her to do.
Regardless who may or may not be running in 2006, she remains committed to serving all Kansans to the best of her ability."
Mays is on vacation and couldn't be reached for comment. But GOP State Chairman Tim Shallenburger said Jennison, who calls himself a conservative, would be "a serious contender."
"He is more moderate than Doug, or at least he's perceived that way. Fundamentally they both are traditional Republicans," Shallenburger said. "They're both good guys. There's not going to be a lot of back biting and name calling."
The party chief said both candidates will have to get their names before the voters.
He also worked as a lobbyist for expanded gambling in the state, but said that won't hurt his campaign.
Jennison first was elected to the House in 1990 and served a decade, including two years as speaker. Since then, he's been running his ranch and is a partner in Kansas Outdoors, which promotes outdoor recreation, and hosted an outdoors radio program in western Kansas.
"There will be some for me and some against me and a lot in the middle who it won't be a big issue for them," he said.
"I think Doug has better name recognition right now, but none have the name ID like Sebelius," Shallenburger said. "They are going to have to raise money to buy name ID."
Also running for the GOP nomination are Dennis Hawwer, an Ozawkie attorney and Libertarian candidate three years ago, and retiree Richard Rodewald of Lawrence, a perennial candidate for state and federal office.
"I'm going to campaign on having a vision for the state and being willing to step out and lead," Jennison said. "This state has great opportunity, but there are times when government inaction hamstries people from doing things."

Professor battles ticket, no matter the costs
BY STEVE LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Moving violations and parking tickets are inevitabilities of driving, and most people plead guilty and pay the fines.
Not Zamir Bavel.
He claims he was not speeding and has been attempting to prove it.
"People should know, especially students, that fighting is not a lost cause," said Bavel, professor of computer science at the University of Kansas.
Bavel has been working pro se, or without attorney, in district court to prove his innocence by demonstrating that an officer of the Lawrence Police Department did not receive adequate training to use a radar gun, he said.
In municipal court, he was found guilty of speeding near the intersection of W. 19th Street and Ousdahl Road, in March 2004.
If he wins in district court in late September he will avoid a $45 fine, and gain vindication. So far he has spent nearly $1000 defending himself, and said he was hoping to create a landmark case law.
He spent the bulk of the $1000 on a polygraph test, which turned out to be inadmissible in Kansas court, he said.
"It should not cost anything, especially with my help and advice, which anyone can get for free," Bavel said.
For his efforts, Bavel has received local and national attention, including interviews with media organizations and numerous phone calls and e-mails.
"I can't cross the street without people encouraging me," he said. "Everybody likes the idea of fighting for the good man and improving the Lawrence Police Department."
Traffic tickets given in Lawrence have increased during the past two years, but trials contesting these tickets have not.
On Oct. 1, 2002, Lawrence created

a traffic unit with a $2.2 million federal grant, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department. The unit included seven vehicles, six officers and one sergeant.
Traffic tickets given by the Lawrence police department decreased from 20,579 in 1999 to 15,624 in 2001. But since 2002 tickets increased from 16,677 to 24,008 in 2004.
These days, Lawrence police continue to issue more traffic citations, said city prosecutor Jerry Little. But the number of trials have not increased, he said.
If people do choose to fight their tickets, many represent themselves, Little said. That officers don't often appear in court is a misconception, he said.
"Officers show up 99 percent of the time," Little said. "If they don't show, they're at risk of losing their jobs."
The more common scenario is that a prosecutor would lessen the charge from a moving violation to a parking violation, he said. This prevents an insurance company from raising rates. Fines increase with each citation, he said.
Speeding tickets are difficult to defeat, Little said. One has to prove that the radar gun was wrong or that an officer did not receive sufficient training, he said.
Operating a radar gun is a complicated task. Bavel said.
they should receive 24 hours of classroom instruction and 16 hours of field supervision, according to a training manual written by the National Highway Traffic Safety Authority, he said.
The trial
Before police operate radar guns,
The Lawrence Police Department has no set training requirement, Little said.
"We're not required to follow their recommendations," Little said. There's no law that says we have to follow them."
when Bavel cross-examined the officer who gave him the ticket, the officer said he had no classroom instruction and little field supervision, he said. The officer had been issuing traffic citations for nine years, Bavel said.
Errors in measurement of a vehicle's velocity can occur when an untrained officer operates a radar gun, Bavel said.
The officer had been trained and certified at his old job and at a law enforcement academy he attended, Little said.
For instance, a radar gun's reliability decreases significantly when an officer fires it at a car from an angle approaching 90 degrees. Even power lines and power stations could skew results, he said.
"The judge has to decide whether he has training and field experience," Little said.
"I know the judge must be irritated by my mistakes in the courtroom. He has bent over backwards to allow for the fact that I do not have legal experience." he said.
The judge has also accommodated needs related to Bavel's hearing loss, he said.
Though Bavel said he had acquired some knowledge of radar gun operation, his lack of legal expertise showed.
Ward said he could not comment on how radar guns function because of Bavel's ongoing trial.
"He allowed me to come close, as long as I didn't intimidate the witness," he said.

NATION "Redneck Woman" in trouble
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The state attorney general wants the country singer who made the song "Redneck Woman" a hit to stop "glamorizing" the use of smokeless tobacco at her concerts.
"Many young people attend your concerts and purchase your music and T-shirts;" Summers wrote in a letter he sent to Wilson Thursday. "Because your actions strongly influence the youth in your audience ... I ask you to take steps to warn young people of negative health effects of smokeless tobacco use."
State officials said Gretchen Wilson can be seen on concert jumbo screens pulling a can of Skoal from her pocket while performing her new song, "Skoal Ring."
The title of her song "Skoal Ring" refers to the wear mark left by carrying a can of smokeless tobacco in a pocket of blue jeans. In the final verse of the song, Wilson sings that she gets turned on by the taste of smokeless tobacco on her man's lips.
That may violate the 1998 settlement between states and tobacco companies forbidding tobacco ads targeting young people, Attorney General Paul Summers said.
Wilson won wide acclaim and a Grammy with her debut single "Redneck Woman."
Calls to Wilson's representatives at her music label Sony Music Nashville were not immediately returned Thursday.
The landmark $206 billion tobacco settlement "provided that advertisements such as this would be and should be prohibited" Summers said.

to the ground.
"The geothermal system is the only heating and cooling system that takes from the earth only what is needed," said Alan Lankford, engineer of Lankford and Associates, the firm that designed the system. "It borrows stored up energy in the earth and gives it back when the season changes."
"We were convinced that we wanted to try it after looking at the other units and that the long term costs will be lower so it will be worth the investment," said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
When making the decision to install the geothermal system, the University looked at hospitals and schools in Kansas City, Mo., and Wichita that used the new system.
While the University is optimistic that the unit will pay for itself in about seven years, the unit's installation is much more costly than other systems. The cost differential between a standard heating and cooling system and the unit used at Rieger Hall is between $70,000 and $90,000. Stoner said.
The decision to install the system was not solely driven by its efficiency but also by the noise reduction it provides. The system makes no noise, compared to the system at GSP-Corbin Hall, which causes noise pollution.
Candice Davis, member of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said this system was much better compared to the system at GSP that she has complained about for years. She appreciates the effort by the University to get input from the neighborhood.

the good one. "I just think it benefits the University, as well as the community and neighborhoods, to figure out ways to work together." Davis said.
With only 70 to 80 systems in use in the Lawrence and Kansas City area and with rising energy costs, Lankford said more geothermal units will be used in the future.
This system may be part of future projects planned for the University, Stoner said. That includes plans for another scholarship hall for men located north of Rieger Hall.
"This technology is coming. I think this is one of the technologies we will see more and more use of in the future," he said.
Sand is blown off the beach at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as Hurricane Katrina comes ashore. Hurricane Katrina dumped sheets of rain, kicked up the surf and blew strong winds ashore Thursday, toppling trees and driving sand across waterfront streets as it made landfall on the state's densely populated southeast coast. Two were killed when they ignored a directive to stay inside until the storm passed.
Falling trees kill two in Miami as hurricane hits south Florida

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.— Hurricane Katrina churned through Florida's densely populated southeastern coast Thursday with sustained winds of 80 mph and lashing rain. Two people were killed by falling trees.

spots:
Rain fell in horizontal sheets—seas were estimated at 15 feet—and blew gusts of up to 92 mph, toppling trees and street signs. Florida Power & Light said more than 412,000 customers were without electricity.
Late Thursday, Katrina was centered in northwest Miami-Dade County, heading west at 6 mph. An estimated 5.9 million Florida residents were in Katrina's projected path.
The storm proved fatal for two people who ignored warnings to stay inside until the worst was over. A man in his 20s in Fort Lauderdale was crushed by a falling tree as he sat alone in his car, while a pedestrian was killed by a falling tree in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Plantation.
"The message needs to be very clear. It's not a good night to be out driving around," said May Mayfield, National Hurricane Center director. "The back side of the core of the hurricane has yet to come. It's not over yet."

The usually bustling streets of Miami Beach, a tourist haven, were largely deserted as the storm pounded the area. The city is hosting celebrities and partygoers in town for the MTV Video Music Awards. MTV called off its pre-awards festivities Thursday and Friday.
"It's like a ghost town out here," said Mark Darrass, concierge at The Astor Hotel in Miami Beach. "I see the random, not so smart people, riding scooters every now and then."
Tourists and others hoping to get out of town before the storm were stranded as airlines canceled flights at Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports, which both closed Thursday night.
Three mobile home parks in Davie sustained considerable damage, according to the Broward Emergency Management Agency. "A lot of roofs are off," said Dennis Myers, a spokesman for the agency.
When the eye of the hurricane passed over the National Hurricane Center in west Miami-Dade County, forecasters ran outside to experience the calm at the center of the storm.
Carter McHyman said heavy downpours once again pelted their windows after the eye passed.

Floridians wary of Katrina prepared by putting up shutters, stacking sandbags in doorways and stocking up on supplies.
"It's not that I'm worried. I've been in south Florida all my life." Butler said. "But this is a feature of life down here, and you are smart to deal with it."
At a Home Depot in Miami, Jose Guerrera, 68, loaded 4-by-8 sheets of plywood onto a metal cart. He and his family huddled in their Coral Gables home as Hurricane Andrew screamed by in 1993 and he has been boarding up the house during hurricanes ever since.

Dozens of surfers and spectators lined beaches from Palm Beach to Miami-Dade counties to take advantage of the massive waves on the normally placid seas, and long lines didn't seem to be a problem at most area gas stations, supermarkets and hardware stores.

Katrina was the second hurricane to hit the state this year — Dennis hit the Panhandle last month — and the sixth since Aug. 13, 2004. Katrina formed Wednesday over the Bahamas and was expected to cross Florida before heading into the Gulf of Mexico.
After crossing the peninsula, the storm could turn to the north over the Gulf of Mexico and threaten the Panhandle early next week, forecasters said. Bush encouraged residents of Florida's Panhandle and Big Bend areas to monitor the storm.
Katrina is the 11th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1. That's seven more than have typically formed by now in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, the hurricane center said. The season ends Nov. 30.

Red Cross forgets mission
The reason people donate their time and hard earned money to not-for-profit organizations like the American Red Cross, is to save lives and to help people endure disastrous situations. It seems that the Red Cross, however, has lost sight of its core objective and become deeply entangled with various social and political issues that in no way relate to the organization's cause or concept.
Earlier this month, a man living in California was fired from the American Red Cross for choosing not to recognize Gay Pride Month. He and his co-workers were sent out a mass e-mail informing them that the upcoming month was Gay Pride Month. The e-mail asked employees to please observe and embrace this occasion. Offended, he complained to his supervisor, stating that the way of life of the homosexual community was against his religion as a Christian and that he would abstain from participating. His objection, in the form of a brief and formal e-mail, was overly disregarded by his supervisor. Unsatisfied with the lack of results or even a courtesy response, he pursued the matter further by e-mailing the national headquarters. He was immediately put on "administrative leave" by his superiors, and shortly thereafter fired. This man worked at the ARC for eight months before being fired and was not involved in any additional incidents.

MEGAN LOGUE opinion@kansan.com
This comes down to a breech of civil rights. How is it ethical for an organization that boldly boasts of its "humanitarian mission" to take away the job of a man who was simply exercising those civil rights? Shame on the American Red Cross for losing track of what its crucial function is and for veering off the path of dedicating itself to saving the lives of human beings.
If this is considered an acceptable reason for firing an individual, where does it end; where do you draw the line? More importantly, why is this supposed, world-reowned organization more concerned with social and political controversy than it is with building an institution that reaches the people in the world who need their help? The bottom line is, it is the help of the American Red Cross that this world needs and not their judgments.
Falling prey to the ever-changing world of what is socially and politically correct will only cloud the ARC and, in due course, will ultimately control and prevent it from doing as much good as it possibly could. "Diversity," as the Red Cross calls it, is mentioned within its main Web site severa1
It is simply this: in order to help save the lives of people in need, one does not and should not have to embrace or even disclose any information or action concerning one's personal beliefs; especially on something so unconnected as sexual orientation.
times in careful detail and structure. This should not be on the top of this organization's priority list. I personally have no preference for one over the other when it comes to the homosexual community and the Christian community, and the intention of my argument is not the validation of one over the other.

EDITORIAL
The KU Bookstores, University Bookshop, and Jayhawk Bookstores have always had a huge advantage in selling textbooks to students. It's nice to have the bookstores close and the textbooks easy to find, but it's always a hassle when not enough books are ordered, prices are increasing, and certain bookstores refuse to buy back students' books. Here are a few ways to get around the overpricing.
1. The Internet is always a good place to start. Amazon, com, Half.com and many other online bookstores can provide students new or used books for much cheaper, even after the shipping and handling fees are factored in. Another way to use the Internet is to search for the full texts online. Many books are posted online in full.
2. Swap books with friends, or form a network to start a Web site that posts what books students have so other students can go directly to the student to purchase for a fair price. This would result in higher buyback prices for the seller and lower bookstore prices. Everybody wins! There are swap meets like this at the Jayhawker Towers and residence halls, but other exchanges could be organized on a higher scale.
4. Students can always research their teachers and classes by asking former students they know. Some teachers don't actually assign every book on the list, so the prices
3. Share a book with a friend you have in class, or make a friend. Most classes don't meet every day, and it would be easy for both people to read the book within two days' time.

Welcome back to school, y'all. This expression is extended, of course, to my Caucasian classmates as well.
Studying abroad in Africa enriching
Or as the people of the Fon tribe in the French-speaking western-Africa country of Benin might say, "Yoyo yoyo, bonoir! Ca va bien? Merci!"
GINA FORD
opinion@kansan.com
The literal translation is, "White person, white person, good evening! Are you well? Thank you!" I learned this little ditty during my summer vacation when I traveled to Benin with friends. Two of them were blond-haired, blue-eyed females. These two, Heather and Natalie, were considered highly exotic in Benin. For three weeks, people would break out in song, singing, "Yoyo yoyo, bonsoir" whenever they saw us coming. It was hilarious.
Between my urban American style and my lighter-skinned counterparts, we attracted attention all over Benin. If the kids weren't singing to my friends, they were trying to take my shoes or hat.
BEST VIEWS
Even as I stood on the balcony of our house, a beautiful beach home that overlooked dozens of mud and tin shacks, people would look up and stare at me; the children would wave.
I have never before seen such poverty in any other country that I have visited. In Benin, there were many children with distended bellies who ran around naked.
As Americans, we take for granted the everyday items that most of us have access
to, such as personal hygiene products.
I spoke to a young man named of Fleurant Akpata while I was in Cotonou, the government seat of Benin. After smelling an unfamiliar odor in the air for a few weeks, I asked him about it. He said it was the African sun, and the lack of deodorant. Fleurant explained many people did not wear deodorant because it was too expensive.
"Do you want to buy deodorant or feed your family? Which is more important to you?" Akpata asked.
Don't get me wrong, there are some wealthy people who live in Cotonou, but most are not so fortunate. There is no middle class; you are either rich or poor.
This was a powerful experience that everyone should have the opportunity to be a part of. The University sponsors study abroad opportunities year-round to countries throughout the world. There are dozens of opportunities to study in European and Latin American countries, but unfortunately the program falls short when it comes to Africa.
After searching the KU Study Abroad Web site, I found that other than the Arabian
countries in Africa, such as Morocco and the westernized South Africa, there are almost no University-sponsored trips to Africa currently active.
As an alternative, the study abroad office offers Student Initiated Programs. Said Stacey Satchell, outreach coordinator for the Office of Study Abroad, students participating in SIP's are given some assistance from the University to help them find living accommodations and a sponsor in the country to which they are traveling.
Satchell said that they are in serious need of professors with links to countries in Africa, in order to make the program possible.
It's a shame there were no real opportunities for students to see different cultures in Africa. All my life I have lived in Washington, D.C., a city with a large metropolitan area and a staggering amount of poverty, yet I have never seen anything quite like Benin.
Africa is one of the most beautiful places on earth, but it is a continent that is struggling. Although our country sometimes ignores Africa on a national level, as educated individuals, take the initiative to educate yourselves.
I encourage everyone to travel abroad, for leisure or academics, because it will give you a greater appreciation for the life that you are fortunate enough to have.

Doctoral student wins award in composition

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When Dan Forrest, Ottawa doctoral composition student at the University of Kansas, received a call from a spokesperson for the John Ness Beck award competition, he was shocked by what he heard.
The spokesperson told him that he had won the first place award of $5,000 for his choral setting of "The King of Love My Shepherd Is." The fact that a doctoral student won the first prize is uncommon, said James Barnes, professor of music and dance and Forrest's composition teacher.
"This award is very prestigious," Barnes said. "It is the equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize for sacred composition."

composer. Forrest's piece was nominated to be included in the competition by two judges whom he personally knew.
One of the judges was his former composition teacher at Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., Forrest said. The other was a fellow composer who publishes with the same publishing company as Forrest.
The competition had seven judges, each of whom nominated up to five pieces to be considered. The judges then rated the pieces in order from best to worst. Each composition had to have been published in the past year, Barnes said.
Forrest received both his
undergraduate and masters degrees from Bob Jones University. He is on leave as a faculty member at Bob Jones University while pursuing his doctorate at the University. This fall, in addition to studying composition, he is teaching a harmony class, Barnes said.
"He's a brilliant composer and an excellent musician." Barnes said.
Forrest said he was happy with his decision to come to the University. He said he found it a comfortable and encouraging place to be.
"They have this great attitude that other schools don't have that is, 'We want to find out what you want to do and do everything we can to get you there,'" said Forrest.

Kansas to open new season against Alabama, UMKC
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After a long off season of preparation, the time has finally come for the Kansas volleyball team to get back on the court.
The KU Volleyball team kicks off its 2005 campaign tonight against Alabama in the first match of the State Farm Jayhawk Classic at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. On Saturday night, Kansas will entertain UMKC in the final match of the tournament. Both matches are scheduled for 7 p.m.
Alabama comes into the season with high expectations as well. The Crimson Tide have been picked to finish third in the SEC West by the league's coaches. They will put a fairly young team on the court, with only two seniors on the roster. Four players were lost from last year's team that went 21-9 and tied for first in their division, including two all-conference performers.
Kansas looks to get off to a quick start, much like it did last year by posting a 9-0 record before the Big 12 season. The team went on to finish 19-12 and tied for sixth in the conference standings.
Kansas senior setter Andi Rozum said the Jayhawks were excited for the season to commence and to get a shot at the
Crimson Tide.
"We played Alabama in the spring, and I think they will be tough," said Rozum, referring to training the two teams did together in second-semester scrimmages last year. "They have a lot of newcomers, but they will be a good test for us."
The Crimson Tide is led by coach Judy Green, who is beginning her 10th season in Tuscaloosa.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard knows Green and her situation well because they were friends who were hired at their respective schools just months apart.
The Kangaroos have plenty of new faces this season, but Bechard said he thought they would provide a good test for his team
"We've had a lot of conversations about what it takes to get a Division 1 program in a competitive conference to the level of play you want and she is very close to doing that," Bechard said. "Friday night will be an extremely difficult opener.
UMKC was 7-21 last season, good for sixth place in the Mid-Continent Conference. The Jayhawks dispatched the Kangaroos 3-0 last year in Kansas City. Kansas has dominated the all-time series between the two clubs, winning 22 of 23 match-ups.
"They are a little bit of an unknown," Bechard said. "They were competitive against us last year, though, and I'm sure they'll be competitive again this year."
"They moved the season up a week this year, and we usually don't feel like we're ready anyway."
Ray Bechard Kansas volleyball coach
The Jahawks hope to build off back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances as they return five starters from last year's squad. Kansas is expected to finish in the top half of the Big 12 again, led by three-time all-Big 12 senior middle blocker Josi Lima. Freshman middle blocker Savannah Noyes and junior defensive specialist/libero Jaime Mathewson will fill the starting spots vacated by the departures of Jill Dorsey and Ashley Michaels.
Bechard said he felt anxious about the preparedness of his team but that it was nothing beyond the norm.
"They moved the season up a week this year, and we usually don't feel like we're ready anyway." Bechard said, laughing. "It's jumped up on us pretty quickly, but we're looking forward to it."

Memorial Stadium experience better than Fieldhouse

The University of Kansas is a basketball school, so it may be a popular belief that basketball games are the best perk of being a student here.
Basketball games are awesome, but there is one place I would rather be than Allen Fieldhouse going crazy for the Jayhawks.
I respectfully disagree.

Even when the basketball team wins, it's always expected. Hardly anyone gets too excited about defeating a mediocre opponent.
On the other hand, great things are not expected from the football team. This allows fans to value the experience of game day rather than worrying about the outcome. Then, when great things happen, it's that much more surprising and enjoyable, even if it is only against an aver-

First, there are different levels of expectations. At basketball games, winning is the only option. Otherwise, Kansas fans are severely disappointed.
Sure, the Jayhawks will win most of the time while providing fantastic basketball and a lot of great memories. Keith Langford's game winner against Georgia Tech last New Year's Day will always have a place in my heart.
But when the basketball team loses, the entire campus seems to become depressed. Remember Iowa State? I sure don't want to.

Another reason football games are better is the stress factor. The preparation it takes to attend a basketball game is insane. If you want to sit anywhere close to the court, camping out is your only option.

Instant replay to debut
Big 12 coaches can now call for official review
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After a trial by the Big Ten Conference last season, instant replay will make its Memorial Stadium debut Sept. 3.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said Kansas will use instant replay in its three non-conference games against Florida Atlantic, Appalachian State and Louisiana Tech.
It will also be used in all Big 12 Conference games.
"We monitored the Big Ten experiment," Bob Burda, Big 12 assistant commissioner, said. "We owe it to our fans, athletes, coaches and member schools to correct the correctable."
Burda said that according to NCAA replay guidelines, only plays that involve factual disputes would be eligible for replay. Plays involving judgements by officials, such as penalties, would not be eligible for replay.
The Big 12 instant replay system is similar to the system used by the Big Ten last season
All reviews will be initiated by the replay official stationed in the press box. The replay official has until the ball has been snapped for the next play to decide if the previous play is reviewable.
The Big 12 instant replay system involves the following steps:
Conference games that won't
The game referee will be notified by a page by the replay official that a play is under review. The referee will then make an announcement that a play is being reviewed.
The replay official, in coordination with the on-field referee and an alternate official, will determine by a video if there is indisputable evidence to overturn the call made on the field. A decision by the replay official will be relayed to a referee on the field.
REPLAY REVIEW
The following will be features of instant replay in the Big 12 Conference:
Bill Callahan, former NFL coach and current Nebraska coach, said that while he supports the Big 12 system, he would like to see coaches be able to challenge calls made on the field, like in the NFL.

◆ Estimated budget for implementation is $650,000 to $700,000

Burda said that because of the configuration of stadiums in the conference, it may not be possible for officials on the field to view the video replays. He said that such decisions would be made on a case-by-case basis depending upon the school.

KJHK moves out for instant replay
BY RVAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas' student radio station, KJHK, will return to calling football games this season. But it won't be in the friendly confines of a press box.
In a joint decision by the station and Kansas athletic department officials, KJHW will now broadcast from outside.
The move was made in response to the Big 12 Conference adopting instant replay for the upcoming season. Big 12 rules stipulate that the instant replay officials be stationed in a secured booth, inside the press box. KJHK will move to allow the officials to take over one of the limited number, of available media boxes.

cooperative and understanding throughout the process.
Chavez said that KJHK had more opportunities than other college radio stations to broadcast games. The station will join the football team in Kansas City, Mo., this season to call the Jayhawks' first game at Arrowhead Stadium.
"It actually could be worse," Chavez said. "It was never as bad as it was made to seem."

Hot recruit gets KUID number but maybe not yet enrolled
Brandon Rush, a 6-foot-6 guard from Kansas City, Mo., who visited the University of Kansas on August 16 and is reportedly interested in playing for the Kansas men's basketball team in the fall, now has a KUID number.
When contacted about the prospective Jayhawk, an employee in the University Registrar's Office confirmed that Rush had a student ID number.
Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of admissions, would not comment on whether Rush was enrolled in any classes, but said student ID numbers weren't reserved specifically for KU students.

Big 12 pick a topic of debate
KELLIS ROBINETT AND TRAVIS ROBINETT
SPORTS@XANSAN.COM
Kellis: Looks like everyone picked the Big 12 champion to come out of the south division. I guess that leaves the question of which southern team it's going to be. I say it will be Oklahoma. Who are you taking?
Travis: I'm saying Texas. Senior quarterback Vince Young is awesome. Did you watch the Rose Bowl last year?
Kollis: Yes, I saw it. Still, you can't really think Texas is going to beat Oklahoma.
Kellis: I'm still going with the Sooners. They've got the conference's best running back, in sophomore Adrian Peterson, and OU coach Bob Stoops simply owns UT coach Mack Brown.
Travis: Why not? The last few years the Longhorns have lost that game, but they only played cream puffs in the non conference. This year they'll
get an early tough test at Ohio State. That game will prepare them for anything.
Travis: Stoops does own Brown, but Texas has the more talented team and Oldahoma is a little down this year. My gut tells me the streak will end.
Kellis: I'm still not buying it.
Travis: Well, who do you think Texas or Oklahoma will defeat in the Big 12 Championship Game then?
Kellis: Call me an optimist, but I'm going with Kansas.
Travis: Me too. The Jayhawks are going to win some games on the road they're not supposed to, finish
the regular season 8-3 and then get stomped in the title game.
Kellis: I definitely see the Jayhawks getting pounded in the title game. Eight victories seems like a stretch, though. If they win the north division it will be because they go 500 in conference and win a tie breaker.
Travis: Don't sell Kansas short. Five conference victories is a very real possibility.
Kollis: No wonder you think KU football games are more fun than KU basketball games. If the Jayhawks falter, though, I'm going with Colorado in the north.
Travis: The Buffalooes could be the biggest game on the Jayhawks schedule. Colorado is the media's pick to win the north, and probably Kansas' best competition.
Kellis: Now that we've got both division winners out of the way, what about the ever popular sleeper
pick?
Travis: Texas Tech has the schedule to start off the year with seven or eight straight victories. The Red Raiders have a chance against the Longhorns and Sooners, and if anyone is surprising us in the south it will be Texas Tech.
Kellis: That's not a bad pick, but Texas A&M is the only team outside of Texas and Oklahoma that has a chance to make a run at the conference title. The Aggies get the Longhorns at home to end the season and senior quarterback Reggie McNeal is every bit as good as junior quarterback Vince Young.
Travis: Nope, Vince Young is better. While the Aggies are an improved team, they're not there yet.

Hot off exhibition victory,'Hawks take on Big 12 opponents

THIS WEEKEND
Kansas soccer will encounter stiff competition to officially open the season tonight.
After a 2-1 exhibition victory against Drake last Saturday, the 23rd ranked Kansas will play host to Michigan and Wisconsin in a Big Ten vs. Big 12 Conference showdown.
Today's game has been moved to the Hummer Sports Park in Topeka and rescheduled for 2 p.m. because of excessive rain. Sunday's game has also been moved to Topeka and rescheduled for 2 p.m.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said that taking the field against Drake was beneficial, but this weekend would present the first real challenge
"I don't think I'm nervous, but I am apprehensive and ready to go out and play." Francis said. "The girls are too."
This weekend's soccer games:
When: Today and Sunday at 2 p.m.
Where: Hummer Sports Park (Topeka)
Opponent: Michigan and Wisconsin
Junior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo, and senior forward Jessica Smith, were named captains for the 2005 season.
"I'm really excited to take on a leadership role as captain," Cauzillo said. "I'm hoping I can be a consistent player for our team and help us be successful."
Cauzillo said this upcoming weekend would not make or break the season, but said she did not want to downplay the importance of the games.
"I think wins will give us a lot of confidence for the rest
of the season," Cauzillo said. "It's not mandatory to win these games, but to get two wins right away at home will give us something to build on."
Kansas is 5-4-1 in season openers. After the Drake match, Smith and freshman forward Sara Rogers are the only Jayhawks with a goal in 2005.
Tonight, the Jayhawks take on a Michigan team fresh off its eighth-straight NCAA tournament appearance, after an 11-9-2 campaign last year.
The last time the two faced off in October of 2003, Kansas won in Ann Arbor, Mich., by a score of 2-1. Senior forward Caroline Smith knocked in both scores to lead the Jayhawks to victory, but said she was humble before facing off against the Wolverines again.
"I don't even know if those results should've been the way they were," Smith said.
Kansas is projected to finish fourth in the conference this season, according to the 2005 Big 12 Preseason Coaches Poll.
Michigan played in two exhibition games and collected victories in both games. On Aug. 16, Michigan defeated fourth ranked Virginia, 2-1, and downed Detroit, 4-1, last Friday.
Michigan is currently ranked fourth in its conference, according to the Big Ten Preseason Poll.

It's year two of the Bill Callahan era at Nebraska and for Cornhusker fans, it's time to win.
Source: www.huskers.com
Nebraska endured a tough first season under Callahan with a 5-6 record. This season, Callahan is more confident heading into the season because his team is more familiar with the offense that he brought from the NFLs Oakland Raiders.
24 41 N
Even though last year's record was not what Callahan wanted, he said his team learned a lot last year, and it would help them this season.
Jerome Kemp, then sophomore safety, takes down Dane Todd, then sophomore fullback, in the third quarter of the last season in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers will make their visit to Lawrence this season November 5.
"The biggest thing that I think we have all taken from our first year at Nebraska as a staff, of course, with the players, is we have learned how to overcome adversity," Callahan said. "It's tough to come into any situation transitionally and all of a sudden try to create trust and try to create instant credibility with your players."
Callahan isn't the only one who thinks this year is going to be more successful. Seppo Ewvaraye, senior offensive tackle, feels more comfortable under the new offense and said he
thinks the offense will be able to score more points and move the ball more efficiently.

"I remember the first year I was with the playbook terminology, and it looked like Hebrew to me and a bunch of other guys," Evwaraye said. "This year it wasn't the same. We remembered a lot of stuff from the season."
It will be the same offense this season as last, but a different quarterback will be taking the snaps.
"I will tell you, Zac has an upper hand predicated on the experience. It is going to be competitive," Callahan said. "For all those guys, it's going to be interesting in terms of their battles."
Callahan has yet to name a starter for Nebraska's opener against Maine. Junior college transfer Zac Taylor is the favorite to win the job and was named the preseason Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year by the media.
The wild card in the quarterback race is freshman Harrison Beck. Beck was highly recruited coming out of high school last season, and was considered the first big recruit signing of Callahan's tenure.
Taylor played his junior college ball at Butler Community College in Kansas, and has impressed coaches since joining the team.
The most stable position on offense will be running back. The Cornhuskers return leading rusher Cory Ross, who ran for 1,102 yards last season and scored six touchdowns. His strongest performance of the year came against Missouri, in which he rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns.
On defense, the biggest unit to replace will be the secondary. The Cornhuskers lost two defensive backs to the NFL, Josh Bullocks and Fabian Washington. The team only returns one starter in the defensive backfield.
The one returning starter is Bullock's twin brother, Daniel. Daniel Bullocks is on a number of award watch lists heading into the season, and Callahan said he was expecting Bullock to be a leader on the
field for the young players.
"We are leaning on his leadership to provide us a catalyst on defense," Callahan said. "He will be spearheading a young secondary. Secondary is where we lost three starters from a year ago, so his leadership, his ability to communicate, put people in the right
spots will be pivotal for us as we begin this season."
Nebraska's first real test of the season will come Sept. 17, against Pittsburgh. Other important games for Nebraska will be Oct. 22 at Missouri and Nov. 5 at Kansas.

Dwight Gooden turns himself in
TAMPA, Fla. - Former baseball star Dwight Gooden turned himself in at a county jailThursday, three days after police said he fled a DUI traffic stop.
Gooden, 40, showed up at the jail warrants facility about 5 p.m., police spokeswoman Laura McEliroy said. He had been missing since early Monday, when an officer pulled over his 2004 BMW near downtown Tampa on suspicion
of drunken driving.
He twice refused to get out of the car for a field sobriety test, then drove away suddenly, police said.
Gooden, who has a history of substance abuse and currently has a domestic violence charge pending in the court, was booked on a felony charge of fleeing police, and misdemeanor charges of DUI and resisting arrest without violence.
He was being held without bondThursday night, McElroy said Gooden is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning for a hearing to revoke his
pond on the March domestic violence charge.
"We're relieved that he has come forward, and this may be the first step toward him getting the help he needs," McElroy said.
Police looking for Gooden had talked to his attorney, Peter Hobson, on Wednesday about the possibility of Gooden surrendering, but he did not indicate if or when it was going to happen, McElroy said.
Hobson contacted the Hillsborough sheriff's office earlier Thursday and made arrangements for Gooden to surrender, sheriff's spokeswoman
Debbie Carter said.
A call to Hobson's Tampa office was not immediately returned.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays manager Lou Piniella said Gooden's situation is sad.
"He needs to get his life in order." Piniella said before Thursday's game against Cleveland. "He's a good young man. He just needs to get his priorities straight. He's got a long life ahead of him and a lot of people that care about him. The only problem is he's got to help himself."

Lance fights back,says he's victim of 'setup'
BY JIM VERTUNO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lance Armstrong suggested Thursday that he's the victim of a "setup," saying he doesn't trust the French lab that released test results leading to blood doping allegations against him.
Armstrong's comments came after Dick Pound, head of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said officials had received the lab results and would review them.
"There's a setup here and I'm stuck in the middle of it." Armstrong told The Associated Press. "I absolutely do not trust that laboratory."
The French sports daily L'Equipe reported Tuesday that six urine samples Armstrong
provided during his first tour win in 1999 tested positive for the red blood cell-booster EPO.
"If he had one, you could say it was an aberration," Pound said. "When you get up to six, there's got to be some explanation."
Armstrong, who retired after his seventh straight win in July, has angrily denied the L'Equipe report. He also said that while Pound might trust the lab that tested the samples, "I certainly don't."
Pound said the lab had asked WADA months ago if the agency was interested in reviewing its findings and that he agreed. He said the agency didn't expect names to be connected to the findings, but only wanted to see
"They said it's simply research." Pound said.
if the leftover samples from 1999 would show riders used EPO.
Pound said he is waiting for WADA Science Director Olivier Rabin to return from Europe to review the results.
The lab report doesn't name Armstrong, but shows the results of tests on anonymous urine samples. While the French newspaper said it was able to match Armstrong to the positive samples, Pound said the lab and WADA officials cannot do that.
The French report appears stronger than previous doping allegations raised against Armstrong, Pound said.
"There been an awful lot of rumor and accusation about him
for a number of years, always of the he-said, she-said variety. This appears — I haven't seen the documents myself — to have some documentary connection. That's a lot more serious. It's got to be taken more seriously," Pound said.
Armstrong and Pound have clashed before on the chairman's comments about athletes who use drugs.
Pound said he was unsure whether WADA would have jurisdiction to take any action against Armstrong if the allegations could be proven. WADA didn't exist until months after the samples were collected in July 1999.
Pound said he was waiting to see if the International Cycling
Union would act on the French report.
Armstrong questions the validity of testing samples frozen six years ago, how those samples were handled since, and how he could be expected to defend himself when the only confirming evidence — the 'A' sample used for the 1999 tests — no longer exists.
He also charged officials at the suburban Paris lab with violating WADA code for failing to safeguard the anonymity of any remaining 'B' samples it had.
Pound said the lab was accredited by the International Olympic Committee and that he trusted it handled the samples properly.
"It's one of the top two or three EPO labs in the world," he said.
"It's a very competent laboratory."
Pound also questioned the need for two samples to confirm a positive test.
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
Armstrong said that contradicts WADA's own drug testing policy.
"You can count on the fingers of one hand the times a B sample has not confirmed the result of the A sample," Pound said. "It's almost always a delaying tactic."

"For the head of the agency to say he actually doesn't believe in the code ... if your career is riding on the line, wouldn't you want a B sample?," Armstrong said. "The French have been after (me) forever, and 'whoops!' there's no B sample? The stakes are too high."

Jumping into the season
Linebackers responsible for team's defensive progress last season
45 5
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
Senior linebackers Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman show off their leaping ability at media day. Reid, Kane and Floodman make up the linebacker core that will be an integral part of a highly touted Kansas defense.
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Led by three seniors, the linebacker corps is looking to pick up where it left off last season and build on the 27 takeaways that led the conference.
If there was one position that helped the Kansas defense improve as drastically as it did last season, it was the linebacker.
that led the Congress to "Now we have to stand up to the hype," senior linebacker Nick Reid said. "We have to go out and prove to everyone that we are good and that we can shunt people down when we need to."
people down The linebackers not only hope to improve on last season's stellar year, but become one of the nation's best defenses.
"Our goal is to go out there every game and pitch a shutout." Reid said. "We want to be the best, not just in the Big 12, but in the nation."
Reid is the most talked-about of the group; he was named to the first All-Big 12 team last year after finishing second in the conference in tackles with 109.
"He's 'Mr. Reliable.' You can count on Nick Reid," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said "He's going to show up
and go to work just like the sun is going to show up every day."
kansas originally recruited Reid as a quarterback, however during his freshman year he started six games at linebacker and he had 62 tackles.

Ile's going to show up and go to work just like the sun is going to show up every day."
During his sophomore season he racked up 133 tackles.
Reid had to have a screw inserted into his foot last year. As a result, he played much of the season injured.
Seniors Banks Floodman and
Mark Mangino Kansas football coach
Kane also had two interceptions and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection last year.
"He is an intelligent, hardnosed football player and gives you 100 percent every snap,"
Mangino said. "I don't remember once ever having to say anything to Kevin about hustling, finishing a play, going to the whistle. He does it all the time."
but he made up for it with his intelligence; Kane was a first team academic All-Big 12 selection last season.
Mangino said Kane was not the fastest player on the field.
tour last season.
“There is something to be said for intellectuals playing football. You can't fool Kevin Kane," Mangino said.
"The reason we've been able to make progress every year is because of team chemistry," Mangino said. "We'll have the best leadership that we've had since I've been here. It's very strong."
The team elected all three seniors as captains for this season, and it the captains' leadership that Mangino believes will drive the team.

season, and junior Eric Washington, a transfer from Minnesota West Community College, are both expected to see time.

"They are doing a great job, we have a great group of guys," Reid said of the younger linebackers. "We really don't fall off that much. If one of us goes down they step up. They are going to be great in the years to come."

Cardinals sink Pirates in 6-3 game
PITTSBURGH — Jim Edmonds and Albert Pujols homered in the first inning to get St. Louis off to its customary fast start in Pittsburgh, and Tony La Russa passed Sparky Anderson to move into third place on the manager wins list in the Cardinals' 6-3 victory on Thursday night.
included series.
Morris (14-5) has more wins in Pittsburgh than some of the Pirates' own pitchers, going 6-0 in seven starts there and 2-0 this season. He lasted seven innings despite allowing two runs and nine hits, stranding five runners from the fifth through the seventh innings and seven overall.
The Pirates have lost 10 of 13 to the Cardinals, helping accelerate La Russa's move up the career victories ladder during a season in which he has passed some of baseball's all-time best; Anderson, Bucky Harris and Joe McCarthy.
Pujols and Edmonds clearly like playing in Pittsburgh, too. Pujols' 35th homer of the season followed four pitches after Edmonds' 22nd to put the Cardinals up 2-0 against Dave Williams (10-10).
La Russa's victory No. 2,195
— he trails only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763)
— was Matt Morris' 101st in the majors, and it came in the home away from home for both the Cardinals and the right-hander.
The Cardinals' 30 victories at 5-year-old PNC Park are the most of any opponent. St. Louis has won 17 of its last 20 in Pittsburgh, including three of four in just-included series.
Pujols' homer was his 16th at PNC — an average of more than three per season and by far by most of any opposing player, while Edmonds' was his ninth there. Pujols, who went 3-for-4 and reached base four times, has 25 homers in 295 career-at-bats
against Pittsburgh.
again. Picture right.
The Pirates, losing their fifth in six games, got a run back in the first on rookie Chris Duffy's triple and Freddy Sanchez's groundout. But Pujols singled in the fifth for his third hit, all off Williams, and scored on John Rodriguez's two-out single. Yadier Molina, who had doubled one batter before, was thrown out at the plate on the play by center fielder Duffy.
play of Molina isn't ready to say goodbye yet to the Pirates, either, going 21-of-50 (420) against them with three homers and 14 RBIs in 13 games. He followed Edmonds' RBI double off Williams in the seventh with a run-scoring single, making it 5-2, and So Taguchi had a run-scoring single in the ninth.
Pittsburgh made it 5-3 in the eighth on Wilson's RBI single off Julian Tavarez, the second of three Cardinals pitchers in the inning, but closer Jason Isringhausen struck out rookie Nate McLouth looking with runners on first and third. Isringhausen finished up in the ninth for his 34th save in 37 opportunities.
Edmonds also played a pivotal role with his glove. The Pirates had threatened by loading the bases in the fifth against Morris, but Edmonds run down Jason Bay's drive to deep center. An inning later, Ty Wigginton singled in a run with his third hit, but Edmonds prevented any further scoring with a sliding catch of Jack Wilson's line drive into the right-center gap with two outs and a runner on.
Notes — Morris has a 2.65 career ERA in Pittsburgh. Pujols started the series 0-for-7, but is hitting .353 (18-of-51) against Pittsburgh this season. ... Morris had been 2-3 with a 5.53 ERA since the All-Star break. ... St. Louis are 40-22 on the road, a better record than all but two NL teams (Atlanta and Houston) have at home.

Sophomore injured at night club fight
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
AND STEVE LYNN
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
Kansas basketball player Rodrick Stewart was injured in one of a series of fights that broke out at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. 6th St. early westerday morning.
Student athletes were involved in breaking up the fights, Tyler Torneden, Abe and Jake's manager, said.
Paramedics responded to a separate medical incident that occurred at the bar.
The bar, which often admits only people age 21 and over, allowed ages 18 and over Saturday night.
"There were multiple fights" about 1:30 a.m., a Lawrence police officer said. "We have one injured and being checked out at the hospital. We had an individual fall from the railing, apparently, and he's injured and at the hospital."
Kansas men's basketball assistant coach Kurtis Townsend went to Lawrence Memorial Hospital because of an involved athlete.
"I know obviously something happened with Rod," Townsend said in reference to sophomore guard Rodrick Stewart. "I wasn't there. I just got the call and came down here."
Townsend was joined at the hospital by Aaron Miles, former Kansas guard, and Moulage Niang, a former basketball player and current student assistant. It was previously reported that sophomore guard Russell Robinson was at the hospital, but he was not.
Torneden said another individual fell from heights near the entrance of the bar.
The individual "was removed from the bar; he was intoxicated," he said. "He came down and it looks as if he tried to sneak into the back door, lost his balance, rolled down, fell off and hit his head."
In the first of two statements released yesterday through media relations director Chris Theisen, Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self said he was "still in a fact-gathering stage."
In a later statement, Bill Self said Stewart was hit in the head with a blunt object when he was attempting to leave the bar.
"All reports we have received indicate Rodrick had no involvement in the altercation other than him being hit over the head while going up the stairs." Self said.
According to Self, Rodrick received four staples at the hospital and was feeling fine yesterday.

Season ticket sales up over last year

Football season ticket sales are up from this point last year, but still are about 1,000 behind the final total from last season
More than 24,000 football season tickets have been sold for this year, less than a week before kick-off of the 2005 season against Florida

Atlantic, said Jim Marchiony associate athletics director for external affairs.
"We want to sell as many tickets as possible," Marchiony said. "Our goal is to sell out
Marchiony said the increase in ticket sales was due to three reasons; excitement about this year's football team, taking special care to give beneficial seating to long-time season ticket holders and the select-a-seat process that was implemented for all season ticket holders in football, and will be applied to basketball as well, starting in October.
"We want to sell as many tickets as possible. Our goal is to sell out the stadium."

Since head coach Mark Mangino arrived in 2002, the Kansas Athletics Department has come closer to its goal of selling out Memorial Stadium, which has a capacity of 50,071.

ATTENDANCE
The average home attendance has increased by nearly 5,000 since the 2002 season.
In 2004, the average home attendance was 41,066, the highest since the 1996 season, which averaged 42,100.
In an effort to keep attendance growing, the corporation plastered its campaign for this season, "Where will you be on game day?" on billboards, posters and in television and radio commercials across the state.
Average game attendance at Memorial Stadium during the tenures of the past three KU coaches:
Capacity: 50,071
♦ Glen Mason: 1988-1996 - 37,516
Mark Mangino: 2002-2005 - 38, 633
- Terry Allen: 1997-2001 - 35, 326
The department also distributed numerous yard signs to business in the Lawrence and surrounding areas for customers to display at home.
Source: Kansas Athletics Department
Ronnie Escobar, Topeka resident, is one person who bought tickets for the first time this season.
"Last year and this year, we worked hard to market in Lawrence, Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita." Marchiony said.
One Lawrence resident decided not to keep his tickets after the department's decision to tie football season tickets to Williams Fund membership.
Escobar said he and his family decided to buy season tickets because he was no longer a football usher and he wanted to continue to be a part of the atmosphere at the games. He ushered for 35 years.
Jon Amyx, owner of Downtown Barber Shop, 824 Massachusetts St., said he's spoken to numerous customers who have dropped their season tickets.
"I know of 20 or so people who have just dropped their football and basketball tickets all together." Amyx said.
Based on the Williams Fund point totals, ticket holders were allowed to pick their seats at the stadium.
Williams Fund members receive points based on donations, season tickets for other sports and alumni association membership.
Amyx said those he spoke to were upset with their parking assignment in the Kansas Union, which prevented them from tailgating and the amount of money they would have to donate to keep their current seats.

Southern states prepare for worst

"Have God on your side, definitely have God on your side," Nancy Noble said as she sat with her puppy and three friends in six lanes of one-way traffic on gridlocked Interstate 10. "It's very frightening."
NEW ORLEANS — A monstrous Hurricane Katrina barreled toward New Orleans on Sunday with 160-mph wind and a threat of a 28-foot storm surge, forcing a mandatory evacuation of the below-sea-level city and prayers for those who remained to face a doomsday scenario.
Katrina intensified into a Category 5 giant over the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico, reaching top winds of 175 mph before weakening slightly on a path to hit New Orleans around sunrise
Monday. That would make it the city's first direct hit in 40 years and the most powerful storm ever to slam the city.
Forecasters warned that Mississippi and Alabama were also in danger because Katrina was such a big storm — with hurricane-force winds extending up to 105 miles from the center. In addition to the winds, the storm packed the potential for a surge of 18 to 28 feet, 30-foot waves and as much as 15 inches of rain.
"The conditions have to be absolutely perfect to have a hurricane become this strong." National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield, noting that Katrina may yet be more powerful than the last Category

Students from New Orleans worry about family back home

Students from New Orleans worried for friends and family yesterday as Hurricane Katrina rolled toward their hometown with wind speeds up to 175 mph that could bring a 28-foot storm surge, according to news reports. A storm surge is the rise in sea level that occurs during a large storm.

"It's hard because I can't be home with them." Febry said. "It's always scary when you hear about these hurricanes, especially because any hurricane 2 or above, if it hits the Mississippi, can flood the city."
DeMarco Smith, New Orleans sophomore, said his relatives boarded up their houses and drove to Houston, while some of his friends joined the thousands of people trying to get inside the Louisiana Superdome for shelter.

The 70,000-seat Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints, is one of 10 emergency shelters the city has designated for residents who don't have the means to leave the city.
"They seemed pretty calm," Smith said. "It's just another hurricane, but this one's a little more damaging. They were just in a hurry to get there."
The National Weather Service upgraded Hurricane Katrina to Category 5 yesterday as it crossed the Gulf of Mexico, meaning its wind speeds exceeded 155 mph. Only three documented Category 5 hurricanes have touched land in the United States, the latest being
The National Hurricane Center called the hurricane "potentially catastrophic" and issued a hurricane warning at 1 p.m. yesterday for New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast, meaning the hurricane was expected reach land within 24 hours.

KU HISTORY aug.29-sept.2

Kansan correspondent
Editor's note: "This Week in KU History" feature documents key events and milestones in the University's history. It will appear every Monday.
Aug. 29, 1883 - KU chancellor resigns
Chancellor James Marvin left the University of Kansas after a "series of controversies." The Kansas Board of Regents accepted his resignation and soon the University chose Joshua Lippincott to replace Marvin as chancellor.
University chose Joshua Lippincott to replace Marvin as. According to the KU History Project's Web site, one of the controversies arose when Marvin, a former Methodist minister, "engineered" the removal of a professor who had supported the campus visit of an outspoken agnostic Robert Ingersoll.
man and a line chancellor during his nine years of service. During his time at the University, Marvin managed to extract state funding for what would become Old Fraser Hall, despite a strained budget. The university also established more electives for students, although specific majors and minors would not appear until 1887.
The Hiawatha Messenger reported in 1883 that the chancellor had resigned "on account of some difficulty he had with certain members of the Board of Regents." The newspaper did not provide further elaboration.
Aug. 31, 1959 - No faculty salaries too high.
J. E. Challinor, then the accountant of the state of Kansas, accused the University of overpaying its faculty. He said the University was hoping to compete nationally with Harvard and Yale by raising salaries, which at that time were less than $1,500 a year.
The Kansas University Weekly, at the time, responded with a blistering commentary about Challino's "airy assertions" on Sept. 6, 1895: "He chooses to sneer at the regents and chancellor for 'competing against Harvard and Yale,' but he has not taken the trouble to learn that those institutions expend four or five times as much money for each student as does our own University."
Aug. 31, 1895 - KU faculty salaries too high?
The newspaper articles during that time overwhelmingly supported the chancellor over the board. One article, written July 5, condemned, "these snarling criticisms, this mean opposition and these political contentions," that apparently cost the University's fourth chancellor his position. Other articles praised him as a good man and a fine chancellor during his nine years of service.
Lippincott replaced Marvin as chancellor from 1883 to 1889. Marvin remained in Lawrence and was later appointed the first superintendent of the Haskell Industrial Indian School in 1901.
money for each student as does our own University.
To give some context, Kansas had suffered from a financial panic in 1893. In his book "The University of Kansas: A History," Clifford Griffin wrote that a long recession followed, and in 1897, the University did reduced all of its employees' salaries.
Sept. 1, 1914 - Ralph H. Major comes to the University
If you suffer from diabetes or know someone who does, you could owe more to Ralph H. Major than you realize.
Major joined the University's 9-year-old School of Medicine as chairman and professor of the department of pathology.
As professor and chairman of the department of internal medicine nine years later, Major initiated the first clinical trials of injecting insulin into diabetic patients who lived in the Kansas City area. The first diabetic treated had been in a terminal coma on Jan. 13, 1923. He revived and enjoyed a return to normal blood-sugar levels less than four days later.
Cheered by the results, Major wrote a paper called "The Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus with Insulin." It became part of the Journal of the American Medical Association's first report concerning insulin.
All this might never have happened if Major had not left San Francisco for Kansas City, a move that some of his contemporaries considered "crazy." While he was a pathology instructor at Stanford University, he received a letter from Mervin Sudler, then associate dean of the KU School of Medicine. Sudler offered him a position not only as a full professor, but also as the chairman of the pathology department.
Major accepted the position, although he would later describe his new headquarters at the University as "really depressing." In his words, a profusion of "broken test tubes, dried-up specimens [and] waste paper" littered the building along with "rubbish which had accumulated on the floor in heaps." For a time, Major and his student assisted act as interim custodians for the pathology department.
Major's other accomplishments were by no means minor. During his more than 50 years at the University, Major wrote 10 books and contributed to the school's growing reputation. Before he arrived at the University, he graduated from William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo., at age 17 with a liberal arts degree. He also played the violin and piano, studied linguistics and mastered five foreign languages: German, Greek, Latin, Spanish and French.

2 burglaries hit lot 90
Students want cameras after week of crime

The KU Public Safety Office and Student Senate have been working to increase safety on campus.
The office and one of the students whose car was burglared said security cameras would help curb theft and
cameras.
The burglaries involved more than $1,000 in damage and valuables stolen from two KU students' vehicles. Both occurred Aug. 23 between 2 p.m. and 5:25 p.m.
Students reported two auto bunglaries and one hit-and-run accident last week in lot 90, south of Robinson Center. Officials said there were no immediate plans to install cameras.
criminal damage.
Emily Putbrese, Grand Forks, N.D., senior, said either police should patrol the area more often or more cameras would be needed in parking lots. Putbrese reported $253 in valuables stolen and $300 in window damage.
"It was all of my stuff. I had no form of money for like three days." Putrese said.
The accident where an unidentified vehicle struck the front bumper of a Mazda MX-6 occurred Aug. 24 sometime between 7:45 p.m. and 9:45 p.m.
Chief Ralph Oliver of the KU Public Safety Office said there were no plans to install cameras in lot 90 because of a limited budget. But he said he thought there should be a camera in every lot.
camera is always. "We can't afford to put all cameras in at one time," he said. "If cameras were positioned in every parking lot, it would have cost well over $1 million," Oliver said.
The office placed emphasis to install cameras in residence hall parking lots because crimes against people take priority over property theft and damage. Oliver said.
Most of the cameras cover parking lots, Oliver said.
and a few additional projects, he said. The public safety office worked to generate the funding for the cameras, he said
The installation of additional cameras also would not be on the agenda when the Student Senate's Campus Safety Advisory Board meets for the first time next week, said Jason Boots, board member and Plano, Texas, senior.
Networking and Telecommunications Systems began equipping Daisy Hill, Jayhawker Towers, GSP-Corbin Hall and the Lied Center with cameras in the beginning of July, in phase one of the two-phase project. Cameras already located at Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium were upgraded, Oliver said.
Instead of allocating funding for additional cameras, Student Senate plans to increase funding for the Jaywalk program with some of its $90,000 budget, Boots said. Jaywalk is a service for students on campus who prefer to walk home or to their car with another student at night for safety reasons.
The University of Kansas will match funds for Jaywalk
Phase-two cameras will be installed as funding becomes available.
Cameras outside the Kansas Union, Watson Library and the Student Recreation Fitness Center will be installed in phase two of the project.
The University provided $280,000 for the project, and the Department of Homeland Security provided $150,000.

Music awards avoids disaster
MIAMI — MTV dodged two major disasters — one from nature, the other man-made — as the Video Music Awards kicked off yesterday with flashy performances and over-the-top entrances.
The annual bash was briefly overshadowed by
Hurricane Katrina, which hit southern Florida on Thursday and killed several people. As the storm passed, a celebratory mood took over the city
until early yesterday morning, when rap mogul Suge Knight was targeted by gunfire at a Kanye West party.
But MTV vowed that neither event would affect the ceremonies, and judging from the glitzy pre-
show festivities, the party was in full swing.
The prison-bound Lt Kim arrived on the white carpet in a Rolls Royce Phantom, though she looked somewhat demure in her low-cut mauve dress — no pasties or dangling appendages this year from the diminutive rapper.
"I might show some leg," teased the star, who is due to start serving a
year-and-a-day sentence in September on a perjury charge. When MTV personality Sway delicately asked if she had anything to say to fans who "might not see you for a while." Lil Kim said: "You can write me letters."
The show was hosted by Diddy (the artist formerly known as Puff, P. Diddy and Puff Daddy)

Digital textbooks offer savings
BY JOHN JORDAN

Three classes this semester have started using online versions of textbooks as a cheaper alternative to traditional textbooks. Students have mixed reactions about the online versions' value.

Principles of Macroeconomics, Principles of Microeconomics and Principles of Physical Geography now use a digital textbook, although students can still buy the regular textbook. Students purchase an online registration number and then are able to download the digital version onto their computer.
day
Bill Madl, Jayhawk Bookstore
textbook manager, said not purchasing the textbook saves about one-third of textbook costs. Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, sells a bundle with the textbook and registration for the online version for macro- and microeconomics for $96, while the online version costs $68 by itself
For geography, the prices are $105 for the physical book and $52 for the online version.
Madl said some students who purchased the online version came back to buy the physical textbook. Students like the flexibility of having the traditional book, Madl said. Students can flip through the book, make notes, highlight and don't need to be at a computer to read the
text.
Neal Becker, assistant professor of economics, is using the online text for the first time for his macroeconomics class. He said the online text can be inconvenient because it has to be downloaded to a computer.
Becker said publishers can use the online versions as a barrier to the used textbook market, because students can't sell back the digital book. The publisher can make students buy new registration numbers each semester.
An advantage is the registration number also gives student access to online practice exercises and homework assignments, which are automatically graded, Becker said.
Students get immediate feedback on practice problems, and teaching assistants don't need to grade the online assignments, Becker said.
"It gives us a lot of flexibility." Becker said.
Madl said publishers would produce more online versions as technology improves. But students have mixed opinions about the online versions' usefulness.
Steven Griswold, Forsyth, Ill., freshman, bought the textbook along with the online version. He said he wanted the book because he didn't have his own computer. Even though buying the text was more costly, he said having the actual book
was worth it.
was worth it. Ryan Kusmin, Leawood junior, bought both the print version and the online registration for his microeconomics class.
Kusmin said he bought his textbook at www.hal.com, an online bookstore, but he had to buy the online registration later. He said he spent $10 more than if he had purchased the bundle.
Cooper Martin. Olathe senior, bought only the online version. He said the price was the reason he didn't buy the book.
"The cheapest way to do it is all online," Martin said. "Buying the book would be a waste of money."

Local bookstores lure students Professors choose independent stores for class books
Todd Wilkins, Lawrence sophomore and Raven Bookstore employee, sorts a books on a shelf yesterday afternoon. Raven, 8 E.7th St., sells books of numerous genres, but emphasizes mysteries and works about regional history.

A handful of professors are encouraging their students to purchase books from independent bookstores instead of larger, more well-known textbook distributors.
Instead of shopping at the KU Bookstores in the Kansas Union or another store that relies primarily on textbook sales, students are checking in to smaller shops in order to find their books.
Jon Swindell, professor of design, ordered books through Raven Bookstore, 8 E. 7th St. He said he enjoyed sending his students to the more intimate environment Raven provided.
"It's one way for me to get my students into an environment that I think is more about artful conversations and gets them into an environment with real literature
"It does bring students downtown who would only come to get a pizza or a beer."

as opposed to sending them to a more commercial venue," Swindell said.
earlv.
"They should overorder if they do local bookstores because they don't have the same ability to reorder as quickly," Mueting said.
Sarah Mueting, Lenexa junior, is taking one of Lecturer Chris White's Latin American history classes this semester. White used Raven to order some of his books. Mueting said she agreed with the use of local bookstores, but said there were some downsides. Some of the books she needed were unavailable, however, because the store sold out
Also challenging is selling books back at the end of the semester. Because the larger bookstores don't stock the books, they don't purchase them back at the end of the year. The independent bookstores don't typically buy books back either.
Pat Kehdes, co-owner of Raven, said she appreciated professors helping students understand it made a difference where their money went.
Keendes also noted that students who venture downtown to buy books would see what else Lawrence's downtown had to offer.
"It does bring students downtown who would only come to get a pizza or a beer." Kehdes said.
Local bookstores also appreciated the extra business generated because students provide a sale they may otherwise not have, Kehdes said.
snannon Jones, manager of The Dusty Bookshelf, 708 Massachusetts St., said the store did not order books specifically for professors. Often though, professors often refer students to The Dusty Bookshelf in order to find texts, especially for western civilization or English courses, Jones said. The Dusty Bookshelf is primarily a used bookstore, and Jones thought there were enough venues offering textbooks already.
"The market is pretty saturated for that. It's a space issue. We already have books overflowing onto the floor," Jones said.

ON THE RECORD
Three 21-year-old KU students reported an assault on a 54-year-old between 11 p.m. Aug. 21 and midnight Aug. 22 on the 900 block of Emery Road.
- A 41-year-old KU student reported a $35 black wallet, $20 in cash and a drivers license worth $10 stolen sometime between 11 p.m. Aug. 23 and 1 a.m. Aug. 24 in Anschutz Library.
CLARIFICATION
An article in Friday's University Daily Kansan needs clarification. The article, "Credit card hoax ended," described the action of two employees of Elite Marketing Group as a hoax and fraud. The employees, who gave coupons for free pizza to students in exchange for their Social Security number, mother's maiden name, address and phone number, were legitimately hired by Commerce Bank, N.E. The two employees were later fired for not complying with the bank's set regulations.
NATION 14-year-old gives birth to daughter
LINCOLN, Neb. — A 14-year-old girl whose 22-year-old husband is charged with sexually assaulting a minor has given birth to their daughter, and the man said he plans to plead not guilty in the case.
The girl became pregnant when she was 13, and her mother gave permission in May for Matthew Koso to take her daughter to Kansas to marry.
Nebraska requires people to be at least 17 before they can marry. But Kansas does not have a minimum age as long as both parents or guardians approve or the marriage is approved by a judge, said a spokesman for Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline.

Chapters teach social lessons
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
New members of the greek community gave up their Saturday afternoon to learn more about their organization and to get acquainted with members outside their chapter.
Fraternity and sorority members gathered in the Kansas Union Ballroom to take part in the annual lessons of "Greek Life 101." The meeting provided an overview of greek life and stressed the importance of the new members' role, said Lauren Harjung, Leawood junior and vice president for scholarship and educational programming for the Panhellenic Association.
"Members can understand that they are a part of something larger than just their own chapter," Harjung said. "They are very much involved in the entire Greek community."
greek community Current members were in attendance to talk about the standards and goals set by the community.Members highlighted the four pillars of the greek community: leadership, service, scholarship and brotherhood and sisterhood. Members also provided ways for new members to get involved in the community.
Each of the 32 fraternities and sororites had at least one representative present at the event.
For the new members that entered their first year of college, the session was especially valuable as all the new members in attendance got acquainted.
The transition from high school to college can be tough, said Harjung. But building relationships outside of their chapters helps them make the transition that much easier.
"I think it's beneficial to get introduced to as many people as you can in a very constructive way." Harjung said.
Brad Stephenson, Leawood freshman and member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, 1645 Tennessee St., said the event was a productive way to gain a better understanding of other chapters as well as meeting other people.
The program was a way to get to meet new faces and teach them the lessons of the greek organization, said Corey Bruce, Leawood junior and member of Phi Kappa Psi, 1602 W. 15th St.
Having all the new members together was also a benefit for current members who helped facilitate the event.
The group also received advice from guest speaker, Lori Hart Ebert, who is the director of alcohol education for Pi Kappa Phi, 1537 Tennessee St.
She spoke about how members are the ones who decide what their experience will be like and how they can get the most out of their involvement in the organization.
"Make the right choices in this organization and they will experience great things," she said.

5 storm, 1992's Hurricane Andrew, which at 165 mph leveled parts of South Florida, killed 43 people and caused $31 billion in damage.
"It's capable of causing catastrophic damage," Mayfield said. "Even well-built structures will have tremendous damage. Of course, what we're really worried about is the loss of lives."
By evening, the first squalls, driving rains and lightning began hitting New Orleans. A grim Mayor C. Ray Nagin earlier ordered the mandatory evacuation for his city of 485,000 people, conceding Katrina's storm surge pushing up the Mississippi River would swamp the city's system of levees, flooding the bowl-shaped city and causing potentially months of misery.
"We are facing a storm that most of us have long feared," he said. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime event."
Conceding that as many as 100,000 inner-city residents didn't have the means to leave and an untold number of tourists were stranded by the closing of the airport, the city arranged buses to take people to 10 shelters, including the Superdome.
Nagin also dispatched police and firefighters to rouse people with sirens and bullhorns, and gave them the authority to commandeer vehicles.
For years, forecasters have warned of the nightmare flooding a big storm could bring to New Orleans, a bowl-shaped city bounded by the half-mile-wide Mississippi River and massive Lake Pontchartrain. As much as 10 feet below sea level in spots, the city is at the mercy of a network of levees, canals
Scientists predicted Katrina could easily overtake that levee system, swamping the city under a 30-feet cesspool of toxic chemicals, human waste and even coffins.
and pumps to keep dry.
"All indications are that this is absolutely worst-case scenario," Ivor van Heerden, deputy director of the Louisiana State University Hurricane Center, said Sunday afternoon.
Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard said some who have ridden out previous storms in the New Orleans area may not be so lucky this time.
Katrina was a Category 1 storm with 80-mph wind when it hit South Florida with a soggy punch Thursday that flooded neighborhoods and left nine people dead. It reformed rapidly as it moved out over the warm waters of the Gulf Mexico.
"I'm expecting that some people who are die-hards will die hard," he said.
By 8 p.m. EDT, Katrina's eye was about 130 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. The storm was moving toward the northwest at nearly 11 mph and was expected to turn toward the north. A hurricane warning was in effect for the north-central Gulf Coast from Morgan City, La., to the Alabama-Florida line.
"We're not evacuating," said 57-year-old Julie Paul. "None of us have any place to go. We're counting on the Superdome. That's our lifesaver."
Despite the dire predictions, a group of residents in a poor neighborhood of central New Orleans sat on a porch with no car, no way out and no fear.

Iraqi constitution finished despite Sunni Arab objections
BY ROBERT H. REID THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraqi negotiators finished the new constitution yesterday and referred it to the voters but without the endorsement of Sunni Arabs, a major setback for the U.S. strategy to lure Sunnis away from the insurgency and hasten the day U.S. troops can go home.
The absence of Sunni Arab endorsement, after more than two months of intensive negotiations, raised fears of more violence and set the stage for a bitter political fight ahead of an Oct. 15 nationwide referendum on the document.
ened to sharpen communal divisions at a time when relations among Shiites, Sunni Arabs and Kurds appear to be worsening.
A political battle along religious and ethnic lines threat-
Sunni negotiators delivered their rejection shortly after the draft was submitted to parliament They branded the final version as "illegitimate" and asked the Arab League, United Nations and "international organizations" to intervene.
Intervention is unlikely, however, and no further amendments to the draft are possible under the law, said a legal expert on the drafting committee, Hussein Addab.
"I think if this constitution passes as it is, it will worsen everything in the country," said Saleh al-Mutlaq, a Sunni negotiator.

ACTIVISM
Phelps protests at Tenn. funeral
BY BETH RUCKER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The church members were met with scorn from local residents. They chased the church members' cars down a highway, waving flags and screaming "God bless America."
SMYRNA, Tenn. — Members of a church say God is punishing American soldiers for defending a country that harbors gays, and they brought their anti-gay message to the funerals Saturday of two Tennessee soldiers killed in Iraq.
"My husband is over there, so I'm here to show my support," 41-year-old Connie Ditmore said as she waved an American flag and as tears came to her eyes. "To do this at a funeral is disrespectful of a family, no matter what your beliefs are."
The Rev. Fred Phelps, founder of Westboro Baptist Church, in Topeka, contends that American soldiers are being killed in Iraq as vengeance from God for protecting a country that harbors gays. The church, which is not affiliated with a larger denomination, is made up mostly of Phelps' children, grandchildren and in-laws.
The church members carried signs and shouted things such as "God hates fags" and "God hates you."
About 10 church members protested near Smyrna United Methodist Church and nearly 20 stood outside the National Guard Armory in Ashland City Members have demonstrated at other soldier funerals across the nation.
The funerals were for Staff Sgt. Asbury Fred Hawn II, 35, in Smyrna and Spc. Gary Reese Jr., 22, in Ashland City. Both were members of the Tennessee National Guard.
Hundreds of Smyrna and Ashland City residents and families of other soldiers turned out at both sites to counter the message the Westboro Baptist members brought.
So many counterdemonstrators were gathered in Ashland City that police, sheriff's deputies and state troopers were brought in to control traffic and protect the protesters.
The church members held protesting permits, and counterprotesters in Smyrna turned their backs to Westboro Baptist members until time expired on the protest permits.
"If they were protesting the government, I might even join them," Danny Cotton, 56, said amid cries of "get out of our town" and "get out of our country."
"But for them to come during the worst time for this family — it's just wrong."

K-State receives gift from teachers
MANHATTAN — Kansas State University has received a gift of more than $1.7 million from the estates of two former teachers, a brother and sister who were graduates of the school.
The bequests by Lillian J. Brycha, who died in 1992, and Edwin G. Brycha, who died in 2004, were announced last week.
They both graduated from Kansas State in 1931.
Part of the gift, $1 million, will endow a faculty chair in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The remaining $736,000 will be used for scholarships.
"It's a significant gift and a great gift to K-State from a great family", said Pat Bosco, the university's associate vice president for institutional advancement. "It responds to our greatest need at the university

To New Yorkers: nothing's the matter with Kansas
PAGE 6A
The Wizard of Oz. Tornadoes.
Kansas City.
Those foreign to Kansas, or even the Midwest, hold a stereotypical view of our great Sunflower state that can be both narrow and ignorant. That doesn't mean they aren't willing to learn about the great abyss between Los Angeles and New York City.
This past summer, I lived in New York City as part of a public relations internship. I rode the subway from the Lower East Side to Times Square three days a week to work for a company promoting Broadway shows. Because my internship was unpaid, I also waitressed at a small restaurant in the Lower East Side, Grilled Cheese NYC. Both of these experiences allowed me to live like a genuine New Yorker. Whether it was putting on a professional voice to deal with publications like The New York Times, or making a grilled cheese sandwich dripping with fixings for Lower East Siders, I

came to learn more about myself, New York and the way those on the East coast perceive Kansas and the Midwest in general.
Some may think living in New York is moving on to bigger things, but in reality, it's not better, it's just different. I have lived in that surreal concrete jungle for the last two summers, and while I love it with all my heart, there is a strong part of me that cannot wait to return to my life in Lawrence and Kansas in general. The more time I spend away from the Midwest, the more grateful I am that I was raised here. It is here that I have
been greeted in the morning by a gentle breeze of fresh cut grass and honeysuckle, devoid of any hints of trash. I can stroll carefree by myself down Massachusetts Street without making sure I bring mace. I have seen a sunset fading red to purple to orange, bursting at the edge of the earth with a brilliant pink-yellow hue.
My New York co-workers sometimes would ask me about Kansas, this strange Land of Oz. What happens there? Is it really just all farmland? is cow tipping the main form of entertainment? I was always more than happy to speak proudly of my home state
and clarify any misconceptions. After all, why would I dare to trash the state that had made me the wholesome, midwestern girl that I am?
The Midwest is greatly underated. We have some of the best beef and freshest produce there is. We have county fairs and the Future Farmers of America. Things that coastal cities may see as trite or behind the times are actual wonderful characteristics that set us apart from the overzealous life in the fast lane. Being from the Midwest may give you a sheltered view of the world, but only if you allow yourself to be close-minded. Midwesterners are a strong breed, capable of thriving in any situation. We have a good idea of who we are and what we stand for, a great combination for fearlessly taking the world on. People are just people, no matter where you go, and they all have a fascinating story or two to share. Experience other cultures, inside and outside of the U.S., but never forget how hard Dorothy fought to get back to Kansas, because "there's no place like home."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Garlick's column belligerent, wrong
As an expression of contempt for opponents of "Native American mascots," Sara Garlick's Aug. 19 column succeeds. As an argument, the column fails.
Garlick doesn't prove what her title claims, "Ban criteria largely flawed," because she gives no information about those criteria other than quoting the words "hostile" and "abusive." Those words describe Garlick's tone: the policy is "a waste of time for pretty much everyone involved...more important stories are out there." We don't learn what Garlick's
criteria for importance are, or how she earned the credibility to speak for so many people.
Garlick uses a "slippery slope" approach, which keeps her from having to refute the ban criteria she didn't provide in the first place. If Garlick wants people to agree that eliminating Native American mascots leads inevitably to results she describes, she must provide evidence. Instead, she spins absurd scenarios to trivialize the NCAA policy.
Garlick's conclusion is not just unsupported, it is laughable. She claims that schools
with Native American mascots do "tribes" a favor by keeping their traditions alive for students who wouldn't have known of the tribes' existence without a "liaison" service.
Because this issue is such a time waster, perhaps Garlick should investigate the "important story" of why some people only care about "Indians" in terms of their presence, or nonpresence, as sports mascots.

GOOD TO GO
Minority rights fan pans ban
I want to tell you about a friend of mine. His name is Timothy. Tim attends Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. He's an engineering student and loves to tell people that the "Timmy!" gag on South Park is based on him.
Tim's a huge fan of football and the past few years have been pretty kind to him and his Tigers, but the only thing Tim ever wants to talk about is Florida State. You see, Tim is a member of the Seminole tribe from which FSU's mascot takes its name.
By now, I am sure that everyone is somewhat familiar with the NCAA's recent ban on the use of Indian mascots by universities. Advocates of minority and multicultural rights have long sought action that would prevent the use of mascots the NCAA deems "hostile" or "abusive," and the NCAA has received much praise for its actions along with the expected criticism.
Tragedy struck last week. On Wednesday, the NCAA overturned its ban on Florida State's mascot, reasoning that members of the Seminole tribe had a working relationship with the university.
Of course, FSU president T.K. Wetherell also threatened a lawsuit if the ban was not overturned. Let me repeat the important part of that sentence: the ban was dropped because the university threatened to sue.
Is this what our nation has come to? We'll appease all those we can, as long as we don't get sued? The NCAA's overturning of its own ban is ridiculous.
RYAN GOOD

The NCAA has been quick to emphasize that the ban was lifted because of FSU's working relationship with the Seminole tribe. This is ludicrous. The United States of America has a "working" relationship with North Korea, so should we simply stop paying any attention to Kim
Proponents of Florida State's right to use the Seminole as a mascot have also jumped on this bandwagon. I seriously doubt, however, that any of these proponents have spoken with anyone associated with the Seminoles, or that they could even tell you one legitimate thing about the tribe.
After conversing with Tim, I can say that this is not a universally popular move within the tribe,

How would you feel if someone told you that you were no different from a tiger or a bulldog or a wolverine? "
Take a step back and think
about this issue. It makes sense that Seminoles would be appalled by this action.
Another argument that supporters of Indian mascots use is the idea of historic context. The Seminole tribe is located in Florida, and thus it is logical to pay homage to them as mascots. I would have no problem with this argument if it was universally followed. As soon as the University of
Most college mascots are animals, both real and mythical. The largest exception to this rule is the use of Indian mascots. These people are essentially being equated with animals. How would you feel if someone told you that you were no different from a tiger or a bulldog or a wolverine?

Alabama-Birmingham adopts "the Klan" as its mascot, I'll acquiesce to this argument's validity.
The NCAA's reversal of their ban is quite possibly this country's most tragic disaster since 9/11. Not only is this an issue that has a large emotional and psychological impact on members of the Seminole nation, but it also affects our nation as a whole.
I realize that my relationship with individuals such as Tim makes me more sensitive to this issue. Nonetheless, this is an issue of which everyone should make themselves aware.
Most of us are at least vaguely aware of the atrocities the American government has historically committed against Native Americans; to this day it remains the poorest ethnic group in the country, by a significant margin. Allowing universities such as Florida State to continue their offensive use of Indian mascots is outrageous.
In my mind, there is no difference between the FSU Seminoles and the UAB Klan. Many African-Americans have been killed in Alabama, one of the most horrifying examples being the church bombing in Birmingham a few decades ago. What better way to preserve the memory of these unfortunate victims than by the renaming of a state university's mascot?
By repealing its ban, the NCAA has spit in the face of the Seminole nation, the larger community of Native Americans, and the country as a whole.
Once again, this is ludicrous. I'd like to state in writing that I would never support such a plan as I have just lain out, and for the same reasons cannot support any school's use of an Indian mascot.

Iowa State was the surprise of the Big 12 Conference last year, taking advantage of a weak division to earn a piece of the Big 12 North crown.

Last season, the Cyclones were picked to finish near the bottom of the conference. They hadn't captured a football trophy since 1912.

This season, Iowa State coach Dan McCarney said he was hopeful the Cyclones would continue to improve.
"We have rewritten the history books at Iowa State." McCarney said. "We have done things the school and program has never done in football, and yet we have
lots and lots of room to improve."
Iowa State finished the season winning five of its last six games, including a victory against Miami of Ohio in the Independence Bowl. The only game the Cyclones dropped during that stretch was a 17-14 match against Missouri.
A victory in that game would have given the Cyclones sole possession of the Big 12 North division, and would have sent

er Jayhawks tallied three kills each. Alabama was betrayed by a .13 i attack percentage.
"I was disappointed with how we played in most of game two and all of game three," Bechard said.
He said Kansas had some things it needed to straighten out before heading to Provo, Utah, next weekend for the BYU/Utah Valley State Challenge.
"We had a few too many hitting errors," Bechard said of the Jayhawks' 21 miscues. "Overall, though, we identified a lot of things that we can continue to work on."
Correa, whose hard spike ended the match, said the team was happy with the way the season has begun.
Correa said the Jayhawks know what they need to do before they see tougher competition next weekend.
"The main focus is passing and defense," Correa said. "When we play BYU, a top 25 team, they're going to hit pretty hard."
Kansas sweeps Alabama
The Kansas volleyball team started its season with a bang on Friday with a sweep of Alabama at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

point to. Beachard said he was happy with his players' resilience after the disputed point put them in a hole.
"The whistle didn't blow, so there's no reason we should have stopped," Bechard said. "But it was good how we fought back."
The Jayhawks wrapped up the match in game three. Sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown served Kansas to an early 10-5 lead. The Jayhawks never looked back and won the game, 30-22.
Lima said she was pleased with Kansas's effort.
"Alabama is a very good defensive team, but we were ready for them," she said.
Noyes was another bright spot for the Jayhawks. She started in her first collegiate match and had nine kills at a .444 attack percentage.
She said she felt more comfortable in her role after getting a match under her belt.
Kansas won its season opener for the eighth straight season. The streak began when Bechard took over before the 1998 season.

Senior forward Caroline Smith scored the first goal of the game, putting the Jayhawks up in the 12th minute of the contest.

After a quick steal, Alvarez took off down the field before firing in a goal from almost 20 yards out. The score tied the game at two and sent the Jayhawks into temporary celebration.
"I was so excited, my teammates were excited and I think that we kind of got back into a momentum for a while." Alvarez said.
Although Kansas fell to 0-1-1, the team maintains a positive outlook for the season. The team will match up against Missouri State in Lawrence on Wednesday.
"You're going to make mistakes, but we learn from them," Francis said. "If we make the same mistakes on Wednesday, then we have issues."
Francis said he was pleased with how well the team kept and handled the ball. He said that their combinations also continue to improve.

Jayhawks flock for food
Ky
The women's basketball team lines up for food Saturday at its annual welcome-back picnic at Centennial Park, Sixth Street and Rockledge Road. Fans, family and friends enjoyed food and games as welcomed the new and returning players.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SONOMA, Calif. — Tony Kanaan took advantage of teammate Dan Wheldon's misfortune to move into the lead, then ran away from the rest of the field to win the Argent Mortgage Indy Grand Prix at Infineon Raceway.
It was Wheldon's broken fuel pump that allowed Kanaan to take the lead on the 53rd of 80 laps.
Kanaan wins first road race
"I have had bad days and he capitalized a lot on them," Kanaan said of Wheldon, the IndyCar points leader.
IRL
"I think we raced pretty
maybe points Kanaan averaged 91.040 mph around Infineon's 12-turn, 2.26-mile track in the first IRL race held on a road course.
STUFF
smart. I know I'm going to have to win every race the rest of this year to win the championship," Kanhe said.
A 19th-lap crash took out the two fastest qualifiers as Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe were attempting to pass rookie Danica Patrick.
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
Red Bull Cheever Racing teammates Alex Barron and Patrick Carpenter finished third and fourth, 1.854 seconds and 2.664 seconds, respectively, behind Kanaan.

Barmann leads quarterbacks

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Although Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has not named a starter for this Saturday's game against Florida Atlantic, all signs are pointing to junior Adam Barmann.

Barmann started the first eight games last season, before suffering an apparent shoulder injury against Iowa State, ending his season. Barmann has since worked with the first team throughout spring practices and training camp.

"Adam Barmann has picked up some ground coming out of the summer program. He's probably the most prepared of our veteran quarterbacks," Mangino said. "He still has to continue to improve to win the job."
At the team's annual media day on Aug. 11, Barmann was asked if the starting quarterback job was his. He confidently answered "yeah."
He passed for 1,427 yards with 12 touchdowns over nine interceptions.
Pushing Barmann is senior Brian Luke.
Luke led the team to victory over Missouri last season, yet was listed behind Barmann and senior Jason Swanson on the depth chart when spring practices ended in April.
Since then, Luke went to Mangino and told him he wanted to be the starting quarterback.
"I made it clear that I do not want to be the back-up, that I want to be the starter," Luke
said. "But should I be the backup I will do that with 100 percent pride."
Mangino appreciated Luke talking to him in his office, rather than hearing it from another coach, Luke said.
"I am as confident as I have ever been. I know the offense better than I ever have before," Luke said. "I am definitely looking forward to this season."

Luke saw action in three games last year and his pass-efficiency rating was the highest of any of the team's quarterbacks. He passed for 467 yards and three touchdowns.

Luke also nearly led Kansas to a victory over Texas, the week before the Missouri contest.
"Brian Luke is a very good player who has a great command of the offense," Barmann said. "We have a lot of very good players at the quarterback position and it will make all of us better."
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier is also still in the mix for the job. Mangino said.
"The young guy, Kerry Meier, each and every day he learns more and more about our offense," Mangino said. "You can see he's an awfully talented guy."
Mangino hasn't said whether Meier wouldn't receive a redshirt this season.
Senior quarterback Jason Swanson, who threw the goahead touchdown against Kansas State last season, apparently is not in the race for the starting job.
"Swanson's been slowed down. He doesn't take many repetitions and has lost a lot of
Junior Adam Barmann is the front-runner for the starting quarterback position. Freshman Kerry Meier and seniors Brian Luke and Jason Swanson are also vying for playing time at quarterback.
Whoever wins the quarterback job will lead an offense that struggled at times last season moving the ball downfield as it averaged just over 300 yards of total offense per game.
ground consequently," Mangino said. "He's got a long way to go to get himself back in the race."
Barmann said that going against one of the Big 12 Conference's top defenses in practice has helped the quarterbacks' progress this offseason.
"Those guys fly around and they have playmakers. To go against every day is a tremendous help to our offense," Barmann said.

NEW YORK Women's tennis and the NFL have one thing in common: injuries galore.
Tennis seems a tame game compared with football's violence, but there's no shortage of aches among the women trooping into the U.S. Open today with their bandages and painkillers, physical therapists and chiropractors.

Kim Clijsters, one of the few top players completely healthy at the moment, has been sizzling this summer and is favored to win her first Grand Slam championship after racking up his tour-leading sixth title. She's rated a better bet than No. 1 seed Maria Sharapova (returning from a strained chest muscle) and the woman set to reclaim the No. 1 spot in the WTA Tour rankings today, Lindsay Davenport (returning from a back injury).
problem last year was a torn tendon in her left wrist, which led to surgery and cost her most of the season, as well as the start of this year. She made a strong comeback when she returned to the tour in February, despite a knee injury in May.
"I know how my body is feeling now and that, for me, is the main reason," Cliisters said of her thoughts of retirement. "For the next two years ... I'll just have to look after my body, make sure I have massages every day, do my knee exercises, my shoulder exercises and my core exercises. There's so much. I need to do all those things if I want to be able to play as well as I have been. That's why, after the U.S. Open, I'm going to have a long break ... just to make sure that everything is right again and that I recover well."
Yet Clijsters, all of 22, spoke yesterday of retiring in two years because of the toll tennis has taken on her body. She's weary of injuries and worried about how they will affect her life away from tennis in the future.
Davenport;29,spoke last year about retiring. She, too, was having enough of foot and back injuries, among others, along with repeated rehabs. But she got a second wind in her career, finished last year No.1 and has occupied the top spot most of this year, albeit without winning a Grand Slam title since the Australian in 2000.

Mangino suspends fullback while incident is investigated
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino indefinitely suspended sophomore fullback Bruce Ringwood on Friday afternoon. Ringwood was arrested Aug. 21 for two counts of assault.
"I have suspended Bruce until we gather all the facts related to this incident." Mangino said. "I'm disturbed that one of our players would be involved in something like this. We have high standards of conduct that we expect from our student athletes. This behavior goes against everything we stand for at the University of Kansas."

Kansas outmatched the University of Missouri Kansas City Saturday night in the finale of the State Farm Jayhawk Classic, winning 3-0 for its second straight victory.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he was pleased with the initial performance of his team.
The Jayhawks jumped all over the Kangaroo in game one. They quickly led 17-6 en route to a 30-18 blowout. Kansas topped a gaudy .542 attack percentage in a balanced effort at the net. UMKC, in contrast, had eight errors against six kills.
"In game one we were very clean," Bechard said. "We defended well."
From there, the Jayhawks seemed to lose the emotion that carried them in game one. UMKC went toe-to-toe with Kansas before falling 30-27. Senior middle blocker Josi Lima had five kills in the game, and the Jayhawks outblocked the Kangaroos 5-3.
Junior outside hitter Jana Correa said she noticed more of a slip in Kansas' game than an improvement in UMKC's game as the night progressed.

"I think it was definitely more us," Correa said.
"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves because, in the Big 12, it's going to be tough. We want to be perfect."
The Jayhawks continued to struggle in game three. UMKC held a late 26-25 lead, but Kansas reeled off three straight points to regain control and close out the match. The Jayhawks won 30-28.
Lima led the Jayhawks with 12 kills on the evening. Freshman middle blocker Savannah Noyes was Kansas' most efficient attacker for the second consecutive match, hitting at a 667 attacking percentage, with nine kills. Senior defensive specialist/libero Jamie Mathewson had 10 blocks for her second straight double-digit performance.

With less than three minutes left in the game's first overtime, No. 23 Wisconsin was awarded a goal to defeat No. 25 Kansas, 3-2.
Yesterday's Kansas soccer game ended with the ultimate indignity: an own-goal.
Sophomore defender Afton Sauer and junior midfielder Michelle Rasmussen each attempted to clear the ball from the net, without success. Sauer appeared to knock the ball into her net while attempting to save it. The winning goal was charged to Kansas as an own-goal.
Wisconsin senior forward Amy Vermeulen took a shot from the corner. Sophomore goalkeeper Colleen Quinn deflected the ball to a pair of Kansas defenders who had made their way to the goal to help.
"There was no way to get it off the line," Sauer said. "We were dominating the whole game and they got one lucky chance and we just didn't clear it out. It just sucks to lose that way."
Of the seven shots on goal, Quinn saved four. The story was similar for Wisconsin's sophomore keeper Lynn Murray, who allowed two goals while saving four.
Kansas out shot its opponent 15-12, but for the first time the team had fewer shots on goal than Wisconsin, 7-6.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said he didn't blame Quinn for the goals.

Athletes need to walk away from off-court altercations
Enough is enough. This is not what Kansas athletics is about.
is about.
A week ago, Kansas prepared for the start of the football season. This was an opportunity for the Jayhawks to start on a clean slate after the fallout of departed running back John Randle. Then there was an incident at a Kenny Chesney concert involving sophomore fullback Bruce Ringwood.
more tunnels in basketball team is still having problems after current and former members were spotted at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8.E. Sixth St., Saturday night when several fights started.
The Lawrence Police Department responded to a brawl that erupted at Abe and Jake's earlier that night. Tyler Tromaden, Abe and Jake's manager, said student athletes did not initiate the brawl, but tried to break it up.
Sophomore guard Rodrick Stewart was injured during the incident and treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Former guard Aaron Miles and former forward Moulaye Niang were also seen at the hospital.
ward Montague Nang were used to help I hope Rodrick's recovering well, but it never should have to come to this.
I'm aware that student athletes undergo enormous pressure to succeed on the field or on the court. I can understand the difficulty of constant expectations to excel, even in the offseason. But there are different ways to deal with these types of incidents.
I propose a simple solution: walk away.
Below are several reasons why student athletes need to walk away from these kinds of situations.
First, while it's admirable to try and break up a fight from getting out of control, it would be unfortunate to get hurt in the process. Student athletes should consider their personal safety. An individual in a fight could be carrying a knife — or even a gun. It is not worth the risk.
Furthermore, athletes should consider their athletic careers. Helping or being involved in a brawl can turn into disaster. For instance, athletes should not risk their athletic and so on.
The Bruce Ringwood incident at a Kenny Chesney concert and, most recently, Rodrick Stewart being injured at a nightclub are examples of why student athletes need to avoid confrontation.
their athletic and or professional careers on getting involved in a bar brawl.
Also, consider the reputation of Kansas Athletics, which has declined during the past year. Randle was arrested five times since November 2003. Giddens left the school in the offseason after getting stabbed in his right calf. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino suspended Ringwood last week for assaulting a woman and her husband at a Kenny Chesney concert at Kemper Arena. Now, the Abe and Jake's incident happens.
in brains.
Athletes should have a social life, but there are ways to go out and have a good time without the police getting involved. When the night ends, we should be concentrating on beating Kansas State and Missouri instead of diverting attention to the hospital.
I know every athlete isn't responsible for these incidents. Simply put, though, this is embarrassing.
Many student athletes come to the University on a partial or full-ride scholarship. They should not undermine the value of a free education by getting involved in brawls.
So do yourselves, the fans and the police all a favor — walk away.

VOL.116 ISSUE 10 POLICY
City considers reeferendum
Ordinance would change severity of first offense
WWW.KANSAN.COM
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
trobinett STAFF WRITER
The Drug Policy Forum of Kansas will present its case to the City Commission next Tuesday for an ordinance banning the possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in Lawrence.
If the ordinance passes, an adult caught and charged with possession of marijuana or paraphernalia would be issued a ticket and notice of a court date, rather than being arrested and taken to the county jail.

"Society needs to conserve its resources in terms of police and district attorneys," said Laura Green, executive director of the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas.
PROPOSAL
Green said that making a city ordinance would divert marijuana prosecution to the Lawrence Municipal Court instead of the Douglas County District Court, allowing district attorneys to prosecute more serious crimes. Second offenses would still be prosecuted in the District Court.
Green said the accused would have the same type of hearing in the Municipal Court as they would in the District Court, and the penalties would remain the same.
Adult Possession of Marijuana Ordinance Proposal
$\diamond$ The ordinance would direct the Lawrence Police Department to issue a mandatory Municipal Court appearance for possession of marijuana or marijuana paraphernalia.
She said one of the main differences between the two courts would be that students would not lose federal financial aid if found guilty of a first offense in Municipal Court because the

offense would not show up on their records.
According to a letter Green wrote to the City Commission, a 1998 revision of the education act included a provision that makes students ineligible to receive financial aid after being convicted for possession of drugs. The period of ineligibility is one year for the first offense, two years for a second and indefinite for a third.
Andrew Belgum, Kimball, Neb, freshman, said he thought Municipal Court was the proper place to prosecute marijuana citations.
"I don't think marijuana is that big of a deal, and you shouldn't lose financial aid over it." Belgium said.
Nationally, more than 160,500 students have lost their federal aid since the Higher Education Drug Amendment was added in 1998.
Green said this ordinance would keep people from losing federal aid, housing, food and job training after their first drug convictions.
The 1996 Welfare Act denies aid or assistance to persons convicted of a felony drug offense, she said.
Marijuana possession would be a low priority for the Lawrence police department.
Persons charged with a second marijuana possession, which is a felony, would be prosecuted in District Court.

The ordinance also would make marijuana a low priority for the Lawrence Police Department.
Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said even though his comments were premature because he didn't have all the details, the change would not seriously change anything.
Commissioners David Schauner and Mike Amyx both said they had not decided how they would vote.
"I guess my opinion is I'm trying to find out what the effect will be on the Municipal Court," Amxv said.
"Student aid is tough enough to come by, and I hate to see them lose it for any reason," Schauner said. "My jury is still kind of out on this. At this moment I need more information."
Amyx said he did not think Lawrence would break new ground if the ordinance passed, because other cities in Kansas have passed similar ordinances, including Topeka, Overland Park, Wichita, Manhattan, Olathe, Leavenworth and Winfield.

KU transit task force to give bus proposals
Three ideas to be presented for approval

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A task force for improving transit on campus is prepared to promote several different ways to improve the bus system on campus.
Danny Kaiser, chairman of the group and assistant dean of students, said the report would recommend three systems for buses: a system ran entirely by the University; a transit authority formed with representatives from students, the city and University; or a system contracting bus services from the city to expand and coordinate with KU bus routes.
Scott McMahon, Omaha senior waits for the bus outside of Murphy Hall last week.
The three recommendations are equally viable, Kaiser said.
The report also recommends the University hire a consultant to work with the task force on

PROPOSALS
The task force on KU transit will be presenting three different recommendations to the parking commission and provost to improve campus transportation. Here are the three choices:
- Work with the city by contracting buses and coordinating routes to create a more unified system.
- Form a new transit authority that would have representatives from students, the city and the University.
- Maintain KU on Wheels as a separate campus transit system.
after seeing a draft of the report, the parking commission was unlikely to make changes.

Gas prices continue to rise following Hurricane Katrina
President Bush may tap oil loan from reserve
BY GABY SOUZA
gouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students may need to bring out the bicycles as gas prices are on the rise once again.
This time it is due to Hurricane Katrina, the storm that devastated the Gulf Coast yesterday.
The United States government's oil supply is located underground along the Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast. The storm already caused the shutdown of more than one million barrels of refining capacity along the Gulf Coast, which limits the amount of oil ready to be used.
Anne Brand, the manager of the Louisiana BP Amoco at 2301 Louisiana, said that gas prices would probably be raised at 3 p.m. yesterday.
She said she guessed prices would be raised by 10 cents. Regular unleaded prices yesterday were at $2.69 per gallon before 3 p.m.
The storm already caused the shutdown of more than one million barrels of refining capacity along the Gulf Coast, which limits the amount of oil ready to be used.
"Got to love a hurricane," Brand said.
Molly Athricks, an assistant at Presto Convenience Store at 1802 W. 23., said she was hoping that she would not have to raise gas prices.
The price of regular unleaded at Presto was $2.59 at 3 p.m. yesterday.
"We're keeping our fingers crossed." Athricks said.
Casi Evans, Des Moines sophomore, said that it was probably a good thing that she had filled her gas tank about three days
ago. Now she will probably start carpooling and limiting her activities.
Nate Miller said even though he was low on gas, he didn't plan on filling up any time soon because gas prices are so high.
The Salina freshman also said he didn't plan on driving much this week and that he would wait until it was absolutely necessary before filling up.
Anonymous administration officials have confirmed that President Bush is likely to authorize an oil loan from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
But the loan still remains in question as no official decision has been made.
The last time oil was loaned from the reserve was in September of 2004 after Hurricane Ivan hit the Gulf of Mexico. The oil was repaid by April of 2005.
President Bush made verbal emergency disaster declarations for Louisiana and Mississippi yesterday.
The declaration allows for federal funds to be used for disaster relief and recovery.

Broken elevator gets a lift

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Repair work for the out-of-service elevator in Snow Hall began yesterday. The elevator stopped working Aug. 18.
stopped working atag While the elevator was out of service, Gloria Prothe, office supervisor in Snow Hall, said many people were inconvenienced.
"I know of at least one student who is in a wheelchair and couldn't get to his class," Prothe said. "We haven't seen him around and no one's contacted us."
The student did not contact the office, said Melissa Manning, associate director for disability resources at the University of Kansas.
"If they had just called the math department or our office, the class could have very easily been moved," Manning said.
Some faculty members and housekeeping service also encountered difficulties because of the broken elevator. Prothe said faculty who needed to move furniture from their offices could not do so. Housekeeping staff had to drag supplies and trash up and down the stairs.
Some students had not noticed the problem.
"I did not even know Snow Hall had an elevator," said Molly Wells, Austin, Texas, senior.
Atanas Stefanov, assistant professor of mathematics, has an office on the top floor. He said he had taken the elevator daily.
he had taken it, "It is an inconvenience, but then again, maybe it's not such a bad thing for me," Stefanov said.

The University's Facilities and Operations department has a contract set up with Otis Elevators for maintenance and repairs. Prothe said she had tried to contact the company several times in the past few weeks. All she had heard was that a supervisor would contact her.
"I don't know why it takes so long to replace a motor." Prothe said.
Mark Sindors works for Otis Elevators and helped repair the broken elevator. He said the motor had burned out because the building was overheated and a brown-out occurred, meaning the voltage was too low, which strained the motor.
"Usually when ordering a new motor, you can get one overnight." Sindors said. "But we had to order a 50 horse-power motor, and that took some time to find one."
Sindors said the repair delay was due to the size of the motor.
The repairs began yesterday morning and Sindors said the elevator should be working by the end of the day.

"A peaceful mind will give you a very happy life," he says softly.
He's president of KU Kung-fu Club, former president and current member of the KU Buddhist Association, former president of the Taiwanese Student Association and a graduate teaching assistant in political science.
Liu says he has two secrets to controlling his busy life: Pure Land Buddhism and tai chi, a Chinese exercise of balance and meditation. He says the disciplines work in combination to calm his mind.
"You can say Buddhism is different than tai chi," he says. "You can say they're the same thing."
Liu started learning both disciplines in the spring of 2002 while wrapping up his master's degree in political science.

He describes his mind, his life, as being hectic then. After spending two years at the University and serving as president of the Taiwanese Student Association, everything seemed to unravel.
"Now my dream's broken, it's gone," he says. "I was very sad."
He applied to six colleges to pursue his doctorate and got two rejection letters and four non-responses.

Liu leans forward in his chair, remembering the moment when his life changed. It was May 2002, and he was alone at midnight in a room of Summerfield Hall, putting the final touches on his master's dissertation, due the next morning.
He hadn't saved his work for five hours. His computer crashed. The only trace of the culmination of two years of study was the incomplete paper from five hours ago. He searched every folder. Nothing. So he wished.

Liu leans closer.
"I made a wish in my mind to the universe," he says. "I was talking to myself, saying, 'Right now I need a miracle, but I don't believe in that at all. If I get a miracle, I say, 'I will study Buddhism.' So I say, 'Amitabha,' the Buddhist chant. I say to myself this, and I reboot my system. It's midnight, or 10 past 12, and the document's back."
The moment wasn't magic, Liu says,
but it wasn't dumb luck either.
"Don't think Buddhism will give you magic powers," he says. "A peaceful mind will make you happy and that's where good luck comes from. It's not about being a vegetarian or not. It's not about bowing to Buddha or not. There's no mystery in Buddhism."
Since that moment, Liu says he's dedicated himself to the study of Pure Land Buddhism, a sect of Buddhism popular in East Asia. He started regularly attending the KU Buddhist Association's Wednesday night meditations, reading the Sutra and chanting. He served as president of the KU Buddhist Association for two years.

Shortly after that May night, Liu received an e-mail from Robert Huckefelt, a well known scholar from Indiana University, who advised him to study under a KU professor named Paul Johnson.
So he decided to stay at the University under Johnson's tutelage. It would be a challenge because he was no longer enrolled and he didn't have a place to live.
Liu had taken one of Johnson's classes but didn't know Johnson was interested in the same brand of political science that interested him.

Hurricane Katrina hits Gulf Coast states hard
FIRST FLUSH
BY ALLEN G. BREED THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hurricane Katrina destroyed houses and flooded neighborhoods in the Historic District of New Orleans as it hit the Gulf Coast states on Monday. Katrina was downgraded to a tropical storm while moving through eastern Mississippi.
NEW ORLEANS — Announcing itself with shrieking, 145-mph winds, Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast just outside New Orleans on Monday, submerging entire neighborhoods up to their roofs, swamping Mississippi's beachfront casinos and blowing out windows in hospitals, hotels and high-rises
But it was plenty bad in New Orleans and elsewhere along the coast, where scores people had to be rescued from rooftops and attics as the floodwaters rose around them.
For New Orleans — a dangerously vulnerable city because it sits mostly below sea level in a bowl-shaped depression — it was not the apocalyptic storm forecasters had feared.
At least five deaths were blamed on Katrina — three people killed by falling trees in Mississippi and two killed in a traffic accident in Alabama. And an untold number of other people were feared dead in flooded neighborhoods, many of which could not be reached by rescuers because of high water.
Katrina knocked out power to more than three-quarters of a million people from Louisiana to the Florida's Panhandle, and authorities said it could be two months before electricity is restored to everyone. Ten major hospitals in New Orleans were running on emergency backup power.

Katrina was later downgraded to a tropical storm as it passed through eastern Mississippi, moving north at 21 mph. Winds were still a dangerous 65 mph.
The federal government began rushing baby formula, communications equipment, generators, water and ice into hard-hit areas, along with doctors, nurses and first-aid
Forecasters said that as the storm moves north through the nation's midsection over the next few days, it may spawn tornadoes over the Southeast and swamp the Gulf Coast and the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys with a potentially ruinous 8 inches or more of rain.
Oil refiners said damage to their equipment in the Gulf region appeared to be minimal, and oil prices dropped back from the day's highs above $70 a barrel. But the refiners were still assessing the damage, and the Bush administration said it would consider releasing oil from the nation's emergency stockpile if necessary.
Katrina had menaced the Gulf Coast over the weekend as a 175-mph. Category 5 monster, the most powerful ranking on the scale. But it weakened to a Category 4 and made a slight right-hand turn just become it came ashore around daybreak near the Louisiana bayou town of Buras, passing early of New Orleans on a path that spared the Big Easy — and its fabled French Quarter — from its full fury.
"I've never encountered anything like it in my life. It just kept rising and rising and rising," said Bryan Vernon, who spent three hours on
Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco said 200 people have been rescued in boats from rooftops, attics and other locations around the New Orleans area, a scene playing out in Mississippi as well. In some cases, rescuers are sawing through roofs to get to people in attics, and other stranded residents "are swimming to our boats," the governor said. In one dramatic rescue, a person was plucked from a roof by a helicopter.

"Let me tell you something, folks: I've been out there. It's complete devastation," said Gulfport, Miss., Fire Chief Pat Sullivan.
In Gulfport, young children clung to one another in a small blue boat as neighbors shuffled children and elderly residents out of a flooded neighborhood.
In Alabama, Katrina's arrival was marked by the flash and crackle of exploding transformers. The hurricane toppled huge oak branches on Mobile's waterfront and broke apart an oil-drilling platform, sending a piece slamming into a major bridge.

KU sports apparel retailers on Massachusetts Street may see stiff competition from a new store in the developing southern part of Lawrence.
Construction of several storefront buildings near the corner of 31st and Iowa streets is making the area a destination for Lawrence residents and students.
The owners of D3 Sports, Lawrence's newest provider of sports apparel, are optimistic about their future owning the only business in Lawrence's southern shopping district to specialize in KU merchandise. D3 Sports, 2040 W. 31st St., is co-owned by David Timmons, who previously managed Jock's Nitch Sporting Goods, 1443 W. 23rd St, and Doug Dobbins, who managed the Jock's Nitch at 837 Massachusetts St. The two had planned to open their own business, but were awaiting a location that suited them.
"We were just ready to do something on our own." Timmons said.
The owners of D3 Sports had planned to make $350,000 in their first year of business, and Dobbins said since the business's opening on May 29, they had been on schedule.
"Traffic out here has been pretty good," Dobbins said.
He said that business generated by nearby stores had attracted shoppers to his store.
"Pretty much everyone in Lawrence goes to Best Buy and Home Depot." Dobbins said.
Emi Ibarra, Wichita freshman, said that because there were other stores around D3 Sports, customers would see D3 Sports if they were not aware of its existence already. Dobbins considered their current location to be the other main shopping district in Lawrence.

Joshua Bicket/KANSAN Lawrence Freenet, a non-profit organization, wants to install wireless "access points" throughout the city, which users can purchase for a one-time fee of $150. The service has been available around the 28th Street and Kasold Drive area since Aug. 1.
The Lawrence City Commission gave Lawrence Freenet permission last week to mount wireless internet transmission equipment on city property, without paying the normally required fee of $1,000 to $1,500 a month.

Joshua Montgomery, president of Lawrence Freenet, said the goal of the project was to provide broadband Internet to all of Lawrence by January 2006 regardless of location or income and was started to bridge the digital divide.
Lawrence Freenet, a nonprofit organization, has already provided limited service immediately around the area of 28th Street and Kasold Drive since Aug.1.
Montgomery said the service has been very straight forward, there has been positive feedback from Lawrence Freenet users and it will continue to expand the service.
"Lawrence freenet is very interested in working with KU," Montgomery said. "We would love to have access to roof tone
on campus, but haven't been able to penetrate the bureaucracy."
According to www.lawrence freenet.org, bandwidth is purchased by Lawrence Freenet while each user purchases an access point. The access point is a one-time fee of $150. Along with internet access, Lawrence Freenet plans to provide donated computers to citizens who cannot afford them.
Montgomery said students would benefit the most from the service.

"I think some of our kids will get a better education, other people will notice that we are a technological progressive community and our attraction efforts will improve," he said.
Patrick Knorr, general manager of Sunflower Broadband, said he was not concerned with Lawrence Freenet's service affecting Sunflower Broadband's sales because Lawrence Freenet has a different business focus.
"Wireline service is less prone to interference and technical problems than wireless service," Knorr said. "It isn't concerning as long as we stay focused."
Highberger said that he did
not think for-profit providers would be affected by Lawrence Freenet.
"They can't offer the same kind of technical support and they are not offering their service to businesses," he said.
Montgomery said Lawrence Freenet wouldn't provide its service to businesses because it wouldn't have the infrastructure to support them and there would

Union continues negotiations with Boeing
BY TIM KLASS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Days before a contract between Boeing Co. and the Machinists union is to expire, labor leaders said the two sides remain far apart and warned of a possible strike.
warned of a position Seattle-based Machinists Lodge 751 on Monday countered the aerospace company's latest contract offer with their own proposal, but the union declined to provide details.
The latest Boeing proposal, submitted late Sunday, would boost cash bonuses by at least $1,500, but Machinists union leaders representing 18,400 production workers say it missed the point — pensions.
"The important thing is that we're still negotiating. We're still discussing the issues." Boeing spokesman Charles Bickers said.
Bickers had characterized those changes, which carry an immediate price tag of at least $27.2 million, as "an important improvement, a substantial improvement."
Machinists spokeswoman Connie Kelliher said the two sides remained "far apart" and dismissed the company's three-year offer as a "minimal" advance.
"The company's latest offer showed no substantial improvements on our top three issues, which are pensions, health care and job security." Kellier said.
She said Boeing's latest offer made no changes in job security or pension provisions. Boeing has offered to boost pension contributions by less than the amount they were raised in the last contract. That agreement was reached in the year following the 2001 terrorist attacks, when the company was reeling from the worldwide economic and airline slump.
Workers represented in the talks now receive an average of $59,000 a year. No general pay increase has been offered, but Boeing estimates that cost-of-living provisions would boost base wages by about 1 percent in each year of the contract.
The three-year contract with Boeing's biggest union, which represents mostly hourly workers who assemble passenger and cargo jets and build components for those aircraft in the Seattle area, Wichita and Gresham, Ore, expires Friday. Under

a negotiating timetable cited by both sides. Boeing's final offer is due Tuesday.
The statement said the second bonus amounted to a "jump start" on an earlier incentive pay offer that would provide five days of pay to Seattle-area and Gresham workers if the company meets financial targets and up to 15 days' worth if the targets are exceeded.
The release and discussion of proposed Boeing contract terms is a marked departure from the past, when details were withheld until the final proposal was submitted to a union membership vote. On Friday the company released details of a revised offer, complaining that its first offer had been leaked and misrepresented.
The biggest apparent change in the latest offer was in bonuses: $4,500 on ratification plus a new $1,000 payment in March "recognizing employees' contributions to Boeing's performance this year." That's $1,500 more than Boeing's previous offer of a $2,000 ratification bonus and $2,000 in cash the first year of the contract.
Workers also could put all or some of their ratification bonuses into their voluntary investment plans — a Boeing version of 401(k) plans — and the company would match 50 percent of the first $2,250 rather than a 50 percent match on a $2,000 rollover as proposed Friday night.
over its property.
Bickers said he did not have aggregate cost figures that would cover other changes in the latest offer, including a new health coverage option that would require no premiums for a worker and partner and a premium of $10 per paycheck to add coverage of other family members.
And the thunder rolls
The zero-premium plan in effect would be continued but Boeing's proposal would require workers to pay some premiums. Premiums would be increased for the majority of health plans.

Report illustrates immigration law failures
BY LARA JAKES JORDAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Suspected or convicted foreign-born terrorists have routinely exploited federal immigration laws over the last decade to enter or remain in the United States illegally, according to a report set for release Tuesday.
The report provides newly compiled data on U.S. terror arrests to illustrate gaps in the nation's border security, visa approval and immigration systems. It was written by Janice Kephart, who served as counsel to the 9/11 Commission that investigated missteps leading to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Once in the country, some of them became naturalized citizens, says the report distributed by the Center for Immigration Studies, an advocate for stricter immigration policies.
"The attack of 9/11 was not an isolated instance of Al-Qaeda infiltration into the United States," the 46-page report found.
In fact, dozens of operatives both before and after 9/11 other than the 9/11 hijackers have managed to enter and

embed themselves in the United States, actively carrying out plans to commit terrorist acts against U.S. interests or support designated foreign terrorist organizations," the report concluded. "For each to do so, they needed the guise of legal immigration status to support them."
Overall, 59 of 94 foreignborn nationals who were either convicted or indicted on terror charges broke federal immigration laws to enter or remain in the country between 1993 and 2004, the report found. It also noted:

in the United States; another 17 used visitor visas to enter the country.
WVW
— Seven of the 94 were indicted for using false driver's licenses, birth certificates, Social Security cards and immigration records.
— Twenty-one became naturalized citizens.
The report identified many of the immigrants as affiliated with at least one terror organization, including 40 with Al-Qaeda, 16 with Hamas, 16 with the Palestinian or Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and six with Hezbollah.
Tightening U.S. borders has become a top priority for Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who last week called immigration enforcement an issue of utmost importance. The department has enacted a slew of programs — including stricter background checks, visa security systems and sharing intelligence with international allies
Z
— to harden immigration laws against terrorists, said spokesman Russ Knocke.
juan waw yet, tor Kan fully mis man spear
Since June 2003, the department has investigated 7,100 cases of immigrants suspected of violating temporary visas, resulting in 1,339 arrests, Knocke said.
Recent studies indicate immigration-related cases made up for nearly 33 percent of all federal prosecutions last year — more than any other crime.
"These programs and others would have placed a significantly greater amount of scrutiny on the 9/11 hijackers, vastly improving the odds of stopping them before they could have completed their attacks," Knocke said.
A spokesman for the National Immigration Forum, an immigration advocacy group, did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment Monday evening.
Center for Immigration Studies spokesman John Keeley said the report serves as a chilling reminder of vulnerabilities that still exist nearly four years after the 9/11 attacks.
"When you don't do anything about specific categories that have been exploited, you really are leaving the back door wide open," Keeley said.

New law provokes toke
What does possession of marijuana and speeding on the highway have in common? Nothing yet, but if the executive director of the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas, Laura Green, successfully persuades the City Commission at the upcoming Sept. 6 meeting, then getting caught with marijuana would be treated as a speeding ticket. That is if they are caught at all.
Penalties for having marijuana should remain at the State and Federal Courts level and not brought down to the City Courts just because people feel like it's too harsh.
Of course, the majority of the people in Lawrence that took the Lawrence Journal-World's poll asking should marijuana possession be treated as a traffic ticket, the response was predictable. 518 of the 734 votes were in favor of this proposal that should just go up in smoke.
As Green wrote in her letter to the City Commissioners, her reasoning was for the welfare of students. As it stands now, a KU student found in possession of marijuana will be arrested and the case would be held at Douglas County Courthouse. Because the case would be in a State or Federal Courthouse, the student would be denied financial aid because of the drug conviction.
If marijuana possession cases were held in City Court, then a drug possession would not appear on a student's record.
Stud said killing that after
The proposal also asks that marijuana enforcement would become a low priority. Making the punishment less severe for this offense would increase the number of incidents. If there is no incentive to stay drug-free, then the drug problem will rise.

It's like making all speeding tickets $10 or $50 no matter how fast you were traveling over the speed limit. This would just produce more people speeding because the consequence isn't that great of a punishment.
Green states in her letter to the City Commission, "The long-term benefit will be less young people with criminal records..." This is the line she's used to win over Lawrence's mayor, Boog Highberger, and District Attorney Charles Branson, who handles the marijuana cases for Douglas County.
In August 24, 2005 edition
LAW LAW LAW
of the Lawrence-Journal World, Highberger said, "It wouldn't bar a student from getting financial aid...|it's] appropriate because I think that would be a pretty harsh penalty for getting caught with a little pot." What, then, does qualify as a "little pot," Mr. Mayor? The Lawrence-Journal World article says the criteria is "small amounts of marijuana for personal use, not cases involving drug dealers."
So, it's a little pot, that's okay. But what about drug dealers who make money here in Lawrence by selling by the bowl full? They aren't selling it by the bowl, after all.
And what about those students who need financial aid who didn't get caught with pot? This law makes it possible for a student without a drug conviction to get passed up for student loans by a student with a drug conviction.
Green said the penalties would be similar to those already existing: "a combination of diversion, treatment, probation and a maximum fine of $2,500 or a year in jail." the Lawrence-Journal World, Aug. 24, 2005. If the penalties are the same except for the arrest and the drug felony, then this should be a moot point.
If you smoke pot and you get caught, it's simple - you go to jail. Lawrence is not a monopoly game; there should be no "get out of jail" cards here.
Certainly the fines and jail-time remain the same, but the long lasting effects of being caught with an illegal substance become virtually nil for first time offenders, provided they get caught doing the offending at all.
If drug users and dealers in other Kansas towns hear that they can get their first time offenses stricken from the record, won't they flock to a town where they know that there won't be any long term consequences to their record?
Combine that with marijuana enforcement becoming a "low priority," and it's almost a given that marijuana use in Lawrence will increase, and it seems like our law-makers are okay with that.
Well, the editorial board is not. The proposed plan is a complete lapse in moral judgement.
Sara Garlick for the editorial board.
No, kids, this is not the first time, nor will it be the last. The recess nomination of John Bolton to act as the United States' Ambassador to the United Nations is just the latest of many atrocities George W. Bush has perpetrated since taking office. Although recess nominations are not a rarity, it is rare for a position of this magnitude to be filled through a recess nomination.
Why is this man, who obviously possesses no faith in the work of the U.N., now holding a position that will soon be responsible for contributing to the vast changes that the U.N. will undergo in September? John Bolton should be as far away from the U.N. as George Bush is from alternate fuels. Our system of government, which includes checks and balances, is made to prevent extremists — on either side of the political spectrum — from gaining too much power. When the Senate twice rejected the nomination of Bolton, this should have been a clear indicator to our pretentious president that Bolton was not the right man for the job.
Bolton failed to receive Senate conformation, not once, but twice. And perhaps the best reason why Bolton should not be allowed to serve as U.N. ambassador is the cowardice of allowing a man, who has repeatedly referred to the U.N. as a meaningless entity, act in such a powerful position. According to an article by Edith M. Lederer of The Washington Post, Bolton said the following in reference to the validity of the U.N., [There is] "no such thing as the United Nations,' just 'an international community that occasionally can be led by the only real power left in the world, and that is the United States.'" And so the question remains.
Bolt on Bolton for U.N.
Instead Bush acted in typical Bush fashion. He ignored what society and the majority of Senators
KATE KIMBALL opinion@kansan.com

Bush has praised Bolton as the right man for the job saying "Ambassador Bolton believes passionately in the goals of the United
had to say, and did whatever he wants. Senators, both Democrat and Republican, have expressed concerns about the ability of Bolton to carry out his responsibilities in a positive fashion. According to a May 2005 issue of Time, Sen. Joseph Voinovich (R-Ohio), went on record saying "My conscious got me ..." and prevented him from agreeing with his Republican counterparts in supporting Bolton's nomination. Bolton also tripped over his words to Congress when asked if he had been questioned by government officials about Iraq attempting to smuggle arms from Africa before the war. Somehow this little investigation must have slipped his mind when asked if he had been questioned by the State Department. Still, this oversight did not stop Bush from making Bolton his new wingman for the U.N.
Nations Charter, to advance peace and liberty and human rights," according to The Washington Post. Maybe the President was off vacationing on the ranch when The Post also quoted Bolton as saying that it, "wouldn't make a bit of difference" if the top 10 floors of the United Nations — which include the secretary-general's office — vanished from the 39-story headquarters building. Although the majority of Senators saw right through John Bolton and his series of lies and blatant disregard for the U.N., he will now act as Ambassador to the U.N. until January of 2007.
Instead of finding out just how much damage Bolton can do in New York in the next year and a half, citizens must hold Bolton accountable for all actions he takes in his new office while advocating that he is not now—and will never be—the right person for the job.
As for the president, it's hardly a surprise that George would pick someone as dishonest as John Bolton for a position that requires a great magnitude of respect for the other 190 nations of the world. After all, it takes a liar to love a liar.

BROWNIE POINTS
Chuck Kennedy / KRT Campus
Assimilated students lose culture
Public schools teach students more than the curriculum. Interactions between different cultures, races and classes can be far more educational than what the teachers put on the board. When many students come to the University, these lessons become more acutely noticeable. These lessons are also incredibly valuable.
HUMAIRA FAREED
opinion@kansan.com
When I refer to myself as being a "brown person," nine times out of 10 the person I'm talking to, who, needless to say, is white, starts laughing at me because I am categorizing myself as a color. I do not find it offensive to refer to myself as brown, nor do I find it offensive when people refer to me as being brown.
After I classify myself as being brown, the [white] person I'm talking to asks what the criteria are for being a brown person. The guideline I use is that they have to be Indian, Pakistani, Afghani, Bengali or originally from somewhere in that region. And of course, they have to have a skin tone that matches a shade of olive-brown.
The real question is, as we
start to lump people of the same skin color into groups such as black, white and, more recently, brown, does it make people forget that their peers, as well as themselves, have an original heritage?
have an origin.
It is obvious that within secondary schools, both public and private, the value of culture is not presented to the degree it should be.
characterize myself by my skin tone, I can say that I have forgotten the little things that I took into account while I was living at home with my brown parents, who exposed me to Pakistani and Indian culture every day.
True, this is a terrific movement to end race and gender discrimination, but there has to be some way to conserve culture and feel open to talk about it before getting to a big university. I know first-hand that it has always been hard to refer to myself as being Pakistani, because some people do not know where or what that is.
The same is true for white people and African Americans, who are referred to as black. Honestly, when is the last time you asked a Caucasian person where they or their families were from? The term "white person" has been around for much longer than the term "brown person" and it is noticeable that American white people of our generation do not know too much about their original heritage
Therefore, I have started to classify myself as being brown. But as I continue to
If we continue to use colors instead of countries to represent people, it will lead to a mixing of cultures that may offend some people. We must find a way to balance our culture as an American white, black, Asian or brown person while maintaining the more acute aspects of our heritage.

♥ HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21 to April 19)
- Arries (March 21 to April 19)
Careful, Lamb. Taking on too many tasks at one time can cause you to create more snarls each time you try to work your way through the tangled mass. Best to handle one job at a time.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20)
- Taurus (April 20 to May 29)
Making bold moves is what Bovines do. But the best moves are made with lots of data to provide backup just in case you charge into an unexpected complication. A new relationship shows promise.
Gomni (May 21 to June 20)
Sharing credit for a job well done is easy for you to do, but not necessarily for your partner. But fair is not fair. Let yourself be denied the right to have your contributions recognized.
**Cancer** (June 21 to July 22)
Communication is important to help bridge a gap that can lead to problems at home and/or at the workplace. Find a way to get your points across before the breach becomes a chasm.
+ Leo (July 23 to August 22)
**July (July 23 to August 22)**
Relationships, whether business or personal, need to be watched carefully for signs of trouble. Any negative indications should be dealt with before they become too burdensome.
- **Virgin (August 23 to September 22)**
Congratulations. A more positive aspect highlights much of the Virgo's week. You should find others more receptive to your suggestions, and also more likely to act on them.
❖ **Libra** (September 23 to October 22)
All work and little play could wear the Libra's usually positive attitude down. Take some much-needed time off. Perhaps a short airtude with someone special is the way to go.
♦ Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)
This is a good time to expand your view from the known to the unfamiliar. Confronting new situations could be challenging, but could ultimately also be extremely satisfying.
+ Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)
Giving advice to those who just want validation for what they're doing can be unsettling. So back off and save your counsel for those who really appreciate it.
*Capricorn (December 22 to January 19)*
Cultivating a more positive attitude not only makes you feel better about yourself, but also has an upbeat effect on those around you, especially that someone.
♭ Aquarium (January 20 to February 18) Keeping the lines of communication open and accessible is the key to establishing the right foundation on which to build an important and meaningful relationship. Stay with it.
> Picas (February 19 to March 20)
Before agreeing to act on a request, consider using your perspective Picasen talents to see what might lie hidden beneath its surface and could possibly cause problems later on.

Broncos re-evaluate running back pick
Shanahan cuts Clarett after lack of play
BY EDDIE PELLS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The reason running back Maurice Clarett isn't with the Denver Broncos anymore is pretty simple.
"We have four guys I believe can play," coach Mike Shanahan said.
And Clarett never made his way into that mix.
The Broncos returned to practice Monday and Shanahan answered questions about why he decided to waive Clarett, the surprise third-round draft choice who was slowed by a groin injury and never made any impact in Denver's training camp.
That Clarett was a bust isn't a shock to most around the league. He was out of football for two years and performed badly at the NFL scouting combine. And that's to say nothing of the troubles he endured off the field.
In Denver, the pick is being viewed as a bad example of hubris for Shanahan, "the Mastermind," who has turned lower picks—like Terrell Davis, Ruben Droughts and Mike Anderson—into stars and probably thought he could do the same, even with a prospect as checkered as Clarett.
To his credit, Shanahan didn't linger on this mistake, deciding to cut ties quickly instead of forcing something to work. And the coach conceded he did err by picking the star of Ohio State's
"I'm not real confident of anything at this point. We'll see what happens now."
happens now."
Steve Feldmen Maurice Clarett's agent
2002 national championship.
"I think any time you cut somebody in the third round, you feel like you made a mistake," Shanahan said. "When you do that, you make a mistake and you go on. At least you evaluate it. That's not to say that Maurice doesn't have a chance to go to another football team and make that team and contribute. But in a true evaluation of your own organization, when you use a third-round draft choice and he does not make your team, obviously it's not good."
ously it's not good.
The Broncos had not officially announced their cuts as of Monday afternoon. When Clarett does officially land on waivers, teams will have 24 hours to claim him and the incentiveladen contract he signed with Denver.
Deliver.
It is more likely that Clarett will become a free agent, free to negotiate a new deal with anyone.
"I'm not real confident of anything at this point," Clairet's agent, Steve Feldman said Sunday. "We'll see what happens now."
Clarett missed about two weeks of practice with a nagging groin injury that prevented him from making the trip to Houston, where the Broncos practiced three days and played the Texans in their preseason opener.
When the Broncos returned from the trip, Shanahan was no longer in the mood to defend the player he took a chance on, saying instead that he couldn't evaluate Clarett if he wasn't at practice.
Last week, Shanahan said he planned on getting Clarett some playing time Friday in Denver's preseason finale against Arizona. But when Quentin Griffin made his preseason debut last Saturday against the Colts and showed his surgically repaired knee was healthy, the Broncos knew they had their foursome at tailback: Griffin, Ron Dayne, Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson.
Meanwhile, Cecil Sapp can play tailback and fullback and will likely earn a roster spot.
"I felt so good about the running backs and what they've done," Shanahan said. "I wasn't going to give him playing time and take away from our other four."
Second-round draft pick Darrent Williams said Clarett got down about his lack of reps during practices.
Hardly anyone thought he had a chance to start for the Broncos. That he never played a down, not even in the pre-season, came as a surprise.
"I tried to give him encouragement. At times he was down because he was used to starting." Williams said.
图
"We've made mistakes before," Shanahan said. "We'll make mistakes in the future. Just because we draft somebody in the third round doesn't mean they're automatically going to be on our football team. We've cut our first-rounders, second-rounders before. You don't feel very good about those scenarios, but they do happen."

Schedule doesn't scare Buffaloes
Barnett says games against Miami and Colorado State draw recruits

Greg Heaggans, then junior wide receiver, attempts to spin past Gerrett Burl, then Colorado sophomore cornerback, while Darren Rus, then junior linebacker, looks to block during the game against Colorado last season. The Jayhawks will travel to Boulder, Colo., Oct. 22 to take on the Buffaloes.

Barnett said part of the reason he felt comfortable scheduling difficult games was because of the experience that senior quarterback Joel Klatt would provide.
"It is part of the tradition," Barnett said. "You come to Colorado, you get to play those great teams."

Klatt started 12 of the Buffaloes 13 games last season, including the team's appearance in the EV1.net Houston Bowl. He threw for 2,065 yards and nine touchdowns.

The running game will be led by senior tailback Lawrence Vickers, who could see action at running back and fullback. Vickers ran for 248 yards last season and also caught 27 passes for 274 yards.
On defense, the team's biggest strength will be its linebackers. Senior linebacker Brian Iwuh racked up 98 tackles last season and should lead the linebacker unit again this season. He is the team's most experienced defensive player with 16 career starts.
Iwu will be joined by sophomore linebacker Jordan Dizon. Dixon was named the Big 12's Defensive Newcomer of the Year last season, after tallying 82 tackles. Junior linebacker Thaddaus Washington will also return after starting much of last season.
A weapon that went unnoticed by some college football fans was junior placekicker Mason Crosby. Crosby was named to the Big 12 Preseason Football Team by the media, and has received All-American attention from various publications. Crosby will enter his third season at Colorado already third on its all-time list in field goals made, with 26. He is tied for sixth in scoring by a kicker with 137 points. Crosby also had a 60 yard field goal last year and was
a perfect 15-for-15 from inside the 40 yard line.
the 90 yard line.
"We wouldn't have won eight games last season without Mason." Barnett said. "He is a weapon for us. He is a once-in-a-25-year player."

Mizzou plans to honor player
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Aaron O'Neal, who died July 12 during a voluntary summer football work-out, will never step inside the University of Missouri's planned $16 million athletics training center
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
But those who follow in his footsteps will work out, study and watch game films in a renovated building with a room named after O'Neal — one of a series of season-long and permanent remembrances for the backup middle linebacker announced Monday by coach Gary Pinkel.
The Tigers' first two games of the season — Saturday against Arkansas State in Kansas City and Sept. 10 in Columbia against New Mexico — will include a moment of silence for O'Neal. Tiger players will line up at their 25-yard line in honor of O'Neal's uniform number.
They will wear his number on the back of their helmets, display No. 25 on two grassy expanses inside Memorial Stadium and keep his locker vacant until 2008, the year the redshirt freshman from suburban St. Louis was scheduled to graduate.
was sarcastic to my decision at all," said Pinkel. "The players came up with this."
Boone County medical examiner Valerie Rao determined last week that O'Neal, 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, died of viral meningitis, a rare inflammation of the tissues and infection of the fluid covering the brain that is rarely fatal. O'Neal's father has filed suit against Pinkel, athletics director Mike Alden and 12 football trainers and strength coaches, alleging negligence in the moments leading up to O'Neal's death.

With six weeks remaining until Late Night in the Phog, the women's basketball players are already practicing together.
NCAA rules allow the coaches to spend eight hours a week with the players before the formal start of the season on Oct.14.
Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson used six hours of that time away from the court, where she focused on the strength and conditioning of her players. The other two hours were spent on the court, where
"We're going to stay with all the individual work we've done, and I think with so many new kids, that's important for us," Henrickson said.
This year's Kansas team will have a mix of six newcomers and six veterans.
players worked on individual skills.
As the month progresses, the coaches will split their allotted time differently. The team will spend three hours on the court this week.
Veterans back together
Senior forward Crystal Kemp stayed in Lawrence, but she said it was hard to find available leagues.
"A lot of the things during the summer have to be certified by the NCAA, so you can't play in just any league," Kemp said. "I just worked individually and played in pickup games."
Senior guard Erica Hallman returned home to Kentucky to play in the Northern Kentucky Women's Summer Basketball League. The league consisted of mostly collegiate players.
Hallman's team went undefeated during the season and won the championship.
She said she mostly played the shooting guard position because she probably would play that position more this year.
Shaquina Mosley, a junior-college transfer from Arizona, was invited to try out for the USA women's national team along with 57 of the nation's top players.
"That was really exciting, to meet so many new people," Mosley said.
While at the trials, she played with junior guard/forward Camille Little of North Carolina, senior guard/forward Monique Currie of Duke, and junior guard Nikki Blue of UCLA.
The players went through drills and workouts in the mornings before scrimmaging in the afternoons

Kansas hopes to emulate Baylor this season

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
When the Kansas women's basketball team plays Baylor this year, the Jayhawks will be going up against more than just the defending national champions. It will be a match up against a team whose story the Jayhawks would like to emulate.
It took Baylor women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson just five years after coming to Waco, Texas, to turn the team into national champions.
As Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson enters her second year, she said she saw the Baylor national title victory as a positive for Kansas.

positive for Kansas. "It helps us to be able to look at how quickly they were able to turn it around and win a national championship," Henrickson said.
The quality of play in the Big 12 Conference is as high as anywhere else in the country. The conference has led the NCAA in attendance at women's games for the last six years, according big12sports.com.

"It's such a tough league to win on the road because of the crowds," Henrickson said. "It is hard to play in front of six or seven thousand people a night. That doesn't happen in any other league."
"It's going to be more competitive, and we're going to try to prove that we can play with them," Kemp said
in any other league. Senior forward Crystal Kemp said she expected the league to be even tougher than it was last year, when the conference had five teams ranked in the top 25.

Adam Barmann was named starting quarterback for the 2005 season. He earned the position over freshman Kerry Meier and seniors Brian Luke and Jason Swanson.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named junior quarterback Adam Barmann the team's starter during the weekly Big 12 teleconference yesterday.
"He has performed at a high level throughout August," Mangino said of Barmann, who will start Saturday's game against Florida Atlantic at Memorial Stadium. "Adam has won the job and has had a great summer and a really efficient month of August."
Barmann started eight games last season and completed 53.8 percent of his passes. He had 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Mangino said that the competition is still not finished, though.
"That doesn't mean you won't see some quarterback play from some others." Mangino said.
Also competing are senior Brian Luke and freshman Kerry Meier.
"Kerry Meier is very much competing for the position as the number two guy right now," Mangino said. "He is not out of the mix so we are just going to wait and see."
Mangino also announced that senior comberback Ronnie Amadi will start with junior Charles Gordon at the cornerback position. Amadi will take the place from senior Theo Baines, who started nine games last season.
"Ronnie looks sharp. He is a company guy." Mangino said. "He has worked hard since he has been here, he has made himself a really good player."
Amadi started the team's final four contests last year and had 34 tackles.
Baines suffered from injuries during the end of last season as well as throughout training camp. This enabled Amadi to see more time working with the first team. Baines had one interception last season.
Mangino said that competition was ongoing, specifically at guard, defensive tackle and safety. "I think competition at various positions is an ongoing thing, and I think that is healthy and I think that is good." Mangino said.
"The intense competition at these positions raises the level of play for our team," Mangino said.
Jerome Kemp will start at strong safety on Saturday with Rodney Fowler starting at free safety, Mangino said.

She has been an All-American twice, not counting ESPN the Magazine's academic All-American 2nd team nod in 2004.
Caroline Smith hasn't experienced a season at Kansas that wasn't followed by a shower of awards and accolades.
The senior forward holds the all-time scorer role with 45 career goals and 104 points.

Senior forward Caroline Smith answers questions from reporters during a press conference last week. Smith is the all-time leading scorer in KU women's soccer with 45 goals.
Each not once, but twice.
Still trying to fully grasp just how valuable this 5-foot-2 Minnesota native is? Smith was also named to the 2002 All-Big 12 newcomer team, was an All-American and named to the Central Region all-freshman team in the same year.
It is nearly impossible to think of the Jayhawks recent success without bringing up her name, not to mention her statistics.

The press constantly hounding her after games means little to Smith. Even in the long list of awards that she's earned, she said her favorite award wasn't amongst those.
"People that score goals get a lot of attention," she said.
"It wouldn't be an award." Smith said. "It would be our Big 12 Championship from last year. That was special for us, we won games that we were supposed to win. I think that's the best one."
She said she had no trouble seeing through the hype and the talk surrounding her name and instead listens to those who mean the most to her.
"The most important compliment I've ever gotten is that my teammates like to play with me," she said. "I don't want to be one of those people that scores goals but people hate stepping on the field with."
And that stepping on the field is something the senior doesn't take for granted, especially since she has battled injuries for much of her career. She now wears a head piece to protect her from another concussion.

Storm hits home for students
Jayhawks worry about Katrina's effect on family
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Donald Burnham watched all the news reports of Hurricane Katrina tearing through his home city, and all the while his thoughts remained on his mother.
Like other KU students from areas the hurricane ravaged on Monday, Burnham is trying to keep in contact with family and friends as they recoup from the storm's damage and decide what to do next. Last year, 83 students from Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, the three states most affected by Katrina, were enrolled at the University.
As of last night, more than 100 had been confirmed dead in Harrison County, Miss., while officials in New Orleans and
other areas said only they were pushing bodies aside to rescue survivors.
Burnham, New Orleans freshman, was unable to contact his mother, who did not evacuate. But at 5 a.m. Monday she sent him a picture of the backyard of their house via her cell phone. No words, just a picture.
The picture showed the yard completely filled with water and their shed "flying in mid-air," he said.
"That's when I really got worried," Burnham said. "I couldn't get in touch with her at all."
Late Monday night he received a text message from her saying she was safe, though Burnham doesn't know how she'll cope without electricity or clean water for possibly a month.
Pamela Botts, assistant director of Counselling and Psychological Services, recommended that students dealing with the crisis keep in touch with family.
"Mostly, it's important to stay focused on what you need to

Sara Edwards, a freshman from Mandeville, La., a city of 11,000 people across the bay from New Orleans, said she had been speaking regularly with her mother and sister, who fleed the city. She feared, however, for friends and family who stayed behind as she watched news reports.
"I was freaking out," she said. "I was so scared because I thought all the people I left behind were losing their houses and possibly getting hurt."
Edwards said she didn't receive word until yesterday that her father made it out of the city and to northern Mississippi.
Max Morris, a senior from Kenner, La., a suburb west of New Orleans, feared that his family's vacant house was badly damaged, but was grateful the

University praised for academic success
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas recently fell three spots this year in the U.S. News and World Report's magazine America's Best Colleges, but a new book based on a 2004 study of universities and colleges nationwide praises the University for its academics and success in undergraduate education.
The book, "Student Success in College: Creating Conditions That Matter," is based on Project DEEP, or Documenting Effective Educational Practice. Twenty-five researchers worked with the Center for Postsecondary Research at Indiana University to compile the report praising 20 educational institutes across the country. The
University and the University of Michigan were the only large public universities selected.
Michele Eodice, founder and director of the KU Writing Center, said the center assisted students in achieving success at the University
"We're not doing something to students. The educational process is something we do with students," he said.
A team of six researchers visited the University twice, once in 2002 and again in 2003, to interview more than 110 students, faculty and administrators.
Provost David Shulenburger said the University approached students and faculty as a team. He said this attitude contributed to the University's achievements.

Giddens faces charges from bar fight
BY STEVE LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson announced that charges have been filed against J.R. Giddens and Jeremiah Creswell, yesterday.
Giddens
Giddens, a former KU basketball player, was charged in a two-count complaint alleging disorderly conduct and misdemeanor battery against Creswell.
Creswell, a 24 year-old Olathe resident, was charged in a one count complaint alleging misdemeanor battery against Giddens.
Creswell allegedly struck Giddens with his fist inside the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St, on May 19. Giddens allegedly struck Creswell with his fist outside the Moon Bar after closing. Giddens was then stabbed in the right calf. Giddens and Creswell have been summoned to appear in court on Sept. 21.
No charges involving the knife injury had been filed, Branson said.
"It appears that those injuries were received while Mr. Creswell attempted to defend himself after several people joined in the altercation," he said. "The fact of the matter is, you've got a melee involving a lot of people. It's hard to tell what anybody's doing in these types of situations. To find a credible witness that can say 'yes, I saw X hit Y,' that's where the difficulty comes in."
Branson said he could not comment on specific details of the fight, nor whether Giddens and Creswell were tested for alcohol or drugs, because the case has not gone to court. Branson did not rule out filing additional charges in the case.

In a statement issued by the Kansas media relations department, Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self said he had no further comment on the matter.
"We have put this situation behind us," he said. The district attorney statement speaks for itself."
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony had a similar response.
"J.R. has moved on and we have moved on," Marchiony said. "That incident is in the past and we will not comment on it."
The investigation has reached a point where the police could not glean any new information by interviewing more people, Branson said. The district attorney's office reviewed more than 250 pages of reports and interviewed more than 50 witnesses, he added.
The summons would be sent to Giddens' new address in Albuquerque, N.M., where he has since transferred to the University of New Mexico. If someone fails to respond to a summons, a bench warrant is issued for his or her arrest, Branson said.
Typically in the first appearance at court in a misdemeanor case, charges are read to the defendant and then the defendant

How does it feel to be student body president?
NS: It's been a great time so far. I've had an excellent experience as student body president, and I think it's going to be a really fun year.
What is the most difficult part of your job?
NS: A lot of it has to do with time management The most difficult issue going on right now is definitely transit and parking. It's been a long summer of working with university administration and a number of interested persons and groups on this campus about transportation and parking. That will be the hardest issue, I think, for the entire year.
NS: I usually have one to two early morning meetings, and then class dur ing the bulk of the

day and then a couple of late afternoon meetings. I'm usually on campus from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Is it hard to balance Student Senate and school?
COLLEGE
Is being student body president what you expected it to be?
NS: It's a pretty even balance for Student Senate and school. There's a lot of time management and just making sure that when you go home you have dinner and stuff, and then you study before anything else. But for the most part, it's a matter of working with my teachers on missing class here and there for meetings, for Board of Regents, things like that, talking to them and letting them know who I am and working with them on issues.
NS: So far it's definitely what I expected it to be. It's been really busy, a whole lot of fun, and it's been a great opportunity to work with a lot of students, fac
utty, staff and people on and off campus that really care about this university. And for that reason alone, it's been a wonderful experience.
What are some of your goals for this year, and what is the one thing you want to accomplish this year as president?
NS: By the end of the year, I hope that we've done a lot of our platform issues, and we've changed the campus in a beneficial way. For me, it's just to have fun, learn a lot, help everybody that we can on campus and hold an open office that serves as many students as possible.
What advice would you give to new students?
NS: Get involved. I think new students need to be out there, look at different student organizations, start on your own, meet lots of other students and make yourself a part of the university community.
What is your favorite KU tradition?
NS: Hmm... that's tough. I would say my favorite KU tradition is probably waving the wheat at the end of a basketball or football game.
Drinking age challenged
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Edited by Becca Evanb
Candace Davis, vice president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said that before the drinking age in Kansas was raised to 21 in 1985, noise and rowdiness were not as much of a problem as it is now. Students went to bars where they could drink 3.2 beer if they were over the age of 18.
Students and members of the Oread Neighborhood Association have found something they agree on: lowering the drinking age.
State Representative Mardi Francisco said partying was more regulated and order was easier to keep when the drinking age was 18.
Francisco, who is also a founding member of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said this was because bars are places of business, where someone is in charge of what goes on inside the bar. Also, there was a dialogue kept between
"The drinking laws are difficult." Francisco said. "A lot of people have come to school and want some additional opportunities; 3.2 beer gave people some opportunities."
the bar owners and the neighborhood, she said.
Hawver said he was able to drink 3.2 beer when he turned 18, and he does not want to deny any 18-year-old that right. If a person is able to fight for his country, then he should be able to drink, Hawver said.
people some opinions. The idea of lowering the drinking age is also supported by Dennis Hawley, one of the Republican Party's candidates for the gubernatorial primary election.
Hawter switched his party from the Libertarian Party to the Republican Party on Aug. 19, 2005. He will be running in the primary on Aug. 1, 2006.
"It seems to me if people assume certain social responsibilities, they should get other responsibilities in return," he said.
"A lot of people have come to school and want some additional opportunities."
Marci Francisco State Representative
Kirk Matthew, Overland Park freshman, said he agreed with Hawver that lowering the drinking age was common sense.
"If we're able to vote and fight for our country, we should be able to drink," Matthew said.
Francisco said lowering the drinking age would not create an immediate, positive change in the neighborhood.
There are statistics that show the number of car accidents involving drunk drivers increases as the age
of the drivers decreases, she said. Getting people to drink responsibly is still an issue.
"You don't solve an abuse problem by changing the way it is abused," said Carol von Tersch, a member of the Oread Neighborhood Association.
"nighteen-year-olds have just gotten their licenses, and they don't have the maturity to handle the responsibility," she said.
Sarah Fiske, Denver junior thinks the drinking age should not be lowered because of problems with drunk driving.
Francisco said the residents of the Oread neighborhood are in no way opposed to students hanging out in the neighborhood.
She said the residents love where they live and would move if they had too much of a problem.
"We love the location, we like activity; we just have to be careful," she said.

Hurricane causes jump in gas prices
The potential damage to oil platforms, refineries and pipelines that remain closed along the Gulf Coast drove energy prices to new highs yesterday, with crude futures briefly topping $70 a barrel
and wholesale gasoline costs surging to levels that could lead to $3 a gallon at the pump in some markets.
Companies scrambled planes and helicopters to get an aerial view of their assets, and they began escorting some previously evacuated workers back to offshore facilities to conduct detailed inspections of rigs and underwater pipes.
Some producers found that a rig or platform had disappeared, drifted or listed, while others reported that damage appeared minimal.
Onshore, flooding from Hurricane Katrina is likely to have caused enough damage to some refineries that it could take weeks, and possibly a month or more, before operations return to normal.
analysts said.
Indeed, the production and distribution of oil and gas remained severely disrupted by the shutdown of a key oil import terminal off the coast of Louisiana and by the Gulf region's widespread loss of electricity, which is needed to power pipelines and refineries.

Postal Service honors court decision on latest stamps
United States Postal Service employee Larry Dreher, left, puts a cancellation stamp on the new Brown v. Board of Education stamp for Amy Bixler Kelly, of Lawrenceenon yesterday after the unveiling of the new stamps commemorating the nation's civil rights movement at the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - With several hundred people watching outside a building that once was part of a segregated school system, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled new stamps commemorating the civil rights movement.
Also honored is the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring school segregation unconstitutional, and for that reason, the Postal Service had one of six ceremonies in a tent outside the national historic site dedicated to Brown v. Board of Education.
The 10 stamps recall events from President Truman's 1948 order integrating the armed forces to congressional approval of legislation protecting blacks' voting rights in 1965.
The building once was Monroe School, one of four allblack elementary schools in the city.
About 100 fifth-graders from the nearby Williams Fine Arts and Sciences Magnet School built a decade ago to satisfy continuing litigation over
Topeka's schools — formed a choir and wore multicolored T-shirts. One song, borrowed from "School House Rock" of children's television, was the preamble of the U.S. Constitution set to music.
The new stamps pleased Zelma Henderson, who as the mother of two young children
joined 12 other parents, including the Rev. Oliver L. Brown, as plaintiffs in a 1951 lawsuit challenging Topeka's segregated schools.
"I think we all need reminders of what some of our people went through," said Henderson, now 85, the last living parents who filed that lawsuit.

Police announce meth busts
CRIME
BY MARK SHERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — When police visited an assisted-living facility near Pittsburgh they found employees cooking more than just the evening meal — authorities seized a lab used to make mamphetamine.
Police also made two of the more than 400 arrests that were part of the first nationally coordinated operation aimed at producers and sellers of the highly addictive drug.
Authorities announced yesterday the results of Operation Wildfire, a cooperative effort among police in more than 200 cities and the Drug Enforcement Administration. More than 200 pounds of the drug and 56 labs were seized.
Eight counties in rural western North Carolina accounted for 70 of the 427 arrests made nationwide.
Two elderly residents of the assisted-living facility in Donora, Pa., had to be hospitalized for exposure to toxic chemicals from the meth lab, DEA administrator Karen Tandy said. In Minneapolis, drug agents and police seized a lab in a hotel that is across the street from an elementary school, Tandy said.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3A
"It's homemade, cheap and readily available," Tandy said, noting that after starting in the West, meth
has been found in every state.
Authorities also took custody of 30 children, including two in Missouri who were living in a bug-infested home where meth was being produced, she said.
The arrests followed intense criticism from members of Congress and local law enforcement that the federal government is not doing enough to combat the use of methamphetamine. More than half the 500 shefflets in a recent survey called meth their top problem, far surpassing cocaine and marijuana.
Local officials applauded the results announced yesterday, calling them good first steps. But the administration has proposed eliminating $804 million in grants to local authorities for drug-fighting efforts, said Joe Dunn, assistant legislative director for the National Association of Counties.
Methamphetamine, which can come in the form of a crystal-like powder or rocklike chunks, is an addictive stimulant that can be smoked, snorted, injected or taken orally. Its street names include "ice," "cristal" "speed" and "tina."
"We'd like them to reverse that decision," Dunn said, noting that Congress appears likely to restore at least $400 million.
At least 12 million people have tried meth, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Authorities have dismantled more than 50,000 clandestine meth labs since 2001.
ing stores to remove medicines containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine from shelves.
Far more people use marijana, but Attorney General Alberto Gonzales recently said that meth has overtaken marijuana as the greatest danger to children.
Meth can be made using ingredients in over-the-counter cold medicines, prompting a dozen states to pass laws fore-
Gonzales has led an administration-wide effort to respond to those who say that the meth problem was being ignored until recently. Tandy and McGregor Scott, the U.S. attorney in Sacramento, Calif., recited lengthy lists of law enforcement actions and prosecutions aimed at meth.
U. S. officials also are working with Mexicans to try to control shipments from other countries of pseudoephedrine and other raw materials used in meth, Tandy said.
The DEA also unveiled an anti-meth Web site aimed at teens, www.justthinktwice.com.
The Bush administration earlier this month announced a training laboratory for police agencies and $16.2 million in grants to focus on treatment of meth addicts.

Man pleads not guilty in rape of 14-year-old
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LINCOLN, Neb. — A 22-year-old man accused of impregnating then marrying a 14-year-old girl pleaded not guilty yesterday to raping her.
Matthew Koso was arraigned in Richardson County District Court, where he is charged with first-degree sexual assault, punishable by up to 50 years in prison.
The girl, Crystal Koso, gave birth Aug. 24 to a 7-pound, 1-ounce girl. Samara.
Nebraska requires people to be at least 17 before they can marry.
But after the girl became pregnant, her mother gave permission in May for Koso to take her daughter to Kansas, which allows younger minors to get married with parental consent.
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius recently said she was asking legislators to establish a minimum age for marriage. She said the age should be 16, 17 or 18, "so we don't, after the fact, cover un abuse of children."
Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning said again yesterday that additional charges
Bruning acknowledged that he has received a "significant" amount of mail from the public saying he should leave the couple alone.
"But this is not a job we do to win popularity points," Bruning said. "I was elected to enforce the law. And anytime a grown man has sex with a child, it's not a close call for me."
A Falls City Police investigator testified earlier that the case began last May when the state Health and Human Services System asked the department to look into a report that the girl might be pregnant.
Kosso's trial date was set for Oct. 13.
Bruning said that Koso is a friend of the girl's half brother and began a relationship with her when she was 12.
"Our investigation's continuing," he said. "Obviously, it is dependent on very young girls telling us that they had sexual relations with Mr. Koso, which is not an easy fact to elicit from a very young girl."
Koso's lawyer, Willis Yoesel,
did not immediately return a call
to his office seeking comment.
against Koso involving other young girls are possible.

Rescue teams rush to flooded coast
BY BRETT MARTEL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Rescuers along the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast pushed aside the dead to reach the living Tuesday in a race against time and rising waters, while New Orleans sank deeper into crisis and Louisiana's governor ordered storm refugees out of this drowning city.
Two levees broke and sent water coursing into the streets of the Big Easy a full day after New Orleans appeared to have escaped widespread destruction from Hurricane Katrina. An estimated 80 percent of the below-sea-level city was under water, up to 20 feet deep in places, with miles and miles of homes swamped.
"The situation is untenable," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said. "It's just heartbreaking."
One Mississippi county alone said its death toll was at least 100, and officials are "very, very worried that this is going to go a lot higher," said Joe Spraggins, civil defense director for Harrison County, home to Biloxi and Gulfport.
Several victims in the county were from a beachfront apartment building that collapsed under a 25-foot wall of water as Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast with 145-mph winds. And Louisiana officials said many were feared dead there, too, making Katrina one of the most punishing storms to hit the United States in decades.
After touring the destruction by air, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said it is not of case of homes being severely damaged, "they're simply not there... I can only imagine that this is what Hiroshima looked like 60 years ago."
years ago.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said hundreds, if not thousands, of people may still be stuck on roofs and in attics, and so rescue boats were bypassing the dead.
"We're not even dealing with dead bodies," Nagin said. "They're just pushing them on

the side."
The flooding in New Orleans grew worse by the minute, prompting the evacuation of hotels and hospitals and an audacious plan to drop huge sandbags from helicopters to close up one of the breached levees. At the same time, looting broke out in some neighborhoods, the swelling city of 480,000 had no drinkable water, and the electricity could be out for weeks.

with water rising perilously inside the Superdome, Blanco said the tens of thousands of refugees now huddled there and other shelters in New Orleans would have to be evacuated.
She asked residents to spend Wednesday in prayer.
"That would be the best thing to calm our spirits and thank our Lord that we are survivors," she said. "Slowly, gradually, we will recover; we will survive; we will rebuild."
A helicopter view of the devastation over the New Orleans area revealed people standing on black rooftops baking in the sunshine while waiting for rescue boats. A row of desperately needed ambulances were lined up on the interstate, water blocking their path. Roller coasters jutted out from the water at a Six Flags amusement park.
Hundreds of inmates were seen standing on a highway because the prison had been flooded.
the prison Sen. Mary Landrieu quietly traced the sign of the cross across her head and chest as she looked out at St. Bernard Parish, where only roofs peaked out from the water.
"The whole parish is gone." Landrieu said.
All day long, rescuers in boats and helicopters pulled out shellshocked and bedraggled flood refugees from rooftops and attics. Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu said that 5,000 people have been rescued by boat and air, some placed shivering and wet into helicopter baskets. They were brought by the truckload into shelters, some in wheelchairs and some carrying babies, with stories of survival and of those who didn't make it.
"Oh my God, it was hell," said Kioka Williams, who had to hack through the ceiling of the beauty shop where she worked as floodwaters rose in New Orleans' low-lying Ninth Ward. "We were screaming, hollering, flashing lights. It was complete chaos."
Frank Mills was in a boarding house in the same neighborhood when water started swirling up toward the ceiling and he fled to the roof. Two elderly residents never made it out, and a third was washed away trying to climb onto the roof.
"He was kind of on the edge of the roof, catching his breath," Mills said. "Next thing I knew, he came floating past me."
Across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, more than 1 million residents remained without electricity, some without clean drinking water. An untold number who heeded evacuation orders were displaced and 40,000 were in Red Cross shelters, with officials saying it could be weeks, if not months, before most will be able to return.

Emergency medical teams from across the country were sent into the region and Presi-
Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown warned that structural damage to homes, diseases from animal carcasses and chemicals in floodwaters made it unsafe for residents to come home anytime soon.
A mass return also was discouraged to keep from interfering with rescue and recovery efforts.
That was made tough enough by the vast expanse of floodwaters in coastal areas that took an eight-hour pounding from Katrina's howling winds and up to 15 inches of rainfall.

Misdemeanor battery can result in a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in county jail, Branson said.
In a statement issued by the University of New Mexico's media relations department Giddens commented on the Moonbar incident and his future.
"Last May, I had an experience I will remember the rest of my life," he said. "I learned a lot from what happened that evening, and I feel I am a better person because of it.
"Now, I want to move on with a new and exciting situation I have at the University of New Mexico. I have really enjoyed my brief time in Albuquerque and I look forward to working with my new teammates and making a positive impact to the Lobos basketball team on and off the court."
In the same statement, New Mexico men's basketball coach Ritchie McKay said he was aware of Gidden's situation when he
signed him and the charges now facing him changed nothing.
"Before judgment is passed on J.R. please consider that I think we live in a day and age in which we often assume truth in things we hear about a young person's character before really getting to know that individual," he said. "In the short time I have known J.R. Giddens, I believe, from what I have read about him, that he has been wrongly portrayed."
McKay went on to say that anyone in the New Mexico basketball program would attest to Giddens being a fine young man.
In particular, I find it difficult to believe that J.R., the 'stabee,' would have to face the charges that were announced today in rather dramatic fashion," McKay said. "However, I wasn't at the incident so I don't know all of the facts.
"Yet, I trust J.R. and we fully support him. I think that when all is said and done his impact on our basketball program and our community will be significant."

and gave them an available outlet to improve their writing skills for future careers. She met with the researchers both times they visited
"I remember them saying they really got a good feeling from the campus and the student lifestyle here." Eodice said.
One factor that made the University stand out among other universities was its available resources aimed at helping students to succeed. One example of such as resource is the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.
Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations, said she credits the diversity of the student body for enlivening the experience that students had at the University.
Additionally, Mary Klayder, English lecturer, said the University had tried to focus on keeping class sizes to a minimum. She said even in classes that were larger, faculty attempted to implement smaller components, such as discussions.
The University also emphasized international experiences. Bretz said stricter admissions had improved the University's success as a whole.
"I think in general the University has very high quality faculty, and we've gone from being open admissions to having qualified admissions," Bretz said.
Bretz said the University had seen a steady improvement in retention rates, which is the return of students from one year to the next, and had its highest retention rate on record. She said the rate was about 83%.
"When you have eager students and eager faculty, that's just a great combination," Bretz said.

Televisions at recreation center a waste of money
PAGE 5A
Have you been to the Student Recreation Fitness Center lately? Have you seen the new televisions on the exercise machines? Did you read that great quote in the Kansan last week about how students love the televisions mounted on the elliptical machines?
at,
Rachelle Saathoff, Lawrence sophomore said, "I'd rather just listen to music. For me, it's too hard to concentrate on TV when you're working out," in the Aug. 24, 2005 edition of the Kansan.
Apparently while working out, people were complaining that they were being forced to watch a channel they didn't like, said Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services.
I'm glad with all the budget cuts, we still have enough money to fix the leaky roof

and add televisions to the exercise equipment.
We must have the best Student Recreation Fitness Center around if the only thing we can do to improve it is put televisions on the machines.
Maybe next week we could buy more fancy, cool and expensive equipment or maybe we could just buy two more bench presses so we don't have to wait in line for 45 minutes to use one.
After thinking about it, however, I decided the televisions sound much cooler. Next week, I'll bring my Xbox
and play Halo 2 while using the treadmill. That would be cool!
Or next year, let's just get the University to pay to have an Xbox mounted onto the treadmill.
That would be even better! Maybe we can get them to option for old school Nintendo, and then we can play Track and Field right on the treadmill! It'd be like running virtually and physically.
Or maybe we could get some Dance Dance Revolution's in the recreation center!
That's sort of like exercising, right?
I don't watch much TV but I do play a lot of video games and I think that would be a cool way to spend several hundred dollars.
Spending that money would be easily worth it. After all,
it'd be a cosmic tragedy if I had to do an entire workout and not watch the latest episode of, The Biggest Loser on MTV.
I would just die if I wasn't entertained for an hour or so while I rode a stationary bicycle.
O
OK. Now, I'll be serious These are all dumb ideas. I can't ever imagine having so much money that I would buy an elliptical machine with a television mounted on it. Why does the recreation center seem to think we need, not just one, but several television-mounted treadmills? I want another bench press.
Last year, an article ran on the opinion page about the University using Band-Aid solutions to fix problems like overcrowding in the recreation center and at the Wescoe Underground.
It takes a good 45 minutes to get on one of those and I bet they could buy three new bench presses for the price of one of those unnecessary televisions.
Instead of using that money maybe the rec center could have saved the it for something it could use later when it's adding onto the building.
But, even in Wescoe Underground, there is a nice big, LCD flat screen television hanging off a pillar.
Only a small number of people can see the television, and they don't pay attention to it.
All I'm asking is that we don't buy dumb, unnecessary things when we have better places to spend money.
Why did it have to be such a nice television? Why couldn't we get a used television if it was going to be in such a useless place?
I just want the people making the decisions about what to do with our money to consider if what they are buying is necessary or a waste of money.
I'd bet that most of you didn't know there was a television in the Wescoe Underground.

A troubled freshman girl came to me last weekend with a problem. She asked to remain anonymous.
---
For this column we will refer to her as "Bemily." Bemily asked, "Eric, I have a boyfriend back home. We don't go to the same school now, what should I do?"
I will tell you what I told her: Give him the ol' heave-ho. Any freshman girl, or any girl for that matter, who has a boyfriend more than 10 miles away, needs to cut the anchor and start partaking in a little thing we call college.
There are many good reasons to leave hometown Harry. I will tell you two.
First of all, he's cheating on you.
The odds that your high school sweetie is sitting on his couch, staring forward, thinking only of you are about as rare as finding Courtney Love out of rehab.
tures or your hepatitis results, he's telling his boys how he was doing the no-pants dance with Swamp Thing's ugly sister.
Then, while you are showing your roommates your prom pic-
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, ladies. You just need to face reality. This is not high school anymore.
The fact is, while you are playing little Miss Faithful, he's out getting busy with some random girl who he will regret when he wakes up with a burning sensation in the worst possible place.
Your boyfriend is not going to open your locker or write you sappy little notes. He does
"While you are showing your roommates your prom pictures, he's telling his boys how he was doing the no-pants dance with Swamp Thing's ugly sister."
And you know alcohol is not going to tell him to leave the
not have to leave your house by midnight. He can stay drunken than Nick Nolte at a German beer festival until he goes home for Thanksgiving.
Brazilian twins alone.
What happens when you see him again?
It plays out like this. You will go out to dinner. Then you will probably pick up the check, because he lost all his money in a "peeing-for-distance" competition. Then you hook up.
Great, now you have crabs,
too! See what happens when
you come to college with a
boyfriend? You end up with an
itchy case of V.D.
Another reason you need to lose the guy back home is simple. You can't tell me there isn't at least one guy on campus you wouldn't strip all your clothes and inhibitions for.
There are literally thousands of eligible bachelors at the University of Kansas waiting for you to become available. Ladies, you need to embrace this, and them, in a night of kinky, roommate-waking sex.
To prove your hometown boyfriend is not the one, I have a test for you. Walk up to the guy in class, across the hall, or whomever you have been eyeing. Go right up to him, look him in the eye and say, "I only want to have sex with my boyfriend for the rest of my life." I guarantee you can't do it.
To Bemily, and all the other girls with long-distance relationships: Don't risk getting crabs. Break up with your hometown boyfriend.

Rescue teams rush to flooded coast
BY BRETT MARTEL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Rescuers along the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast pushed aside the dead to reach the living Tuesday in a race against time and rising waters, while New Orleans sank deeper into crisis and Louisiana's governor ordered storm refugees out of this drowning city.
Two levees broke and sent water coursing into the streets of the Big Easy a full day after New Orleans appeared to have escaped widespread destruction from Hurricane Katrina. An estimated 80 percent of the below-sea-level city was under water, up to 20 feet deep in places, with miles and miles of homes swamped.
"The situation is untenable," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said. "It's just heartbreaking."
One Mississippi county alone said its death toll was at least 100, and officials are "very, very worried that this is going to go a lot higher," said Joe Spraggins, civil defense director for Harrison County, home to Biloxi and Gulfport.
Several victims in the county were from a beachfront apartment building that collapsed under a 25-foot wall of water as Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast with 145-mph winds. And Louisiana officials said many were feared dead there, too, making Katrina one of the most punishing storms to hit the United States in decades.
After touring the destruction by air, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said it is not of case of homes being severely damaged, "they're simply not there... I can only imagine that this is what Hiroshima looked like 60 years ago."

All day long, rescues in boats and helicopters pulled out shellshocked and bedraggled flood refugees from rooftops and attics. Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu said that 3,000 people have been rescued by boat and air, some placed shivering and wet into helicopter baskets. They were brought by the truckload into shelters, some in wheelchairs and some carrying babies, with stories of survival and of those who didn't make it.

An untold number who heeded evacuation orders were displaced and 40,000 were in Red Cross shelters, with officials saying it could be weeks, if not months, before most will be able to return.
"Oh my God, it was hell," said Kioka Williams, who had to hack through the ceiling of the beauty shop where she worked as floodwaters rose in New Orleans' low-lying Ninth Ward. "We were screaming, hollering, flashing lights. It was complete chaos."
"He was kind of on the edge of the roof, catching his breath," Mills said. "Next thing I knew, he came floating past me."
Frank Mills was in a boarding house in the same neighborhood when water started swirling up toward the ceiling and he fled to the roof. Two elderly residents never made it out, and a third was washed away trying to climb onto the roof.
dent Bush cut short his Texas vacation Tuesday to return to Washington to focus on the storm damage.
Emergency medical teams from across the country were sent into the region and Presi-
Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown warned that structural damage to homes, diseases from animal carcasses and chemicals in floodwaters made it unsafe for residents to come home anytime soon.
A mass return also was discouraged to keep from interfering with rescue and recovery efforts.
That was made tough enough by the vast expanse of floodwaters in coastal areas that took an eight-hour pounding from Katrina's howling winds and up to 15 inches of rainfall.

Burnham said he wanted to go to New Orleans to help his mother this weekend, but worried he wouldn't be allowed into the city.
Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco ordered all survivors out of New Orleans last night as levees gave way and pumps failed. Thousands of individuals who were in shelters or trapped in homes were expected to be moved to shelters outside of the flooded areas as soon as possible.
Late Monday night, DeMarco Smith, New Orleans sophomore, still waited to hear from friends who were holed up inside the Louisiana Superdome as the hurricane roared overhead.
"I've tried texting them," he said. "But I haven't been able to get through."
"It was hard knowing my mom was by herself," he said. "It was hard knowing I couldn't be there with her."

In a statement issued by the University of New Mexico's media relations department Giddens commented on the Moonbar incident and his future.
dent that May, "Last May, I had an experience I will remember the rest of my life," he said. "I learned a lot from what happened that evening, and I feel I am a better person because of it.
"Now, I want to move on with a new and exciting situation I have at the University of New Mexico. I have really enjoyed my brief time in Albuquerque and I look forward to working with my new teammates and making a positive impact to the Lobos basketball team on and off the court."
In the same statement, New Mexico men's basketball coach Ritchie McKay said he was aware of Gidden's situation when he
signed him and the charges now facing him changed nothing.
"Before judgment is passed on J.R. please consider that I think we live in a day and age in which we often assume truth in things we hear about a young person's character before really getting to know that individual," he said. "In the short time I have known J.R. Giddens, I believe, from what I have read about him, that he has been wrongly portrayed."
McKay went on to say that anyone in the New Mexico basketball program would attest to Giddens being a fine young man.
In particular, I find it difficult to believe that J.R., the 'stabee,' would have to face the charges that were announced today in rather dramatic fashion," McKay said. "However, I wasn't at the incident so I don't know all of the facts.

"Yet, I trust J.R. and we fully support him. I think that when all is said and done his impact on our basketball program and our community will be significant."

"I remember them saying they really got a good feeling from the campus and the student lifestyle here." Eodice said.
One factor that made the University stand out among other universities was its available resources aimed at helping students to succeed. One example of such as resource is the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.

Additionally, Mary Klayer, English lecturer, said the University had tried to focus on keeping class sizes to a minimum. She said even in classes that were larger, faculty attempted to implement smaller components, such as discussions.

The University also emphasized international experiences. Bretz said stricter admissions had improved the University's success as a whole.
"I think in general the University has very high quality faculty, and we've gone from being open admissions to having qualified admissions," Bretz said.
Bretz said the University had seen a steady improvement in retention rates, which is the return of students from one year to the next, and had its highest retention rate on record. She said the rate was about 83%.
"When you have eager students and eager faculty, that's just a great combination," Bretz said.

Televisions at recreation center a waste of money
PAGE 5A
Have you been to the Student Recreation Fitness Center lately? Have you seen the new televisions on the exercise machines? Did you read that great quote in the Kansan last week about how students love the televisions mounted on the elliptical machines?
oat, oat
Rachelle Saathoff, Lawrence sophomore said, "I'd rather just listen to music. For me, it's too hard to concentrate on TV when you're working out," in the Aug. 24, 2005 edition of the Kansan.
100
Apparently while working out, people were complaining that they were being forced to watch a channel they didn't like, said Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services.
I'm glad with all the budget cuts, we still have enough money to fix the leaky roof
DAN HOYT
opinion@kansan.com
and add televisions to the exercise equipment.
We must have the best Student Recreation Fitness Center around if the only thing we can do to improve it is put televisions on the machines.
Maybe next week we could buy more fancy, cool and expensive equipment or maybe we could just buy two more bench presses so we don't have to wait in line for 45 minutes to use one.
After thinking about it, however, I decided the televisions sound much cooler. Next week, I'll bring my Xbox
and play Halo 2 while using the treadmill. That would be cool!
Or next year, let's just get the University to pay to have an Xbox mounted onto the treadmill.
That would be even better! Maybe we can get them to option for old school Nintendo, and then we can play Track and Field right on the treadmill! It'd be like running virtually and physically.
Or maybe we could get some Dance Dance Revolution's in the recreation center!
That's sort of like exercising, right?
I don't watch much TV but I do play a lot of video games and I think that would be a cool way to spend several hundred dollars.
Spending that money would be easily worth it. After all,
it'd be a cosmic tragedy if I had to do an entire workout and not watch the latest episode of, The Biggest Loser on MTV.
I would just die if I wasn't entertained for an hour or so while I rode a stationary bicycle.
---
OK. Now, I'll be serious. These are all dumb ideas. I can't ever imagine having so much money that I would buy an elliptical machine with a television mounted on it. Why does the recreation center seem to think we need, not just one, but several television-mounted treadmills? I want another bench press.
Last year, an article ran on the opinion page about the University using Band-Aid solutions to fix problems like overcrowding in the recreation center and at the Wescoe Underground.
It takes a good 45 minutes to get on one of those and I bet they could buy three new bench presses for the price of one of those unnecessary televisions.
Instead of using that money maybe the rec center could have saved the it for something it could use later when it's adding onto the building.
But, even in Wescoe Underground, there is a nice big, LCD flat screen television hanging off a pillar.
Only a small number of people can see the television, and they don't pay attention to it.
Why did it have to be such a nice television? Why couldn't we get a used television if it was going to be in such a useless place?
less place. I'd bet that most of you didn't know there was a television in the Wescoe Underground.
All I'm asking is that we don't buy dumb, unnecessary things when we have better places to spend money.
I just want the people making the decisions about what to do with our money to consider if what they are buying is necessary or a waste of money.

HUMP DAY
Your boyfriend has crabs
Columnist's Note: Hump Day is the most important collaboration of words since the Constitution. Every two weeks, I will tackle a subject with the intent to provide advice for all students seeking help with relationships and doing the nasty.
ERIC JORGENSEN opinion@kansan.com
A troubled freshman girl came to me last weekend with a problem. She asked to remain anonymous.
For this column we will refer to her as "Bemily." Bemily asked, "Eric, I have a boyfriend back home. We don't go to the same school now, what should I do?"
I will tell you what I told her:
Give him the ol' heave-ho. Any freshman girl, or any girl for that matter, who has a boyfriend more than 10 miles away, needs to cut the anchor and start partaking in a little thing we call college.
There are many good reasons to leave hometown Harry. I will tell you two.
First of all, he's cheating on you.
The odds that your high school sweetie is sitting on his couch, staring forward, thinking only of you are about as rare as finding Courtney Love out of rehab.
tures or your hepatitis results, he's telling his boys how he was doing the no-pants dance with Swamp Thing's ugly sister.
Then, while you are showing your roommates your prom pie-
The fact is, while you are playing little Miss Faithful, he's out getting busy with some random girl who he will regret when he wakes up with a burning sensation in the worst possible place.
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, ladies. You just need to face reality. This is not high school anymore.
Your boyfriend is not going to open your locker or write you sappy little notes. He does
"While you are showing your roommates your prom pictures, he's telling his boys how he was doing the no-pants dance with Swamp Thing's ugly sister."
And you know alcohol is not going to tell him to leave the
not have to leave your house by midnight. He can stay drunker than Nick Nolte at a German beer festival until he goes home for Thanksgiving.
Brazilian twins alone.
It plays out like this. You will go out to dinner. Then you will probably pick up the check, because he lost all his money in a "peeing-for-distance" competition. Then you hook up.
There are literally thousands of eligible bachelors at the University of Kansas waiting for you to become available. Ladies, you need to embrace this, and them, in a night of kinky, roommate-waking sex.
What happens when you see him again?
Another reason you need to lose the guy back home is simple. You can't tell me there isn't at least one guy on campus you wouldn't strip all your clothes and inhibitions for.
To prove your hometown boyfriend is not the one, I have a test for you. Walk up to the guy in class, across the hall, or whomever you have been eyeing. Go right up to him, look him in the eye and say, "I only want to have sex with my boyfriend for the rest of my life." I guarantee you can't do it.
Great, now you have crabs,
too! See what happens when
you come to college with a
boyfriend? You end up with an
itchy case of V.D.
To Bemily, and all the other girls with long-distance relationships: Don't risk getting crabs. Break up with your hometown boyfriend.

D disparities between new students and established students extend beyond knowing where to get the best pizza
As the first weeks of the fall semester come to a close, freshmen find themselves adjusting, while seniors find themselves preparing. Freshman worry about filling out the right forms to get into the right classes. Seniors hope they have taken the right classes and received the right grades so graduation would go off without a hitch.
Jesse Plous, New York senior, said graduation and preparation for the job market were big concerns for seniors and graduate students.
nurs and graduate students "For a frosh, graduating is something that is a worry, but it's four years off," he said. "I, on the other hand, have only nine months left."
have only nine months until Upperclassmen such as Plous spend their time maintaining their grade point averages to get internships or gain entrance to graduate school; they also have to keep up their grades while hunting for post-college jobs.
schedules.
Taylor Bennett, Lenexa freshman, said classes weren't the hard part of college; they were "no stress. I've found some of my classes to be childish at best."
Experienced students and beginning students have different priorities. Seniors have much busier schedules and fast-approaching deadlines for graduate school applications, internships and job applications. Freshmen think they possess a lot of time, and with that time comes room in their schedules.
to be critical. His only real concern right now was the size of his classes; he was intimidated by the size of some of the lecture halls. Other than that, he said, college has been interesting so far.
Bennett also said that the main aspect of college life he faced was "adapting to the social structure" and balancing his social life with classes.
"I'm different from a senior in that I am not worried so much about what I am doing immediately after college," Bennett said. He admitted that what concerned him most was not necessarily what would worry a senior.
Andrew Slater, Overland Park freshman, said what differentiated freshmen from seniors was that freshmen were "incredibly naive." They have yet to firmly establish themselves, define opinions and feel confident in expressing them. He admitted he had "no profound thoughts" yet.
no profound thought. Another difference between upperclassmen and underclassmen is the concept of the grade point average. For freshmen, a GPA is something to establish and maintain if they want to get into the professional school of their choice. Slater has been thinking about enrolling into the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications, but said his biggest concern for his first year in school was getting the right GPA; the school requires a minimum of a 3.0 cumulative GPA for early admittance, or a 2.5 for regular admittance.

Carrie Warner. St. Louis, Mo., senior, finds that freshmen are more apt to dress to impress the opposite sex while seniors, who tend to have jobs and relationships, are bent on looking more professional.

The Kansas soccer team will use motivation to fix mishap from an overtime own- goal loss to Wisconsin on Sunday.
Twenty-third-ranked Kansas, 0-1-1, will face Missouri State, 1-0-0, at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex today at 5 p.m.
Complex today Kansas will look for its first victory after a tough loss at the hands of 25th-ranked Wisconsin. The 3-2 defeat left Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis with concerns about his defense.
Until Sunday, Kansas had not given up three or more goals in a regular season game since Sept. 28, 2003, in a 3-2 loss to Texas Tech.
"If we can eliminate some of those mistakes, it's going to be a lot tougher to score on us," Francis said. "We haven't given up three goals in a long time. We've got to start getting a little bit better mentally."
The Kansas defense has already allowed four goals in its first two games.
ing some mistakes.
Junior defender Nikki Alvarez said this was a time for her to work out issues with her teammates before facing Missouri State.
Kansas allowed only 13 total goals last season.
"We have a young team in general," Alvarez said. "We
Own-goal, other mistakes cause for concern after Wisconsin loss
goals last season.
The goalkeeper position was a cause for concern after the defensive struggles during last weekend's games against Michigan and Wisconsin. Francis said he and his coaching staff would take the time to re-evaluate certain situations in order to come to a decision on a starting goalkeeper.
Despite the defensive struggles, Francis said he was pleased with the offensive ball movement and the combinations in front of the goal.
"Penalty box to penalty box, we're playing pretty well," Francis said. "Inside the box, at either end right now, we're making some mistakes."
"We just have to come out and focus and reduce the mistakes," Alvarez said. "We'll just play as a team and make sure we get a couple more goals than they do."
Kansas has been familiar with overtime as well, coming off two matches that went into extra minutes.
Missouri State finished in fourth place in the Missouri Valley Conference last year, with a 9-4-4 record. This year, the Bears lone victory came against Arkansas State, in a 2-1 overtime victory in Springfield, Mo.
push each other. As we get toward the latter part of the season we'll have more chemistry, but I think we're doing well as a team right now."
Senior forward Caroline Smith leads the team with two goals and four points. As a team, Kansas is sitting at a 41 shot-on-goal percentage.

FOOTBALL
Quarterbacks use each other to grow
BY RYAN COLAANNI

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Adam Barmann wasn't exactly shocked when he learned that Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named him the starting quarterback on Monday.
"Coach never really came out and told us. I have just been working with the ones most of camp so I felt like it was always my job," Barmann said.
The junior quarterback edged out senior Brian Luke and freshman Kerry Meier for the starting job.
Luke didn't find out that he wasn't the starting quarterback until he read a newspaper article yesterday morning.
terday morning.
"I am not discouraged whatsoever by it. It is not going to affect the way I work or my approach to this game," Luke said. "I realize that my opportunity may come two plays into the season or two weeks into the season. Whenever that comes, I will be ready to do my part."
I will be ready to do my part. Luke said he and Barmann did not hold grudges against each other, even though they were fighting for the same job.
"Adam and I are out there helping each other," Luke said. "We are trying to make each other better, and that is the important thing, that we are both trying to make this team better."
Barmann said he was looking forward to starting on Saturday.
"This is what we have been working for all spring, and now it is finally here, just a few days away," Barmann said.
Mangino did not rule out the possibility that another quarterback may see some time on the field. He said that he and the offensive coaches were still tinkering with what they wanted to do.
compiled to his previews.
"When I first got here it seemed like everything was going 100 miles an hour. It seems like it is starting to slowdownlittlebit," Barnannsaid. Barnann started eight games last season and passed for 1,427 yards with 12 touchdowns.
Barmann said he had a better grasp of the offense this season compared to his previous two.
Baines Back
Say What:
Mangino said yesterday that this weekend's season opener was extremely important because the team had lost its previous three season openers. Maybe he forgot it tapped Tulsa 21-3 to open last season's campaign.
Mangino said he expected senior cornerback Theo Baines to see the field on Saturday. Baines has seen limited action in practice because of injury. Say What?

Jayhawks may take weak division
If you're a big-time college football fan or a big-time Kansas football fan, you've heard the talk
The Big 12 North is terrible. No team stands out, and only two of the six teams made it to a bowl game last season.
This year it doesn't look much better. All six teams have a legitimate chance at winning the division, and all six teams also have a legitimate chance to have losing records.
With all that said, I think the North is going to be great. Maybe not great talentwise, but it's going to be great to watch.
Every week, any team could beat any other team. Kansas proved that last year by having big victories against Kansas State and Missouri, but losing to Iowa State and Nebraska.
When Kansas football coach Mark Mangino addressed the media for the first time this season, he said the Jayhawks would throw their hat in the ring for Big 12 North champions.
Well, coach, your chances are as good as anyone's. Your team also has just as good of a chance of finishing last and missing out on a bowl game.
Right now, it's hinging on a bunch of its.
ii Adam Barmann can continue to separate himself from the competition and have a big season, it will mean more wins for Kansas.
If the running game can take some pressure off Barmann, it will mean more victories for Kansas.
I could present more scenarios, but you get my point.
This could be a special season for Kansas football. Or it could be a really bad year.
Oct. 8 is a big date for Kansas, when it will play at Kansas State. If the Jayhawks win that game, confidence will be high in the locker room, and big things could follow.
"The North is wide open," Mark Simmons, senior wide receiver, said. "The media picked Colorado and Iowa State to be on top, and we played both of those teams to the wire last year. I don't see why we aren't being picked."
The players know they have as good of a chance as any team.

Freshman midfielder Missy Geha prepares to pass around a Wisconsin defender during the game Sunday afternoon in Topeka. KU soccer runs in the family; Geha's older sister Amy was a senior midfielder for the team last season.
Freshman midfielder proud to fill older sister's position on field
BY BJ RAINS

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
While Missy Geha was playing soccer in high school, her older sister Amy was busy playing midfield for the Jayhawks. After Amy Geha was named first team All Big 12 and second team All Central Region last year, one may think that freshman midfielder Missy Geha would be ready to get out of her sister's shadow.
Not at all.
Missy Geha, 2004 Kansas Gatorade High School Soccer Player of the Year, actually likes following in the footsteps of her older sister Amy, who played for the Kansas
soccer team from 2001 to 2004.
"I would never want to get out of her shadow, because she's such a good player, and it gives me something to look forward to." Geha said.
Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis, last year's Big 12 Coach of the Year, was at Kansas for all four of Amy Geha's years on the field, and recruited her younger sister. It's not difficult to tell the players apart, he said.
Following her four-year career at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, Missy Geha signed to play at Kansas the same spring that her sister graduated, giving the Jayhawks four more years with a Geha on the roster.
"Other than the name on the back of the jersey and a small family resemblance, it's really not that hard," Francis said. "They are two different types of players."
different types of playgrounds Consider the difference in their sizes: Missy Geha stands at 5 feet 6 inches, while her older sister looks up to her at only 5 feet 2 inches.
"Physically, Missy is a lot bigger and stronger than Amy," Francis said. "It makes her very tough to beat defensively."
Missy Geha agreed that she had a size advantage on her older sister, but said that doesn't mean she's a better player.
"I am bigger than her, but she is

Jayhawks will go west to start 'most challenging schedule'
BASEBALL
The Kansas baseball team released its schedule for the upcoming 2006 season on Monday.
The Jayhawks will have their rivalry games at the end of March and in April. Kansas faces Missouri at Hoglund Ballpark March 31 through April 2. Kansas will face Kansas State at home on April 21 and then travel to Manhattan for two games.
The schedule will include 10 teams that made the 2005 NCAA Baseball Tournament, according to kauthletics.com.
"Our program has continued to make progress and this is our most challenging schedule and it might be the toughest schedule in the Big 12," Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price said.
The Jayhawks will play Hawai-iHilo in a series starting Feb. 1. Kansas will then face off against Stanford.
Kansas's difficult west coast road trip will not end in February. Southern California will play host to the Public Storage Classic on Feb. 17-19, where Kansas will play Southern California, San Diego and Vanderbilt.
Kansas will continue to face tough opponents such as Clemson from March 10-12.
The most difficult test may come May 5-7 when Kansas travels to Austin, Texas to take on the defending NCAA National Champion Texas Longhorns.

Wildcats need 'work ethic'

KANSAN SENIOR SWITTERWRITE
Kansan file photo
Defensive linemen Tim Allen and Jermial Ashley, then juniors, converge for a tackle on Allen Webb, then Kansas State sophomore quarterback, during last season's 31-28 win. The Jayhawks travel to Manhattan this season on Oct. 8th.
Editor's Note: This is the 10th of 11 articles previewing Kansas' competition in the Big 12 Conference. The articles will run every day from now until Sept. 1. Tomorrow, the Kansan will look at Missouri.
The Kansas State Wildcats stumbled to a 4-7 record last season, giving them their first losing season since 1992.
Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder said it wouldn't be easy to return to the form the Wildcats when they captured a Big 12 Championship in 2003.
Jeromey Clary, senior offensive tackle, said the team had realized the errors it made last season and was ready to correct them to get the new season under way.
"I think that our practices were kind of lackadaisical, and we didn't really show good work ethic, and I think that's changed," Clary said. "I think our team is a lot different this year. We work a lot harder."
Not only does Snyder have to deal with last year's losing record, he also has to replace running back Darren Sproles, the team's former top player. Sproles holds the Kansas State record for rushing yards in a career with just less than 5,000 yards. Snyder has yet to determine a starter at the running back position, but said he has been happy with the work of the players competing for the job.
"Well, you can't replace Darren Sproles. I think we all understand that," Snyder said. "I think it will be — it will just be a very competitive spot, and hopefully that makes all of them better. I would like to think that would be the case."
Although Snyder has yet to name a starter, junior Thomas Clayton has the upper hand heading into the first game, Snyder said. Senior Senator Alsup, freshman Parrish Fisher and junior Donnie Anders will all challenge Clayton and see considerable time in the team's first game against Florida International.
Another uncertain position on Kansas State's offense is quarterback. The starter from a year ago, junior Dylan Meier, returns to the team; however, he spent the offseason recovering
Junior Allen Webb will challenge Meier for the starting spot and most likely start the team's first game against Florida International. Snyder said he was unsure of how he would use Meier in the season opener.
"Dylan could play, but we don't know if he will." Snyder said. "Alan took steps forward this offseason. Last year in five or six starts he was hot and cold. I think there has been an overall improvement by him in the offseason."
The strong point of the team should be defense. The defense will be led by Brandon Archer, junior linebacker. Archer was named the team's most improved player last season and tallied 75 tackles.
The Wildcats also boast a strong defensive line anchored
by returning senior starters Scott Edmonds and Derek Marso. Edmonds led the team in tackles for a loss and sacks last season, while Marso returns for his third year of starting duty.
"We still have a ways to go defensively, and that's true with other segments of the program as well, but I think we have made improvement," Snyder said. "I thought we got better during the offseason program. I think we got better with spring practice."
Kansas State opens its conference season with a road game at Oklahoma. A week later, Kansas will travel to Manhattan, which could be a pivotal game in the Big 12 North division. Kansas State will close out its season at home against Missouri.

Club Sports Frisbees to take flight
BY ERIC AMMERMAN
eammerman@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The KU men's ultimate Frisbee team has set two goals this year. improve on last year's regional loss and recruit many new members.
The loss notwithstanding, Nick Casady, senior, said he had plenty of faith in this year's team.
"Right now, expectations are set pretty high," Casady said. "I believe we have the best returning team in the country," he said.
Last season, the Jayhawks won sectionals and the Ultimate Players Association ranked them No.23 nationally. The team lost to Texas in the regional final, by five points.
The squad welcomes any KU student who is interested in participating. A "B" squad was formed three years ago as a place for extra players. This year, the team is interested in adding a "C" team, if needed.
Casady said the growth of ultimate Frisbee at the university level was because of a lack of varsity men's sports. Casady said he was a swimmer, but there was no swim team for him to join when he came to Kansas.
Senior Tom Fawkes said first timers shouldn't be intimidated by the game.
"Just come to practice; we'll be happy to teach anyone." he said.
"It's a really great group of guys who are fun to be competitive with," Fawkes said.
The time commitment is about six to 10 hours a week. Practices are from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m on Tuesday and Thursdays.
The HorrorZontals have been on campus for some time, having joined the University's club sports in 1982.
Fawkes recalled one game when three players attempted to catch the Frisbee and they all collided face-first. That shouldn't stop people from trying out though. Casady said.
"Don't be intimidated, but expect to work," Casady said.

lot quicker than me," Geha said, who recalled playing her older sister in the back yard on numerous occasions. "They were pretty intense battles, and with our differences it evened out every once in a while."
Francis has been pleased with Geha's performance in practice this season and attributes some of her success to her ability to catch on to new skills.
"She has started out really well," Francis said. "She is playing a position she is used to playing, but not in a formation that has three midfield players. So she is still adjusting to that a little bit. She is a very quick learner."
Despite her recent high school success, Missy Geha remains humble. When asked about her greatest strength, she was speechless.
A rough and rugged rugby ruck drill
"I don't have one." Geha said. "I'll do anything they need me to do. I am just going to work as hard as I can to help the team win."
Though only a freshman, Geha is ready to fill her sister's shoes.

Longtime broadcaster will hang up head phones
Max Falkenstien, long-time radio broadcaster for Kansas Athletics, will retire at the end of the 2005-2006 men's basketball season, athletics department officials announced yesterday.
ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
"Although I still am in good health, I realize there finally comes a time when one must call an end to something, no matter how much he enjoys it," Falkenstien said.
Falkenstien is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Naismith Basketball of Fame. In 2001, The Sporting News magazine named him "the best college radio personality in the country."
He began broadcasting at Kansas on March 18, 1946. It was an NCAA tournament game between Kansas and Oklahoma A&M.
Falkenstien will enter his 60th season covering Kansas athletics and his 21st serving as color commentator.
"No one can replace Max," Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said. "We will always be indebted to him for what he has done and what he means to Jayhawk athletics."

Chiefs quarterback's condition uncertain
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Safeties Shaunard Harts and Willie Pile were among seven players waived yesterday by the Kansas City Chiefs, who were also putting quarterback Trent Green through an exhaustive battery of tests.
Coach Dick Vermeil said he was not sure Green would be able to play in the final exhibition game Friday night at St. Louis. At the same time, backup Todd Collins still
is hobbled by a hand injury and might not be ready for the season opener on Sept. 11 against the New York Jets.
Green has been bothered by numbness in his right foot and lower right leg. He played in only two series last week against Seattle before giving way to Jonathan Quinn, who was out of football when the Chiefs gave him an emergency call last week.
Vermeil said he would have a better idea of Green's condition today.
"He's going through a battery of tests. Some of these tests aren't just five-minute deals," Vermil
said. "They take sophisticated equipment and sophisticated people to administer"
Vermeil said he remained confident Green would be ready for the season opener.
"If he couldn't play, it's a big hurt. But we don't anticipate that kind of evaluation, or findings when it's all said and done," he said. "I'm always concerned when you look out on the field and your starting quarterback's not on the field."
In the meantime, the Chiefs made nine player transactions to get down to 75 players.
Linebacker Shawn Barber, as expected, was placed on the physically unable-to-perform list and fullback Robert Holcombe was put on injured reserved. Barber underwent major knee surgery after a season-ending injury last year.
Walved were punter Nick Murphy, wide receivers Nathanial Curry, Darrell Hill and Richard Smith, tackle Thomas Barnett and Pile and Harts.
Harts has seen considerable action the past four years, and his release was somewhat of a surprise.
